Chapter 185: Determining Superiority and Deciding Life and Death

Both sides were in position, and Tang Ying walked to the center of the arena as the host.

"Do both sides have anything else to say? If not, we can begin."

Tang Ying said.

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Fengye stood up at this moment, walked slowly toward the arena, looked at Chen Che with an arrogant gaze, and said: "Chen Che, since we are going to fight, let's just be direct.

You are the boss of the Qibao Association, and I am the boss of the Red Leaf Club. How about we two fight, and a single battle decides the outcome?"

Whoosh!

Bai Fengye's words instantly caused an uproar throughout the venue.

Whether it was the people present or those watching via the live stream, everyone was stunned.

Bai Fengye was an ordinary person, while Chen Che was a Martial Artist; even if Bai Fengye were stronger, it would be impossible for him to beat Chen Che.

Then what did he mean by saying this?

The same question filled everyone's hearts.

Chen Che was also slightly surprised; he narrowed his eyes and replied: "No problem."

"Very good."

Bai Fengye smiled with satisfaction: "Of course, there are some things that need to be made clear before we fight.

If I win, the Jinling branch of the Qibao Association and the Shanghai headquarters of the Qibao Association will all be transferred to my name.

If I lose, all the businesses under my name will belong to you. How about that?"

"Fair," Chen Che replied.

"But besides that, I want one more thing."

Bai Fengye changed his tone, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, "We will decide the outcome in one battle, a life-and-death struggle; we shall determine who is superior and also decide who lives and who dies! The one other thing I want is your head."

Whoosh!

Bai Fengye's words caused another huge commotion; everyone's expression changed, and they looked at Bai Fengye in disbelief.

The doubt in their hearts grew even stronger!

Chen Che narrowed his eyes and probed: "The stakes are fine, but I want to know, how do you dare to say such a thing?"

Bai Fengye smiled meaningfully and said: "I know what you are doubting; of course, as an ordinary person, I cannot beat you, a Martial Artist.

But the rules of a Gambling Battle are fair. If an ordinary person wants to fight a Martial Artist, the Martial Artist must wear a Collar from the Justice Inspection Department to restrict their True Qi and become an ordinary person."

Chen Che revealed a faint, imperceptible smile; so that was what he was planning!

"That is very fair; I have no objections."

Chen Che smiled: "It just so happens that your head is also something I want."

"Have both sides decided?"

Although Tang Ying asked this, she looked at Chen Che with a face full of worry and dissuasion.

Chen Che was a Martial Artist, and his body had long been tempered by True Qi; even if he wore the Collar to restrict his True Qi, the strength of his body was not something Bai Fengye could compare to.

Therefore, on the surface, Bai Fengye had no possibility of winning at all!

Yet Bai Fengye still proposed such a request and looked so confident; this clearly meant there was a trap!

However,

Chen Che ignored Tang Ying's dissuasive gaze and said: "I have no problem."

"Neither do I."

Bai Fengye also answered with a smile.

"Fine, then... then go get the Collar!"

Tang Ying looked annoyed and glared at Chen Che, but she had to follow the rules and took out the Collar.

"Damn! A single battle to decide the outcome, so exciting; coming here today was definitely worth it!"

"Determining who is superior and deciding life and death; it seems Bai Fengye is determined to have Chen Che die!"

"The boss of this Qibao Association isn't very bright, is he? He doesn't think that just because he's a Martial Artist, he can't lose even if his True Qi is restricted, right?"

"If that's really the case, then he's dead for sure! This Bai Fengye has always been full of tricks; if he dares to do this, he must have foolproof preparations!"

Seeing the scene, the audience all whispered to each other, expressing regret and pity for Chen Che's decision, as if Chen Che were already a dead man before the fight even started.

Hearing the audience's pessimistic comments, Ma Menghan was very worried; she turned to look at Ma Zijun and said tremblingly: "Brother..."

Ma Zijun patted her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, Chen Che is not a fool; he won't lose."

Ma Menghan nodded, but the heart hanging in her chest could not be put down; she turned back and stared at the big screen with a face full of anticipation and anxiety.

Ma Zijun and Lin Su also looked at the big screen, narrowing their eyes, the same question and anticipation in their hearts: "Chen Che, what are you thinking? And what will you do?"

Huang Feng and Ma Ziai, who were also in the audience, showed joyful smiles, as if they were celebrating Chen Che's death in advance.

"He actually dared to agree; it seems he really is just a reckless brute who relies on force and looks down on everyone!"

Ma Ziai sneered, gazing at Chen Che in the arena.

Huang Feng crossed his arms, wearing the expression of a fisherman waiting to reel in his catch, and mocked: "His arrogance has doomed him to destruction!"

In the arena.

Fan Hao was very proactive and personally brought the Collar back, intending to put it on Chen Che, but was stopped by Tang Ying.

"Are you sure?"

Tang Ying looked at Chen Che again with a dissuasive gaze and asked.

Chen Che saw the worry in her eyes and responded with a smile: "I am sure."

Tang Ying frowned, feeling extremely annoyed, thinking to herself, why is this person so unwilling to listen to advice?!

Is it arrogance?! Or is he truly stupid?!

No matter which one it is, even if you look handsome, I will never want to pursue you again!

"Sigh~~"

Tang Ying sighed, thinking to herself: Forget it, since you are so conceited and foolish, I will help you keep an eye on Bai Fengye today to ensure he doesn't cheat, but after this, we will just be business partners.

Tang Ying walked off the arena, and Fan Hao couldn't wait to put the Collar on Chen Che, pressing the activation button without hesitation.

In an instant, dense, tiny needles protruded from the inside of the Collar, piercing into Chen Che's neck.

They didn't pierce deep, just enough for the needle tips to break the skin, but what followed was a faint electric current that burrowed into his flesh along with the needles.

The True Qi carried by the electric current entered along with it, instantly rushing to every Acupoint in his body, forcefully blocking the circulation of his True Qi.

The moment the Collar was activated, Chen Che couldn't help but sway, dropping to one knee; he shook his head and took a good while to adjust.

With a gloating and contemptuous smile on his face, Fan Hao walked off the arena platform to quietly watch Chen Che's impending death.

"Everything is ready, you may begin."

Tang Ying observed Chen Che's state, pondered for a moment, and announced that the Gambling Battle had officially begun.

However, Chen Che was still soothing the discomfort brought on by the Collar and did not hear Tang Ying's words.

He only felt that the cells throughout his entire body were tingling, and two forces within him were clashing violently, as if they were about to explode at his Acupoints.

"Tap-tap-tap-tap!"

The sound of rapid footsteps entered his ears, and Chen Che jolted, instantly regaining his senses; he looked up only to find that Bai Fengye had already rushed before him, raising his fist to smash down at his head.

Chen Che reacted quickly, pushing off with his feet and rolling away.

"Tap!"

After Chen Che steadied himself and was about to counterattack, Bai Fengye snapped his fingers at this very moment.

Suddenly, a stabbing pain from the inside out swept through Chen Che's entire body, causing his whole frame to instantly go limp.

Bai Fengye gave a ferocious grin, seized the opportunity, and swung a fist into Chen Che's face.

"Boom!"

Chen Che tilted backward abruptly and fell to the ground.

Bai Fengye grinned ferociously as he rushed up, mounted Chen Che, and rained down punches like a storm!

"Aren't you arrogant? Killing my men, smashing my place, and even hitting me!! Fight back! Come on, keep hitting me!"

Bai Fengye's expression was manic as he attacked Chen Che's face without mercy.

A Martial Artist's body has high durability; even if Bai Fengye tried his hardest, he could not kill Chen Che with his bare hands.

But this situation of being mounted and beaten was more insulting than it was damaging!

"What's going on? Why isn't Chen Che fighting back?"

"That makes no sense! Even if his True Qi is restricted, it's impossible for him to be unable to move, right?"

"Could it be... that Bai Fengye did something?"

Thinking of this, the audience stands fell into silence. Bai Fengye must have done something, but one couldn't just say such things without evidence.

The spectators all shut their mouths, staring fixedly at the situation on the arena; the desire to watch the spectacle took hold, and they looked forward to an even more exciting reversal.

"What do I do? What do I do?!"

Ma Menghan shouted in anxiety; if it weren't for her broken leg being in a cast, she would have already been unable to resist flying down to protect Chen Che.

Ma Zijun did not offer words of comfort this time, but instead placed a hand on her shoulder while frowning, staring intently at the big screen.

Lin Su also kept her gaze fixed firmly on the screen, while silently gathering True Qi beneath her feet, prepared to fly over and save him.
