Li Qing replied quietly, "Yes, so what?"

Yu had only asked the question, thinking that Li Qing would definitely not say "yes," so that he could find a way to back down and think of other solutions. But he never expected that the other party would actually answer "yes," and answer so decisively, as if he didn't even think about it before answering directly.

Yu was so angry at Li Qing's words that he couldn't utter a single word.

That bastard, he really dares to say that!

Li Qing raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? You're not happy? Do you think I'm lying?"

He clapped his hands and ordered, "Big Black, show them your strength. I told you not to show up unless there's a special reason, you've probably been holding back for a while now."

Skipping over Yu, who was staring at him with obvious suspicion, Li Qing pointed to a warrior next to Black Foot and said, "That's him."

"ah!"

Blackfoot and the soldier next to him were startled. When they saw Big Black looking at them, they instinctively scurried to the sides.

But their speed was no match for Big Black. Big Black leaped forward and was already in front of the fleeing soldier. The poor man had just turned around and seen Big Black, and before he could even cry for help, Big Black bit his throat and lifted him up. Then, Big Black shook its head, and a stream of blood spurted down from the sky.

After drinking a mouthful of blood, Big Black finally released the soldier and threw him to the ground.

Blackfoot stared wide-eyed. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Big Black wasn't targeting him. But when he saw the gruesome sight of his companion's death, he was immediately terrified, letting out a miserable scream and staggering back a few steps.

Li Qing waved to Dahei and said gently with a smile, "Alright, well done, Dahei, come back."

Big Black barked affectionately at Li Qing and trotted back to Li Qing's side.

Li Qing patted Dahei's forehead and praised him with a face full of affection: "You did a great job, Dahei."

After speaking, Li Qing looked at Yu again and said meaningfully, "This is my answer. Do you have any objections?"

Yu was trembling with rage and shouted, "Black Wind Tribe members, did you see that? This is what the Red Flower Tribe does! What are you all standing there for? Let's attack together, kill them, and avenge the fallen warriors of our tribe!"

Just like before, no one answered Yu.

It wasn't just that they didn't want to be used by Yu; in fact, after seeing how terrifying Dahei's strength was, they all started to feel afraid.

Earlier, when Dian led the crowd to attack, they had been wary of Dahei. They thought this big guy was tall and strong, looked fierce, and was extremely difficult to deal with. Now, after witnessing Dahei easily kill a warrior, they dared not make any rash moves.

Even though their combat skills are extremely good, they are far from being able to face death directly. After all, they are human beings, not emotionless machines.

Li Qing deliberately waited a while before saying, "Look, nobody's paying attention to you. What are you going to do now? I'm worried for you."

Yu disregarded his position as chieftain. He knew that if they didn't get reinforcements soon, they would all be doomed. In desperation, he cursed, "A bunch of beasts! You're willing to just stand there and watch? Fine, then watch! Anyway, the Red Flower Tribe will definitely kill you all eventually. Let's see what you'll do then!"

Li Qing followed Yu's words and slowly said, "Everyone in the Black Wind Tribe, please rest assured, just as my chief and the others said when they came, we will not kill you indiscriminately. What we want more is your people."

Seeing the injuries, some minor and some serious, on Atuna and the other warriors, Li Qing knew that Chu and his group had messed things up. He felt a pang of regret, wishing he had come along too, so things wouldn't have escalated to this point where it was impossible to salvage.

Just as he was thinking of this, Li Qing suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him.

Swish—

Li Qing caught the straight punch that was aimed at his face.

"Are they going to completely turn against us?"

A hint of murderous intent had crept into Li Qing's tone.

"You bastard, aren't you a level one warrior? How did you manage to take that punch from me?"

Yu gritted her teeth, her face filled with anger and astonishment as she asked.

He was the chieftain of the White Feather Tribe, a powerful level three warrior. How could his punch have been taken so easily by him!

Immediately afterwards, Yu's emotions shifted from surprise to fear. He was surprised to find that he was experiencing a sharp pain in his hand, which made him tremble uncontrollably!

This means that Li Qing has completely suppressed him in terms of strength!

If it were just that he had taken a punch from Li Qing, he could attribute it to his quick reaction, good luck, or some other reason. But the fact that Li Qing could easily defeat Yu's strength, which he was quite proud of, and not gain the upper hand, was something Yu could not believe and could not accept!

Yu bared his teeth, refusing to believe it, and stretched out his trembling arm forward, trying to use his strength to block Li Qing's palm.

The scene looked somewhat ridiculous. Yu was half-stanceled, his fist enveloped in Li Qing's palm as he strained forward. But no matter how much Yu twisted his body or strained, Li Qing's hand remained firmly in place, motionless. Unlike Yu's fierce expression, Li Qing's movements were remarkably indifferent, as if this contest of strength meant nothing to him. At most, a flicker of seriousness crossed his eyes, making it seem to outsiders that the difference in their strength wasn't so great.

"If I hadn't expended so much energy in the Black Crow Forest, I could have knocked you down with a single punch!" Yu panted heavily, already quite tired, and could only express his resentment with some angry words.

Li Qing did not deny it, saying, "That's right. If you were at your peak, I really couldn't beat you, but in your current state, I'm still confident I can defeat you."

"Defeat me?"

"Stop talking big, you're just putting on a brave face!" Yu suddenly roared.

"You're going to be disappointed."

“I’m not really pushing myself to the limit. For me, I’ve only used up about 20 or 30 percent of my energy,” Li Qing muttered. “But you, I reckon you’re almost out of energy by now.”

"Hmph, you're quite stubborn," Yu said. "Then let's see who gives up first."

Li Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Since you don't seem to quite believe what I'm saying, then I'll show you something."
