Bu did not sneak toward the area where the two sides were fighting; he had no intention of hiding his presence at all. He walked over casually, as if taking a stroll.
This action drew the attention of both combatants, causing them to become somewhat distracted and wary of him.
These two groups were not fools; they had long noticed the master and servant duo not far behind the battle.
If Bu could still conceal himself and quietly approach the fighting area, then the gazes of these fellows would indeed be surprising. Were they blind or just foolish?
Yet Bu's leisurely demeanor gave off an air of calm detachment, as if he were simply watching flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard or clouds drift across the sky.
He stood outside the fighting circle, smiling as he observed both sides engaged in combat, occasionally pointing and clicking his tongue, resembling a tourist watching a group of monkeys play at a zoo.
"Ah!"
A loud exclamation suddenly rang out. Bu feigned surprise and pointed at a spot outside the fighting circle.
One of the men in black, who was attacking the two opponents, was startled by this sudden noise.
He looked in the direction Bu was pointing, but found nothing there—just emptiness.
Confused by this unexpected distraction, the black-clad man nearly fell victim to a fierce strike from one of the younger opponents.
In shock, he let out an angry roar and quickly intensified his attacks to regain control of the situation. Meanwhile, he felt a deep-seated hatred for this lunatic outside the fighting circle.
At this moment, Bu had successfully captured everyone's attention. Even the two originally frightened female relatives looked at him in surprise, while Locke, positioned further back, had a twitching expression on his face.
With so many gazes focused on him, Bu felt a sense of triumph akin to that of a serf who had just gained freedom. Seizing the moment, he continued to point at another area, shouting hoarsely.
“Damn it!!”
The crowd in the arena had learned their lesson this time; no matter how heart-wrenching Bu's cries were or how wildly he flailed his arms and legs, they all chose to ignore him completely, not even bothering to glance his way for fear of being enraged to the point of spitting blood.
Bu shrugged his shoulders in frustration, but the fighters were too absorbed in their battle to pay him any mind, which was exactly what he wanted.
He gradually approached the fighting circle of the two young men and the three men in black, all while continuing to emit a series of nonsensical exclamations.
Words like “Lanzhou Flatbread,” “Bagyaru,” and “Spicy Gobi” echoed incessantly.
It was sheer torment; these shouted phrases left both sides of the conflict bewildered, and the screams sounded as if there were deep-seated vendettas involved, like a fierce desire for revenge against a wronged spouse or child.
Several times during the fight, both sides nearly fell victim to each other's mistakes, but they chose to treat this calamity as if it were air. The anger brewing within them was palpable; even the Elder in Yellow's group believed this madman was targeting them.
Taking advantage of the fighters' disregard for him, Bu stealthily closed in on the two young men's combat zone.
He adjusted his stance and quietly observed. Just as one tall man in black stepped back to catch his breath, Bu let out a loud shout and shot forward like an arrow released from its bow, aiming straight for the tall man at the rear of the fighting circle.
“I bought a watch last year.”
"Bang!" "Crack!"
The tall figure in black had not reacted when he was struck full force by Bu's punch to the jaw, blood splattering everywhere, and his cheekbone shattered and deformed.
The black scarf covering his face was torn to shreds by this brute force, blown away by the shockwave.
His body could not withstand the tremendous power and was violently thrown back.
The pain was excruciating; he felt his consciousness beginning to blur, and the shattered, deformed cheek made it impossible for him to even grunt.
Such a tragic outcome filled him with deep regret. He heard the madman shouting incomprehensible words, but he had instinctively learned to ignore them.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Bu had already punched him in the face.
This was a brutal slap in the face, so hard that it no longer resembled a human face; it had become deformed, and even the bones in his neck were shattered from the impact.
"Thud."
The man in black fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth like a fountain. He stared wide-eyed, unable to close them even in death.
Everything that happened in that brief moment was too dramatic, too sudden.
When those who had reacted finally saw the tragic fate of the man in black, they all stood frozen, momentarily forgetting to continue their assault.
Fresh red blood spread across the ground like a crimson carpet, and the wide-open eyes of the black-clad man sent chills down everyone's spine. What a ruthless method!
“Fourth~~! Ah!!”
The first to react was a robust-looking black-clad man. After coming to his senses from the sight of the corpse lying on the ground, he let out a furious and heart-wrenching roar, then charged like a madman toward the lifeless body of his fallen comrade.
Elder in Yellow and the two young men looked at Bu with uncertainty, shocked by his brutal and swift actions.
However, the old man was clearly more experienced than the two youths when it came to such matters. A bright smile immediately appeared on his spirited face as he addressed Bu loudly, “Thank you for your righteous assistance. We are immensely grateful and will surely repay you later. Please join us in facing our enemies together through this crisis.”
After saying this, the old man took a small step back, placed his right hand on his chest, bent slightly, and bowed to Bu with utmost sincerity.
Seeing this, the two handsome young men also bowed to Bu, their eyes filled with eager admiration.
“Hahaha, join forces against me? Old fool, none of you will escape now. You all must die!”
Next to the deceased Tall Black-Clad Man, another burly black-clad man cast a venomous glare over everyone, particularly fixing his cold and sinister gaze on Bu, accompanied by a chilling cackle that sent shivers down their spines.
“Want me dead? Do you even have the right? You talk big; does your family know about this?”
Bu scoffed disdainfully at the burly black-clad man.
He was about to use the same trick again, the one he had used against Ricky, to provoke the opponent and make him lose his composure. Therefore, he spoke as arrogantly as possible.
"You...!"
The burly man in black glared with eyes that burned beneath his mask, feeling his body heat up from the provocation. Anger surged within him, yet he found himself at a loss for words to retort against this sharp-tongued individual.
"Alright, Second, we don't have much time. Let's quickly deal with this group of Fellows. What's there to argue with a dying man?" One of the black-clad men, who appeared quite imposing, shouted in a deep voice.
Upon hearing the words of the Hunchbacked Man in Black, the burly Second Black-Clad Man suppressed his inner fury and steadied himself, responding to the Hunchbacked Man in Black, "Understood, Boss."
The Hunchback Leader nodded slightly and then shouted to the other four black-clad men, "You all hold off that old man. I'll take care of this sharp-tongued brat first. Once I'm free, we'll kill this Old Guy together."
After saying this, the Hunchback Leader turned back to the Second and instructed, "The other two are your responsibility. Just hold them off; don't get hurt."
Seeing that everyone had no objections and respectfully acknowledged his orders, the Hunchback Leader nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.
"Kill!"
Then, the Hunchback Leader was the first to swiftly charge forward towards Bu. The other five black-clad men also rushed towards their respective opponents with agile movements and nimble forms.
"Sir, please be careful. The hunchback's Combat Skills are quite peculiar. It seems to be a rare case of Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts," Elder in Yellow urgently warned Bu as battle was about to commence.
"Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts?..."
The Hunchback Leader's figure had already closed in, and Bu had no time to think, only able to remain alert in his heart. He quickly raised his palm to meet the powerful punch aimed at his chest.
"Bang!" "Hiss!"
The sound of their collision reverberated, but Bu felt a burning pain in his palm, as if it were splitting open, accompanied by the smell of charred flesh wafting through the air.
A chill ran down his spine, and Bu stomped his foot on the ground, retreating swiftly.
He quickly distanced himself from the Hunchbacked Elder and lowered his head to look at his palm.
To his shock, his hand appeared as if it had been scorched by flames, with skin torn and blood oozing. The flesh at the injury was even slightly charred, emitting a pungent odor that made Bu's face twitch in pain.
"Kekeke... How does my Flame Fist taste? Tsk tsk, what a smell..."
The Hunchback Leader looked at Bu's pained expression with delight. He was still quite concerned about the loss of one of his own due to Bu's actions.
His Flame Fist had caused many unsuspecting enemies to suffer greatly.
After all, while the Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts might lead to an inability to fully master either path, if practiced correctly, its combat power should not be underestimated.
He had once been a low-level Level 1 Magic Apprentice, but due to his poor aptitude for Mental Power cultivation, he struggled significantly.
Since he fortuitously became a Level 1 Magic Apprentice over ten years ago and persisted in meditation and training, he had yet to elevate his magic level to that of a Low-Level Mage.
Feeling hopeless about advancing, he decided to stop investing too much energy into magic training and instead took a different path by pursuing the cultivation of Force.
After aligning himself with a Major Force, he gained access to training resources and successfully became a low-level Level 1 Warrior in just four years.
Thus, the Hunchback Leader became a powerful individual who reached low-level Level 1 in both magic and Force.
In battle, he could cast some Level 1 magic skills and combine them with Combat Skills for attacks.
This peculiar method of attack often left enemies frustrated and unable to defend themselves effectively.
The previous move that caused Bu to suffer was the Flame Fist.
It was actually a Level 1 fireball technique executed by the Hunchback Leader, combined with his own Combat Skills to deliver a powerful punch.
By concealing the fireball in his palm and waiting until his fist struck the opponent's hand, he could suddenly unleash the hidden fireball technique, sending it surging through his fingers with great force.
Even if the opponent blocked his punch, they would still be caught off guard and injured by the subsequent fireball attack.
