Want me to slash your face a few times?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng's expression remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply mimicked a professional boxer, standing sideways with his elbows protecting his ribs, eyes fixed on the gleaming switchblade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the opponent was about an arm's length away, his shoulder twitched and he suddenly advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right arm powered forward, and his fist, as quick as a bee sting, shot through the air towards the opponent's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mao had not expected him to be so brave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively threw his head back and raised the switchblade, intending to slash Fang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was just a feint!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng threw a fake punch with his left, swiftly pulling it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his right leg shot up in a kick directly aiming for the opponent's groin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mao's pupils dilated suddenly, and with his extensive fighting experience, he knew he had been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly stuck out his butt to dodge this extremely insidious groin kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, taking advantage of his unsteady center of gravity, Fang Cheng reached out with his right hand, quickly grabbing the hand holding the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mao was half a beat too slow to react, and by the time he came to, he found his wrist firmly gripped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up into Fang Cheng's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if mocking, his gaze seemed to say, who told you a boxer can only use his fists?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You motherfucker...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to resist, to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found Fang Cheng's fingers clamped around his wrist like iron tongs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he struggled, the deeper they bit into his flesh, tightening around his bone as if they were about to break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter half of his curse was choked back into his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain made him break out in cold sweat, and with his other hand, he frantically slapped his thigh, yelling again and again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—let go quickly... let go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The switchblade fell from Huang Mao's hand, hitting the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng kicked the knife away with the tip of his foot before releasing his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Iron Fist\" effect greatly strengthened the bones and muscles in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did not only make his fists harder but also logically improved his gripping and grabbing strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice the constitution of 11 points, which is the inhuman effect of 22 points constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng surmised that even if he directly grabbed the blade with his hand, the injury he'd sustain would likely be minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we keep it down now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast his gaze down at the hoodlum kneeling before him, who continued to wail in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll give your grandpa a quiet,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mao was still stubborn, cursing once before shakily reaching out with the right hand that bore a dark bruise imprint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to pick up the switchblade and make a few gestures again, clearly thinking that his opponent had been deceitful and won dishonorably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng's gaze flashed upon seeing this, and his relaxed fingers clenched into a fist once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sound of knuckles crashing against the jaw, Huang Mao, like a pendulum hit, fell straight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he lay flat on the ground, as silent as if he had been given a dose of surgical anesthetic, no more noise coming out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a hot water bottle suddenly slammed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his companion defeated, another energetic young man, Adong, also abandoned the child and launched a sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng leaned back and twisted his hips, crossing and changing his steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deftly maneuvered to avoid the attack, swung to the weak side of the opponent, and struck out two punches in a reversed warrant posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!
