"What..." the bodyguard was dumbstruck before letting out an enraged snort. "Hmph! I was only testing you out! Let's fight for real this time!" he said and retreated a few steps to the back.
"Fine by me. Though a single finger is all I need to defeat someone like you, just like before." Duan Li shrugged his shoulder and replied with a non-chalant voice.
"Bastard! Do you dare to tell me who you are? Stop hiding behind that mask!" the bodyguard was incensed and his body trembled with rage.
How dare this lowly peasant from the Jiu Empire want to play around with me!
Hearing this, Duan Li chuckled as he shook his head, "I'm only using this mask so that you lot would not be scared. Enough nonsense, a fight you want, a fight you will get. So why talk so much? Is it that only your mouth could run faster than your fists?"
As if to provoke the bodyguard further, Duan Li put one of his hands to his back with another hand extending forward, the rest of his fingers curled with only his index finger protruding out like the tip of a sword!
"You! Don't you dare regret this!" the bodyguard then flitted left and right, his movements much faster than before!
Hahaha! Do you see this? I can circle around you and attack any openings you have easily!
The crowd that watched this was astonished. This was especially the case for a young boy and he couldn't help but to ask his father, "Father, why is that man moving left and right like that and not walking straight? He looks like father when father is drunk!"
The father then promptly replied sternly, "Hais, how can that be? Your father's movements are far more graceful than that! If my eyes of discernment are not deceiving me, that man was born handicapped on either of his legs. Unwilling to be humiliated by his peers, he must have eventually developed this strange movement skill in order to compete!"
Pu!
My legs are handicapped? Handicapped your head!
The bodyguard circling around Duan Li happened to overheard this conversation of theirs, causing his previously energetic tempo to immediately becoming disrupted as he accidentally stepped over his other foot and fell down!
As luck would have it, the moment he fell down, he seemed to grab onto something and pulled it along.
Shaa!!
"Ahh!" several women that watched this couldn't help but to scream out.
"Fool! What are you doing?!" Cheng Mao's face was scarlet red in embarrassment. To think that his bodyguard would trip like that and pulled down his pants along with it...
This is a shameful display!
"Beat him up!" Cheng Mao furiously bellowed. Now that his little brother was exposed to the public like that, his entire demeanor turned into a fluster as he commanded his other three bodyguards to pummel the perpetrator.
Bam! Bam!
"..." Duan Li.
I didn't even need a single a finger..
Stunned into a daze by this, Duan Li could not help but to turn towards the direction of the father and son that were conversing just now, giving them a nod of approval.
"What a formidable father and son, to think that their mere words could tumble down the enemy just like that.. I must recommend them to Utmost Being if any needs were to arise to appoint some new strategic advisor!"
"Enough! Now beat him up! I want you guys to tear down his clothes too while you are at it! These savages needs to be put into an example for others to see!" Cheng Mao pointed towards Duan Li with gritted teeth.
It was all because of this man suddenly intruding on his show!
Tap! Tap!
The three bodyguards nodded to each other as they spread out to corner Duan Li in three different directions, each displaying a unique sets of movement.
"Interesting. Nevertheless, all it took would be a single finger of mine to defeat you three!" Duan Li said as he chuckled with an unperturbed expression.
Inwardly however, Duan Li could not help but to give a positive remark, "The Doulou Empire's prestige for martial arts is definitely not exaggerated! Even each of his bodyguards could possess this unique fighting style!"
"Arrogant!"
"Reckless!"
All the three bodyguards sneered when they heard this.
Let's see how you will be able to deal with our formation!
Shaa! Shaa!
Three Claws Hooking The Prey!
This was a collaborative attack formation that the three of them had practiced for a very long time.
With this formation, they could attack their target in three different directions at the same time, minimizing the escape route of their enemy!
Unless if their opponents were experts of martial arts, they would find it difficult to escape from this predicament!
They were initially confident that Duan Li wouldn't be able to escape. But Duan Li's next move had them instantly paled!
This was because Duan Li had charged forward to attack one of them, specifically their companions that was attacking with a high kick!
"Sh*t!" they instantly grimaced.
With a decisive poke into the achilles tendon of the bodyguard, Duan Li had immediately rendered the other party incapable of delivering an attack as the latter found the strength on that foot of his dispersing!
Next, Duan Li did a 180 degrees turn and angled his elbow. Borrowing the force of this movement, Duan Li then thrusted his index finger into one of the acupoints on the next bodyguard's forearm, causing the latter's muscles to immediately becoming numb and was stopped in its motion.
"Ahh! Get out of the way!" the last bodyguard screamed in horror as he was in midair delivering a scissor kick! With two of his companions suddenly freezing on the spot, he would hit them if Duan Li were to side step to the left!
Tap!
And his prediction was spot on!
Duan Li did a side step to avoid him. However, what he did not expect was that Duan Li jabbed his index finger into his glutes muscles, causing his scissor kick to slightly change its form.
KACHA!!
The faces of the three bodyguards was drained of blood and their expression contorted hideously.
After all, the bodyguard with a scissor kick had just crushed the b*lls of his two companions, while his own b*lls was smashed open by his other companions that had their fist frozen in midair!
The pain was so great that even their scream had reached the highest pitch level that could not be heard by humans.
Hiss!!
The crowd sucked in cold air and their eyes widened in shock! Everything happened almost instantaneously in front of their eyes, and by the time they could finally see clearly, Duan Li's opponent was already in such a state!
"Father, why are they hurting each other? Do they have spare b*lls to play around like that?" the innocent young boy asked his father.
The father shook his head, "Hais! How can that be? Look closely my son, their b*ll were not there in the first place! Your father here suspects that they had long lost their b*lls as a man the moment they served that young man over there."
"Is that so father? Your son here finally understands! In the future, would more of his bodyguards have to part away with their b*lls in order to serve that man father?" the boy asked another question with an earnest look.
The father nodded with a gentle smile as he pat his son's head before replying, "Indeed! That young man was born castrated as part of an ancient ritual. In order to man up and fill the emptiness in his heart, he required the b*lls of others to be sacrificed to him."
He then continued with a pitiful sigh, "Hais! That young man's fate is truly tragic! How can collecting the b*lls of others compare to having one's own b*lls?"
Pu!
The three bodyguards that heard this felt a sweet sensation pulsating in their throat before they spurted out blood and fainted with an indignant expression.
Meanwhile, Cheng Mao also choked on himself and somehow felt a numbing sensation on his own b*lls, as if someone was about to rip it off from the sack!
"Y-You! How dare you lay your dirty hands on my bodyguards? This is a crime! Help! Street patrols! This person is trying to revolt against the law!" Cheng Mao's face was ashen as he stumbled on himself and fell on his bottom, screaming for help.
Duan Li could not help but to shake his head upon seeing this shameful display.
"Halt! What did you do to him? Speak!" a thunderous voice could be heard from the distance as an elderly man that seemed to be in his late 60s strode forward.
"Uncle!" Cheng Mao's pale face instantly brightened before turning to look at Duan Li with derision.
You're finished!
