"How did you end up like this?" Jin Zhengming shook his head with a bitter smile.
But his expression didn’t show any regret, rather it seed sowhat gloating.
Yuan Huai rely smiled and then looked at Jin Zhengming, saying, "It’s too late to change now, you better leave quickly."
Suddenly, Jin Zhengming looked up and laughed loudly, "Alright, alright, since you’ve said that, I’ll give you this courtesy. I won’t pursue others, as long as Xiang Yu can withstand three of my moves, I’ll let him go."
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhuzi stuck his iron stick there and laughed heartily.
"Another poser, three moves, you think this is a martial arts novel, huh?" Tie Zhuzi mumbled quietly.
Soone had said sothing similar before, only to be beaten by Xiang Yu until they didn’t recognize their own mother.
"Are you not convinced?" Jin Zhengming heard Tie Zhuzi’s words and then turned to look at him.
Tie Zhuzi knew the other was formidable, thus he quickly shut his mouth. Just judging by the trick with the thrown water cup, he could tell the man was no simple character.
Seeing Tie Zhuzi stop speaking, Jin Zhengming turned back to Yuan Huai, "I’ve already given you a lot of face."
Yuan Huai also nodded, "Thanks, just a reminder, don’t underestimate him."
With that said, Yuan Huai paid Jin Zhengming no mind, then approached Tie Zhuzi, chuckling, "Got any wine left?"
Seeing this guy was also counted as a great contributor, Tie Zhuzi nodded and went to get wine for Yuan Huai.
"If you want to fight, co with outside." After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he led the way outside.
"Hall Master, there’s no need for you to handle this, let take care of it." The Vice Hall Master, Wu Jinlong, said as he tugged on Jin Zhengming, and then headed outside.
The others followed behind; they wanted to see how formidable Xiang Yu truly was.
Jin Zhengming was particularly curious about Xiang Yu, as it was rare to hear Yuan Huai praise soone like him.
Back in the day, Yuan Huai was unmatched in the Hong Sect, his skills undefeated, and he was designated as the next Sect Leader successor.
There were many excellent people in that batch, but Yuan Huai’s brilliance overshadowed everyone else.
Jin Zhengming was among them, his skills equally great and very strategic, but still lacking compared to Yuan Huai.
Seeing Yuan Huai like this now, he felt both regret and an indescribable exhilaration deep inside.
Everyone stepped onto the open ground outside, and Tie Zhuzi ca out holding his cudgel.
He was very tall, combined with the iron stick, it made him look like a temple guardian.
Yuan Huai leaned against sothing with a drink in hand, his face expressionless, lost in the wonders of his own world.
The Vice Hall Master of the Golden Hand Hall, Wu Jinlong, had seen Xiang Yu in action; he knew Xiang Yu was formidable, but his own skills weren’t bad either.
Last ti, he wanted to challenge Xiang Yu, but his brothers wouldn’t let him, now with the Hall Master behind him, he wanted to show off properly.
"Xiang Yu, show all your skills, don’t make underestimate you," Wu Jinlong said.
Jin Zhengming stood aside, not stopping Wu Jinlong; he also wanted to see what Xiang Yu was capable of.
Jin Zhengming was a cautious person; although skilled, he wouldn’t act rashly without assurance of victory.
If Xiang Yu’s skills were inferior to Wu Jinlong, there’d be no need for him to intervene. If Xiang Yu’s skills were good, he could find Xiang Yu’s weaknesses.
"You’re not my opponent; just let him handle it," Xiang Yu said straightforwardly.
Wu Jinlong, infuriated, gritted his teeth; they hadn’t even fought yet, and Xiang Yu was already belittling him.
"Whether I’m your opponent, we’ll see after fighting," Wu Jinlong said, then charged at Xiang Yu with his fist.
Leaning against the wall, Yuan Huai sipped his drink, a hint of disdain flashed in his eye but was quickly overshadowed by his dazed expression.
Wu Jinlong aid a punch at Xiang Yu’s head, but Xiang Yu leaped backward to dodge.
Xiang Yu had no intention of striking; he kept evading the punches. Wu Jinlong’s punches seed powerful and fast but couldn’t touch Xiang Yu at all.
"Is dodging all you can do? If you have the guts, fight properly," Wu Jinlong shouted.
Admittedly, Xiang Yu’s evasive speed was quite fast.
"Why don’t you step back? I don’t wish to hurt you," Xiang Yu said calmly.
Xiang Yu’s words struck Wu Jinlong hard; he was the Vice Hall Master, with so many brothers around, he felt humiliated.
"Xiang Yu, stop boasting, if you dare, then..." he didn’t finish his words before Xiang Yu suddenly grabbed his wrist and hit his rib.
Wu Jinlong felt pain and tried to counter.
At this mont, Xiang Yu used his feet forcefully, doing a "Sweep Thousands of Troops" move to sweep Wu Jinlong to the ground.
"Xiang Yu, you cheated," Wu Jinlong shouted angrily, gritting his teeth.
At the corner, Yuan Huai spat out his drink upon witnessing this. To him, Xiang Yu could defeat Wu Jinlong but Xiang Yu used the simplest thod.
He first enraged the opponent verbally, then seized the opportunity while the opponent spoke, to win with one move.
Though a bit unscrupulous, it was a rather effective tactic. Yuan Huai chuckled and sat down to watch the show while drinking.
"I won’t accept it, let’s go again," Wu Jinlong said, standing up to fight Xiang Yu again.
"Stop, you’ve already lost." Jin Zhengming said sternly.
He realized Xiang Yu indeed cheated; he felt disdain for Xiang Yu’s approach.
They were all top-level figures, how could they resort to such tactics?
Initially intending to observe Xiang Yu’s fighting style, he ended up seeing nothing and concluded Xiang Yu was a shaless man.
"Hall Master, I can defeat him," Wu Jinlong said, unconvinced.
"Enough, you already fell flat on your face, and you’re still here not ashad," Tie Zhuzi said, tapping the ground with his stick.
"Are you looking for trouble?" Wu Jinlong said, teeth clenched.
He was now on the verge of madness, void of any scholar’s dignity.
Jin Zhengming gestured to Wu Jinlong not to speak further, stepped forward, removed his coat, and threw it to Wu Jinlong.
"I really want to see what more tricks you have," Jin Zhengming said, rolling up his sleeves ready.
"Wait." Xiang Yu said, seeing the opponent preparing to fight.
"What, scared, ready to surrender?" Jin Zhengming taunted.
Since Jin Zhengming was prepared, he intended to teach Xiang Yu a good lesson.
Although Xiang Yu was soone required to be protected by those above, he hurt his hall’s brother so brazenly; if he didn’t punish Xiang Yu thoroughly, he wouldn’t know his hall’s strength...
