Chapter 87: It Seems There's No Need for Me to Take Action
Jiang Xueyan was also stunned on the spot, seemingly not expecting that among her cousin's classmates, there would be someone so adept at fighting. However, due to the commotion here, the security forces of Shengshi Dynasty were already swiftly converging on this location.
The next moment, in just a short while, over thirty men dressed in black had already surrounded Zhu Bufan and the others.
A thirty-something-year-old man with a scar on his forehead stepped forward from within the group.
"What's going on?" The man, known as Cao Teng, was the person in charge of this venue and a trusted lieutenant under the boss of Shengshi Dynasty. He had also been a fierce figure on the streets of Tianhai City. Seeing someone daring to cause trouble in his territory, his expression darkened ominously.
Upon seeing Cao Teng's arrival, Jiang Xueyan's face turned even uglier. She was well aware of Cao Teng's terrifying reputation. Just last month, a rich second-generation, relying on his family's wealth, caused trouble here while drunk. As a result, Cao Teng broke his arm on the spot, the bloody scene was still vivid in her memory.
After such an incident, Cao Teng continued to serve as the person in charge here, while the rich second-generation was never seen again.
Now, her cousin's classmate had injured someone from Shengshi Dynasty, and with Cao Teng's temperament, how could he let this slide.
She didn't care about the life and death of Zhu Bufan and the others, but she didn't want her cousin to be implicated. After all, he was her blood cousin, and if something happened here, how could she explain it to her aunt.
"Brother Cao, it was all that little girl's rudeness that offended Boss Wang. I had the boys grab her to apologize, but this kid acted all arrogant, thinking he's capable, and directly struck at the boys. Brother Cao, you mustn't let him off easily!" Having made up her mind, Jiang Xueyan pointed at Zhu Bufan and Li Muyan.
"Oh? Looks like a good fighter, eh? Today, I want to see just how good you really are. Get him, but don't beat him to death!" Cao Teng's eyes swept over Li Muyan and finally rested on Zhu Bufan with a cold sneer.
There were at least thirty people around, all security personnel of Shengshi Dynasty, a dark mass that had already scared Ye Fei and the others pale. They had never seen such a formation before, and now hearing their sister directly targeting Zhu Bufan, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Including Zheng Kai and others, almost simultaneously took a step back, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.
Only Xu Fangfang stood there. Although she too was scared, she knew this incident was caused by her and couldn't just sit back and ignore it.
"It's not like that, it's..." Xu Fangfang started to speak up for Zhu Bufan and Li Muyan, but before she could finish, her hand was pulled back by a wide and powerful hand.
"There's no use reasoning with them!" A calm voice reached her ears, and as she looked at that broad back, Xu Fangfang felt somewhat dazed, as if she was in a dream.
In that instant, one of the men rushed forward, aiming a punch directly at Zhu Bufan's head.
After pulling Xu Fangfang behind him, Zhu Bufan took a step forward and threw a punch, hitting the man squarely in the face, sending him stumbling backward. Then, with another step forward, Zhu Bufan fiercely kicked out his right foot, hitting the man's chin. The terrifying force sent the man flying, knocking down several others, yet still many more men rushed forward.
Zhu Bufan swayed, dodging one man's punch, then grabbed another man's fist, pulling him forward. The man immediately lost balance, falling forward, and Zhu Bufan grabbed his shoulder, pushing him down, and slammed his knee into the man's nose.
Then he let go of both hands, and the man immediately knelt on the ground, clutching his nose and screaming in agony.
Zhu Bufan paid no heed to him, launching another attack to ward off someone else's assault, then landed a punch right in the adversary's chest, sending him stumbling back. With a spin and a side kick, he sent that person flying away, then he grabbed another's wrist, pulled the person towards himself, and swung a fierce punch, smashing it onto the opponent's nose.
Another scream was heard.
In just a brief moment, another seven or eight people lay on the ground. Many were holding their noses and wailing in pain—after all, the nose is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. To conserve energy, Zhu Bufan directly targeted their noses.
This caused the others rushing up again to fiercely protect their own noses.
Zhu Bufan heaved a silent sigh. It seemed impossible to save energy, so he decided to finish the battle quickly.
He no longer held back and, seeing someone charging at him, suddenly accelerated like a charging tiger. He threw a punch at full speed.
The first punch hit right in the opponent's chest, sending the person flying backward, and the second punch did the same to the second person.
Then came the third punch, the fourth punch, the fifth punch. Zhu Bufan was like an unstoppable force, and by the time he threw his seventh punch, seven people had been sent flying away. The last one especially was propelled more than ten meters, crashed into three or four others before stopping, and spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as he landed, his face turning deathly pale. If Zhu Bufan hadn't pulled his punches, that person probably wouldn't be breathing now.
At this point, nearly twenty people had fallen to the ground, everyone's gaze turned to Zhu Bufan, filled with terror. Ye Fei, Zheng Kai, and the others did not expect that this unremarkable-looking fellow possessed such formidable strength.
Xu Fangfang was completely stunned by Zhu Bufan's movements; in that moment, that upright figure, that strong silhouette was deeply engraved in her heart, indelible.
As for Li Muyan, she too hadn't anticipated Zhu Bufan's strength, able to subdue these people just with brute force.
Already full of admiration for Zhu Bufan, her eyes now practically shone with adoration. At this moment, Zhu Bufan seemed to have become her everything.
Suddenly, she felt that dragging him here by 'force' was by far the best decision she had ever made in her life.
Jiang Xueyan was also dumbfounded; it was her first time seeing someone take down dozens of Cao Teng's subordinates singlehandedly, and throughout the process, hadn't sustained any injuries. Even though there were still over a dozen men remaining, they too were filled with fear, hesitating to approach.
Even the fat man known as Boss Wang was flickering his gaze.
"Liu Biao, it seems you'll need to step in and help Boss Li!" the fat man whispered to a man in his thirties beside him.
"Heh, seems like there's no need for me to make a move!" The man sneered and looked towards Li Muyan's direction. A figure had already dashed over...
