He nodded heavily, gritting his teeth, "Brother Xu, you... take care!" Without further hesitation, he helped his still-shaken wife and staggered out of the yard.
"Hmph! Trying to run away?" Wang Ming's eyes flashed with a sinister glint as he watched Zhang Zhihe and his wife leave, and he urged Hei Zi on.
"Hey, what are you dawdling for? Get to work! Cripple this kid first! Don't let all the troublemakers get away!"
Hei Zi didn't respond, but his lazy eyes suddenly sharpened and locked onto Xu Kuo.
He stretched his thick neck, and his knuckles cracked loudly.
The next second!
Thump!
Hei Zi stomped his foot hard, and the ground seemed to tremble!
His massive body, carrying a fierce aura and a howling wind, charged fiercely towards Xu Kuo!
That speed was in stark contrast to his bulky physique!
"It's over! This kid's dead meat!"
"I'm afraid I'll get punched into a pulp by that big black guy!"
"Alas, youthful impetuosity always leads to great losses..."
The terrified security guards almost simultaneously had similar thoughts.
They seemed to have already foreseen the horrific scene of Xu Kuo being smashed to pieces by Hei Zi's fist, which was as big as a clay pot, leaving him a bloody mess!
However, just when everyone thought Xu Kuo would be crushed in an instant—
Xu Kuo made a move!
Facing that crushing punch, he even had a playful smile on his face, and instead of retreating, he advanced!
Just as Hei Zi's fist was about to touch his face, Xu Kuo's figure swayed slightly like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the fatal punch at an incredible angle!
at the same time!
Xu Kuo met the attack with his right fist, seemingly without any effort!
There was no earth-shattering noise, and the movements were barely visible!
"Bang!!!"
A deafeningly loud bang suddenly exploded!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with uncontrollable shock and fear.
All I saw was—
The black-faced man, on whom Wang Ming had placed high hopes and who was touted as someone who could "kill a strong ox with one punch," still had a ferocious expression on his face as he charged forward, but his body began to move.
His feet suddenly left the ground, and he flew straight back at an even faster speed than when he came!
"Boom!!"
Hei Zi's massive body slammed into a dilapidated mud wall several meters away, like a cannonball!
Splash!
The earthen wall shook violently, dust flew everywhere, and plaster fell off in clumps!
Hei Zi slid down the wall to the ground, his head lolled to the side, and a strange "hoarse" sound came from his throat. He didn't even utter a sound before passing out!
A deathly silence fell over the scene!
A gust of wind blew by, swirling up a few fallen leaves and making a rustling sound, which only accentuated the eerie stillness of the moment.
Everyone was stunned. At this moment, no one questioned Xu Kuo's strength anymore; all they felt was fear of him.
Wang Ming's mouth gaped open in shock, his smugness and ferocity completely frozen, replaced by boundless horror and fear!
The security guards were terrified, their hands trembling as they held the batons. Some even dropped their weapons on the ground with a clatter!
"Just one... just one punch?!"
"Kuroko... just like that... gone?!"
"Is this even human?!"
Xu Kuo slowly withdrew his fist, lightly flicked his wrist, and didn't care about Hei Zi's life or death.
He glanced at the unconscious Hei Zi in the corner, his expression full of disdain and contempt, clearly looking down on him.
That's it?
He raised his head, his cold gaze slowly sweeping over Wang Ming, whose face was ashen, and the group of security guards behind him who were almost collapsing to the ground.
"Is there anyone else who can fight?" Xu Kuo's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an arrogant air of looking down on the world.
"Or, you can all come at me together? Don't waste my time like a coward!"
Wang Ming shuddered as if ice water had been poured over his head, and fear instantly gripped his heart!
Blackie was his greatest asset, the source of his confidence to run rampant in the village!
But now, that confidence has been completely shattered by a single punch from this young man in front of him!
“You, you…” Wang Ming pointed at Xu Kuo, his lips trembling, and roared in a fierce but cowardly manner.
"Don't be so arrogant! Get him! All of you, get him! Surround him! Anyone who dares to back down, I'll skin him alive!" He tried to use harsh words to cover up his inner fear, but his trembling voice betrayed him.
The security guards looked at each other, their faces filled with fear and hesitation.
Go? Are you kidding me!
Even the haters were knocked out with one punch. Do you think all of them, a dozen or so people combined, would be enough to fill someone's teeth?
Going up there would be suicide!
They're just trying to make a living; they don't want to lose their lives here!
Seeing his subordinates' cowardly behavior, Wang Ming was so angry he almost vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do.
Xu Kuo scoffed, completely ignoring the guards who had lost their will to fight.
He strode forward and walked straight toward Wang Ming.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and with each step they deepened Wang Ming's fear, making it difficult for him to breathe!
"Stop! You...you stay away!" Wang Ming retreated in panic, stumbling and nearly falling. "I'm warning you! Xu Kuo! Don't do anything rash! This is..."
"Kneel down."
Two cold words instantly interrupted Wang Ming's words.
Xu Kuo stopped, standing only a step away from Wang Ming, looking down at him with a cold gaze.
"When Zhang Zhihe comes back, kowtow to him and apologize."
"Wh-what?!" Wang Ming's face was filled with shock and anger, unable to believe what he had just heard.
"You want me... to kneel before him?! Who do you think you are! You're dreaming! I am..."
*Smack!!!*
A crisp, resounding slap suddenly rang out!
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
Wang Ming's next words were swallowed back down by that slap!
He felt stars flashing before his eyes, a sharp pain shot through his left cheek, and he was spun halfway around by an irresistible force before collapsing to the ground with a thud!
"ah--!!!"
Wang Ming covered his rapidly swollen cheek, letting out a painful howl, staring at Xu Kuo with a mixture of shock, anger, and disbelief.
"You, you...you fucking dare to hit me?! You actually dared to hit me?!"
How dare Xu Kuo?!
How dare he hit him, the town party secretary?!
"Rebellion! Rebellion! You're plotting a rebellion!"
Wang Ming struggled to get up, roaring with his last shred of authority, "I'm the town party secretary! Hitting me is blatant defiance of the people's government! You're dead! Xu Kuo! You're dead! No one in heaven or on earth can save you!"
