Chapter 222 - 222: Sudden Change in the Situation
In a private room upstairs, the dwarf, watching the scene on the television, finally couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, I think he can't hold on any longer. Should we help him?"
"No need."
"But... his arm is broken. If he dies, wouldn't our trip have been in vain?"
"If he can't even get through this, then he no longer has the qualifications to see me."
The dwarf was stunned for a moment, looking at the situation on the screen where Ye Qing was being chased all over the place by Tony Lu, a chill ran through his heart. One of Ye Qing's arms had dislocated, and turning the table in this situation was as difficult as reaching heaven!
At the same time, in Tiger King's private room upstairs, he was excitedly watching the scene on the television.
"Eldest Brother, he's done for!" His underling said excitedly on the side, "We just received another fifty million in bets; these sons of bitches are really bold, actually betting that he would break the record. Including the previous one hundred and ten million, that brings the total to one hundred and sixty million. As long as Ye Qing loses this match, we'll have made a huge profit again!"
"Not only does he need to lose this match, but he also has to leave his life on the ring!" Tiger King said with a cold laugh at the corner of his mouth, "Once we deal with him, we can sell those two women to Chicken King and that kid to Beggar King. Damn it, he crippled my cousin and ruined my business; I want him to pay back a hundredfold!"
In the basement, everyone was in despair over Ye Qing, as the situation had become very clear. One of Ye Qing's arms remained limp on the ground, and as Tony Lu pursued him relentlessly, Ye Qing got punched several times and finally couldn't hold back and vomited a mouthful of blood.
Given the situation, it was only a matter of time before Ye Qing was defeated, and there was even the possibility that he could be beaten to death alive!
This situation was clearly a deadlock, impossible to break.
Tony Lu became increasingly ferocious as he fought, chasing after Ye Qing, roaring continuously, "I thought my opponent was a master, but I didn't expect it to be such trash. Huaxia trash, you don't deserve to stand on this ring at all. I will use my fists to beat you to death alive, and let you experience the power of our Thai Boxing!"
Tony Lu had been in Huaxia for a while, and spoke Huaxia very clearly. His words incited even more anger from the crowd. However, Tony Lu was indeed dominating, and aside from denouncing him, the people were powerless to change the situation.
Ye Qing was also filled with rage inside. This battle was exceedingly stifling. Most importantly, he still didn't know the situation of Fang Tingyun and the others. He was unable to counterattack and could only passively avoid being hit. But at this point, the situation had become completely a deadlock. Was he really going to die here?
Ye Qing desperately dodged Tony Lu's attacks, much like a trapped beast, fighting only to live another second. Tony Lu, however, was insanely aggressive, attacking like a torrential storm, seemingly intent on beating Ye Qing to death alive. This man was even more ferocious than Jackson, becoming a bloodthirsty beast in his excitement!
"Ye Qing, if it's really not working, you can admit defeat!" The fat man who had stood up earlier couldn't bear to watch and shouted; he had won quite a bit of money on Ye Qing that night and had become a loyal fan of Ye Qing.
"There's no such thing as accepting defeat on this ring!" Tony Lu turned his head and roared, "Fighting me means only having a dead end!"
"F*ck your ancestors, don't you get cocky, you motherf*cker, believe it or not, I can make sure you can't leave Shenchuan City alive!" The fat man cursed, but it still didn't change the situation.
Ye Qing took a few deep breaths, his eyes fixed on Tony Lu in front of him, always on guard for his attacks.
"Ye!" Suddenly, a woman's scream rang out at the venue, and everyone turned their heads to look.
Ye Qing's expression changed, and he quickly turned to look, only to see Fang Tingyun running over in tears. Not far behind her, Mo Xiang was coming over with Broom Star. And not far behind these three, stood a figure as towering as a Heavenly God, guarding them.
That person was Black Bear. Seeing Ye Qing, he revealed a simple smile on his face and waved at Ye Qing, signaling him not to worry.
Fang Tingyun had already run to the edge of the iron net. Seeing the extent of Ye Qing's injuries, she cried with her eyes red and swollen, stretching her fingers through the iron net to tightly grasp Ye Qing's hand.
Ye Qing took a deep breath. With these three people safe, he had no more concerns.
"Ye, stop fighting, let's leave," Fang Tingyun choked and sobbed.
"It's okay, it's okay." Ye Qing smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, slowly turning his head to look at Tony Lu, "I can finally have a proper fight with him!"
"But... your arm is broken, how can you fight him?" Fang Tingyun said anxiously.
"It's okay." Ye Qing turned to look at Black Bear walking over and called out, "Xiong Zi!"
"Here!" Black Bear walked up to the edge of the iron net, and Ye Qing placed his dislocated arm on the iron net. Black Bear grabbed the iron net with his hand and twisted the net out of shape, gripping Ye Qing's arm tightly.
Ye Qing pressed on his dislocated shoulder and twisted sharply. With a "crack," his dislocated arm was put back into place. Ye Qing pulled back his arm, raised it, and gave it a shake; the arm seemed to have returned to normal!
The entire room was shocked, everyone's eyes were wide open. A dislocated arm, and Ye Qing just popped the bone back into place so simply, something people had never even heard of before.
Moments later, the crowd was exhilarated, everyone stood up, and together they chanted to cheer Ye Qing on. The atmosphere this time was hotter than any other before, especially since Ye Qing's act of resetting his arm had everyone's blood boiling!
"Ye Qing will win! Ye Qing will win!" The Fatty was the first to shout, gradually influencing those around him. Eventually, the entire room was shouting these four words, even the referee was waving his arms, extremely excited.
Upstairs, in the Tiger King's private room, he watched all this with his mouth agape, his face etched with disbelief.
"What... what the hell is going on?" It took a while for Tiger King to ask this, pointing to the three people by the ring, he said, "How could they appear there? How could they be there!"
The henchmen beside him trembled in fear, whispering, "We... we don't know..."
"What the fuck does 'don't know' mean?" Tiger King suddenly stood up, kicking the henchman who spoke flying, and roared, "Who can tell me, why did they appear there?"
One underling was quicker on the uptake, hurriedly pulling out his phone to contact the crew supposed to be watching the three. However, the phone rang several times with no answer from the other side.
"Boss, I... I think, it's probably that guy Black Bear who rescued them..." one underling murmured, "Our guys not answering their phones, it's practically certain they've been dealt with by him."
"Bullshit!" Tiger King roared furiously, "This is my turf, I have over two hundred men here tonight, security is tighter than anywhere else. Tell me, how did that man get in here, how did he rescue those three people? He walked away with them right under our noses, how could I not know a damn thing?"
No one could answer that; nobody knew how Black Bear had managed it.
"Boss, we've got trouble!" Suddenly, another underling rushed in, exclaiming, "Our... our forty-odd brothers guarding outside, they've all been knocked unconscious, we've lost all our guards..."
"What the hell happened?" Tiger King slammed the table in a rage, he was losing his mind.
"Was it Black Bear who took down our men?" another underling whispered.
"Impossible!" Tiger King roared decisively, "Even Ye couldn't do that, let alone Black Bear. Fucking hell, there must be someone else helping them. But who in Shenchuan City could do that?"
At that, Tiger King's brow furrowed, he suddenly clenched his teeth and said, "It couldn't be that old man from the Ding family, could it?"
"The old man from the Ding family?" The underlings were astonished, and one, slightly more knowledgeable, immediately said, "Boss, you don't mean the old bodyguard from the Ding Shaoyan family who once took on the biggest gang in Shenchuan City on his own, killed thirteen men, injured thirty-seven, without suffering a single scratch himself?"
Tiger King's face darkened as he gritted his teeth, "That's just a legend. In reality, the number of people he killed and injured that night far exceeds what you've heard!"
Everyone was stunned, the previous legend was already terrifying enough. But now, Tiger King had revealed a chilling fact, that the man was even more horrific than the tales suggested. Then who was this old bodyguard, really?
"Boss, Ye... Ye may not be able to enlist someone like that, right?" an underling said with a shaky voice.
"Apart from him, who else in Shenchuan City could sneak into my Dog Field without a sound and without my knowing?" Tiger King frowned deeply, then slammed the table, "Damn it, whether it's him or not, I absolutely won't let this money go."
Grinding his teeth, Tiger King turned and said sternly, "You guys go watch Yang Shitao's room and make sure he doesn't leave!"
The men looked at each other, one of them whispering, "Boss, if Yang dies here, our reputation..."
"Reputation my ass!" Tiger King yelled, "If Yang doesn't die, I'll be ruined paying off the debt. Besides, someone attacked my Dog Field tonight. If we pin it on the attackers, what does it have to do with us?"
The crowd suddenly understood, while Tiger King turned his attention back to the screen, saying solemnly, "Of course, if Ye loses, that would be the best outcome!"
As he spoke, even Tiger King himself had his doubts. Ye Qing's strength truly exceeded his expectations, and he couldn't judge whether Ye could win this fight or not!
Back in the Underground Boxing Ring, Ye Qing, his arm now corrected, had regained his confident and silent demeanor. He walked to the center of the ring, quietly looking at Tony Lu, and said, "Now, we can finally have a proper fight!"
"Hmph, even if you fight with all your might, the outcome will be the same!" Tony Lu looked at Ye Qing with contempt and said, "Because you are doomed to die!"
