Li Chonglou said in a deep voice, "The reason my friend fell into the trap is because of him."
In just one exchange, the man now stood there, and Li Chonglou could clearly sense a potent internal force; this person was no simple opponent!
Crucially, Li Chonglou could detect a hint of hostility in his eyes. Although deeply concealed, Li Chonglou, who was naturally sensitive to such things, could still clearly perceive it.
The man did not answer Yue Hai’s question. Instead, he continued to address Qing Lin, saying, "I say, our goddess, if you are truly lonely, you can find me anytime. Why bother with these disreputable individuals?"
Qing Lin's expression changed instantly. Without a word, she lunged towards the man, and Yue Hai moved with her.
"Watch your foul mouth!"
Qing Lin flashed forward, appearing before the man. She lightly tapped her right foot, and her left leg transformed into a whip-like strike aimed at the man's right cheek. However, the man merely raised his hand with an indifferent gesture, effortlessly blocking Qing Lin's attack.
At this moment, Yue Hai also reached the man. Unlike Qing Lin's somewhat showy attacks, Yue Hai's approach was direct and brutal: a lunging straight punch. Its power was in no way inferior to Qing Lin's. Even before his fist landed, the gust of wind it generated caused the man's expression to shift slightly.
"To think you actually have some skill."
The man chuckled lightly. He neither dodged nor flinched. He raised his other hand, and with a muffled thud, he simply pressed Yue Hai's fist down.
The entire process appeared effortless!
At this point, both of them finally recognized the formidable strength of their opponent. However, instead of making them retreat, this only ignited a damned competitive spirit.
"Die, you bastard!"
Qing Lin used the man's arm as leverage for her left foot, performing a death roll in the air like an alligator. Her left leg, which had been attacking, instantly switched to her right, and a dark blur shot towards the back of the man's head.
Simultaneously, Yue Hai also changed his move. With his fist still held by the opponent, Yue Hai seized the opportunity to advance, executing the legendary "leaning mountain" technique.
"Too slow."
The man chuckled lightly. Just as their attacks were about to land, he released his grip and sidestepped. The next second, they brushed past each other in mid-air.
"Your strength is good, but your speed... it's far from it."
Yue Hai, his face still etched with surprise, suddenly heard the man's voice by his ear. As he instinctively turned his head, he saw a massive fist growing larger in his pupils.
'Damn it!'
Yue Hai knew he had underestimated his opponent. But feeling the fierce wind generated by that fist, he also knew that regret was useless now. Taking this punch, at best, would result in him passing out on the spot.
However, just as the man's fist was about to smash into Yue Hai's face, a dark blur suddenly appeared between them.
"Seeking death!"
A trace of humiliation and anger flashed across the man's face. This kind of move was typically made only by 'masters,' standing directly in the center of a confrontation. For him, this was pure insult!
It implied that the other party considered him no more than a nobody.
Therefore, with a low growl, the man suddenly unleashed even greater power, accelerating his punch by a third!
'This guy was actually holding back just now!'
But the next moment, his fist was suddenly enveloped by another palm. The man felt as though he had punched solid adamantine rock. Not only did he cause no damage, but he couldn't even budge it!
Instead, it sent a tingling numbness up his arm.
'How is that possible?'
The man's expression drastically changed. Li Chonglou then replied coldly, "Your speed is good, but your strength is far from it."
Yue Hai finally reacted, and the potent aura emanating from both men caused him to slump to the ground, his face a mask of confusion.
'Why am I always the weakest one?'
Yue Hai's eyes were now unfocused, his mind consumed by this single question.
He could even sense a stronger aura from Qing Lin, who had attacked alongside him! He couldn't understand it; he had worked so hard for so many years, yet upon emerging, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Yue Hai immediately fell into self-doubt.
However, no one paid him any mind. Upon seeing that Li Chonglou could actually block the man's attack, Qing Lin's face lit up with excitement, and she shouted repeatedly.
"Beat him down! Don't show mercy to scum like him! Make him hospital-bound for months!"
Hua Fei, the man who had just returned Li Chonglou's sarcastic remark, was now staring at him with icy eyes, completely unfazed by Qing Lin's words.
"I've lived for over twenty years, and you're the first person who dares to speak to me like this."
"Are you saying you lack discipline?"
Li Chonglou was not one to indulge such a person. From his actions in the grass earlier to his current words, it was clear he was a pampered young master accustomed to being overbearing since childhood.
He treated women like playthings and others with an air of superiority. Li Chonglou's assessment of him lacking discipline was not an exaggeration.
However, falling on Hua Fei's ears, it was like a needle piercing his soft spot. Intense rage instantly surged from the depths of his heart, and simultaneously, a terrifying aura erupted from him!
It was as cold as extreme frost and as sharp as a blade. The wind generated by his aura alone was enough to make one feel bone-chillingly cold!
At this moment, Hua Fei was like a prehistoric beast from an icy, snowy land. Though standing still, his aura directly permeated the soul!
Qing Lin, unable to control herself, took a step back before regaining her composure, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth.
She could accept that she couldn't defeat him, but she refused to be intimidated by his aura!
Meanwhile, Yue Hai, still sitting on the ground, remained utterly unresponsive.
Li Chonglou, who bore the brunt of Hua Fei's aura, didn't even flinch.
"Kid, you will regret your ignorance."
Hua Fei sneered, and a cloud of mist erupted from his feet. Qing Lin couldn't even track his figure; in an instant, he was in front of Li Chonglou.
"Then let's test this strength."
As he spoke, Hua Fei's fist shot out like a cannonball. Its extreme speed even created a sonic boom in the air!
*Boom!*
It was truly like a cannonball hitting a mountainside. The moment Li Chonglou raised his hand to block Hua Fei's punch, a visible shockwave erupted between them.
