Chapter 33: The Fight (Seeking Recommendations)
“Hmm? Something’s wrong…”
Fang Xing walked through the ruins of the old city district, his heart suddenly pounding.
He abruptly turned around and saw a dark figure at the end of his vision, chasing after him!
The opponent was extremely fast, with astonishing movements.
“It’s a Jadeite Level martial artist, a Federation Jadeite Level martial artist, whose combat power definitely surpasses that of an innate martial artist!”
“Not only that, he’s also wearing a set of nano-protective suit!”
Fang Xing’s gaze fell on the opponent’s nano-protective suit, then moved upward to see a face with a high nose bridge and triangular eyes.
“I can’t win… and since he’s chasing me, he must have bad intentions!”
With this thought, he reached into his pocket and secretly tore open a ‘Wind-Riding Talisman’!
The next moment!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A gust of wind stirred, swirling around him, making him feel that the air resistance instantly decreased by half!
He leaped lightly, and his entire body seemed to defy gravity, soaring over twenty meters in a single bound!
“Damn…”
‘Carrion Eater’ Lance saw this scene and immediately widened his eyes: “I didn’t expect him to be a wind-type ability user… then again, without a few amazing skills, how dare he come to the black market?”
To outsiders, Fang Xing secretly tearing open talismans appeared as if he were a wind-type ability user!
He didn’t dare to be careless and quickly accelerated.
After escaping a long distance, he ducked into a building and applied two more talismans to himself.
— ‘Silence Talisman’!
— ‘Invisibility Talisman’!
Soon, he saw Lance chasing after him, firmly remembering the pursuer’s appearance.
Then, he saw Lance calling a group of rats, seemingly having them search for something.
Unfortunately, these rats couldn’t discover Fang Xing’s trace.
“White male, triangular eyes, can control small animals… I remember you.”
Fang Xing gritted his teeth silently.
Right now, he might not be a match for him, but appearances can be deceiving.
For him, becoming stronger wouldn’t take long.
At that time, he would definitely avenge today’s humiliation!
…
Two days later.
Night.
Fang Xing came to the old city district again.
There was no way around it… he had already paid, so he had to come.
Moreover, this time he was a guest, and the Blood Cage Fighting Arena should have made arrangements.
At the boundary between the old and new city districts, an already abandoned bus stop.
When Fang Xing arrived, he found that many people were already standing there, most of them white-collar workers and small businessmen who looked somewhat excited…
Beep beep!
Suddenly, accompanied by an ancient car horn, a yellow bus drove over.
This old antique had obviously been modified; iron bars were welded onto the windows, and barbed wire was added to the edges.
It looked a bit like a prisoner transport vehicle.
Clang…
The bus stopped at the bus stop, and the door swung open, revealing a middle-aged man in a black suit.
He wore sunglasses and had a formulaic smile on his face: “Guests, good evening. I am the Blood Cage Fighting Arena’s client manager. Now, please get on the bus and head to the fighting arena to enjoy a thrilling night… This bus requires tickets to board, and after the fight ends, we will safely return you here… Of course, if you leave the fighting arena on your own, you will be outside of our protection…”
After making the rules clear, he waved his hand: “Get on!”
A young man with yellow hair immediately stepped forward, showed his purchased fighting arena ticket, and got on the bus smoothly.
Seeing this, the other passengers also stepped forward.
Fang Xing silently observed, standing in the middle of the line.
After getting on the bus, he randomly chose a seat and found that the person sitting next to him was the yellow-haired young man.
“Is this the black market district?”
After the car started, the yellow-haired youth looked around excitedly: “I’ve always wanted to come and see it… I heard that the nightlife here is particularly exciting!”
“Yeah, exciting enough to almost cost you your life…”
Thinking of the chase two days ago, Fang Xing’s expression was a little unpleasant as he interjected.
Of course, now he was a guest of the fighting arena, protected by the fighting arena; even if they gave that attacker ten more lives, they wouldn’t dare to come and rob him.
The Blood Cage Fighting Arena could have such a great reputation and monopolize the nearby black boxing market, naturally because it had a powerful background, and wasn’t a pushover.
“Is that so?”
Hearing Fang Xing’s words, the yellow-haired youth seemed even more excited: “My name is Hao Chi, what’s yours?”
“When I’m out and about, I never use my real name.”
Fang Xing closed his eyes, silently waiting.
…
The Blood Cage Fighting Arena.
Compared to the daytime, the Blood Cage Fighting Arena now seemed to have come completely ‘alive,’ with colorful neon lights flashing everywhere, and countless figures gathering.
Bunnies and catgirls walked among them, holding trays with various gambling chips and alcoholic beverages.
In the center of what was originally a stadium, it had been transformed into a huge fighting ring.
Around the ring was a monstrous-looking iron cage, covered in rust, and some places even had bits of flesh and bloodstains.
A primitive, barbaric, bloody aura rushed towards the face.
However, the surrounding audience seemed to have their ancient wild instincts ignited, and their voices were three times louder.
“Iron Hand’s fight is at nine o’clock…”
Fang Xing held a glass of juice, rejected the catgirl’s offer to place a bet, and silently observed from outside the iron cage.
“Good evening, everyone, welcome to the Blood Cage Fighting Arena!”
At this moment, many spotlights focused on the ring, and a master of ceremonies wearing a white suit and a blood-red rose pinned to his chest appeared.
His expression was excited, his voice like thunder, shaking the eardrums of the audience.
‘Good heavens… at least a Jadeite Level martial artist, and he’s also cultivated a ‘Lion’s Roar’ type martial art!’
Fang Xing rubbed his ears and heard the master of ceremonies continue: “First up are ‘Fiery Flame’ and ‘Killer Crocodile,’ come on, use blood to please us!”
As soon as the words fell, the two sides of the iron cage opened, and a boxer entered each.
‘Fiery Flame’ wore a red cloak and had bandages wrapped around his fists; he looked lean and wiry.
‘Killer Crocodile’ was a two-meter-tall black man with dreadlocks and various tattoos and piercings all over his body.
“The fight begins!”
With the master of ceremonies’ shout, the two sides of the iron cage directly closed.
Then, Fiery Flame threw off his cloak and violently collided with Killer Crocodile.
Punches, kicks, elbows… the two figures seemed to transform into killing machines, every part of their bodies potentially hiding terrifying killing intent.
“They aren’t very strong, both around the second realm, but their actual combat experience far surpasses mine… If equipment isn’t allowed, I might not be able to win…”
Fang Xing watched with a very serious expression.
Bang!
At this moment, he saw Fiery Flame bring both fists together, using a double-peak piercing ears strike, hitting Killer Crocodile squarely on the temples.
This punch was clearly extremely heavy; the Killer Crocodile, who was like a small giant, fell to the ground and couldn’t get up for a long time.
“In a true life-or-death duel, the victor is decided in just a few moves…”
Fang Xing saw this scene and felt he had learned a lot.
“Congratulations, Fiery Flame wins this fight… Next, it’s the audience’s choice, whether to kill Killer Crocodile or not?”
The master of ceremonies stood at the edge of the iron cage, his expression becoming even more frenzied: “Those who support killing Killer Crocodile, please raise your right hand!”
“Kill him!”
“Kill this piece of shit, he made me lose a lot of money!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
…
Almost as soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, most people raised their right hands, clenched their fists, and looked frenzied.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
Amidst the roars of the many spectators, Fiery Flame did not hesitate; he grabbed Killer Crocodile’s head and forcefully twisted it.
Crack!
Amidst the ear-piercing sound of broken bones, Killer Crocodile’s corpse heavily fell to the ground.
Fang Xing, however, fell silent.
‘Damn it, back then, Liu Wei and I were almost swayed by the generous reward, and were ready to become black market boxers…’
‘With our strength back then, we would definitely be one-round losers, and might even be abused for entertainment…’
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate about the original owner’s choice.
Next, several more fights took place.
Bloody, brutal…
There were also various strange martial arts and moves, making Fang Xing open his eyes wide.
“Next, it’s the most exciting part of tonight’s fighting competition!”
The master of ceremonies loosened his tie, looking very excited: “Let’s invite… ‘Iron Hand,’ and ‘Armor King’!”
“Ooh ooh!”
Everyone in the audience cheered together, as if the two who were about to go on stage were two superstars.
“Iron Hand, finally appearing.”
Fang Xing’s expression changed, and he looked at the iron cage fighting arena.
On the west side of the fighting arena, a muscular martial artist slowly entered.
His upper body was bare, revealing his lean muscles, especially his right arm, which was a mechanical arm full of science fiction and steel!
“Mechanical Martial Artist, this ‘Iron Hand,’ is actually a ‘Mechanical Martial Artist’?”
Seeing this, Fang Xing mused.
‘Mechanical Martial Artists’ were a small branch of martial artists; martial artists in this system deeply felt the weakness of flesh and blood, so they liked to use various mechanical prosthetics to replace their limbs, and even their eyes, ears, and internal organs…
They were all half-cyborgs, and the advantages of the system were obvious. As long as they had money, in the early stages, they could crush ordinary martial artists!
Of course, the later stages were a bit more difficult to say, after all, the more organs they replaced, the closer they became to robots.
But the Federation could manufacture robots themselves, so why would they need this half-modified type, with many weaknesses?
As for the ‘Armor King,’ he should be an ability user, with the defensive ability ‘Iron Skin’!
“Although these two are only at the Jadeite realm, their respective enhancements are very powerful, and their strength is extremely strong; there will be a good show.”
Fang Xing put down his juice cup and focused intently on the arena.
As if influenced by the aura of these two powerful fighters, the Blood Cage Fighting Arena, which had been bustling, became quiet.
Many people felt a little stuffy and could hardly breathe.
“The ‘momentum’ of a master?”
Fang Xing had a sudden realization, then he heard a loud bang!
In the arena, Armor King made the first move!
He roared, transforming into a steel giant, and pounced towards Iron Hand!
