Takeda originally thought Li Changqing was here to cause trouble, but upon hearing this, he immediately relaxed.
His expression turned firm, "Li Changqing, even if you want revenge, there’s got to be an order to things, right? This bastard insulted me in front of everyone just now. If I don’t set things right, how am I going to keep my reputation?"
Although he didn’t want to make enemies with Li Changqing, in such a situation, whoever backs down will surely be ridiculed.
"Takeda, can’t you give a little face at all?"
Li Changqing squinted his eyes, his face turning cold.
"No."
Takeda shook his head decisively.
"Very well."
Li Changqing clenched his fist three times but eventually loosened it and turned to look at Qin Hao: "You little trash, you’re someone Young Master Zhou ordered to be taken care of. I warn you, don’t get beaten down by Takeda, hold on, so I can take my turn beating you. Understand?"
"If you can’t hold out, it’s not going to be just a beating from me."
As soon as this was said, everyone looked sympathetic.
Damn, not allowed to get beaten down?
Even if Qin Hao gets a beating, you still won’t let him go?
This Steward Zhou is too ruthless, isn’t he!
As for the threat, Qin Hao seemed not to notice.
He shook his head and said, "Then I’ll speed things up."
With that, he walked past Li Changqing and approached Takeda.
"Crack!"
Takeda rubbed his hands together, his knuckles cracking, waiting for Qin Hao to come closer, and then he took a big step forward, throwing a punch.
"I’ve been waiting for you, little bastard!"
As he spoke, his fist suddenly swung towards Qin Hao’s face.
It seemed like Qin Hao was about to be floored by this punch.
Suddenly.
In an instant, without any prior defense, Qin Hao’s right hand flicked upwards, accurately slapping Takeda’s wrist.
Slap!
The slap carried immense force, knocking Takeda’s hand away, and his wrist was reddened by the impact.
The force pushed Takeda back three steps subconsciously, and after steadying himself, his face shifted uncertainly with anger: "You little bastard, you..."
Before he could finish his words, a figure closed in on him, none other than Qin Hao, who was entering the scene.
"Fall!"
Qin Hao calmly uttered a single word, and then, his palm slapped onto Takeda’s chest.
Boom!
A dull thud echoed; the spot where the chest met the palm seemed to explode like a bomb.
The immense impact sent Takeda’s body flying backward, crashing into a group of people before lying on the ground.
Moments ago, Takeda was overwhelmingly arrogant, but now he had his eyes tightly shut, face full of agony, his chest clothes torn to tatters, utterly disheveled!
Most importantly, he didn’t even have the strength to utter a threatening word, passing out just like that!
"What!"
The surrounding people were in shock.
Those who were hit by Takeda as he crashed back struggled to get up, feeling like their bodies were about to fall apart in pain.
"My hand hurts so much..."
"What kind of colossal force was that? I almost broke my hand just from a bump!"
"Takeda endured that hit head-on, unimaginable how miserable it must be!"
The few people complained with faces full of pain.
Nearby, upon hearing this, everyone turned to Qin Hao in astonishment, unable to hold their disbelief.
This young man, how is he this strong?
He took Takeda out in one strike?
Amidst the stunned murmurs, only Jin Ni’Er excitedly clenched her fists and jumped up high.
"This is Brother Qin!" she was overjoyed in her heart.
Waited so long, finally seeing Qin Hao.
And Qin Hao, as always, was straightforward and gave the enemy no chance to breathe.
After days of absence, Brother Qin is still that Brother Qin!
Qin Hao shook his hand, glanced at the person beside him: "Hey, are you going to make a move now?"
Beside him, being watched by Qin Hao, Li Changqing suddenly snapped out of his stupor.
Clearly, Qin Hao’s gaze was so mundane.
Yet, in Li Changqing’s eyes, it became the intimidating stare of a deep-sea behemoth.
Nervously, Li Changqing felt a chill all over, his words trembled: "No... I think... I’m not feeling well today... Let’s forget it..."
"Huh?" Qin Hao looked surprised: "Aren’t you with Young Master Zhou? How come Young Master Zhou isn’t having you fight me today? Why did you change your mind?"
"I’m feeling... unwell..."
Li Changqing’s tone wavered with fear, trying to mask his tension with bravado.
"Haha, feeling unwell, are you? No problem, I don’t like taking advantage of others, how about I let you use one hand?"
Qin Hao put one hand behind his back and waved the other forward, "If you’re ready, you can make a move now."
Pfft!
Li Changqing was so frightened he almost spat out blood.
Make a move?
Are you serious, you could take Takeda out in a single blow, how can I possibly fight you?
In comparison, though Li Changqing was confident, he didn’t think he could one-shot Takeda.
And now, with Takeda still lying on the ground, fighting Qin Hao would probably have an 80% chance of repeating the fate.
He didn’t want to get beaten for no reason.
"I... Better not..."
Li Changqing showed a pained expression, clutching his stomach: "My stomach hurts, I feel like I need to relieve myself, I’m leaving, I’ll find you later!"
With that, he squeezed through the crowd, hurriedly trying to escape.
"Hey, do you want me to wait here for you!"
Qin Hao called out very friendly.
In his haste, Li Changqing almost tripped over, not looking back, he shouted: "No need! I’ll come to find you! You just wait, once my stomach settles, I’ll come!"
Perhaps this was Li Changqing’s most ludicrous attempt at talking tough.
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
"This Li Changqing, such a coward!"
"That’s not right to say, you can’t blame him for being cowardly! After all, this fierce person just took Takeda out with one hit!"
"Taking out Takeda? That level would be enough to make it into the Seventy-two Earth Spirits, right?"
The Seventy-two Earth Spirits are the strongest seventy-two heads of the Outer Sect.
Some of these figures were notorious Jianghu masters; others were peerless experts guarding regions beyond.
But since they haven’t cultivated Spiritual Qi, they’re ranked in the Outer Courtyard.
Lacking Spiritual Qi doesn’t mean their strength is poor.
Quite the opposite, some of them have already cultivated Inner Strength to the legendary peak realm, and when it comes to strength alone, some among them might not be any weaker than typical Innate disciples.
Thinking about this, everyone gazed at Qin Hao with great respect.
This newcomer is fierce, but he just got in and has already clashed with two bigwigs, there’s bound to be a good show later on!
"Ni’Er, how’s your brother doing now?"
At this moment, Qin Hao had already arrived by Ni’Er’s side.
Through the previous conversation, he roughly understood what happened.
"Brother, he..." Jin Ni’Er came out of her happiness, worried: "The external injuries are quite severe, he’s resting in the dormitory..."
"Take me to see him." Qin Hao said in an undeniable tone.
