Chapter 147: Cicada stalks the mantis

Views:

"Ugh..." Feng Bahan knelt on the ground, supporting himself with one hand and covering his lower abdomen with the other, retching.

The stadium was completely silent, and the scene just now happened so fast that most people didn't see clearly what happened.

After a while, the director seemed to wake up and immediately played the previous scene in slow motion. The audience at the scene and in front of the TV saw that when Feng Bahan kicked out, Zheng Yubai dodged lightly and swung his right fist like lightning, hitting Feng Bahan's lower abdomen.

Then the game turned out like this. I thought the idol would be able to show his power and defeat the country bumpkin Zheng Yubai cleanly, but I didn't expect the situation to be reversed. Feng Bahan's fans looked at the situation on the field stupidly, unable to believe their eyes. Some psychologically fragile girls even started sobbing.

Feng Bahan tried hard to get up, but his stomach was in such pain that he felt like he was going to vomit when he just moved his feet slightly, let alone stand. He struggled for a few times, but finally couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes went black and he fell forward, his face falling into his vomit. Not only did he lose the game, he also lost face.

Poor Feng Bahan was carried away by the medical staff, and Zheng Yubai won the victory undisputedly. The match took a total of three seconds, setting the fastest knockout record in the martial arts conference. Feng Bahan's provocation before the match was still fresh in our ears, and in the blink of an eye, the reality became like this. The ups and downs overshadowed the disadvantages of the match ending too quickly, and made all the people who witnessed this scene discuss it tirelessly. Even when the next Huang Shiyu match started, many people were absent-minded, just reminiscing about the classic three seconds just now.

"Great!" A burst of cheers broke out in the box, and Xu Jin said to the girls excitedly: "Kill them all!"

Although everyone thought Zheng Yubai would win, every girl conservatively thought that he would need at least three rounds. So Xu Jin, the dealer, won a great victory, winning ten Haagen-Dazs ice creams and five cream cakes. Although he lost, everyone had a smile on their face, because Zheng Yubai defeated the arrogant and annoying Cream Feng Bahan and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

"That's a good punch." Zheng Jingzhe praised happily, as if he was the one who had just thrown that wonderful punch.

"This punch is even better than what you taught me." Zheng Shuangjiang said, "His footwork and the way he exerts force have changed a lot."

"This kid is getting better and better." Zheng Jingzhe thought of the fierce fight under the bridge a few days ago and seemed quite satisfied with his son's progress. But he felt a little disappointed when he thought that he could no longer enjoy beating his son. However, when he saw the beautiful women in the box, he began to look forward to honing his skills from a young age after he had grandchildren.

Zheng Yubai returned to the locker room and hurriedly changed his clothes before going to the box to watch the next match. The two players in this match were Huang Shiyu, an outstanding disciple of the Southern Style Shadowless Kick, and Ma Zonglu, a Thai boxing fighter from Thailand. The winner between them would be Zheng Yubai's opponent in the semi-finals. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle. Now, all the remaining players are masters. If you don't get enough intelligence in advance, you may not know how you will die in the future.

As soon as I walked out of the locker room, I saw Feng Bahan's tall figure walking towards me from afar, supported by several followers.

Feng Bahan looked listless and pale. When he looked up, he saw Zheng Yubai coming over and his face suddenly twitched.

"Are you okay?" When Zheng Yubai saw them coming over, the expression on his face was as if a spice store had been overturned, with all the ingredients including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Feng Bahan's expression was as ugly as it could be, and he said hatefully: "You... I must kill you. You better be careful when you walk on the street next time."

Watching Feng Bahan walking away while cursing, Zheng Yubai scratched his head helplessly. Too many lice won't bite, and too many debts won't worry. Zheng Yubai didn't know how long he had heard this kind of threat. He had experienced so many death threats, so why would he still care about Feng Bahan

After seeing off the half-dead Feng Bahan, Zheng Yubai came to the box and was greeted with warm applause as soon as he entered.

Yu Luo, Yang Feiyan and Su Su rushed up together. Yu Luo was the most relaxed. She hugged Zheng Yubai's waist and said with a smile, "Brother Yubai, you are so good. You won in just three seconds."

Zheng Yubai was startled by them. He took a peek and saw that the three elders turned their heads away very tactfully. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Yubai, I won a lot of ice cream and cakes just now as the banker." Xu Jin came over with a smile, "I'll invite everyone to celebrate later."

“Tsk…” Several beauties who lost their ice cream and cake pouted.

After greeting the beauties, Zheng Yubai walked to the elders, scratched his head and asked, "Dad, aunt and uncle, I'm back."

Tang Yunsheng had not been able to join in the professional discussion between the Zheng brothers and sisters. When he saw Zheng Yubai coming back, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Yubai played very well today."

But the Zheng brothers and sisters obviously didn't think so. Zheng Jingzhe waved his hand and said, "Come here."

Zheng Yubai knew that no matter how well he fought, even if he knocked out his opponent in three seconds, his father and aunt would definitely have something to say.

Sure enough, when Zheng Yubai came in front of him, Zheng Jingzhe lowered his voice and said, "Although your actions just now were creative, they were still very clumsy." As he spoke, he demonstrated the actions to Zheng Yubai. In a moment, Zheng Yubai really understood something and couldn't help but sigh that the old ones are still the best.

"Do you understand?" Seeing his son's humble look of seeking advice, Zheng Jingzhe's vanity was greatly satisfied. He thought that if he were ten or twenty years younger, he would have no problem making a splash on stage.

Zheng Yubai imitated the movements improved by his father, and it was exactly the same, without any difference. Zheng Jingzhe nodded approvingly and exchanged glances with Zheng Shuangjiang. He was very satisfied with his son.

After talking for a while, the next match was ready and about to begin. Huang Shiyu and Ma Zonglu stood on the ring and saluted. Following the referee's gesture, the second match began.

Huang Shiyu is tall and strong, especially his legs are incredibly thick, which is out of proportion to his body. It reminds people of the two legs of the football king Maradona, which are short, thick, but flexible and powerful.

His opponent, Ma Zonglu, was the opposite. He was short and skinny, with white bandages wrapped around his head, arms, and legs, making him look like a bamboo pole. But no one dared to underestimate him, because in the previous rounds of competition, Ma Zonglu had already demonstrated his extraordinary strength, with his every move having the power to break monuments and split rocks.

Ma Zonglu is a Muay Thai master. Muay Thai is the most practical martial arts in the world. Once upon a time, Chinese martial arts, which neglected practical skills, were beaten to pieces by Muay Thai without any chance to fight back. Not only martial arts, but Muay Thai once swept all martial arts at a certain time, and it could be said to be invincible.

However, as countries around the world pay more attention to Muay Thai, many methods to restrain Muay Thai have been invented. Especially Huang Shiyu, the successor of the Shadowless Kick, is not afraid of Ma Zonglu, who is quite famous in Asia. The most powerful techniques in Muay Thai are elbow and knee joint techniques plus leg sweeps. When it comes to leg skills, Huang Shiyu is not afraid of anyone on this planet.

"Muay Thai..." Zheng Jingzhe saw Ma Zonglu dressed like a typical Muay Thai fighter and doing some actions that seemed strange to ordinary people to worship the gods before the game, and he couldn't help but become serious, "I'm afraid this guy will be a big enemy. Yu Bai, your next opponent may be this Muay Thai fighter, you must watch his fighting style carefully."

Zheng Yubai nodded and said, "I will." He naturally knew the power of Muay Thai. In fact, Muay Thai and Xingyiquan are very similar in many ways. For example, both are good at using various parts of the body as weapons to attack the enemy at will, and they also have strong destructive power. It is difficult to tell the winner in terms of power, but the real fight has never been about what kind of boxing method is used, but about the person who uses the boxing method.

Yang Huting frowned slightly at the referee's table. In fact, he had always disapproved of his grandson Yang Feiyun's martial arts conference. Ever since his son died in a car accident, Yang Huting had always stubbornly believed that martial arts had declined and would be abandoned by the technological era no matter how it was saved. However, seeing that the conference was thriving and his grandson had invited Luo Hengyang and Sun Yunqing, he naturally couldn't refuse.

But now seeing Ma Zonglu, Yang Huting was a little worried. There were no protective measures in this martial arts conference. The contestants did not even wear gloves when fighting, so it was easy to hurt people. Dozens of contestants were injured before, with concussions and fractures. Although Yang Feiyun had already taken out a huge amount of insurance, it still caused a lot of controversy.

Seeing Ma Zonglu coming out, Yang Huting recalled that in the previous rounds, many opponents had broken bones and were hospitalized, and some were even in danger of death. This quarterfinal match was crucial, and once the real fire was used, there was no guarantee that there would be no injuries. Thinking of this, Yang Huting was secretly worried.

No matter what everyone thought, Huang Shiyu and Ma Zonglu immediately dispersed as soon as the match started, wandering around on both sides of the ring, looking at each other vigilantly.

Ma Zonglu moved first, but he did not launch an attack. Instead, he slowly approached the center of the venue. As he moved, he stretched out a finger and made a slightly humiliating finger-hooking gesture to Huang Shiyu.

Huang Shiyu was furious, and seeing the opportunity when Ma Zonglu's steps were unstable, he rushed forward and kicked Ma Zonglu in the waist. This kick was extremely fierce, and if it was kicked, it would end the fight immediately.

Ma Zonglu did not retreat or block, but used a move called "Heavenly King Transformation", which was a kick, a life-for-life desperate move. Huang Shiyu did not expect him to be so fierce, and panicked, so he retracted his legs and retreated.

Since the Muay Thai fighter had the upper hand, it was not so easy to turn the tables. Ma Zonglu got this opportunity and immediately launched a violent attack, using his hands, elbows, knees, and legs to launch devastating attacks. Any blow to the body could break bones and tendons.

Huang Shiyu retreated repeatedly, but although he was in a disadvantageous situation, he did not lose his balance. The excellence of Southern Kung Fu lies in the steadiness of horse stance and the strong defense ability. Although Ma Zonglu's punches and kicks were powerful, they did not cause any real damage to Huang Shiyu.

Ma Zonglu attacked frantically, consuming a lot of energy, and his speed slowed down a little. Huang Shiyu seized the opportunity and kicked out with a whip kick. Ma Zonglu shrank back slightly to avoid Huang Shiyu's kick. When he kicked out the second time, his body rushed forward and threw himself into Huang Shiyu's arms, and his left elbow stabbed into his chest horizontally, which was the "garlanding" in Muay Thai.

Huang Shiyu was also a veteran fighter. Seeing that the elbow would hit his chest, he was afraid that he would die. At this critical moment, he relied on his strong waist and leg strength to roll back and dodged the attack. Then he supported his leg and kicked Ma Zonglu in vain. While Ma Zonglu was avoiding, he rolled on the ground and fled to a safe area.

These moves were very exciting, and the audience was feasting their eyes and naturally did not hesitate to applaud. The Zheng family members in the box also nodded frequently, praising Ma Zonglu's fierce attack and Huang Shiyu's beautiful dodge.

When Ma Zonglu saw Huang Shiyu dodge, he immediately started to chase him. He rushed forward and kicked him. Sun Yunqing, who was on the judges' bench, was shocked: "Isn't this the God of War? He actually knows this lost ancient Muay Thai technique. It really can't be underestimated."

Huang Shiyu faced Ma Zonglu with great force, but he was not afraid at all. He shouted, "I'm not afraid of you in a kicking contest." Facing Ma Zonglu's kick, he supported himself with his left leg and swept out with his right leg, confronting Ma Zonglu head-on in the air.

The sound of "bang" was heard, and even the audience watching them kicking felt a little painful, but the two stood face to face like crazy people who didn't know what pain was, kicking each other. At first, they were trying to use the power of leg techniques and the range of attack control, but gradually it turned into a competition between the two. Although Ma Zonglu had various attack techniques, he was fighting with Huang Shiyu with leg techniques at this moment, going back and forth, ping-pong, having a lot of fun.

"He is worthy of being a disciple of the Shadowless Kick. I didn't expect that after the Southern School had been hiding for so many years, it actually produced such a young master." Zheng Jingzhe was surprised.

The shadowless kick is just an exaggeration, of course it is impossible to really have no shadow. But Huang Shiyu's kicking skills are indeed fast and fierce, like a poisonous snake, with a phantom, circling back and forth in Ma Zonglu's vital parts, as long as there is a flaw, it can bite a fatal bite at any time. In comparison, although Ma Zonglu's kicking skills are powerful, the speed is slightly inferior, and he gradually fell behind.

"Got it!" The continuous collisions between the two sides, in addition to the consumption of physical strength, also put great pressure on the bones and flesh. In such a high-intensity confrontation, the body is too tense and it is easy to get injured. When Huang Shiyu kicked out his 61st kick, Ma Zonglu's reaction was obviously a bit slow. His originally thin legs had swollen due to congestion after continuous collisions. Although he had undergone countless pain-enduring training when he was a child, Huang Shiyu's kicks were too sharp, pushing Ma Zonglu's endurance to the limit.

Huang Shiyu's kick finally failed to keep up with the rhythm and he was kicked in the soft spot, breaking three ribs immediately.

Although his bones were broken, Ma Zonglu seemed to still have the courage to fight again, but Huang Shiyu did not give him a chance, and rushed forward, launching a series of violent and violent blows. Ma Zonglu was seriously injured and had no strength to fight back, and was finally hit in the face by Huang Shiyu, and fell to the ground.

"The winner is Huang Shiyu!" The referee determined that Ma Zonglu was no longer able to continue the game and announced that Huang Shiyu had won. Huang Shiyu's fans in the gymnasium burst into thunderous applause. After this fierce fight, Huang Shiyu became the second player to advance to the semi-finals. His opponent in the semi-finals was Zheng Yubai, who defeated Feng Bahan in three seconds.

"This is your opponent, watch out." Zheng Jingzhe saw his son's thoughtful look and was afraid that he didn't see Huang Shiyu's strength clearly, so he said hurriedly.

Zheng Yubai stared at Huang Shiyu's legs, and was shocked. He had never seen such a fierce kicking technique before. Anyone who could win such a fierce battle with a Thai boxer with strong resistance to blows must be a very strong opponent. Huang Shiyu not only has powerful kicking skills, but also has strong defensive capabilities. He is a master who has brought southern martial arts to the extreme.

In fact, Ma Zonglu's strength was not weaker than Huang Shiyu. If he had not insisted on competing with Huang Shiyu in leg skills, he would not have lost so badly. But even if he lost, it left a very deep impression on Huang Shiyu, because although he won, his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Some people say that Muay Thai fighters are all made of steel, which is absolutely true. Huang Shiyu broke his steel, but he also paid a price. He just forced a smile and waved to his supporters, refusing to show any signs of injury.

After this match, Zheng Yubai had decided on his opponent, and he had no interest in the remaining two matches. For the optimistic Zheng Yubai, he would consider facing his opponent after the next match, so he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

The girls had long lost interest in the game. In their eyes, no matter how intense the fight was, it was no more attractive than Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Besides, they came to the gym to watch the blood and sweat just for Zheng Yubai. Now that Zheng Yubai's game was over, they were showing respect to the other players by not yawning while watching the game.

Zheng Yubai was planning to take everyone away, but when he saw his father and aunt still waiting for the next game with great interest, he swallowed his words. Just as he was planning to watch the remaining two games peacefully and observe Sun Haitong's strength, the text message notification sounded on his mobile phone, indicating that he had an incoming text message.

I took out my phone and saw only four words on the screen.

"The target appears."

The number of the message was hidden, but Zheng Yubai knew it must be from Leng Tie. He used the excuse of going to the bathroom, went out, found a secluded place and dialed Leng Tie's number.

“Uncle Leng, have they shown up?”

"They set up an ambush at the Rongwei Building near the gymnasium and used sniper rifles. They were willing to spend a lot of money." Leng Tie said, "If you are not prepared, you will most likely be shot and killed by them from a thousand meters away."

"What are you going to do?" The other party finally showed up, and Zheng Yubai felt relieved. It was time to solve the trouble they had caused.

"My people have already controlled the area around Rongwei Building. It's impossible for them to escape. But if we attack by force, there will probably be casualties. I'm arranging manpower..." Leng Tie said.

"No need for that." Zheng Yubai said, "You hold the line, and I will take care of these people."

"This is too risky." Leng Tie hesitated and did not dare to agree. After all, Zheng Yubai was the son of an old friend. Although he had an amazing talent, his opponents were the three killing machines of the Asian Killer Group who killed people without blinking an eye. Even if the Special Affairs Management Bureau wanted to encircle and suppress them, they would have to think hard, not to mention that Zheng Yubai was alone.

"They occupy the rooftop. Even if your people can attack, there will be casualties, and there is no guarantee that they can be captured alive. If there are no survivors, even if you hand over the bodies to the FBI, will they easily admit it?" Zheng Yubai said.

Leng Tie knew this truth. If a killer of XYZ's level was exposed, he would never be captured alive. They would rather commit suicide than reveal their clients' secrets. And it was too difficult to capture them alive in the current situation.

"Don't worry, Uncle Leng. If you follow my method, we will definitely capture him alive." Zheng Yubai whispered his plan and hung up the phone.

Back in the box, Zheng Yubai made an excuse, saying that he had to confirm the next game time with the organizing committee, and then left. As soon as he left, he headed straight for the back door of the gymnasium.

Rongwei Building is facing the front door of the gymnasium. On the roof of the building, an M99 sniper rifle is steadily set up, and the front door of the gymnasium can be seen clearly through the scope. Y is leaning over the sniper rifle, concentrating on adjusting the aiming parameters. He has to make fine adjustments from time to time according to the wind direction and wind speed so that he can hit the target with one shot.

X and Z stood aside, observing the surrounding situation with binoculars. Yao Qian entrusted them to kill Zheng Yubai this time, offering a price of 5 million yuan. Although it was half of the previous reward, it was still a big deal. The three remembered that Zheng Yubai escaped last time, so they set up this ambush, aiming to kill him in one shot without making any noise.

As long as Zheng Yubai comes out of the front door of the gymnasium, he will face the bullets fired by Y from the M99, which never miss a single shot.

After Zheng Yubai came out of the back door, Leng Tie's subordinates came up to him and handed him a set of courier's clothes and a motorcycle. Zheng Yubai put on the courier's uniform and got on the motorcycle, and he was a courier. He put on a shoulder bag, turned the accelerator, and the motorcycle went around the back door of the gymnasium and headed straight for Rongwei Building.

Although X and Z were observing their every move, a courier really didn't attract their attention. Zheng Yubai quietly avoided their sight and entered the Rongwei Building. The agent who had been waiting here took him into the elevator and went all the way to the top floor, the 28th floor.

"They are up there, but I advise you not to go up through this door." Leng Tie personally sat on the 28th floor to cooperate with Zheng Yubai's plan.

Zheng Yubai smiled and said, "Of course I won't go through the door. I'll climb up through the window." Then he walked to the side away from where XYZ and the other two were, opened the window, looked up at the situation above and below, and without waiting for the safety rope suggested by Leng Tie to arrive, he leaned out of the window, grabbed the water pipe on the wall, and hung his whole body in the air, clinging to the wall like a gecko.

Leng Tie looked in astonishment at Zheng Yubai performing this thrilling move without any safety measures on the wall of a 28-story building, and felt dizzy.

Before he could remind Zheng Yubai to be careful, Zheng Yubai had already climbed up. The eaves-flying technique he learned from Xie Chunlai played a wonderful role in this situation. Zheng Yubai's agility was comparable to Spider-Man in the movie. In just a moment, he used the drainage pipe to climb to the roof.

On the other side of the roof, XYZ and the other two were nervously waiting for Zheng Yubai to appear, not realizing that the target they were expecting was behind them. (To be continued)
