Chapter 329: The Betting Duel
The sullen-faced young man resumed his intimate interaction with the long-legged beauty.
Though his mind wasn’t always the brightest, he still had keen eyesight. Upon seeing Lu Chenbing, who could make the whole Zhonghai City tremble with a stomp of his foot, sitting next to Xu Fan, he immediately dared not to act rashly and decided to investigate the youngster’s background first.
Xu Fan’s brows knit slightly, vaguely feeling as if someone had scrutinized him. He looked up and glanced around, but ultimately, he discovered nothing.
He didn’t take it to heart though, for that gaze posed no threat to him. If a Martial Arts Grandmaster were observing him, Xu Fan would have immediately become alert and would have swiftly identified the person in the crowd.
This was the sixth sense of a powerful being!
Xu Fan was approaching ring number 2, where two fighters had just determined the winner and loser.
The one left standing, naturally receiving the cheers, couldn’t conceal their fatigue, for their opponent was no pushover to be casually handled.
And the defeated fighter lay gasping on the ground, unable to get up, convulsing and spitting out mouthfuls of blood before being carried away by the staff.
He should be grateful for the lucky break that saved his life.
Actually, this was also related to the size of the bets on the match. For fighters of comparable strength and not so prominent reputation, the interest in betting was naturally not that great. At that time, there was no need to fight to the death, as fighters weren’t brought in by the wind; it was better not to kill them if possible, so they could be used again.
Several staff members immediately climbed onto ring number 2 and began swiftly washing, dragging, and drying the blood stains on the platform.
A few minutes later, a new boxing match began in ring number 2.
The first fighter to enter the ring was a burly man nearly 1.9 meters tall, with thick arm muscles bulging like the width of a bowl, filling the air with a sense of oppression as though he could punch a bull into the sky.
As soon as the muscular man appeared, he twisted his body, and immediately a series of crisp popping sounds of joints rang out endlessly.
Many spectators immediately had their emotions ignited, erupting into frantic shouts and cheers.
“Yaa, yaa, yaa, it’s the Bull Demon!”
“Wow, the Bull Demon is stepping up to fight, can’t wait.”
“What’s the deal, is this Bull Demon really that awesome?” many people curiously asked.
“Hehe, brother, is this your first time here? Not knowing the name of the Bull Demon, that’s really lame. The Bull Demon has fought twenty-one bouts, winning them all without exception, and the outcomes for his opponents are quite tragic – either dead or beaten into a vegetative state. If you’re interested, you can visit the Second Hospital to see the five who were turned into vegetables by the Bull Demon.”
“That’s so brutal!” Upon learning this, the listeners gasped in shock, finding it utterly horrifying.
Amidst the cheers of countless spectators, the Bull Demon ascended the ring, facing all directions, and pounded his muscular chest to show off his prowess.
At this moment, the opponent of the Bull Demon appeared.
It was a rather slim and toned man with handsome, well-defined facial features, qualifying as good-looking, but he was very average in height, a good half head shorter than the Bull Demon, and likely didn’t even weigh half as much.
However, knowing that his opponent was the Bull Demon, this young man named Zhou Yin walked at a steady pace, exuding an air of calm and fearlessness.
Zhou Yin quickly took to the stage as well, and the referee stood between the two, holding a megaphone as he spoke:
“Ladies and gentlemen. Let me give you a brief introduction. To my right, a famous fighter from our Fist Manor, the Bull Demon, who has fought 21 matches and has yet to be defeated. And to my left, this fighter’s name is Zhou Xian, and he has fought four matches. The odds for Bull Demon VS Zhou Xian are 1 to 15; we will now give everyone 10 minutes to place their bets.”
Having said that, the referee descended from the ring, and outside, the staff immediately locked the iron door.
Now both fighters were on standby, with the option to rest or show off their prowess to the audience.
The audience, meanwhile, was abuzz with discussion. Although the vast majority believed in the Bull Demon’s strength and were confident he would win, there were a few cautious gamblers who wanted to inquire about Zhou Yin’s fighting record.
“Uncle Lu, how about we play a bet on this match?” Yue Qingjiang, with a grin on his face, pulled out the key to the latest model of a Benz.
Lu Chenbing looked at Yue Qingjiang somewhat helplessly. He had a favorable impression of this outstanding member of the Yue Family, so he smiled slightly and agreed.
“Alright then, let’s have a little wager.” Saying this, he also took out a key to the latest model BMW.
Although both cars were priced over a million and considered top luxury cars for the common people, to Lu Chenbing and Yue Qingjiang, it was merely a light wager, nothing too serious.
“Uncle Lu is as straightforward as ever,” Yue Qingjiang chuckled, “then I won’t be polite. I’ll bet on the Bull Demon to win.”
“It seems I only have the option to bet on his opponent, then,” Lu Chenbing said with a resigned smile, not minding that the other took the obvious advantage.
“Toot!”
Following the referee’s sharp whistle, the two figures on the stage instantly sprang into action.
With a slight impact of his fist and a hearty laugh, the Bull Demon took two steps as if they were three and charged forward, while Zhou Yin assumed an ordinary martial arts starting stance, concentrating and waiting for his opponent to close in.
“Kid, sorry about this, but grandpa is sending you to heaven tonight!”
The Bull Demon bellowed, his fist seemingly carrying a hint of a sonic boom as he swung it mercilessly, giving the impression he could knock down a bull with a single punch.
At this moment, the crowd outside erupted into an excited, chaotic cheer: “Bull Demon, beat him to death, beat him to death, haha, knock him down with one punch!”
Facing this formidable punch, Zhou Yin remained calm, dodged swiftly to one side, and quickly avoided the fierce strike.
“Kid, you dare to dodge?” The Bull Demon was slightly surprised when his punch missed.
“Why the hell do you talk so much?” Zhou Yin finally spoke, and his first words instantly ignited a raging fury in the Bull Demon, turning his eyes bloodshot.
“Kid, give me your life!” The Bull Demon went berserk, and his thick fists flew out like a storm.
Zhou Yin’s expression changed, growing more solemn. He did not intend to take on even a single punch from the Bull Demon head-on. His figure moved agilely, hopping and dodging like a rabbit. Only when he couldn’t avoid did he force himself to block a punch and then use the momentum to evade.
Seeing this, Xu Fan’s eyes brightened involuntarily, and he couldn’t help but nod his head.
The performance of the fighter, Zhou Yin, although he was on the defensive, was orderly and not chaotic. Facing the Bull Demon’s cannonball-like punches, he still managed to remain unscathed, displaying some real skill.
“Roar! Kid, is dodging all you can do?” The Bull Demon, frustrated by his unsuccessful assault, couldn’t help but roar out loud.
