illicit relationship

When Xiao Tian saw his underlings getting beaten up by Lu Peng, he immediately spoke, "Shadow Moon Records, fourth article."

[Shadow Moon Records, fourth article= If you fight against an opponent who is much stronger than yourself, don't fight them head-on continuously. Find your opponent's weakness first.]

First, you could use dirty methods to gain the upper hand in the fight, like throwing smoke bombs or something like that.

Second, you should use the surrounding area to your advantage. If you fought in the forest, you could hide behind a tree before throwing a knife towards your opponent.

Third, if you could not find your opponent's weakness, you had to create it. 

And after finding the opponent's weakness, you could start attacking your opponent, but you had to use strategy too.

*Bust…

Smoke covered the area around Lu Peng.

Lu Peng, who was standing in the middle of the smoke, stood calmly. "Do you think this kind of trick can defeat me?"

"Brother-in-law, be careful!" Shan Shan said worriedly.

Lu Yuzen, who was standing on her right side, spoke abruptly, "Wife, you don't need to worry. My brother is a strong martial artist. This kind of trick is nothing for him."

He believed that Lu Peng would be fine later. In his view, all kinds of tricks were useless in front of absolute power.

His brother was different from his bodyguard. Lu Peng was the real martial artist at the grandmaster stage, unlike Ming Zu.

*Shui…Shui…Shui…

Countless needles flew towards Lu Peng.

"Big brother, be careful! These needles have poison in it." Lu Yuzen gave Lu Peng a warning

Lu Peng was startled.

'Poison?'

Because he was surrounded by smoke and countless needles flew towards him, Lu Peng was unable to block or avoid all of them.

Some of the needles were landed on his arms and stomach. 

'The poison has entered my body, but I can still hold back for five minutes.'

Lu Peng ran through the veil of smoke and attacked one of Xiao Tian's underlings. 

Time was of the essence to him because he got poisoned, so he had to defeat his opponent as quickly as possible. 

"I will show you that numbers are nothing in front of me." After saying that, Lu Peng attacked one of the Shadow gang members.

Lu Peng was a martial artist at the grandmaster stage while the Shadow gang member was still at the high-level master stage, so the difference between their strength was huge.

For this reason, the Shadow gang member could not match Lu Peng's strength.

"Huak…

Even though he managed to block Lu Peng's attack, he was still thrown two meters back.

After wiping off the blood on the corners of his mouth, he immediately rose to his feet, ready to fight Lu Peng again.

When Mu Huo saw Xiao Tian's underlings getting beaten up by Lu Peng, he immediately spoke, "Boss, should I help them now?"

"No." Xiao Tian replied instantly. "Just wait here and look at them!"

Because Lu Peng got poisoned, Xiao Tian still had a calm face. Sure, Lu Peng was a martial artist at the grandmaster stage, he was not an invincible person.

"Hahaha." Lu Yuzen laughed happily when he saw his brother beating Xiao Tian's underlings. "It will be your turn after my brother defeats them."

Shan Shan also smiled happily.

'You have caused trouble in my place, so I will make you pay ten-fold later.'

Her eyes were burning with rage, and she looked as if she wanted to swallow Xiao Tian whole.

At this moment, Lu Peng still tried his best to defeat Xiao Tian's underlings as quickly as possible, but something unexpected happened to him.

The poison spread faster in his body!

Xiao Tian had expected something like this to happen. His future opponents were martial artists, so he knew that some of them could still move normally after they got poisoned.

That was why he asked Long Jingxian to make the poison a little special. The poison would spread throughout the body faster if the person, who got poisoned, used their power continuously.

Lu Peng finally realized this.

'I have to defeat them faster now.'

Because he did not have much time, he used his trump card.

Battle instinct!

Lu Peng gained insight into battle instinct when he broke through to the low-level grandmaster stage. 

Even though he still had not mastered it fully and could only maintain it for eight seconds, but in his view, it was more than enough to defeat Xiao Tian and the others.

'I will attack him first.'

Because he was poisoned, Lu Peng changed his target.

Previously, he wanted to beat Xiao Tian's underlings first before defeating Xiao Tian, but he could not do that anymore now.

Every second was precious to him and could change everything. If he could defeat Xiao Tian, he was sure that everything would be under his control later.

Xiao Tian was startled when he saw Lu Peng. He had gained insight into battle instinct so he could feel the aura around Lu Peng's body.

'His aura suddenly changed.'

After paying attention to Lu Peng's body carefully, he finally knew the reason why Lu Peng's aura suddenly changed drastically.

'Battle instinct!'

He did not expect that Lu Peng had gained insight into battel instinct.

"Everyone, focus on dodging for the next twenty seconds!" Xiao Tian shouted immediately.

Facing someone, who was in the battle instinct mode, was not a good decision because they were weaker than Lu Peng.

Xiao Tian shifted his gaze from his underlings to Mu Huo. "Mu Huo, get ready."

"All right." Even though Mu Huo had no idea as to why Xiao Tian suddenly said something like that, he did what he was told.

Xiao Tian's underlings were startled after hearing Xiao Tian's words.

'Why?'

None of them had gained insight into battle instinct, so they did not know why Xiao Tian suddenly told them to focus on dodging.

Lu Peng was poisoned, so from their point of view, it was better to keep attacking Lu Peng.

Of course, Xiao Tian understood what they had in mind. "Don't ask anything and do as I say."

After Lu Peng was in the battle instinct mode, he dashed towards Xiao Tian.
