Seizing the opportunity, Ning Xingchen quickly adjusted his stance, stepped forward, and grabbed the heads of two thugs. With a loud bang, their heads collided, producing a sound as crisp as a watermelon breaking.
Four seconds had passed...
Ning Xingchen, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, charged toward the tallest and strongest young man among them, fully ignited with battle intent and bloodlust. Seeing Ning Xingchen rushing at him, the thug threw a punch, but Ning Xingchen's figure suddenly disappeared, reappearing behind him. Terrified, the thug turned pale, felt a sharp pain in his back, and fell forward, hitting the ground before he could react.
Five seconds had passed...
The remaining thugs were now in a panic, like headless flies. In a short time, they had witnessed Ning Xingchen's terrifying combat skills and were too frightened to advance, knowing that anyone who did so was courting death.
The others hoped to stay put, but Ning Xingchen wouldn't give them that chance. Gathering his strength, he raised his fist and consecutively struck down four thugs. Without exception, these four saw stars, screamed in agony, and felt their internal organs churning, the pain so unbearable it was worse than death!
Six seconds had passed...
The last few thugs, scared out of their wits, dropped to their knees with a thud, clasping their hands and preparing to beg for mercy. But Ning Xingchen's face was cold and he sneered, punching one thug in the chest. With a crisp crack, the young man collapsed and couldn't get up again. His companions also couldn't escape severe injury, all of them lying on the ground in pain, their faces twisted in agony and drenched in sweat!
Seven seconds!
Ning Xingchen had defeated more than twenty thugs in just seven seconds, emerging unscathed with a confident smile on his face.
Everyone watched in stunned silence. Brother Tiger stared at Ning Xingchen like he was looking at a monster, disbelief written all over his face.
Qin Chuan was even more despondent. The ruthless thug he had counted on had been dealt with by Ning Xingchen in seven seconds, which was beyond Qin Chuan's comprehension.
Such terrifying combat strength! Many began to wonder if Ning Xingchen had been a special forces soldier. Was he even human? This was practically instant annihilation; the twenty thugs had no chance to fight back!
In this society where strength reigns supreme, Ning Xingchen's dominance and explosive power made many present realize his terrifying capabilities.
"Brother Tiger, your buddies are on the ground, screaming in pain. Isn't it improper for you not to accompany them?" Ning Xingchen slowly approached Brother Tiger.
His voice was chilling, and Brother Tiger suddenly felt his limbs go cold, a deep-seated fear gripping him.
Bang!
Brother Tiger's legs gave out, and he knelt before Ning Xingchen.
"No, please, spare me! I'll acknowledge you as my boss, okay?" Brother Tiger pleaded, almost in tears.
"Heh, let me tell you something. Life only happens once, so you need to cherish it. A simple plea for mercy won't undo the harm you've caused. I, Ning Xingchen, am never merciful to my enemies!"
Brother Tiger's submission left everyone in the room stunned. Just moments ago, he had been so domineering, but now he was kneeling and begging for mercy without hesitation.
...
"Brother Tiger, are you crazy? Even if this guy can fight, I don't believe he can take on a hundred or a thousand men. Call everyone you can right now! We have to kill this bastard today!" Qin Chuan, blinded by rage, had lost all reason. Seeing Brother Tiger's servility, Qin Chuan's eyes turned red. If he didn't kill Ning Xingchen, he would explode with anger.
An expert can recognize another's skill. Brother Tiger, who had some martial training, could see that Ning Xingchen was an unparalleled master. Fighting him would be suicidal.
After a moment of silence, Brother Tiger glared at Qin Chuan and said, "You idiot, shut the hell up!"
Qin Chuan was completely dumbfounded, veins bulging on his forehead. They say you can only rely on yourself, and this was proving true. Blinded by hatred, Qin Chuan didn't consider his own strength and charged at Ning Xingchen with a clenched fist.
Bang!
There was a dull thud as Qin Chuan's fist collided with Ning Xingchen's.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking echoed. Qin Chuan bit his lip so hard it bled from the pain.
Then, a surge of energy flowed through the air, and Qin Chuan's body flew backward, slamming heavily into the wall. His head bled, and his arm, used to punch, was now numb, undoubtedly broken, much like Yang Guo's fate.
"What's going on here?"
At that moment, three men from the next room entered. The middle-aged man in the lead looked furious. He had been drinking and having fun with friends when a loud crash from the wall startled him, nearly making him choke on his drink.
The reaction from the neighboring room showed just how powerful Ning Xingchen's blow had been, embedding Qin Chuan into the wall so deeply he couldn't be pried off.
"Young Master Ning?" The middle-aged man was surprised to see Ning Xingchen and quickly adopted a respectful tone.
This man was none other than Zhou Fei, the eldest son of the Zhou family.
"Uncle Zhou, we meet again!" Ning Xingchen greeted him casually, looking relaxed.
"What's going on here?" Zhou Fei asked, puzzled.
"Nothing much. I just cleaned up some trash. Sorry for disturbing you," Ning Xingchen said lightly.
Ning Xingchen's nonchalant tone made Zhou Fei gasp. There were more than twenty young men lying limp on the ground, one kneeling, and one embedded in the wall. This was called a simple cleanup?
"No disturbance at all!" Zhou Fei hurriedly waved his hand. Since Ning Xingchen had saved the Zhou family patriarch's life, the Zhou family revered Ning Xingchen as a god and their most respected benefactor. Zhou Fei wouldn't dare show any displeasure.
"Little Tiger?" Zhou Fei noticed Brother Tiger kneeling on the ground.
"Master Fei, please save me!" Brother Tiger looked delighted, grasping at this lifeline. Zhou Fei and Ning Xingchen knew each other and seemed to have a good relationship.
"Save you? Little Tiger, you've gotten more reckless since leaving the Zhou family. You don't know your place and even dared to offend Young Master Ning. I can't save you. You're on your own!" Zhou Fei, being smart, understood the situation immediately.
"Master Fei, please, for the sake of my years as a bodyguard for the Zhou family, help me!" Brother Tiger was almost in tears, looking pitiable despite his muscular build.
