CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 105: HOW ABOUT YOU ROLL AWAY FIRST?

Tang Qingrou was startled; she sensed a kindred spirit in Pei Shu’er.

After all, she herself had previously provoked a rift between Pei Shu’er and Niu Qian in this manner!

She never expected that she would be the one caught in her own trap.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Niu Qian staggering to his feet.

His face was covered in blood, and his back was riddled with embedded gravel.

He looked at Tang Qingrou with eyes full of rage.

His heavy hand slapped across Tang Qingrou’s face, knocking her to the ground, ears ringing.

"Incompetent fool, daring to question me. Even now, I can still defeat Pei Shu’er!"

"I want to show Pei Shu’er that after a fair competition, she’s not my match at all!"

"I am the boss of these two mountains."

Tang Qingrou dared not speak further, clutching her mouth, silently shedding tears, hoping to awaken some sense of pity from this man.

But at this moment, even if she cried herself blind, it was useless.

Because Pei Shu’er had already sparked Niu Qian’s fighting spirit.

He never expected that such a seemingly weak girl would be so formidable.

Good, she was indeed qualified to be his opponent!

Niu Qian swayed slightly, approaching Pei Shu’er, who still wore a gentle smile.

She bowed slightly to him, "This time, the loser must compensate the other side for any losses."

This was Pei Shu’er’s true motive.

Niu Qian, not thinking he would lose, agreed.

Niu Qian was the first to strike at Pei Shu’er with a powerful palm, the fierce wind from it brushing against Pei Shu’er’s face, causing her some pain.

This Inner Strength was one level higher than "Initial Understanding."

It was "Initial Glimpse."

Tang Zan’s expression changed slightly; it wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Pei Shu’er, but raw strength and Inner Strength were not the same.

With Inner Strength, martial arts techniques become more fluid and integrated.

Pei Shu’er only had techniques, plus that strange fighting style.

In the face of Inner Strength, Pei Shu’er seemed slightly lacking.

Besides, Niu Qian was extremely experienced in battle.

Even heavily injured, he was still locked in an even match with Pei Shu’er, and Pei Shu’er was gradually feeling strained.

But in a fight, it’s not just about fists; it’s also about brains.

Pei Shu’er rushed at Niu Qian, aiming a punch at his abdomen. Niu Qian raised his arm to block, and Pei Shu’er switched tactics to strike at his head.

They countered each other’s moves, their actions becoming faster and harder to follow.

Onlookers could only hear the sound of fist against flesh; evidently, Niu Qian wasn’t the least bit merciful.

Niu Qian didn’t dare to be.

If he showed mercy, Pei Shu’er would tear him apart.

With her level of ruthlessness, he believed she could definitely do it.

After landing a punch at Pei Shu’er, her body twisted at a strange angle, one hand viciously jabbing at Niu Qian’s injury.

Niu Qian’s strength faltered for a second, and that was the moment Pei Shu’er seized.

Then she began targeting Niu Qian’s pain points and weaknesses using her medical knowledge.

Her speed was so fast that Niu Qian couldn’t react in time.

Beaten back step by step by Pei Shu’er, he couldn’t unleash his martial prowess; his Inner Strength was disrupted by Pei Shu’er, unable to form a cycle.

In desperation, he could only flail with his fists.

In his panic, he exposed his vital spot.

Finally, Pei Shu’er delivered a strong jab to Niu Qian’s vital spot.

Niu Qian’s body shuddered in pain, immediately followed by a heavy kick from Pei Shu’er that sent him rolling down the Deserted Mountain.

The whole Deserted Mountain echoed with Niu Qian’s furious and agonized roars.

It wasn’t until a quarter of an hour later that Niu Qian managed to return to the Deserted Mountain.

He looked miserable, his body littered with wounds.

Niu Qian stared at Pei Shu’er, teeth gritted, his eyes full of defiance.

Pei Shu’er said coldly, "Want to fight again?"

Niu Qian snorted, gestured to his men, and began to leave.

Which meant they conceded.

The crowd was in an uproar.

Niu Qian actually lost?

Couldn’t he still fight on?

Everyone looked at Niu Qian, then at his limping leg and bloodied back, realizing he was indeed badly injured.

Pei Shu’er actually defeated Niu Qian.

This tough, overbearing man.

The one who had tyrannized the exile land for so long without anyone daring to provoke him.

Actually lost to Pei Shu’er.

If they hadn’t witnessed this battle personally, no one would have believed it.

Liu Xu and Tang Qingning finally felt relieved, as long as they were safe, victory or defeat was of lesser importance to them.

But Tang Zan slightly curled his lips, thinking Pei Shu’er was quite formidable.

A real firebrand.

The followers from the third household felt fortunate for tagging along with Pei Shu’er.

Zhang Chao and the others felt vindicated; those people had earlier mocked them as useless!

Now it’s good, they lost.

Pei Shu’er coldly said, "Since you lost, then compensate for the losses, as was agreed."

Niu Qian glared, eyes wide as copper bells, angrily looking at Pei Shu’er.

"What are you saying? What losses do you have?"

Pei Shu’er nodded, "Zhang Chao, Ma He, Liu Di, and Li Zhuang from our third household were injured by your men; now they all need treatment, and you owe us for medical expenses."

Upon hearing this, Niu Qian furiously refused, "Compensate for what? They were inferior and got injured; why should we compensate?"

Pei Shu’er said coldly, "You came looking for trouble, and now you’ve lost. If you don’t want to pay, fine, then we’ll go to your mountain and take what we need."

"I heard you have a valley over there, living quite comfortably. I believe the resources are richer than on our side."

Niu Qian, hearing Pei Shu’er’s words, sneered, "Fine, then go ahead; I’d like to see if you can come back alive."

Pei Shu’er sneered back, "We will certainly visit, but right now, I want you to leave the treatment fees behind."

Now that the biggest threat was down, the others weren’t worth worrying about.

Niu Qian hadn’t expected Pei Shu’er to be so audacious; when had he ever invited Pei Shu’er over?

But thinking about them entering the Yuhua Valley, they were probably marching to their deaths, and he started to look forward to how Pei Shu’er would die.

"If you want compensation, go to Yuhua Valley to retrieve it. Take as much as you want."

Having said that, he turned to leave.

But at this moment, Tang Zan blocked Niu Qian’s path, his eyes were icy.

"Do you not understand human language? How is it that as a man, you’re reneging on your debt? How small-minded."

Niu Qian’s face turned blue and then red at Tang Zan’s words.

But he still considered himself stronger than Tang Zan, this cripple.

He puffed out his chest, trying to put on an air of false bravado.

"Get out of my way."

As soon as this was said, Tang Zan slapped him to the ground, leaving a shallow pit in the earth.

Tang Zan squatted down, eyes full of fierceness, but a smile curled at his mouth, making him appear even more sinister.

"Why don’t you roll for me first?"
