Login with GoogleChapter 20: Bending the Knees
Bai Wei looked up and down at the person and said, "The corpse is speaking?"
Tsuyoshi Goto's eyelid twitched, revealing an impatient expression, "You need not speak, for at most you will be but an additional 'nobody' on a tombstone."
"I never liked people who brag or talk nonsense," Bai Wei joked. "It's obvious what you're trying to do."
"What are you saying?" Tsuyoshi Goto really didn't know Bai Wei, nor did he intentionally try to remember his appearance.
"I'm saying… you're ridiculous."
Bai Wei lowered his stick and swung it violently, knocking out the thug who was attempting to stab him in the heel from behind.
With a flash of electric spark, the water pipe had already switched from the left hand to the right hand, and then back to the left hand.
Tsuyoshi Goto held his breath and concentrated.
The opponent's swinging motion of the weapon made him suspect that the opponent might be skilled in dual-wielding.
The young man walked slowly.
"Since you have chosen such despicable means, we cannot coexist between us."
"This is a fight to the death."
"Is it necessary to politely ask for the opponent's name and give insincere compliments?"
"You only need me here, just for one thing, a simple thing."
"Kneel before the emperor…you sinner!"
Enunciate each word clearly.
The contempt in the words is evident.
Tsuyoshi Goto's brow furrowed, and he shouted as his face launched forward like a giant bear swatting with its paw.
Bai Wei kicked directly the table that was falling forward in front of him, the ash scattered over half of his body, and his patterned shirt was stained with white.
In the midst of the dust, he swung the water pipe and, with a clang, hit his target directly.
This time is somewhat different.
Bai Wei frowned, pushed away backwards, and felt a slight numbness in his left hand.
In the smoke and ash, a fist as strong as steel swept across, causing Bai Wei's bangs to flutter in the wind. He leaned back to avoid getting hit by two consecutive punches, but leaned back too much and didn't notice the obstacle behind his heel. He lost his balance and fell backwards onto his back.
Tsuyoshi Goto followed closely and his stomping caused the cement ground to collapse directly, showing his immense strength.
Bai Wei lifted the water pipe and stabbed it towards the opponent's chest. He saw the opponent take a deep breath, muscles tightening, and although the steel hit the muscles, it actually bent sharply but didn't break.
Tsuyoshi Goto caught up and kicked, sending Bai Wei flying three meters away. He crossed his hands to block the impact, slapped the ground with his right hand, and quickly got up.
"This kind of blunt weapon cannot hurt me," Tsuyoshi Goto said as he tore off his ripped sleeves to reveal the half of a tattoo on his arm, which vaguely showed a certain Buddhist tattoo. "I have the protection of the Vajra!"
Bai Wei sighed and said, "Do you think I'm uneducated… In the Ming Country's twelve-year compulsory education system, unconventional martial arts have already been widely popularized. Your steel-like body is nothing more than having practiced the Iron-cloth Shirt for more than ten years."
Tsuyoshi Goto, who had been exposed, was not embarrassed at all. Ordinary people could not reach his level even after practicing martial arts for a lifetime.
Since ancient times, humans have liked to boast about gaining blessings from gods and buddhas, and this is equally true in the martial arts supremist Yingzhou.
Being strong enough is sufficient, the source of strength is not important.
Bai Wei threw down the twisted water pipe in his hand and raised his heels while jumping to warm up.
[Tsuyoshi Goto] [Leader of the Sanada Group]
[Overall Level 15 (Unnamed Martial Arts 7, Unrestricted Fighting 8)]
[Blood Bar: 100%]
[Energy Bar: 99%]
[Status: Iron Arm]
[Note: Upgrade after completion]
After one round of fighting, Tsuyoshi Goto's stats were all displayed in front of me. Not only was the blood bar highlighted, but also an additional energy bar appeared below it.
I wonder if a red dot will appear above his head after the energy bar is out of charge.
Just that…Iron Arm…
Bai Wei took a closer look at the opponent's hands, which were thicker and had more defined muscle lines compared to those of a normal person, as if they were made of steel.
Proficient in boxing.
Oh, I understand.
He picked up a metal bat from the ground, suddenly thrusting it forward, taking the opponent off guard.
A bat that's heavy in the front and light in the back is not suitable as a single-handed weapon, swinging it is more effective than thrusting it.
Tsuyoshi Goto blocked the force of the frontal collision with his arm, making a crisp sound like the collision of steel.
The gangster boss roared, "It's useless!"
He grasped the bat tightly, but in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared before him.
Bai Wei had already silently let go of the cheap and deformed bat, and circled to his rear.
He rushed forward only to close the distance, then let go of his weapon, crouched down, bent over to get out of Tsuyoshi Goto's sight, and then suddenly paused, locked onto his waist, and exerted force to lift him up.
Tsuyoshi Goto's waist was blocked, feeling a sense of danger, he immediately tried to crouch down, but he was one step too slow. His feet immediately left the ground, and his occiput and posterior neck were slammed towards the ground in a dizzying manner. When he landed, it was like a heavy hammer, with cracks spreading out five meters in length.
German suplex!
Tsuyoshi Goto's eyes rolled back whitely, almost passing out, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up with a burst of willpower.
"Guts!" He growled lowly, "Don't underestimate… the gangster's, guts… ah!"
Bai Wei was disapproving, taking a few steps back, it was inevitable that he would pass out even if left alone, he couldn't hold on for much longer.
Tsuyoshi Goto's defense was concentrated on both hands, iron arms, and boxing techniques, but it didn't mean that other parts were guarded. It was better to attack the more vulnerable parts.
If there was a handy and sharp enough knife, there would be no need for such trouble, let alone the use of mixed martial arts techniques.
Tsuyoshi Goto resisted the dizziness, stood up unsteadily, and immediately shook violently. A line of text appeared next to the health bar.
[Power Burst]
He almost charged towards the enemy with an attitude of "do or die".
After the outburst of fury, a large amount of adrenaline was secreted, suppressing the sense of pain. A surge of energy was flowing, allowing the person to exert almost endless strength within a short period of time.
The consequences are also very serious, which can cause severe exhaustion and make the person unable to move for several days. Failing to stop the loss in time can even lead to exhaustion and death.
The consequences are serious, but if it is necessary, we have to use it.
He rushed up quickly, almost instantly approaching Bai Wei.
"I got you!"
He hooked his hands towards Bai Wei, relying on his iron wrist and arm strength, he could strangle a brown bear alive.
However, catching the person turned out to be an illusion.
Bai Wei leaned to the side and the other person grabbed the cuff of his shirt, tearing off a piece of dark blue fabric.
The young man was like a piece of floating cotton, avoiding the capture, while sweeping his leg, hitting the back of the knee with precision.
The leader of the gang kneels down in humiliation, his knees hitting the ground, with a cracking sound, his bones are broken.
As if declared by a king, the criminals will kneel and bow down before the king.
Tsuyoshi Goto, half kneeling on the ground, was almost consumed by anger and madness. He attempted to turn his head and roar but was only met with another merciless kick.
Bang!
The whip kick hit the side of the face, and the impact force poured into the brainstem.
His silhouette landed like a sandbag hitting the ground, with a dull sound mixed with some slight, fragmented noises.
Bai Wei didn't hold back much. This guy can endure a lot. His health is still 90% even after taking all those hits.
… Oh, it seems like it's only 70% now.
Bai Wei shook his shoulder, feeling some soreness in his muscles. The consumption was slightly higher.
He walked towards the second floor, and at the same time heard some movement behind him. He turned his head to look.
Tsuyoshi Goto tried to prop himself up, but only a few fingers obeyed him, and his muscles trembled all over.
Tsuyoshi Goto's several attempts were all in vain, as he fell to the ground. The humiliating sound was something only he could hear.
"Ming…"
What he wanted to say was about the emperor of the Ming Country, but he stuttered and lost his strength.
Unable to sustain his consciousness, he fell to the ground, leaving behind only an unclear final sentence.
"Emepror…"
As the young man was about to climb the steps when suddenly a pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.
[Choose Option 1 to leave and end the instance, and proceed to settlement.]
[Choose Option 2 to climb the second floor and postpone instance settlement; reward will increase.]
Bai Wei looked through the broken glass window and saw a large red exclamation mark inside the room… Do you even need to think about it?
Standing at the staircase, Bai Wei knocked on the door with a polite and gentle attitude.
"The person inside, die."
