I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city

"Someone!"

Instantly, Qi Haijiao's eyes turned fierce, and all the muscles in his body tensed.

Just as he became aware, two figures erupted from the darkness, aiming strikes right at Qi Haijiao.

Huang Ao's punch roared like a tiger, directly targeting Qi Haijiao's face, while Wang Longhu's opening elbow struck at the back of Qi Haijiao's head—a surprise attack that no martial artist could withstand unless they were a foreteller.

Although Wang Longhu had never encountered a Huajin master, he was confident that even a Huajin master couldn't withstand his surprise attack.

"How daring!"

Feeling the force of the wind, Qi Haijiao instantly shouted angrily; even though the Lu family's mansion was the Lu family's headquarters, it was equally his territory.

With the Lu family's influence, no one had ever dared to intrude at night, it was entirely unheard of.

In decades, it had never happened, so Qi Haijiao's heart had relaxed its vigilance.

But tonight, this impossible scenario truly occurred, filling Qi Haijiao's heart with rage.

This is a provocation against the Lu family!

A glint flashed in Qi Haijiao's eyes, and in an instant, his palms lightly projected forward, catching the incoming fists of Wang Longhu and Huang Ao.

Bang!

The whole bedroom instantly resonated with a hum, and Wang Longhu's face changed rapidly.

The Dark Force erupted from Qi Haijiao's palms was akin to a hidden undercurrent suddenly rising from the depths, reflecting a terror even Wang Longhu felt.

This person's Dark Force was several times stronger than Lu Tieying's!

"Ugh!"

Just in that moment of contact, Huang Ao was sent flying by a massive force, crashing against the nearby wall like a hanging picture, only falling to the ground after several seconds.

Seeing his body still, it was unclear whether he was dead or alive, weighing heavily on Wang Longhu's mind.

Huang Ao had only trained in Ming Jin, how could he withstand the Dark Force, if he's not dead, he's crippled.

"Who are the assassins sent to rampage the Lu family!" Qi Haijiao shouted coldly, striking a palm toward Wang Longhu's chest.

It is said that when an expert makes a move, it is evident; Qi Haijiao's palm had yet to land, but Wang Longhu's body already sensed a thread of dread.

It was as though his body was conveying a warning of danger to him.

If there existed strengths among Dark Forces, Qi Haijiao would absolutely be considered a peak master of Dark Force!

Wang Longhu dared not be careless, his left arm tightened and surged with power, unleashing a full-force punch.

Tiger Cannon Punch!

Among the Five Elements Fist of Xingyi Boxing, the Cannon Fist was the most fierce. In a master's hand, it resembled a cannonball being released, the power of the fist was explosive.

Anyone daring to take a Cannon Fist head-on was surely not planning to keep their bones intact.

But Qi Haijiao was completely unconcerned, in the blink of an eye, the two's punch and palm collided with a resounding force, their Dark Forces unleashed in a life-or-death clash.

Dark Force is formless. When two Dark Force master clash with Dark Force, it is akin to two waves crashing, where the weaker force retreats, and the stronger absorbs everything.

Bam!

Wang Longhu let out a muffled grunt, two streams of blood sprayed from his nostrils, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Qi Haijiao's Dark Force was utterly overwhelming. If inner strength in martial arts novels is to be located within the human body, it is undoubtedly the Dark Force.

If young inner strength martial artists manage to cultivate Dark Force early on, provided they consistently practice diligently, their Dark Force becomes more robust than other Dark Force masters.

And Qi Haijiao is such a typical example.

If Wang Longhu represents a year of Dark Force, then Qi Haijiao embodies thirty years, even now with an aging body, it doesn't affect his ability to unleash overwhelming Dark Force.

Taking Qi Haijiao's palm, Wang Longhu's Dark Force was overpowered, retreating and entering his body, causing considerable internal damage and leaving injuries.

But Qi Haijiao wasn't unscathed either, though Wang Longhu's Dark Force was inferior, his strength and physique had reached the limits of 4.0.

If Qi Haijiao's Dark Force represented the peak, then Wang Longhu's body stood at the pinnacle of Dark Force mastery.

In terms of strength at sixty or seventy years old, Qi Haijiao couldn't rival Wang Longhu, immediately unable to stand his ground, sent flying backward and barely stabilizing after several rolls.

He looked at Wang Longhu in disbelief, his eyes couldn't hide the shock.

"This guy, such immense power, truly like a bull," Qi Haijiao thought in shock.

He tried to raise his arm, only to find the entire arm quivering, unable to withstand the power of Wang Longhu's two punches.

Qi Haijiao took a deep breath, rapidly tapping the upper, middle, and lower points of his body, immediately his Dark Force sunk into the Guanyuan Acupoint, then surged to the top of his head, as though about to shoot out from his crown.

His arm's tremors quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"Who ever spent such great resources to send a Dark Force assassin, but this person's target seemed to be me..." Qi Haijiao stood up, raising one hand straight and the other to his ear, assuming the classic Hong Fist starting stance.

Entering darkness from a brightly lit environment results in temporary night blindness, only after gradually adapting does one recover slight night vision ability.

Hence at this moment, Qi Haijiao couldn't see a thing, but Wang Longhu had been hiding in this room for some time, able to see Qi Haijiao's silhouette.

Thus he held an advantage in terms of vision, seeing Qi Haijiao's starting stance, Wang Longhu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes erupting with rare fighting spirit.

Last time against Lu Tieying, that fellow was too cowardly, caught in a flaw and killed by one strike, completely unfulfilling, unable to exert his full strength.

Today he unexpectedly encounters another rare Dark Force master, and must engage in a few rounds to test the strength and physique double 4.0 limits, to what degree they lie.

Bam!

With Wang Longhu's sudden leap, he swiftly arrived in front of Qi Haijiao; in a room like this, for Dark Force masters, there was practically no concept of distance.

Within six meters, all was within reach with full-force leaps.

Wang Longhu swung his palm sideways, aiming to slice Qi Haijiao's left cheek, this palm was fast as lightning, even if seen, the brain couldn't immediately respond.

But Qi Haijiao moved with Prophet-like intuition, simultaneously blocking with his forearm against Wang Longhu's palm chop.

He then swung a fist upward, hammering toward Wang Longhu's chin, with a method akin to wielding a huge iron hammer, creating a whistling wind.

Wang Longhu's arm instantly slammed down with an elbow, colliding head-on with Qi Haijiao's blocking punch.

Bang! Bang!

Arm met palm, elbow met fist.

The entire room resonated with a thunderous sound, explosions of force not supposed to emanate from humans arose from where Wang Longhu and Qi Haijiao clashed, causing the room to vibrate with hums.

If not for Qi Haijiao's sufficient soundproofing of the room, this strike could have attracted the mansion's guards.

Qi Haijiao's eyes emitted a glint, as a single arm absorbed Wang Longhu's palm chop instantly, advancing with a straight punch at Wang Longhu's throat.

In that moment the punch launched, the muscles and meridians of his arm expanded, his five fingers as thick as iron awls, leaving no doubt that if this punch connected with the throat, it could break an adult's spine on the spot.

Wang Longhu was stunned, not expecting that such an elderly Qi Haijiao would have such strong resilience against strikes.

Clashing forcefully twice and unharmed, behaving as if unscathed, yet able to seize the initiative in attacking.

Martial artist duels revolve around momentum.

Wang Longhu was a beat late, on the weaker side. Once forced back, he had to use retreat to advance, dodging and seeking opportunity.

He abruptly gathered energy, instantly retreating half a step, just enough to evade Qi Haijiao's punching strike, averting danger.
