The disciple of the Liuhai Sect who was fighting Lin Yichen saw Zhang Ergou and the others show such disrespect.
Naturally, his anger flared up like a wildfire.
This led to his attacks becoming more fierce, and Lin Yichen was once again suppressed, on the verge of collapse.
At that moment, Wang Teng rushed forward, attacking the man from behind.
Just as the man was about to attack Lin Yichen, he felt an attack from behind. He could only reluctantly withdraw his move, turning to face Wang Teng.
"Shameless!" the man snorted, turning to look at Wang Teng with a cold gaze.
"What are you looking at? Your grandpa Wang Teng is here." Wang Teng punched with his left hand and struck with his palm with his right, two different techniques heading straight for the opponent.
"Seeking death!" The man's gaze towards Wang Teng became even more sinister.
"It's you who will die, isn't it?" As the man turned to deal with Wang Teng, Lin Yichen, now freed, landed a heavy punch to the man's back.
However, the man seemed prepared. Lin Yichen's punch only made him stagger slightly, and Wang Teng's two moves were also parried.
"Impressive." Zhang Ergou and the others, watching from the side, frowned. Clearly, the Liuhai Sect disciple fighting Lin Yichen was more agile than any of them had anticipated.
Lin Yichen and Wang Teng, seeing that their first coordinated effort had yielded no advantage, became much more serious.
"Lin Yichen, I'll attack his chest, you go for his lower body."
Wang Teng thought for a moment and said to Lin Yichen, winking at him as he spoke.
"Alright, as you say." Lin Yichen immediately agreed.
"A joke." The man sneered, seeing the two of them openly strategizing their attack.
*Puff!*
The result was far beyond the man's expectations. Wang Teng claimed he would attack the chest, but in reality, he attacked the lower body.
Conversely, Lin Yichen attacked his back. The man, expecting an attack on his chest as instructed by Wang Teng, found himself unable to defend both areas effectively.
"Despicable!" Blood trickled from the man's lips, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Wang Teng.
"Tch, brat, it's all your fault for being too stupid."
Wang Teng paid no mind to the man's murderous glare, still fuming himself.
"Wang Teng is too cocky. Is this something to be proud of?"
However, Zhang Ergou and the others didn't forget to taunt Wang Teng. Seeing him so pleased with himself so quickly, they immediately chided him.
"Exactly. They're just fighting and spitting blood, and the guy's still standing. What's he so proud of?"
Xiao Qingyu chimed in, agreeing with Zhang Ergou, making Wang Teng blush.
Those two fellows were too shameless. Not only were they not helping, but they also wouldn't shut up while spectating. Wang Teng wished he could turn and deal with those two abominable fellows.
Lin Yueru and Lu Xiaoyu watched them bicker with amused smiles.
"Wang Teng, stop standing there foolishly." Seeing Wang Teng dazed, Lin Yichen cried out in alarm.
The man had abandoned dealing with Lin Yichen and was charging straight at the smarmy Wang Teng. This newcomer had thoroughly enraged him.
Even if injured, he intended to drag Wang Teng down with him.
Wang Teng, seeing the man charging at him, yelped and quickly retreated.
But the man's speed far exceeded his imagination. At that instant, Lin Yichen, attacking with full force, couldn't keep up.
Just as Wang Teng was about to take a full punch.
Unable to dodge, Wang Teng quickly swung the weapon in his hand towards the opponent.
However, the man had thrown caution to the wind, his eyes filled with mockery, showing no regard for Wang Teng's weapon.
"Brat, I'll kill you!" the man roared, delivering a powerful palm strike towards Wang Teng.
*Bang!*
The expected impact never came. Wang Teng opened his eyes to see the man lying motionless not far away.
It turned out that at the critical moment, Zhang Ergou, who had been watching, had intervened.
Although he had been scolding Wang Teng incessantly, seeing that Wang Teng couldn't handle it and was about to be injured, Zhang Ergou naturally wouldn't stand by.
Moving at extreme speed, he instantly appeared beside the man and landed a fierce punch to his shoulder.
Caught off guard, the man was sent crashing to the ground by Zhang Ergou's blow.
"Zhang Ergou, you bastard, you animal!"
Lin Yichen, seeing his opponent, whom he had been struggling against, knocked unconscious by a single punch from Zhang Ergou, looked at Zhang Ergou with a complex expression.
Wang Teng also snapped out of his shock. Seeing that he was no longer in danger, he quickly returned to Zhang Ergou and the others.
"Lin Yichen, do you think that breaking through to the Golden Core stage has brought you closer to this kid Zhang Ergou?"
Wang Teng said with a sly smile, looking at Lin Yichen and Zhang Ergou.
"Have you forgotten how monstrous this kid is, or do you think you're back in top form?"
Seeing that Lin Yichen seemed to be stuck in a rut, Xiao Qingyu immediately added, "Yeah, Lin Yichen, this kid Zhang Ergou can't be judged by normal standards."
As Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu spoke, Lin Yichen's expression softened.
In that brief moment, he had indeed been too fixated.
After all, in the Outer Sect, he had been the strongest among all the disciples.
Since entering the Inner Sect, not only had he been suppressed by the inner disciples, but Zhang Ergou, who had always been inferior to him, had also made astonishing progress in cultivation and strength.
This was difficult for the proud Lin Yichen to accept. Fortunately, the timely intervention of Wang Teng and Xiao Qingyu made Lin Yichen realize the truth.
Indeed, comparing himself to Zhang Ergou was like tormenting himself.
To have grown to such a level in less than two years was an unprecedented prodigy in the history of the Misty Sect.
"Let's go, help the others."
Seeing that Lin Yichen had regained his composure, Zhang Ergou then called them to help the other Misty Sect disciples.
With the addition of Zhang Ergou and his group, the one-on-one duels quickly turned into one-on-two or one-on-many situations.
The pressure on the Liuhai Sect disciples increased significantly. Ling Feng'er, who had been fighting Chen Gong, frowned tighter and tighter.
Clearly, ordinary moves were ineffective against Chen Gong. As one of the top experts of the Misty Sect, he had fought Ling Feng'er to a standstill for so long.
This prevented Ling Feng'er from diverting her attention to help others.
The other Liuhai Sect disciples, who had been enjoying their one-on-one battles with the Misty Sect disciples, had their rhythm disrupted by the sudden intrusion of Zhang Ergou and his group.
Soon, their moves began to show weaknesses, and one by one, they were seized upon by the Misty Sect disciples and defeated.
Seeing the increasing number of Liuhai Sect disciples falling on the stage, the elders of the Liuhai Sect wore expressions as dark as if water could be squeezed from them.
They also realized that the troublemaker in this free-for-all was Zhang Ergou, whom their sect leader Liu Xun had ordered to be watched closely.
It seemed that in that instant, the elders understood why the sect leader had ordered Zhang Ergou to be monitored.
