Chapter 22 I told you to kneel, so you have to kneel!
"Fuck your mother!"
Gregory snapped out of his brief moment of shock, his extreme astonishment transforming into a raging fury.
He felt like he had been treated like a monkey, completely made a fool of!
What kind of doctor is this?! What kind of medical treatment is this?!
This is nothing more than a despicable trick by that Eastern brat to disturb his mind!
He, a dignified "butcher," a killing machine that crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, would never be swayed by such nonsense!
"Die!"
Gregory pushed the energy of the "Rage" drug in his body to its limit!
His skin was a shocking dark red due to the extensive rupture of capillaries.
His whole body suddenly swelled up again!
Speed and power have surged once again!
This time, he abandoned all defense.
With a resolute determination to destroy everything, it transformed into a scarlet afterimage and crashed straight into Lin Fan!
He wanted to use the purest, most primal violence to crush this silver-tongued brat in front of him into a pile of minced meat!
Despite the devastating impact, Lin Fan remained standing.
He didn't even lift his eyelids.
He merely shook his head almost imperceptibly as he watched the rapidly approaching blood-red figure.
"Sigh, the patient is too unruly, so I have to resort to some forceful measures."
Just as Gregory's fist, powerful enough to shatter mountains, was about to smash Lin Fan's facial bones...
Lin Fan made his move.
His movements were devoid of any trace of human warmth or grime.
The index and middle fingers, joined together, transformed into an ancient sword-like finger, ignoring the constraints of distance and speed, striking later but arriving first.
Just before Gregory's punch reached its peak, he accurately struck the "Quchi" acupoint on the inside of Gregory's elbow.
There was no deafening explosion as expected.
There was no explosive force.
That touch was so gentle, without a trace of murderous intent.
However, the ferocity and madness on Gregory's face came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
A tingling, numb, and sore sensation that he could never understand in his life exploded from the acupoint that had been pressed, instantly flowing throughout his entire right arm!
He felt that his right arm... had disappeared.
They are still there, yet they have lost all sensation and connection.
That terrifying force, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, vanished completely like the receding tide!
His devastating fist, less than three centimeters from Lin Fan's nose, drooped limply, unable to advance any further.
"What... what's going on?"
Gregory's brain completely shut down.
The muscles are still there, the bones are intact, but that arm has become someone else's, completely disobeying the brain's commands.
"I told you not to move, why didn't you listen?"
Lin Fan's voice, like a whisper in his ear, sent chills down his spine.
"Quchi acupoint, which clears heat from the Yangming meridian. Your internal heat is too strong, so this will help cool you down. Do you feel your arm is cooler now, and less inclined to hit someone?"
Cool down my ass!
Gregory roared madly in his heart, only to find to his horror that even the strength to roar had been halved.
He doesn't believe in superstitions!
With a sudden stomp of his left foot and a burst of power from his waist, he unleashed a ferocious spinning whip kick that swept across Lin Fan's waist and abdomen with a piercing shriek as it tore through the air!
It must be some kind of neurotoxin! It must be!
However, Lin Fan simply lowered his body slightly, causing the whip kick, powerful enough to break a steel plate, to miss its mark.
At the same time, his palm reached out.
It was less like an attack and more like a reassurance.
Gently, he patted the outside of Gregory's supporting leg's knee, three inches above the "Zusanli" acupoint.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Gregory felt his left leg suddenly go limp, and all the strength in his muscles and bones was instantly drained away.
That enormous, mountain-like body could no longer support itself.
"Thump!"
Without any warning, under the gaze of the whole world, he knelt heavily on one knee in front of Lin Fan!
The entire venue was deathly silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
Tens of thousands of spectators at the scene and hundreds of millions of netizens around the world were all gaping, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
They stared intently at the mind-blowing scene on the screen, their minds completely blank.
Kneeling...kneeling?
Gregory, the infamous "butcher" who treated human life like dirt...
He just knelt down like that?
Moreover, it was when he initiated the thunderous attack that he... knelt down?
What exactly happened?
"This... could it be an ancient Chinese... greeting gift?" A foreign commentator uttered a ridiculous question in a trembling voice that made everyone laugh and cry.
Backstage.
The medicine bottle in Li Zhenguo's hand shattered with a "crash".
His mouth was agape as he stared at the "butcher" on the screen, kneeling on one knee with a face full of bewilderment and fear. He felt his worldview being repeatedly crushed and then reshaped.
This... is no longer martial arts!
This is the "law"!
It is the law that manifests in words!
He said your arm is weak, so you can't lift it!
He says if he tells you to kneel down, then you must kneel down!
This is not even a battle on the same level!
"I've already said that people with bipolar disorder need to rest; strenuous exercise is bad for their health." Lin Fan looked down at Gregory, his tone full of concern for the "patient."
"Your leg muscles have been cramping for a long time, causing stagnation of qi and blood. Let me pat you to clear the meridians. How does it feel? Much better, right?"
Comfortable?
I'll make you feel so good!
Gregory's body was numb on one side. He used his only remaining left hand to support himself on the ground, trying his best to stand up, but found that his body was as heavy as a mountain.
The madness and brutality in his eyes finally receded like the tide.
Instead, there is an extreme fear that originates from the depths of the soul.
He finally understood.
The young man in front of him wasn't fighting him at all.
He was... playing.
Like a curious child, taking apart a complex toy with great interest.
And I am that toy.
"You... what kind of monster are you..." Gregory's voice trembled uncontrollably for the first time.
"I already told you, I'm a doctor." Lin Fan sighed. "Forget it, you can't explain it to a patient. Lie down, kneeling is bad for your knees."
The words fell.
Lin Fan's toe, seemingly casually, lightly kicked Gregory's left wrist, which was supporting him on the ground.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking.
Gregory let out a suppressed groan, and his last bit of support collapsed.
That massive, mountain-like body crashed to the ground!
"See, isn't this much more comfortable?"
Lin Fan looked at Gregory lying on the ground, no longer possessing any murderous aura, only convulsing, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Next, let's begin the formal treatment."
