Tu Lang nodded and responded, "Alright, I also really want to experience the boss's methods!"
Tu Lang, this fellow, was a pirate leader!
His subordinates were all a bunch of unruly desperadoes!
If he didn't have some skills, he certainly wouldn't be able to control these guys.
Similarly, if Liu Kai Xuan didn't display some skills, it would be difficult to subdue this Tu Lang.
"Choose your weapons!" Liu Kai Xuan gestured with his hand.
"No need!"
Tu Lang shook his head and chuckled, "It's just for fun!"
"If we use weapons, it would be bad for our camaraderie!"
"Just for fun, can we do whatever we want?"
As he spoke, Liu Kai Xuan reached out again to grab Tu Lang's collar.
Tu Lang had already suffered a great loss at Liu Kai Xuan's hands, and this time, he certainly wouldn't make the same mistake.
In a flash, Tu Lang intended to evade Liu Kai Xuan's grab by sidestepping, and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Because in Tu Lang's opinion, Liu Kai Xuan's combat style was too disrespectful.
No matter what, he had to show Liu Kai Xuan who was boss.
Tu Lang sidestepped, focusing only on his upper body, completely neglecting his lower half.
Although he avoided Liu Kai Xuan's grab, he also kicked Liu Kai Xuan's leg.
He immediately stumbled and fell face-first onto the ground.
As Tu Lang struggled to get up, Liu Kai Xuan had already grabbed him by the collar and pulled him up.
In this exchange, Tu Lang felt extremely frustrated.
In Tu Lang's view, it wasn't that his combat prowess was inferior to Liu Kai Xuan's, but rather that he had been careless and Liu Kai Xuan had tricked him.
If they had engaged in a fair fight with proper stance, he might not have been Liu Kai Xuan's opponent.
Thinking of this, Tu Lang's face began to darken. He used all his might to struggle free from Liu Kai Xuan's grip.
Finally, Tu Lang "succeeded."
It wasn't that Tu Lang's struggles were effective, but Liu Kai Xuan, worried that Tu Lang would tear his clothes by pulling so hard and cause embarrassment, let go of his own accord.
As a result, due to Tu Lang's violent struggle, when Liu Kai Xuan let go, his body lost balance again, and he slumped to the ground.
In fact, by this point, Tu Lang could vaguely sense that Liu Kai Xuan's strength far surpassed his own.
In front of him, he couldn't even make a ripple, like a mere grandson.
However, as they hadn't had a "fair and square" confrontation, Tu Lang was still unconvinced.
After Tu Lang struggled to his feet, Liu Kai Xuan said indifferently, "See? I told you you're no match for me bare-handed!"
"Don't waste any more time, go pick your weapon!"
This time, Tu Lang didn't hesitate. He immediately went to the weapon rack and picked up a long saber.
But then he thought again and switched the long saber for a steel pipe.
After all, this fight was just a contest, and using a saber would be like risking his life.
Liu Kai Xuan had grabbed Tu Lang twice already. The first time, Tu Lang couldn't break free even with all his might.
The second time, Tu Lang broke free and fell to the ground, while Liu Kai Xuan stood still.
Tu Lang could also sense that Liu Kai Xuan was showing him some consideration.
After all, his crew of subordinates were all present.
Tu Lang picked up a steel pipe, and Liu Kai Xuan chose the same weapon.
Then, Liu Kai Xuan gestured and said, "For fairness, you will be the referee!"
"When you say start, we start!"
Afterward, they put two zhang of distance between them.
Tu Lang first patiently adjusted his state and got used to the steel pipe in his hand.
Once he confirmed his condition was optimal, he shouted, "Now!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Tu Lang lunged forward towards Liu Kai Xuan.
Tu Lang believed that the main reason he was at a disadvantage earlier was that Liu Kai Xuan had seized the initiative.
Therefore, this time, he had to hold the initiative himself.
Only then would he have a chance to defeat Liu Kai Xuan.
In reality, Tu Lang's current state was destined to be unable to achieve victory.
Firstly, Liu Kai Xuan's strength was beyond his comprehension.
The gap in their abilities could no longer be described as vast.
Secondly, after two consecutive defeats, Tu Lang was eager for success, and his mindset was completely disrupted.
When one's mindset is chaotic, their techniques naturally become completely disorganized.
In a battle between masters, how can one hope to win with a lack of structure and countless flaws in their techniques?
Tu Lang swung the steel pipe in his hand and charged forward.
Liu Kai Xuan merely sidestepped and avoided Tu Lang's attack.
After Tu Lang's initial attack missed, he swung his weapon horizontally, sweeping towards Liu Kai Xuan's waist.
Liu Kai Xuan then leaped, jumping over the pipe Tu Lang had swept towards him.
As a result, just as Liu Kai Xuan landed and before he could regain his footing, Tu Lang delivered another full-power chop, smashing down fiercely.
This time, Liu Kai Xuan no longer dodged. Instead, he raised his steel pipe and blocked Tu Lang's fierce assault.
With a loud "bang," the steel pipe that had been smashed down was forcefully knocked away.
At the same time, Liu Kai Xuan seized this opportunity, raised his leg, and delivered a powerful kick to Tu Lang's chest.
Tu Lang's body instantly lost its balance, and he sat down hard on the ground.
"I... How is this possible!"
Tu Lang's face turned ashen. He stood there for a long time, unable to believe what he was seeing.
In fact, Tu Lang had always been quite respectful of Liu Kai Xuan.
Back then, Liu Kai Xuan had sent a subordinate to brave Hero Island and kill more than 20 pirates consecutively.
That battle had struck fear into the hearts of the pirates.
But at the time, Tu Lang and the others had only thought that Liu Kai Xuan had simply found a few powerful subordinates.
They never expected that Liu Kai Xuan, as the boss, would be so formidable.
His methods were simply outrageously strong. With Tu Lang's limited skills, he was no match for him.
After Tu Lang got up from the ground, he said submissively, "I admit, I am no match for you!"
"So!"
At this moment, Liu Kai Xuan changed the subject: "You need to train even harder to improve your skills!"
"Only by staying alive can you fight. You must always remain vigilant!"
"Furthermore, you must also have a humble attitude towards learning!"
"Otherwise, if you anger your instructors, the consequences will be very severe!"
"You must know that this Instructor Qing Snake's methods are very formidable!"
"I advise you, it's best not to provoke her!"
