Act Under Cover of Darkness

"What on earth is going on with you?!"

Hei Jinbao unleashed a punch, its force undiminished, instantly collapsing a three-story building.

Such an exaggerated performance, however, did not make him arrogant.

Because he knew very well that his attack had been futile once again.

"I don't understand..." Lou Yunyi, who was also attacking Lu Bai, frowned deeply.

Although they hadn't been fighting for long, Lou Yunyi had been amazed by Lu Bai's performance more than once.

He couldn't understand how Lu Bai had dodged the attack at all. The young man's performance was too mysterious and unpredictable, as if he could foresee the future.

On several occasions, in particular, he felt the hairs on his fist almost touch Lu Bai, yet he still abruptly lost his grip.

Lu Bai's counterattack was incredibly sharp, as if there was no way to avoid it.

"Wild Tiger, you and I will be on the left and right respectively."

Hei Jinbao, who came to help, forced Lu Bai back, preventing Lou Yunyi from taking another punch.

"Didn't you know this young man before? What's his story?"

Lou Yunyi's tone was filled with barely concealed anger; he desperately wanted to know what had happened.

Lu Bai's speed wasn't particularly fast, and his attack power was only barely at the level of Grandmaster martial artist, he just couldn't regain control of the battle.

This awkward feeling was driving him crazy.

The petty thugs watching the fight from the nooks and crannies of the streets and alleys were all dumbfounded, as if they had all been turned into clay puppets.

Is this even human?

Everyone knows that the Dao Master rose to power because of his unparalleled and domineering strength.

But it's no exaggeration to say that even the Dao Master back then, when facing both Hei Jinbao and Lou Yunyi at the same time, couldn't have performed as if Lu Bai was toying with them.

Even the harmless and kind smile on Lu Bai's face didn't change in the slightest, which made people suspect that he might not be serious yet.

Under these circumstances, it's hard to say that the two middle-aged Grandmaster facing Lu Bai felt no pressure.

Of course, Lu Bai's own family knew about his situation.

He only appeared relaxed; in reality, there were many dangerous situations ahead.

After all, due to limited time, he didn't have time to temper his entire body with Internal Energy. Even if he distributed his Internal Energy evenly around his body to amplify it, his physical fitness was still far inferior to that of a true Grandmaster martial artist.

He was only managing to hold his own against these two Grandmaster- level martial artists by using [Flash Time], and there were several times when he almost couldn't react in time.

It's important to know that, apart from his right hand, the rest of his body is pretty much the same as an ordinary person's.

If hit, you can immediately be forced to disembark.

Considering this, even if [Flash Time] exists, the risk is indeed quite high.

Once again, Lu Bai dodged Lou Yunyi's attack while time seemed to stand still, and then delivered a punch to Lou's waist.

After smashing Lou Yunyi away, Lu Bai immediately took a step back from Hei Jinbao.

Hei Jinbao didn't rush forward immediately, but instead stayed put and waited for Lou Yunyi to return.

Lu Bai adjusted his breathing slightly and abruptly asked, "I'd like to ask, when you eat cola, do you eat it with the shell or without it?"

Hei Jinbao: "What?"

Lou Yunyi: "..."

Before the two middle-aged Grandmaster could figure out what this meant, Lu Bai's smile became even brighter.

"If you don't tell me, I'll choose for you myself."

Before the words were finished,

Swish~

An endless darkness rapidly spread from where Lu Bai was, like a raging flood, like a vast ocean sweeping across the sky.

In an instant, all the light vanished in Hei Jinbao and Lou Yunyi's eyes, leaving only a deep, dark void.

Such darkness was so overwhelming that nothing could stop it, and even the battle on Dao Zhengmu's side had to be halted.

The darkness, capable of swallowing all light, spread for several kilometers, quickly enveloping the entire Zhonglouba area.

After a brief silence, thousands of thugs came to their senses and erupted into a cacophony of voices.

The streets and alleys were in complete chaos, with many people frantically searching in the dark, trying to escape this unsettlingly dark place.

Almost in the blink of an eye, screams began to rise and fall.

It's hard not to panic in the dark.

If someone is unlucky enough to fall, they might be stepped on by a foot that seems to come out of nowhere, tripping over the person in the process and quickly leading to a large-scale stampede.

Most importantly, in such an environment, even if you are calm enough, it won't help.

Because panic spreads far more efficiently than rational thinking.

Even a single, piercing scream would immediately trigger panic and unease among the others.

"You did use that trick after all."

Hei Jinbao stood cautiously in place, deliberately closing his eyes, trying to use his hearing and touch to judge Lu Bai's movements.

When he first witnessed Lu Bai's "darkness descending," he pondered how he should deal with it if he were to fall victim to it.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he could only stand still, like most people, when shrouded in the darkness of [Ink Dye].

Moreover, the surrounding noise was far too much, making it difficult to perceive accurately.

Even someone as prepared as Hei Jinbao couldn't find a good solution, Lou Yunyi's initial reaction was only going to be even worse.

Lu Bai silently circled behind Lou Yunyi, and for the sake of caution, he even activated [Flash Time].

If someone could see through the darkness, they would notice a fist smashing out from it.

This punch was powerful and extremely violent.

Bang!

A sound like metal clashing rang out.

Lou Yunyi felt as if he had been hit on the back of the head with a sledgehammer; his ears were ringing, and he felt so dizzy that he almost vomited.

This was just the beginning of the sensation. The impact surged from the back of Lou Yunyi's head, causing his blood to rush and his head to tilt forward uncontrollably, plunging head into the ground.

[Ink Dye] plus [Flash Time] ensures that none of Lu Bai's attack targets can react in advance.

If his attack is strong enough to break through the defense, then it will be fatal to the target.

"No... I... I give up, I'm willing... The Arid Tiger Hall is willing to support you as its Spokesperson."

Lou Yunyi, whose head had been shoved into the ground by Lu Bai, was now truly feeling the breath of death and could no longer maintain his tough stance.

However, regardless of the means used, being able to single-handedly confront the leaders of two major forces qualifies one as the Spokesperson of Chikan Bay.

[Ink Dye] only interferes with vision, but does not affect hearing.

Therefore, Hei Jinbao heard Lou Yunyi's pleas for mercy clearly.

He still wanted to fight, after all, Lu Bai's abilities were mysterious and strange, and he hadn't shown much power that was convincing enough to convince people.

"Sensible."

Lu Bai patted Lou Yunyi's head and looked in Hei Jinbao's direction. "And what about you?"
