Didn't dodge?
An unexpected glint appeared in Xiang Liang's eyes. Li Feng actually chose to face him head-on. From the start, Li Feng had been evading, not daring to take on his punches directly.
Of course, there was nothing wrong with such an approach.
Anyone daring to trade punches with the Xiang Family's Overlord Five Tigers either has a screw loose or simply can't dodge. Which category does Li Feng fall into?
This guy can't seriously think he can trade punches with me head-on, right?
Xiang Liang had a fleeting thought: could he be planning some sneaky trick? Xiang Liang stayed on guard, retracting his strength by three-tenths, preparing for whatever might come.
To deal with him, seven-tenths of my strength is more than enough.
The speed of thought was swift.
However, in the blink of an eye, the two were already closing in on each other, their figures expanding rapidly in their eyes.
Xiang Liang curved his lips into a grin; Li Feng really was overconfident, actually wanting to clash with him.
Just the way I like it.
Bam.
With a step forward, Xiang Liang threw a punch like a meteor smashing straight toward the approaching Li Feng. I'd like to see how you handle this punch of mine.
This guy won't end up being hit for a home run, will he?
Li Feng, watching Xiang Liang's seemingly unstoppable punch coming at him, suddenly performed a ghostly sidestep, just like with that punch aimed at Xiang Zhuang. Dodging at the last possible moment, he evaded Xiang Liang's overwhelmingly powerful punch.
Yet the sonic boom from the punch still rumbled like rolling thunder around the ears.
"Break."
Li Feng shouted lowly to counterbalance the sound of the sonic boom. Otherwise, just that sound alone could rupture Li Feng's eardrums.
Li Feng sidestepped, finding himself directly in front of Xiang Liang's robust frame, ready for the Inch Fist Triple Waves.
Three layers of force came crashing down like immense waves against the shore.
Humph.
Xiang Liang let out a muffled grunt, his heart seeming to take a heavy hit. Luckily, his strength was formidable, protecting his heart meridian with his dominion, avoiding severe injury, though he did feel slightly strained by it.
Li Feng followed through with three punches in succession, then advanced a half step forward.
Xingyi Half-step Burst.
The fourth punch was still aimed squarely at Xiang Liang's chest. Sensing its threat, Xiang Liang chose not to resist it head-on. Instead, he stomped his foot and dispersed the force mid-air.
Everything happened too quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding Xiang Family members saw Xiang Liang being blown back, while Li Feng stood firm and composed.
The victor was clear at a glance.
"Young Master Liang was knocked back?"
"How could this be possible?"
"Exactly, isn't he one of our Xiang Family's Overlord Five Tigers, as powerful as a Grandmaster? How could he lose to someone who supposedly relies on women?"
The crowd was aroused and tense.
Meanwhile, the Xiang Family youths tied up like dumplings, tape over their mouths, were rolling their eyes. What a bunch of idiots.
If Li Feng was truly just a worthless freeloader, how would he have managed to bind them like dumplings and break a leg?
"How is this possible?"
Xiang Lingyue was also in disbelief, while Xiang Long's eyes narrowed. He had predicted this: Li Feng was no simple character.
"Second Brother."
Xiang Lingyue turned to look at Xiang Long, just in time to see him take a rapid stride forward, his expression slightly changing. Xiang Long stepping forward like this was slightly against the rules.
Xiang Long advanced, and Li Feng halted, squinting in his direction.
Li Feng was confident about dealing with one of the Xiang Family's Overlord Five Tigers. If there were two, though, then unless he completely unsealed the Eight Extraordinary Meridians...
But opening that sealing was full of unpredictable consequences.
Li Feng had self-sealed because the power within him was uncontrollable, cultivated from Slaughter Skill on the battlefield.
If the War God Power within him were fully unleashed, Li Feng would inevitably be influenced by the Slaughter Skill, leading to a bloodbath until he was utterly spent.
"Brother Liang, are you okay?"
Xiang Long looked at Xiang Liang, who raised his gaze at Xiang Long's interruption. This kind of interference in a duel was somewhat embarrassing.
But he knew Xiang Long didn't intend it that way.
Xiang Liang didn't respond verbally, instead pounding his chest, which echoed with a dull thud.
Poof.
Suddenly, Xiang Liang spat out a mouthful of blood.
As he expelled that blood, the suppressed force within his chest dissipated. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, Xiang Liang stood up straight, his tiger eyes piercingly looking at Li Feng.
"I believe now that Xiang Zhuang and the others were indeed defeated by you."
Previously, Xiang Liang hadn't taken Li Feng seriously, assuming he used underhanded tactics to bring down Xiang Zhuang and the others. But Li Feng injured him fair and square, hence Xiang Liang re-evaluated his contempt.
At the very least, the opponent's skills were comparable to theirs, deemed worthy as an opponent.
"So can I speak now?"
Li Feng didn't come here to fight, but sometimes fighting was necessary to even have a conversation because otherwise, you wouldn't even have the qualification to speak.
Xiang Liang grunted in acknowledgment.
"Although I don't know what you want to say, you've tied up my brother and injured many of our Xiang Family younger generations, so this enmity is settled."
"Huadong Town isn't a place where you can come and go as you please."
Li Feng smirked, his eyes scanning over Xiang Long: "Are you two planning to gang up on me?"
"Xiang Long, hold back. This is my fight."
Xiang Liang said.
Xiang Long hadn't answered yet when Li Feng chuckled, "He's not coming up, you won't be my match."
Xiang Liang glared furiously.
"You sure are confident. I didn't use my full strength earlier."
Li Feng sneered, looking at Xiang Liang with contempt, "Just because you didn't use your full strength, do you think I did?"
"Your skill is just barely better than Xiang Zhuang's, not by much, so in a one-on-one, your outcome won't be any different from his."
"He's also one of the Overlord Five Tigers, right? If the two of you teamed up, it'd be tricky, forcing me to use my full strength."
"But the consequence of making me use my full strength is something your Xiang Family cannot afford. Your Huadong Xiang Family's Five Tigers and generational talents represent your clan's fortune."
"If I do end up killing two or three, your Xiang Family's fortune would be halved. At that point, Li Feng and the Xiang Family would be in an endless feud."
"By then, I might just have to destroy your Xiang Family's millennium-long legacy."
"Is that what you want?"
"Such arrogant talk. Do you dare to claim that you'll destroy my Xiang Family."
Xiang Liang snorted coldly.
Xiang Long also felt uncomfortable internally; Li Feng truly had a sky-high tone. The Xiang Family's heritage spans two millennia. Though Huadong Town is just a branch, there are still over ten masters above Grandmaster level, and the Family Head's power is unfathomable.
At least it's a higher level of strength. Even a Grandmaster must refer to themselves as juniors before the Xiang Family's patriarch.
"Li Feng, your background isn't exactly a secret. While I admit your display today exceeded expectations, don't grow too arrogant. Our Xiang Family is not a pushover."
"If I do join forces with Xiang Liang, can you really hold us off?"
Xiang Long said coldly.
The Xiang Family has never bowed its head. Did Li Feng truly think a few words could intimidate them!
