Chapter 16: Brother Snake, You and Your Men Are No Good

Brother Snake wore a ferocious expression as he commanded his subordinates, "Grab her! Grab her and wait until I'm finished enjoying myself, then I'll hand her over to you!"

In such a bloody setting, Brother Snake's command caused his men to snap out of their daze, yet they lacked any real momentum.

However, Red Hair and the other thugs still surrounded Chu Muyue in the middle, their entire bodies on high alert. It wasn't that they were truly afraid of Chu Muyue, but rather that they were being driven by the pervasive scent of blood surrounding them, causing their nerves to tighten involuntarily.

Chu Muyue watched the thugs who hesitated for a moment before rushing forward and let out a light laugh. The backpack slung over her shoulder suddenly flew through the air, striking the face of the thug leading the charge.

With a "thud," the backpack slammed heavily against the thug's face, leaving him dazed and disoriented before he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing this scene, the other rushing thugs instinctively paused their steps, not daring to move forward.

Under normal circumstances, they might have charged ahead, but the negative field generated by the bloody scene here had instilled fear in their hearts; seeing one of their own struck down, none dared to rush forward again.

Chu Muyue chuckled and turned her gaze toward Brother Snake. "Brother Snake, your subordinates are no good!"

Brother Snake's face flushed crimson with rage as he shouted furiously at his men, "You're all idiots! Can't you use all the things on the ground? It doesn't matter if you cripple them!"

Hearing Brother Snake's pointed command, all the subordinates hurriedly bent down to pick up the iron rods on the ground and swung them toward Chu Muyue.

Yet, Chu Muyue showed no fear whatsoever. Her movements remained crisp and decisive—swinging her backpack, throwing kicks; one hit and one kick per person, she knocked out and kicked away the four thugs who had rushed her.

Red Hair and the remaining men trembled as they watched their companions being beaten like that. Recalling Chu Muyue's methods, Red Hair let out a miserable scream, hurriedly dropped whatever was in his hands, and turned to run.

Brother Snake stared at the scene unfolding before him in shock, somewhat stunned. He never imagined his subordinates would be so useless, fleeing one after another.

Chu Muyue turned around with a smile and walked slowly toward Brother Snake. "Brother Snake, your subordinates have all run off!"

Coming back to his senses, Brother Snake's face twisted into a ferocious expression as he gritted his teeth. "Fine, very fine. I didn't expect you to be a trained fighter!"

"Hehehe, didn't your subordinates tell you?" Chu Muyue said jokingly. "I already gave you a chance. It's your own fault for not cherishing it, so don't blame me!"

How could Brother Snake believe the words his subordinates had said? He simply thought they were making excuses to evade responsibility.

"They're all a bunch of trash. Don't think I'm the same as them!" Brother Snake bent down to pick up a steel pipe from the ground, let out a roar, and swung it toward the top of Chu Muyue's head.

Chu Muyue threw her backpack toward Brother Snake's arm, pushed off with her feet, leaped into the air, and kicked toward his chest.

Every movement was as smooth as flowing water, giving Brother Snake no chance to react. His arm was struck by the backpack, and his chest was met with a heavy kick from Chu Muyue. He was sent reeling back four or five meters, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Brother Snake clutched his chest, coughing violently.

Chu Muyue stepped forward and planted her foot firmly on Brother Snake's chest.
