The next day, I met with Hai Feng in the Gladiatorial Arena.
The audience was larger than ever, perhaps because we had both gained some fame during this period.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Standing on the stage are two of the most formidable competitors of our time! The Madman! Hai Feng! Are you all excited for their epic showdown? Today is the moment they will battle for supremacy!" The announcer's voice boomed. "The Madman is ruthless! And Hai Feng is even more brutal! Are you ready? If you are, I’ll call for the start!"
It was the same annoying host as always. They thrived on cruelty.
Roar!
Roar!
Countless cheers erupted from the audience; their enthusiasm was palpable.
"Begin!" The announcer shouted.
Hai Feng and I clashed like puppets controlled by his strings.
I swore I would make him suffer!
With fists and feet flying, Hai Feng even found time to taunt me, but I had no chance to respond. I was too busy defending against his relentless attacks. Even though I had rapidly advanced in skill recently, Hai Feng's strength still surpassed mine.
"Ouch! This fight is quite interesting! The Madman starts off at a disadvantage—can he turn the tide like he used to? His opponent this time is Hai Feng!" The host chattered on, more verbose than usual. In the past, he would have said a few things, but never this much.
However, I couldn't afford to focus on his annoying commentary; Hai Feng's fierce punches and kicks demanded my full attention. I remained calm and vigilant, waiting for an opening in Hai Feng's assault.
"Useless! Aren't you supposed to be the Madman? Show me your madness! All you do is defend!"
Hai Feng's attacks came in waves, each one more ferocious than the last. The host continued to praise him endlessly, but I ignored it all. Defense was my only priority; I couldn't afford to gamble with my life.
Yet, Hai Feng wasn't without weaknesses. His right hand was clenched loosely, likely due to an old injury. The leg I had injured with my makeshift weapon still seemed unstable; I had struck him hard that time, and he hadn’t received proper treatment or rest since then. Although he seemed fine now, it was still a lingering issue.
But even these minor flaws were overshadowed by Hai Feng's exceptional fighting skills. He was an aggressive fighter who attacked relentlessly; his speed was almost supernatural. One misstep on my part could lead to a devastating counterattack.
Unfortunately, my strategy of dragging out the fight didn’t seem effective this time. As a top-tier fighter, Hai Feng’s stamina matched mine, leaving me with no opportunities to regain control.
If I wanted to turn the tide in my favor, I might have to resort to an unexpected tactic!
"Come out of your shell! Take this punch!"
Hai Feng roared as he launched a powerful punch toward me.
I quickly crouched down!
Rolling to the side, I reacted swiftly! A kick came flying towards me!
This was exactly the effect I wanted!
“Ah!” I shouted loudly!
Instead of dodging, I charged forward and grabbed Hai Feng's leg!
His foot struck my chest with tremendous force, causing a sharp pain that made me spit out a mouthful of blood!
But I didn’t stop. Holding onto Hai Feng's leg, I twisted my body and threw him over!
Hai Feng was thrown to the ground, landing face down.
At that moment, everything happened in a flash.
Seizing the opportunity while Hai Feng was down, I leaped high into the air and aimed my elbow at him!
The suddenness of my attack caught Hai Feng off guard; he was unable to evade my strike!
My elbow crashed into the back of his neck!
“Ah!” Hai Feng let out a pained scream!
I wouldn’t be surprised if this didn’t knock him out; he was incredibly strong. However, a heavy blow to the neck would surely leave him dazed for a moment!
This was my chance!
I pressed Hai Feng down against the ground!
Grabbing his left arm, I forcefully twisted it backward!
Crack!
A sharp sound echoed as I dislocated Hai Feng's left arm.
I could have used this moment to choke him and end it all, but I knew that Hai Feng had likely encountered countless choking techniques before. It was better to disable one of his arms first!
“Ah!” he screamed in agony!
Hai Feng struggled violently!
As soon as I broke his left arm, I immediately tightened my grip around his neck. With only one arm able to exert strength, could he still counter my moves?
"I'll kill you!"
Hai Feng's face turned red from my chokehold as he coldly declared. I let out a cold laugh and increased the pressure!
Many had tried to kill me!
The only one I couldn't understand was that black bear I fought at the beginning; every opponent I had faced had uttered those words.
Was it effective?
If you can kill me, then come on!
Oh dear! Hai Feng was being choked! This was it; his left arm was already dislocated. I wondered if he could still break free from this madman's hold. The madman had indeed performed impressively today, fighting steadily without a hint of his usual madness. It seemed he was being quite cautious against Hai Feng.
Damn that persistent announcer, continuing to chatter away.
I ignored it all.
I tightened my grip!
But Hai Feng was surprisingly strong!
As I choked him, his right hand, which had an internal injury, grabbed my arm to prevent me from tightening further. His grip was incredibly strong, making my arm go numb.
Damn it!
Suddenly, Hai Feng let out a loud roar!
His legs abruptly thrust upward with great force! He squeezed hard at the muscle in my arm!
My hand instantly felt electrified and went numb! I lost my grip and was thrown aside.
Before I could react, he forcefully flipped me over and mounted me!
This is bad!
Ah!
I shouted loudly and truly unleashed that frenzied energy to struggle!
I threw punch after punch at Hai Feng!
But his legs clamped tightly around mine!
I managed to land a few punches on him, but then he roared and delivered a powerful punch back at me.
A beautiful right hook struck my face with precision.
I was completely stunned. Hai Feng's punch was incredibly powerful; it hit my brain like a blank slate, leaving me unable to control my own body.
"I'll kill you!"
Hai Feng shouted as he straddled me, then unleashed a right hook after right hook. After three solid punches, I felt like I was done for. My head was about to explode, and I was teetering on the edge of unconsciousness. I figured if he landed another punch like that, I would be finished.
But then, Hai Feng stopped!
"Hmph, kid, I’m going to torture you to death!"
He sneered, thinking that after taking a few of his right hooks, my brain must be empty and I was no longer a threat. Even with one arm out of commission, he believed he could still beat me.
To my shock, he stood up.
Then he unbuckled his pants right in front of me!
What the hell! He’s going to pee on my face!
I bit my tongue hard! It helped me regain some clarity.
Damn it!
I threw a right hook straight at his groin!
You want to pee? Hold it in!
A howl erupted from Hai Feng that sounded inhuman. I knew it must have hurt like hell, but who did he think he was? He wanted to pee? I’d make sure he never enjoyed it again for the rest of his life!
Oh man! That move was brutal! Poisonous!
The host shouted in excitement, and for a moment the crowd fell silent before erupting into cheers. They were thrilled; to them, it looked like Hai Feng and I were two crickets fighting— the more intense the battle, the more excited they became.
Should I kill him or not? You won’t get another chance.
I wobbled to my feet. After taking Hai Feng's right hook, I saw two shadows of him in front of me. My head throbbed painfully as if it were about to burst.
"I’ll kill you!"
Hai Feng clutched his groin and howled for a moment before charging at me again. However, his speed had noticeably decreased, and his leg movements were awkward. I figured standing upright must have been a struggle for him now.
I thought that with his unstable stance, Hai Feng was no longer my opponent.
But I still misjudged the situation. My head was pounding, and even though I kept biting my tongue, it was hard to stay conscious. My vision started to blur, and I couldn't even pinpoint Hai Feng's location anymore!
Ah!
I let out a loud shout!
Summoning all my strength and focus, I threw a punch forward with all my might.
But it missed.
Thud!
A right hook.
What a damn familiar feeling!
It landed squarely on my face!
I was knocked down; this time, I truly couldn't take it anymore. The pain in my head was unbearable, and I felt completely dazed. Yet, at that moment, my mind inexplicably filled with so many thoughts.
Linna!
Lu Ying!
Zheng Yu!
The Six Sons!
Damn it, the Six Sons!
I cursed loudly!
Suddenly, I felt much more alert!
I am Xiang Dong!
I am the boss of Tian Ye Group in the Southern District!
Thinking of the Six Sons gave me a surge of strength! I sprang up abruptly and kicked fiercely at Hai Feng!
I hit him!
He fell down!
Die!
With every ounce of strength I had left, I concentrated it in my right leg and kicked at Hai Feng's head! It was just like taking a shot in soccer—Hai Feng took the hit! He flew far away and lay still.
After delivering that kick, my head throbbed even more painfully, and I could no longer hold on. I collapsed onto the ground.
