The two, however, did not retreat, still blocking Li Chonglou's path.
Since that was the case, a fight it would be.
Li Chonglou no longer wished to waste words with these decaying individuals. He turned and said to Yue Hai, "You should go to the side first. Learn what you can."
If Yue Hai had been told this when they first entered, he would have certainly been a bit defiant. However, after the incident with Yu Xu, he now understood his current strength was nowhere near the level of combat Li Chonglou was engaged in. To rashly join the fray now would even make him a burden.
Thus, after Li Chonglou finished speaking, Yue Hai obediently retreated to the office doorway. This also served to prevent the opposition from blocking them in.
Qing Lin had initially only wanted to watch the excitement, but the atmosphere had now severely exceeded her definition of 'excitement.' She couldn't help but quickly speak up, trying to dissuade Li Chonglou, "Don't mess around! The Martial Arts Association has modern military forces. If you really cause trouble, you won't even make it out of the building alive!"
However, what Qing Lin didn't expect was that her rebuttal wouldn't come from Li Chonglou, but from Yang Dongtian.
"You can rest assured about that. It's a rule of the martial world, and matters of the martial world are settled within the martial world. Modern military forces will absolutely not be deployed. If I fall here today, it will be because I am inferior in skill, and I will blame no one."
"Of course, that's only if you have the ability!"
As Yang Dongtian spoke these words, his face was filled with a cold sneer. To be provoked time and again by a junior, and to even speak of 'learning'—how could he, with his hot temper, possibly tolerate it! Even if Li Chonglou didn't make a move now, he absolutely wouldn't let him leave like this!
Li Chonglou no longer wanted to talk nonsense with these people. He now understood what kind of existence the Martial Arts Association was. No amount of talking would be as effective as a good punch!
At this moment, Old Lin's slightly excited voice rang out from the Soul Bottle, "Little Li, let me do it, let me! I will definitely help you vent this anger!"
"Mm."
Li Chonglou did not refuse Old Lin's volunteering, and he felt that for this scene, it would be even better to let Old Lin fight.
After all, at this moment, what was needed was momentum, what was needed was arrogance.
The next second, the seal of the curse's power loosened again, and Li Chonglou relinquished control of his body. When Old Lin took over again, he couldn't help but stretch his body first.
The South China Tiger's eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, he realized that the situation had become irreversible. Since that was the case, he would unleash his true strength and make the opponent recognize reality!
Just as the South China Tiger was thinking this, Old Lin had already made the first move.
Qing Lao, standing by, was about to react when the South China Tiger preempted him, saying, "Let me handle it."
*Swish*, the figures of the two instantly collided.
*Bang!* Without the slightest warning, the South China Tiger's figure was sent flying backward.
Qing Lao's expression immediately changed greatly, and he quickly adopted a defensive stance. However, when that massive fist arrived, he finally understood how strong Li Chonglou's power was.
With a single punch, Qing Lao, guarding himself with both hands, was forced to retreat step by step. He even crashed into Yang Dongtian's bookshelf before stopping.
"So weak,"
Old Lin muttered unhappily, causing the two to instantly feel a surge of shame and anger.
"Brat, don't get cocky! I wasn't prepared just now!"
The South China Tiger crawled up from the sofa, let out a low growl, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, containing a strong killing intent that made Qing Lin quickly retreat to the side.
However, Old Lin's gaze fell upon Yang Dongtian.
"Come on together, otherwise it's no fun."
'Li Chonglou' curled his lips into a cold sneer, and Yang Dongtian's eyes instantly turned icy.
"Brat, arrogance comes with a price."
As soon as the words fell, another aura laced with strong killing intent swept over like a storm. And in terms of killing intent alone, Yang Dongtian's was clearly twice as dense as the South China Tiger's!
Qing Lao, who was by the bookshelf, rubbed his arm and said calmly, "It seems my old bones will have to get some exercise today as well."
In an instant, all three stared with cold eyes.
Old Lin chuckled, raised his right hand, and beckoned with a finger.
He said nothing, but his attitude acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the emotions of the three.
"You're seeking death!"
Yang Dongtian, as the primary figure, made the first move. He clenched his right fist, and as he swung it out, a roar like a lion's roar suddenly sounded in the air. Before the fist even landed, the fierce wind had already caused Li Chonglou's clothes to tighten.
Yue Hai at the doorway narrowed his eyes, seemingly grasping something, and stared intently at Yang Dongtian's movements.
*Boom!*
Old Lin returned his punch. As the two fists met, Yang Dongtian's expression suddenly changed. He finally understood what the South China Tiger and Qing Lao had felt moments ago.
So strong!
But, not unbeatable!
Yang Dongtian roared again, and the dormant power within him was finally awakened. The strength in his fist immediately surged.
Old Lin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly sidestepped, deflecting Yang Dongtian's force, then delivered a shoulder charge. Yang Dongtian reacted extremely agilely, blocking it with his arm.
The two each retreated a step.
"That's more like it, come again!"
Old Lin laughed and charged forward, but Yang Dongtian had only just managed to stabilize himself.
So fast!
In his haste, Yang Dongtian could only parry. Although his office space was not small, he was now being pressed back to the desk by Old Lin.
He was at a disadvantage!
The South China Tiger and Qing Lao exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They knew Yang Dongtian's strength better than anyone. The sudden surge of aura they had just felt indicated he was already using his full power! Yet, even so, he was at a disadvantage. Just how strong was this young man?
"No matter what, let's go together!"
If this continued, Yang Dongtian would undoubtedly lose. This concerned the reputation of their Martial Arts Association, and the two could not stand idly by.
Thus, the South China Tiger and Qing Lao also joined the fray.
"Good, bring it on!"
Old Lin's fighting spirit was fully ignited, primarily because Li Chonglou's body felt like an inexhaustible treasure trove! Many of his own experimental techniques from the past could now be easily employed, and that feeling was incredibly satisfying!
*Bang bang bang bang bang*, each contact of fists between the four men produced a muffled thud. At this moment, with Yang Dongtian joining forces with the South China Tiger and Qing Lao, they were only managing to fight Old Lin to a draw. This scene left Qing Lin and Yue Hai dumbfounded.
The two now had the feeling that every time they thought they had seen Li Chonglou's limit, it would be re-shattered the next time!
It seemed his strength was like a bottomless pit, growing stronger when faced with a stronger opponent!
However, gradually, Li Chonglou discovered Old Lin's shortcomings.
"Old Lin, your combat skills are not quite up to par."
