Chapter 1442 1445: One Punch!

"Trash, why do I need to know who you are? Get the hell out now, and I'll leave you a shred of dignity. Otherwise, I'll have someone carry you out!" Zhou Yang sneered, his grin stabbing into Luo Ming's heart like a steel blade, twisting painfully.

A guy from who knows where dares to speak so rudely to me, the popular figure at Heaven and Earth Martial Hall. Luo Ming felt the surrounding henchmen whispering about him, and his face burned with embarrassment.

"Bastard! You sound so absolute, looks like you're itching for a fight, huh?!" Luo Ming spat out through gritted teeth, his face slightly flushed.

"A fight?" Zhou Yang smirked playfully, "With you? What a waste of my energy..."

This was Zhou Yang's truth; even before his Inner Strength progressed, he was confident he could crush Luo Ming. Now, having reached the fourth stage of Inner Strength, he could cripple Luo Ming with two hands and a leg, utterly unchallenging.

"Humph, what's the matter, are you scared? You spoke so boldly, I thought your skills wouldn't be bad either. Aren't you a manager at Longfeng Martial Hall? Are you afraid to fight me?" Luo Ming obviously misunderstood, unable to discern Zhou Yang's cultivation, assuming he was just an ordinary martial artist without Inner Strength.

"Afraid?" Zhou Yang chuckled, as if he'd heard the funniest joke. He looked at Luo Ming and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid your death might frighten the other guests..."

"Hehe... nice talk, how about you try me!" Luo Ming squinted slightly, staring at Zhou Yang, "If I teach you a lesson, hope you shut up; I don't want to spoil Lord Lin's mood at Longfeng Martial Hall..."

"Tsk-tsk... now you think about making peace, bit late for that!" Zhou Yang coldly stared at Luo Ming; probably this guy doesn't know who he's messing with yet! In fact, even without Luo Ming's provocation, Zhou Yang wouldn't spare him, planning to give Luo Ming a deep lesson afterward...

But since Luo Ming showed initiative, Zhou Yang wouldn't dampen his spirit.

"Anyway, since you put it that way, can't say no... let's settle it as you said, as long as you can beat me, I won't mind it..." Zhou Yang chuckled.

"Hope you keep your word..." Luo Ming smiled lightly, confident in defeating Zhou Yang.

After speaking, Zhou Yang slowly walked up to Luo Ming, still laid-back, calmly saying, "You can make your move..."

Cao Ying and Li Liping didn't recognize Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang; they only knew they were Lin Feng's men. Hearing Zhou Yang about to face Luo Ming, Cao Ying couldn't help but warn, "Brother, be careful, he's got some serious skills..."

Cao Ying had seen Lin Feng fight many times, having a bit of an eye herself, vaguely feeling Luo Ming was tougher than Lin Feng months ago, unaware of Zhou Yang's strength, she only warned him.

"Thanks for the heads up, sis..." Zhou Yang smiled slightly at Cao Ying, speaking indifferently.

Cao Ying blushed faintly, thinking Lin Feng's guys are all too familiar... how come every one calls her sis directly, aren't they worried it might embarrass her?

Luo Ming saw Zhou Yang relaxed all along, started doubting himself, vaguely feeling Zhou Yang's power seemed elusive...

But now, there's no turning back for Luo Ming; even if he suspected Zhou Yang's strength, he had no choice but to strike...

"Take this punch..." Luo Ming warned Zhou Yang, slightly bending his body, charging two steps, using half strength for a fierce punch toward Zhou Yang!

"Haha... not even full strength..." Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with mockery, laughing at this Luo Ming's poor judgment and foolishness, not using full force against him, how self-righteous indeed!

But Zhou Yang wasn't going to warn Luo Ming, as the opponent wouldn't go all out, he wouldn't hold back either, aiming to teach a lasting lesson, Zhou Yang swiftly dodged, and landed a heavy punch straight onto Luo Ming's face, sending Luo Ming crashing quickly into a pillar at the hall, where a loud thud followed as his head intimately met the pillar, then he dropped to the ground like a limp snake.

"What, Brother Luo got taken down with one move?!" Luo Ming's henchmen felt a heart pang, looking at the scene in disbelief...

"Boss! Boss!"

"Brother Ming!"

Luo Ming's henchmen rushed to help the dazed Luo Ming, terrified to find Luo Ming, though not bleeding from the back of his head, had turned his eyes white...

"Something's wrong! Boss is unconscious! Go inform Leader Jiang!"

The impact from Zhou Yang's punch stirred noise throughout the banquet hall, nearly a hundred people paused and gathered around, talking fervently...

"What happened, wasn't the one beaten Luo Ming from Heaven and Earth Martial Hall? Isn't his skill quite good, how did he get hurt like that, who hit him?"

"Luo Ming always prided himself, flirting everywhere, seems he offended someone he shouldn't have!"

"Getting knocked down with one punch, who is the person who sent him flying?"

"Appears to be a guy from Longfeng Martial Hall? This should be interesting... Leader Jiang from Heaven and Earth Martial Hall is known to protect his own; he knows Luo Ming's troublemaking but never restrained him, 'cause Luo Ming's skillful and diligent, he's Jiang Gang's right-hand man! This time Jiang Gang will surely stand up for Luo Ming, that kid's in trouble!"

"Haha... I beg to differ, Jiang Gang wants to curry favor with the future Lord Lin; I think he'll endure..."

Listening to the chatter around, Zhou Yang understood Luo Ming's background and character, feeling no pressure from knocking him out... everyone said it, this guy's famous for flirting around, tonight foolishly dared to provoke the boss's woman, getting beaten was only natural!

"Who's so bold to injure Luo Ming?! Get out here!"

Soon, an extremely angry voice came forth, a middle-aged man in an old-fashioned long coat stormed in, eyes bulging, glaring at Zhou Yang, loudly shouting!
