In his mind, Li Zhonglou unreservedly shared his thoughts. Old Lin blushed slightly and said somewhat helplessly.
"There's no way, Little Li. Your China's combat techniques are really different. How come I feel like I'm getting trapped the more we fight..."
Yes, as time went on, the situation slowly turned from evenly matched to Old Lin being at a disadvantage. Besides Old Lin's combat skills not keeping up, the tacit cooperation of the three also played a part.
If it were one-on-one, Old Lin would definitely be confident in suppressing his opponents! After all, Li Zhonglou's body was like a human weapon to him. Whether it was his rich foundation or his terrifying physical fitness, he could display all his moves without fear.
But as the saying goes, "Even the best fighters can't fight off two opponents at once." Coupled with the increasingly coordinated attacks of the three, Old Lin found it increasingly difficult to parry.
After another minute, Old Lin, who had been forced into a corner by the three, could only say thoughtlessly in his mind, "Little Li, you take over. They're bullying me because I'm not familiar with China's moves..."
Li Zhonglou retook control of his body. Just then, Yang Dongtian finally couldn't help but mock, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why aren't you talking now!"
With a bang, Yang Dongtian landed another heavy punch, pinning Li Zhonglou against the wall. Hua Nanhu and Elder Qing saw this and showed a slight smile. It seemed their pride was saved.
However, the next second.
"Still too weak."
Li Zhonglou adjusted his stance and suddenly erupted before Yang Dongtian's next punch arrived, but his target was not Yang Dongtian.
"Elder Qing, be careful!"
Hua Nanhu was the first to realize something was wrong and quickly shouted a warning, but Li Zhonglou had already taken the brunt of the two's punches, crashing into Elder Qing's embrace.
"You want to use me as a breakthrough?"
Although Elder Qing was older, he was not one to admit defeat. Moreover, being primarily a practitioner of Tai Chi, he was skilled in close-quarters combat. At this moment, he was not surprised but pleased. He wrapped his arms around Li Zhonglou's body, simultaneously hooking his right foot in the middle, almost instantly locking all of Li Zhonglou's movements.
But he didn't know that Tai Chi was also something Li Zhonglou excelled at.
He clenched his hands, his body suddenly tensed, and as Elder Qing tried to lock him further, he suddenly relaxed.
This sudden tension and release instantly broke Elder Qing's grip. Simultaneously, his feet entwined and locked between Elder Qing's legs. With a heave of his shoulder.
Elder Qing's expression changed drastically because he felt he had lost his balance!
Hua Nanhu, standing nearby, wanted to follow up with a lock. Li Zhonglou pushed out with both palms, aiming directly at his chin.
If this hit were to connect, Hua Nanhu would likely faint or dislocate his jaw on the spot! He could only abandon his follow-up move and choose to defend.
However, Li Zhonglou's target was not him. Before his palms could reach, he suddenly changed his palms into claws, twisted his waist, and his hands, like two sharp blades, slashed directly towards Yang Dongtian's face.
"You wish!"
Yang Dongtian roared and smashed his right fist directly at the dark shadow. But as soon as they made contact, the expected head-on collision did not happen. Yang Dongtian felt as if his full-power strike had hit cotton, and at the same time, he felt two hands coiling up his fist like nimble snakes.
Not good!
Yang Dongtian's face changed greatly, but his attack was too late to be retracted. He continued to charge towards Li Zhonglou. In the eyes of Yue Hai and Qing Lin, it looked as if Yang Dongtian was delivering himself to his opponent. With a crisp sound, Li Zhonglou slapped him aside, sending him crashing into the wall before he stopped.
Hua Nanhu, who remained, could not escape either. Realizing he had been tricked, he immediately followed up, only to find Li Zhonglou waiting for him. Before he could even throw a punch, he felt a dark shadow land steadily on his right eye socket.
With a bang, Hua Nanhu was also sent flying by a punch, crashing onto the sofa behind him.
The entire process, though complex to describe, happened in mere seconds. Yue Hai and Qing Lin felt as if they had blinked, and the three who were originally in the advantageous position were instantly defeated!
Qing Lin, with her small mouth slightly agape, stared blankly at Li Zhonglou, who was unfazed.
The three who had stabilized themselves looked at Li Zhonglou with shock.
How is this possible!
Fighting three at once and being beaten like this?
"Damn it!"
Yang Dongtian couldn't help but curse, and with a roar, he charged forward again. Li Zhonglou did not retreat but advanced, and in a brief encounter, he sent him flying again.
Pfft!
Li Zhonglou, who held nothing back, made him spit out a mouthful of blood. Yang Dongtian felt a burning pain in his chest, which also made him sober up considerably.
"What kind of monster are you!"
Yang Dongtian dared not charge again. These two consecutive knockdowns had made him realize a reality: he was no match for Li Zhonglou!
Li Zhonglou said coldly, "There is always someone better, but you are too weak."
This time, there was no need for further action. All three understood the current situation.
However, on their faces, apart from shock, there was only more shock!
Inside the Soul Bottle at this moment.
"It's much smoother watching Little Li fight! His combat techniques alone are invincible."
"Old Lin, you're not good enough. You still need to learn more from Little Li."
Old Lin replied somewhat dejectedly, "You're comparing me to Little Li... Is that pervert someone you can compare with?"
Li Zhonglou: ...
However, this was not the time to dwell on these things. Li Zhonglou stared coldly at Yang Dongtian.
"I think I'm qualified to talk to you now."
Yang Dongtian's expression changed slightly, but he did not speak.
Li Zhonglou ignored him and delivered his final ultimatum, "I'll only say this one last time: if you interfere with Yu Ke's affairs again, next time it won't be just a sparring match."
Sparring match...
Hearing these two words, all three felt an invisible large hand slapping their faces.
It was too humiliating! To lose even in a three-on-one fight. If this matter were to get out, let alone their faces, the entire Martial Arts Association's reputation would surely be disgraced!
However, no matter how unpleasant Yang Dongtian's expression was, he refused to budge and did not answer Li Zhonglou's words.
Seeing this, Li Zhonglou frowned slightly, but in the end, he said no more. Instead, he gave Yue Hai and Qing Lin a look and then walked towards the door.
As he left the office, Yue Hai quickly caught up and asked with great expectation, "Brother Li, can I become this strong in the future?"
"If you work hard, you probably can."
Li Zhonglou gave a perfunctory answer and turned his gaze to Qing Lin, who had also followed with understanding.
"Could you trouble yourself to lead us out again?"
Qing Lin quickly waved her hand, "No trouble, no trouble!"
