Chapter 48: A Woman's Fury, A Crushing Fist
Chapter 48: A Woman's Fury, A Crushing Fist
Lou Huiying draped the baseball bat over her shoulder, rubbing the slender red mark on her neck with a soft click of her tongue.
"That really stings."
It had been a while since she'd last felt pain while wearing this headpiece. After taking care of Duan Kaiping, Lou Huiying was feeling rather proud of herself. She was about to head back to the hotel when she spotted a bespectacled young man walking towards her nonchalantly from a distance.
For some reason, despite his unremarkable and unassuming appearance, Lou Huiying felt a tingling at the back of her neck, and her steps involuntarily came to a halt.
She watched as the young man approached, pushing up his glasses as the afternoon sun reflected off the lenses, obscuring his eyes. Yet, she knew he was looking at her.
"Kid, was it you who did that just now?"
Lou Huiying narrowed her eyes, questioning him.
Xue Jing nodded, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "That's right, it was me."
Lou Huiying's wariness spiked. "You have a gun?"
Earlier, Duan Kaiping's thigh had suddenly exploded with a bloody hole, and the force behind it was clearly from a gunshot.
Although she wasn't sure if she could withstand a bullet now, she had no intention of finding out.
"A gun?" Xue Jing smiled. "Well, something like that. But don't worry, I won't use a 'gun' against you."
Xue Jing removed his jacket and tossed it aside, twisting his neck and stretching his limbs casually as if he were alone.
Having observed Lou Huiying's confrontation with Duan Kaiping, Xue Jing had a good idea of her level of strength.
She had immense strength and toughness, but her fighting style was very crude, clearly indicating a lack of formal martial arts training.
—She'd make a perfect sparring partner.
This was a great opportunity to practice his techniques, so Xue Jing decided on the spot that he wouldn't rely on his looks or charm. Instead, he would... take her on head-on.
With the activation of his [Twin Spirit] ability, he now possessed the speed and strength of two, and he was itching to test his newfound power.
Of course, if things went awry, he could always remove his glasses mid-fight and activate his 'hard control' skill.
Hearing his words and observing his actions, Lou Huiying understood his intentions.
"You? Against me? And you think you're capable?"
Lou Huiying scoffed, her eyes filled with contempt.
Hmm... But upon closer inspection, although the young man's features were obscured by his glasses, his build suggested that he was probably quite good-looking. It might be fun to toy with him a bit.
"Then let's give it a try and see if your fists are as tough as your mouth, little brother..."
Lou Huiying licked her lips.
Xue Jing remained silent, instead taking a deep breath and focusing on his breathing technique. He channeled his energy, causing his blood to surge and his body temperature to rise.
In his mind's eye, he envisioned a true dragon with wings unfurled, and a faint 'dragon aura' began to emanate from him.
Lou Huiying's eyebrows furrowed as she sensed something amiss.
Could this young man actually be... very strong?
"Who are you, anyway?" Lou Huiying demanded.
Xue Jing thought for a moment before replying with a smile, "You can call me... Wanhhao."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xue Jing activated his Twin Spirit speed and rushed towards Lou Huiying.
His speed defied logic, as if he had pressed a fast-forward button, and it had a certain degree of first-strike effect, catching almost anyone off-guard.
Lou Huiying was no exception. Lacking systematic martial arts training, she was severely lacking in vigilance, and she had no reaction to Xue Jing's lightning-fast approach.
"Bang!"
His fist sliced through the air, carrying momentum and power as it slammed into Lou Huiying's chin.
Her head snapped back from the force, but somehow, she managed to stay upright.
Xue Jing could tell from the impact just how tough this woman was. His eyes narrowed, and he channeled the power of the Twin Spirit, following up with a whip-like kick aimed at Lou Huiying's waist.
This strike could bend steel bars, and Lou Huiying was sent flying over three meters, crashing into a concrete wall that cracked under the impact.
With the advantage of the first move, Xue Jing pressed his attack, immediately giving chase. He activated his Twin Spirit speed again, closing the distance with Lou Huiying and unleashing a flurry of punches aimed at her face, showing no mercy.
The dull thud of bone-crunching blows filled the air.
First punch, and Lou Huiying's head was halfway embedded into the wall.
Second punch, it sank deeper.
A relentless barrage of fists followed, pounding her head further into the wall, the concrete cracking and crumbling around the growing cavity.
Finally, with a deafening crash, the wall gave way, collapsing into a heap of rubble, burying Lou Huiying beneath it.
Xue Jing panted slightly, eyeing his reddened knuckles with awe.
"Damn, that's tough..."
The onlooking residents, including Duan Kaiping's dozen or so underlings, stood with mouths agape, staring at the bespectacled youth, tall and proud as a pine tree.
"Is this a movie shoot or something?"
"Holy sht, that wall's completely smashed! Is Lou Jie still in one piece under there?"
"Damn, that's brutal! Even if she did start it, she's still a woman, and he's laying into her like that?"
"A vicious woman deserves a vicious beating!"
"Who the hell is that guy? Even Duan Kaiping got taken down by Lou Jie's bat, but he's got her on the ropes now?"
A slender arm emerged from the pile of rubble.
The debris shifted as Lou Huiying slowly pulled herself up, dust and concrete fragments raining down from her body.
Despite taking countless blows that would have been fatal to anyone else, her face, though bruised and discolored, remained defiantly intact.
"You little sht... You've really fcking pissed me off now!" Lou Huiying seethed, her words dripping with venom.
The black-flowered crown on her head emitted a subtle black aura, infusing her body with enhanced strength, her malicious intent growing with each passing moment.
Xue Jing regarded her with a grave expression, a thrill of excitement coursing through him.
This is what combat feels like!
Awesome!
With a furious roar, Lou Huiying surged to her feet, her powerful legs cracking the cement beneath her as she lunged at Xue Jing.
Though her technique was lacking, her explosive leg strength propelled her forward at incredible speed, her hand reaching for Xue Jing.
So close, almost there...
Lou Huiying's lips curled into a grotesque grin, saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth.
If she caught him, she swore she'd tear this boy limb from limb!
But just as her grasp was about to close around him, Xue Jing took a single step back, leaving her clutching at thin air.
In the next moment, Xue Jing seized her golden hair, yanking her head down with a sharp tug.
As her head snapped down, Xue Jing, fueled by his Twin Spirit power, drove his knee into her face with bone-shattering force.
Her head, which had just stopped moving, was sent flying upward again, and even Lou Huiying couldn't suppress a pained cry as blood gushed from her nose.
But her rage only intensified, and with a powerful twist of her waist, she halted her backward momentum, spinning around to grab Xue Jing's wrist.
Before she could act further, however, Xue Jing's other hand shot forward, his finger jabbing at her eye.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Chi energy surged, focusing at his fingertip, and this deadly strike, enough to kill anyone, struck her soft eyeball, causing unbearable pain. Lou Huiying immediately released Xue Jing's wrist, covering her eye and screaming in agony.
Xue Jing's mind echoed with Li Qi's teachings.
"Whether it's underhanded or vicious, if it wins, any move is fair game. Only the last man standing has the right to speak!"
Xue Jing's eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he delivered a brutal Spartan kick to Lou Huiying's lower abdomen.
Not just a man's, but a woman's groin was also an enormous weak point!
