The opponent's power was unyielding, but not violently so. It was condensed strength, as if all his power had been compressed into a fist-sized point. The explosive force of the impact made Tang San's blood and qi churn.
"Good. If you can take one punch from me, you're qualified to be my opponent."
Dai Mubai shouted coldly and lunged forward again. This time, his attack was far from simple. He sprang from the ground and, in an instant, arrived above Tang San. His limbs stretched out in an unusual manner, making him seem full of openings, yet each limb moved subtly, as though countless follow-up moves lay in wait.
Tang San's expression grew extremely grave. He bent his knees slightly and turned his toes inward at the same time. His calves suddenly exerted force; his left arm circled inward from the outside while his right arm pushed outward from within, forming a very strange stance.
This strike was Dai Mubai's signature technique. No matter how his opponent defended or attacked, he had numerous ways to respond. His seemingly vulnerable movements contained profound offensive methods, and all four of his limbs could become weapons.
But just as he was about to launch his attack, an invisible force suddenly rose from below. It seemed sticky and lacked powerful impact, yet it was extraordinarily resilient. With nowhere to leverage himself in midair, Dai Mubai felt his body forcibly dragged off its original trajectory by that force, sending him falling to one side. Naturally, all his attacks lost their target.
What kind of power was this?
A flicker of surprise flashed through Dai Mubai's mind.
But his combat experience was extremely rich. He twisted his powerful waist in midair, spun horizontally once, and landed steadily on the ground.
And at that moment, Tang San attacked.
His timing was perfect—the very instant Dai Mubai's feet touched the ground, when it was hardest for him to exert force.
Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San took what appeared to be three small, fragmented steps and arrived at Dai Mubai's side. Both palms shot out together, sweeping toward Dai Mubai's shoulders.
A wicked gleam flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes. His four pupils seemed to light up at once. He exhaled sharply, shrugged his shoulders backward, and his fists struck later yet arrived first, both hooking upward toward Tang San's elbow joints.
The fierce force of his fists produced a rapid series of explosive cracks in the air, showing just how much power those two blows contained.
As his fists shot out, Dai Mubai's right leg instantly snapped upward. From such close range, he kicked directly at Tang San's chin, displaying remarkable flexibility.
Whether it was his fists or his right leg, if any one of those attacks landed, his superior attack power would immediately render Tang San unable to fight.
But would Tang San let him have his way?
Don't forget, Tang San was the one attacking.
The palms pressing toward Dai Mubai's shoulders lost their target as his shoulders drew back, but Tang San did not retract his hands. Instead, both hands swept downward at once. With a brush and a pull, that resilient force Dai Mubai had felt before appeared again. His upper arms were immediately drawn outward to either side, and his punching fists skimmed past Tang San's arms without hitting their target.
As his hands swept down, Tang San's left foot instantly stepped forward. He turned his body to the side and drove his shoulder directly into Dai Mubai's chest. That turn also let him evade Dai Mubai's raised kick at precisely the right time, as if everything had been calculated in advance.
At that moment, one of Dai Mubai's feet had landed, leaving him no room to dodge. His attack had also been brushed aside by Tang San's hands, immediately putting him at a disadvantage.
With a muffled bang, Tang San's shoulder slammed into Dai Mubai's chest. Amid the startled cries of the twin girls watching, Dai Mubai's body flew backward. His upper body arched back as he performed a backflip, flying a full five meters before landing.
Tang San did not pursue. He merely watched Dai Mubai land, knowing from their contact that he had not gained much of an advantage.
At the instant he had rammed into him, Dai Mubai's chest muscles had suddenly become as hard as iron. Though his advantage had sent Dai Mubai flying in that head-on clash, Tang San's own shoulder burned with pain as well.
Tang San looked at the unconvinced man before him, and a faint smile formed at the corner of his lips.
His hand flashed at his waist, and a streak of golden light appeared directly in Tang San's hand.
Under Ah Yin's perception, Tang San used some unknown technique to fire out one slender golden needle after another.
After throwing them, a trace of pleasure flashed through Tang San's eyes.
You want to steal a woman from me? You should take a look at who you are first.
The instant that thought ended, Dai Mubai had only just stood up when he felt waves of twisting pain erupt beneath his crotch.
It was as though something were coiling through his flesh and blood.
Dai Mubai, who had been about to release his Martial Soul, immediately turned deathly pale. Cold sweat dripped continuously from him as he clutched his crotch and rolled around on the ground, seemingly trying to ease the pain that way.
"Ahhh--------"
"Ahhh, what did you do to me?!"
"Ah, I was wrong! I feel like I'm going to be crippled! Spare me!"
Hearing the flamboyant man in front of him howl without end, Tang San's eyes remained utterly unmoved.
It was one thing for that little brother Yun Feng to compete with me, but you, an outsider, dared to act so arrogantly?
And Yun Feng had never even competed with him. Tang San's understanding of that was quite clear.
It was only Xiao Wu who liked him.
Ignoring Dai Mubai's pleas, Tang San turned toward where Xiao Wu had been standing earlier, but she was nowhere to be seen. After looking around—
he finally spotted Xiao Wu at the entrance of Rose Hotel.
Only, Xiao Wu was now accompanied by Yun Feng and a woman with an amazing figure whom he did not recognize.
When Tang San saw Yun Feng and the woman beside him, delight flashed through his eyes.
He could not help but think:
Could it be that little brother found himself a girlfriend? That's wonderful. That way, Yun Feng is no longer a threat to me!
Xiao Wu would never be interested in someone who already has a girlfriend!
That was the personality Xiao Wu had shown over the past six years, as Tang San had concluded!
When Yun Feng saw Tang San looking over, he shuddered instinctively.
That was fucking ruthless!
At the slightest disagreement, he had directly crippled Dai Mubai's little brother!
At this moment, fear also showed in Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as they looked at Tang San. What kind of person was this?!
Zhu Zhuqing in particular turned even paler as she looked at Dai Mubai's current state.
She wanted to go over, but feared that the shameless Tang San might do the same to her.
After hesitating for a moment, she tugged at Yun Feng's sleeve and asked directly:
"Benefactor Yun Feng, do you know that boy over there?"
"Could you ask him to save Dai Mubai, who's lying on the ground?"
