Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 586 Fighting
"Heh... I couldn't hold back anymore!"

Li Yiduo, who was pretending to be unconscious, vaguely sensed someone approaching Li Siyu and finally opened his eyes, unable to bear it any longer.

Unexpectedly, Guan Er's ugly face was right in front of them. The two looked at each other and were both taken aback.

"Fuck!"

Startled, Li Yiduo instinctively threw a punch, hitting Guan Er squarely in the eye socket. The punch caught Guan Er off guard, causing him to scream and retreat in pain.

"You didn't faint?"

Guan Er covered his eyes, bared his teeth, and instinctively tried to run away. But when he reached the door, he regained his senses, turned around, glared at Li Yiduo, and revealed a ferocious expression.

Hearing the commotion, Li Siyu quickly opened her eyes, rolled over, and stood up, adopting a defensive stance. She then realized that the man from before wasn't actually with her; instead, he had somehow ended up in front of Li Yiduo.

"you……"

The gossipy woman was also taken aback; she hadn't expected that her methods, which she had used so many times, would backfire this time. What if the target woke up? Could she still continue?
Even the gossipy old woman's simple-minded son was startled by this sudden accident and quickly hid behind his mother.

"What a...filthy, filthy place!"

Li Yiduo quickly steadied himself, warily eyeing the three people who had surrounded him and Li Siyu. He tried to memorize the man's appearance while gritting his teeth and striking a fighting stance.

"You're awake! This is really... not the right time!"

Guan Er rubbed his eyes, feeling both pain and confusion in his right eye. But given that he had people on his hands, he quickly revealed a sinister smile.

"Pretty boy, this way you won't know what happened! Your girlfriend will still be your girlfriend. It's much better to just pretend you know nothing!"

"brute!"

Li Yiduo's eyes were filled with anger.

"Beast!"

Li Siyu shuddered and gritted her teeth.

She never imagined that such a thing could still happen in this day and age.

"Pretty boy, you're dead! Don't struggle, you're destined to die here today. You can't escape in this desolate wilderness!"

As Guan Er spoke, he slowly retreated to the gate and closed the gate, blocking the two people's escape route.

"Is it?"

Li Yiduo, however, remained unfazed. After all, he had already successfully called the police, and Boss Nie and his brothers from Baiyan City were rushing to his side. Besides, he didn't believe that a mere individual could pose a threat to him.

Not to mention, they also have a powerful fighting force hidden away, ready to deliver a fatal blow to these people at any time.

"Father! I want her!"

While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Guan Er's foolish son suddenly pulled his finger out of his mouth and excitedly pointed it at Li Siyu.

"Ok?"

Both the gossipy old woman and Guan Er were stunned.

Both of them instinctively looked down at their son's crotch. Sure enough, their son was only interested in the girl because she was pretty, nothing more.

Even so, it was still an unexpected surprise.

The son has learned to want women; it's only a matter of time before he carries on the family line.
Guan Er's eyes lit up.

"The ghost-slaying ritual really works. We can just do it a few more times! This is the first time my son has seen something he cares about, so of course we can't let him down. What if... what if things improve after spending more time together? Things have already changed compared to before."

A resolute look appeared on the ugly face of the gossipy woman. She took a step back and shoved her son forward hard.

"Son, take her from me!"

"Oh!"

Upon receiving the order, the simple-minded fat man grabbed at Li Siyu without hesitation.

"careful!"

Li Yiduo's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Li Siyu away, while he himself faced the obese man whose weight was estimated to be over 200 pounds.

"Ha! Watch out my ass! You little wench, come here right now!"

Guan Er wiped his mouth, which was covered in saliva, with his arm, and almost simultaneously, he grinned and reached out his hand towards Li Siyu.

Li Siyu was a little nervous. She took a step back, but still recalled the fighting movements from the morning exercises, and grabbed Guan Er's arm with both hands.

"Ow!"

Suddenly, a piercing roar rang out from behind them.

A dark figure appeared in the flickering candlelight, and with incredible speed, pounced on the obese man before he could react. It jumped onto the man's head and then kicked off with its feet, its fierce eyes and sharp claws lunging at Guan Er.

"Well!"

The fat man felt a sharp pain on his face, stopped in his tracks, and quickly covered his face.

Guan Er was caught off guard and didn't even see what was rushing towards him. He could only reflexively wave his hands to scare the other party away, but Lin Ge simply raised his hand and scratched down, instantly creating several deep bloody marks on Guan Er's arm.

The newly grown fingernails seemed even sharper than before. Lin Ge didn't even feel any obstruction; after landing, he saw blood continuously oozing from Guan Er's arms.

'Boom! '

Li Yiduo did not waste the excellent opportunity created by Lin Ge. He grabbed the fat man's arm and pulled him, then leaned his right foot against the fat man's unsteady and staggering steps, causing the fat man to fall heavily face down to the ground.

He was completely caught off guard and was thrown to the ground with a muffled groan, unable to get up for a long time.

On the other side, Lin Ge, having gained the upper hand, launched another attack on the target without needing Li Siyu's help.

With his astonishing jumping ability, sharp claws, and agile movements, Lin Ge quickly inflicted numerous wounds on Guan Er's body. Whenever Guan Er counterattacked, Lin Ge would nimbly leap to the side, then seize the opportunity to strike Guan Er where he was least expecting it.

Seeing that she didn't need to get involved here, Li Siyu turned her attention to the dumbfounded gossip.

After thinking for a moment, she shouted, "Don't move! We are the police, you have been arrested, don't even think about escaping! Our main force is outside, we will catch you no matter where you run, now surrender!"

"police?"

Guan Er, who was hastily dealing with Lin Ge, paused for a moment, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.

If he was still thinking about saving himself just now, after hearing Li Siyu's words, how could he not realize that the current situation was a trap? The police have already infiltrated his doorstep, so what else is there to say? What he's doing is a capital offense; if the police catch him, he'll definitely die! Since that's the case, why worry about getting hurt? He should hurry up and kill those two bastards and this cat, and then seize the time to escape and fly far away.

Thinking of this, Guan Er pushed open the door and fled without looking back.

Li Yiduo and Li Siyu breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to pursue the matter further. In any case, they had already memorized the guy's appearance and roughly knew his identity. In addition, with the recorder on Mimi's neck, they would have no chance of escaping if they did their best to find him.

Lin Ge didn't intend to chase after them; he simply stood at the doorway and quickly relaxed. Although the fight had only lasted a short time, it had left him feeling overexcited and aching all over.

They were nervous, otherwise they would never have given Guan Er a chance to escape.

"Surrender! You can't escape."

After glancing at the fat, foolish man kneeling on the ground, clutching his head and wailing, Li Yiduo looked up and stared intently at the gossipy old woman.

"Humph!"

The gossipy woman snorted coldly, her face turning ugly, and turned away, ignoring the two of them.

"Grandma, it hurts so much!"

The fat, simple-minded boy seemed not to understand the situation. He carefully got up and pitifully looked up at his mother, trying to get her attention. He had been thrown hard, and now his nose was bleeding, his mouth full of blood and snot, which made the gossipy woman feel sorry for him.

But now that the pillar of the family has run away, what can this old woman do?

Even if we have to run away, we can't abandon our silly son! Everything we've done over the years was for him. If we leave him behind, wouldn't all those things just become a joke for Guan Yu?

“I surrender! But my son is innocent. He’s a fool and doesn’t understand anything. Everything he did was on my and Guan Er’s orders.”

When the time came, the gossipy woman calmed down.

"Let's talk about this at the police station! Now stand against the wall and don't move, or don't blame me for being impolite when we get here!"

Li Yiduo cautiously retreated to the doorway, not giving the two people inside a chance to escape. He was now only annoyed that reinforcements hadn't arrived yet. Even though Baiyan City hadn't been prepared for their actions, almost several tens of minutes had passed since the warning was issued; the nearest police should have arrived by now, right?

"Don't worry, I can already hear sirens in the distance."

Lin Ge patted Li Yiduo's leg, signaling him to calm down. The situation was complicated, but not particularly dangerous. The truly troublesome person had already escaped…

Lin Ge suddenly turned around and looked towards the door.

Guan Yu, who should have already fled, suddenly charged back with great strides and menacing momentum. This time, he was carrying a short-handled axe in each hand, the dark red blades of which were enough to instill fear in anyone who looked at him.

This is... an axe that has killed people!
Lin Ge's eyes widened as he caught a whiff of unpleasant rust. Where was this stuff hidden? How come he hadn't smelled it before? Sure enough, the strong incense smell in the Jingyue Nunnery had masked some of the details.

"Die to me!"

Guan Er charged forward, brandishing his axe and hacking fiercely. Li Yiduo quickly pulled Li Siyu aside.

Guan Er missed kicking Lin Ge, but instead charged back into the house with incredible ferocity. At that moment, something astonished Li Yiduo and Lin Ge: Guan Er actually threw the axe he was holding in his left hand in front of his simple-minded son, sending dust flying on the ground with a 'bang'.

"Son, time to get to work!"

With a ferocious grin, Guan Er made up his mind to kill them all before leaving, as this was the only way he could truly escape.

The biggest difference between him and other bad guys is that this guy already has several lives on his hands. Other criminals would be afraid and back down when they see the police, but Guan Er knows that if he is caught, he will definitely die, so he is now fighting with his back against the wall and is not afraid.

"Oh!"

To Lin Ge's surprise once again, the fat fool stopped crying the moment he saw the axe. He even skillfully picked up the axe and got up from the ground, his face regaining its eager expression.

After getting the axe, this fat guy seemed like a completely different person!
He was a fool devoid of any moral compass, yet he knew what the axe was for. Or rather, he had once used the axe to kill someone who terrified him, and thus, now that he had the axe, he actually intended to attack.

Who could have predicted something like this?
Even Li Yiduo himself did not expect that a tentative undercover operation would actually lead him and Li Siyu to the murderer.

The level of threat posed by an armed killer is drastically different from that of an unarmed killer.

The only good news right now is...

I'm not fighting alone; I have a reliable cat.

"Mimi, protect Li Siyu and retreat first. Go and call everyone over. Leave these two to me!"

Li Yiduo was still somewhat uneasy, so he swallowed hard and decided to deal with the two men alone. He had also heard sirens, meaning reinforcements were at least at the entrance of Jingyue Temple and could arrive at any moment.

At this moment, all we need to do is protect ourselves and Li Siyu from getting hurt...

"die!"

Guan Er also knew that now was not the time to hesitate; the best course of action was to quickly silence him and escape. Without hesitation, he swung his axe at Li Yiduo.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge nudged Li Siyu, signaling her to run out and call for help, then lunged at Guan Er.

Li Yiduo, who was unarmed, was no match for this man.

And to think that a mere axe could hurt a cat is to underestimate the cat's agility and reaction speed.

Lingo's lunge came to an abrupt halt as if it had no momentum; the menacing axe cleaved down in front of him, but missed its target.

He was tricked by Lingo.

Taking advantage of Guan Er's momentary lapse in concentration and inability to retract his hand, Li Yiduo quickly pounced forward, grabbed Guan Er's arm with both hands, and gritted his teeth as he tried to snatch the axe from his hand.

At this moment, the fat fool also ran over wielding an axe, but surprisingly, he did not attack Li Yiduo directly. Instead, he inexplicably jogged around to find Li Yiduo's back, his eyes fixed on the back of Li Yiduo's head.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge roared, startling the fat fool. But he seemed to know only what to do after picking up the axe, so after a brief pause, he raised the axe high towards Li Yiduo's head.

"Fuck!"

Without hesitation, Lin Ge stepped on Li Yiduo's twisted body, which was being dragged by Guan Er, jumped off his back, and viciously scratched the fat fool's eyes.

At this point... in a life-or-death situation, there's no need to hold back.

In a flash, his claws struck something hard. Reflexively, Lin Ge curled his claws and scrambled again, causing blood and some unknown liquid to gush out instantly.

"Ah~~~~~~~"

The fat fool screamed, forgetting about killing, he just waved his hands to drive Lin Ge away, then quickly covered his eyes and trembled all over.

"Son...son..."

This scene terrified the gossipy woman who had climbed onto the bed to open the window. Forget about running away, she rushed to check on her son.

She even tripped and fell when she got out of bed, but she still stumbled and rushed to the fat fool and hugged him.

“Son…son, don’t scare Grandma! Are you alright? Hey! Don’t hit me, don’t move! Let me see…don’t move, my sweetie…”

The fat, idiot, who was screaming and struggling, was elbowed in the chest. The gossipy woman groaned but didn't care about herself. Her face was pale and she grabbed her son's hand in a panic, wanting to see what was wrong with his blood-covered face.

This scene even startled Li Yiduo and Guan Er, who were wrestling together. The two slowly stopped and looked up in astonishment from the ground.

"Ouch... Grandma! It hurts! It hurts so much~ I... I can't see!"

The fat, simple-minded boy, held tightly in his mother's arms, gave up struggling and only howled incessantly. However, the tears that flowed only aggravated the pain in his eye wounds, causing him to convulse in agony, making it almost impossible for the gossipy old woman to hold him.

"..."

Lin Ge landed firmly and turned his head warily to stare at Guan Er, forcing himself to ignore the fat man's miserable state.

He told himself that this fat idiot deserved to die, and why didn't he cry out in pain when he killed someone?
Judging from his actions of circling around Li Yiduo's back to slash at the back of the head, he must have been involved in at least these two murders within the last five years. How innocent were those he killed! Compared to them, what is a mere eye injury?

This is a heartless killer; whatever actions are taken to subdue him is justified.

"Go away!"

Guan Er suddenly sprang to his feet, his face turning bright red. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. At this moment, he couldn't care less about his foolish son and stupid woman. After kicking Li Yiduo aside, he pushed aside the gossipy old woman blocking his way and hurriedly ran towards the half-open window.

"Don't run!"

Li Yiduo was in pain all over, and the pain made him gasp for breath. But he really couldn't give up at this point. Even though he could hear hurried footsteps outside, he still scrambled to his feet and reached for the back of Guan Er's clothes.

"Holy crap, don't be stupid!"

Lin Ge was startled, not expecting Li Yiduo to be so reckless. The reinforcements were already at the door; even if this guy managed to escape this room, where could he possibly get away?

Seeing Guan Er turn around and swing his axe, Lin Ge quickly used his head to knock Li Yiduo away, causing him to fall to the ground.

Li Yiduo let out a muffled groan of pain, ultimately losing his best opportunity to apprehend the man.

Of course, it could also end with the arm being cut off.

"Police! Don't move!"

"Put your hands up!"

"Li Yiduo! Mimi!"

"Someone ran away? Chase them right now!"

Li Siyu led the police officers over quickly and just then saw a leg disappear through the window. When she saw Li Yiduo lying on the ground and the mother and child embracing each other, Li Siyu's expression changed drastically and she rushed over to hug Li Yiduo.

"Hiss... I'm... I'm fine..."

Li Yiduo gasped for breath, but a reassuring smile remained on his face.

Upon seeing that the approaching people were Ma Shun from Baiyan City and a group of police officers, he laboriously pointed to the window and said, "That person ran away! Catch him quickly! He's the murderer; we absolutely can't let him escape. Oh, and he was carrying the murder weapon, an axe!"

"Don't worry, he can't get away!"

Ma waved his hand, and three policemen jumped out of the window without looking back, while two other policemen left the room to try to pursue and surround the suspect from other places.
