Chapter 1462: A Brutal Beatdown In Chapter 1462, when Black Giant Tin-Beast heard Lu Yun’s words, he instantly became furious. He had always been narrow-minded. When he first found Chun Nini, he had already begun to feel uneasy upon seeing Lu Yun sitting calmly on a mound of earth beside a brick kiln. After being treated like a cold fish at Chun Nini’s side, Tin-Beast’s simmering anger flared up suddenly. With no outlet for his growing resentment, Lu Yun’s single remark struck a nerve—no matter how Chun Nini tried to intervene, it made no difference. “Little guy, I’m going to squash you!” With a powerful arm swing, the delicate Chun Nini was instantly sent flying to the side. Freeing himself from his restraints, the sturdy Black Giant Tin-Beast charged straight at Lu Yun with a roar. “Hmph. Thinking of a fight?” Lu Yun, watching Tin-Beast charge at him, rolled his eyes and immediately assumed a defensive stance. However, when the iron giant charged forward two steps toward Lu Yun, Lu Yun suddenly stepped in with a quick pad, lifted his right leg, and delivered a straight kick—his foot, with the sole of his shoe, striking the iron giant's small abdomen with lightning speed as he surged forward. "Ow! Goodness! That hurts!" The iron giant, driven forward in a powerful charge, was sent staggering, retreating in a series of three or four steps before finally kneeling down, hands clutching his abdomen in pain, face twisted with discomfort. Though he had been defeated, he continued to curse and complain loudly. Lu Yun, having delivered the kick, did not press the advantage and deliver a follow-up heavy blow to the giant. Witnessing the sudden clash between the two, Chun Ni'er immediately grew anxious. Regardless of whether she liked the iron giant or not, he was now her fiancé. Seeing him knocked back several meters by Lu Yun's kick, she hurried over and asked, "Iron Giant, what's wrong? Where do you hurt?" In terms of height, Tie Niu stands at about 1.8 meters, roughly two heads taller than Lu Yun. Yet, when the old lady blew her nose and accidentally knocked over something inside, it was Lu Yun who, with a single kick, sent her flying several meters away, her internal organs nearly tossed into disarray—so much so that Tie Niu couldn’t stop groaning in pain. Despite the pain, as a man, Tie Niu didn’t express a single word of gratitude or relief when Chun Ni'er asked him a question. Instead, he stormed at her, shouting, “Get out of here! You’re a dishonorable woman, not keeping your duties—don’t come here pretending to comfort me. Go find your little husband!” “Tie Niu, you’re a fool!” Chun Ni'er was furious upon hearing this, and slapped him hard across the face. “You dare hit me? See how I don’t knock you out!” "Spring Nier gave Iron Niu a solid slap, and for a moment, he was completely stunned. He never expected that Spring Nier, who had always been somewhat displeased with him but had never raised her voice in anger, would actually slap him. This completely ignited Iron Niu's already furious temper. With his muscular arms suddenly lifting, he roared and delivered a sharp slap right across Spring Nier's face. 'Big guy, what's so special about beating women? Your opponent is me,' he shouted. As Spring Nier was slapping Iron Niu, Lu Yun realized something was amiss—he had no doubt that the big guy would retaliate and give her a solid slap right back." Indeed, events unfolded exactly as Lu Yun had anticipated. As the iron giant roared, Lu Yun was already in motion—his feet moving like wheels carried by wind and fire. At the very moment the iron giant raised his arm, Lu Yun had already surged forward, reaching out to grasp the wrist the giant had lifted. With a hearty, scornful laugh, he said, "Big fellow, are you only good at bothering women? It was I who kicked you—what's the matter now, are you going to blow up at a woman?" Chun Ni'er stood by, stunned. In the past, she had never imagined such a thing happening with the iron giant. Though his words had been deeply humiliating, especially in the way they had wounded her pride, she had always held fast to her own resolve at the brick kiln, using her fingers to end her own life in full dignity. Yet, there had been absolutely no connection between her and Lu Yun—no matter what Lu Yun might have seen, it had never been anything she had wished for. The Iron Bull spoke to her in words that were deeply humiliating, and Chunni'er, flushed with indignation, instinctively slapped him. But immediately after the slap, she went completely blank—her body numb. When she heard the Iron Bull's roar, and even when he raised his hand to strike her, she showed no reaction at all. If it hadn't been for Lu Yun arriving in time, that slap would have left a swollen cheek for Chunni'er for several days. "Little scrawny thing, I'm going to kill you!" As Lu Yun suddenly grasped his wrist, the Iron Bull paused, then erupted into fury, swinging his other arm to deliver a punch straight at Lu Yun. "Still not giving up?" Lu Yun slightly shifted his body to evade the punch, then launched a direct blow to the Iron Bull's face. With a solid thud, the punch landed squarely on the Iron Bull's nose. Well, that punch sent the Iron Bull reeling—tears streamed down his face as he howled, "For heaven's sake! You little pest! I won't rest until I've got you!" "Iron Bull absolutely couldn't believe he'd be defeated by such a little kid. In the village, he was renowned as a true powerhouse—even the village chief had to yield to him. Yet here he was, falling at the hands of a mere youngster. Iron Bull deserved his misfortune. If only he knew that after drinking the Ten-Complete-Health Soup, Lu Yun's strength had surged dramatically, and that deep within his body there lurked a shy dragon, as well as a mysterious, enigmatic Lord of Magic—then Iron Bull would never have dared to challenge Lu Yun. "Let go of me!" Iron Bull struggled to free himself from Lu Yun's five fingers, but Lu Yun's grip was as firm as iron bands around his wrists, making it impossible for him to generate even the slightest strength. Lu Yun remained unmoved, a quiet smile of contempt curling at the corner of his lips. Chun Nini, however, could no longer bear it. Though Iron Niu and Lu Yun had only just met and fought, she had already clearly seen that Iron Niu was no match for Lu Yun. If they continued to fight like this, there might well be serious injuries—or even fatalities. "Lu Yun, please let go of Iron Niu. He was only acting out of sudden urgency when he attacked me. Please, just let him go," Chun Nini began pleading on Iron Niu's behalf. "Lowlife! I don't need your fake sympathy! You all work together—planning against me from the start. This isn't the end of it!" With a punch to his nose, Iron Niu's eyes watered and tears streamed down his face. Upon hearing Chun Nini's words, his anger flared even more. He roared loudly, firmly rejecting her plea. "I've had enough of you!" Chun Nini, now showing her true temper, decided to cut off any further attempts at diplomacy. "If you don't appreciate it, then you'll just have to take it!" "Not enough yet," Lu Yun sneered, and then delivered another solid punch to Iron Niu's face. "Hey, you're still hitting him?" Iron Niu cried out, speaking the words with a gasp, yet his mind began to murmur in doubt. This boy looked no older than fifteen or sixteen—how could he possess such strength? One punch landed and seemed to be about to burst the boy's skull. If this continued, there was no way he wouldn't be killed right there by this youngster. After all, it's true: the bold fear the steady, and the steady fear the ones who don't care about their lives. Iron Niu used to rule the village with his strength, never facing a real opponent—yet today, with Lu Yun, he finally understood what a true tough guy truly was. ...
