Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Bone-Bursting Skill
As Hong Qing advanced step by step, Long Wu’s face turned deathly pale, and he was rendered speechless.
The entire room of guests fell silent, too scared to even breathe.
Just as Hong Qing prepared to make his move and finish off Long Wu, Mr. Ouyang finally snapped.
"Stop!"
Hong Qing frowned.
"Mr. Ouyang, I’ve already told you. This is a matter between our two gangs. I hope you’ll stay out of it."
His tone was cold, carrying a distinct hint of warning.
Ouyang Tianqi was fuming, sputtering with rage.
’In his entire life, when has he ever been so humiliated?’
"Tang Feng!"
Ouyang Tianqi commanded coldly.
A man who served as his secretary stepped forward from behind him.
"Yes, Mr. Ouyang."
Ouyang Tianqi pointed at Hong Qing, his expression dark as he said:
"Go up there and teach this arrogant fool a lesson. And remember—so long as you don’t kill him, anything goes!"
"Yes, Mr. Ouyang."
Tang Feng slowly straightened up, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.
’Oh, an Inner Family Expert?’
With just a glance from a distance, Qin Tuo immediately sized up Tang Feng.
Although Tang Feng appeared to be one of Ouyang Tianqi’s secretaries on the surface, he was, in reality, a retired ace operative from the Hidden Dragon Special Forces, a man of exceptional skill.
His sole mission was to serve as Ouyang Tianqi’s personal bodyguard.
At Ouyang Tianqi’s command, Tang Feng would go through hell and high water without a moment’s hesitation.
"How dare you disrespect Mr. Ouyang? I’ll make you regret it!"
Tang Feng spoke slowly as he walked toward Hong Qing.
Then, he unleashed a surging aura, so oppressive it was suffocating.
Sensing this power, Hong Qing’s expression flickered.
But he wasn’t afraid. On the contrary, he burst out laughing.
"So, you’re an expert? You seem pretty skilled!"
Tang Feng sneered smugly.
"If you know what’s good for you, get on your knees, apologize to Mr. Ouyang, and beg for his forgiveness!"
At this, Hong Qing only laughed harder.
"I know you’ve got some skills, but so what? I’ve received guidance from a true master, and my power has surged recently. Even you are no match for me. Just let Long Wu come up here and face his death!"
"Arrogant fool!"
Tang Feng snorted coldly, killing intent flaring within him.
He felt he had been deeply humiliated, especially in front of Ouyang Tianqi.
He exploded off his feet, lunging forward with a power-laden fist.
"Haha, bring it on!"
Hong Qing laughed arrogantly, remaining completely still without taking any kind of defensive stance.
’Oh? What’s this?’
Even Qin Tuo was slightly taken aback.
But a moment later, a look of realization dawned on his face as if he’d figured something out.
’He’s not even dodging? He’s courting death!’
Seeing Hong Qing make no move to dodge, the killing intent in Tang Feng’s eyes grew even more intense.
He decided this one punch would beat Hong Qing half to death!
"Hit him! Kill that Hong Qing! He’s too damn arrogant!"
Seeing Hong Qing stand there without dodging, the guests couldn’t take it anymore and started to clamor.
THUD!
The fist slammed heavily into Hong Qing’s chest. Tang Feng narrowed his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips.
But in the next instant, his eyes went wide, and his smile froze on his face!
"What? Impossible!"
The surrounding guests erupted in a collective gasp of disbelief.
Hong Qing had taken the full force of the punch to his chest, yet he hadn’t moved an inch or shown any reaction at all.
He even offered a scornful smile.
"I gave you a free shot. Now, it’s time for you to take a punch from me!"
Tang Feng’s expression changed drastically. He’d never expected this guy’s skills to be so unorthodox.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Qing’s fist was upon him. It was too late to dodge!
Facing the punch hurtling toward his face, Tang Feng let out a furious roar and quickly raised his arms to block.
BOOM!
Although he blocked the punch, the immense force sent him stumbling backward uncontrollably.
CRACK!
He only managed to stop after crashing through a table, shattering it to pieces.
A sharp numbness shot through his arms, and it felt as if his bones were about to shatter!
’Damn it, how is he this strong?’
Tang Feng gritted his teeth against the pain, his face contorted.
Seeing that even Tang Feng had been defeated, the corner of Mr. Ouyang’s mouth twitched violently.
In his memory, Tang Feng was practically invincible. He had never seen him in such a pathetic state.
The guests’ faces were pale. Were they really going to let this Hong Qing walk all over them and piss on their heads?
Chen Wenxiong and his daughter, Chen Man Ni, quietly approached Qin Tuo, their faces etched with worry.
"Qin Tuo, what are we going to do?"
Chen Man Ni asked worriedly.
Chen Wenxiong was also dejected. The banquet had been going so well, a great chance to make connections, but Hong Qing had completely ruined it. What terrible luck!
Qin Tuo reassured them.
"It’s fine. Hong Qing won’t be getting away with this for long."
"Oh? Qin Tuo, what makes you so confident?"
Chen Man Ni looked at him, puzzled.
Seeing the look of utter indignation on Tang Feng’s face, Hong Qing roared with laughter.
"What’s wrong? Still not convinced? Then come on, I’ll beat you until you are."
"Don’t get too cocky, kid!"
Tang Feng gritted his teeth in anger.
Hong Qing burst out laughing!
"Cocky? I’ve earned the right to be cocky. If you’ve got the guts, try me again. But let me make one thing clear: I won’t go easy on you just because you’re Mr. Ouyang’s little follower!"
"You bastard! I’m going to kill you!"
As a special forces operative, when had Tang Feng ever endured such a humiliating insult?
His eyes went bloodshot. Losing all reason, he was about to charge forward again.
"Don’t be reckless!"
Suddenly, a hand grabbed him, holding him fast.
Tang Feng was startled. ’What incredible strength!’
But his mind was so clouded by rage that he didn’t think much of it.
It was Qin Tuo. He just shook his head slightly at Tang Feng.
"You’re no match for him. Let me handle this."
Still seeing red, Tang Feng was dismissive and snorted coldly.
"You? With that scrawny frame of yours? He’d kill you with a single punch!"
Qin Tuo just smiled, unbothered by Tang Feng’s tone.
"But you don’t even know what technique he’s using. If you charge in blindly, you’ll never get past his defense. How can you possibly fight him like that?"
Tang Feng frowned and retorted.
"I don’t know his technique, but you do?"
His tone was dripping with impatience.
Mr. Ouyang suddenly flew into a rage and snapped.
"Tang Feng, is that any way to speak to Mr. Qin?"
Tang Feng immediately snapped back to his senses, standing stunned and not daring to utter another word.
Qin Tuo waved his hand dismissively and continued to explain.
"The Cultivation Technique Hong Qing is using is called the Bone-Bursting Skill. It provides an incredible defense. Without the proper method to counter it, you won’t even be able to scratch him."
’So it’s called the Bone-Bursting Skill...’
The crowd nodded in understanding.
Long Wu and Tang Feng also had looks of dawning realization.
Just then, the wild laughter on Hong Qing’s face slowly faded, replaced by an incredibly grave expression.
He studied Qin Tuo carefully, then spoke slowly.
"Kid, how do you know about the Bone-Bursting Skill?"
