Chapter 405 – Seeing Your Death Coming In The Last Second Of Your Life.
Although with that lightning speed move of Li Xue on their leader, the men were impressed, still they could not see themselves at any defeated end. Especially, given to the advantage that they were good in numbers with loaded weapons while she was all alone without any help or back up. They were all confident on the upper hand in the play.
But their confidence was their biggest mistake. They took the lady in front of them too easy to think that she did not have any weapon in her hand.
Getting his rash nerves supported by such inaccurate facts, the man's words came out all arrogant as he said, "Don't act too smart, lady. Though you were good before, don't forget we are still men with loaded weapons and best strengths. Don't think that you will be able to escape defeating us here. You simply cannot match us. Just give up, after all, you are still a woman, born to be weak and frail".
Li Xue's already smiling lips deepened its curve when heard those words. Her eyes danced with a gaze of disdain when she looked at the man. Shaking her head to his gender-biased thoughts, she nonchalantly said, "Sigh! You got there wrong. Though I am not a feminist personality in my life, hearing such words pisses my mood off. Does a woman have to prove her skills and power to the sick headed people like you?".
Before anyone could understand what, those words meant; a loud yelp of agony was heard in the air as the man curled down on the floor with no strength left in his body. His loaded pistol, successfully falling a few feet away from him.
The movement was so smooth and swift that the other four men did not understand the situation of their comrade until their eyes realized the presence of a bare nibbed pen in the grasp of the woman's hand. Did that mean … Before they could put any seal of confirmation to their own comprehended conclusion, they heard Li Xue's words of impatience.
"Arghh … I am running too slow. I need to hurry or else it would be your Boss winning the deal and I really can' let his craziness win. Come on, let's finish this soon as you six would not be only men, I will be facing on my way", she said, charging her steps forward in their direction.
The men instantly went alert, seeing her approaching. Their pistols ready to fire but their hands lacking the confidence, seeing the approaching steps of the woman.
Li Xue remained all unfazed to their aiming guns, maybe because she has already noticed their shaking hands or maybe because she has been too sure of her own learnt skills to know that she would be easily able to tackle the situation.
"You … you better be in here or we will not hesitate in firing the shots on you. Don't forget we have got pistols", the man said as he tried his best to angle the gunpoint at her. But his shaky hands were just not helping it.
His threats left no effect on Li Xue as she continued to approach their withdrawing steps at a good speed. Reaching them with just a few long steps, she held one's wrist down with some force while using the pen in her other hand, stabbed him firmly on the three deadly points of his body. And the man was already on his knees, twitching in pain.
"Lesson 3 to remember: It's not important which weapon you use, it's important how well you can use". She said with a teasing smile as her eyes gazed at her next target.
And without any further wastage of time, another one was also down following the rest two. Her swift stabs did not come in anyone's eyes but were perfectly leaving men on the floors, puncturing their nerves of strength in an instant.
Soon all the men were left on the floor while Li Xue ran out in the corridor, picking up one of the shards of the glass on her way. Her hasty steps warned everyone from a distance.
As she has assumed before, she wasn't surprised seeing more men coming in her way one after the other. After all, this was still a base of the underworld, there won't be just a group of six men guarding the place rather a bigger group planning for another mission to execute.
As they came charging toward her, she kept on attacking them, taking them down one after the other. Her one hand holding the pen while the other holding the sharp shard of glass. Though neither her weapons nor her strength was any match to the ones others were using on her, still the skills she was using in her moves were already top-notch to surpass any other thing. She was too good in her own ways. Like her actions were not something she has learnt through practice, rather been something running in her blood.
In her way, she has been so absorbed that she did not realize when the shard started piercing her own skin, making the blood drip down her hands. Moving further and further in the place, she soon came to halt as her eyes stared at the two paths in front of her eyes.
"What the heck is this now? Does he want me to solve a maze to find him?" she said under her breath as she stared at the two paths that were presented to her. Sighing, in her heart, she pulled her watch up only to find the last 60 seconds remaining. Did she even have the time to decide now?
"He is really the last crazy man of this world. It's your fault, Li Xue, that you accepted him as your friend. If not, then this day would have never arrived in your life" She chided herself, letting out a sigh. Then taking a deep breath, she decided to take her choice on her instincts. But just when she was about to take her step forward, a banging gunshot was heard in the air and the next second she saw her death nearing her in the form of a bullet that was fired in her way.
Was this what they say, seeing your death coming at the last second of her life?
