Chapter 96

At this moment, Li Qian also sensed that something was wrong and anxiously asked Jiang Ping, "What do they want to do?"

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen," Jiang Ping reassured Li Qian while observing the surroundings, thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

The wave pool was designed to mimic a natural environment, with winding shores and some secluded bays. Earlier, to be alone with Li Qian, Jiang Ping had deliberately chosen a less crowded bay to teach her how to swim. The shore here was steep and did not connect to the outside, so even if they got out of the water, they couldn't leave the wave pool. However, for Jiang Ping, having a place for Li Qian to stand temporarily was enough. Once he dealt with these people, he could ensure the girl's safety.

It was precisely because Jiang Ping had chosen a more secluded spot in the wave pool that the group dared to act so brazenly, even openly blocking their way.

The leader of the group was Ye Tianlong, a student from a nearby technical school, and the others were his classmates. After the holiday, he had already visited the water park several times, always taking pleasure in harassing female tourists.

Li Qian was beautiful and had a great figure, which made Ye Tianlong regard her as a celestial beauty at first sight. This guy was simple and brutal; once he set his eyes on Li Qian, he was determined to seize the opportunity to touch this beautiful girl.

Seeing Jiang Ping and Li Qian cornered in a dead end of the pool, Ye Tianlong was elated. He gave Li Qian a lecherous smile and then dived into the water.

As the leader of the group, Ye Tianlong's actions made the other three hesitate to act immediately. Instead, they looked at Li Qian with ill intent, grinning as they waited for the show to begin.

At this moment, Li Qian also understood what these guys wanted to do and became even more nervous. Instinctively, she took a few steps back, trying to distance herself from Ye Tianlong, who had dived into the water. However, after just two steps, her back hit the hard pool wall, leaving her with no place to retreat.

At this moment, Jiang Ping hugged Li Qian, lifting her up as much as he could, and whispered, "Climb up, hide for a moment!"

With no other choice, Li Qian quickly raised her long, slender legs and, with Jiang Ping's help, hid above. The place where Li Qian was standing was very narrow, barely enough for one person. Even so, after she steadied herself, she reached out to Jiang Ping, trying to pull him up as well.

However, Jiang Ping did not take Li Qian's hand. He gave her a reassuring smile and then turned to face the approaching Ye Tianlong.

Because of the delay, Ye Tianlong had already swum very close. Jiang Ping submerged his head underwater, tightly focusing on the approaching Ye Tianlong, and then delivered a straight punch to his face.

Ye Tianlong, thinking he had the upper hand with his group, never expected Jiang Ping to strike first. In the water, his movements were slow, and as Jiang Ping's fist drew closer, he had no time to dodge, taking a heavy blow to his nose.

Although the water resistance reduced the force of Jiang Ping's punch, he had practiced the Xuan Kong Jue for two months, making him much stronger than an average person. This punch left Ye Tianlong dazed, with two streams of blood flowing from his nostrils, quickly dispersing in the pool water.

Jiang Ping, having landed a successful hit, did not let up. He grabbed Ye Tianlong's hair, which was floating in the water, and continued to punch his face with straight punches.

Ye Tianlong, who was often involved in fights at school, quickly recovered from his initial panic and began to counterattack Jiang Ping.

However, Ye Tianlong had no experience in underwater combat and, in his eagerness to injure Jiang Ping, used hooks and uppercuts, which required a lot of force but followed curved trajectories.

What Ye Tianlong didn't know was that due to the water resistance, underwater combat should use straight punches, which would encounter less resistance.

Although Ye Tianlong landed several hits on Jiang Ping in close combat, the force was minimal and caused almost no damage. On the other hand, Jiang Ping's continuous straight punches to Ye Tianlong's face left him unable to counterattack and even unable to hold his breath in the water.

Bubbles streamed from Ye Tianlong's mouth as he struggled to surface for air. However, Jiang Ping would not let him. He grabbed Ye Tianlong's hair and continued to hold him underwater, repeatedly punching his head, causing him to see stars and blood to flow from his nose and mouth.

At first, Ye Tianlong's companions watched with amusement, knowing he was a good swimmer and assuming Jiang Ping would be the one to suffer. However, after a while, they realized something was wrong and hurriedly rushed over to help. One of them, who was particularly quick-witted, did not directly attack Jiang Ping but instead headed straight for Li Qian, who was standing by the pool.

Although Jiang Ping was beating up Ye Tianlong, he did not let his guard down against his companions. Seeing their movements, he immediately reacted. He first lifted Ye Tianlong out of the water, and before he could catch his breath, he raised his knee and smashed it into Ye Tianlong's face.

"Ahh..." Ye Tianlong let out a scream, and two front teeth fell into the pool with the scream. A large amount of blood flowed from his mouth, quickly turning the surrounding water pink.

Without pausing, Jiang Ping caught up with the guy heading for Li Qian and grabbed his head, slamming it into the poolside rocks.

Li Qian clearly heard a "thud" and saw a gash on the guy's forehead, with blood gushing out instantly.

At the same time, two more of Ye Tianlong's companions caught up. One of them landed a heavy punch on Jiang Ping's chin. The effects of Jiang Ping's daily training with a homemade strange machine, which improved his resistance to strikes, became evident. Although the punch was heavy, Jiang Ping only swayed slightly, not only standing firm but immediately counterattacking. He punched the guy, making him see stars and bleed from the nose.

The last one, seeing Jiang Ping's ferocity, lost all fighting spirit. He dared not face Jiang Ping and turned to swim away.

Jiang Ping, needing to protect Li Qian, did not chase after him. Seeing that the other three no longer posed a threat, he spread his arms and shouted to Li Qian, "Come down, let's go!"

Although Li Qian could not swim, she trusted Jiang Ping completely and jumped into the water without hesitation. Jiang Ping did not disappoint her, immediately catching her and pulling her away from the blood-stained pool water as quickly as possible.
