Chapter 548: Why do you have the power of the Great Protector

"Whoosh—"

The sound of breaking air rang out. As they brushed past each other again, Ying Li's slender hand lifted slightly, and the bamboo hat on her head turned into a fluorescent light, speeding toward him.

Fast as a shooting star, with great force.

Su Quan's mouth curled slightly; he grabbed the bamboo hat with one hand, his body turning with the momentum to dissipate the force.

Immediately after, he put the bamboo hat on his own head.

"A gift for me?" Su Quan asked with a smile.

Ying Li snorted, reached forward, her right foot back, toes touching the ground, drawing a circle lightly.

Starting stance, swaying!

A breeze suddenly rose, and the bamboo leaves on the ground began to sway and dance with her movements.

"Beautiful!"

Su Quan praised inwardly, leaped high, and smashed down with a punch.

Ying Li looked straight ahead, her expression calm, her slender jade hands very precisely grabbing his wrist the moment Su Quan's fist smashed down.

Borrowing force to use force!

Not only did she neutralize Su Quan's strength, but like Tai Chi, she pulled Su Quan's arm, making him involuntarily sway along with her.

Bodies swaying, gazes meeting.

In Ying Li's eyes, there was no ruthlessness; in Su Quan's eyes, there was no panic.

Bodies pressed close, eyes locked, for a moment, an indescribable atmosphere flowed between them.

Ying Li frowned slightly, exerting force to throw Su Quan away, but Su Quan backhanded her wrist, using an effect similar to a 'thousand-pound drop'; not only was he not thrown away, but he pulled Ying Li toward him instead.

"Slap!"

Ying Li threw a punch, but it was caught by Su Quan again.

Four hands between the two, neither had a moment of leisure.

Ying Li kicked up, but was blocked by Su Quan's knee.

Several 'bang, bang, bang' sounds.

The two exchanged several moves with their lower bodies in a solid, iron-horse, hard-bridge style.

"Let go!" Ying Li exerted force to break free, shouting in a delicate voice.

"Alright!"

Su Quan released his grip as promised, but in the moment of Ying Li's surprise, he lunged forward sideways.

A famous Baji technique, Iron Mountain Lean!

Ying Li recognized it, and in a slight panic, she folded her hands together, and the power of the Great Protector began to circulate immediately.

A flash of a light smile crossed Su Quan's eyes, followed by—

"Boom!"

Ying Li flew into the air, landed after flying backward for several meters, and took a few steps back before stopping her figure.

"The power of the Great Protector!"

"Why do you possess the power of the Great Protector?!"

Ying Li widened her eyes, questioning Su Quan in disbelief.

Su Quan laughed dismissively: "Didn't you say you didn't care who I was?"

"Hmph!"

Ying Li snorted in shame and anger, rushing straight over, her long punch whistling toward him.

Su Quan didn't dodge, didn't evade, didn't block, and threw a punch of his own.

Their fists collided, and the power of the Great Protector erupted; golden energy light instantly shone from their fists, forming a counter-colliding energy wave!

"Retreat!"

Su Quan gave a light shout, and the originally evenly matched situation instantly disintegrated; his power of the Great Protector surged, shaking Ying Li away again.

"Bang!"

Ying Li hit a tree, groaned, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"You lost!"

Just as Ying Li was about to get up with her hands on the ground, she saw Su Quan standing before her, smiling and extending his hand to her.

Bamboo forest, breeze, sunlight, smile—this scene made Ying Li feel slightly dazed.

I lost?

Ying Li subconsciously took Su Quan's hand to stand up, then snorted and let go.

"Even if I lost, I won't let you into the village."

Su Quan chuckled dismissively: "One day, you will take me in."

Ying Li looked at Su Quan, asking with probing confusion: "Why do you have the power of the Great Protector?"

"I got it from your son."

"My son? Nonsense, where would I have a son!" Ying Li cursed in shame and anger.

Just because you don't have one now doesn't mean you won't in the future, and it doesn't mean you don't have one in other worlds or other timelines! Su Quan responded inwardly, thinking of the Zombie Shang-Chi from the zombie universe.

Zombie Shang-Chi had already obtained the power of the Great Protector and the Ten Rings, which means the Ying Li and Wenwu of the zombie universe might already be dead?

It's just unclear if Ta Lo village had fallen.

By the way, there's also Shang-Chi's sister, Xu Xialing; she's also a talent.

When I go back to the zombie universe, I should go to Ta Lo and take a look!

The Great Protector and the Dweller-in-Darkness shouldn't turn into a zombie Great Protector and a zombie Dweller-in-Darkness, right?

"Tell me, how exactly did you get the power of the Great Protector!" Ying Li snorted and pressed.

Su Quan shrugged: "Beat me, and I'll tell you!"

"Fine!"

Immediately, Ying Li prepared to attack again.

Su Quan waved his hand with a smile: "Wait a moment, have you had lunch?"

"No, I haven't."

"Then let's eat before we fight!"

As he spoke, Su Quan turned to look at the edge of the bamboo forest and waved his palm lightly.

In an instant.

Wind magic directly cut down a patch of green bamboo...

Not only that, but these bamboos were neatly cut into almost identical sizes.

Stacked in piles, neatly arranged.

Ying Li asked with a surprised frown: "What are you doing?"

"That should be enough."

Su Quan glanced at the bamboo pile that was getting higher and higher and winked at Ying Li.

Immediately after, the bamboo stalks floated up eerily, landed on the nearby open space on their own, and began to assemble automatically.

Bamboo stalks flew in an orderly fashion, and in just a few minutes, a bamboo house took shape before the two of them.

Ying Li looked at the bamboo house in disbelief; it was her first time seeing a house built like this!

A rumbling sound woke her from her shock; the ground beneath her feet seemed to tremble slightly.

Subsequently, she saw a stone table and several stone chairs appear in front of the bamboo house.

The bamboo house, the stone table—all of this left Ying Li in awe.

"Have you been going easy on me the whole time?" Ying Li looked at Su Quan with a complex expression.

She is confident, but not arrogant.

Whether it was the power of the Great Protector that was stronger than her own, or the bamboo house and stone table built with a wave of his hand, all of it indicated that in the fight just now, he hadn't gone all out at all. ===== CHAPTER 550 =====
