Chapter 34

Yun Tonghai sneered with disdain. “If you’d come for the first round, your defeat would have been certain.”

Scarface cracked his knuckles impatiently and said, “Enough talk. Just tell us how this is going to be settled.”

Old Yun announced the rules. “Each side will send out their best fighters. The matches will be decided in a best-of-three format.”

Scarface nodded, then looked back at Li Hu with absolute confidence. “Don’t worry, Tiger. The first round is in the bag! Watch me claim victory right out of the gate.”

Yun Tonghai scoffed, “Big words. Ma the Third!”

As soon as the words left his lips, a burly, intimidating bald man strode forward.

The man stood at least one meter ninety, muscles bulging and explosive, his gaze fierce and murderous.

“Hongyun Gang’s third-in-command, Ma Hongzhen.”

Li Hu’s brow furrowed, his fists unconsciously tightening.

Old Yun drew in a sharp breath. “This man is no ordinary thug. They say he was once surrounded by more than a dozen attackers—he came out unscathed, killed five, injured four, and the rest fled in terror.”

Li Hu nodded warily. “Scarface is in trouble.”

Ma Hongzhen clenched his fists, the bones cracking audibly, his eyes radiating brutal intent.

Scarface rolled his shoulders and rubbed his fists together.

“Ma the Third, I’ve heard of your reputation. Tonight, let’s see whose fists are harder!” Scarface grinned with confidence.

Ma Hongzhen let out a cold laugh. “I won’t hold back. You’d better get your coffin ready.”

Scarface’s expression darkened. He snapped, “Big talk! Take this!” and charged at Ma Hongzhen, his punches swift and fierce.

Ma Hongzhen sneered, “Overestimating yourself!” He didn’t dodge—he met him head-on, fist to fist.

A thunderous bang echoed as their fists collided, a shockwave rippling through the air.

A sickening crack sounded.

Scarface’s face twisted in agony; his entire arm was grotesquely warped.

A scream tore from his lips as he staggered backward, his right arm mangled beyond recognition.

“Scarface lost?”

“And in just one move?”

The men of Black Tiger Gang were stricken with shock and disbelief.

This defeat dealt a massive blow to the Black Tiger Gang’s morale.

But Ma Hongzhen wasn’t finished. He pressed forward relentlessly, his attacks merciless and vicious.

“He’s going to kill him!” Li Hu shouted in alarm. “Ma Hongzhen, don’t you dare!”

Yun Tonghai shot back with a cold laugh, “Is there anything the Hongyun Gang fears?”

Li Hu’s voice trembled with anger. “Yun Tonghai, if you harm Scarface, the Black Tiger Gang will be your sworn enemy. We won’t rest until one of us is destroyed!”

“Then let it be to the death! I never intended to make peace. Tonight, it’s either you or me!”

Yun Tonghai raised his arm and shouted, “Ma the Third, give it all you’ve got tonight! Whatever happens, I’ll see you safe!”

Ma Hongzhen, emboldened, roared and charged at Scarface, landing a savage kick to his chest.

Scarface, still unsteady, was sent flying. Before he even hit the ground, Ma Hongzhen’s knee smashed into his midair form.

A scream rang out as Scarface soared upward, gravity dragging him back down.

Ma Hongzhen bent his right leg, poised to break Scarface’s spine with the force of his descent.

“Ma Hongzhen!” Li Hu, furious, was about to intervene, but Yun Tonghai blocked his way. “Li Hu, this is their fight. If you interfere, I won’t hold back against you either.”

“Come on, then!”
