"Run fast," the leader bellowed urgently.

Over a dozen people took to their heels, no one dared to engage in a bloody battle with Zhou Kai and his group. The crowd sprinted towards the hall of Eight Horses Tea House. There were a few men guarding outside the main gate, but they saw the defense line at the gate easily collapsing and their own brothers retreating as well.

"What are you waiting for, run!" Seeing this, the men at the door fled as well.

Upstairs in the tea room, Feng Taibao was about to go downstairs and head home when he heard a chaotic mix of shouting and fighting coming from below. Before he could react, a flustered underling rushed in, running and shouting, "Taibao, it's bad news, Lin Chuan is leading people here to attack."

Feng Taibao was slightly stunned, then sneered, "As expected, he still came."

"Taibao, what should we do now?" the underling asked anxiously.

"What can we do? Meet force with force, meet water with earth," Feng Taibao replied with a calm smile.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and Long Wu along with a few other Hall Masters from the Thirteen Grand Protectors rushed in quickly. This bunch brought quite a number of people. As soon as Long Wu entered, he saw Lin Chuan and Zhao Zhonghai standing together, and Long Wu taunted, "Lin Chuan, you rat, bold enough to storm into Eight Horses Tea House."

"So?" Lin Chuan glanced at him.

"Brothers, strike them down!" Long Wu roared.

Straightaway, a crowd surged forward.

The situation on the scene became complicated again, as Zhou Kai and his group faced an attack from both front and back. Thus, Lin Chuan and Zhao Zhonghai could no longer stand idly by. Once the two made a move, their power was evident. As people rushed forward, Zhao Zhonghai took his stance and struck down one after another, defeating pairs as they came.

Lin Chuan appeared much more agile than Zhao Zhonghai. He leapt, his legs like scissors. In an instant, he kicked two people flying. These two, following the angle set by Lin Chuan, flew out and in that instant struck the people behind them. Four went down together.

Although Long Wu was at the very front, when the underlings from behind surged forward, Long Wu intentionally slowed down, even taking a couple of steps back. When this lad dashed forward, his eyes flicked around, apparently looking for a suitable cover. Long Wu knew how formidable Lin Chuan was; after all, in Jiangbei City, the first person to be severely beaten by Lin Chuan was Long Wu himself. He profoundly knew the strength of this lad. Sure enough, the four people in front of him were sent flying.

Boom…

One person fell in front of Long Wu, scaring him into retreating several steps.

"Damn, that scared the hell out of me," Long Wu exclaimed, hastily retreating several steps.

"Long Wu, you leading a retreat?" one Hall Master glared at Long Wu.

"No no no," Long Wu quickly shook his head, saying, "I wasn't retreating, I was...I was making a detour."

"Making a detour and yet you retreat?" the Hall Master stared angrily at Long Wu, saying, "Stop making excuses, every time there's a fight, you always hide and duck."

"Damn, retreating isn't making a detour?" Long Wu argued, gritting his teeth, "The earth is round, if I run back, I can definitely make a detour."

A few Hall Masters were instantly stupefied. Damn it, they had seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless. Perhaps, this was the first time in their lives they heard someone describe fleeing with such an inspirational twist.

"If you dare take another step back, tomorrow you'll be kicked out the door," a few of them snorted coldly.

"To charge is to charge, what's the big deal." Clutching a watermelon knife, Long Wu charged at Lin Chuan swiftly.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan sneered, agilely dodged Long Wu's knife, and grabbed him by the neck with one hand. At this moment, Long Wu hurriedly said, "Brother, brother, go easy, go easy…"

Bang…

Lin Chuan kicked upwards, striking his abdomen. Long Wu immediately rolled away.

"Ouch…" Long Wu screamed in pain, then closed his eyes pretending to be unconscious.

"Useless!" a few Hall Masters swore.

Long Wu clearly heard the curses of the Hall Masters and a sly smile crept on his lips. He stealthily opened a slit, saw the Hall Masters charging forward, hurriedly crawled out, then found a place to hide.

"Damn it, you have the guts to fight, I'm surely not their match," Long Wu sneered disdainfully.

The scene was intense, even the capable Hall Masters who went up ended in a miserable state. Once Lin Chuan launched his Tendon Separating Bone Shifting Hand, the Hall Masters also collapsed weakly. None of them could get up.

With Lin Chuan and Zhao Zhonghai around, the brothers' morale remained very high. The situation on the scene turned dire swiftly.

The opposing forces were beaten so badly that they couldn't withstand the assault. A group of them could only keep retreating while fighting.

At this moment, Feng Taibao, with a jade cigarette holder in his mouth, came downstairs, walking lightly in a white Tang suit, still wearing those old Beijing cloth shoes. When Feng Taibao appeared, a few Hall Masters, enduring the pain, stood up and walked towards him.

Knowing Lin Chuan's techniques, Feng Taibao was naturally able to help reset the dislocated bones for them. The faces of the Hall Masters were pale, and sweat poured from them; such pain was not something ordinary people could endure. Gritting their teeth, they cursed, "Damn it, it hurts like hell."

At this point, the underlings of the Thirteen Grand Protectors stepped aside, and Zhou Kai and his group also stopped their pursuit.

Lin Chuan walked forward, and Zhou Kai's group cleared a path, the leaders of both sides faced each other. Feng Taibao seemed a little gloomy, but thinking about his unique weapon, he still felt somewhat confident. Even if he could not defeat Lin Chuan in hand-to-hand combat, with this unique weapon, he was more than capable of winning.

"Lin Chuan, what do you mean by this today?" Feng Taibao asked coldly.

"Revenge!" Lin Chuan spat out two words.

Feng Taibao's face darkened, saying, "So, you mean to make an enemy of me?"

"Should the humiliation of that day just be forgotten?" Lin Chuan asked coldly.

"What do you want then?" Feng Taibao asked.

"There were three powers in the eastern district of the city; from now on, there will only be two!" Lin Chuan replied contemptuously, taking a deep drag from his cigarette.

"What big words you have!" Feng Taibao said, infuriated.

"Oh, just came out with brushed teeth," Lin Chuan replied indifferently.

—Pu...

Zhou Kai and the others covered their mouths and laughed; despite the tense atmosphere, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Feng Taibao was extremely angry, he cursed loudly, "Lin Chuan, don't really think you're the third biggest deal in the eastern district. I tell you, in front of me, Feng Taibao, you're less than a dog!"

"You can't beat me," Lin Chuan replied, "so, you're even less than ****."

"You!" Feng Taibao was rendered speechless by Lin Chuan's sharp tongue.

"Feng Taibao, if you surrender, I might spare you some physical pain; if you don't surrender, hmph!" Lin Chuan's voice was very cold.

"What then?" Feng Taibao roared.

"Then don't blame me for being rude," Lin Chuan smiled, flexing his fists and feet, saying, "I'll beat you so bad even your mother won't recognize you."

"Damn!" Feng Taibao, usually a composed person, was driven to fury by Lin Chuan.

Feng Taibao launched his punches immediately, knowing he was not Lin Chuan's match, but still couldn't help but exchange a few moves with Lin Chuan. Feng Taibao was quick on his feet, and obviously very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, regretfully, he was facing a top-notch master like Lin Chuan, so his defeat was inevitable.

—Bang bang...

All his moves were easily neutralized by Lin Chuan. Within a couple of moves, Feng Taibao could no longer keep up. Lin Chuan's speed and agility, as well as his strength were several notches above Feng Taibao's. Feng Taibao tried using softness to overcome hardness. However, even the elasticity like a rubber band has its limits of force endurance.

Using softness to overcome hardness.

It's not that softness can always overcome hardness, when the force of hardness exceeds the limit that softness can bear, it also leads to a miserable failure. Rubber bands will break, and steel rods will snap.

Feng Taibao's Tai Chi Bagua Fist was vigorous and full of momentum. Sixteen diagrams, thirty-two diagrams, sixty-four diagrams…

Despite the might of Feng Taibao's Tai Chi, it still couldn't stop Lin Chuan's assault.

Lin Chuan broke through the defense of the Tai Chi Bagua with extremely tricky angles. When Lin Chuan's hand slapped on Feng Taibao's arm, the next second, Feng Taibao's wrist was dislocated immediately, causing him a great shock. He kicked his legs, attempting to escape the range of Lin Chuan's attack.

"Thinking of running?" Lin Chuan hooked up a sinister smile, saying, "It won't be that easy."

After speaking, he leaped forward, catching Feng Taibao's arm immediately and fiercely pulling in his direction.

Feng Taibao was shocked, he quickly set his stance to stabilize his core. He tried to retrieve his arm, but Lin Chuan kept pulling him tightly, making it impossible for him to break free. He could only grit his teeth and endure.
