I dodged.
Swinging a fist, I hammered it hard onto Xu Haipeng's face.
Having learned medicine from the old man, I also picked up some self-defense tricks, not to mention, the old man fed me a lot of medicine, making my body very strong.
"Ouch!"
Xu Haipeng staggered, dazed by the blow, and then he bellowed furiously, "What are you standing there for, beat him up! Kill him!"
The ruffians snapped out of their surprise, let out angry roars, and charged at me. One even grabbed a stool from the side and swung it viciously at me.
There were quite a few of them, and without much real combat experience, I was a bit overwhelmed, taking a few punches and kicks, and getting smashed with the stool as well.
But I wasn't one to cower; I returned punches to each of them, grabbed the stool, and struck back, leaving them with swollen noses and battered faces.
"What are you doing!"
Suddenly, a surprised shout came from the doorway, it was Dr. Lin coming back.
