457 Shame to the Country (1/2)
Not only did Gu Jingman realize the problem, the other three big influences also realized the problem. The Triad Sect's leader, Du Pingsheng, was clearly not pleased.
He had originally thought that only Gu Jingman had a problem, but he never expected the Black Leopard Gang would join in the list. Among the five big influences, two of the influences were participating, how could they win this underground fight?
Jiang Guhuai and Widow Wang merely furrowed their brows, but their faces didn't look as pale as Du Pingsheng's. The initiator of the underground fight had always been Fei Ying Sect and the Triad Sect.
Both of them were acting out of righteousness and justice. They had agreed to participate in this underground fight without much choice, so they weren't worrying too much about the results.
Besides, the Yamaguchi-gumi's drug trafficking ring in the Hua Dong region had nothing to do with them. As long as it posed no conflict of interest where they were concerned, they chose to not get involved.
”What a good Feng Yuan. When you were reproaching Gu Jingman just now, I thought you did so for a righteous cause. However, I never expected that you would be the lowly person who seeks nothing other than your own profit!”
Du Pingsheng clenched his fists tightly, while his face was full of displeasure. This was because he thought that they were not fighting hard enough.
”Senior Yuan Kuang, I am afraid the burden of this underground fight will be on you. If you lose, this entire underground fight will also be lost.” Du Shengping sighed as he spoke to the old man in a Tang suit who was standing next to him.
Now, two persons had already been defeated. Gu Jingman, who was originally viewed as the core strength, had changed her mind at the last minute. So, since he had already decided that he basically couldn't rely on the Widow Wang of Red Sparrow Gang, after eliminating all other the possibilities, only the Triad Sect could gain some achievements in the underground fight.
However, the Triad Sect could only send Senior Yuan Kuang. One had to wonder how he could fight so many people from the Yamaguchi-gumi.
”Sect Leader Du, don't worry. I will definitely try my very best.” Yuan Kuang sighed.
As he didn't want the Yamaguchi-gumi's drugs to spread into Hua Xia, he could only agree with Du Pingsheng and choose to participate in the underground fight. However, he could only try his best, but didn't dare promise anything.
In the third match, it was the Red Sparrow Gang's turn to send someone to represent the side of the five big influences for the fight. The person sent by the Red Sparrow Gang was an ancient martial arts practitioner, but he was merely in the Cultivation of Sea of Qi. Within a few strokes, he was easily defeated by the middle-aged martial arts practitioner from the Yamaguchi-gumi.
It happened just how Du Pingsheng had expected it would, with the Red Sparrow Gang basically being unreliable. Among the five big influences, the strength of the Red Sparrow Gang was the weakest.
Moreover, this Widow Wang didn't have much invested in the underground fight, so she naturally wouldn't give it her best. As such, it had taken only one person from the Yamaguchi-gumi to quickly defeat three persons from the five big influences.
”I knew it. They just can't be depended on in this underground fight,” Gu Jingman said.
Although the Red Sparrow Gang's influence was the weakest among the five big influences, it was unthinkable to send merely an ancient martial arts practitioner in Sea of Qi realm out to represent them. Hence, it was obvious that they didn't put in their best efforts.
”Then, you are relying on me?” Mo Wen smiled faintly.
”It's great to be able to rely on someone. I told you previously that the underground fight would surely be won with me around.” Gu Jingman grinned.
”Could it be that you have the ability to foretell the future? If I didn't appear on the cruise ship, who were you going to rely on?” Mo Wen asked jokingly.
She seemed to have the whole situation within her control, but he merely met her on the way here! If he hadn't appeared, he had to wonder what she would have done then.
”Tsk. If I can't rely on you, couldn't I just rely on someone else?” Gu Jingman quipped.
The fourth match was the Triad Sect's turn to send someone out...
”Senior Yuan Kuang's ability is quite high. In fact, it is almost equivalent to Uncle Chen's. He should be able to beat at least one person,” Gu Jingman remarked softly. The Triad Sect's Sect Leader was an upright person, so he had invited this person for the underground fight.
”Perhaps not.” Mo Wen shook his head.
”You think that middle-aged martial arts practitioner of the Yamaguchi-gumi will win?” Gu Jingman furrowed her brows.
Senior Yuan Kuang was quite famous in their circle. Though his cultivation was slightly below an ancient martial arts practitioner in the Qi Nucleation realm, it was stronger than the normal ancient martial arts practitioner in the acme of the Sea of Qi realm.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Mo Wen smiled, but didn't comment further. On the lawn, the fourth match had begun. Mitsui-kun of the Yamaguchi-gumi had defeated three people on his own, but he still looked fresh, as if he hadn't had to use too much effort at all.
”Yuan Kuang, the ancient martial arts practitioner in the acme of Sea of Qi realm, I know you.” Mitsui-kun cast a look at Yuan Kuang. Once he started speaking, he was obviously placing some importance on his existence.
”It's my honor,” Yuan Kuang said tepidly.
”Hua Xia's people love to boast shamelessly. You always claim that you have the authentic martial arts way and turn your nose up at our Fu Sang Country's martial arts. Today, I would like to see the standard of a Hua Xia martial arts practitioner at work.” Mitsui-kun took out his katana as he spoke. The cold katana's light reflected on Yuan Kuang's face, disturbing his sense of sight.
”The people of Fu Sang Country have merely stolen superficial bits of Hua Xia's martial arts. You are ungrateful for it, yet constantly belittle Hua Xia's martial arts. You are not even respectful to your own ancestors, so do you think Fu Sang Country would be the authentic martial arts way?”
