Gao Yang had used this technique to kill the first man who had wanted to kill him, but this time, it was Gao Yang who was stabbed.
However, Gao Yang was wearing a bulletproof vest, and his opponent was obviously unaware of it.
Since bulletproof vests can stop bullets, let alone a mere military spike, Gao Yang felt like he had been punched in the stomach, but in the urgency of the moment, it was as if he felt nothing.
The moment he was stabbed, he turned around, swinging the axe in a slanting motion, bringing the side of the hammerhead down hard on the head of the man who had stabbed him.
Using the axe as a hammer, when he brought his opponent down staggering with one blow, Gao Yang twisted the retrieved axe in his hands, and again hammered down fiercely on the head of the Turkish man who was falling, and with a “puff,” the Turkish man’s head burst open, splattering Gao Yang’s face with blood and white brain matter.
Wiping the disgusting stuff off his face, Gao Yang yelled and charged at another Turkish man, but just then, he saw a figure reach the Turkish man even faster than himself.
The one quicker than Gao Yang was Li Jinfang, who threw a punch but only feinted, and as the Turkish man lunged with his knife, Li Jinfang silently delivered a kick, striking directly at the Turkish man’s groin.
As the Turkish man opened his mouth wide in pain and his bayonet dropped powerlessly to the ground, he reached to cover his stricken groin, Li Jinfang did not wait for him to scream or fall, but bent down and wrapped his right arm around the Turkish man’s neck.
With the Turkish man tucked under his arm, his face full of ferocity, Li Jinfang turned his head back and forth, then pushed the man’s head with his left hand and said through clenched teeth, “You think you can compare to Huaxia people in hand-to-hand combat?
You’re not worthy.
Remember in your next life to use a gun if you have one, don’t bother with knives.”
After speaking, Li Jinfang exerted force with both his left hand and right arm, and the wretch, who was in extreme pain but could not make a sound, finally ended his suffering after a bone-chilling sound of a broken neck.
Li Jinfang had the luxury of sharing his reflections because the Turkish man he was holding was the last one still able to stand.
Cui Bo was still thinking of taking the entrenching tool off his backpack, Gao Yang had killed one with an axe, Glolov had knocked out two with the butt of his gun, but the remaining eight men were all dealt with by Li Jinfang alone.
Li Jinfang had learned the art of killing in the military, and his family’s martial art was Xingyi Fist, which, although it belongs to Neijiaquan, employs a direct and forceful approach.
The power of Xingyi Fist is fast and straightforward, with no fanciful tricks.
In a near-death situation, the essence of short-range and direct combat in Xingyi Fist was fully showcased, making Li Jinfang particularly formidable in this outnumbered scenario.
Add to that Li Jinfang’s Tan Leg, which is also highly skilled, under his hands no one could withstand more than two moves, and Li Jinfang’s strikes were aimed at vital points.
Though he used no weapons, none of the men who fell under Li Jinfang’s hands were still breathing.
In fact, what Li Jinfang said was no exaggeration.
These Turkish men were far inferior in hand-to-hand combat.
If those Turks, with their overwhelming numbers and firepower, had started with guns, it would have been Gao Yang and his companions who would have died.
But since the Turks chose hand-to-hand combat instead of a gun fight, they could only blame their bad luck for encountering Li Jinfang, the super ace fighter.
Watching the murderous Li Jinfang, both Glolov and Cui Bo were dumbstruck, and although Gao Yang knew Li Jinfang was exceptional, the fact that he killed eight men in less than a minute, and all of them ostensibly elite ex-soldiers, far exceeded Gao Yang’s wildest imagination.
Looking at the bodies on the ground, Gao Yang was stunned and said, “Damn it, Jinfang, you’re too fierce, aren’t you?
You’ve killed them all?”
The murderous Li Jinfang looked at Gao Yang incredulously and said, “Huh?
Wasn’t it you who said to finish them?
Of course, I went all out.
Did you want me just to teach them a lesson?
You should have told me earlier.
If you didn’t want me to go all out, you have to remember to tell me just to teach them a lesson.
Definitely don’t tell me to finish them off.
You know I have an occupational disease, and I strictly follow orders.”
Glolov, not understanding what Gao Yang and Li Jinfang were saying, just stared at Gao Yang and said, “My God, Gao, what sort of monster have you brought back?”
Gao Yang looked at the soldiers and the recruiting staff of mercenaries who were also shocked and said softly to Glolov, “Have we caused trouble by killing so many people?
It won’t be a problem, right?”
Glolov shook his head repeatedly and said, “No problem at all, there’s no issue.
When you fight, you must be ruthless.
We didn’t fire a single shot, so there won’t be any trouble.
Rest assured, it is quite normal for a few mercenaries to die in a conflict, and in these chaotic times and places, other than their comrades, who will stand up for them?
Now that they are all dead, we don’t need to worry about anything.”
Hearing there were no trouble, Gao Yang felt relieved.
He was only afraid of being shot by the soldiers who were pointing their guns at them.
After all, being targeted by more than two hundred guns meant that even if they were immortals, it would be difficult to escape becoming a sieve.
But since no one would stand up for these Turks, there was naturally nothing to worry about.
Gao Yang cleared his throat, walked up to the table, and said to the dumbfounded officer, “Hello, I think you understand our strength now, don’t you?
Can we join as an elite mercenary group?”
The officer nodded his head so fast, repeatedly saying, “Yes, yes, of course, you can.
You’ve opened my eyes.
I greatly admire the strength you’ve shown.
Um, what’s the name of your mercenary group, and who’s in charge?
Register and you can go in and get your uniforms.”
Gao Yang was a bit stumped.
They didn’t really have a mercenary group, let alone a name for it.
He said to the officer apologetically, in a low voice, “Please wait a moment, we’ll discuss it and come back to register.”
After forming a circle, Gao Yang said urgently, “Quick, think of a name.
We are a mercenary group now.”
When it came to naming, none of the four were good at it.
After staring at each other for a while, Cui Bo suddenly suggested, “How about the Invincible Mercenary Group?
Isn’t that name domineering?
Or we could call it Rabbit is Fierce, what do you think?”
“Beat it.”
After unceremoniously rejecting Cui Bo’s proposal, Gao Yang hurriedly said, “Quick, think of something more reliable.
Don’t come up with such a silly name that sounds so dumb at first glance.”
Glolov said with a wry smile, “I really can’t think of a name.
Just pick any name.
By the way, no matter how many of us there are, we must have a commander.
Gao, you have to be the leader, so you should come up with the name.
And remember to give yourself a nickname.
Don’t foolishly tell others your real name and have it registered.”
Gao Yang grimaced at the mention of using a nickname.
After Cui Bo asked why in puzzlement and then jeered, “Haha, Brother Yang, you’re not still called Little Lamb, are you?
That name, heh, doesn’t sound very fierce.”
Gao Yang’s name was homophonous with ‘little lamb’, so his friends gave him the nickname Little Lamb.
They didn’t call him lamb because it wouldn’t be recognizable, but Gao Yang hated the nickname Little Lamb so much that although it was what his closest friends called him, he absolutely refused to be called that by anyone else.
Ignoring Cui Bo’s teasing, Gao Yang turned to Li Jinfang and asked, “What about you?
Got a nickname?”
Li Jinfang sighed helplessly and said, “Ah, I thought I would never have to hear my nickname again.
It seems that wish won’t come true.
I might as well tell you guys.
My nickname is Toad, just like a frog.”
Watching Gao Yang and Cui Bo trying to suppress their laughter, Li Jinfang said resignedly, “If you want to laugh, go ahead.
Sigh, when I was young, someone gave me the nickname Toad, and I got into many fights over it.
But eventually, the name stuck.
When I joined the army, I thought no one knew my nickname, but during an army tournament, my two brothers called it out again.
Now it spread in the army and everyone called me Toad.
Alright, originally I accepted it, but now I’m in a foreign country and still have to be called this damn name.
What kind of world is this.”
Gao Yang patted Li Jinfang’s shoulder, laughing, “Look at your round face, big mouth, and bulging cheeks, bouncing and leaping, you perfectly fit the image of a Toad.
Alright, from now on, we brothers will call you Toad.”
The biggest problem among the four of them now was the language.
Although Cui Bo and Li Jinfang were already trying their best to learn English, if they wanted to have a conversation, Gao Yang still had to act as the interpreter.
After listening to Gao Yang’s translation, Glolov also chuckled and said to Gao Yang, “Why are all our nicknames such gentle animals?
Quite an amusing coincidence, but I suggest you change it.
The name Little Lamb, well, it’s too, too, how should I say it, I don’t want to one day have to tell people our leader is called Little Lamb!
My god, just thinking about that scene gives me goosebumps.”
Gao Yang replied with a wry smile, “It doesn’t matter what nickname I have, but who should be the leader?
I’m certainly not suitable, am I?
You and Jinfang are veteran soldiers, and I haven’t even received military training.
How can I be the leader?”
Glolov shrugged and said, “If not you, then who?
You saved my life, my family’s lives.
Who else do you think could bring the four of us together?”
After finding out what Gao Yang and Glolov were talking about, Li Jinfang said with a serious face, “Brother Yang, I consider you the one who brought me up.
Aside from you, I won’t follow anyone else.”
Cui Bo was equally nonchalant, saying, “Brother Yang, think about it.
An Old Russian’s life was saved by you, right?
My life was saved by you, wasn’t it?
And Jinfang’s life, while it’s not exactly the same situation, you can’t say it’s wrong, can you?
If he had stayed in Huaxia, Jinfang would have been caught and dealt with a long time ago.
So, if not you as our leader, then who?”
