Battle Erupts: One Against Five, One Punch, Heavy Injuries!

"Li Yun!"

"Young Master Wu, this kid is Li Yun!"

When Li Qin saw Li Yun appear, she immediately cried out, then helped the trembling Zhao Leyue to his feet.

Wu Yuekong's face darkened.

His eyes revealed a gaze like that of a venomous snake.

"You're Li Yun?"

"It seems I truly underestimated you. Not only did you have the nerve to ambush Zhao Leyue, you even had the nerve to walk into these woods. Impressive indeed!"

"If my guess is correct, that night, you also relied on an ambush to kill He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu, didn't you?"

Li Yun suddenly laughed, his smile as radiant as blooming flowers, so radiant that Wu Yuekong inexplicably felt a surge of irritation and disgust.

"Who is He Tingfeng?"

"Who is Xu Youwu?"

"I don't know them!"

Li Yun wasn't an idiot. How could he possibly admit to something like murder?

Wu Yuekong froze for a moment, inwardly cursing Li Yun for being so crafty.

He had originally intended to bait Li Yun, exploiting the rashness of youth to make him admit before everyone that he had killed He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu.

After all, he had no substantial evidence proving that Li Yun had taken out He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu.

Yet Li Yun refused to admit it and even pretended not to know them.

Damn it, was this really how a newcomer of barely over a month should act?

Then he looked at that fool Zhao Leyue, who had actually been ambushed and beaten badly by Li Yun. He suddenly realized that this Li Yun before him was not as easy to deal with as he had imagined.

"You dare act but not own up to it?"

"That night, He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu disappeared right after going to find you. You clearly ambushed and killed them. Don't even think about denying it!"

"What am I denying?"

"You went to all that trouble, sending people to block me and arranging for people to ambush me at the entrance of Rank 95 Academy, just to throw dirt on me?"

"If that's the case, then I have no interest in chatting with you anymore."

"Because I've had a good habit since I was little: I never waste words talking to idiots. It's purely a waste of breath!"

With that, Li Yun turned around directly, making as though to leave.

"Stop!"

Wu Yuekong flew into a rage on the spot.

Apart from the injured Zhao Leyue, the other five disciples from Rank 77 Courtyard rushed out at Wu Yuekong's roar and surrounded Li Yun from all sides.

"What did you just say?"

"You actually dare insult me?"

Li Yun glanced at Li Qin and the others, smiled disdainfully, then turned back toward Wu Yuekong.

"So what?"

"You idiots come looking for trouble with me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, and I'm not allowed to curse you a couple of times to vent?"

"Besides, what did I say wrong?"

"I merely stated a fact. You came running over to accuse me of murder for no reason, without any evidence at all. If that doesn't make you idiots, then what does?"

"Geniuses?"

The repeated "idiots" and "geniuses" drove Wu Yuekong into a towering rage. In all his life, no one had ever insulted him like this to his face.

"Attack!"

"Cripple this damned bastard! I refuse to believe that after doing such things, he can still stubbornly refuse to admit it. If he won't admit it, then torture him until he does!"

Since the bluff had failed, they might as well use force.

Wu Yuekong had already decided that Li Yun was the one who killed He Tingfeng and Xu Youwu. He was not afraid of picking the wrong person.

Li Qin and the others had long been unable to restrain themselves. They each revealed their Martial Skills and lunged straight at Li Yun.

"Damn it, you little bastard!"

"You're just a newcomer who's been here for a little over a month, yet you dare insult our Young Master Wu? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

They had already been deeply displeased when Li Yun had walked into the woods with that mocking expression. Now that all five attacked together, they showed no mercy whatsoever.

Relying on the fact that they had cultivated for two years longer and had all reached the Body Tempering Ninth Level, they did not take Li Yun seriously at all.

They thought killing him would be as easy as beating a stray dog to death.

But who would have expected—

Li Yun merely sneered.

"You attacked first, so don't blame me!"

As his words fell.

Li Yun stepped forward, like flying stars chasing the moon. A powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, while his tendons and bones rang in unison, producing a sound like a tiger's roar.

Tiger Subduing Fist!

The Tiger Subduing Fist at the Perfection Realm blasted forth.

It was nothing but fierce, violent, and domineering.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A fierce gale rose from nowhere within the woods, swirling with the dance of Li Yun's fist shadows.

Several dull impacts erupted.

Li Qin and the other five screamed as they flew away like tattered sacks.

After landing, all five spat out bright red blood. They lay on the ground, unable to move even a finger.

In that brief clash.

Li Yun had already relied on his domineering and ferocious fist force to heavily injure all five of Li Qin's group. They were in even worse shape than Zhao Leyue. If they were not treated in time, the five might not even live to see tomorrow.

"What..."

"How is that possible...?"

Wu Yuekong was instantly shocked by the utterly tragic scene.

Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he simply could not have believed that Li Yun could heavily injure Li Qin and the others in a direct confrontation.

This was one against five!

And every one of Li Qin's group had reached the Body Tempering Ninth Level.

Suddenly—

Wu Yuekong seemed to think of something. He abruptly turned around and shot Zhao Leyue an incomparably furious, even murderous glare.

He suddenly realized that Zhao Leyue had not told the truth.

Li Yun had not ambushed Zhao Leyue at all. Zhao Leyue had tried to ambush Li Yun and failed, only to be heavily injured by Li Yun instead. Yet this fellow had been too afraid of losing face to tell the truth.

But because Zhao Leyue had not dared to speak honestly, they had all misjudged Li Yun, directly resulting in Li Qin and the other five being severely injured.

"You foolish bastard, I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Wu Yuekong viciously glared at Zhao Leyue, then turned and lunged at Li Yun.

He stepped into the air, swift as a gray eagle.

The dagger in his hand slashed through the air, instantly producing more than ten afterimages.

Carrying an icy edge, it swiftly enveloped Li Yun.

Li Yun's pupils contracted sharply. He discovered that this Zhao Leyue was far stronger than Zhao Leyue and Li Qin's group. His opponent was not in the Body Tempering Realm at all, but a Force Refining Realm expert who had already cultivated Internal Force.

However, Li Yun was not afraid.

A fight did not depend solely on cultivation. It also required Martial Skills!

And in terms of Martial Skills, he happened to possess ample confidence.

With a move of the Soaring Star Steps, Li Yun's body strangely slid three feet backward, swiftly escaping the dagger's edge. Then he sprang into the air, his ten fingers hooked like claws, and charged proactively at Wu Yuekong.

His Eagle Claw Technique at the Perfection Realm likewise tore out more than ten incomparably sharp afterimages.

In that brief instant.

His sharp fingers collided fiercely with Wu Yuekong's dagger dozens of times, and the clang of metal striking metal rang out beyond the woods.

Just then.

Not far outside the woods, several Discipline Hall Patrol members passed by. Their footsteps halted in perfect unison as several gazes swept toward the small forest at once, their eyes incomparably sharp!
