If he could have fought, he would have done so long ago. However, he wanted Rascal Chen to surrender sincerely, and he wanted the villagers to know that Liu Hun was not an insignificant man! He stared at the one-eyed old woman lying on the mat and said to Rascal Chen, “Rascal Chen, are you saying your mother is unconscious and can’t wake up?” Rascal Chen shouted angrily, “Isn’t that obvious? What living person would lie on a mat like that? Liu Hun, stop dawdling. If you can’t cure my mother, then pay up quickly and let us smash some things!” “Fine, that’s what you said.” Liu Hun chuckled. He walked over to the one-eyed old woman and squatted down. He had to admit, the one-eyed old woman was good at playing dead. Just by looking at her, she really seemed like someone in a coma. If he hadn’t caught a glimpse of her finger moving earlier, he might have been fooled himself. “Rascal Chen, I’m telling you this for the last time. If your mother doesn’t get up, the needle I’m about to use really isn’t something a human can endure! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.” Liu Hun wasn’t a heartless person. After all, they lived in the same village; they saw each other every day. He didn’t want to sour their relationship. However, if Rascal Chen kept targeting him, he really didn’t mind teaching him a lesson. Rascal Chen spat, “Liu Hun, you’re just talking nonsense. Your medical skills might be able to treat a cold, but anything else, forget it! With your petty abilities and pretending to be an expert!” Liu Hun no longer looked at Rascal Chen; he already knew what Rascal Chen was thinking. Since both of them were talking like this, he felt helpless. Many people crowded closer to Liu Hun. He looked at the one-eyed old woman, “Old woman, I’m telling you, if I use this needle, even a strong person might not be able to withstand it. If you think you can’t take it, get up immediately, and I might spare you. But if you don’t...” Before he could finish, Liu Hun glanced at the one-eyed old woman. Her eyes were shut tight, without a twitch, as if she had tossed his words into the clouds. He had heard from many doctors that the most painful places were the palms and soles of the feet. But today, he would try it out! Liu Hun took a needle in his hand and forcefully stabbed it into the one-eyed old woman’s palm, then moved the needle to her ankle and aimed it at her sole, stabbing vigorously. Repeating the action two to three times not only didn’t wake the one-eyed old woman up in pain, but it also made many people present believe that her unconsciousness was real. Liu Hun was puzzled. After these needles, the one-eyed old woman seemed unfazed, still lying on the mat. There was a limit to how much pain a person could endure. He smiled and pierced the needle into the one-eyed old woman’s palm. Just then, Rascal Chen behind him erupted, “Liu Hun! What are you doing, you bastard? If anything happens to my mother, I will never forgive you!” A stream of white energy suddenly surged from Liu Hun’s fingertip, penetrating the one-eyed old woman’s body through the needle, continuously attacking her meridians and acupoints. “Ah!” The one-eyed old woman cried out in pain, leaping up like a startled frog, jumping back and forth. Although the energy was within the one-eyed old woman’s body, it moved according to Liu Hun’s will. Rascal Chen, seeing his mother running around frantically, shouted, “Mother? What’s wrong? Aren’t you supposed to stay down no matter what?” “I can’t take it! I really can’t take it!” The one-eyed old woman wiped the sweat off her forehead in agony. Their conversation reached the ears of many villagers. Everyone knew that these two had come to cause trouble for Liu Hun, and their words just confirmed their intentions. With a thought, Liu Hun recalled the energy to his wrist. “Comfortable, really comfortable.” The one-eyed old woman touched her stomach, exhaling as if releasing a heavy burden. Seeing the one-eyed old woman was fine, Liu Hun said in a deep voice, “Rascal Chen, your mother is fine now. You destroyed things in my house, shouted outside my door, trying to ruin my reputation. We’ll settle these accounts today. Let everyone see how I teach you a lesson!” “Liu Hun! Who’s the dog isn’t certain. Don’t think you can steal our business just because you can treat a few injuries and diagnose some illnesses. Today, I’ll show you my prowess, make you afraid to bark in front of me!” With that, Rascal Chen rolled up his sleeves, his eyes spitting fire, “Get him!” Behind him, three men with strange hairstyles rushed forward, swinging at Liu Hun. The crowd gasped, and many widows in the village quickly closed their eyes, afraid to watch. Before they could fully close their eyes, Rascal Chen was already flying through the air and landed heavily on the ground. “Courting death!” Seeing a white-haired thug swinging a punch, Liu Hun struck his abdomen with a powerful blow, causing the white-haired thug to nearly vomit from the impact. Liu Hun didn’t stop there. He grabbed the white-haired thug’s wrist and swung him, immediately colliding with two others. Like meteors, the three of them fell to the ground. Liu Hun spat, kicking the three of them, causing them to cough up blood, their spirits crushed. Shocked! The one-eyed old woman, uncle, and many widows watched Liu Hun’s simple yet elegant moves, which rendered the three men unable to get up. Rascal Chen clutched his stomach and stood up, thinking four against one was a surefire win. But he never expected this guy to be so tough, knocking him out in seconds. Liu Hun exhaled, feeling a surge of energy flowing through his meridians and energizing his entire body. With this power, he felt invincible. Liu Hun clapped his hands and said, “Rascal Chen, do you see now how skilled I am? Now get lost!” Rascal Chen held his abdomen, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Liu Hun. He wanted to fight him but couldn’t match his strength. No matter how many people he brought, in Liu Hun’s eyes, it was like slicing soft tofu. “I... I...” Rascal Chen glanced around, his eyes landing on the butcher’s knife outside the fence on the chopping board.
