Hei Zi's face suddenly became icy cold, the surrounding area turned depressing, too.

A battle that is unavoidable...

The last time at the hot spring resort, Hei Zi was beaten by Xia Yao which made Hei Bao lost face. After returning to the company, he was subjected to various punishments, exclusion from colleagues and almost lost his job. Hei Zi has always been bitter about this matter and has long been planning to fight back for his honor.

"Last time I let you hit me, but this time I will show you Grandpa's power!"

Hei Zi was armed with weapons, even the ring on his hand has a small blade on it. Coming closer to him will ensure spilled blood. Xia Yao was unarmed, but his defense ability is strong. No matter which direction Hei Zi attacks, he will be able to dodge them with flexible moves.

In order to avoid troublesome problems, they moved from the roadside to a more private place. Momentarily, the sound of kicking punching, heavy breathing and shouting was heard from the narrow alleys.

Hei Zi withdrew two steps, all of a sudden, a fierce kick flew toward Xia Yao's face. Xia Yao dodged it by turning his head but was only half successful. His face turned numb from the force of the leg but was still able to return with a heavy punch to Hei Zi's chest. Hei Zi's grasp his wounded chest, and because of that, he was not able to block Xia Yao's simultaneous kicks, knocking him to the wall behind him.

Xia Yao saw this as a potential chance to attack, he backed Hei Zi towards the corner of the wall, a fisted hand abruptly attacked Hei Zi's lip.

"See if you can talk shit now!"

Xia Yao was going to happily clean up this scum when suddenly, white powder was thrown at his face. Although Xia Yao responded quickly, some powder still managed to get into his eyes and his line of sights was disrupt with cloudiness.

Fuck, playing dirty I see!

Xia Yao's eyesight wasn't even as good as Hei Zi's before, now, all of his sense became dull and half-beat in an instant. Just a moment ago, Hei Zi was the one who suffered, now, he took advantage of this opportunity to rise up and resist, like a rabid dog, he viciously and violently "bite" Xia Yao's fragile land.

Xia Yao's cold face was grabbed and twisted by the neck by Hei Zi. While trying to get away from the grasp, Xia Yao sensed a sinister aura from Hei Zi who pulled out a sharp knife and scraped a fine line on his face. Xia Yao wriggled even harder.

"A whore will always be a whore, always trying to protect this beautiful face."

Hei Zi, suddenly stomped his foot on Xia Yao's thigh. To make matters worse, these shoes have hidden blades, which brings immense pain for its intended prey. Xia Yao cried out, the pain he felt was like sharp nails puncturing his bones, and his leg did not have the strength to keep up right. The other foot also gave way.

Hei Zi sat on Xiao Yao's chest, using a sharp weapon and repeatedly attacked Xia Yao's face in a teasing manner as if to dally with him.

"I must take it upon myself to disfigure that beautiful face of yours!"

Xia Yao was force to think of something rapid, he picked up a piece of brick and shoved it into Hei Zi's face. Hei Zi dodged the attack, but it managed to scrape his ears, causing it to bleed furociously.

"Fuck you!"

Hei Zi revealed a sinister smile, he furiously threw Xia Yao's body, making his face slam into the ground. Using one hand to hold Xia Yao's back neck, he pushed it down onto the cold floor, while the other gripped Xia Yao's hair and dragged his face against the ground for nearly 10 meters.

Xia Yao's face was covered with rubble of the earth. He felt as if his entire face had been scratched by sharp knives. The mixture in the nose and mouth was a mixture of mud and rubbish.

Just when Xia Yao felt that he was done for, the weight on his body suddenly disappeared.

Hei Zi was just starting enjoying himself until suddenly he lost his hold and was flung four to five meters away with astonishing strength. aside of the wall. When Hei Zi miserably rose up, he saw a large shadow screaming towards his direction. Two pupils like hell's inferno burned his organs and braved black smoke.

Yuan Zong's initial uncertainty urged him to follow Xia Yao. Xia Yao's and Xuan Da Yu's house have identical routes. Fortunately, Xia Yao was still on this road or else Yuan Zong would have lost track. If Xia Yao had walked another few kilometers and turn a few corners, he would never have found him nearly beaten to death like this

Hei Zi was truly scared now. Just staring at Yuan Zong's flaming face was enough to make his knees quiver.

Yuan Zong suddenly took hold of Hei Zi's two hands, and didn't move. Just when Hei Zi started to struggle with fear, a crackling of splitting bones were heard from his fingers. Hei Zi's breathing completely stopped, his eyes sluggishly moved towards his hands, and his facial muscle broke into ugly lines. The ten fingers that belong to Hei Zi were all disjointed, bending over backwards on his hand. (Imagine Harry Porter's hand *wink wink*)

"What............."

A sudden burst of piercing scream broke out from his throat, fingers and heart. The pain hit the indestructible dam of Hei Zi like ferocious waves. Hei Zi rolled on the floor writhing in pain, but in the next second, his ankle was also caught by Yuan Zong.

"Don't----ah---ah!"

Yuan Zong pounded the 'steel fist' that hit Hei Zi on the ankle, which shattered all his bones. Following was a brutal reversal of the wrist, the broken bones were cruelly turned 360 and the entire foot reversed hard in one direction. The toes are backwards and the heels are facing front. None of the two feet were spared.

With the fierce anger that is unmatched, Yuan Zong, like a vicious tiger and a lion, launched himself at Hei Zi for bloody revenge. The 'thousand pound fist' poured like rain upon Hei Zi. Every hit meeting the flesh, every hit have broke bones.

Hei Zi's pupil widened violently, his facial twitch. The intense and inhuman howl of pain was like the scream of a malicious demon at night. The legs of two passerby were frightened to jello before taking off the other way.

Just by hearing the movement happening, Xia Yao was able to identify who that person was. The only person who can force these screaming out of people is none other than Yuan Zong himself. He dreaded that Yuan Zong might kill the person from the way he is hitting so he called out to him in an anguish groan.

"Hurry come over, I am not able to handle it much longer."

Yuan Zong clench his fist in an unwillingness to stop. He hurried toward Xia Yao with long strides.

Xia Yao wiped his face before struggling to stand up, he felt like he can't even walk due to the pain in his thighs. Yuan Zong who was walking toward him picked Xia Yao up, place him in the car, before they rushed to the hospital.

When driving, Yuan Xong doesn't even so much glance to his side, fearing he might get upset and accidentally crash into the car in front of him if he looked.

Xia Yao sat in the front passenger seat, his face burning unbearably. When he went to rub it, he felt blood and bumpiness. The corner of his left eye was split open causing the skins surrounding his eyelids to swell making him difficult to open his eye. What is more terrible is the position of the sacrum and the femur which is causing him more pain. It hurt so much that he couldn't even sit up right and his legs kept sliding down. He can only use his arms to prop himself up on the seats and suppressing the pressure on his waist and legs.

Yuan Zong heard Xia Yao's repressed inhalation and couldn't help but ask, "Does it hurt? Can you still hold up?"

"It's nothing, just drive."

Xia Yao constantly held his breath...inhaling...exhaling...inhaling... but it was useless.

When Yuan Zong's car to arrived at the hospital, Xia Yao had no strength left and slipped out of the passenger seat. Yuan Zong quickly opened the door and picked Xia Yao up before rushing him toward the hospital building.

When cleaning the opened wounds, Yuan Zong was able to clearly see Xia Yao's conditions. The entire face was completely different and swollen two times larger than usual. The wound by the corner of his eyes was the only deep mark while the rest were only minor abrasions. He turned from a violent grandpa to a person filled with pockmark.

Yuan Zong's current mood was pretty obvious.

After the examination and X-ray of Xia Yao's leg was finished, they gently wrapped the leg up with bandage, making the pain alleviate, before placing him on a bed, but if Xia Yao struggled it would still sting. The result of the examination will take a while to come out. Yuan Zong was there to accompany him while they waited.

"Am I disfigured now?" Xia Yao asked

Yuan Zong pinched Xia Yao's bloated fat face lightly and didn't say anything.

Xia Yao said, "Give me the mirror, I wanna see."

"There is no mirror in the hospital," Yuan Zong said.

"Save it!" Xia Yao wasn't feeling so much pain right now so his fiery spirit was back. "You always carry a small mirror in your pocket. You think I don't know?"

Yuan Zong can never resist Xia Yao's pestering, so in the end he handed it over to him.

Xia Yao looked into the small mirror but it only captured his eyes, not his full face. When he looked at the mirror from a farther distance, he also frightened himself. =)))))))

"This...."

Xia Yao suffered a harsh blow to his self esteem. He took the pillow under his head and shoved it onto his face.

Yuan Zong saw the situation and went to stop it, "What are you doing? You still have medicine on your face!"

"I can never show my face to anyone ever again..." Xia Yao's big swollen face became even more comical. "This is practically like going from Lin ZhiYing to suddenly change to Guo DeGang [1]!"

[1] Lin ZhiYing

Guo DeGang

Yuan Zong originally was depressed, but he was forced by Xia Yao to throw in a smile.

Xia Yao pushed Yuan Zong lightly, " Go, go, go. Just get out. I don't need you to look after me. I am ashamed of myself right now."

"Stop making a fuss," Yuan Zong grabbed Xia Yao's hand and pressed it down, "In a couple of days the swelling will go down."

"Then you can come back and see me after a couple days."

The two were busy talking to each other until the nurse came into the room.

"Your test result just came out. Unfortunately, you have fractured your femur. This requires us to perform an urgent surgery. "

Xia Yao immediately showed a resisting expression after hearing the word surgery, "I do not need surgery. I can just go with good old eastern treatment."

"Given that your fracture is serious, the eastern medical treatment may not help the bone grow well. I am afraid you have to recuperate for many years and the quality of life is not guaranteed, so we recommend that you have the surgery."

Xia Yao changed his mind the instant he realized that to recuperate he will need to lie in bed with a bandaged leg and he cannot conduct any vigorous exercise. Plus he hurt his lower body which means the longer the body takes to recover, the longer liberation of his lower body will be.

"Fine I will do the surgery." Xia Yao said with a change of attitude.

The nurse handed the agreement paper to Xia Yao, "Please sign your name on this."

After Xia Yao signed the paper, the nurse added, "This surgery involve skin preparation."

"What is skin preparation?"Xia Yao looked bewildered.

" kin preparation is to shave the hair to help avoid infections"

Shave the hair, shave the hair, Xia yao mumbled while swiping the hair that might get in the way. His eyes involuntarily locked itself between his two legs, breathing in heavily before all breath left him.
