The situation was perilous.
Yang Fan was facing two adversaries alone, and the corridor behind him was a dead end, leaving no space for maneuvering.
But Yang Fan's mindset was steady.
Even somewhat composed.
After the fight he just had, he had a pretty good grasp of the situation.
These fellows, even armed with knives, weren't necessarily stronger than him.
It's just that these guys lived by the blade, engaging in illegal activities, their strikes were harsher and bolder than his. Other than that, these two guys didn't have much advantage over him.
After retreating a couple of steps, Yang Fan didn't rush to attack again but pretended to be terrified and fearful, showing weakness to provoke the two men into attacking first.
The two opponents, one on his left and one on his right, blocked all his escape routes, making it unwise for him to attack first.
They would expose more flaws and opportunities by attacking first.
