In Chikan Bay, no matter which faction you originally belonged to, you have to have a detailed understanding of the leaders of the five major factions. Otherwise, one day you might unintentionally offend such a big figure, and even dying would be a luxury.

This is exactly why the entire crowd of vile members were utterly shocked upon hearing Lv Bai’s words. No one dared to say another word, and some even turned around and fled in fright.

He was directly taunting them all.

Even during the time when Daoist Master was still around, he probably wouldn’t dare to speak to them like that. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"You... have guts!"

Hei Jinbao’s expression immediately darkened, his tone becoming extremely sinister: "Could you trouble yourself to repeat that? I didn’t hear it clearly."

"Lv Bai, words can cause trouble! Quickly apologize to these big shots."

Thirteen Orphans had an inexplicable look, but spoke as if thinking for Lv Bai’s sake.

Lou Yunyi, Crow Captain, and Noah Zorro, the three leaders of their factions, did not speak, but their expressions were not pleasant.

There were many people around. Besides the small-time hoodlums of the Vile Members, there were also personnel from several other major factions gathering in the streets and alleys; shadows were everywhere.

The lackeys did not expect anyone to dare openly taunt their boss. Whether genuinely furious or trying to gain a bit of favor with their boss, they all began to shout curses.

"Such arrogance, utterly reckless!"

"Where do you come from, to speak such wild words, thinking the Nanxing Association is devoid of people?!"

"This boy must have never died before. Jinbao, please allow me to take action."

Dao Zheng Wood hadn’t recovered his wits yet, but Xiao Fengze heard everything clearly.

He really couldn’t understand why Lv Bai would provoke the other party at this time. A wave of bitterness surged in his heart, deeply regretting getting on this pirate ship.

Gazing at the scene of fervor, Lv Bai involuntarily laughed, making the surrounding lackeys even more furious.

"Lv Bai, ah you..."

Thirteen Orphans took half a step forward, speaking in a tone of compassion: "I need to teach you a lesson to make you understand that you can’t act so recklessly at times."

"Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken?"

A muscular man stepped out from the Nanxing Association’s camp: "No need for you to act, Youngest Brother. I’ll take him down right now."

Before the muscular man finished speaking, he moved his feet, charging directly at Lv Bai.

The Vile Members between the two quickly scattered, afraid of being caught up in the attack, let alone helping Lv Bai stop the muscular man’s assault.

Standing beside Lv Bai, Dao Long intended to intervene. However, Lv Bai apparently anticipated this, raising his hand to stop Dao Long’s action in advance.

This muscular man was clearly an innate-level martial artist, even if not as good as Dao Long, his charging momentum was not weak.

However, this meant nothing to Lv Bai.

As the distance between them closed, Flash Time quietly activated.

Grandmaster level inner strength circulated to his right hand, and then he punched towards the muscular man’s head.

Boom!

The terrifying impact instantly scattered the muscular man’s consciousness, causing him to bleed from his ears and nose.

He flew backward at a speed several times faster than when he approached.

"!"

Upon seeing this scene, the others were fine, but Thirteen Orphans and Hei Jinbao’s expressions changed drastically.

They felt they couldn’t understand anymore, as such fist force clearly belonged to the realm of grandmaster martial artists.

But,

How could this be possible?!

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder you’re so arrogant, you actually do have some skills."

Noah Zorro mocked sinisterly.

"What’s everyone saying?"

Crow Captain flexed his wrist: "Anyone planning to go a few rounds with him?"

Thirteen Orphans remained silent, although the knocked-out muscular man was his subordinate.

But, following his usual cautious nature, with such a big change in Lv Bai, he had no intention of testing him personally.

Hei Jinbao also fell silent, this was indeed too strange.

He was very clear that Lv Bai’s physical condition was still at the level of an ordinary person a week ago, at most having some mysterious techniques.

Yet now he had become a grandmaster martial artist; no matter how he looked at it, it appeared to be a big problem.

Both remained tacitly silent about these revelations, planning to let the other three test things out first.

"Why so quiet? Not fighting anymore?"

Lv Bai casually twisted his neck, still wearing a harmless, friendly smile.

"Since none of you want to act, I will."

Lou Yunyi frowned, walking towards Lv Bai.

The power structure of this world was vaguely tiered: Acquired, Innate, and Grandmaster, with no subdivisions like early stage, middle stage, late stage, let alone abstract stages like late-stage grandmaster peak great perfection.

In a way, this was because the difference within the same realm was not as heaven-and-earth-like.

After all, everyone’s attacks could breach defenses, and reflexes and dynamic vision improved along with physical strength.

The only things that could create a gap were skills and combat experience.

Thus, no matter how powerful a grandmaster was, facing two opponents was about the limit.

With five grandmasters present, it shouldn’t normally lead to fear.

Thirteen Orphans and Hei Jinbao stayed silent, planning to seriously observe the fight between Lv Bai and Lou Yunyi before proceeding.

However, the scene that followed left them dumbfounded.

Because they couldn’t see clearly what happened.

They only saw that wherever Lou Yunyi went, the crowd scattered like fish in the river, instinctively moving aside to give him ample space to pass through.

Meanwhile, Lv Bai also walked towards Lou Yunyi unhurriedly.

When the two were about to face off, a terrifying force suddenly erupted.

Visible waves of power spread out; the tigress tattoo on Lou Yunyi’s back abruptly stood out, and he flew backwards defenselessly, crashing heavily into a building, his face flushed red.

Seeing this, Hei Jinbao felt a chill run through his heart. Though he was extremely self-confident, he couldn’t help but doubt whether something was wrong with his eyes.

The situation was too absurd, too mysterious.

Not only Hei Jinbao, but all the grandmasters present found it hard to believe.

Lv Bai’s performance could be described as bizarre.

Yes, bizarre.

So strange it sent chills down one’s spine.

Could someone’s movements really be faster than a grandmaster’s eye could see?

"This kid is suspicious; everyone attack at once."

Hei Jinbao called out.

He knew Lv Bai had yet to employ a technique to shroud the surroundings in darkness.

Noah Zorro and Crow Captain exchanged a glance and responded without hesitation: "Whatever the issue, let’s take this kid down first."

Including Thirteen Orphans, four grandmasters charged towards Lv Bai almost simultaneously.

At this moment, three aged figures appeared at the distant bell tower out of nowhere.

The White Eyebrow Bat King stood atop the bell tower, pointing at Lv Bai with a loud shout.

"I will assist you!"
