Lin Chuan looked into Feng Taibao's eyes as if he understood his intentions. He smiled and said, "Alright, it's a deal."

"Come here." Feng Taibao smiled and said, "Today, your target is Lin Chuan. Beat him until he submits."

"Yes!" Long Wu laughed upon hearing this.

Long Wu knew how formidable Lin Chuan was; hence, he didn't dare to charge first. He stood behind the crowd and waved his hand, "Brothers, go get him. Take this guy down for me."

"Roar roar roar!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Immediately after, a group of people charged forward.

At this moment, Lin Chuan finished smoking a cigarette, flicking away the cigarette butt. In fact, his eyes had never left Feng Taibao. Feng Taibao's mockery and disdain were all observed by him. Today, since bets were placed, naturally, he had to win.

Swoosh...

Lin Chuan suddenly stepped forward.

Crack...

A minion facing him had his arm grabbed by Lin Chuan, who then performed a sliding step, his hands wildly tapping on the minion's back. Shortly after, the minion fell down limply.

The second one... the third one...

Lin Chuan was like a dancer on the dance floor, displaying his peerless, exquisite dance steps, showcasing his unparalleled agility with deep inner strength. In this vast, open area, Lin Chuan elegantly moved through the crowd.

One by one, people fell, causing a sort of panic at the scene.

Long Wu was also shocked by Lin Chuan's technique; he didn't understand what kind of magic Lin Chuan had used that made those minions unable to get up again, and could only lie limply on the ground, wailing in agony.

"Holy crap, what... what is going on?" Long Wu exclaimed.

"Long, let's all go together and teach this kid a lesson," some minions shouted from the side.

"Go, go, get him for me!" Long Wu didn't care about anything else.

Then, Long Wu commanded the crowd to surround Lin Chuan from all directions. The tactic of overwhelming numbers is considered a winning strategy by everyone. However, this tactic was utterly ineffective against Lin Chuan. Facing the attack of dozens or even hundreds of people, Lin Chuan remained agile; he easily dodged between the gaps of these people and moved freely despite their attacks.

Slap slap...

One after another, people fell as soon as Lin Chuan's hands touched them, immediately causing them to collapse limply. It made others think it looked like a weighty curse, a sort of Western magic spell. Only one person there understood what it was.

"My god, is Brother Chuan performing magic?" Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.

"This isn't magic." Zhao Zhonghai said solemnly.

"Then... what is this?" Lu Dapao quickly asked. "Such awesome skills, it looks so effortless and his steps so nimble, just like an elusive loach. If we could learn this move, damn, would we still need to train so hard? Would we still need to fight bloodily with the enemy? Just by touching them with our hands, we would have them subdued!"

"You think it's that easy?" Zhao Zhonghai scornfully said.

"Is it very difficult?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Of course." Zhao Zhonghai sneered: "The skills that look effortless and easy on the surface are, in reality, the most complex and difficult to master. For instance, Tai Chi Boxing. This style of boxing emphasizes using softness to overcome hardness. From the outside, this style seems very gentle and simple. In reality, to achieve true softness overcoming hardness, without a decade of hard practice, it's impossible."

"So... what is Brother Chuan using?" Lu Dapao urgently asked.

"This should be a lesser-known skill called Tendon Separating Bone Shifting Hand from the military district." Zhao Zhonghai squinted and said, "The power of this skill lies in needing a hundred percent knowledge of the human body's bones and meridians; even a slight mistake is unacceptable."

"That powerful?" Lu Dapao exclaimed. "Tendon Separating Bone Shifting Hand, wow, just the name feels thrilling."

"These obscure skills aren't something ordinary people can learn. One must go through military selections, and finally, pass a leader's review to learn it," Zhao Zhonghai sneered. "As you can see, Lin Chuan's role in the army was certainly not ordinary."

"Wow..." The crowd was astounded.

Tendon Separating Bone Shifting Hand is capable of dislocating the enemy's joints and stripping their bones in an instant. It can kill invisibly, bloodlessly. While these skills are generally not fatal, they can easily take a target's life during assassination missions. Just by displacing the opponent's Adam's apple, one can instantly cause the windpipe to close, suffocating them to death without making any sound.

Although this method of killing is advantageous, its downside is also obvious; it requires close proximity to the enemy, and it must be performed when no one else is around. Hence, while the method is good, it is still quite difficult to implement.

Now, Lin Chuan was using this skill in combat against enemies.

On the ground, more than twenty people had already fallen. These people undoubtedly had their arms disabled by Lin Chuan, their hands unable to move, causing their bodies to lose balance. After falling, without their hands to support them, they simply couldn't stand up again.

"Damn it, how can this be?!" Long Wu was even more astonished.

Facing his minions falling one after another, Long Wu was somewhat shocked and even terrified. He did not understand what method Lin Chuan had used to make these minions fall. Lin Chuan's mystery and weirdness made the Thirteen Grand Protectors' minions fearful and apprehensive too. The remaining few dozen people circled Lin Chuan but did not attack; wherever Lin Chuan went, they moved there in response.

Feng Taibao squinted his eyes, seeing through Lin Chuan's techniques. He knew Lin Chuan had disarmed those underlings' arms in a short amount of time, but he was somewhat puzzled by the mysterious and profound skills. Where exactly had Lin Chuan learned such skills from?

Gululu...

Feng Taibao swallowed his saliva, his cigarette holder untouched for quite a while. He understood that with his own abilities, he couldn't possibly contend against Lin Chuan. Meanwhile, Lin Chuan's battle continued, facing the attack of hundreds, he stood alone, towering among them.

Soon, one after another, his opponents fell. Though battle-tested, they were utterly fragile before this War God. They fell upon mere contact. Before long, half of the hundreds had fallen, and the remaining peripheral disciples were too terrified to continue and ran away swiftly, no one daring to advance.

"Don't run, damn it, don't run!" Long Wu shouted, scratching his head frantically. These bastards were too unreliable, to run off like that! Is money that easy to earn?

These peripheral disciples were paid just for show, never experiencing such scenes before.

The crowd scattered quickly, and soon there was no one left.

Lin Chuan dusted his clothes off and walked slowly towards Feng Taibao. Long Wu was stuck in the middle feeling miserable, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. If he went forward, it was clear that he was no match for Lin Chuan, and going forward would mean certain death.

"Ah, my head is so dizzy!" Long Wu hastily clutched his head, exclaiming, "My high blood pressure is acting up, my high blood pressure is acting up."

Thud...

Long Wu immediately fell down.

Pfft...

Everyone immediately burst into laughter.

"This guy, he's just a joker."

"Long Wu is naturally a coward, afraid of death."

Zhou Kai and others disdainfully cursed.

"Useless trash!" Feng Taibao cursed irritably, frustrated by Long Wu's lack of finesse.

Lin Chuan walked over slowly, then spoke up, "Feng Taibao, tonight, only one of us can remain."

"You want a fight to the death?" Feng Taibao gritted his teeth.

"You exaggerate," Lin Chuan shook his head, "The situation of three powers must come to an end. Our people are destined to replace you."

"Don't even think about it!" Long Wu yelled angrily.

"Hmph!" Lin Chuan let out a cold laugh and said, "Come out and fight."

Feng Taibao donned a linen Tang suit, stepping on a pair of scornful Old Beijing shoes, holding an expensive jade cigarette holder, and scoffed, "Okay, it's been a while since I flexed my muscles, today might be a good chance to loosen up a bit."

Saying this, Feng Taibao walked out slowly.

"This... does Feng Taibao know martial arts too?" Zhou Kai asked in surprise.

"Hmph, what do you think?" Zhao Zhonghai scoffed coldly, "Just look at his hands, feet, and his eyes, you can tell he's seasoned."

"Is he more formidable or is brother Chuan more formidable?" Lu Dapao asked eagerly.

"Isn't that obvious?" Zhou Kai burst out, "Of course, brother Chuan is formidable. This Feng Taibao is nothing. Look at brother Chuan, his skills as ethereal as a ghost have terrified these people."

"Right, right!" Lu Dapao nodded hastily.

The remaining dozens of brothers quickly stood in front of Feng Taibao. One man in black spoke, "Boss, with your precious body, how can you afford to engage with a crude man like Lin Chuan?"

"Before I entered the path, I was also a crude man," Feng Taibao smiled, "I, too, climbed out from a pile of dead bodies."

"This..." The man felt somewhat awkward.

Many people knew that Feng Taibao was a lay disciple of Tai Chi Sect, with countless ties to the Tai Chi Sect. Tai Chi Sect is a branch of Tai Chi Boxing, with many disciples, and Feng Taibao was one of them. Every year, Feng Taibao would personally visit the Tai Chi Sect to receive guidance from his master. And he knew Feng Taibao's strength was extraordinary, always concealing his true power. He didn't understand why, faced with Lin Chuan, Feng Taibao could not stay calm?

Feng Taibao handed the jade cigarette holder to Long Wu, saying, "Keep this safe for me."

"Yes, Boss!" Long Wu nodded hastily.

Feng Taibao rolled up his sleeves and walked over to Lin Chuan, legs apart, adopting a defensive stance, and said, "Come on!"

"Looks like you're also well-trained!" Lin Chuan laughed.

"Less nonsense!" Feng Taibao switched from defense to attack, leaping forward with a swift speed. Though his frame was robust, his agility was unexpectedly high. Lin Chuan took two steps back, his palm fiercely hitting the opponent's incoming flying kick.
