Facing the man’s loud shouting, Zhou Yu smiled calmly and did not respond.
Seeing this, the martial artist immediately wanted to step forward and spar.
“Wait, no rush.”
Zhong Fabai stopped the martial artist beside him, then said to Zhou Yu, “You and I are both martial artists, there is no conflict between us today, but I am a retainer of the Zhang family, so naturally I must do something for them.”
He had lived a carefree life in the Zhang family for years, with food, drink, and beautiful women attending to him.
The sudden appearance of Zhou Yu had shattered this peace.
Zhong Fabai had learned from his intelligence that this young man was also a martial artist, and quite strong.
But he was already a master of Houtian Anjin, so he had no other worries.
Because in Zhong Fabai’s opinion, no matter how powerful the young man in front of him was, he could not be his opponent.
Such a young martial artist, could he be a master of Houtian Anjin?
Absolutely impossible!
And unscientific.
Zhong Fabai had reason to believe that teaching Zhou Yu a lesson would be as easy as an eagle catching a chick.
“You speak well, but in reality, aren’t you just a dog kept by the Zhang family? Oh, no, it should be more appropriate to use the word poodle.”
Hearing the old man mention the word retainer, Zhou Yu almost burst into laughter.
“What did you say, boy!”
“Elder Zhong is here, and you still dare to be presumptuous!”
Those two martial artists could no longer sit still.
Zhou Yu’s words had indirectly insulted them as well.
In fact, their strength was slightly greater than the two Zhou Yu had encountered earlier.
Therefore, with Elder Zhong present, they believed that even if they were not Zhou Yu’s match, they could retreat quickly and return to Elder Zhong’s side.
In short, they had to at least show off their skills in front of Elder Zhong.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to account for themselves to Old Master Zhang when they returned.
“Words are useless. If you have the guts, smash your fist in my face.” Zhou Yu sneered.
He was already worried that he hadn’t moved his muscles and bones much these past few days. Now, someone was voluntarily delivering themselves.
Should he beat them to death or cripple them?
Zhou Yu hesitated.
However, the old man named Elder Zhong once again stopped the two martial artists.
“My fist isn’t big, I just don’t know if you can take it.”
Zhong Fabai stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an otherworldly master. He flicked his robes, and he did have some of the demeanor of a martial arts master.
Seeing this, the two martial artists directly retreated.
Since Elder Zhong was going to make a move, they didn’t need to insist.
As for Zhou Yu.
He curled his lips, his expression unchanged.
But in the next instant, his figure, with the speed of afterimages, appeared behind Zhong Fabai!
“Relying on your age, who do you think you are!”
Zhou Yu’s right hand transformed into a palm and struck Zhong Fabai’s shoulder.
A muffled sound echoed.
Zhong Fabai was pushed forward by the force of the palm strike.
“Such speed!”
Everything happened in a flash.
Zhong Fabai felt pain in his shoulder and, without time to think, forcibly stabilized himself.
After all, he was a Houtian Anjin master, and he couldn’t be rendered completely helpless by a single palm strike.
But the psychological pressure Zhou Yu exerted on him was immense.
“What is your strength?” Zhong Fabai asked.
He didn’t know if Zhou Yu had held back. Judging by the force of the strike, the latter was at least at the peak of Houtian Mingjin.
The force was at the peak of Mingjin, but the speed…
Zhong Fabai knew that with his strength, just entering Houtian Anjin, he could not achieve such ghostly speed.
“Guess, and if you guess correctly, I won’t hit you.”
Zhou Yu did not answer directly but attacked again.
He didn’t want to cripple the old man immediately.
Since he was exercising his muscles and bones, it would naturally be better to prolong it, lest he hadn’t even exerted himself before the opponent fell.
How boring would that be!
“Boy, don’t be arrogant! That was merely my carelessness! You’ve learned a speed-oriented movement technique, so you’re fast, but your strength is clearly insufficient. See how I deal with you today!”
Zhong Fabai was certain that Zhou Yu’s martial arts strength was only at the peak of Houtian Mingjin.
A martial artist of this age with such strength had reason to be arrogant.
But in front of him, a master of Houtian Anjin, it was not enough!
No matter how fast the speed, what could it do?
Thinking this, Zhong Fabai circulated his internal qi, infusing the Anjin into his fist, and struck towards the attacking Zhou Yu.
For Mingjin martial artists, the more powerful and vigorous their punches, the stronger the force, and the more painful it would be for the opponent.
But for Anjin martial artists, it was the opposite.
At the Houtian Anjin level, each punch a martial artist threw might not look as powerful as a Mingjin martial artist’s, but the force it contained was several times that of a Mingjin martial artist!
It appeared soft and slow, but it was actually infused with a massive amplification of true qi!
This was the biggest difference between Mingjin and Anjin martial artists.
In the eyes of ordinary people, when a Mingjin martial artist made a move, one could immediately see how powerful it was.
But if an Anjin martial artist made a move, no matter how carefully an ordinary person looked, they wouldn’t be able to tell.
“Lie down for me!”
Zhong Fabai roared, intending to defeat his opponent in one move.
But what happened next greatly exceeded his expectations.
As if he could see through it, his fist, imbued with Anjin, was blocked by Zhou Yu with one hand before it even reached his body.
Yes, with just one hand!
How was this possible?
Zhong Fabai’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“You… how did you do that?”
“You want to learn? I’ll teach you.” Zhou Yu chuckled.
His right hand formed a claw, like iron pincers, firmly grasping Zhong Fabai’s fist.
Then, he slowly extended his left hand and placed it on the old man’s abdomen.
“What are you doing?” Zhong Fabai’s face turned pale.
His fist was grabbed by the opponent, unable to move. If he made any slight movement, his arm would surely be twisted off.
Therefore, he could only watch as Zhou Yu placed his fist on his abdomen.
Incomprehensible.
The young man who had only shown the strength of peak Mingjin moments ago now seemed like a different person, displaying the strength of Houtian Anjin…
No!
Zhou Yu was definitely more than just at the initial stage of Houtian Anjin.
This kid had deliberately hidden his strength.
Where did such a monster come from?
Zhong Fabai was filled with regret.
If he had known this young man was so powerful, he would never have agreed to Old Master Zhang’s request.
“You and these thugs of the Zhang family blocked me here, and now you’re asking me what I’m doing? Aren’t you being ridiculous?”
As Zhou Yu spoke, his fist landed on the old man’s body.
“Ah!”
A miserable scream echoed throughout the area.
The Zhang family’s thugs and the two martial artists were all stunned.
Elder Zhong!
Elder Zhong, who was invincible in their eyes!
Had he been so easily defeated by that young man named Zhou Yu?
Why did this happen?
These people found it unbelievable.
“Could it be that he is also a master of Houtian Anjin!”
Thinking of this possibility, the martial artist who had spoken rudely to Zhou Yu earlier felt a chill of fear.
A master of Anjin fighting a Mingjin martial artist was like playing a game.
This time, they had truly kicked a steel plate!
Elder Zhong was not an opponent, so who among the people present could defeat Zhou Yu?
