Chapter 706: Bang, Crack!
"You two better not refuse to drink a toast only to drink a forfeit."
"Get lost, right now, or we’re really going to start swinging!"
"Shit, what are you still doing here? Didn’t you hear what my Boss said?"
...
At this point, Yang Guo’s bodyguards were almost beside themselves with rage. They were indeed frustrated, wondering how they had stumbled into this situation. The two, old and young, appeared to be just ordinary people. But now, if these two failed to give a clear response or leave, the bodyguards would truly become furious and would definitely rush forward to slash them both.
"Young Master Leng Hao, did you hear that? Leave the rest to you, just make sure Yang Guo doesn’t die," Zhu Tao said without paying any attention to the others after hearing Yang Guo reveal his identity. He knew they had found the right target. He finally understood why Lin Feng had sent him here with Xiao Hao. None of those present were of any interest to him to fight, much less Lin Feng. Now it seemed entirely appropriate to let Leng Hao handle it. With Leng Hao stepping up, dealing with these people would be enough, and there was no need for him to get involved.
"Old Zhu, you just watch," Leng Hao said, unable to contain himself any longer upon hearing Old Zhu’s remark. His figure blurred as he charged toward the bodyguards.
"You motherfucker, looking for death!"
"Big talker!"
"Brothers, chop him down!"
...
Upon hearing this, Yang Guo’s bodyguards immediately knew these two were troublemakers, and they burned with rage. They thought to themselves that this old and young duo really didn’t know whether they were coming or going, daring to utter such words as if they, the bodyguards, were thin air. How could they tolerate this? They were all retired special forces soldiers, capable of fighting a crowd single-handedly on a normal day, and in front of them, even an A-rank fighter was no match.
In their view, this old and young duo was decidedly on a suicide mission. The young man didn’t even look twenty; how could he possibly stand a chance against them? When they saw Leng Hao charging at them, they didn’t hesitate to draw their weapons and swing them at Leng Hao. With more than a dozen knives, even if the young man was extraordinarily skilled, there was no chance for him to survive. They had all killed before; thus, no one hesitated.
But as good as the plan was, what they could never have dreamed was that the outcome would surprise everyone. Their more than a dozen knives didn’t cut the enemy as they had intended; instead, he easily dodged them!
What!
How is this possible!
How could the young man dodge them all!
...
Stunned to see their knives miss, the bodyguards couldn’t believe it. How could a boy, not even 20, dodge all their battle-hardened knives? This was utterly inconceivable!
Before they had time to react, screams rang out all around them.
"Bang! Ah..."
"Bang! Ah..."
"Bang! Ah..."
...
Then, like a wolf charging into a flock of sheep, Leng Hao knocked everyone to the ground. Anyone who encountered Leng Hao’s fists and feet suffered broken bones and immediately lost the ability to move. Leng Hao, finding the noise the men made too annoying, deliberately knocked out those lying on the ground...
This... how is this possible!
Yang Guo, witnessing this scene, was also stunned. He never expected the young man before him to be so formidable. In the blink of an eye, his entire group was down. It was truly incredible!
Without his knowing, Yang Guo’s cigar dropped, and his heart began to pound. Judging by his adversary’s skills, he was certainly on par with Old Wang. Who exactly was this young man, and what was his connection with that man from before? Otherwise, how could they possibly have found this place? It seemed very likely!
But Yang Guo wasn’t worried at all, because he could see that this young man wasn’t as skilled as the one before, and besides, at his side were not just one Old Wang but also Gao Zhuang. Two AA-rank experts were more than enough to ensure this youngster’s defeat. With this thought, he felt his anxiety lessen considerably.
Similarly, Gao Zhuang and Old Wang had seen everything with their own eyes and, while shocked that a young man had reached the peak of AA level, were rational enough to know that defeating the two of them was a pipe dream. With that thought, they exchanged a glance. No longer underestimating the situation, they immediately launched an assault on Leng Hao. Their figures flashed, swift as gusts of wind, and in an instant, they were in front of Leng Hao, with punches and kicks flying toward him.
"Huff!"
"Huff!"
The punches and kicks of these two men carried the whistling sound of the wind, powerful and heavy. Before even landing on the body, the pressure of the wind could be felt, revealing the immense power behind these moves!
"Swoosh!"
Leng Hao saw both men aggressively attacking him and quickly dodged backward. As soon as the two men reached out, Leng Hao could already feel that both were AA-grade peak experts. Thus, Leng Hao didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless. He hurriedly evaded their attacks. Even though one of the men was already wounded, an injured AA-grade peak expert was still extremely dangerous. If hit, he too would be severely hurt.
Leng Hao hadn’t expected that by dodging, he would lose the initiative. The two men kept pressing the attack relentlessly, quickly putting Leng Hao into disarray. It wasn’t really Leng Hao’s fault. Although he was an AA-grade peak expert himself, he still maintained the mindset of an A-grade peak expert. Plus, Leng Hao lacked real combat experience, so he quickly found himself at a disadvantage, relentlessly pursued and attacked by the two men.
"Huff!"
"Swoosh!"
"Huff!"
...
Under the fierce pressure of Old Wang and Gao Zhuang, Leng Hao could only dodge continuously. Since he was slightly faster than his opponents, he managed to avoid being hit by a hair’s breadth each time, but soon enough, sweat appeared on Leng Hao’s face—the pressure he felt was unprecedentedly intense...
Zhu Tao shook his head after observing for a moment from the sidelines. Leng Hao was still too young and lacked real combat experience. He forgot to counterattack, focusing only on dodging—the complete opposite of what should be done. No wonder the Boss wanted Zhu Tao to take Leng Hao out for some training. Seeing this, Zhu Tao couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Young Master Leng Hao, play to your strengths, and don’t just dodge without thinking of retaliating—that’s not the way to do it. Real fighting is about how to kill your opponent, not just how to evade them," Zhu Tao spoke up to remind Leng Hao, trusting that he would understand the hint. He was also not worried about Leng Hao getting into any trouble, because with him present, how could anything happen to Leng Hao?
Hearing Zhu Tao’s reminder, Leng Hao suddenly realized why he was under so much pressure. Right, he had been too preoccupied with avoiding the attacks, forgetting to retaliate. What was his advantage? It was the abundant True Qi in his body, the energy from the Ancient Exotic Jade that had been left inside him and not yet fully absorbed, always in a free state. Why not use this True Qi for attacking!
A word can awaken the dreamer, and Leng Hao quickly recognized his weakness. With that realization, Leng Hao became more alert, looking for opportunities to counterattack while dodging. He also decided on one thing: silence is golden, but when he strikes, it must inflict serious injury on the opponent.
Soon, Leng Hao found an opening. Old Wang lunged at him with a kick, while the tall and burly man was not far off, throwing a punch his way. If he dodged in the other direction, then...
Upon this thought, Leng Hao hesitated not a bit. His form flickered, dodging towards Old Wang instead of away. As Old Wang looked on in surprise, Leng Hao used one arm to block Old Wang’s leg, while a powerful punch headed straight for Old Wang’s chest.
"Huff!"
This punch, long-prepared by Leng Hao, did not need to be described in words for its power, carrying a faint sound of tearing through the air, like Lightning striking towards Old Wang. With Leng Hao’s body also charging at Old Wang, he was able to neutralize the punch from the strong man at the same time.
Old Wang had no time to think. He quickly raised his uninjured left hand to block, also attempting to retreat and allow Gao Zhuang to attack from behind Leng Hao.
But as good as the plan was, he overlooked one thing—that a young man under 20 reaching such a level couldn’t possibly be an ordinary AA-grade expert. How could Leng Hao’s long-prepared punch be so easily blocked?
"Bang! Crack!"
"Bang!"
Leng Hao’s fist inevitably landed on Old Wang’s left arm, instantly breaking it. The punch did not stop there; it continued, unstoppable, to Old Wang’s chest, sending him flying backward, blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Puh!"
"Smack!"
Flying a good six or seven meters, Old Wang hit the wall hard, passing out before he could even process what had happened.
What! How is this possible!
Yang Guo, seeing Old Wang coughing up blood and fainting from the young man’s hit, dropped his cup in shock. He couldn’t believe that such a young man could display such formidable strength. After all, Old Wang was an AA-grade expert! Even though he had been injured before, how could Leng Hao break Old Wang’s arm? It was inconceivable, impossible!
Gao Zhuang, who had been chasing Leng Hao, was also stunned by the scene. He had never anticipated that Leng Hao would knock out Old Wang, a fellow AA-grade peak expert, with a single punch, making him cough up blood and pass out. His mind reeled—wasn’t Leng Hao also an AA-grade expert? How could he have such devastating power? The mystery deepened, and Gao Zhuang discarded any remaining disdain. Before, he and Old Wang hadn’t been able to handle Leng Hao together; now, if he wasn’t careful, he might get hurt too.
