The force of the punch grazed the tip of his nose, stinging his skin.
His eyes suddenly turned icy cold as he stared intently at Ah Hu's ferocious face.
Wow, that's some real strength! He's definitely a trained fighter.
However, it's all brute force.
"Xu Kuo! Don't fight him! You're no match for him!" Secretary Wen was extremely anxious, his voice even tinged with tears.
"Hurry! Go find Zhou Changke! Tell him to contact the people above! Quickly!"
She couldn't bear to see Xu Kuo get injured while saving her, after all, Xu Kuo had helped her a lot. If Xu Kuo were injured or left disabled, she would live in the shadow of that for the rest of her life.
The surrounding people also changed their expressions. Just now they thought Xu Kuo was incredibly brave, but now they all thought he was throwing an egg against a rock.
"Young man, listen to the secretary, run!"
"Yes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle! As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!"
"This big guy doesn't look like someone to mess with, let's go!"
"This young man is finished; he's completely enraged these bullies!"
Xu Kuo seemed not to hear the advice around him, his gaze never leaving the restrained Secretary Wen, a reassuring yet absolutely confident smile on his face.
"Secretary Wen, don't worry! I said I'd get you out, and I will! No one can stop me!" *Zhou Changke? A distant solution can't quench an immediate thirst! Today, no one will lay a finger on Secretary Wen!*
Looking into Xu Kuo's resolute eyes, Secretary Wen felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
But what followed was even deeper worry and anxiety. She bit her lip tightly, her heart pounding in her throat.
This Xu Kuo... why is he so stubborn!
Seeing this, Wenwen, who was not far away, was also deeply moved. Xu Kuo was no longer afraid of Ah Hu in order to save her mother.
Seeing that Xu Kuo was not afraid at all, but instead was exchanging glances with Secretary Wen, acting as if he was deeply loved by the people, Ah Hu's anger flared up instantly.
Damn it, what kind of good people are these, a profiteer who inflates prices and a corrupt old woman who colludes with officials, trying to gain the sympathy of ordinary people?!
I'll wake you up today!
"You're asking for death!" Ah Hu roared, his legs suddenly exerting force, his massive body lunging at Xu Kuo again, his fists striking out with great force, creating a whistling sound!
Xu Kuo's eyes sharpened, and the power accumulated within him due to anger began to surge.
He sidestepped another punch aimed straight at his face, and spoke coldly, his icy words reaching everyone's ears.
"I'm warning you one last time, get out of here! Otherwise, you'll pay a heavy price for what you did today!"
"Price? Hahaha!" Ah Hu sneered, his attacks relentless, his mouth chuckling mockingly. "Kid, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? I'll see how you make me pay the price!"
This kid is really stubborn even when he's about to die!
"Hmph!" Xu Kuo snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light.
Since Ah Hu wouldn't listen to reason, we can't blame him!
He must act quickly now; if Wang Ming sends someone else down from above, he will truly have no chance.
Just as Ah Hu's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, he was preparing to change his tactics and pursue!
Xu Kuo made a move!
He stopped dodging and moved like a ghost to get close to Ah Hu, avoiding another heavy punch that was sweeping towards him. His right hand was as fast as lightning. He clenched his fist and seemingly casually punched Ah Hu's forearm that was blocking!
A hint of disdain flashed in Ah Hu's eyes, and he subconsciously raised his thick forearm to block.
In Ah Hu's eyes, Xu Kuo was nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
"Heh heh, this body of mine is incredibly tough..."
"Bang—!!!"
Before Ah Hu could finish speaking, a muffled, loud bang erupted in everyone's ears!
Ah Hu's disdain froze instantly, replaced by extreme pain and horror!
He felt an indescribable, terrifying force instantly pass through his forearm and violently rush into his body!
"Crack!" The crisp sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard!
The next second, Ah Hu's burly body, weighing over 200 pounds, was sent flying backward with a "whoosh" before he could even let out a complete scream!
It traversed several meters of space and then crashed heavily into Xu Kuo's overturned vegetable stall with a "thud," scattering the vegetables and fruits all over the ground into a mess!
"Ugh..." Ah Hu lay in the pile of rotten vegetable leaves, feeling as if his bones were falling apart, and was in excruciating pain, especially his right arm. The piercing pain made his vision go black, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
He struggled a few times, but found that he could not even move a single finger!
'
How...how is this possible?!
One punch... just one punch?!
His external martial arts skills were so formidable that even Xu Kuo couldn't withstand a single punch from him.
His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief as he looked at Xu Kuo.
Whoosh—!!!
The entire entrance to the market fell into a deathly silence once again!
Everyone froze, their eyes filled with confusion, unable to believe what had just happened.
What just happened?!
That fierce-looking Ah Hu was actually sent flying by a single punch from this seemingly frail young man?!
Now he lies motionless in his stall, seemingly unconscious.
My God, is this young man... a monster?!
That's terrifying strength.
The onlookers felt overwhelmed, and their gazes toward Xu Kuo shifted from sympathy and worry to awe and fear in an instant!
Wang Ming's sinister smile froze completely. He rubbed his eyes, almost unable to believe what he was seeing!
Ah Hu knew his strength better than anyone; he could easily take on seven or eight strong men by himself!
How is that possible... how could he be crippled by Xu Kuo with just one punch?!
A chilling cold suddenly shot up from the soles of his feet and spread throughout his body in an instant!
He instinctively shuddered, and the redness and swelling on his face seemed to lessen in pain, replaced by a deep-seated fear!
What... what kind of monster is this kid?!
How can he be such a good fighter?!
Xu Kuo shook his hand, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.
He didn't even glance at Ah Hu, who was lying on the vegetable stall groaning, and just coldly uttered a few words: "Hmph, I told you to get out of here, but you wouldn't listen. You brought this on yourself."
Xu Kuo's cold gaze slowly turned to Wang Ming, who was slumped on the ground.
Every step Xu Kuo took weighed heavily on Wang Ming's mind, deepening his fear even further.
"You...you stay away!" Wang Ming was terrified, frantically moving backward, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "I'm warning you! Don't do anything rash!"
Xu Kuo stopped, standing only two or three meters away from Wang Ming, looking down at him with a blank, emotionless gaze: "Release him."
