Chapter 216: Grasping the Intent
The most crucial thing is that the young miss already nodded at Chen Tianlong, the two just acted out a scene. If he were to back down now, the young miss would surely be utterly disgraced.
"Chen Tianlong, it’s up to you now."
Lin Wushuang didn’t want to speak harshly at someone else’s birthday party, but just this one sentence was enough to make Chen Tianlong understand that he needed to give a proper lesson.
After grasping the young miss’s intent, Chen Tianlong smiled faintly. This Cao Meng was indeed unlucky to run into him today. Truly unfortunate.
"Don’t worry, Wushuang, he’s not a match for me."
Chen Tianlong’s blatant provocation made the overly confident Cao Meng beside him instantly furious.
Daring to say such big words in front of him, only Chen Tianlong would. Back in the army, he was a top-notch expert, a free combat champion among special forces.
"Hmph, go ahead and act tough, but don’t blame me for being ruthless later." Cao Meng wasn’t polite either; anyway, the harsh words were said upfront, and it was Chen Tianlong who provoked first.
"Why are you so long-winded? Like a woman."
Chen Tianlong lightly lifted his head, glanced at Cao Meng, and said somewhat disdainfully.
"You... damn it, who are you calling a woman?"
Cao Meng was about to explode with anger; being called a woman by Chen Tianlong in front of so many people, if he didn’t vent this, he might as well change his name to Grasshopper.
"Whoever is long-winded, that’s who!"
Chen Tianlong smirked playfully, already prepared to fight.
If this Cao Meng was a special forces soldier, he definitely couldn’t be underestimated. He had encountered these special forces before; they were quite troublesome, to say the least.
"Very well, you’ve successfully angered me,"
Cao Meng could no longer tolerate it. He originally planned to play around with Chen Tianlong, just to make his girlfriend Tang Xiaoyan happy, showing off his might.
But now it was different. This Chen Tianlong really made him angry. If he didn’t beat him up, it would be hard to contain the surging ferocity within him.
"Hah!"
Chen Tianlong snorted coldly.
Sure enough, as soon as Cao Meng finished speaking, he dived forward ferociously toward Chen Tianlong.
Whoa!
Chen Tianlong jumped in surprise, thinking this guy must be a practitioner of Southern Fist, even coming at him with a diving belly punch.
Luckily, Chen Tianlong’s reaction speed was fast enough; otherwise, if he got punched in the abdomen, he might end up vomiting his dinner.
"Oh wow, not bad, you actually dodged!"
Cao Meng looked at Chen Tianlong scornfully, thinking that Chen Tianlong was just avoiding, not daring to fight.
"Ha, just like a woman, throw a punch and then talk for minutes, when will it end?"
Chen Tianlong said breezily.
"Pfft!"
Lin Wushuang couldn’t help it any longer, this Chen Tianlong was truly funny, his verbal jabs were incredibly sharp, infuriating people without them realizing it.
"Cao Meng, what are you doing, messing around? Quickly take down that damned boy, it’s really infuriating."
Tang Xiaoyan couldn’t sit still anymore. Her boyfriend being called a woman by someone else, it was so embarrassing for her, acting like a woman herself.
Cao Meng, urged by Tang Xiaoyan, became anxious and looked at Chen Tianlong with more vicious eyes. He gritted his teeth, evidently planning to unleash a major move.
Only to see him spread his feet apart, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
Chen Tianlong frowned; this posture reminded him of a certain style he had seen before.
Whoa!
Could it be Qi Cultivation?
With a puzzled mind, Chen Tianlong quickly got into position. If it was Qi Cultivation, he couldn’t recklessly take the move, lest he suffer greatly. After all, he wasn’t an Ancient Martial Cultivator and had to be cautious when dealing with Qi Cultivation.
Indeed, he was an assassin, but he was still dealing with a special forces soldier.
Strictly speaking, there wasn’t much of a power gap between the two of them.
While pondering this, Cao Meng, filled with rage, swiftly punched at Chen Tianlong.
No way, this time Chen Tianlong had to confront him instead of dodging. If he kept dodging, it wouldn’t look good for the young miss either. So he gathered all his strength and swiftly unleashed his right hand.
"Boom!"
The two clashed, but didn’t immediately separate, standing firm on the ground without moving.
The onlookers widened their eyes, that muffled sound was clearly from two fists colliding, what kind of strength did it take to make such a noise?
Especially Lin Wushuang, she felt almost breathless.
To be honest, when she had Chen Tianlong step in just now, she was a bit apprehensive. After all, the opponent was a retired special forces soldier, reputedly quite a formidable guy from the army.
"Heart-Piercing Fist!"
Chen Tianlong felt a strong force rushing toward his arm, the bones in his right hand cracking and popping; this powerful force evidently had brilliant penetrating power.
Feeling the force hit him, Chen Tianlong’s arm was stung with pain.
But soon it vanished.
Because Chen Tianlong suddenly felt his right arm experiencing something unusual. Not only did the pain stop, but he also felt his arm instantly filled with strength, an immense urge to explode.
From previous experience, Chen Tianlong didn’t suppress this energy.
Though he didn’t know why his arm did this, every time it took a heavy hit, it would produce this miraculous power, instantly hardening the muscles and granting immense strength.
"Heh heh."
Cao Meng sensed the anomaly in Chen Tianlong, clearly from the painful impact of his powerful force.
So, at this moment, Cao Meng was very complacent. His Heart-Piercing Fist, every strike landed squarely, and few could withstand three punches from him, and this was just the beginning. The next two punches would be heavier each time.
Cao Meng didn’t delay much, seizing the moment, he withdrew his arm, planning to strike again.
But, the next moment, he was stunned.
As Cao Meng retracted his hand, Chen Tianlong’s right fist miraculously followed up quickly, Cao Meng never expected that after being hit, Chen Tianlong could still throw a punch, so he hurriedly struck back.
"Boom!"
This sound wasn’t a dull thud but a thunderous crash.
Everyone present, including the handsome guys and beautiful girls playing elsewhere in the hall, had now gathered around.
Cao Meng just gave his Tang Xiaoyan a smile, indicating that the match was about to end, and Chen Tianlong would be beaten terribly.
But, in the moment of his smugness, he suddenly felt like he was hitting a giant iron hammer. Instinctively he glanced up. Chen Tianlong’s fist, veins bulging, had an intimidating aura.
This was not the end.
Crack!
Five seconds after the collision, suddenly everyone heard a series of bone-breaking sounds, and a bone jutted out from Cao Meng’s right shoulder, directly poking through.
"Ah!"
The girls quickly covered their eyes upon seeing, such a bloody, disgusting scene.
Even Lin Wushuang was stunned.
What happened here?
Just from a punch, he actually broke the guy’s bone, this... this is so damn incredible!
