Cross Training Masters are nothing like Martial Arts Masters; there's no adherence to fixed moves.
Their biggest reliance is their physical strength, overpowering with sheer force.
Every move is wide and open.
Since Shui Liao started following Ye Guichen, his body, after Ye Guichen's tempering, has become as tough as copper and iron.
Moreover, his strength has reached a new level.
The specially crafted bone weapon he wielded was a full three hundred pounds. Ordinary people could hardly lift it, but in Shui Liao's hands, it was like a toothpick.
As this giant bone weapon swung down, the surrounding air seemed to tremble.
The expert confronting Shui Liao showed no emotion and didn't even try to dodge when Shui Liao struck; he simply raised his iron rod to block.
But clearly, he overestimated himself.
As the iron rod was lifted, Shui Liao's giant bone weapon had already fallen upon it.
Accompanied by the earsplitting crash of metal, sparks flew as the giant bone weapon audibly bent the iron rod, and then struck his opponent's head, smashing open the thick armor.
With just one move, the armored man fell straight to the ground.
A closer look revealed his brains were shattered, blood mingling with brain matter seeped out from the armor.
The remaining three armored men howled, seemingly thoroughly enraged.
One of them lunged at Ning Chengwen.
Ning Chengwen was smaller than Shui Liao. Although highly gifted, having trained in Cross Training skills for a shorter time, his strength was much lesser.
Seeing an armored man swing his iron rod, Ning Chengwen swiftly dodged to the side, deftly leaning forward, directly using his shoulder to strike the opponent's armpit.
Though it seemed like a simple shoulder rush, it sent the armored man flying.
The armored man smashed into the wall, causing it to crumble, then slid down like a pile of mush, twitched once or twice on the ground, and stopped moving.
From the look of it, he was also dead.
In the blink of an eye, two of the Leng Family's Eight Heroes were dead, causing Leng Wencheng's hair to stand on end.
Ye Guichen nodded in satisfaction.
Cross Training Masters rely primarily on their bodies, not moves.
The ideal tactic is to defeat the enemy in one strike.
If the fight drags on, though they can take hits, their stamina depletes severely, making it harder to prevent the enemy from escaping.
Moreover, from the recent combat, Ning Chengwen was clearly more skilled than Shui Liao.
At least Ning Chengwen knew to dodge, while Shui Liao might just take a slash head-on without flinching.
Of course, ordinary weapons would not intimidate Shui Liao, but if faced with a weapon like the Golden Snake Dagger in Ye Guichen's hand, Shui Liao's hardened body would be useless.
The sudden turn of events made the two remaining armored men hesitate.
However, without Leng Wencheng's command, they were fearless.
"Retreat!"
Seeing them about to charge, Leng Wencheng's face darkened: "Ye, we shall meet again. I will repay today's loss doubly!"
With that, he turned and fled over the wall.
The two armored men were startled, blocking behind Leng Wencheng. If Ye Guichen and his men dared to act, they would risk their lives letting Leng Wencheng escape.
Ye Guichen had no intention of following, and gestured for the eager Shui Liao and Ning Chengwen to hold back.
In just a few breaths, seeing Leng Wencheng disappear, the two armored men also turned and fled, vanishing from Ye Guichen's sight in an instant.
They came quickly, and they left just as fast.
Watching Leng Wencheng flee, Ye Guichen smiled, took out his phone, and dialed Duan Nanye's number: "Brother Duan, Leng Wencheng showed up. Next, find his hideout and locate the remaining six of the Leng Family's Eight Heroes. It's on you now."
Duan Nanye was ready to agree but was stunned by the latter half: "What do you mean? The remaining six?"
"Yes, two are already dead."
"What?" Duan Nanye couldn't believe his ears: "Brother Ye, are you joking? How could the Leng Family's Eight Heroes…"
"I'm in the alley opposite the martial arts hall. Come collect the bodies." Ye Guichen cut him off: "Oh, bring a truck. Their armor seems valuable and heavy."
Ignoring Duan Nanye's shock, Ye Guichen hung up after finishing.
He pocketed his phone and squatted down to check if the two armored men were indeed dead.
On inspection, they were really dead.
He removed the helmet of the one whose head was shattered by Shui Liao. The head inside was a squashed mess, nauseating at a glance.
As for the other one, though his body showed no external damage, the impact from Ning Chengwen had clearly ruptured his internal organs.
"Hehe, not bad!" Ye Guichen confirmed their deaths, stood up, and gave Shui Liao and Ning Chengwen a thumbs-up.
Shui Liao just twitched his mouth a bit without much reaction, while Ning Chengwen scratched his head in embarrassment: "Immortal brother, am I awesome now?"
"Indeed very awesome, but there is one thing I must remind you. No matter who your opponent is, you must not confront head-on stubbornly. If you can't win, preserving your life is paramount. The main reason you killed those two was their underestimation of you. If they had been cautious and attacked two-on-one, it wouldn't have been as easy."
Shui Liao nodded quietly, contemplating Ye Guichen's words.
Ning Chengwen grinned: "Immortal brother, I understand. It's like playing the fool to catch the tiger off guard, winning unexpectedly. If really outnumbered, I would be careful."
Ye Guichen was surprised by Ning Chengwen's quick understanding and brightened up: "Chengwen, as long as you know this."
Afterward, Ye Guichen didn't stay long.
With Shui Liao around, Ye Guichen felt no need to send Ning Chengwen to Wang Tianxing's side.
Now that Wang Tianxing was vigilant, Leng Wencheng's hiding place would soon be found by Duan Nanye. It was only a matter of days before this threat was eliminated.
After arranging for Ning Chengwen to rest in the martial arts hall, Ye Guichen headed to the hospital with Shui Liao.
They soon arrived at Wang Tianxing's ward.
The burly man was absent; two unfamiliar faces guarded the outside. As Ye Guichen approached, they blocked him: "Who are you? The chairman is resting, no entry!"
The duo stared at Ye Guichen unkindly, clearly instructed not to let anyone in.
"Get out of the way!"
Before Ye Guichen could speak, Shui Liao raised both hands, pushing them forcefully on their chests.
