Chapter 96: Complete Enemies (2/2)
“What a fucking great battle!”
In this underground arena, even the military men had thrown away their ordinary personalities and returned to their more crude nature.
“This is Master Wang Chao, the head of the Laoshan School of Internal Martial Arts in Qingdao City.” Liao Junhua introduced Wang Chao with a smile.
By this point, everyone that was familiar with Liao Junhua had gathered around Wang Chao and tried to chat up with him. In an instant, Wang Chao had been elevated to the status of a superstar.
Seeing these people, Wang Chao could see that after singing, they had all been inspired by the song as well. In an instant, they had all been roused to a fighting mood that brought out their inner potential and filled them with power.
There were government officials, business owners, and even white-collared workers. Although some were benevolent and some were corrupt from taking bribes, at this moment, they were all singing together the same song without worry.
“Come, let us drink to our heart’s delight! Allow me to be informal on this day!” Liao Junhua immediately had his men take care of the matters and then follow Wang Chao with an excited expression.
Wang Chao killing Ye Xuan had not only spared him from losing any more face, but it had also prevented Ye Xuan from walking away with any more money. Even if the entire arena had been defeated by him, it wouldn’t be considered much. But what had made him most happy was the fact that Wang Chao had been able to inspire him with power.
“What do you mean by drinking? Why not let him rest?” Zhu Jia walked down and gave Liao Junhua a baleful look. Then, taking out a silk handkerchief, she began to dab away at Wang Chao’s sweaty forehead almost as if she and him were girlfriend boyfriend already.
“Y-you…you killed Ye Xuan-kun…I’ll…I’ll kill you!”
By now, Yagyu Haruko had already found herself by Ye Xuan’s side along with the other Japanese men. Each one had a stony look, but it was not one of concern.
At this moment, after Ye Xuan had shown his might and killed so many people, perhaps the people on the platform admired him, or maybe hated him, or maybe were even envious of him. For not a single one of them had looked at his body.
Now that he had died, he had forfeited all the value he had. Before he had died, those who looked at him with hatred now would have looked at him with admiration.
Life or death, success or failure, one of the two outcomes would dictate one’s worth and reality.
If a genius died, then he simply wasn’t a genius after all. Only those who could survive a journey of self-discipline could be considered to be a genius.
Yagyu Haruko’s eyes had first been sluggish, but when she lifted her head, they focused straight away onto Wang Chao.
Suddenly, she charged towards him as if she was possessed.
Yagyu Haruko was an outstanding youth from the Yagyu family and specialized in both Xingyi Fencing and Xingyiquan. Other than that, she was proficient in Tongbei, Karate, and several other disciplines. From her childhood to her current age at 26, she had fully brought out her potential to the pinnacle of the Clear Jin stage. Despite not being as talented as Ye Xuan was, when she became angry, it was still a terrifying force to fight against.
Bang bang! Two sounds rang out as the two people blocking her path was sent flying away from her kick with a resounding crash.
Yagyu Haruko’s movements had been serpentine-like. Twisting and then turning to kick two people, she drilled through the crowd for several split moments before finally reaching the center where she pounced towards Wang Chao.
“Ha!” Yagyu Haruko was similar to a ninja as she rose high into the air after slinking past the crowd. Her left had had transformed to form a claw before streaking through the air to clutch at Wang Chao’s throat.
Wang Chao’s eyes flashed once before moving a hand to block/
But no one had known that Wang Chao was not Yagyu Haruko’s target. It was a deception meant to divert away attention from her actual goal. Before their arms could even touch, she suddenly turned to grab at Zhu Jia who was standing besides Wang Chao with both arms.
Her hands transformed to form the beaks of a bird before pecking straight for Zhu Jia’s temples.
This had been an utterly fierce move, and with Zhu Jia having no training in martial arts and Wang Chao being utterly tired from his recent match, it was a very dangerous situation.
Yagyu Haruko’s pounce had calculated the fact that Wang Chao would be extremely tired from his battle. With Dai Jun on the other side, he would be unable to provide any assistance. For her life, she was determined to kill Wang Chao.
Just like why the organization had given Wang Chao such a mission, Yagyu Haruko had felt that Wang Chao was a disaster waiting to happen and had to be killed. She moved her fist once as a sign that her attacking Zhu Jia was a second layer deception. She had only wished to wait for Wang Chao to make a move to save Zhu Jia before striking at him like thunder.
“You won’t leave this place alive!”
Liao Junhua’s face had instantly froze over as he spun around. Contracting his body, his leg shot out like a dog passing water. Crack! In an instant, his leg had struck her abdomen.
“Ah!” Yagyu Haruko had no idea that Liao Junhua would be an expert as well. After being sent flying, she had flown over the heads of everyone before skidding to a stop with her being knocked out.
She couldn’t be blamed for this however. Liao Junhua had never shown his strength in public before, even Wang Chao’s source of intelligence hadn’t known about it.
“My leg has severely damaged her intestines. It seems that the Japanese martial arts world has decided to fight with ours. I’m afraid that we will not be able to rest without the death of those on their side.”
Liao Junhua sighed.
