Chapter 303: Completely Impossible to Defend Against
Then, those nobles that were insulted before by Xu Cheng came into the arena, one after another. Terry, Jenkins, and the others all found seats and sat down to watch Xu Cheng.
In order to cheer Kalan on, Terry announced on the spot, “If Earl Kalan wins, I will create a bronze statue for him to commemorate this day, and also at the same time warn the other nations to not underestimate the masters here in Britain!”
The crowd immediately applauded, thinking that Terry was very generous.
Kalan’s eyes lit up. Having a bronze statue meant his name could actually pass down for ages, and he was obviously very tempted! Besides, this Xu Cheng guy indeed insulted the nobles at the Platinum palace, and with that as the background story, if Kalan could defeat Xu Cheng today, he could definitely boast for the rest of his life. He wouldn’t be a lesser known legend than Yip Man, and there may even be movies made about him. Damn, he was getting a bit hard just thinking about it.
He really felt like he could very soon rise to the next level and reach the peak of life and then marry a pretty girl with an awesome background.
Xu Cheng looked at the boiling crowd and grinned. “Really? I’m not really a big character, why does it look like everyone wants to kill me.”
Kalan: “You don’t know how much you infuriated them by insulting the Queen yet? Besides, you also took away the Rose of Britain. It would be weird if people didn’t hate you.”
Xu Cheng looked at him. “How do you want to play?”
Kalan scanned the crowd and said, “You see as well, so many people came, so the fight is happening for sure, and it’s not going to be one where one guy just simply knocks the other one out. Do you know what I mean?”
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes. “Death match?”
Kalan nodded. He immediately shouted at the audience, “Don’t you all want to see a traditional death match?”
The so-called death match was basically where one side was allowed to leave only after the other side was dead!
Everyone raised their fists and began chanting, “Death match! Death match!”
Lin Chuxue’s face immediately changed as she wanted to get up and go to Xu Cheng, but she was pulled back by Lin Lei.
“Sis, you won’t be able to drag my brother-in-law away. Didn’t you see, this was already planned by Kalan. He purposely hyped up this whole match, and what happened at Platinum Palace was also spread out by the media to incite the masses. Otherwise, why do you think so many people came to watch?”
Lin Chuxue finally felt something was off.
Lin Lei continued, “Now, the patriotic side of the masses has already been ignited, and the only way to calm them down is seeing Kalan kill Brother-in-law. Now, if Brother-in-law were to try to leave, the audience wouldn’t let him.”
Lin Chuxue looked at Terry and the others in the VIP rooms with glass windows, and she quietly said, “Those few are probably also a part of this, right?”
“Of course,” Lin Lei snorted. “Those guys all think that their sons’ deaths has something to do with Brother-in-law, but they couldn’t find any evidence nor dare do anything out of line to him. After all, with my brother-in-law’s identity, they are also scared of causing diplomatic disputes. Therefore, they found a tool, a “hero”. Kalan’s a martial artist, Xu Cheng’s also one, so a duel between the two wouldn’t cause any problems.”
Lin Chuxue finally realized. “No wonder, I was just thinking why a challenger showed up so fast. It turns out that these guys knew Xu Cheng’s going back to Huaxia. So despicable!”
Lin Lei said nonchalantly, “I believe that my brother-in-law can beat him!”
On the stage, Kalan began to warm up.
He warmed up as he said, “I know you are injured, and I admire you for daring to show up despite your injury.”
Xu Cheng: “Why do you have to be like this? Is fame really that important to you?”
Kalan: “Of course. Soldiers will eventually retire, and by then, are you going to live off of welfare? What future is there to being a soldier? There’s not going to be wars in this kind of era. As someone without a background, I might as well use this time to brand myself. Don’t you know that the western community emphasize individualism?”
Xu Cheng: “I only know that if you practice martial arts just for show, then you are insulting it.”
Kalan sneered. “You aren’t in the place to comment. You will have to see when we fight.”
Xu Cheng took off his coat and threw it to the side. “Alright, you wanting to brand yourself is your own business, and I can’t control it. But since you are using me, then I will teach you a lesson today or it will be an insult to my profession as a soldier. Even if today wasn’t a death match, I will still kill you. You said we are fake? Then today, I will show you what’s absolute strength. You insulted my comrades, so it wouldn’t be nice if I didn’t return the favor.”
Kalan gestured for him to come at him. “You are getting angry? Then come on, I’m just scared that you won’t be able to get up after the first few rounds. Let me tell you how I humiliated your comrades. I told him that your five-thousand-years worth of culture is basically dogsh-t!”
A hint of murderous intent flashed past Xu Cheng’s eyes, and the atmosphere immediately tensed up.
Ye Xiu and the others all sat up straight. “They are about to start!”
Xu Cheng looked at Kalan and said, “How many rounds did you have with my comrade?”
Kalan laughed. “30 attacks! What is it? You think you can beat me within 30? Xu Cheng, I already heard about how you beat over a hundred royal guards by yourself. I admit, I won’t be able to do that at all. However, don’t you think you are daydreaming to think that you can beat me within 30 attacks? You really think I’m garbage like those royal guards? I can beat those guys with one attack too, so it doesn’t surprise me that much that you could beat them.”
“30 attacks?” Xu Cheng sneered and looked at him scornfully. “30 attacks is overestimating you. To deal with people like you, it would be an insult even if I use 2 attacks! In my eyes, you are no different than those pieces of garbage at the palace that only know how to use their mouths. One strike is enough, that’s my evaluation of your strength. That’s all.”
Kalan was immediately furious. “You are courting death!”
Then, he shot himself towards Xu Cheng like the wind.
“So fast,” Wang An commented.
Tie Shi also praised, “Just that speed and explosive power, Ye Xiu, it’s not humiliating that you lost to him.”
Ye Xiu: “I don’t know how many attacks this guy can hold against Old Xu.”
Bagh: “At least a couple exchanges of attacks. As long as Xu Cheng doesn’t use his cannonball punch. If he does, then usually people would be KOed before even knowing what hit them.”
Daoba Li: “Yeah, I had the most experience of it. My rib injury is still not fully healed yet.”
The other guys all laughed. It was already spread that Daoba Li eliminated Xu Cheng twice in a row in previous years, and this year, it was said that the one that got beat up the hardest was Daoba Li. He was almost scrapped by Xu Cheng.
“Yeah, that sh-t is just impossible to defend against.”
