Crack! This was Liu Yi’s warning. Xiao Lin stood there, startled. He might know that he is not necessarily Liu Yi’s match, having already had a confrontation on the Deserted Island, but he didn’t know he was so outmatched. That sudden shout just now was as if telling him that if Liu Yi wanted him dead, he could have already heard the chilling sound of bones cracking. He could even imagine his neck protruding backward in the shape of a fist, his head wobbling before completing an extremely unnatural twist, finally with his body shivering violently, Liu Yi’s punch would have shattered his throat, split his fragile bone and spinal column, force a mixture of whitish bone and blood to splatter out of his mouth, a devastating sight.

Instinctively, his left hand touched his own throat, and his Adam’s apple was still moving up and down. He was still alive. Liu Yi had missed the opportunity to kill Xiao Lin, landing one step behind him, yet that emotionless face still had an expression that seemed like a wide smile. He gazed at Xiao Lin, who had his back to him. This was not the time to expose one’s vulnerable back, no matter how shocked one might be, such carelessness was unacceptable. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Scared?" A cold voice sounded from behind, causing Xiao Lin’s shoulders to tense stiffly. His body quivered as he abruptly turned around, eyes blazing like fire.

His pride felt as if it had been thrown on the ground and then brutally crushed beneath a stomping foot. If he were to die at Liu Yi’s hands, he would have no regrets, he would have no complaints about his own incompetence, but... no, there is no ’but’, the fear of being belittled was even more terrifying than death.

Xiao Lin was a person with a strong sense of pride, and he would never accept such disdain.

Bam bam bam! Dull sounds echoed from the stairway, as Xiao Lin’s fists wildly swung with aggressive force, whipping through the air like hammers in a frenzy, stepping forward and kicking up dust, his momentum like a wolf releasing its inner fury, causing hearts to tremble.

Bam! The fierce fist smashed into Liu Yi’s lower abdomen. The violent impact caused his straightened waist to bend abruptly. After just a slight frown, Liu Yi stood upright again, that expressionless face in Xiao Lin’s eyes appeared to be a mocking mask, making him aghast.

"Anger! Violence! Unwillingness!" While blocking Xiao Lin’s fists, Liu Yi listed Xiao Lin’s emotions like tallying treasured items, as if an elder was pointing out the shortcomings of a disciple. "Is this all you can do?"

Roar! Xiao Lin roared deeply, suddenly swinging an all-out punch straight at Liu Yi’s chin. If this punch landed, it might not just be a matter of a broken chin; even his skull could be shattered!

Whoosh! At the critical moment, Liu Yi tilted his head upward with full force, Xiao Lin’s fist grazed his nose and soared skyward. The chance was rare, how could Xiao Lin let it slip by? His right fist had missed, but his left fist followed immediately, this time aiming for Liu Yi’s chest, seeking to land a critical blow, but...

Liu Yi was no opponent like any other. As Liu Yi said, at this moment, Xiao Lin was beyond reason. Perhaps the impact of brushing past the line of death a while ago was more severe than imagined, but facts are facts. Liu Yi twisted his body, evading Xiao Lin’s fist once more, then quickly retreated to the backside of the platform, near a patch of woods.

Liu Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then screamed loudly, his robust body stamping fiercely, as if already prepared, his body shot into the air with a swift 180-degree spin, next crossing several meters, his right leg kicking out like a shadow in motion.

Timing and force were controlled with precision, leaving no room for Xiao Lin to attack or cushion himself. Xiao Lin’s expression changed slightly, seeing he had no means of evasion, he could only choose to let go, crossing his wrists, his fists formed a shield, actively confronting the fierce iron leg.

Bam! In an instant, the low thud of impact spread all around, making the victor and the vanquished instantly clear.

Xiao Lin’s stance was unstable, forced back several steps by the powerful shock.

Liu Yi’s expression changed dramatically, yet he did not want to leave things unfinished like this, his footing was incredibly precise, and taking advantage of Xiao Lin’s retreat, he suddenly delivered a kick of significant force.

Already at a disadvantage, Xiao Lin grimaced with some pain, yet he still lifted his arm to block, but this time he was forced back six or seven steps, eventually crashing into a tree.

Unrelenting in his advance, Liu Yi’s legs seemed like untiring iron legs, filled with strength, inexhaustible in their thrust, the sharp leg wind was not at all sparing energy, each kick landing on Xiao Lin’s body.

The fallen Xiao Lin was somewhat disheveled. Facing Liu Yi’s frenzied attacks, he was at a complete disadvantage, though he tried to use his fists to counter Liu Yi’s legs, only to end up with a bent wrist.

Right at this moment, Liu Yi suddenly halted his attacking stance, looking at Xiao Lin with surprise, as if pondering a question, or perhaps waiting for something, yet Xiao Lin never revealed what Liu Yi wanted to see.

"What are you still waiting for?" Xiao Lin roared out.

"Your true strength!" Liu Yi said, pointing towards Xiao Lin’s chest.

Xiao Lin clutched his right wrist with his left hand, looking at Liu Yi with a blank expression.

"The terrifying power residing within your body."

Terrifying power? Obviously, Xiao Lin had not yet realized the meaning in Liu Yi’s words. The latter, however, had no intention of giving him a moment’s thought, with a deep growl, his body paused only for a brief halt, his left leg swiftly targeting forward, the tip of his foot like a drill aiming directly for Xiao Lin’s face, as if to shatter his head.

Bam bam bam! Xiao Lin’s right hand flew around defensively, blocking the blows, yet Liu Yi’s mastery of leg techniques had reached an almost divine level, and although Xiao Lin was strong, in Liu Yi’s presence he was like a helpless child.

What was this terrifying power exactly? After dozens of consecutive moves, Xiao Lin switched from holding Liu Yi’s right leg with his left hand to extending both hands in defense; the next second, his body fell to the ground then surged forward again, like a battle-tested warrior, who had gone through numerous life-and-death trials, only by amplifying his bodily functions to the maximum limit, attacking, attacking, actively attacking without the slightest pause in active aggression!

Liu Yi sprang into action, his legs kicked swiftly, his body tracing a bizarre arc, fast like a whirlwind, a frenzied series of kicks forced Xiao Lin to somersault backward in retreat. At that moment, Liu Yi’s feet suddenly stomped on the ground, his whole body shot up, performing a magnificent spin in the air, and the next second, his feet came together tightly, crashing down like a cannonball.

The speed and strength were perfectly executed, combat is not solely about absolute strength; in a life-or-death battle, the brain is equally important.

Xiao Lin showed a serious expression, confident that he could dodge, but he decided not to do it... Suddenly, he rose, slightly crouched, one hand tracing through the air, and with a tightly clenched fist, he punched fiercely towards his opponent.

Xiao Lin’s speed was rapid, his force immense, without any additional adornments!

The next second, bang! A dull sound echoed, shaking Xiao Lin’s right arm as the powerful force infused into his body, causing him to tremble and retreat, for several seconds.

In contrast, Liu Yi was blasted backward by that punch, his body clearly unbalanced, crashing heavily into a tree, causing a tremor. The next second, he quickly used his hands to push off the ground, bouncing back, retreating several steps, warily locking onto Xiao Lin.

"Haha, seems like you’re back to a normal level!" Liu Yi laughed.

Exhibiting his true strength, Xiao Lin was someone no one could underestimate.

Previously, Xiao Lin just didn’t calm down!

A warrior on the battlefield, once he loses his composure, no matter how formidable he is, he will be reduced to mediocrity.

Liu Yi showed no expression, yet his body was drenched in cold sweat. Just now, if he hadn’t reacted quickly, slightly bending his knees before the punch connected, the force might have caused his legs to fracture, split.

Xiao Lin squinted his eyes, locking onto Liu Yi, walking slowly, his left hand swaying gently, blood already dripping from his knuckles.

Clearly, even he didn’t fare well from the previous heavy strike.

"Warm-up’s over!" Xiao Lin chuckled, secretly raising the True Qi within his body a level higher.

"Warm-up?" Liu Yi replied lightly, shaking his legs. "Since you’re ready, I won’t hold back."

Aside from slight panting, Liu Yi’s offensive didn’t weaken at all. The brutal onslaught, tightly suppressed Xiao Lin, each move closely tied to the next in a relentless storm-like assault.

However, gradually, Liu Yi discovered that Xiao Lin, seemingly firmly suppressed, wasn’t as passive as imagined. From start to finish, apart from that one punch-counter to the kick, he hadn’t launched any attacks. Two possibilities: one is he’s struggling to resist, the other is he’s unwilling to act first.

As an esteemed Military Doctor feared by all, having such modest abilities was automatically ruled out; meaning now Xiao Lin was truly just warming up, he was... toying!

This thought struck Liu Yi’s mind, his gaze turned cold, toying? Complex emotions like anger surged like a flood. He suddenly roared, his body halted, and a foot swept out!

Compared to the magnificent shock of previous moves, Liu Yi’s fury-driven strike seemed somewhat mundane, but Xiao Lin, being targeted, could feel the terrifying force contained within, likely gathering all the power into this unadorned sweep.

"Liu Yi, you’ve acted impulsively." Xiao Lin returned the words verbatim. Although the strength was immense, the attack was strong, any observant person could see his emotions fluctuated. His toes tapped the ground, sideways stepping half a pace, not too much nor too little, perfectly evading the attack.

Huh? Liu Yi’s face froze, not expecting Xiao Lin to choose to avoid, the burst of impact suddenly missed, at this moment, even though he was formidable, his body struggled to balance, nearly free-falling heavily to the ground, bouncing a few times, palm hitting the ground, only then rebounded again.

Yet in the moment his body bounced up, he already saw a figure appear abruptly beside him.

So fast! Heart trembling, Liu Yi could hardly think, his body hadn’t touched the ground, his arm already instinctively curled, delivering an elbow strike backwards.

Though flustered, Liu Yi was still exceptionally swift, his attack remaining incredibly fierce.

But ultimately, his strike was hasty, not yet grounded, posing little threat to Xiao Lin.

Suddenly, the left hand struck out, slap! With pinpoint precision, it directly intercepted, fingers exerting force, pierced the flesh like an iron needle, simultaneously, the right hand transformed into a palm, chopping down sharply.
