"I hate that dead fish look of yours the most. Get on your knees!"
Without hesitation, Fang Si flashed and appeared behind Li Zhonglou, targeting his knees.
His right leg whipped out like a long lash, a whistling sound accompanying its swift descent. This time, he didn't intend to kill, but to cripple Li Zhonglou's legs!
As his right leg swept forward, Fang Si's eyes flared with a cruel glint, a pathological gaze found only in madmen who relished torturing their opponents!
However, the next moment, Fang Si's expression froze.
"Huh? Where did he go?"
Fang Si clearly saw the figure he had struck, but his foot met empty air.
"Damn it, get out of the way!"
Another man shouted urgently, simultaneously releasing his aura.
Before Fang Si could react, a whistling sound came from his right, followed by a bone-jarring thud.
"Bang!"
Fang Si turned his head and saw his companion flying backward, blood still lingering in the air.
A faint scent of blood immediately spread, seeping into his nostrils.
In the past, this smell would have excited him; Fang Si’s greatest pleasure was the scent from within an enemy's body!
But now, Fang Si felt only a pervasive chill.
"He was hiding his strength!"
Li Zhonglou's movements were too fast. Fang Si had locked onto him with his killing intent, yet still couldn't track his movements.
What did this mean? The strength of this trash he had previously disdained far surpassed his own!
At least a Layer Four!
Fang Si himself was only at Layer Two, and a peak Layer Three madman was already an insurmountable opponent, let alone Layer Four!
For a moment, Fang Si felt his blood begin to freeze, his body becoming uncontrollably rigid. This was a primal response that occurred only in the face of a dire life-or-death crisis!
"Boss, save me!"
In his desperation, Fang Si instinctively called out to the madman for help. However, when he looked over, he saw a sight that filled him with despair.
The madman had already fled the wooden house through the window!
Li Zhonglou's voice echoed in Fang Si's ears again.
"Don't worry, I'll send your boss down to accompany you."
Fang Si's nerves tensed. The next second, an even more potent aura erupted from within him!
Under this绝境 (juéjìng - desperate situation), his strength had actually broken through.
"Die for me!"
Fang Si hadn't expected this, but he had no time to celebrate because Li Zhonglou's displayed strength was not Layer Three, but Layer Four!
He had no choice but to fight to the death!
Fang Si roared, his fist whistling through the air as he lunged towards Li Zhonglou. This punch was several points stronger than his peak condition before.
But in the next instant, his fist stopped in mid-air.
Fang Si stared, seeing Li Zhonglou casually block his all-out attack with just one hand!
A wave of powerlessness washed over him. Fang Si was terrified. In that instant, all desire to resist vanished from his mind.
Thump.
Fang Si fell to his knees and begged with terror, "Senior, don't kill me, please don't kill me!"
"Begging? When you were killing people, why didn't you consider sparing others? We've only just met, and when you tried to kill me, why didn't you think of that?"
Fang Si's face was contorted with terror, "Senior, I didn't know you were hiding your strength. I was blind, I offended you!"
Li Zhonglou sneered, "It seems you've done quite a lot of this. Keep your pleas for the rest of your life, if you ever get the chance to be human again."
As the words fell, Li Zhonglou's fist punched through Fang Si's head.
The indescribable liquid splattered everywhere, but Li Zhonglou paid it no mind.
Because at this moment, it was Caihong who was controlling his body.
"Little Li, thank you. I haven't felt this kind of thrill in a long time!"
Caihong's voice was filled with excitement. Li Zhonglou didn't respond; he only now realized Caihong's almost perverse fighting spirit.
After Old Lin's reminder, Li Zhonglou no longer intended to hand over control of his consciousness. So, at this moment, he was the one speaking and thinking, while Caihong controlled his limbs and body.
"Senior Caihong, there's one more. Don't miss him."
The Gao family incident had also taught Li Zhonglou that once a decision was made, one must cut the grass by the roots and leave no future trouble!
"Don't worry, it's rare for me to get to play. How could I miss it?"
Caihong chuckled in Li Zhonglou's mind, then controlled his body and rapidly pursued the direction the madman had fled.
"Damn it! I've been set up!"
At this moment, the madman's expression was panicked, devoid of his previous nonchalance. The instant Li Zhonglou made his move, he understood the vast gap between them; he was utterly outmatched!
The madman's mind was filled only with escape, and the feeling that Tian You had tricked him!
Tian You himself had told him that Li Zhonglou's strength had been tested and that he was just an ordinary person. That's why he had never considered this possibility! In retrospect, there were many suspicious points.
For instance, why was an ordinary person immune to their auras?
And again, why didn't he show any signs of worry when faced with Fang Si's unreserved killing intent?
The madman hadn't thought deeply about it before, but now he understood everything. This was not some person with peculiar talent; this was clearly someone playing the part of a pig to eat the tiger!
But it was too late to regret it now. The moment Li Zhonglou made his move, the madman understood Li Zhonglou's stance.
Escape was the only option!
But he had underestimated Li Zhonglou's speed.
In less than a minute, Li Zhonglou's aura could be felt from behind him!
"Find Tian You, he definitely won't know this guy's strength either!"
The madman immediately made the most sensible choice for him, but it was already too late. His current position was exactly in the opposite direction of Tian You's stronghold. By the time he wanted to turn back.
Li Zhonglou, no, Caihong, had already caught up.
"Stop struggling. It's better to just have a good fight."
This was Caihong's intention. He didn't want to kill the man immediately; it was rare for him to be able to stretch his muscles. The punch that had shattered Fang Si's head had already ignited his fighting spirit!
The madman grunted, "Friend, it's a misunderstanding, I never intended to kill you!"
Li Zhonglou smiled faintly, "Then why are you running?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his fist smashed towards the madman's chest. The madman's eyes flashed with ferocity, but he neither dodged nor evaded, instead throwing a punch towards Li Zhonglou's head!
Caihong chuckled in his mind. His fist transformed into a palm in mid-air, instantly grasping the madman's fist.
"You fell for it!"
The madman showed a crazed smile. Using Li Zhonglou's force, his right leg swept out with a whistling sound towards Li Zhonglou's lower body, specifically targeting the vital area!
