Compared to Wolf Ba, Lu Chen's stature was like that of a dog next to a fierce tiger, and almost everyone believed this was a duel with a significant disparity in strength.
However, at this moment, the fighting power displayed by Lu Chen left everyone astonished!
Lu Chen leaped high into the air and once again launched a fierce attack with Crane Demon Strike, his legs striking down like two steel whips, landing dozens of blows on Wolf Ba in just a brief moment.
Roar!
Lu Chen repeatedly switched between Ape Demon, Tiger Demon, Bear Demon, and other ferocious attack styles, unleashing various roars. Even in the air, shadows of monsters appeared alongside his moves, as if the true Ape Demon, Tiger Demon, and Bear Demon had descended.
Lu Chen ran in place, executing the Seven Star Step to approach Wolf Ba in an unusual manner. He spread his five fingers wide and suddenly reached out to target the vital points.
Wolf Ba barely managed to evade to one side but was caught off guard and was slightly dazed by Lu Chen's explosive assault.
With iron claws raking forward, Lu Chen's fingers resembled scythes. With two hissing sounds, he left several bloody scratches on Wolf Ba's bare arm, the wounds appearing as if they had been torn open by a fierce tiger, blood flowing freely.
Wolf Ba looked down to see three bloody scratches on his chest; the flesh wounds were already oozing blood beads that glistened ominously.
Before he could react, Lu Chen's figure flickered strangely and suddenly appeared right in front of Wolf Ba. One hand grabbed his waistband while the other seized his chest's flesh wounds. Leaning back against Wolf Ba, Lu Chen's flesh slightly bent like an Ape Demon leaning against a mountain wall.
With a loud roar, Lu Chen immediately lifted Wolf Ba off the ground and raised him above his head.
This move was known as "Ape Demon Back Mountain!"
The Ape Demon was fierce and violent, resembling an ancient giant with enough strength to carry a mountain. Lu Chen's previous move imitated the ancient Ape Demon carrying a mountain on its back.
"Stop!"
As everyone was shocked and sat up from their chairs, Naval Minister Adolf waved his hand to stop the duel, but by then, the outcome had already been determined.
Lu Chen initially wanted to throw Wolf Ba out forcefully, but upon hearing Adolf call for a halt, he restrained himself and gently placed Wolf Ba on the ground.
Wolf Ba shook his head, looking a bit dazed, as if he had not yet recovered from the earlier battle. Lu Chen's ferocious attacks had left him stunned.
Adolf's face turned pale, standing there in a daze without saying much.
Meanwhile, Sun Zizhao and the others looked on with astonishment; they never expected Lu Chen's Qigong skills to be so terrifying. Aside from a bit of awkwardness at the beginning, he had maintained the upper hand throughout the fight, almost dominating Wolf Ba and ultimately achieving a decisive victory.
Lu Chen stood calmly in place, smiling lightly as he clasped his hands together and said, "Lord Adolf, what do you think?"
There was a bet between Lu Chen and Adolf, and now that Lu Chen had defeated Wolf Ba, it was naturally time for Adolf to fulfill his promise.
Naval Minister Adolf snorted lightly, turning back to sit in his chair. He tapped his fingers gently on the armrest while his thick mustache twitched. After a moment of silence, he spoke up, "Is crafting mechanisms really that impressive?"
In Adolf's view, wooden crafts were only capable of building ships, which were essential and powerful for their Navy.
However, now Lu Chen and the others were asking him to provide substantial manpower and resources to construct a batch of wooden items that were not all ships. This made him hesitant.
But with the bet in place, he had to consider it carefully; otherwise, it would be difficult for him to maintain his dignity as Naval Minister.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen exchanged glances with Chen Qilin. He noticed that Chen Qilin looked extremely disdainful and even angry; this was an outright insult and discrimination against him.
Chen Qilin took a couple of deep breaths, pouting slightly at Lu Chen as if signaling him to show off his skills; otherwise, he would refuse to continue.
Chen Qilin was also wronged. Following the Defender of the Realm, he could have secured a noble title in the Great Zhou Court. But now, for no reason, he found himself in the Yushan Kingdom facing difficulties, which naturally made him uncomfortable.
Lu Chen took a deep breath and pondered how to intimidate the Naval Minister of Yushan Kingdom. Otherwise, with the other party's arrogance, it would be difficult to reach a cooperation agreement. The assistance offered by Princess Zhulan now seemed far from easy.
At the same time, outside the Naval Office of Dama Town, three Daoists emerged from the shadows near a wall, watching as a pair of Leather-armored Soldiers walked further away with their torches.
The three men were middle-aged and exceptionally robust, standing eight feet tall.
Earlier, they had hidden in the shadows behind a pine tree that was large enough for two people to embrace. They cleverly avoided detection by the patrolling soldiers.
The attire of the three men showed that the two behind wore Leather Armor, carrying curved bows and two or three feathered arrows, with short knives sheathed in sheepskin at their waists. The leader also carried a short knife, wore a pointed hat, donned a tiger-patterned robe, and wore riding boots, giving off an air of competence.
The three stepped out boldly from behind the pine tree without attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers. They had concealed their presence exceptionally well and were clearly top-tier Qi Gong Masters.
"Cah Er Hei would rather assign the duty of guarding Heishuiguan to others than to us brothers. This is clearly looking down on us," said the leader, rubbing his hands together with an expression of dissatisfaction.
His eyes darted back and forth as if filled with cunning ideas; he sported a mustache but it was not as thick as Adolf's.
"Indeed, Cah Er Hei has gone too far. Therefore, we are here to assassinate the Naval Minister. If we can secretly present Adolf's head to Kalan Prince, given the current situation in the royal family, you might directly replace Cah Er Hei and become the new Border Minister," one of the men in Leather Armor analyzed.
These three were secretly plotting to assassinate Naval Minister Adolf behind Cah Er Hei's back and intended to present Adolf's head to Kalan Prince.
One of them in Leather Armor chuckled at this thought, imagining that if his brother could ascend to the position of Border Minister, he would at least secure a role as a right-hand man.
If they were assigned to guard Heishuiguan instead, that would be even better. Heishuiguan often saw merchants transporting goods coming and going; just inspecting one could yield plenty of profit.
"Alright, let's get started immediately. First, we need to locate Adolf's room. When the time comes, we'll strike together, kill him, and then leave with his head. Don't be afraid; Adolf only has two skilled fighters by his side, one is Big Fool Wolf Ba, and the other is Sonantu. You just need to focus on Sonantu; Wolf Ba is not to be feared. I can handle him alone," said the leader.
"Okay, big brother, we will follow your lead," the two men in Leather Armor echoed in unison.
After discussing their plan, the three of them crouched low and moved cautiously through the shadows of the Naval Minister's Residence, carefully advancing.
To avoid the patrolling guards along the way, they moved slowly, taking half a quarter of an hour to cover a distance of five hundred steps, demonstrating their exceptional skills.
The three of them leaped onto a low wall about two yards high. Just as they entered the Inner Courtyard, suddenly, a figure rolled agilely and stood up from fifteen steps away, shouting, "Who goes there? What do you want?"
The newcomer was Lian Dashuang. His voice was still quite youthful, resembling an owl's hoot, which startled the three men.
This boy was sharp-eyed for his age; he had been crouching on the roof keeping watch and had spotted the approaching figures from a distance. He held back until they got closer before suddenly jumping down from the roof.
"Who are you? If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
One of the burly men in Leather Armor muttered angrily as he walked over, intending to subdue Lian Dashuang first to avoid disrupting their plan.
Just as he reached out to grab Lian Dashuang and knock him out, Lian Dashuang shouted loudly and swung a punch that deflected the man's arm while simultaneously jumping high and kicking him in the groin.
The burly man never expected Lian Dashuang to strike so quickly and directly attack his vital area. He cried out in pain and nearly jumped up.
"This kid is not to be underestimated! Charge!"
Seeing this situation, the leader immediately reacted. Although this child appeared young, he was surprisingly clever; they could not let their plan be ruined by him.
The three of them lunged towards Lian Dashuang, planning to capture him first before searching for Adolf the Water Master’s residence.
Lian Dashuang was not keen on fighting. Seeing the three approaching, he quickly turned and ran, slipping around the corner of a building and disappearing in an instant.
The three did not dare to be careless and hurriedly chased after him. However, just as they turned the corner, they encountered a young man dressed in black servant attire, standing silently in place, seemingly waiting for them for a long time.
"Unity of Man? When did the Naval Minister's Residence have so many experts?"
This was the thought of the leader among them. Only a Qi Master at the Unity of Man level could conceal their presence from those nearby without revealing their aura.
While Unity of Man is common among those mysterious sects, it is considered a top-tier expert in the mundane world. A Qi Master at the Unity of Man level could easily rise to the rank of general if placed in an army.
"Where are you all headed?"
The young man blocking their path was Old Mu. After months of training, his Qigong had reached the Unity of Man level.
Lu Chen had provided Old Mu with medicinal meals from the Five Element Sect to help refine his flesh. The rapid advancement in Old Mu's Qigong realm could be attributed to these medicinal meals, along with his own diligence and hard work, allowing him to cultivate at a much faster pace than ordinary people.
