You can't really blame Zhao Sifang for this. Chen Tianlong is so powerful, and as an ordinary martial artist, Zhao needed to tread carefully if he intended to deal with Chen Tianlong. There was no room for rashness; some underhanded tactics would be necessary.
Chen Tianlong chuckled coldly. Since this was to make a statement, there was no need for half-measures. Just take one down first, and looking at the way these characters appear, the one sprawled on the ground, Du Babao, is likely the leader of the group.
And this guy trying to launch a sneak attack must be the second in command of the team.
In this case, it plays right into Chen Tianlong's hands; if he takes down this one, the rest will surely withdraw, crashing in defeat.
"Bang!"
