Chapter 442: Hard Qigong

"Is this person really that resistant to hits?" Ning Ruoxue asked curiously.

"Hard Qigong, it resists hits," Chen Yu nodded.

"But standing here to be used as a punching bag, is it really necessary to earn money this way?" Ning Ruoxue was puzzled.

"When a person encounters difficulties, as long as there is a way to earn money, even if it costs them their life, they will lower their head and do it," Chen Yu shook his head.

Another drunken customer came up; this guy took out money and said, "Can I use a weapon?"

"Of course you can, but you cannot use sharp weapons; I can withstand clubs and the like," the big man nodded.

"Good, then I will let myself go," this customer grabbed a golf club and, using all his strength, smashed it fiercely at the big man's body.

The big man let out a shout, his body sank, and his fists were clenched tight.

Bang... This golf club smashed onto the big man's shoulder, and the club instantly bent.

"Good, amazing..." The people around couldn't help but cheer, clapping one after another.

But this customer was not having it; he looked at the bent golf club in his hand and cursed angrily, "Why the hell are you so hard? Do you know how much my club cost? I spent tens of thousands to have it custom-made, what am I supposed to do now that it's bent?"

"I'm sorry," the big man said, stunned, "I don't provide clubs; that is for the sake of fairness."

"I don't care. My club is made of alloy; it took half a year to order it custom, and they come in sets. You have to compensate me; take out fifty thousand yuan and this matter will be settled," this guy said.

"You bent it yourself, why are you holding others responsible for the money?"

"Exactly, if you hit a big tree with your own head and break it, do you expect the tree to pay you?"

The onlookers expressed their dissatisfaction one after another; this guy was clearly drunk and looking for trouble.

"Shut your mouths, you dare to meddle in my, Li Hu's, business? Do you know who I am?" This customer opened his mouth and cursed, "Whoever dares to say another word of nonsense, I'll make you go home limping."

With a villain in charge, it was clear at a glance that this guy was not someone to be trifled with; his words silenced everyone, making them afraid to speak.

"Pay up, take out fifty thousand yuan," Li Hu stepped forward and grabbed the big man by the collar.

"I, I don't have money. My wife is sick, and I don't have money to pay the hospital fees; I came here to raise money for her," the big man said with a troubled face.

"I don't care. You are affecting public order here. Do you believe I'll call the police and have you arrested?" Li Hu shouted, "If you can't come up with the money to pay for my club today, I'll make you go to jail."

"I really don't have money. This... this is the little bit I just earned," the big man was clearly an honest person; he took out a bag containing a few crumpled bills—this was what he had just earned acting as a punching bag.

"This damn little bit of money is worth nothing," Li Hu threw the money in the big man's hand onto the ground and shouted, "Don't think about leaving today if you can't come up with the money."

"I really can't come up with that much money. My wife is very ill, we don't even have money for food, and I still have to go back to buy her something to eat," the big man was truly pushed to his limit.

"How about this? Don't you think your skin is hard? I have a machete here," Li Hu took out a two-foot-long watermelon knife and grinned, "If this knife cuts you three times and you're fine, then we'll call it even."

"How can this person be like this? Who is impervious to blades and spears?"

"That's right, isn't this being unreasonable?"

"Shut up, or why don't you pay me back for him?" Li Hu cursed, "If you don't pay, then keep your mouths shut. I warn you, don't look for trouble for yourselves."

Seeing the fierce and malicious look on this guy's face, the onlookers silently took a step back; after all, in this society, no one wants to look for trouble for themselves.

"How about it? Don't you know Hard Qigong? Aren't you very amazing? As long as you can withstand these three cuts from me, you won't have to pay back the money," Li Hu laughed and shook the watermelon knife in his hand.

The big man fell into Silence; after a long while, he nodded slightly and said, "Fine, I agree, come ahead."

"Let's get this straight first: you asked me to cut you, so if something happens, you must not hold me responsible," Li Hu said with a laugh.

"I won't hold you responsible, hurry up and cut, I still have to go back to the hospital to take care of my wife after you're done," the big man said.

"Alright then, watch out," Li Hu grinned, a cruel look appearing on his face; he let out a loud roar and slashed the knife toward the big man's shoulder.

The big man gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly, and let the machete in this guy's hand slash toward his shoulder.

However, his Hard Qigong had not yet reached the level of being impervious to blades and spears, so if this cut landed, he would inevitably be seriously injured.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and Chen Yu appeared; he reached out his right hand and grabbed Li Hu's watermelon knife.

Ding, this cut landed on Chen Yu's hand as if it had struck a stone.

Li Hu's body shook, and he staggered back a few steps; with a few crackling sounds, the watermelon knife in his hand broke into three pieces, and his web between thumb and forefinger was shaken until blood flowed freely.

"Who are you? You dare to meddle in my business?" Li Hu was furious; the webs of both his hands were oozing blood, and his hands were somewhat numb—now he probably couldn't even hold chopsticks.

"If you had landed that cut, you would have killed him," Chen Yu said calmly, "It is better to be forgiving when possible; he still has a wife to take care of, and besides, you were the one who took the initiative to test his Hard Qigong with a club."

"Who are you? Do you believe I'll deal with you too?" Li Hu was furious.

"I don't believe it. If you have the ability, come and deal with me?" Chen Yu glanced at Li Hu.

"You damn..." Li Hu grabbed another club with his backhand and smashed it toward Chen Yu; relying on the few cups of liquid courage he had drunk, he struck very ruthlessly.

Bang... This club hit Chen Yu's body, and Chen Yu did not move an inch, but the guy's club snapped into two pieces with a crack.

"True Qi Body Protection?" The big man was startled; he looked up at Chen Yu.

They were both people of the Martial Dao; his own strength only reached the level where fists and clubs could not hurt him, and the next step would be being impervious to blades and spears.

But Chen Yu's realm of True Qi Body Protection not only could not be harmed by blades or spears, but it also possessed a rebounding force.

"Fine, you're tough, just wait, I'm calling people over right now," Li Hu was furious; he had some influence in the vicinity, so he grabbed his phone and called to summon people.

"Tell the person you're looking for that my name is Chen Yu. If he dares to come, tell him to hurry up; don't waste my time," Chen Yu said coldly.

Li Hu's hand dialing the phone suddenly froze; he looked up at Chen Yu in a daze: "What did you say your name was? You're called Chen Yu?"

"That's right, Chen Yu of Xinglinju," Chen Yu smiled.

Li Hu couldn't help but shiver; although he had some strength, compared to Chen Yu, he was a joke.

Moreover, it was impossible for him not to have heard of who Chen Yu was; recently, Chen Yu had been in the limelight, and the Four Great Families of Fengling all supported him. What kind of thing was he, Li Hu, to dare to go up against Chen Yu?

"I'm sorry, President Chen, I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai; I didn't recognize you," Li Hu's drunkenness was half-gone, and he hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"If there's nothing else, get lost. What kind of skill is it to bully an honest person?" Chen Yu said coldly, "This friend here wants to deal with you; one slap would take half your life."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," Li Hu bowed repeatedly.

"Get lost," Chen Yu commanded.

"Yes, thank you, President Chen," Li Hu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then slunk away from there.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the onlookers on the side also dispersed.

The big man cupped his hands toward Chen Yu and said, "I am Zhang Dashan, thank you for your help, friend."

"I can tell you are an Inner Family Expert. You could have killed that guy with one punch just now, so why were you so tolerant?" Chen Yu asked.

"My home is deep in the Mountain. I only came here to get Medicine for my wife. Since I'm new here, it's better to avoid trouble." The big man sighed, then packed up the sign on the ground, intending to leave.

"With your martial prowess, anything you do would be better than standing here and taking a beating." Chen Yu became interested in Zhang Dashan.

"I don't have much education, and this bit of Hard Qigong is something passed down in my family. I'm unfamiliar with everything here, so I don't know how to earn money." Zhang Dashan smiled honestly and said, "Sorry, I have to get back to the hospital. Your great kindness, I will repay it if I have the chance in the future."

"Don't be in such a rush to leave." Chen Yu smiled and said, "I am a Yisheng. What illness does your wife have? Perhaps I can help."

"Really?" The big man was overjoyed, but then he sighed and said, "She was originally a successor of the He Family Nine-Section Whip. Half a year ago, she suddenly became very sensitive to cold. Coming here for an examination, it turned out to be a brain tumor affecting her nerves. Although it is not malignant, it is growing in a rather special location, so surgery is required."

"We are both people from deep in the Mountain, and our money has long since been spent clean. If you can help, brother, I would be willing to work like an ox or a horse for you for the rest of my life."
