Chapter 119: Wilderness Survival Battle
In this critical situation, Wei Yuan had no chance to explain further before getting to work, so he could only act boldly and even somewhat roughly. Compared to the imminent crisis, what did it matter?
After a struggle, Wei Yuan finally managed to tear off Yuan Ziyi's long skirt, which was hindering her escape.
"Do you think you can run with such a long tail? Take off your shoes later. I'll find a way to block them. Here’s my phone; you run first and try to find someone to come back and save me."
Wei Yuan spoke rapidly, his demeanor resolute. Yuan Ziyi, hearing this, felt confused; the once incredibly strong woman suddenly had red eyes.
All the men she had interacted with in the past were driven by business interests. Where could she find someone like Wei Yuan, who was willing to put himself in danger just to protect her?
However, Wei Yuan did not think that way. If Yang Ying were beside him, he would have wanted her to join the fight. But considering Yuan Ziyi's combat ability, he felt an ominous premonition and thought it would be better for her to escape early rather than risk having to take care of her later.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" Yuan Ziyi asked in confusion despite the dire circumstances.
"This isn't the time for that; they're about to come over," Wei Yuan whispered.
At that moment, as Yuan Ziyi looked at this boy, she realized she was probably eight years older than him and had far more life experience. Yet for some reason, when Wei Yuan held her hand and urged her to escape, she felt all her rationality being disrupted.
Some men believe they understand women well enough that they can win them over with a few tricks. However, they often encounter women who are not challenging at all. Yuan Ziyi was like a proud phoenix; she never considered women weak because she had achieved things that many men could not.
Yet deep down, she could not escape the delicate emotions inherent in femininity. She also longed for moments of vulnerability but had never met a man who made her feel like she wanted protection—until now, in this tense atmosphere while facing an unknown pursuer.
This seemingly young boy seemed capable of protecting her. When their hands were tightly clasped together, Yuan Ziyi suddenly felt a profound sense of peace within her—a feeling commonly referred to as security.
"Hurry up! Crawl out through the bushes over there. Take my phone and find someone to rescue me quickly; I can't hold on much longer."
Looking at Yuan Ziyi's evening gown, which had no pockets at all, Wei Yuan resisted the urge to stuff the phone down her neckline and instead placed it firmly in her hand.
Yuan Ziyi was not the type who had watched too many melodramatic romances; faced with such a situation, she wouldn’t cry uncontrollably or shout something like "I won't leave; if we die, we die together."
She didn’t do that because she was an absolutely rational woman. At this moment, she understood very clearly that staying here would not help Wei Yuan but might instead complicate things for him.
So she chose to follow Wei Yuan's instructions and crawled out through the bushes. As she moved slowly while dialing a number on Wei Yuan's phone, just as the call was about to connect, an unexpected event occurred.
This incident proved that Wei Yuan's decision was wrong. After all, they were not in the city; there were only a few streetlights within hundreds of meters around them. In the dim light, it was possible for the other party to discover them hiding in the bushes. However, once Yuan Ziyi crawled away, it exposed their position instead.
Her evening gown, designed by some careless designer to highlight a noble aura, was adorned with several cheap silver sequins. When the two of them were lying on the ground, Wei Yuan's body could cover the light emitted by these sequins, but once she crawled away, there was no longer anything to obscure it.
"Boss, where is that woman?"
One of the five men immediately spotted her due to the gleam of the silver sequins on Yuan Ziyi's gown and quickly shouted toward the armed leader.
The only guy with a gun that Wei Yuan had noticed earlier was likely their leader for this operation. He quickly reacted, saying, "Catch that woman! She's our target. As for the man, just take him out."
"Damn it!"
Hearing the leader's order to eliminate him, Wei Yuan's temper flared, and he muttered a few curses under his breath. As the leader rushed over to pursue Yuan Ziyi, Wei Yuan quickly assessed the situation and calculated just right to reach out and grab his legs as he approached.
Bang!
Like a water ghost striking with force, one of the men eager to take credit thought he could quickly catch Yuan Ziyi. As he dashed ahead, Wei Yuan pulled him down hard, causing him to fall flat on his face and make intimate contact with the ground.
"That guy is over here!"
The man who was pulled down by Wei Yuan suddenly noticed his position and stammered out a warning, wincing in pain. Since he had already discovered Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan quickly jumped up and used his enhanced jumping ability from Spiritual Energy modification to kick out at him just as he was getting back on his feet.
Having been at the front of the group, after receiving Wei Yuan's explosive kick, he staggered backward and fell. The four others who were ready to come over and deal with Wei Yuan fell like dominoes along the narrow path in the field, knocking over the three behind him like bowling pins.
Wei Yuan didn't dare let his guard down. Seizing the opportunity, he charged forward and grabbed the unfortunate guy who had fallen. He first delivered a heavy slap across his face and then used years of fighting experience to deliver a double ear slap by cupping his hands together and striking both ears simultaneously.
The auditory nerves are already close to the brain; with Wei Yuan targeting such a vulnerable point and using his powerful explosive strength from Spiritual Energy enhancement, the impact was immense. It was likely that the man's eardrums could have ruptured. At this moment, Wei Yuan couldn't afford to show mercy; one more strike would be necessary.
When the opponent was about to draw their weapon, this was no longer just a fight among students that Wei Yuan had faced before; it was a real survival battle in the wild. If he didn't act ruthlessly now, it would be him lying on the ground.
The five men were on a narrow path in the field that could only accommodate one or two people walking side by side, with a pond nearby. This terrain actually gave Wei Yuan an advantage; although they were more numerous, they couldn't surround him effectively due to the narrowness of the path. Their numbers became a hindrance instead.
"Damn it!"
Wei Yuan constantly engaged in psychological warfare during fights by cursing internally to fuel his anger and gain momentum. To put it bluntly, fighting isn't about size or strength; it's about who is willing to go all out without regard for their life.
As Wei Yuan continued cursing them in his mind, he didn't stop moving. Taking advantage of their disorientation from his earlier strikes to their ears, he used his palm heel to strike upward at their vulnerable chin. The reason for using this technique was that if he struck straight downwards, it would also exert pressure near their throat.
The three men behind were left dumbfounded. They had initially thought that Wei Yuan looked young and particularly refined tonight; they naturally assumed he was an easy target. There was no reason four of them couldn't handle him!
Especially the one running in front, completely ignoring Wei Yuan, planned to rush over and capture Yuan Ziyi to take credit and receive rewards. Unexpectedly, with a fierce kick from Wei Yuan, he almost couldn't catch his breath. Little did he know that Wei Yuan was also filled with rage at that moment, and his hands never stopped, being exceptionally brutal.
The guy running at the front had already collapsed on the ground like a corpse, his jaw clearly dislocated. Moreover, after being struck by Wei Yuan, blood slowly began to flow from his ears.
In the dim light, the bright red blood on the ground wasn't very noticeable, but the other three could see it clearly. They were all fighters who relied on their fists for a living and had trained a bit. They never expected to be unable to withstand even two moves from Wei Yuan, and this guy was too ruthless, incapacitating someone in an instant.
"Hurry up and deal with him, and that woman too. Don't let her escape!"
The leader with the gun, being someone of a certain status, naturally didn't need to get involved personally, so he just stood by and watched. Due to the weak lighting and standing at a distance, he initially thought the one lying on the ground had just been knocked down by Wei Yuan and didn't realize how serious it was. He continued to urge them.
Go up? Or not? This was a serious question.
After all, everyone was born from parents. Seeing that beneath Wei Yuan's seemingly weak exterior lay such brutality, their confidence had already crumbled; they no longer dared to step forward.
However, Wei Yuan did not stop. He feared that the leader standing nearby might shoot at any moment, so he had to catch someone. Even if he really fired a shot, having someone take the bullet for him would be better. When they saw Wei Yuan charging forward, the remaining three instinctively took a few steps back.
At that moment, one of them thought of a compromise and shouted loudly: "Let's cross the pond first and catch that woman!"
