CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 130: RAPID PURSUIT (PART TWO) (3000 WORDS!)

The group of men in black suits surrounding him had already noticed Lu Ren’s actions.

Without hesitation, five of them rushed towards Lu Ren, even drawing shiny daggers from their waists.

Lu Ren’s gaze grew colder. As he looked at the man lunging at him with a dagger, he countered with a swift kick to the man’s abdomen. The immense power turned the man’s body into a bow shape in mid-air, flinging him like a broken rag doll, smashing him into the DJ booth.

The raucous music burst out with a few sharp crackling sounds before abruptly quieting. Despite the screams from the crowd that erupted due to the sudden brawl, Lu Ren’s furrowed brow finally eased.

This noisy place had really gotten on his nerves.

Then, advancing instead of retreating, Lu Ren faced the four others wielding knives.

The sound of fists meeting flesh almost simultaneously rang out as the remaining four men were sent flying like springs, the sound of bones shattering mixing with their shrill screams, sending shivers down one’s spine.

These guys were ruthless, wielding their knives without a hint of hesitation, aiming directly at Lu Ren’s vulnerable spots. Lu Ren held nothing back either, using his immense strength to inflict crushing bone injuries on them. They were sent flying by three punches and two kicks.

It seemed like they were barely breathing.

If he hadn’t held back slightly, with his current physical strength, a little more force and he could have literally exploded their bodies.

As for killing, that wasn’t necessary. If they were lucky enough to survive a punch from him, they would be handed over to the Security Department and police for processing. Even if they survived, Lu Ren was confident they wouldn’t lead a normal life again.

If anyone did manage to live a normal life, and he got wind of it, Lu Ren would make a special trip to deal with them again.

In a certain sense, this kind of punishment was more excruciating than death.

The crowd around them screamed hysterically, fleeing wildly, turning the entire bar into chaos.

Meanwhile, the server with the egg-like face, witnessing Lu Ren’s ferocity, looked both frightened and thrilled, showing only her eyes from behind the bar, filled with excitement.

A Martial Artist from the internet had appeared right in front of her!

What was that big guy trying to say earlier? Did he want her contact information?!

Thinking of this, the server with the egg-like face couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement...

Lu Ren paid no heed to this. He took a step forward, shooting out like an arrow, leaping over ten meters to land in front of Xiang Zheng, who was trying to escape in the chaos.

Boom!

With immense force, the metal steps under Lu Ren’s foot bent directly under the pressure.

Facing the panicked gaze of the other, Lu Ren’s towering and imposing figure leaned slightly forward.

"Xiang Zheng, you should know who I am, and why I’ve come to find you."

Before the words were fully spoken, Lu Ren acted decisively, grabbing the other by the neck. Weighing nearly 160 pounds, Xiang Zheng was easily lifted by Lu Ren with one hand, like picking up a chicken.

Effortless.

Xiang Zheng’s face turned red, struggling to breathe, kicking his limbs frantically.

The two men in black suits nearby cursed in anger. Intimidated by Lu Ren’s physique, they still drew enough courage from the guns at their waists.

As the onlookers in the distance saw the guns being drawn, they cried out in fear, scrambling to avoid getting caught in any crossfire.

Guns?

Lu Ren’s eyes flashed coldly; in Hua Country, gun control was strict, and possessing firearms was a serious crime.

Before the two even managed to raise their guns, Lu Ren took a step closer to them with Xiang Zheng in hand. His right foot rose with the swiftness of a diving bird of prey, tearing through the air with a thunderous roar.

Thud! Thud!!

In less than half a second, the two gunmen hadn’t even managed to raise their guns before they were sent flying, crashing heavily onto the dance floor, clearly on the brink of death.

This shocking scene sobered up even those still drunk.

Someone’s dead!

"Holy shit, is this for real? Did he just kick someone seven or eight meters away?!"

"Look at those exaggerated muscles of his, he just lifted someone up with one hand so easily... Wait, isn’t that the owner of this bar?!"

"This guy must be a real Martial Artist, right?! Have you seen the online videos?"

"Holy shit, it’s the Legendary Martial Artist from the internet! Can’t believe I saw this in person today! Damn!"

Someone shuddered with excitement, "I told you, Ancient Martial Arts are real, so is Traditional Martial Arts. They just hide among the public and don’t reveal themselves easily."

"A real Martial Artist!"

The frenzy over Martial Artists battling online showed no signs of subsiding, and the hype continued to grow amidst official silence.

Lu Ren couldn’t care less about the chatter around him. His gaze coldly fixed on Xiang Zheng as he took him into a private room on the second floor.

With a sweeping glance at the revelrous, debauched crowd, Lu Ren, displeased, slammed Xiang Zheng hard onto the glass table.

Instantly, the tempered glass shattered into pieces, slicing the oblivious, hedonistic partygoers who hadn’t even reacted.

The two nearly naked individuals were jolted awake by the pain.

Someone immediately jumped up and cursed: "Damn, who the hell did it, don’t you know..."

"Out!"

Lu Ren’s deep voice rang out.

The cursing man’s voice suddenly stopped, like a startled drake, then he hung his head and bowed.

"Big brother, we have no relation with him, just purely came here to have fun, please don’t be angry!"

He then hurriedly waved everyone out of the private room, none dared to hesitate, the pressure Lu Ren brought was too heavy, everyone felt it was hard to breathe in that room.

Once out of the private room, a woman with thick makeup, a nose ring, ears full of piercings, tattooed flower arm, dressed in a sexy way, looking no more than seventeen or eighteen, couldn’t help but speak: "Brother Wang, with your status, you shouldn’t be afraid of a single person, right?"

Brother Wang coldly snorted and slapped her without hesitation.

The woman held her face in disbelief looking at Brother Wang, about to go mad but remembering his identity, she could only murmur with grievances.

"Stupid woman without eyes, do you not know that guy is holding the boss of this bar?"

Brother Wang had more to say that he didn’t voice, he knew there are real martial arts families in society, the other’s tall physique and full muscles, plus the terrifying strength shown with one hand crushing Xiang Zheng.

Absolutely a martial arts family member, and not a weak one at that.

In the eyes of such a martial artist, once angered, they can kill him on a whim with no place to cry, even in a lawful society now, and the development of modern weapons makes martial arts increasingly obsolete, but who knew he was facing a madman earlier.

Even Xiang Zheng was arbitrarily manipulated for revenge, even if he’s the son of the country’s richest, the other party may disregard that.

In close quarters, every enemy in the country.

Even if revenge comes later, what use is it when he is already dead.

Brother Wang and the group quickly left the scene, faces extremely grim, then he took out his phone and dialed a number.

...

...

Looking at Xiang Zheng lying on the ground, covered in blood from glass shards, with a vicious gaze fixed on him, Lu Ren’s expression didn’t change.

He lightly stepped on Xiang Zheng’s finger.

"Ah!!!!!"

Xiang Zheng struggled violently, his other hand and foot constantly slapping and hitting Lu Ren, but Lu Ren was as unmoving as a mountain.

Seeing this, Lu Ren twisted his foot slightly, intense pain surged through Xiang Zheng’s body, making his nose and tears flow out.

Next, Lu Ren squatted down, reached out his hand slightly dislocating Xiang Zheng’s spine. This dislocation wouldn’t cause overly severe injuries, but the friction of dislocated bones pulling nerves could cause extreme sensitivity to external stimuli, even slight movement could trigger intense reactions.

It’s a kind of torture like being bitten by ten thousand ants, from initial numbness to intense itching, the sufferer would long to tear their own flesh.

This kind of precise human body control is what Lu Ren achieved after mastering the Great Perfection Realm of Fist Technique, reaching a new level of bodily control, with Lamp of Freedom Observation shining through his body state, everything within was clear.

He clearly understood what each part of his body had and its function.

This is a terrifying ability, allowing him to know every part of the body’s sensations, smoothing out any accumulated hidden diseases and injuries, ensuring the body’s ’purity’.

In a way, this is what the Taoist texts describe as Leakless Body.

Furthermore, his Spirit burns as a round pearl in the Lamp of Freedom Observation, showcasing Circular Light and Perfect Awakening, appearing as a halo of spiritual light chasing away darkness as if behind his head, dispelling ominous mist.

If Lamp of Freedom Observation progresses further, it will become even more miraculous.

"Speak or not?"

Lu Ren’s calm voice sounded.

The purgatorial pain nearly made Xiang Zheng’s eyes pop out, his contorted body on the ground just shivered all over, unable to scream.

Snot and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Boss, you didn’t even ask me, how could I speak?!"

Damn, a bit fresh, focused on fighting forgot to ask!

But...

Lu Ren’s face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Still playing tricks with me, you recognized me at a glance, don’t you know what I want to ask, tell me, who?"

Already tortured to the point of wishing for death, Xiang Zheng lost his previous vicious look and spilled the beans.

"It’s Meng Xian, it’s Meng Xian who made me do this!"

Meng Xian?

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, he almost forgot about the matter, yet the other wouldn’t let him go, well, he did kill her only son, anyone would bear a grudge.

Meng Xian has great influence, such a nearly twisted mind likely won’t shy from using any means.
