The two sides fought fiercely together. At first, Tang Xiaoquan could still rely on his outstanding reaction skills honed through "life and death trials" to deal with the opponent.

But two fists are ultimately hard to fight against four hands, especially as he has never received any professional combat training. Over time, his disadvantage gradually became apparent.

The initially decent defense began to show signs of fatigue. Eventually, after being hit in the face by the enemy's fierce hook, his slender figure became a "sandbag" swaying in the air.

Face, nose, hand, abdomen, leg, hip, back — all parts of Tang Xiaoquan were consecutively attacked. Meanwhile, the opponent's attack became sharper and more arrogant.

This left Tang Xiaoquan able to attend to the front but unable to care for the back, and attend to the left but unable to care for the right.

Fortunately, these people were not particularly agile and had long suffered from "malnutrition," so their attack speed and strength were somewhat diminished.

For a time, Tang Xiaoquan could still withstand it, but this situation changed rapidly as his eyebrow broke open.

The constantly seeping blood severely disrupted his vision. What was once a clearly visible figure now became blurring shadows.

Finally, caught off guard, a short man delivered a side kick with full force to his abdomen. The burning pain immediately caused Tang Xiaoquan to retreat several steps, only stopping when Wei Yang supported him from behind, preventing him from collapsing to the ground.

"Xiao Tang~" Wei Yang exclaimed in shock, completely losing her composure. Her heart raced, and her delicate eyebrows knitted together, bereft of the previous calm and poise: "How, how are you? Don't, don't fight anymore! There are so many of them! You, you should leave quickly!"

By the end of her words, Wei Yang was almost sobbing.

But...

Slowly turning his head, Tang Xiaoquan forced a smile, his swollen lips trembling. He uttered words that Wei Yang would never forget:

"Leave!? Haha, how could I leave? If I leave, who will protect you then!"

After saying this, Tang Xiaoquan abruptly turned his head, his eyes bursting with bright light, mixed with blood, chilling to behold.

Intimidated by Tang Xiaoquan's imposing aura, the five short men simultaneously took a few steps back.

It was the first time they had seen such a terrifying look, as if intending to devour them alive.

Yet even so, they underestimated something, for those eking out an existence under high walls could never know that people with such looks had been tested through blood and fire in life and death battles, far from the soft targets they bullied before.

In other words, when this gaze appeared, it meant Tang Xiaoquan was already prepared to fight to the death!

This woman will be protected by me!

The man before her became exceptionally towering, and a warm flow surged through Wei Yang's heart.

Without any pre-battle declarations, Tang Xiaoquan stomped the ground heavily, then dashed out like a tiger descending a mountain, targeting the short man in front of him.

Undoubtedly, Tang Xiaoquan's strike was with the mindset of gambling everything against all odds. He knew very well in his heart that he couldn't possibly overpower the five before him.

So rather than wasting energy and being beaten passively, he might as well grab one and beat him to death.

In this way, even if he went down, he could take someone with him.

Watching Tang Xiaoquan suddenly charge forward, the short man was instantly dumbfounded. He had never seen such a fearless individual.

Clearly, the opponent had already taken so many blows from them, clearly on the verge of collapsing to the ground.

But in mere seconds, the opponent revived like a maniac injected with adrenaline, and even more terrifying than before!!

Tang Xiaoquan gave the short man no chance to react. Taking advantage of the latter's momentary daze from his imposing aura, he leaped forward, and the two of them crashed to the ground together.

Once on the ground, Tang Xiaoquan didn't hesitate, hammering his fists down like raindrops onto the short man's face.

The short man screamed wildly, his howls more pitiful than a pig being slaughtered.

"Damn it, this kid's gone mad! What the hell are you all standing around for? Quickly get him off me! Hurry!"

The other four comrades, awakening from their stupor after hearing the short man's cries, gradually returned to their senses from the shock.

Without hesitating, they quickly grabbed Tang Xiaoquan's neck and arms, all exerting force to pull him away from the short man's body.

Tang Xiaoquan was now seeing red. The short man's repeated vile mocking words constantly stimulated his brain, leaving no trace of reason and calmness. Killing this beast in front of him was his only thought!!

But reality is cruel. No matter how wild Tang Xiaoquan got, he couldn't possibly overcome the pulling of four able-bodied youths. Shortly, he was forcibly dragged away from the short man's body.

Rising again, the short man's gaze turned grim.

"Damn it, trash!" He spat, red blood instantly staining the ground. The short man stepped forward angrily. Once he reached Tang Xiaoquan's face, he coldly said: "Damn kid, you've got some nerve! You dare provoke us! Playing hero, right? Fine! I'll let you have your wish today!"

"Brothers, take this punk to the tent, so the soldiers don't see."

"No!" Upon hearing the short man's orders, Wei Yang rushed to stand in front of Tang Xiaoquan, selflessly shielding him behind her.

However, this move only further provoked the short man's sensitive nerves.

The short man's eyebrows twitched twice as he glanced over Wei Yang's alluring figure, tauntingly saying: "Oh my, you two are so in love, huh! But sister, don't you think it's a waste to be with such a useless man? How about... hahaha!"

With a coquettish laugh, the short man's constantly rubbing hands caused Wei Yang to involuntarily step back.

"You... you should leave! They won't dare do anything to me!"

Tang Xiaoquan struggled to stand, raising a hand to push Wei Yang aside, but stubborn Wei Yang remained unmoved.

"No!"

Without further words, the single word "No" conveyed Wei Yang's determination.

Witnessing this scene, the short man was overwhelmed with jealousy, his cold eyes growing even harsher.

"Humph, haha! Alright! You damned woman! You're so protective of this kid, fine! I'll grant your wish!"

After speaking, the short man exchanged a look with his comrades behind him. They immediately understood, chuckled twice, and then walked slowly towards Tang Wei and Wei Yang.
