Chapter 54 - Gathering Of Super Rich. (2/2)

The buff middle age bodyguard looked to Miss Lu for any instructions, and the latter waved a dismiss at him.

Everyone was shocked by the authority held by Xu Ao. Without his consent, no one at the table dared to cross the line.

“Nice to see everyone gather here at this corner of China.

“As we all know, today is the day that gentlemen across all cities of Jiang Bei gather here to settle past scores, in our own way and on our own terms. We will fight all we want on that stage, but off that stage, no one should stir up disorder, at least not under my watch. ”

Xu Ao sat in the armchair and announced firmly. No one dared to say a word while he was speaking.

After Xu Ao was done talking, Baldy Liu was the first one who piped up.

He sneered at Zhou Tianhao and asked, “Zhou Tianhao, why didn’t I see your protector, The Third Lord of Wei?

“I had spared you many times for the sake of House Wei, and today I won’t let get you to get away with it again.”

Baldy Liu waved a hand as a short and dark-skinned man stepped forward and darted toward the stage.

When he was about ten paces away from the stage, he jumped, and carried by his momentum, he leapt across the guard railing and landed firmly on the stage. He looked contemptuously at the representative’s form Chu Zhou City.

Zhou Tianhao’s face darkened as he clutched the armchair.

The City of Clear Water was adjacent to Chu Zhou City, and therefore the two factions had frequent run-ins. The Baldy Liu had been Zhou Tianhao’s longtime rival.

“Master Guo, can you handle it?”

Zhou Tianhao looked at the sharp young man on the stage and answered.

“He is an expert of Muay Thai. They started training when they were kids. They hit rocks with their fists until every single bone in their hands were broken. When those wounds were healed, their fists were as if they were made out of iron.” Guo Wei studied the young man cautiously. And then he said confidently.

“As long as he didn’t practice the ancient school of Muay Thai, I am confident that I can defeat him.”

Before his words faded, Master Guo had already flown into the air and landed on the stage.

“Bravo!”

Master Guo’s entrance won a wave of cheers from the audience.

Since the other combatant didn’t look Chinese, the audience had already chosen their side. Seeing Master Guo’s dressed in cla.s.sical Chinese Kung Fu outfit, the audience heaped their patriotic support on him.

“Please!”

The short man’s Chinese sounded a little bit strange to the ear but was understandable.

As soon as he finished the necessary courtesy, the man sprang forward like a loaded spring as he threw a punch at Master Guo.

His attack was not only sneaky but was also packed with force from his waist and hip. His fist traveled at incredible speed as it wheezed across the air. The audiences’ hearts were suddenly caught in their throats.

Master Guo was an Internal Force user who had achieved initial success; as such, he was unflinching before the surprise attack. He pulled a taut face and pushed both hands out to block the punch.

Seeing his first attack had been blocked, the Muay Thai fighter followed up with more strikes. In a blink, Master Guo was embattled by a downpour of a.s.saults from all directions. If he slipped up once, he might as well have lost the match.

Finally, he was dealt a blow, and right away, he felt the incredible weight in the attack.

Master Guo’s heart sank after having the first taste of his opponent’s power. He knew he had met a real Muay Thai master.

By then, he had already lost the initiative and was forced to defend himself. His only hope was to wait for his opponent to make a mistake so that he could unleash a counter strike.

The audience held their breath and watched as Master Guo was being forced into a corner by the foreign young man.

“How about that!” Baldy Liu scanned around him and smirked smugly.”Although Master Song Tao was young, he is one of the most powerful Muay Thai masters in southeast Asia. People call him the ‘Eighth-Armed Arhat’ ”

The other magnates furrowed their brows after hearing Baldy Liu’s words.

The word Arhat held much more respect in southeast Asia than in China. In southeast Asia, the Hinayana school of Buddhism revered Arhat as the highest enlightenment a mortal can achieve. It was not a nickname that could be easily tossed around from mouth to mouth.

Only the most accomplished Muay Thai fighter could be called an Arhat.

On the stage, the young Muay Thai fighter moved his arms and legs with lightning speed. He attacked with fists, legs, elbows, knees and turned his body into a walking death machine.

No wonder they called him the Eight-Armed Arhat.

Everyone’s face paled at the development.

Brother Zhang’s face was bleak. Although he was from the provincial Sanshou team, he had never expected such power from a Muay Thai fighter.

Even Guo Wei’s power had exceeded his expectations, much less the Muay Thai fighter.

Brother Zhang tried to put himself in Guo Wei’s shoes and realized that he might not even be able to block one of Song Tao’s furious blows.

Chen Fan also furrowed his brows as he worried that Guo Wei was going to lose.

Lo and behold, in a matter of minutes, Guo Wei was defeated.
