"Heh, I'll make you pay!" A cold glint flashed across the middle-aged man's face. The moment he finished speaking, he threw a straight punch. He hadn't used his full strength, believing Li Se to be just an ordinary person whom a casual punch could cripple.
To his surprise, the punch missed the moment it was thrown. He hadn't even seen how Li Se had dodged it. However, his reaction was swift. After the first punch missed, he threw another, this time with a bit more power and speed. In the blink of an eye, the punch was right in front of Li Se.
The punch was fast. Before the fist even arrived, the wind generated by the punch had already messed up Li Se's hair. But Li Se showed no panic. He took a step back, raised his hand, and with a casual flick, neutralized the middle-aged man's punch. At the same time, the back of his hand struck the middle-aged man's chest.
With a bang, the middle-aged man was sent staggering back several steps. His face showed a hint of shock because he genuinely hadn't expected Li Se's martial arts to be so formidable. Although he had been dismissive earlier and hadn't used his full strength, even so, it wasn't something an ordinary person could handle. This was enough to indicate one thing: Li Se was no ordinary person, but a master!
"I underestimated you!" The middle-aged man patted the front of his clothes, his expression becoming more solemn. His aura changed instantly, suffused with killing intent. With a cold shout, he attacked again. This time, both his speed and power were incomparable to before, and his movements were as fast as lightning.
"Kid, I'll show you my true strength!"
The middle-aged man leaped into the air, soaring two to three meters high, and stomped down with a powerful kick, full of force!
Li Se didn't meet the attack head-on. Instead, he sidestepped a couple of steps. The kick landed where he had been standing, narrowly missing him, but the ground beneath it was shattered, demonstrating the immense power of the kick.
After missing, the middle-aged man let out a cold snort. His fist transformed into a palm strike, slashing horizontally towards Li Se's neck!
Every move was a killing blow!
"Be careful!" Su Mei exclaimed in alarm.
Li Se, however, looked relaxed. He ducked his neck back, and the palm strike missed again. This time, he didn't continue to defend but switched to offense. A silver needle appeared in his hand and shot out. Just as the middle-aged man was about to attack again, the needle pierced an acupoint on his chest, rendering him immobile.
"What's going on?!" The man's face changed.
"Acupoint pressure technique," Li Se said calmly.
"You know acupoint pressure technique?" he asked incredulously. As a master, he naturally knew about acupoint pressure technique. However, it was very difficult for ordinary martial artists to execute it. Firstly, they needed to be extremely precise with acupoints. Secondly, even if they knew the location of the acupoints, it wasn't guaranteed to work just by touching them; internal energy was required. At this moment, he realized the gap between himself and Li Se.
Especially this flying needle technique, which was not something ordinary martial artists could perform.
Not long after the fight between Li Se and the middle-aged man ended, Xiao Hei also broke free from his arduous struggle, having knocked down the other men in suits. When he witnessed the flying needle and acupoint pressure technique, he was slightly shocked, but it was fleeting, and his expression quickly returned to impassive.
"I admit your strength is great, even greater than mine. But you need to think clearly. I am from the Su family in the capital. Even if your martial arts are powerful, do you think you can win against a prominent family in the capital?" The middle-aged man knew he was no match, so he brought up the Su family. If this mission failed, he would also be punished.
"There's no chance of winning, after all, I'm just a doctor. However, you want to capture Mei-jie to be a medicinal catalyst. As a doctor, I cannot stand by and do nothing. I can tell you responsibly, there is no medicinal prescription in this world that uses a person as a catalyst!" Li Se said solemnly.
"I will relay your words back. However, I must take the young lady back today. If you don't want to offend my Su family, you'd best let me go. The Su family's affairs are not for you to interfere with!" the middle-aged man continued to threaten.
"I will not go back with you. That old man is dying and wants to drag me down with him. How ridiculous!" Su Mei certainly didn't want to sacrifice her life, even if it could save the Su family patriarch, she didn't want to trade her life for his.
"Young lady, you cannot escape what the master has decided," the middle-aged man gritted out. "Kid, do you hear me? Let me go, or else, the Su family..."
Slap!
Before he could finish speaking, Li Se slapped him across the face. "Are you done yet?"
"You dare hit me?" The middle-aged man's face darkened.
Li Se kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach again, sending him flying more than ten meters away. This time, it became quiet. This kick was enough to severely injure the middle-aged man, who would likely be bedridden for half a month.
"Mei-jie, let's go." Li Se ignored these people and got into the car.
Su Mei glanced at the middle-aged man before getting into the passenger seat. She looked at Li Se with a complex expression, a smile appearing on her lips. "Thank you today. Otherwise, with Xiao Hei's strength, he wouldn't have been a match for them."
"To be honest, the Su family from the capital is not something I can handle right now. You should think about the aftermath," Li Se said helplessly.
The Su family was not like the Feng family. This was a true second-rate prominent family. If he truly provoked such a family, the trouble would be immense.
"I know." Su Mei nodded, then suddenly thought of something, her beautiful eyes holding a peculiar look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Li Se felt somewhat uncomfortable. This woman was constantly trying to use her charm on him. It wasn't exactly intentional charm, but Su Mei possessed a naturally alluring physique, and every smile and glance was captivating. Many men couldn't resist such temptation and ended up being firmly controlled by Su Mei. This was the terrifying power of her innate charm.
With a single glance or gesture, Li Se had to circulate his Qi cultivation technique to suppress it. He genuinely feared losing control at any moment.
"I just thought of a problem," Su Mei said.
"What problem?"
Su Mei looked at Li Se and smiled slightly. "Your medical skills are so good. If I ask you to go to the capital to treat my grandfather, wouldn't all problems be solved? With your medical skills, treating that old man shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"If you can get the Su family patriarch to come here, I might consider it out of respect for you and help treat him. However, it's clearly impossible for me to make a special trip to the capital." Although Li Se would go to the capital in the future, it wasn't now, so it was impossible for him to make a special trip for the Su family patriarch.
Hearing this, Su Mei knew that even if he could treat him, it was unlikely. Firstly, Li Se wouldn't specifically go to the capital for the Su family. Secondly, even if she praised Li Se's medical skills to the heavens, the Su family patriarch would never come to Qingyun City specifically. This was because Li Se was too young and had no reputation, and the Su family would never trust him.
Thinking of this, she sighed. The Su family had failed this time, but what about next time? Who knew who the Su family would send next.
"Heh, what a coincidence!"
Just then, a chilling voice rang out. It was none other than the wealthy second-generation heir who had been pursuing Su Mei earlier!
