C12 Someone Was Behind Him

"Watch out!"

Behind him, Lee Jiayao screamed in fear.

"No worries!"

Chen Ping turned his head and gave a calm smile. Without even glancing at Achao, his right foot shot out swiftly.

Achao threw a punch, slicing through the air with a force that seemed capable of piercing steel. Yet, he didn't even graze Chen Ping before being sent flying by a single kick.

Thud!

Achao hit the ground!

"So, he's trained in martial arts! No wonder he's so confident!" Achao quickly scrambled to his feet and charged again.

However, by this time, Chen Ping had already turned away, hands clasped behind his back, and delivered another kick.

"Stay down if you fall. If you get up, you'll just get hit again! With that frail body of yours, one kick from me could be fatal! Why put yourself through this?"

With Chen Ping's current strength, he could easily kill Achao with a single slap, but there was no need for that. Of course, if Achao insisted on pushing his luck, that would be a different story.

This time, Achao lay on the ground, struggling to rise, but he had no strength left and was sweating from the pain.

Xu Tianshou's eyes narrowed as he watched.

Achao was his top fighter, yet he couldn't even touch this student before being taken down?

"Impressive skills! No wonder you dared to demand respect from me, Xu Tianshou!"

Xu Tianshou was furious. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, "All of you, get him!"

No matter how skilled a fighter is, it's impossible to take on so many men in black.

Previously, Xu Tianshou had asked Achao about this. Achao had said that he could handle a dozen people and would likely win, but if faced with over twenty, he’d have no choice but to run.

Right now, there were at least thirty men in black in Room 1!

Xu Tianshou thought that no matter how strong Chen Ping was, facing over thirty men in black, he would eventually have to surrender!

However.

In the next moment, Xu Tianshou blinked in disbelief as Chen Ping stepped forward, hands still behind his back, and suddenly swung his right leg in a powerful arc.

In an instant, five or six men in black were sent flying, landing on the ground with cries of pain!

Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Ping unleashed a series of kicks, and with each kick, three or four more men fell.

In less than a minute, all thirty men in black were on the ground, groaning in agony.

Xu Tianshou gasped in shock!

So many people, and they couldn't even take down one student?

And in less than a minute, they were all defeated. It was unbelievable!

Meanwhile, Wang Cheng, Wu Xiaojuan, and the others were utterly astonished. Chen Ping was truly a formidable fighter!

Wang Cheng glanced at Wu Xiaojuan, his eyes questioning. If anyone here knew Chen Ping well, it was Wu Xiaojuan. But she shook her head, indicating she had no idea Chen Ping was such a skilled fighter.

Chen Ping stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Xu Tianshou. He spoke calmly, "Now that you've tested me, do you realize whether I'm someone you should mess with?"

Xu Tianshou felt as if he was being watched by a predator, a chill running through his body. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "I've seen people who can fight as well as you!"

"But even though you're a great fighter, what can you really do to me?"

"Earlier, you asked if I knew whether I could afford to provoke you."

"Well, let me tell you, I can't!"

"Because I have someone backing me up, someone who can fight even better than you, someone who can take on a hundred people alone. With just one call, they can be here. Then we'll see if you still think I can't handle you!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping raised an eyebrow.

Was there really someone behind Xu Tianshou who was even more skilled than him? Could this person be a master of the highest order?

Chen Ping's interest was piqued. If this person truly was a master, it might be a good opportunity to learn more.

After a moment of thought, Chen Ping said, "Go ahead, make the call. I'm curious to see just how skilled this person you're talking about really is!"

Chen Ping turned around and glanced back, then said, "When the fight starts, I don't want any innocents getting hurt. Let my classmates leave. I'll stay and wait for him."

"Alright!" Xu Tianshou agreed without hesitation. Whether the students stayed or left didn't matter much. He was more worried about what might happen if he refused Chen Ping's request.

"Chen Ping..." Lee Jiayao hesitated.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "You all go ahead. I'll call you later! Don't worry, there's no one in this world who can really trouble me!"

Lee Jiayao didn't want to leave, but Song Qingqing gently pulled her aside and whispered, "We can't help by staying here; we'd just be in the way. Once we're gone, Chen Ping can leave anytime with his skills!"

Only then did Lee Jiayao leave with Song Qingqing. Meanwhile, Wang Cheng, Wu Xiaojuan, and the others had already made a quick exit the moment Xu Tianshou agreed. It was just too dangerous here.

Once everyone had left, Chen Ping sat down, looked at Xu Tianshou, and calmly said, "Make the call. I'll wait for him."

Immediately, Xu Tianshou pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said in a serious tone, "Boss, there's someone here who took down over thirty of my men, and even Achao is still down and hasn't gotten up yet!"

On the ground, Achao was filled with shame. He truly couldn't get up; his whole body was weak, and he was sweating from the pain.

Soon, Xu Tianshou hung up the phone and chuckled, "What a coincidence! The person backing me is on their way and should be here in about three minutes!"

In reality, it was less than three minutes before a middle-aged man walked in.

"Baldy Shou, where's the guy? Damn it, these days, even my people are getting messed with? Are they tired of living?"

Lin Hu strode in, immediately spotting the thirty or so men in black suits sprawled on the ground. His gaze then landed on Achao, who still hadn't managed to get up, and his expression shifted.

Then, Lin Hu noticed Chen Ping sitting on the couch with his back to him. There was something vaguely familiar about that silhouette, but he didn't dwell on it.

At this moment, Xu Tianshou quickly stood up and jogged over to Lin Hu, bowing slightly. "Boss! Why didn't you give me a heads-up that you were coming?"

"I drove over here not to see you but to pick someone up. Why would I need to give you a heads-up?" Lin Hu replied casually.

Xu Tianshou was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Who could possibly need you to personally drive over and pick them up?"

"Someone neither you nor I can afford to provoke!" Lin Hu said impatiently. "Where's the person you mentioned? I need to deal with them quickly. I have to pick someone up, and I can't keep them waiting!"

Xu Tianshou pointed at Chen Ping. Lin Hu immediately walked over, his voice cold, "Kid, are you the one..." However, the moment he saw Chen Ping, Lin Hu found himself unable to continue speaking.
