As he entered this deep, narrow alley, Lu Yu heard noises behind him. At the moment, he turned around slowly, only to see the black business vehicle from earlier had already blocked the entrance of the alley.
Soon after, the van's door suddenly opened, and a group of burly men slowly stepped out of the vehicle. Among them was Chen San, who Lu Yu had beaten up not long ago.
Seeing this, Lu Yu laughed. In this world, there's never a shortage of smart people, nor a shortage of self-important fools.
Clearly, these big men with their brawny physiques were typical examples of the latter.
Scanning his eyes over the robust men in front of him, there weren't many of them—only eight—but each held a steel pipe, which, paired with their hefty figures, exuded a somewhat intimidating aura.
After the eight men got off the vehicle, they slowly surrounded Lu Yu. Amongst them, a man with a big gold chain scanned Lu Yu and turned to Chen San, "Chen San, were you really taken down by such a simpleton?"
A cold sneer was evident in the man's words, clearly not taking Lu Yu seriously.
Hearing the man's words, Chen San let out an awkward laugh and said, "Brother Peng, this guy is really strong with some combat skills; I just got caught off guard by him!"
"Tch," this so-called Brother Peng scoffed at Chen San's words, showing a disdainful expression. He then pointed at Lu Yu and said, "Such a weak-looking runt? I could cripple him with one punch!"
"Brother Peng, this guy is really something…" said Chen San, but before he could finish, Lu Yu interrupted him directly.
"Hey, are you done? If you're going to make a move, hurry up; I'm short on time!"
At this moment, Lu Yu crossed his arms, swept his gaze over the eight of them, and said lightly with an expression full of disdain.
These people were not worth worrying about for Lu Yu; he didn't take them seriously at all!
"Fuck, putting on airs with me, I'll knock you out with one strike!" At this moment, a robust man behind Lu Yu heard his words and cursed before raising the steel pipe in his hand, striking it hard from behind!
The saying goes, no matter how skilled you are, you still fear a meat cleaver. If this man's steel pipe struck solidly, at the very least, it would result in a concussion!
Feeling the sound from behind, a fierce glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes instantly. He hadn't expected that a thug would be so bold, daring to commit violence in broad daylight!
However, Lu Yu wasn't the least bit flustered. On the deserted island, he had faced beasts far more dangerous than these small-time thugs!
With that thought, Lu Yu abruptly retreated, not even bothering to turn his head, then quickly spun around and delivered an elbow strike backward, hitting the man's jaw behind him with incredible speed!
Bam!
With a dull thud, the man was hit by Lu Yu's elbow in the jaw. Within an instant, his eyes rolled back, and he fell unconscious on the ground, the steel pipe in his hand clattering to the ground with a crisp sound.
Seeing this, Brother Peng's face not far away showed a trace of shock. At this moment, he was suddenly enraged and shouted angrily, "Damn! Everyone, get him down!"
Hearing Brother Peng's words, everyone was momentarily stunned, then charged toward Lu Yu.
But Lu Yu's movements were quicker; he suddenly kicked and hit one thug right in the chest. With overwhelming force, the thug spat a mouthful of blood and his brawny body flew backward, slammed into the ground, creating a heavy sound.
After kicking out, Lu Yu didn't pause. Rapidly, he turned around and punched another man in the face, instantly knocking him out.
They say not getting hit is the best defense; just one hit, and his movements were like the wind, the steel pipes couldn't even touch him, but every move knocked a thug out instantly. His actions were swift and fierce, without the slightest hint of hesitation; with every action, there was always someone down!
A few seconds later, amid Brother Peng and Chen San's astonished gazes, the hefty henchmen were all knocked out by Lu Yu, lying all over the place.
"Just these guys dare to come for revenge?"
Looking at the utterly shocked Brother Peng, Lu Yu said calmly, his tone full of indifference and disdain.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Chen San's heart suddenly tightened; aside from himself and Brother Peng, the six burly men armed with steel pipes couldn't last even a minute against Lu Yu. Such skills made their whole bodies tremble involuntarily.
"You! Come here!"
At this moment, Lu Yu pointed at Chen San and spoke coldly, his words filled with calmness.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Chen San was almost scared out of his wits. He stood frozen in place, trembling all over, showing his extreme fear.
Seeing Chen San trembling continuously, a cold gaze passed over Lu Yu's eyes, and he said, "I'm calling you, are you deaf?"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Chen San shivered all over. He then steadily walked in front of Lu Yu, his face displaying extreme fear.
Originally, after being beaten on the subway, he had harbored resentment, and after Lu Yu got off, he kept tailing him from a distance. After seeing Lu Yu enter the Victory Group, he immediately called people to wait here for Lu Yu to come out. He thought that with eight of them, they could easily teach Lu Yu a lesson and avenge his subway humiliation.
But he completely miscalculated how fierce Lu Yu was, taking down six big men in a few seconds, filling his heart with dread.
Looking at the trembling Chen San, Lu Yu chuckled coldly, then said, "Didn't get enough of a beating this morning, came here to die this time?"
Lu Yu's eyes were calm, but his words were filled with a murderous aura.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Chen San broke out in a cold sweat instantly, trembling all over in fear, unable to speak a word, looking at Lu Yu with nothing but terror.
Chen San's heart was filled with fear; taking down six robust men in a few seconds left him without any urge to resist.
"This brother here," Brother Peng, standing by, seeing Lu Yu's cold gaze, spoke boldly, "We were wrong in this matter. We admit our mistake. Please be lenient and forgive us."
"Forgive you?" Hearing Brother Peng's words, Lu Yu laughed, then said, "You brought a group armed with steel pipes to attack me, and now you want to let it go with just a simple apology? Do you think that's possible?"
