The large man was subdued by Anna, forced to kneel, unable to move, cold sweat pouring down.
"Youâre no match for me."
Anna said coldly, pushing him, and the man fell to the ground.
The large man, red-faced, scrambled up and quickly retreated. Losing to a woman in front of so many people was truly humiliating.
Feng Wanshan clapped his hands, "Not bad, your subordinate is very capable. It seems I need to bring out my skilled experts. Tianming, bring out Master Liu!"
Two people emerged from the darkness nearby.
Lin Fan recognized one of them, Feng Wanshanâs son, Feng Tianming. The other was a middle-aged man, fat, wearing traditional Tang attire, with an arrogant demeanor, looking the part of a master.
Looking at the appearance of this middle-aged man in Tang attire, he seemed quite intimidating.
Feng Tianming looked at Lin Fan smugly, "Brat, I suffered at school today, youâll pay double!"
Lin Fan sized up Master Liu and laughed, "Boss Feng, whatâs this guyâs background?"
Before Feng Wanshan could speak, Feng Tianming said, "Master Liu is a Qi Gong master, proficient in striking with force from a distance. Even several meters away, one strike can make you vomit blood!"
Only then did Lin Fan glance at Feng Tianming, saying coldly, "Iâm talking to Boss Feng, you useless loser, why are you interrupting?"
Feng Tianming was furious, "You!"
Feng Wanshan chuckled, "Tianming explained it well. Master Liuâs Qi Gong is truly astonishing; Iâve personally witnessed it today."
Feng Tianming snorted, "In a bit, Iâll deal with you slowly!"
Lin Fan was curious, a Qi Gong master who can strike with force from a distance? How unreliable it sounded; could anyone really harm others from afar?
Nowadays, many so-called Qi Gong masters are just charlatans, and only fools with more money than sense fall for it. Who knows if this Master Liu is also a fraud?
"Anna, engage with him, be careful," Lin Fan said, just as well to let Anna verify it. After all, Anna is Feng Wanshanâs person, so he didnât care.
Feng Wanshan respectfully said to Master Liu, "Master Liu, please go easy on them later, just teach them a lesson. I donât want any fatalities."
Master Liu snorted, "Sorry, traditional martial arts from Huaxia are killing techniques. When I strike, itâs hard to ensure no casualties, but Iâll do my best to avoid it."
Feng Wanshan wiped his cold sweat, "Alright, you heard him, Master Liu striking means life and death are uncertain. You better weigh this carefully."
Lin Fan chuckled, "Whatâs with all the talk? Whether youâre a master or not, weâll only know after a fight!"
Feng Tianming was fuming, "This brat is too cocky! Master Liu, please, give this brat a proper beating so he knows his place!"
Master Liu was someone he found. Lin Fanâs disdain for Master Liu was like looking down on him, making him very angry.
Master Liu sized up Anna coldly, "I never fight women. Seeing youâre a woman, Iâll give you 10 seconds to surrender. Admit defeat, and you will avoid suffering."
Anna said coldly, "Stop the chatter, Master, right? Bring it on!"
Master Liu shook his head, "Truly clueless, it seems I need to show you some skills. Dali, come out!"
A fat man walked out from behind Master Liu, skillfully keeping a few metersâ distance from Master Liu.
Master Liu began to perform Qi Gong, each move oozing with the aura of a master.
Once his Qi Gong exercise was complete, Master Liu shouted, striking out with both palms at the air.
"Ah!"
The fat man groaned heavily, took a few staggering steps back, lost balance, and fell to the ground, vomiting blood, his face turning pale in an instant.
Striking with force from a distance, hitting without contact!
Everyone around was wide-eyed, they couldnât believe it. That really could hurt someone from afar, this Qi Gong was immensely powerful!
"Oh my, is there really such a powerful Qi Gong master in the world?"
"Iâve opened my eyes!"
"Too strong, our side is sure to win this time!"
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
Feng Tianming felt quite proud, looking at Lin Fan, "Brat, frightened out of your wits? You should be, Master Liu was hired by me specifically for revenge!"
Master Liu glanced at Lin Fan and Anna, initially thinking that after showing a bit of skill, they would be scared into submission.
But Lin Fan and Anna showed no signs of kneeling.
Master Liu couldnât help but coldly say, "Youâve seen my skills, are you still insisting on fighting me? That was only ten percent of my power just now. Thankfully, my disciple is robust and could barely take one strike. I doubt a woman like you could withstand it. If you donât want to die, admitting defeat is your only option!"
Anna spat, "Enough with the nonsense. If youâre done talking, letâs get started!"
Feng Wanshan frowned slightly. Master Liu had already shown his strength, and Anna only needed to âsensiblyâ admit defeat to end this matter.
But Anna didnât do so.
This made Feng Wanshan somewhat displeased, though he, of course, couldnât point it out directly.
"Looks like you wonât stop until you see the coffin! Mr. Lin, will you just watch as your subordinate gets seriously injured? Master Liu has already said, once he strikes, life and death are uncertain!" Feng Wanshan said.
Lin Fan smiled, "Why, Boss Feng seems quite concerned about my subordinate?"
Feng Wanshan snorted, "I just donât want any fatalities. Lin Fan, since youâre so ignorant, donât blame me. Master Liu, please proceed!"
Master Liu nodded, maintaining an arrogant demeanor throughout, as if looking down on everything.
"In that case, I have to make my move." Master Liu said, taking a few steps forward and beginning to channel his energy.
Immediately, everyoneâs attention was riveted on the battle. Everyone thought that Master Liu had already shown his strength and would easily defeat Anna.
No matter how skilled Anna was, she couldnât compete with a Qi Gong master.
Anna, however, seemed to ignore the terrifying aura of Master Liu as he prepared, clenching her fist and advancing straight towards him.
She quickly closed the distance, and in no time was right in front of Master Liu.
Master Liu sneered, "The reason I strike with force from a distance is to reduce damage to my opponent. Now that you choose to fight up close, youâll only get hurt worse!"
Anna coldly stared at him, "Have you finished preparing your power? Can I make a move now?"
Master Liu replied, "In such close combat, once Iâm done channeling, youâre certain to die. You still have time to surrender now, but soon you wonât!"
Anna said, "Stop wasting words, let me know when youâre ready."
Seeing Anna showed no intention of surrendering, Master Liu sighed, "Alright, if you wish to seek death, I canât help it."
He moved his hands for a moment, finally adopting a stance ready to engage, saying solemnly, "Come on!"
Anna gave a simple "oh," suddenly launching a lightning-fast punch.
Her fist struck squarely onto Master Liuâs face.
Receiving the punch, Liu fell back like a sack, collapsing to the ground with his head tilted, motionless, actually knocked unconscious with one hit.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
