Chapter 541: Turn Defeat into Victory?
Feng Qi simply couldn’t believe it. Just now, he had pushed Leng Hao to the brink of no escape, yet Leng Hao had suddenly lashed out, rendering him completely unable to respond. Keep in mind, he was an AA-level expert, while Leng Hao was merely at the peak of A-level. How... how is this possible? Leng Hao had clearly been at the end of his rope, so how could he suddenly become so powerful!
"Huh?" Zeng Xiaolong, seeing that Feng Qi had been forced back by Leng Hao twice, was also extremely astonished. Hadn’t Leng Hao just been at the point of being unable to fight back? How could he suddenly become so ferocious, especially since Feng Qi was a genuine AA-level expert? How could Feng Qi possibly get pushed back twice by Leng Hao? What... what on earth was going on?
Zeng Xiaolong was quite baffled by this sudden change, as Leng Hao’s current performance was definitely not normal. But now, while Leng Hao and Feng Qi were fighting, no one else was giving instructions. How was Leng Hao doing it? Zeng Xiaolong couldn’t figure it out no matter how much he pondered, and in the end, he just let it be.
However, Zeng Xiaolong absolutely believed in Feng Qi’s skills. Although Feng Qi was not the most powerful under his command, he was certainly not someone Leng Hao could handle. It was just that Leng Hao had suddenly exerted his might, catching Feng Qi off guard. Once Feng Qi adapted, he would surely deal with Leng Hao as he had originally planned. Therefore, Sister Leng Mei and her brother wouldn’t face any accidents today!
What?
Impossible!
How could Feng Qi be hit!
...
Zeng Xiaolong’s subordinates, seeing the highly respected Feng Qi pushed back by Leng Hao twice, all gaped in disbelief at the events unfolding before their eyes. How could this be possible, when Feng Qi was an AA-level expert? Just moments ago, he had Leng Hao with his back against the wall, so how could such a reversal suddenly happen!
Nevertheless, no one was worried that Feng Qi could be defeated by Leng Hao. In their eyes, Leng Hao, an A-level expert, could in no way be a match for Feng Qi. It was merely that Feng Qi had underestimated his opponent just now and had fallen into Leng Hao’s trap. Once Feng Qi got serious, Leng Hao certainly wouldn’t be his match. Everyone firmly believed this, and with that in mind, they were all eager to see how Feng Qi would beat Leng Hao down for good!
"..." Yuan Kun was also stunned by this sudden turn of events and thought to himself that although Leng Hao was his fellow disciple, he knew Leng Hao very well and had never seen him use such moves before. What... what was going on? Could his younger disciple brother have hidden techniques that he didn’t know about?
Yuan Kun thought back and forth but couldn’t understand why the situation had unfolded as it had. However, seeing that Leng Hao was already sweating profusely, it was clear that Leng Hao’s strength was nearly spent. If Feng Qi were just a bit more cautious, as long as he could hold on a little longer, even if his disciple brother suddenly burst out, he wouldn’t stand a chance against Feng Qi.
With this realization, Yuan Kun’s heart settled a bit. He truly did not want any accidents to occur. Tonight’s carefully arranged drinking contest had been disrupted by Lin Feng, a man who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. If luring Zeng Xiaolong over turned out to be unsuccessful, then all the plans for the evening would have been for naught. Yuan Kun definitely didn’t want that to happen.
Leng Mei, seeing Leng Hao’s sudden outburst and managing to push back Feng Qi twice even seeming to have injured him a bit, immediately felt a bit relieved. She hadn’t expected her brother to suddenly explode with such formidable power. Just moments before, she had watched the two exchange blows with trepidation, not expecting her brother to have a backup move. Now she finally understood why Lin Feng wasn’t worried. Lin Feng had known all along that her brother hadn’t put forward his full effort, but... but how did Lin Feng know? He and her brother barely knew each other; how could he be so sure that her brother would be okay?
Thinking this, Leng Mei looked towards Lin Feng, unable to comprehend how he could have known the tide would turn...
But in fact, these thoughts flashed through the minds of those present in an instant. In Leng Hao’s mind, that all too familiar voice suddenly appeared again. Upon hearing the command, Leng Hao promptly followed the instruction.
"Straight Punch, aim midway up to hit the chin, fake move, quickly pull back, then kick his right leg hard."
"Bang!"
Leng Hao did as the voice had instructed, and managed to withdraw his hand just as Feng Qi was about to capture it. However, his feet came in with a real move, fiercely kicking Feng Qi and sending him staggering a couple of steps to the left.
"Advance two steps, continue to target his lower body with feints, the real strike is a heavy straight punch to the midsection, use as much strength as you have!"
"Bang!"
As expected, Feng Qi was once again struck by Leng Hao, but this time the situation was far worse than before. The heavy punch from Leng Hao had caused internal injuries to Feng Qi. Feng Qi was now immensely frustrated. Leng Hao seemed to have completely transformed into a different person; every move and gesture perfectly countered his own, as if Leng Hao could predict his thoughts in advance. How... how could such a thing happen, as if Leng Hao was possessed?
Nonetheless, Leng Hao didn’t stop attacking. On the contrary, he charged forward with a series of rapid assaults, a mix of feints and solid blows that gave Feng Qi a massive headache, leaving him no choice but to continuously defend himself, though the reality was totally beyond his expectations...
"Kick his left leg, follow up and continue with kicks!"
"Bang!"
"At eleven o’clock, that’s his way out, follow up with a left hook."
"Bang!"
"Take two steps forward, continue with the left hook!"
"Bang!"
"Feint twice to the lower body, then go for the kill with real kicks!"
"Bang bang!"
...
Leng Hao, hearing the voice constantly appearing in his mind, completely followed the commands of that voice and attacked ferociously. With each strike, he inflicted light or severe wounds on Feng Qi, which made Leng Hao very pleased. The more he fought, the more exhilarating it became. He gradually entered a state of self-forgetting, with only one thought in his head, to do as the voice said...
Ten minutes later...
When the voice stopped appearing, Leng Hao finally came back to his senses and looked at Feng Qi who lay on the ground, unable to get up. Surprise filled his heart. He really hadn’t expected to defeat an AA-level master, but Feng Qi was down, which meant it was all real.
Yes, that voice, that voice! Without it, he couldn’t possibly have defeated the AA-level master Feng Qi. Whose voice was echoing in his mind? Why did it sound so familiar?
Leng Hao was now very curious. Who had transmitted that voice to him? And he could clearly sense that the owner of the voice was definitely a super expert, who had merely by watching, found Feng Qi’s weaknesses and directed him to defeat Feng Qi. This wasn’t something an ordinary person could do. No matter how fast their moves were, the voice had spoken in advance, predicting Feng Qi’s movements perfectly. So many times, it seemed as if he was striking empty air, but somehow Feng Qi collided with the blows. Such anticipatory skills were astonishing!
Thinking about this, Leng Hao looked around the room. He first ruled out the eldest senior brother because he was too familiar with his voice; it couldn’t be him. He also ruled out Sister Leng Mei, because the mysterious voice was male, not female. That left only Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn’t talk much, and the voice did sound a bit like his. But no matter how he thought about it, Leng Hao just couldn’t believe that Lin Feng was such a super expert. If Lin Feng were such an expert, why hadn’t he stepped forward to protect Sister Leng Mei just now?
So what was going on? Whose voice was it? Leng Hao was baffled, unable to figure out who had helped him defeat Feng Qi.
"..." Zeng Xiaolong, who had been arrogantly puffing on his cigar and watching the battle between Feng Qi and Leng Hao, initially thought Feng Qi was employing some strategy, acting weak before taking down Leng Hao. But he couldn’t have imagined that an AA-level fighter like Feng Qi would be inexplicably dominated by Leng Hao and, in the end... actually be brought down by him. How could this be happening? Wasn’t Leng Hao just an A-level fighter? How could he possibly defeat the AA-level master Feng Qi? This was too incredible!
He had never heard of such a thing before—an A-level fighter defeating an AA-level one, and especially in the way it happened today, was even more bizarre. At first, Leng Hao was being thoroughly suppressed by Feng Qi. Suddenly, Leng Hao seemed to transform, striking Feng Qi’s weak points as if he were suddenly an expert. This was too strange. What on earth had happened to Leng Hao? Could it be that he had indeed held back a secret move just now?
Impossible! Impossible!
If that were the case, how could Leng Hao have been pushed to such a sorry state by Feng Qi at the beginning? So what was going on? How had he defeated Feng Qi? After all, Feng Qi was known to easily overcome A-level fighters, so why did he lose today...
Feng Qi defeated?
How could that be possible!
How could Brother Qi possibly lose!
...
Zeng Xiaolong’s men, seeing Feng Qi brought down by Leng Hao, couldn’t believe what they were witnessing. It just didn’t seem possible. Feng Qi was an AA-level master—it was unthinkable for a group of them together to have no chance against him, let alone for Leng Hao, just an A-level fighter, to defeat Brother Qi. This was simply impossible!
Yet, there lay Feng Qi, defeated on the ground, forcing them to confront the unbelievable truth. Was Leng Hao really an A-level fighter anymore, or had he somehow broken through to AA level? But that didn’t make sense. If Leng Hao was an AA-level fighter, how could they not know, and how could he have been initially dominated by Feng Qi only to dramatically turn the tables and defeat him!
This... what exactly was going on? How could an A-level fighter defeat an AA-level master, this...
