Chapter 1741

Backyard.

Amidst the distant sound of firecrackers, a sparring match was underway in the courtyard. Dong Xuebing was pitted against a security guard, clearly at a disadvantage. However, the guard couldn't defeat Dong Xuebing even after a full three minutes of fighting.

"Again!" the guard shouted.

Dong Xuebing forced a bitter smile. "Let's leave it at this."

"No clear winner yet," the guard insisted.

"There's no need for this. It's just a friendly match," Dong Xuebing replied helplessly.

"Mr. Dong, can you show some real skills?" the guard asked earnestly. "It's also a sign of respect for me. I know you haven't used your full strength."

"It's New Year's. Can't we leave it at that?" Dong Xuebing replied.

"I want to spar with you today. Please oblige," the guard pressed.

With that, the guard again charged forward, engaging Dong Xuebing in combat.

Dong Xuebing, still lacking enthusiasm, went through the motions, and his thoughts were already on the upcoming Spring Festival Gala. He wondered what funny sketches and cross-talks would be featured this year—those were his favorites to watch during leisure time.

One punch.

Two kicks.

A swing of the arm.

Dong Xuebing skillfully avoided each attack.

"Brother-in-law, why aren't you fighting back? Show some power!" Xie Hao exclaimed in frustration. Seeing Dong Xuebing still unmoved, Xie Hao couldn't help but shout and pace anxiously in the courtyard. Finally, he called out to the other two security guards, "Quick, all of you attack together!"

They moved in together.

Three against one.

The two guards exchanged glances.

Bending.

Twisting to evade.

Dong Xuebing seemed to be dancing, and even after some time, he hadn't broken a sweat.

It was as if there was no substantial difference between one person attacking him and three people attacking him.

Another five minutes passed.

Several security guards were panting heavily, exhausted not due to lack of stamina but because such fighting consumed the most energy. They had all exerted themselves to the fullest, and soon, they were too tired to continue, breathing heavily.

Meanwhile, Dong Xuebing blinked as if nothing had happened. Seeing they didn't intend to attack again, he said, "Impressive skills, gentlemen. Let's leave it at this."

Even Hou Ming now realized that Dong Xuebing couldn't defeat them; he simply hadn't exerted himself. No, to be accurate, Dong Xuebing seemed not to have exerted any effort.

The three security guards exchanged shocked looks.

One stepped forward and respectfully said, "Thank you for the lesson."

Another guard sincerely added, "There are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens. We've always been frogs at the bottom of a well."

The facts were laid out. They couldn't deny it anymore. Even without exerting any effort, Dong Xuebing had exhausted them completely. This demonstrated that Dong Xuebing's combat ability was on a completely different level. He wasn't even in the same league. He could have done it effortlessly if he had wanted to defeat them. He had been going easy on them.

They were convinced.

They were truly convinced this time.

They now understood why Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie Guojian had confidently given them a break without any worries. With a master like Dong Xuebing around, even if there were threats to the people in the courtyard, it would only lead to self-destruction.

This son-in-law of the Xie family could take down a dozen people without blinking and probably wouldn't break a sweat.

"Well, let's go back," several security guards said dejectedly.

There was nothing they could do. They could have tried harder if the difference in strength had been slight. But Dong Xuebing's strength surpassed theirs by more than just a little bit. They had never felt so powerless against one person before.
