Chapter 17 One worthless life, fight if you dare.
My wandering gaze inadvertently fell upon a patch of grass, where a thrilling life-or-death struggle was unfolding beneath the withered branches and fallen leaves.
Through the gaps in the fallen leaves, he could see an ant less than half an inch long fighting a bedbug that was several times stronger than him.
Its body is jet black and shiny, and its small size contains unparalleled courage.
He nimbly darted through the grass and resolutely charged toward the bedbug.
Despite the opponent's enormous size, standing before it like a small mountain.
Even ants show no sign of retreating; though there are millions, I will go forth.
Its small eyes gleamed with determination as it charged forward again and again, biting the bedbug's leg tightly with its tiny mandibles, trying to knock it down.
Bed bugs are incredibly strong; they can easily shake you off every time.
It was driven back time and time again, rolled on the ground a few times, and charged forward again, never giving up.
Each time it was driven back, it would quickly get up and charge at the bedbugs again. That persistence from its very bones made it rise again and fight to the death.
They kept charging forward, relentlessly attacking the bedbug's vitals, constantly wearing it down until the bedbug collapsed from exhaustion.
"Let's fight again! I'll fight you to the death too! My life is worthless, if you're not convinced, then let's fight!" Han Yi gritted his teeth. Eighteen years of pampered life had dulled his manly spirit, but today he felt overjoyed to have it back! He wept with joy!
He laughed loudly, "All living beings are but ants, so what if we are powerless?" Struggling to his feet again, Han Yi gritted his teeth, braced himself with his hands, and slowly straightened up. Then, he gently patted the dust off his Taoist robe, his movements steady and powerful.
He strode confidently toward the giant bear, each step firm and steady.
"Get out of here, you bald chicken! It's time for me to settle things with it." Han Yi said calmly, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. He tightened his grip on the stone blade and spoke indifferently as he passed the crane that had been swatted away by a single palm strike.
The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return! Facing the giant bear once more, Han Yi's heart is filled with fighting spirit, a spark igniting within him. Human strength may be insignificant, but the human heart contains boundless power. He chooses to fight this giant bear to the death; not only for this bald chicken, but also to vindicate himself after eighteen years of pampered life. Even a spoiled young master dares to draw his sword and face death, even if he ultimately falls.
Like a fearless warrior, he charged at the beast time and again, only to be knocked away each time. Each time he was knocked back, he would quickly get up and charge again. His only weapon was the stone blade, which he slammed down fiercely at the giant bear.
The relentless attacks made the giant bear increasingly agitated. In the midst of the fierce battle, Han Yi seized an opportunity. Just as the giant bear pounced, he nimbly dodged and then, with all his might, stabbed the stone blade fiercely into its eye.
Swift, accurate, and ruthless; his eyeballs burst, and bright red blood sprayed all over his face.
Having landed a successful blow, Han Yi retreated swiftly.
From a distance, blood could be seen sliding down his face, only to be licked away by his tongue as it passed the corner of his mouth.
The beast had one eye gouged out by Han Yi. Blood flowed from its eye, and it roared in pain, attacking him even more frantically.
Han Yi did not back down and continued to fight it, attacking it relentlessly with his stone blades.
It went completely mad, waving its paws and rampaging wildly, knocking the surrounding trees askew.
Han Yi continued to evade, looking for an opportunity.
My body is exhausted and I can't hold on much longer. I need to end this battle as soon as possible.
A resolute glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes. He deliberately exposed an opening to lure the giant bear into attacking.
When the giant bear gets close, Mengchong dodges and uses his speed advantage to quickly get behind it.
He leaped up, stepping on its back to quickly reach its shoulder and neck, holding a stone blade in his hand, intending to blind its other eye.
He had clearly underestimated the giant bear's intelligence. Just as he was about to succeed, his left foot was grabbed by the enormous bear paw.
Han Yi was shocked. He hadn't expected it to be so intelligent, knowing how to outsmart him. He was caught off guard by its sudden action.
The bear paw exerted its strength as it grabbed Han Yi's left leg, lifting him up and slamming him down hard.
He was thrown more than ten meters away, his body slamming hard into the ground and rolling several times before finally stopping.
The beast, having landed a successful blow, wanted to press his advantage. His entire body shot like a cannonball towards where he had landed, and he slammed his palms down on his body like hammers.
Han Yi felt as if his body was falling apart. He quickly got up and did a backflip to barely dodge its charged attack.
Enraged, its attacks became chaotic, crashing around wildly as if trying to smash Han Yi to pieces.
After suffering a setback, Han Yi was even more severely injured and dared not engage in close combat. He could only continuously pick up stones from the ground and attack the giant bear from a distance. Although the giant bear's fur was tough, it couldn't withstand the relentless attacks on its face from the stones, each carrying immense force. Having lost an eye, it had a blind spot. Under Han Yi's relentless assault, even the mighty giant bear was left with bruises and swelling on its face.
The battle had transitioned from its fiercest intensity to its final stages. Both Han Yi and the giant bear had expended excessive physical and mental energy. Neither side wanted to fight anymore, yet dared not relax their guard, keeping a close watch on each other, fearing a sneak attack from the other. The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither daring to make the first move and deliver a fatal blow. Han Yi held a slight advantage with his ranged attacks. The giant bear also sensed that the human before it was not easy to deal with. Continuing the stalemate would not only leave it at a disadvantage but also subject it to ranged attacks. It hesitated, slowly retreating, considering whether to continue this uncertain battle.
Han Yi noticed the giant bear's hesitation and seized the opportunity to intensify his attacks, relentlessly striking the bear's face with stones, causing it even greater pain. It felt unprecedented pressure from this human and finally chose to flee quickly.
Watching the beast escape, Han Yi collapsed to the ground, exhausted, feeling a surge of gratitude that he had survived. This desperate struggle had resulted in several broken ribs; the pain hadn't been felt during the fight, but now it was real.
"Damn, that hurts! I shouldn't have pushed myself so hard." Han Yi grimaced in pain, muttering under his breath. Just as he was groaning, everything went black, and he lost consciousness.
Just then, a strange stone, as if freed from the shackles of the mortal world, quietly floated out from somewhere on his body.
He acquired this strange stone by chance a year ago.
Although he didn't know exactly what it was, his intuition told him that this thing was extraordinary and might even be a cheat code, so he always treasured it and carried it with him.
