Looking at the expert before him, Qin Fang couldn't help but twist his mouth. It wasn't his first time being cornered, but usually, it was some sleazy guy yelling out and then getting straight to the fight. It wasn't often someone came at him with such a boisterous tone.

"Lei Laohu?"

Hearing this name, Qin Fang was indeed quite surprised. It seemed he had seen a character by the same name in some movie before.

The actor playing that character appeared to be a fatty, but the Lei Laohu in front of him was not. Saying he was more like a bear might be more appropriate—very strong, that kind. Even on such a cold winter day, this guy was wearing a thin coat, vaguely showcasing his fierce muscles.

Although the name Lei Laohu sounded quite domineering, it also had a bit of a kitsch ring to it, but the man himself made Qin Fang quite cautious.

Qin Fang wasn't afraid of any expert below the Grandmaster Level. Even if he couldn't defeat them, Qin Fang could still retreat unscathed. But running away wasn't his goal—he needed more real combat to enhance his strength.

Therefore, whenever Qin Fang faced a Level 5 Expert, he would go all out... even though he was only Level 4 himself.

But Level 4 Experts didn't pose any threat to him anymore; his attributes had comprehensively surpassed those of a Level 4 Expert. Only by facing Level 5 Experts could he continue to make progress.

He had been cornered by quite a few people, but except for Lei Laohu, the others were all negligible. Those ordinary Level 1 thugs, even if Qin Fang didn't make a move, Ning Yumo and Cai Qing could beat them back and forth a dozen times without breaking a sweat...

"What do you think you're doing? I'm a police officer..."

Just as Qin Fang wanted to speak, Ning Yumo suddenly stepped forward and sternly shouted at the bunch of hoodlums.

"Eh... Cop?"

"This beauty is a cop? Brother Hu, what do we do now?"

And sure enough, when Ning Yumo got fired up, her policewoman aura definitely showed through. The gang of hoodlums was immediately subdued by her presence, each of them turning their focus to their boss, Lei Laohu.

"Beauty, this doesn't concern you. If you know what's good for you, you'll leave on your own; we surely won't stop you... But if you don't show some respect, then don't blame me, Lei Laohu, for being rude!"

Ning Yumo could intimidate the small-time thugs all right, but Lei Laohu only slightly furrowed his brows and didn't back down. Instead, he spoke even more arrogantly.

He had backing for the task at hand—unless it was some extraordinary cop, he wouldn't even give them the time of day... Clearly, in his eyes, a beautiful woman like Ning Yumo was at most some office-bound household registration officer. He couldn't care less...

"You... are courting death!"

Ning Yumo was instantly furious. She had quite a reputation as a tough policewoman within the Ninghai Police, and most habitual offenders knew her name; just the mention of falling into her hands made them feel like dying.

But that reputation counted for something in Ninghai, not in Capital City—nobody knew she was a cop here.

And certainly not for someone like Lei Laohu, a Martial Arts Expert with strong backing; he was not afraid of the police and thus was audaciously confident. After all, if things escalated, someone would bail him out.

"Let me handle this..."

Qin Fang naturally couldn't let a woman stand in front of him, and immediately pulled Ning Yumo behind him, facing the imposing figure of Lei Laohu.

Ning Yumo originally wanted to say something, but after glancing at Qin Fang's expression, she obediently stepped back.

"I thought you were someone of importance, but I see I was wrong. You're only capable of bullying women..."

Having positioned Ning Yumo behind him, Qin Fang faced Lei Laohu with an utterly calm expression, showing not a trace of fear, apparently not taking these opponents seriously at all.

"Bullying a woman? Hmph... Would you need a woman to stand in front for you if you were a real man?"

Lei Laohu was unyielding and immediately retorted.

"Is that so?"

Qin Fang sneered, his smile remaining as he looked at Lei Laohu.

For some reason, Lei Laohu felt a sudden unease facing Qin Fang's smile, as if he had done something dishonorable.

"Enough talk, take this~~"

Lei Laohu clearly had no interest in a war of words with Qin Fang, which was not his strong suit; one could tell by his sheer size. He immediately roared and transformed into a robust shadow charging towards Qin Fang.

An expert reveals himself with a single move!

Ordinary thugs typically fought with sloppy, untrained moves, and very few knew any basic martial arts. Professional fighters usually learned simple and practiced routines so that they could respond most effectively on both offense and defense…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

The sound of a palm cutting through the air, forceful like thunder, whipped up the wind, signaling the sheer power and ferocity of the strike.

Meanwhile, the empty left hand adopted a strange posture. As the right palm neared Qin Fang, the left fist immediately followed with a circular counterstrike. Once both hands came together, it resembled the action of a bear's hug...

"Bear Fist?"

As Lei Laohu made his move, Qin Fang's expression changed slightly, a flicker of alarm crossing his mind because Lei Laohu's technique was reminiscent of a ferocious bear, daunting in its power.

At the same time, this technique had a clear hint of Xingyi Fist, and Qin Fang immediately thought of Xingyi Fist's branch—Bear Fist.

Qin Fang had never encountered a Bear Fist expert, nor had he seen the Bear Fist technique, but as a branch of Xingyi Fist, it bore some resemblance to other branches. From the moment they clashed, Qin Fang felt he was facing a peer from his own martial discipline…

Though the stance resembled Bear Fist, Qin Fang's first thought was naturally Bear Fist, particularly since it was a secret technique of the Lei Family, passed down only among its members. Even if Lei Laohu's real name was unknown, the "Lei" in his name made Qin Fang suspect a connection.

Thinking of this, Qin Fang suddenly thought of Cai Qing, who had a matrimonial connection to the Lei Family. Both the Cai Family and the Lei Family were prestigious, so she likely had seen Bear Fist before. While Qin Fang countered Lei Laohu's attack, he couldn't help but look over at Cai Qing, not far away.

Cai Qing had maintained her silence throughout, as if completely uninvolved. Neither Qin Fang nor Ning Yumo thought there was anything odd, considering Cai Qing would love nothing more than to see Qin Fang get thoroughly beaten. Under such circumstances, her reaction was not surprising, yet her expression seemed a bit odd at the moment, as if she had discovered something. (To be continued.
