“No problem, I’ll put it on the tab.” Luo Shiyi smiled slightly and looked at the two people before him. “A hollow strong man and a girl thin as a stick. Their fists are probably soft and weak, hitting me won’t hurt or itch.”

“Haha!” Zhang Shan laughed in anger. “Won’t hurt or itch? Come try it!”

“Try it I shall.” Luo Shiyi pushed Old Sun aside and walked onto the bridge.

At this moment, all six people had stepped onto the bridge, though the formation was somewhat chaotic.

From left to right: Qiao Jiajin, Xiao Xiao, Zhang Shan, Li Xiangling, Luo Shiyi, Old Sun.

Both teams had become mixed up. Currently, the most important thing was which team could create a breakthrough and lead their side to victory.

Zhang Shan and Li Xiangling had completely entrusted their backs to Qiao Jiajin. The two were concentrating fully on facing the opponents before them.

“Zhang Shan, let me try.” Li Xiangling said. “You be the anchor.”

“Alright.” Zhang Shan nodded. “Be careful with everything.”

Li Xiangling acknowledged and slowly walked forward, saying, “Big guy, you say I’m thin as a stick. I wonder if you can handle my moves?”

The young man called Luo Shiyi didn’t answer. Instead, he kept muttering to himself, “Hollow strong, skinny as a stick, won’t hurt or itch. Hollow strong, skinny as a stick, won’t hurt or itch.”

He seemed possessed.

Li Xiangling stopped paying attention to the man’s muttering before her. Instead, she took a jumping step forward, stomped the ground hard, and gave him a sweeping leg kick.

This strike swept toward the opponent’s softest part, the abdomen. An ordinary person would definitely be injured.

But Luo Shiyi didn’t even block. He took the hit directly with his waist, then swung his fist and struck Li Xiangling’s cheek.

“Ah!”

Li Xiangling was knocked to the ground. Zhang Shan immediately helped her up.

“Are you okay?” Zhang Shan asked.

“I’m, I’m fine…” Li Xiangling had practiced martial arts since childhood, so her physical condition was naturally stronger than the average person. But she really couldn’t understand why the opponent had counterattacked immediately.

“Be careful.” Zhang Shan said. “These lunatics have Echo abilities.”

“Yes, it’s very strange…” Li Xiangling rubbed her cheek. She was clear about the sensation from that kick earlier. She had clearly used great force to kick the opponent’s body. Logically, it should have definitely injured his internal organs, but the opponent felt nothing at all.

“I said you can’t do it, and you can’t.” Luo Shiyi extended one finger and waved it. “You’re far from being able to beat me.”

Li Xiangling’s gaze darkened. She assumed an attack stance again and said, “No matter how thick-skinned you are, as long as I keep hitting, you’ll eventually show an opening.”

“Then come try.” Luo Shiyi beckoned with his hand.

Li Xiangling did as she said. She turned sideways and advanced, spreading her feet wide to establish a solid horse stance. Her right elbow suddenly thrust forward, striking squarely against the opponent’s chest.

This bold and sweeping move was Eight Extremities Fist that Li Xiangling had learned from other companions in her village when she had nothing better to do.

Luo Shiyi hadn’t expected the force of this strike to be so formidable. Although he didn’t feel pain, the enormous impact lifted him off the ground. He flew half a meter through the air before falling to the ground.

Li Xiangling decisively ran forward. Her goal had never been to kill, but rather to cross the bridge. As long as she could get past the opponent, there would only be one enemy left ahead.

But unexpectedly, something appeared beneath her feet again, once more blocking her path.

She looked down to see her feet surrounded by scattered stones.

These scattered stones were covered with moss, and some of the moss had already climbed onto her legs. It was as if these scattered stones had been placed there for many years, and she had been standing there for many years too.

She blinked her eyes, confirmed she was lucid, then quickly bent down to clear the scattered stones. She knew she had to seize the initiative while the opponent couldn’t move, or everything would be in vain.

“Watch out!” Zhang Shan shouted loudly and immediately lunged forward.

Luo Shiyi, who had been knocked down by Li Xiangling earlier, had actually stood up immediately as if nothing happened. His hands were clasped together, as if holding something, and he swung toward Li Xiangling’s head.

Li Xiangling’s eyes widened. She clearly saw the opponent swinging empty air, yet suddenly felt a stone strike her head.

Sure enough, she saw Luo Shiyi holding a broken stone club in his hands. That stone club seemed to appear out of thin air, yet also seemed to have been in his grip all along.

The earlier strike sent sand and stones flying, directly knocking Li Xiangling off the bridge.

Zhang Shan cried out in alarm and immediately threw himself down. At the critical moment, he reached out and grabbed Li Xiangling’s wrist, preventing her from falling directly to the ground below.

“Hey! Girl!” Zhang Shan shouted. “Are you okay?”

Li Xiangling shook her head and slowly opened her eyes, feeling severely dizzy.

“I’m fine… Brother Shan.” Li Xiangling smiled bitterly, but in the next second she saw Luo Shiyi holding another broken stone club, appearing behind Zhang Shan and swinging it violently down toward his head.

“Brother Shan, watch out!!” Li Xiangling screamed.

Zhang Shan’s expression turned cold as his head took the strike solidly.

“Brother, Brother Shan…” Although Li Xiangling was somewhat worried, she discovered that Zhang Shan’s grip on her hand remained strong.

“I thought it would be more powerful…” Zhang Shan sneered. “This is what really ‘doesn’t hurt or itch.'”

Luo Shiyi was stunned.

He turned and waved his hand. Old Sun handed over another stone club.

He mustered all his strength, raised the stone high, then smashed it down viciously.

Stones flew. Zhang Shan still showed no reaction.

Clearly it was Luo Shiyi who had hit the opponent twice with the club, but seeing this scene made him himself retreat several steps.

“What kind of thing is this man?!”

Zhang Shan stood up as if nothing had happened, used one hand to pull Li Xiangling up, placed her behind himself, then reached up to clear the stone debris from the top of his head.

“Fighting is one thing, but actually using lethal force against a little girl.” Zhang Shan’s expression showed slight anger. “Come on, hit me with your club. If I dodge even once, I’ll take your surname.”

He slowly walked forward. His imposing momentum forced Luo Shiyi to retreat repeatedly.

Luo Shiyi reached back with one hand. Old Sun produced another stone club out of thin air.

He was swinging the stone club, about to advance, when Zhang Shan immediately reached out and viciously punched his face.

The muscles on Luo Shiyi’s face all rippled with this punch. Several teeth flew out like wood shavings.

This punch was too heavy.

Zhang Shan knew that even Qiao Jiajin absolutely couldn’t take this punch head-on.

But unexpectedly, after taking this punch, Luo Shiyi immediately turned his head back around and swung the stone club down viciously, striking Zhang Shan’s head once again.

Zhang Shan still didn’t dodge. A trace of fresh blood slowly flowed down from his head.

This strike seemed to make him understand something.

“Your Echo ability, kid… is it the absence of pain?” Zhang Shan wiped the blood from his forehead and asked coldly.

“A pleasure to meet you…” Luo Shiyi grinned with his blood-filled mouth. “I’m Worry-Free. Not just pain sensation—I can’t receive any bad sensations at all.”

“Oh?” Zhang Shan nodded slightly. “So you plan to beat me relying on this ability?”

“Yes.” Luo Shiyi nodded with a smile. “This time, Extreme Path offered a good price, so you must die. Next time if the price is right, I can also work for you.”
