So, under Er Lu's terrified gaze, Liu Ergou forcefully threw him aside. There was a loud thud as Er Lu smashed hard onto the ground nearby. The fall left Er Lu seeing stars, unable to get up for a moment.
Liu Ergou walked over to him. "Er Lu," he said coldly, "if you still have a problem, you can stand up and we can keep sparring. But I can't guarantee I won't hurt you next time!"
With that, Liu Ergou turned toward a dead but still-standing tree, one as thick as a man's torso, and punched it fiercely. With that single punch, the withered tree crashed to the ground. The sight left Er Lu completely dumbfounded; he stood there stunned, at a loss for words.
It wasn't until Liu Ergou squatted down that Er Lu finally snapped out of it. He quickly scrambled to his feet and ran into the distance, shouting as he fled, "Liu Ergou, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're stronger! Do you think I've just been fooling around these past few years? You just wait!"
