Lou Huiying rested the baseball bat on her shoulder, touched the thin red mark on her neck, and clicked her tongue.
"Still hurts."
After putting on this headpiece, it had been a long time since she had last felt pain.
Having dealt with Duan Kaiping, Lou Huiying was feeling pleased with herself and was about to head back to the restaurant when she spotted a bespectacled youth walking toward her from not far away at an unhurried pace.
For some reason, though he was clearly an utterly ordinary-looking youth with nothing remarkable about him, Lou Huiying inexplicably felt her scalp tingle. Her steps halted of their own accord.
She watched as the youth walked up to her and adjusted the glasses on his nose. The afternoon sunlight reflected off the lenses, obscuring his eyes, but she knew he was looking at her.
"Kid, were you behind what happened just now?"
Lou Huiying narrowed her eyes and asked.
Xue Jing nodded and smiled. "That's right. It was me."
Lou Huiying immediately became wary. "You brought a gun?"
A bloody hole had suddenly exploded in Duan Kaiping's thigh just now. That kind of power had clearly been caused by a firearm's bullet.
She did not know whether her current self could withstand bullets, but she had no intention of finding out.
"A gun... you could say that." Xue Jing smiled.
"But don't worry. I won't use a 'gun' against you."
Xue Jing took off his jacket and tossed it to the ground. He rolled his neck, stretched his limbs, and began warming up as though no one else were around.
After watching her fight with Duan Kaiping, Xue Jing had already gained a rough understanding of her combat ability.
She was very strong and tough, but her fighting style was extremely crude. It was obvious she had never received any combat training.
—She was the perfect live punching bag.
This was a great opportunity to practice his fighting style, so Xue Jing decided on the spot not to take off his glasses or win through his looks. Instead, he would... defeat her head-on.
After actively activating Twin Life, he now possessed Twin Birth Speed and Twin Birth Power. His hands had been itching for a fight.
Of course, if things truly went wrong, he would take off his glasses midway and activate that "hard crowd-control" skill.
Hearing his words and seeing his movements, Lou Huiying understood what he meant.
"You? Take me on? With what?"
Lou Huiying's eyes brimmed with scorn and mockery.
Hmm... but looking more closely, although this youth wore glasses and she could not see his face clearly, he had such a good body that he probably was not bad-looking either. It would not hurt to play with him.
"Then let's give it a try. Let big sister see whether your fists are as hard as that little mouth of yours..."
Lou Huiying licked her lips.
Xue Jing said nothing further. He took a deep breath and activated the Breathing Method, causing force to surge through his body. His blood began circulating faster, and his Body Temperature gradually rose.
He visualized a true dragon with wings on its back within his mind, and a faint "dragon aura" began to diffuse from his body.
Lou Huiying frowned, sensing that something was off.
Could this youth... actually be very strong? "Who exactly are you!?"
Lou Huiying demanded.
Xue Jing thought for a moment, then smiled. "You can call me... Brawler."
The moment he finished speaking, Xue Jing immediately activated Twin Birth Speed and charged toward Lou Huiying.
His speed was beyond all reason, as though someone had pressed fast-forward. It carried a certain first-encounter advantage, and almost no one could react to it.
Naturally, Lou Huiying was no exception. She had never systematically studied combat, and her vigilance was severely lacking. Faced with Xue Jing's lightning-fast approach, she failed to react at all.
Bang!
His fist tore through the air, wrapped in force, and slammed viciously into Lou Huiying's chin.
Her upper body was knocked into a violent backward arch, but she somehow did not fall.
From the sensation of impact, Xue Jing understood just how tough this woman was. His gaze sharpened as he activated Twin Birth Power and followed up with a whipping kick aimed at Lou Huiying's waist.
That blow could have bent even a steel bar. Lou Huiying was sent flying more than three meters, crashing into a concrete wall and spiderwebbing it with cracks.
Having seized the initiative, Xue Jing pressed his advantage at once. He activated Twin Birth Speed again to close in on Lou Huiying, then unleashed a relentless barrage of punches at her face with both hands.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Amid the dull sounds of heavy impacts, her head sank slightly into the wall from the first punch.
The second drove it deeper.
Then countless more punches kept driving her head into the wall until it was embedded within it. Cracks continued to spread across the entire concrete wall from the hole where her head was lodged.
Crash...
At last, the wall could no longer withstand the unceasing heavy blows. It completely collapsed into countless chunks of stone, burying Lou Huiying beneath them.
Xue Jing let out a light breath and looked at his slightly reddened fists. He clicked his tongue. "So hard..."
The surrounding residents, along with Duan Kaiping's dozen or so lackeys, all stood with their mouths agape as they stared at the bespectacled youth, upright as a towering pine.
"Are they filming a movie?"
"Holy shit, he smashed the wall too. Sister Lou didn't get smashed to pieces with it, did she?"
"Hiss... that guy's brutal. Even so, she's still a woman. How could he hit her that hard?"
"A woman scorned, Intentional Blast Fist!"
"Who the hell is that guy? Sister Lou took down even Duan Kaiping with one swing of her bat, yet he's completely suppressing her?"
A slender arm suddenly emerged from the pile of rubble.
Crash...
Lou Huiying slowly sat up, gravel and dust continuously falling from her body.
She had taken countless lethal heavy blows directly to the face, yet aside from some bruising, her face showed no serious damage at all.
"Kid... you've really fucking pissed me off!"
Lou Huiying ground her teeth, enunciating every word.
The crown carved with black flowers atop her head faintly emitted streams of black air that flowed into her body. While strengthening her flesh, they also further amplified the malice in her heart.
Xue Jing watched her with a solemn expression, but excitement rose within him.
This is what fighting is! Hell yeah!
Lou Huiying suddenly sprang to her feet and stomped down hard, leaving a cracked imprint in the concrete ground as she charged toward Xue Jing.
Though her movements lacked all technique, her explosive leg strength still made her incredibly fast. She reached out for Xue Jing.
Almost there. She was about to catch him.
Lou Huiying stretched her mouth into an exaggerated grin, drool streaming down her chin.
As long as she caught him, she swore she would tear this youth apart alive! Yet just as she was about to grab Xue Jing, he merely stepped backward, and her hand grasped at empty air.
Then Xue Jing raised a hand and grabbed her long golden hair.
He yanked down hard! As Lou Huiying's head was pulled downward, Xue Jing activated Twin Birth Power and drove his knee viciously upward, his knee sinking directly into her face.
Her head, which had just dropped, was instantly launched back up. Even Lou Huiying could not help crying out in pain after such a heavy strike, blood pouring from her nose.
Yet the fury in her heart only grew stronger. With a twist of her waist, she forcibly stopped her backward momentum, spun around, and grabbed Xue Jing by the wrist.
But before she could do anything else, Xue Jing's other hand had already reached before her eyes. He curled his fingers and flicked.
"Aaaahhh!!"
Force surged forth, concentrated at his fingertip. That finger strike, powerful enough to kill, struck her soft eyeball. Not even Lou Huiying could endure such agonizing pain. She hurriedly released Xue Jing's hand, covered her eye, and screamed miserably.
Li Qi's teachings surfaced in Xue Jing's mind.
"Call it despicable or vicious if you like. As long as it helps you win, any move is fair game. Only the one left standing has the right to speak!"
Xue Jing's gaze sharpened. Without hesitation, he unleashed a Spartan Front Kick at Lou Huiying's lower abdomen.
It was not only a man's groin that was a major weakness. A woman's was as well!...
