Siheyuan: The wife pays off the husband's debt, Huairu's mentality collapses

He quickly turned sideways and thrust his spear downward, striking the man in the wrist.

With a scream, the burly man's fist deviated.

Su Mu took the opportunity to strike back, and the spear drew an arc and hit the man's face hard. The man staggered back, his face showing anger and surprise.

"Do you think you can beat me?" Su Mu sneered coldly, his tone full of contempt, "They are just a bunch of reckless men."

The burly man's face became increasingly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth as he said in anger: "You are so arrogant, kid! I will never let you get away like this!"

He lunged again.

The burly man roared and approached again. The air around them seemed to freeze. Only the heavy breathing and the clanging of weapons could be heard.

He clenched his hands into fists, his muscles were knotted, and every movement revealed a strength that should not be underestimated.

"Boy, I'm going to show you what real power is!" The burly man roared and punched towards Su Mu with a whistling sound.

Su Mu's eyes were sharp, and his figure flashed like a ghost, easily avoiding the powerful blow.

He sneered and said sarcastically, "Strength? If it is only used to bully the weak, it is nothing more than the courage of a coward."

Before he finished his words, Su Mu had already taken the initiative to attack. His spear drew a brilliant arc in the air and went straight to the burly man's chest.

The man reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but his collar had been cut by the spear, revealing the solid muscles underneath.

"Good boy, you're quite capable!" The burly man laughed in anger, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by deeper anger, "But this alone is not enough!"

He roared, jumped up suddenly, and pounced on Su Mu like a tiger descending from the mountain.

This time, he no longer fought alone, but cleverly commanded several other men to form a siege, attempting to trap Su Mu.

Facing this sudden attack, Su Mu did not show the slightest sign of panic.

He was agile and wielded his spear so tightly that every swing was perfectly timed to repel the enemy's attacks.

While fighting, he observed his opponent's weaknesses, looking for opportunities to strike the enemy.

"Do you think you can win by having more people?" Su Mu sneered, his voice full of unquestionable confidence, "A truly strong person never cares about the number of his opponents."

As he spoke, he kicked the ground hard, his body rose up suddenly, and his spear flew out of the sea like a dragon, instantly piercing a man's shoulder.

The man screamed, fell to the ground, and could no longer stand up.

The burly man saw this and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and shouted loudly: "Don't panic! He is alone, we will wear him down!"

However, Su Mu did not give them this opportunity.

He used the length and flexibility of his spear to constantly shuttle through the crowd. Each attack was precise and deadly, but he cleverly avoided vital parts to avoid loss of life.

"You want to teach me a lesson?" Su Mu sneered, his spear drawing silver tracks in the air, "Then let's see if you have the ability to do it!"

As the battle continued, Sumu's advantage gradually became apparent.

His strength, speed, and fighting skills far surpassed those of the men, and their coordination became increasingly chaotic.

Finally, under Su Mu's fierce attack, the burly man was knocked to the ground, groaning in pain.

"Admit defeat." Su Mu put away his spear and glanced at the others with a cold gaze, "I don't want to waste any more time."

The men looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads, not daring to look at Su Mu again.

They knew that they had completely lost today. The seemingly young man in front of them was actually beyond their reach.

The burly man struggled to get up from the ground, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but the previous anger and hostility were no longer in his eyes.

Instead, there is a complex emotion - admiration and awe.

He walked slowly towards Su Mu, each step seemed unusually heavy, as if he was re-evaluating the opponent in front of him.

"I...I lost." He spoke with difficulty, his voice low but full of sincerity, "I admit I am inferior to you in strength."

Su Mu put away his spear and his eyes softened a little.

He understood that true strength lies not only in defeating the opponent, but also in winning the respect of the opponent.

He nodded slightly in response.

Seeing this, the burly man took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He stretched out his hand and said with a hesitant but firm tone:

"My name is Li Tiezhu, and I'm a small leader in this forest. Today you showed me what real strength is. Although I, Li Tiezhu, am a rough man, I also know how to repay kindness. I think we can become friends."

Su Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

He could see Li Tiezhu's sincerity and felt the warmth of this sudden friendship.

In this world full of danger and competition, it is rare to have a friend who is equally capable and open-minded.

"My name is Su Mu, nice to meet you, Li Tiezhu."

Su Mu stretched out his hand and held Li Tiezhu's hand tightly. Their eyes met in the air, as if at this moment, all the grudges and misunderstandings disappeared.

"From now on, we will take care of each other in this forest." Li Tiezhu patted his chest and said proudly.

When Li Tiezhu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had heard something incredible.

He looked Su Mu up and down, his shock evident in his eyes.

"What did you say? You work at the street office and the steel mill? These two places are among the best in our area!"

Su Mu smiled and explained, "Yes, I usually handle some daily affairs in the street office, and occasionally go to the steel mill to help. But today I came out mainly to hunt some game to improve the meals for my colleagues."

After hearing this, Li Tiezhu looked at Su Mu with even greater respect.

He didn't expect that this young man with extraordinary skills in front of him actually had such a respectable work background.

"Oh, it's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea by a bucket! It seems that I, Li Tiezhu, have really met a master today."

He patted Su Mu's shoulder, his tone full of admiration and envy.

"The street office and the steel mill are not places that ordinary people can enter. You are not simple!"

Su Mu shook his head modestly, "No, no, I was just lucky and caught up with the right time."

"But then again, I came out hunting today mainly because I have a mission to complete and I have to return home to report. So, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid we'll have to have this meal another day."

Upon hearing this, Li Tiezhu felt a little regretful, but also expressed his understanding.

"Is that so? That's a shame. But it doesn't matter. We have a long way to go. When you are free, please come to my house and let me treat you well."
