Chapter 09: Establishing Authority

Having resolved another issue, Long Chen continued towards the remaining three.

"Sir." Hu Meng had previously received instructions from Long Chen, and no one was allowed to enter without his permission

Both men were entirely focused on the formidable Long Chen. When pushed from behind by Li Qiang, they unexpectedly stumbled and lunged toward Long Chen

Faced with the overwhelming soldiers, Long Chen's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness. This time, he had already decided to establish his authority once and for all. Since it was a battle to assert dominance, he would not hold back. After all, these soldiers would soon become his subordinates, and it would be inappropriate to be harsh with them then. For now, he would thoroughly intimidate and subdue them; other matters could be discussed later.

Oh, so now you know to call me brother? Back when you were with that Zhao Ming kid, you didn't even regard me, this official. Just wait and see how your grandfather will deal with you today

Hello, Hu Ge, hello, Hu Ge, hello, Hu Ge. Li Qiang swallowed his saliva

Four strong men lunged at Long Chen simultaneously. Instead of retreating, Long Chen advanced, colliding with the soldier on the far right. The soldier, seeing Long Chen charging towards him, instinctively attempted to embrace him with his arm, hoping to restrict his movement. If he could hold him for just a moment, Long Chen would become a punching bag for the others.

At last, Long Chen's gaze fixed on Li Qiang, and at that moment, Long Chen's blood had just begun to boil, his eyes glinting with a hint of crimson.

Generally speaking, those who shout slogans the loudest and are the most inspiring tend to be the most cowardly when the time comes. Li Qiang is such a person; at this moment, he has been completely intimidated by Long Chen's martial prowess and lacks the courage to step forward and engage in combat.

You are the only one left, come on

But no one is a fool; those two soldiers were merely cowering, unwilling to step forward

Come on! Long Chen looked at Li Qiang with a provocative gaze, his eyes filled with disdain

At this moment, two soldiers had already closed in on Long Chen from both sides. Both sides threw a punch, and at this point, Long Chen had no way to evade; therefore, there was no need to evade.

In a flash, Long Chen swiftly resolved a situation. He turned and executed a high knee strike, landing squarely on the chin of a soldier in front of him. The kick was fast, fierce, and precise, sending the man flying half a foot into the air. Following that, Long Chen delivered a heavy kick, and the soldier flew out like a cannonball, crashing into the wall and a bookshelf, before slowly sliding down, coughing up a handful of broken teeth.

I obey your command! Hu Meng smiled as he walked up to Li Qiang, flexed his fingers, and shook his neck

Only Long Chen swiftly lunged forward, exerting force with his waist while in mid-air, astonishingly performing a somersault. The soldier at the front had never anticipated such a turn of events and was completely taken aback, receiving a kick from Long Chen that caused all the fish meat he had just consumed and the fish soup he had just drunk to be expelled. A stream of filth spewed from the soldier's mouth.

Hu Meng. Long Chen was naturally not interested in dealing with such individuals who lacked even the courage to resist, but his disinterest did not mean that others shared the same sentiment

Today, let you witness bloodshed

However, they soon found it difficult to remain happy, as the punch felt like it had struck an iron plate, causing a painful recoil in their own hand bones. Meanwhile, Long Chen appeared unfazed, channeling his energy into his dantian, forcefully pushing off the ground with both feet, and spinning in the air. With his elbows extended sideways, the two soldiers attacking from the front and back had no way to evade, and they were struck squarely by Long Chen's elbow. Their faces erupted as if a sauce shop had opened, with black, red, and white colors gushing out all at once, causing both of them to fall backward.

This fellow is entrusted to you to deal with. Once you have taken care of him, bind him up and make him kneel at this door. Since Zhao Ming hasn't returned, we will wait here at the door.

He swiftly dealt with the four soldiers, leaving the remaining four, including Li Qiang, unable to suppress their gulping. This guy is just too formidable. Fear had already begun to show in the eyes of these four, but that was not what Long Chen was concerned about; this battle was far from over

"Brother Long, I was wrong! I beg you to spare me, I implore you, you are magnanimous, just treat me as if I were nothing and let me go." Li Qiang "thudded" to his knees before Long Chen.

This is not over yet. Taking advantage of the moment, Long Chen seized one of the opponent's legs with one hand, twisting his wrist in the process. After the soldier spat out blood in mid-air, he was then subjected to a 360-degree spin before crashing face-first onto the ground, leaving him breathless and unconscious.

Long Chen's combat techniques emphasize swift engagement, breaking the enemy, and killing the enemy. During previous encounters, he had been restraining his instincts; otherwise, Hu Meng and the others would have long since been left without arms or legs. Even Liu Dezhong and Tu Shuji could have been directly eliminated by him during their first confrontation. However, this suppression is something that Long Chen does not appreciate. Combat is not a martial arts performance; Long Chen is a warrior, not an actor. Even Liu Dezhong and Tu Shuji could have been directly eliminated by him during their first confrontation. However, this suppression is something that Long Chen does not appreciate. Combat is not a martial arts performance; Long Chen is a warrior, not an actor

Ah! Oh! Uh! Eh ... ...

The seven or eight soldiers who had been knocked down by Long Chen shot fiery glares at this weakling. Although the brothers had not fought, they had at least put up a struggle, yet now you don't even have the courage to stand up!

Cursing Li Qiang, that bastard, in my heart is now meaningless; I was already unable to defeat him, and now, with my center of gravity unsteady, rushing forward would only be seeking death

Long Chen laughed heartily, completely unconcerned. He forcefully brought his arms together, causing the two soldiers in his embrace to collide, producing a crisp sound of bones being compressed, demonstrating the immense strength he had just displayed. Seeing the two soldiers slump together, sitting back to back on the ground, Long Chen approached and kicked them, sending them tumbling over like overturned onions, rolling off to either side.

Long Chen did not disappoint them; he opened his arms wide and caught the two soldiers who were stumbling towards him. The two soldiers, suddenly finding themselves in an unexpected embrace, were immediately taken aback. However, they still continued to pound on Long Chen's chest with all their might.

Li Qiang gritted his teeth and gave them a strong push on their backs

The two soldiers, upon seeing that they had struck each other, felt a surge of joy in their hearts. They endured each other's punches with sheer force; even a bull would find it unbearable, let alone a human being

However, he was mistaken; Long Chen's collision was beyond his capacity to endure. It felt as if a steel plate had struck his chest with astonishing force. His body involuntarily flew backward, and at the same time, he tasted a sweetness in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood

Then I will see who ends up dealing with whom today, brothers, charge!" Li Qiang waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed towards Long Chen together, while he himself could not help but step back. He knew that Long Chen was truly formidable; even though they were ganging up on him this time, he still felt a sense of unease deep down and preferred to stand back a bit for safety.

Since you are not coming, I will take the initiative to come!

However, at this moment, no amount of disdain can stir the blood within Li Qiang. Some people would rather die than compromise their dignity, yet there are even more who, despite having their dignity trampled upon, still cling to life.

Taking advantage of your illness to take your life, Long Chen quickly stabilized his stance and executed a sweeping kick, knocking the opponent down. If you need to vomit, just lie down on the ground and do so

"Brothers, let's fight him! Together!" Li Qiang shouted.
