Vroom!

The black SUV suddenly changed lanes with a roar of its engine. It drove onto the sidewalk, crashing around, and several times it almost hit pedestrians.

Bystanders screamed and scattered frantically.

Up ahead, Xiao Tian originally thought he had shaken off Zhongliang, that annoying pest. But when he heard the commotion behind him, he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Zhongliang driving on the pedestrian walkway without any regard for safety.

"That bastard!"

Xiao Tian had initially planned to hasten to the intersection and lay an ambush for the criminal, intending to deal with Zhongliang later. But seeing Zhongliang disregarding other people’s lives ignited a fury within him.

"Just wait for me." Xiao Tian parked the car nearby, told Yu Ningxue, and then jumped out, glaring fiercely at the approaching black SUV.

Seeing Xiao Tian standing at the intersection, Zhongliang inside the SUV was overjoyed and shouted, "Stop the car!"

After the car came to a stop, Zhongliang led Guo Zhou and several experts from the Shanghai City underground boxing realm out of the vehicle. The group surrounded Xiao Tian, looking at him with cold eyes.

Zhongliang strode forward with a look of arrogance, pointing at Xiao Tian with disdain, "Where’s the Calm Qi Technique?"

"It’s with me," Xiao Tian replied. But his expression grew colder.

He had other tasks at hand and no time to play their games!

"Do you see? The man beside me is Master Guo from Shanghai City. Today, you won’t escape!" Zhongliang introduced with inflated confidence after witnessing Guo Zhou’s earlier prowess.

Guo Zhou clearly enjoyed the situation, smiling arrogantly, seemingly dismissing Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian coldly chuckled, remaining silent as he watched Zhongliang’s antics.

Zhongliang, filled with hubris, had felt frustrated by Xiao Tian lately. Today, he was intent on taking his revenge with interest!

"Kid, hand over the Calm Qi Technique. Let us destroy your limbs, and maybe you’ll live!"

"Hahaha, Young Master Zhong, you’re just too ’kind’!" Guo Zhou stroked his beard, smiling faintly.

Though the words were spoken lightly, the mocking tone was unmistakable. Crippling someone, leaving them alive, was as good as killing. Such cruelty!

"Hahahahaha!"

The group laughed heartily, pointing at Xiao Tian.

"Oh?" Just then, Xiao Tian, who had remained silent, spoke coolly, "You few think you can take me on?"

"Heh." Guo Zhou was the first to sneer at Xiao Tian’s words, a cold expression on his face, "Young people today don’t know their limits, nor that their words have consequences."

"Old geezer, trying to steal from me? Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew." For some reason, Xiao Tian found this Guo Zhou increasingly displeasing and wasn’t shy about saying so.

"You’re courting death!"

As soon as Xiao Tian spoke, Guo Zhou’s face darkened, ready to take action. But his disciple, Huang Chen, roared and charged in instead.

"This...." Seeing Huang Chen move first, Zhongliang glanced worriedly at Guo Zhou. Guo Zhou spoke coldly,

"Huang Chen has been my disciple for many years. He’s won multiple championships in the Shanghai underground boxing realm. Handling a young kid shouldn’t be an issue. However, I want this kid to suffer!"

"Heh heh." Zhongliang chuckled, "Once we get what I want from him, we’ll slowly torment him until he wishes he were dead."

"Yes." Guo Zhou nodded, satisfied with the plan.

Whoosh!

Xiao Tian stood motionless, watching Huang Chen charge at him, his fist slicing through the air, aiming lethally at Xiao Tian’s head.

Huang Chen was fast.

But Xiao Tian was even faster! Just as Huang Chen was about to reach him, Xiao Tian vanished with a mischievous smile.

"Where did he go???" Huang Chen was baffled. Before he could react, a gust of fist wind hit him from behind.

Pow!

Xiao Tian’s punch slammed into Huang Chen’s back.

"Pfft!!"

Struck by Xiao Tian’s punch, Huang Chen felt as if he’d been hit by lightning, coughing up blood and collapsing without even turning his head.

"What??"

Seeing Xiao Tian take down Huang Chen with one blow, Guo Zhou, who had dismissed Xiao Tian, showed a change in expression.

Guo Zhou smirked coldly, stepping forward, "No wonder you’re so arrogant. You have some skills. But I’ll now show you what true terror is!"

He swung his arms, fists clenching swiftly, performing a peculiar martial arts form.

With his movements, the surrounding air began to stir. Centered around Guo Dan, a formidable aura swirled.

"Boy, let me show you what Qi Gong Martial Arts is!"

Guo Dan’s eyes widened, and he stepped mid-air. With a strong gust, he launched his fists furiously at Xiao Tian.

The spectacle made many around step back, dumbfounded.

"Hmph."

Xiao Tian smirked coldly, channeling his internal energy, and caught Guo Dan’s fists.

Pow!

Their fists met with a dull thud, and Guo Dan’s eyes widened; he hadn’t expected Xiao Tian to block his attack! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Xiao Tian twisted Guo Dan’s arm and, with a gentle push, sent Guo Dan flying.

Despite his skill, Guo Dan retreated frantically, leaving a deep gouge in the ground, eventually crashing into Zhongliang and knocking him unconscious with a scream.

At that moment, Guo Dan felt a gentle breeze sweep by, and touching his cheek, he was shocked to find blood dripping!

In disbelief, Guo Dan felt the blood on his face, his pupils dilating, murmuring, "Using Qi in the wind to wound invisibly, you’ve mastered Qi???!!"

Xiao Tian spoke plainly, "Next time, it won’t just be your face!"

Xiao Tian’s words echoed in Guo Dan’s ears. He had no doubt the young man before him could easily kill him! And terrifyingly, he was merely in his twenties!

Guo Dan turned pale, sitting weakly on the ground. After some time, he sighed, "I failed to recognize a master...I’ve lived in vain for so long! I hope the master won’t take offense!"

With that, Guo Dan hurriedly fled the scene.

Now, only Zhongliang and a few bodyguards remained. Seeing even Guo Dan wasn’t Xiao Tian’s match, Zhongliang was utterly terrified, trembling all over.
