#1148 - Chapter 1148 Blackfish takes a risk
Soon, everyone was tightly surrounded.
“Scarface, that's right! Resistance will only lead to the needless death of your people. Surrender obediently, and you might just get a chance to live,” Black Fish said, cleverly remaining outside the encirclement, observing from a safe distance.
In this situation, A'Diao taking him captive in one strike carried considerable risk.
He wasn't worried about other things, only the safety of his sister after he made his move.
“A'Diao, it's time to act. If you don't, we'll lose our chance,” Scarface, the clan leader, reminded him anxiously in a low voice.
“Clan leader, if I act, I'll have to trouble you to protect my sister,” A'Diao replied.
“Alright! Don't worry, I will definitely protect her!” Scarface nodded in promise.
“Then I'll leave it to the clan leader!” A'Diao knew that this was a crucial moment to prove his worth to the clan leader, and he couldn't refuse.
For now, he could only trust that he would keep his promise and be willing to risk his life to protect his sister.
After Scarface finished speaking, he pulled the little girl into his arms.
“Brother!” The little girl didn't want to leave her brother and tried to break free.
“A'Mei, be good, don't move!” A'Diao whispered, urging her.
“...Okay!” The little girl was also sensible and immediately quieted down after hearing her brother's instruction.
A'Diao nodded, giving her a reassuring smile. Then, he suddenly drew his sword and charged towards Black Fish.
“Ya!”
A'Diao shouted loudly.
Black Fish's subordinates immediately reacted, thrusting their spears at him.
A'Diao bent down, dodging the thrust, and then grabbed the shafts of two spears with a backhand grip, pulling hard.
“Ya!”
The two men whose spears were seized didn't expect A'Diao to be so strong, and the spears slipped from their hands.
A'Diao seized the opportunity and charged in front of them.
“Bang, bang~”
Using momentum and his physical strength, he directly knocked the two men away.
A gap immediately appeared in the encirclement.
Black Fish, startled by this unexpected turn of events, hurriedly shouted:
“Stop him!”
Several surrounding subordinates immediately broke away from the encirclement and thrust at A'Diao.
But their speed was simply not enough; in the blink of an eye, A'Diao was in front of Black Fish.
“Bang~” He threw a left-handed punch.
“Ah!” Black Fish cried out as he flew backward.
A'Diao flashed forward again, appearing in front of him once more.
“Swish~”
A sword slashed across Black Fish's left arm.
A'Diao still wanted to use him as a hostage, so this strike was just a scare and not fatal.
“Ah!” Black Fish cried out in pain.
“Don't move!”
He pointed the bronze sword at Black Fish's neck, turning around to shout at the approaching subordinates.
Black Fish's subordinates, seeing their leader captured, didn't dare to move and immediately stopped.
“Get up!” A'Diao said to Black Fish.
“Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!”
Black Fish didn't cooperate, merely sitting up and nervously scooting backward.
“Swish~”
Without another word, A'Diao slashed his left arm again, shouting loudly:
“Are you getting up or not?”
“Ah! I'm getting up! I'm getting up!”
Black Fish didn't dare to resist any longer and immediately struggled to his feet.
He covered his left arm with his right hand, and trickles of blood flowed down from his arm.
Judging from the amount of blood, the wound shouldn't be too deep.
A'Diao gripped his shoulder with his left hand, holding the sword to his neck with his right, and commanded him:
“Tell them to drop their spears!”
Black Fish hesitated, his mind racing, weighing the pros and cons.
Now, besides ordering his men to lay down their weapons, he had another option: to order them to control Scarface and the other subordinates.
That way, he would have hostages in hand, and his own safety would be guaranteed to some extent.
The key now was whether he had the time.
Controlling so many people would take at least a few minutes. But for the young boy to kill him would only take a blink of an eye.
How could he buy time?
In a flash, he understood that this young boy would absolutely not dare to act. Because he still needed to use him to threaten the others.
However, not daring to kill didn't mean he couldn't injure.
Now, if he surrendered, he would definitely fall into Scarface's hands. If he risked injury to capture Scarface, he would still have a chance to survive.
The choice was clear: he had no choice but to grit his teeth and order his subordinates to continue the siege.
So he shouted loudly:
“Don't worry about me! Seize them!”
Upon hearing this, A'Diao immediately became nervous. He really didn't dare to kill him directly, so he simply slashed his thigh.
“Ah!”
“What are you waiting for? Don't worry about me, charge!” Black Fish endured the pain, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly.
“Nobody move! If anyone moves, I'll slit his throat!” A'Diao shouted loudly.
He was already anxious, gripping Black Fish's shoulder and constantly moving closer to the crowd.
