Chapter 675 A duel against me?

Chapter 675 A duel against me?

The inside of the building was structured like an old-fashioned dojo with a medium-sized fighting stage at the center. The young woman began to walk onto this stage without any explanation and turned around to arrogantly beckon Liam over with her index finger.

"Get up."

Liam smiled. With a nod, he, too, followed her and stepped onto the stage.

"Let's begin. I don't have all day."

Without wasting any more time, she cracked her knuckles again and directly dashed towards her prey. "Who do you think you are to come here and challenge me for a duel? I will teach you a lesson with a single hit!"

Swoosh!

A punch came flying toward Liam as the woman did not bother using any weapon or technique and jumped into straightforward hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, this punch was aimed at his weak point in the neck, and one hit would immediately knock him out.

"Not bad." Liam calmly smiled. Naturally, this was the reason he was here. Well, not for this young woman but for her grand-

He couldn't half-assedly focus anymore and snapped out of his thoughts. As soon as the punch was evaded, the young woman immediately twisted her body and went for the next attack.

She feigned an attack with her other arm and, at the same time, sent a kick with her leg. With unwavering certainty that this time the fight would be won, confidence gleamed in her eyes. This confidence was well-deserved as each of her attacks was power packed to the brim.

However… her opponent was not an ordinary person.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Liam blocked the first fake one, evaded her kick, and when she followed up with a third uppercut, he also blocked that easily. He then went one step further and threw a punch aimed at her shoulder, completely tossing her balance.

Thud! The next second, the opponent was on the floor, glaring at Liam like a wounded dog.

"Do you want to continue?" Liam smiled.

"Of course, you bastard." The other party jolted back up and dashed towards him again with a vengeance when suddenly a loud voice echoed in the empty dojo.

"That's enough. He is not an opponent you can win."

The girl who was raging just a second ago abruptly froze and stopped in her tracks. She even took a step back and obediently bowed her head, though her eyes still seemed unwilling.

"What business do you have here, young man?"

Liam smiled and turned around to face the main reason he was here. "To meet with you, Master." He bowed.

In front of him, there was an old woman who looked slender and austere. She had a head full of gray hair and almost no presence, resembling only a kind old lady next door, but Liam knew different.

This woman was a monster in disguise. If she unleashed her true form, mana or not, everyone in front of her would quake.

"Hmmm? And why do you want to meet me? Do I know you?" The old woman asked again. Her voice was still polite, but now there was a strange tension in the room.

Liam unflinchingly looked at her and answered. "I want to challenge you to a duel, Master."

ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ꜰʀᴇᴇ(ᴡᴇʙ)ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ.

"What?" The woman who was silently standing in front of Liam with her head bent down looked up in utter shock and disbelief.

Lunatic! This guy was a total lunatic! He has definitely lost it and gone crazy.

However, when her gaze fell upon the stranger's face, she couldn't deny it. There was a calmness about him. He looked steady and strong even when stepping into the lion's cave willingly. Was this foolishness or something else?

Just like her, the old woman also appeared equally shocked. For a second, she was completely speechless and looked startled, but she eventually broke down into a warm smile.

"Ha Ha Ha. It's been a while since someone challenged me. Are you sure about this?" Still wearing the same warm smile on her face, she also started walking toward the fighting stage.

So she did not outright reject me? Liam smiled awkwardly.

Naturally, this made his work here easier, but something told him that the warm smile was just a facade. The closer the old woman approached the stage, the more nervous he got.

And when the old master finally took a step into the fighting ring, the warm smile was no longer to be seen. "Are you sure about this brat? I will not ask again."

The old master's aura was only slightly leaking out, and even that was enough to make him sweat. However, Liam managed to still keep calm. He had come here prepared for this, and he was not going to leave without accomplishing it.

"Yes, I am sure." He bowed again, and then added with a smirk, "If I win, according to the dojo rules, I can make a request?"

"Oh?" Once again, the old granny and the young woman, both of them looked shocked. Who was this person?

"You want to make a request? Can I know what this request is?" The granny asked in an amused tone.

"I think I will say that after the dual."

A vein on the woman's forehead throbbed at hearing Liam's reply. The granny smiled again, revealing a very familiar predatory grin. She also cracked her knuckles. Like grandmother, like granddaughter.

"Ok, then shall we start? Clear the stage, Ning Xi."

The young girl nodded and hurriedly stepped out of the fighting stage, but not before giving Liam a pitiful look. Poor fool! He was going to get thrashed today.

The second she stepped off the stage, the granny immediately revealed her true form, no longer holding back. She arrogantly looked at Liam as if she was challenging him.

"These days everyone thinks that I have grown old. Ha Ha Ha. Prepare yourself, brat." Without any warning, the old granny instantly moved, coming to stand in front of Liam.

What incredible speed! Liam shuddered. He was completely unable to react at all.

From outside, Ning Xi sneered. This fight was already over. What an idiot!

Her grin widened at the same time the old woman's hand also struck forward. Coincidentally, she was targeting the same vital point on the neck, aiming for a one-hit knockout.

And Liam couldn't even react to the granny's movements, how would he be able to block such an attack? This was definitely game over.

However, before the smile on the granny's face and the grin on the granddaughter's face could fully form, suddenly something else happened.

White fog covered the entire stage, even seeping out of it, and the old woman's blow struck something solid, and it was not Liam's body.

"What in the name of…"

The grandmother and granddaughter pair just stared in disbelief at the unbelievable scene in front of them. Just what the hell was happening?
