Chapter 77: You, come on stage!
Fang Yu nodded and sat down next to the table.
In the backstage of the martial arts arena, inside a lounge.
A very muscular one-eyed man was sitting in a chair.
His left eye was covered by an eye patch, revealing only his right eye.
He looked at the two men in front of him and asked, “I can help you take care of that Fang Yu, but you have to bring him here. I don’t have time to go out and find him for you.”
The two men were Li Zhengrong and the bald man.
“Master Xiong, it’s enough that you can accept our hiring! We will definitely find a way to bring him to you,” the bald man said, bowing and scraping.
“Alright, you should know my rules, right? First, pay half of the deposit,” Xiong Ba Hu said in a deep voice.
“We’re ready. Our men are waiting outside!” The bald man said as he opened the lounge door.
Four of their subordinates walked in, each carrying a box in both hands.
“Master Xiong, one of these boxes contains one million in cash. There are a total of eight boxes, eight million. You can count it,” the bald man said.
“Hmm, just put it here. I trust you won’t dare to cheat me,” Xiong Ba Hu said.
“Uh, Master Xiong, may I make a request?” Li Zhengrong spoke up.
“Hmm? What request?” Xiong Ba Hu looked at Li Zhengrong.
“It’s just… when the time comes, could you not kill Fang Yu directly? Just injure him, and let me go up to take revenge for my son and my subordinates…” Li Zhengrong said.
Xiong Ba Hu laughed loudly and said, “Hahaha… Of course, you’ve paid, so I will do my best to meet your needs.”
“Thank you, Master Xiong.” Li Zhengrong’s face brightened.
“Alright, I have to go on stage for a match tonight. If you’re interested, you can come out and watch,” Xiong Ba Hu said as he stood up.
At over two meters tall, with a body full of muscles, he looked like a giant.
The bald man and Li Zhengrong exchanged glances, their eyes filled with cruelty and mockery.
Next, they just needed to find a way to bring Fang Yu to this underground martial arts arena.
……
Li Xiaomo returned, her face full of joy, and said to Fang Yu, “Mr. Fang, they said Master Xiong Ba Hu will be on stage tonight!”
“Oh? Can I go on stage to fight him later?” Fang Yu asked.
Hearing this question, Li Xiaomo’s expression changed.
Fang Yu actually wanted to go on stage to fight Xiong Ba Hu!?
Did he know what kind of existence Xiong Ba Hu was?
“…In theory, everyone present can challenge the contestants on the martial arts stage. Many wealthy people sometimes bring their subordinates to compete on stage… but…” Li Xiaomo looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with hesitation.
“But what?” Fang Yu asked.
“Mr. Fang, you need to think carefully. Xiong Ba Hu’s strength is extremely terrifying… Opponents who have fought him have ended up in terrible situations, either killed on the spot or left bedridden for life. I suggest you don’t…” Li Xiaomo said.
“It’s fine. We’ll find out how strong he is soon enough,” Fang Yu said, leaning back in his chair and watching the two fighters on the martial arts stage.
Li Xiaomo looked at Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
She had thought Fang Yu just wanted to come here to watch the matches, but she didn’t expect him to want to go on stage and fight Xiong Ba Hu!
Soon, the match on the martial arts stage ended with one side knocked out.
A suited host walked onto the stage, holding a microphone, looking excited, and shouted, “The next match is definitely the one everyone has been waiting for. Can you guess who will take the stage!?”
“Xiong Ba Hu!” A wave of enthusiastic responses erupted from the audience, with many guests standing up.
“That’s right, it’s the invincible Master Xiong, Xiong Ba Hu! The opponent he will face tonight is not an ordinary person either! It’s the undefeated fighter of the past three months, the Lord of Fists, Lei Chong!” the host announced.
Hearing this, Fang Yu showed a strange expression.
These fighters didn’t seem very strong, but their nicknames were all quite fierce.
“Everyone must have been looking forward to this matchup for a long time, so now, let’s enjoy it! Guests who want to predict tonight’s winner can make their choices quickly; the match will officially start in ten minutes!” The host finished speaking and left the martial arts stage.
A crowd of guests rushed to the long table beside the martial arts stage to place their bets.
“Mr. Fang, are you placing a bet?” Li Xiaomo asked.
“I have no money,” Fang Yu replied.
“Mr. Fang, you really know how to joke,” Li Xiaomo chuckled lightly.
……
Ten minutes later, the guests had finished placing their bets, and the odds had reached a terrifying 100 to 1.7.
A bare-chested middle-aged man stepped onto the martial arts stage, and the audience immediately erupted in cheers.
“Now stepping onto the martial arts stage is the Lord of Fists, Lei Chong! In the past three months, he has fought thirty-eight matches without a single defeat! His strength is extremely formidable!” the host introduced.
After a few more seconds, a massive figure walked out from backstage, and the audience erupted into extremely enthusiastic cheers!
“Xiong Ba Hu, Xiong Ba Hu, Xiong Ba Hu…”
Everyone around stood up, their eyes burning with excitement as they watched Xiong Ba Hu step onto the martial arts stage.
“Master Xiong, I believe everyone knows him. In the two and a half years since he came to our martial arts arena, he has fought two hundred seventy-two matches without a single loss!”
“Tonight, both are opponents in a winning streak. Who do you think will end the winning streak!?” the host shouted.
“Lei Chong!” the audience shouted in unison.
To them, Xiong Ba Hu was an invincible existence, and he could never lose.
Even though Lei Chong had been on a hot streak recently, it didn’t change that fact.
Because of this, the odds for this match were…
“The match officially begins!” the host shouted.
Fang Yu looked at Xiong Ba Hu on stage, frowning slightly.
This man only had the cultivation of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and he just looked a bit strong.
Even if he absorbed his cultivation, the benefits wouldn’t be high.
Having come all the way here without seeing a single master-level martial artist, Fang Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
Noticing Fang Yu’s expression, Li Xiaomo’s heart sank.
Could it be that Fang Yu looked down on even Xiong Ba Hu?
This was a fighter who was invincible in the underground martial arts arena!
“Mr. Fang, which side do you think will win in this matchup?” Li Xiaomo asked.
Fang Yu glanced at Li Xiaomo and said, “Xiong Ba Hu will win, and he will win easily.”
“Mr. Fang, don’t underestimate Lei Chong, he…” Li Xiaomo hadn’t finished speaking when a wave of cheers erupted around them.
On the martial arts stage, Xiong Ba Hu’s fist smashed into Lei Chong’s face, sending him flying.
Lei Chong quickly got up from the ground, his mouth full of blood.
He charged towards Xiong Ba Hu’s side, trying to use his speed to sneak attack Xiong Ba Hu’s weak side.
Lei Chong quickly reached Xiong Ba Hu’s left side and threw a punch aimed directly at Xiong Ba Hu’s lower back!
Xiong Ba Hu reacted extremely quickly, looking nothing like a giant over two meters tall!
He threw a punch at Lei Chong’s chest!
“Crack!”
Lei Chong’s chest visibly caved in.
The bones in his body were shattered by Xiong Ba Hu’s punch!
A wave of applause and cheers erupted around them again.
Lei Chong fell to the ground, unable to move, blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
The host picked up the microphone and shouted, “Two punches! Master Xiong defeated Lei Chong with just two punches! It seems the title of Lord of Fists will change hands!”
Xiong Ba Hu roared at the audience, and the crowd responded with enthusiastic applause and cheers.
“Master Xiong is indeed powerful; you didn’t make a mistake in finding him,” Li Zhengrong said to the bald man beside him.
“Of course, otherwise why would we pay so much money? Isn’t it because he’s strong enough!?” the bald man laughed.
At that moment, Li Zhengrong casually glanced to the side and his expression changed.
Wasn’t that Fang Yu? And Li Xiaomo! How did they end up here!?
After a brief moment of surprise, a sinister smile appeared on Li Zhengrong’s face.
“What’s wrong?” the bald man asked Li Zhengrong.
Li Zhengrong pointed to Fang Yu’s location and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “Hahaha… Great! We’re so lucky; Fang Yu and Li Xiaomo have come right to us…”
The bald man also laughed when he saw Fang Yu and Li Xiaomo not far away.
“Let’s go, quickly go on stage and tell Master Xiong,” Li Zhengrong said, and then he and the bald man walked onto the martial arts stage.
Below, seeing Li Zhengrong and the bald man stepping onto the martial arts stage, Li Xiaomo’s expression changed!
How did these two end up here? What were they going to say to Xiong Ba Hu on stage!?
Li Xiaomo’s thoughts were in disarray when she saw Li Zhengrong and the bald man pointing at her location!
Then, Xiong Ba Hu also looked over!
“Is it that young man sitting there?” On the martial arts stage, Xiong Ba Hu looked at Fang Yu, frowning and asking.
“Exactly, it’s him!” Li Zhengrong nodded, his eyes fierce.
Xiong Ba Hu stood up, stepped to the edge of the martial arts stage, and pointed at Fang Yu, saying, “You, come up to the stage.”
