Just as Wang An was about to reach the kid, Niu Dawei and Niu Dayou suddenly approached from the left and right.
At the same time, Niu Dawei spoke with a face full of apology
"Xiao An, let's talk this through calmly. Dahui just got back; he doesn't know any better."
As he spoke, Niu Dawei reached out to grab Wang An's arm.
Niu Dayou made almost the exact same move, though he wanted to grab Wang An's other arm. Once Niu Dawei finished speaking, Niu Dayou chimed in
"That's right, Xiao An. Dahui has been away for a long time and doesn't really understand how things work in our village. We're all relatives here in the village, don't be impulsive."
The moment Wang An saw these two brothers, he felt irritated to death. Mainly, it was because these two were slippery, deceitful, and malicious.
A while back, because of the matter with the leopard, these two had used moral kidnapping on Wang An, trying to get him to take the dogs into the mountains to risk their lives against the leopard. Because of that, Wang An had cursed them out.
Now these two were coming out to play the good guys again; Wang An knew exactly what they were up to.
While the brothers tried to hold him back, the kid named Dahui was already marching forward aggressively. It was obvious that this Dahui was preparing to beat Wang An up.
Therefore, while the brothers pretended to be good people on the surface, their real goal was to tilt the fight in Dahui's favor.
Understanding this, Wang An immediately cursed at them
"Fuck both of you! Get the hell out of my way before I beat the shit out of you."
Wang An's outburst momentarily stunned the two brothers, as it was clear he had seen through their intentions.
In this locale, fighting was a normal occurrence. Although Wang An's words were directed at the brothers, they served as a warning to everyone watching: stay out of this. Don't think about breaking up the fight or tipping the scales.
Normally, after being cursed at like that, the two of them should have stayed far away.
However, after exchanging a glance, the brothers continued to accelerate their approach toward Wang An.
As they closed in, Niu Dawei said with a beaming smile
"Xiao An, what are you talking about? We're all good buddies, there's no need for this over a little thing."
Niu Dayou added with a sleazy grin
"Exactly. Dahui doesn't know any better; we shouldn't stoop to his level."
Though their words sounded pleasant, their hands didn't stop for a second; they clearly intended to restrain Wang An.
Their behavior was a classic case of "smiling to your face while tripping you up."
The core strategy was: I will do you harm under the guise of mediating the fight, but you can't say I'm wrong because I'm "breaking up the fight."
Truth be told, people like this are the most disgusting, because their attitude is indeed friendly, and their actions leave the onlookers with nothing to criticize.
Unfortunately, they forgot one thing: the personality of a street-tough loafer like Wang An is not bound by so-called moral constraints.
Just as Niu Dayou, on Wang An's left, was about to place his hand on Wang An's shoulder, Wang An executed a "Leaf Bottom Peach Steal" move, landing a punch right under Niu Dayou's armpit. With a miserable scream, Niu Dayou was sent flying sideways.
Meanwhile, Niu Dawei on the right had already grabbed Wang An's arm. Wang An could feel that Niu Dawei was using a great deal of strength.
But to Wang An, no matter how much strength Niu Dawei had, it was useless; it was mere brute force. Moreover, in terms of raw power alone, Niu Dawei was not as strong as Wang An.
Thus, Wang An turned with the momentum, preventing his right arm from taking the counter-force, and immediately followed up with a "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" move, punching Niu Dawei right under the base of the ear—the location of the trigeminal nerve.
Once the trigeminal nerve is hit, nearly ninety-nine percent of people will instantly lose consciousness and faint on the spot.
Naturally, Niu Dawei looked pathetic; not only did he lose his grip on Wang An, but his entire body went limp, collapsing in front of him.
At that moment, the kid named Dahui arrived, raising his leg to kick Wang An in the head.
It must be said that people who are tall with long legs tend to prefer starting a fight with their feet; Wang An was like this, and this Dahui was the same.
Dahui's kick was undoubtedly heavy and powerful. If Wang An's head were hit, he would have been dazed for several seconds regardless of anything else.
Wang An immediately used a "Azure Dragon Probing Claw" move, raising his left elbow high to meet the opponent's large foot, while his right fist hammered viciously toward the base of Dahui's thigh.
To be honest, in this position, Wang An's fist couldn't quite reach Dahui's crotch, which is why he aimed for the base of the thigh.
Otherwise, Wang An's punch would have definitely left the opponent "eggless," letting him experience what it means to be a "ball-less hero."
Even so, Wang An's punch landed solidly on the base of Dahui's thigh.
It was apparent that Dahui had practiced a few moves; at the very least, he had trained his ability to take a hit.
Because although Wang An's punch was brutal, Dahui was not knocked down. After landing, he didn't seem to be affected much; instead, he flipped over and stood back up.
Wang An subconsciously narrowed his eyes, cracked his neck, and stretched his wrists.
Then, Wang An took the initiative and charged forward.
When it came to fighting, Wang An had never been afraid of anyone.
Of course, Dahui was also quite fierce and charged toward Wang An as well.
In an instant, the two clashed.
After a few simple probes, Dahui threw a punch at Wang An's head. While blocking, Wang An followed up with a "Jade Dragon Coiling Leg," kicking his foot toward the opponent's knee.
Unexpectedly, this kick failed to knock Dahui down. As Dahui retreated, his right foot kicked toward Wang An's ribs. With nowhere to dodge, Wang An leaned sharply to the left, supporting himself with his left hand on the ground, while his right leg kicked out toward Dahui's incoming leg.
With this, the two performed a solid mutual kick.
Wang An finally realized that the opponent's legwork was very impressive. As long as he stayed close and didn't give the opponent space to utilize those legs, the other guy would certainly be no match for him.
Thinking this, Wang An pressed forward again.
Sure enough, just as Wang An expected, after only two more exchanges, Wang An used a "Intercepting Elbow Lock" to seize Dahui's left arm.
Immediately after, Wang An placed his right hand on the opponent's left shoulder, and with a "crack," Wang An forcibly dislocated Dahui's left arm.
The kid let out a scream that didn't sound human.
This was not a martial arts competition; among the Eighteen Techniques of Grappling, Wang An used the method of applying force in the opposite direction of the joint without any reservation.
With a lift, a pull, and another kick, Dahui was sent flying to the side.
*** Thank you "Great Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you! Wishing Big Brother happiness, health, and constant joy!
