Chapter 226: Act Under Cover Of Darkness
“What the hell is going on with you?!”
Hei Jinbao threw a punch, the punch force unrelenting, instantly collapsing a three-story Tong Lau.
Such exaggerated performance still couldn’t make him arrogant.
Because he knew very well that this attack of his had been futile once again.
“Can’t figure it out…” Lou Yunyi, who was also attacking Lu Bai, furrowed his brows tightly.
Although they hadn’t been fighting for long, Lou Yunyi had already been shocked by Lu Bai’s performance more than once.
He completely couldn’t understand how Lu Bai dodged the attacks. This young man’s performance was truly too mysterious and unfathomable, as if he could predict the future.
Especially several times, he felt the hairs on his fist had already touched Lu Bai, yet he still suddenly missed.
Meanwhile, Lu Bai’s counterattacks were sharp beyond measure, as if they could never be dodged.
“Wild Tiger Lou, you and I, one on the left and one on the right.”
Hei Jinbao, who rushed over to help, forced Lu Bai back, avoiding Lou Yunyi taking another punch.
“Didn’t you know this young man before? What’s the deal with him?”
Lou Yunyi’s tone carried unconcealed anger; he desperately wanted to figure out what was going on.
Clearly, Lu Bai didn’t seem fast, and his attack force was just barely at the level of a Grandmaster Martial Artist, yet they couldn’t seize control of the battle.
This awkward feeling was driving him nearly mad.
The thugs watching from secluded corners in the street corners were all dumbfounded, as if uniformly turned into clay statues.
Is this still human?
Everyone knew that when Dao Master rose to power, it was thanks to his domineering power that was fierce and unyielding.
But to say nothing of exaggeration, even the Dao Master back then couldn’t perform like Lu Bai was toying with them when facing Hei Jinbao and Lou Yunyi at the same time.
Even the harmless, friendly smile on Lu Bai’s face showed no change at all, which made people suspect he might not even be serious yet.
In this state, it was hard to say the two middle-aged Grandmasters dealing with Lu Bai felt no pressure.
Of course, Lu Bai knew his own situation.
He just appeared relaxed; in reality, it was quite perilous.
After all, due to limited time, he hadn’t had time to quench the whole body with internal energy. Even distributing internal energy uniformly around his body for amplification, his physical fitness was still far inferior to a true Grandmaster Martial Artist.
Relying solely on Flash Time to hold off against these two Grandmaster Martial Artists, there were several times he nearly failed to react.
Keep in mind, aside from his right hand, the rest of his body was no different from an ordinary person.
Once hit, it would be game over directly.
Considering this, even with Flash Time’s existence, the risk was really quite high.
Lu Bai once again dodged Lou Yunyi’s attack during time stagnation, then smoothly smashed a fist into the opponent’s waist.
Sending Lou Yunyi flying, Lu Bai then pulled distance from Hei Jinbao.
Hei Jinbao didn’t rush forward immediately but stopped in place waiting for Lou Yunyi to return.
Lu Bai slightly adjusted his breathing rhythm and suddenly asked, “I want to ask, when you eat Coke, do you eat it with the shell or without?”
Hei Jinbao: “What?”
Lou Yunyi: “…”
Before these two middle-aged Grandmasters could figure out what this meant, the smile on Lu Bai’s face became even brighter.
“If you don’t say, I’ll choose for you myself.”
Before the words finished,
Swoosh~
Boundless darkness rapidly spread out from Lu Bai’s position, like a torrential flood or an ocean surging to the heavens.
In an instant, in Hei Jinbao and Lou Yunyi’s eyes, all light faded, leaving only a deep ink black.
Such darkness was truly too overbearing; nothing could block it, even forcing the battle on Dao Zheng Mu’s side to stop.
The darkness that could devour all light spread several kilometers, soon enveloping the entire Zhonglouba area.
After a brief deathly silence, thousands of thugs awoke and erupted in a tidal wave of discussion.
The street corners completely boiled over, with many people scrambling in the dark, trying to escape this black place that bred unease.
In almost the blink of an eye, screams began rising and falling one after another.
In such a dark environment, it was hard not to panic.
Once unluckily falling, one would be stepped on by feet extending from who-knows-where, bringing down others and quickly forming a large-scale Stampede Incident.
Most importantly, in such an environment, even if you stayed calm enough, it was useless.
Because the diffusion efficiency of panic far exceeded rational thinking.
Any shrill scream would immediately trigger others’ flustered unease.
“You really used that move after all.”
Hei Jinbao cautiously stood in place, proactively closing his eyes, trying to judge Lu Bai’s movements with hearing, touch, and other senses.
When he first witnessed Lu Bai’s “Darkness Descends,” he had thought about how he would cope if he were caught in it.
But even with mental preparation beforehand, once enveloped by Ink Black’s darkness, he could only stand in place like most people.
Moreover, the surrounding interfering noises were really too much, making accurate perception difficult.
Even Hei Jinbao, who was somewhat prepared, had no good method; Lou Yunyi’s first-time reaction would only be worse.
Lu Bai silently circled behind Lou Yunyi and, for safety’s sake, activated Flash Time.
If someone could see through the darkness, they would notice a fist smashing out from it.
This punch was forceful and extremely violent.
Clang!
A sound like gold and iron colliding rang out.
Lou Yunyi only felt his back of the head smashed by a huge iron hammer, ears ringing, dizzy and nauseous.
This was just the initial sensation; the impact force then transmitted from the back of the head. Lou Yunyi’s qi and blood surged, his head uncontrollably tilting forward, plunging into the ground.
Ink Black plus Flash Time ensured Lu Bai’s attack objectives couldn’t react in advance.
As long as his attack could break defense, it was fatal for the target.
“Don’t… I, I submit, I’m willing… Wild Tiger Hall is willing to support you as Speaker.”
Lou Yunyi, whose head was smashed into the soil by Lu Bai, truly felt the breath of death at this moment and couldn’t stay tough anymore.
That said, no matter the means used, single-handedly confronting the leaders of two top factions was enough qualification to become Chikan Bay’s Speaker.
Ink Black only interfered with vision and didn’t affect hearing.
So Hei Jinbao heard Lou Yunyi’s plea for mercy crystal clear.
He still wanted to fight, after all; Lu Bai’s ability was mysterious and strange, and he hadn’t shown much power in direct confrontation that could convince heart and mouth.
“Sensible.”
Lu Bai patted Lou Yunyi’s head and looked towards Hei Jinbao’s direction: “So what about you?”
