"Shut up!" I interrupted before he could finish, "Who do you think my senior brother is? Do you think he's trash like you?"
“Junior brother…” Senior brother sighed, frowned and was about to say something when I immediately said, “Senior brother, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing and won’t do anything reckless.”
After saying that, I looked at Lokisu and said, "Come on, we can start fighting now. Don't worry, I'm a man who follows the rules. When we fight, we'll definitely rely on our true skills. You don't need to worry about my men!"
Lokisu's expression softened slightly, but I quickly changed my tone and said with a slow smile, "However, I'm the kind of person who always keeps public and private matters separate! Our duel is one thing, and even if I lose, don't worry, I absolutely won't retaliate against you here. You'll be convinced!"
After saying that, I shouted, "Xiao Huang, did you hear me? No matter what happens to me later, you are not allowed to make a move or frighten our guests inside this door, understand?"
"I understand." Xiao Huang paused for a moment.
I smiled and said, "For example, if we fight, there will definitely be injuries. I won't touch you inside this door, because that's the rule! But once we're outside this door, it's no longer the martial arts school! It's outside! Xiao Huang, let me ask you, in Vancouver, if someone dares to hurt me, Chen Yang, what should I do?"
"What!" Little Huang raised an eyebrow, his face filled with murderous intent: "In Vancouver, if anyone dares to mess with Brother Wu, damn it, the brothers will stuff him into a sack and throw him into the sea! That's our rule!!"
After saying that, I looked at Lokisu with a smile: "You see, I'm a person who follows the rules. Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters! Here, even if you hurt me, my people will absolutely not harm you. However, if you hurt me, even if we have a personal grudge, I guarantee that my people will not touch you in the martial arts gym. Even if we need to settle scores, we will definitely wait until you leave the gym! ...I'm very much a stickler for the rules!"
The implication is simple: Come on, fight! If you dare to injure even a hair on my head here, you're dead the moment you step out this door!
Part Two: The Road to Success, Chapter Ninety: Invincible Senior Brother
My move was indeed a bit despicable and somewhat dishonorable... but when dealing with this kind of person, there's no need to be bound by the rules.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, since this Rocky Su could actually severely injure Chairman Su of the Hung Kuen Association, his kung fu skills must be extraordinary! Such skills are probably no less than mine!
At this moment, Lokisu's expression changed after hearing my words, which were based on the same logic as those of bandits! Seeing that I had such a large number of men, all of whom were carrying guns and had a menacing look on their faces, and all of whom looked shrewd and capable, he had already guessed that my identity was probably not ordinary!
Throughout history and across cultures, the common people never challenge the powerful. This Lokisu is merely a skilled fighter with a bit more fame; he's no big shot. Today, he's just someone brought in to help out—to put it bluntly, a high-level thug. Seeing my power and influence, how could he dare to fight me?
He's not the kind of person who's truly courageous and fearless. Judging by his stance, if he dared to fight me here and injure even a hair on my head, he'd probably be shot dead as soon as he got outside!
But... in a fight, how can you avoid getting hurt? Unless it's only me hitting him, and he can't hit me!
Westerners are not Easterners, after all. They don't have the same kind of pedantry as many Eastern martial artists. They are more realistic. Seeing this situation, Lokisu, who had originally wanted to say something harsh or mocking, dared not say anything now... because Little Yellow stared at him coldly and pulled back the bolt with a click!
Lokisu's face flushed red and then paled, and finally he gritted his teeth, glanced at me, and without saying a word, stepped back and whispered, "I'm not fighting you anymore."
I laughed heartily, quite pleased with myself, then deliberately glanced at the Japanese man. Mitsuo Toya, his entire body bandaged and trembling with rage, suddenly shouted, "You Chinese, is this the only unfair and shameless thing you can do?!"
I immediately retorted, "Yes, does that mean it's fair and shameless for you Japanese to bring so many people to challenge us, trying to outnumber us?"
Mitsuo Toya pretended not to hear—everyone on Earth knows how the Japanese are adept at defaulting on debts and distorting the truth.
"Chen Yang." My senior brother suddenly called out to me, and I looked at him. I heard him say slowly, "Alright, stop fooling around! Come here."
He beckoned me over, and once I was there, he lowered his voice and said, "Who told you to do this? What are you doing bringing so many people here?"
I smiled and said, "Senior Brother, these people were the ones who started this trouble. I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine. If they use fair and square methods against us, we'll naturally use fair and square methods against them. But if they want to play dirty tricks, are we just going to be stupid enough to stick our necks out and get slaughtered?"
The eldest disciple shook his head: "Alright, you've made enough of a scene. Step down. Don't get involved in anything else. No matter what, these underhanded tactics are never good... We absolutely cannot tarnish the reputation of our sect!"
Although the eldest brother was a bit pedantic, he had already taken a step forward. With that one step, his entire aura seemed to change! His presence was as steady as a mountain, as unyielding as an ancient boulder! What the demeanor of a master! Then I heard the eldest brother calmly say, "Tomoya Mitsuo, if you want to fight, then let's fight! I guarantee my junior brother won't hurt you." After saying that, he turned and glanced at me, then shouted, "Junior brother, regardless of who wins or loses, your people are not allowed to attack them, understand?"
Since my senior brother said so, he must be confident of victory, so I could only nod.
Mitsuo Toya breathed a sigh of relief, though his eyes were still darting around. Finally, he whispered a few words in Japanese to his younger brother, Hideo Toya. Hideo Toya nodded in response. The guy, with a cold expression, slowly stepped forward, bowed to my senior brother, and mumbled a few words in Japanese, though it was unclear what he was saying.
Mitsuo Toya translated from behind: "Lei Zhen-kun, my younger brother said he wants to challenge you in my place! I hope this will be a fair match between martial artists!"
The eldest brother smiled, said nothing more, and simply uttered a single word: "Please!"
Suddenly, Hideo Toya shouted and ripped off the black samurai robe covering him, revealing the close-fitting outfit underneath. He then took a step forward with his right foot and shouted again.
Immediately, one of the Japanese men came up from behind, carrying a long box. When he opened it, inside was a sharp, gleaming Japanese samurai sword!
The blade is narrow and long, with a unique curve, and its edge is extremely sharp, emitting a cold, eerie light!
Hideo Toya looked solemn. He took out a long sword from the box and gripped it tightly. Then he assumed an attack stance, with his left foot back and right foot forward, his body slightly bent, and his hands holding the sword upright in front of him.
When the eldest brother saw him take a stance, a glint of shrewdness appeared in his eyes. He smiled casually and said, "Oh, I rarely use a knife. I'll use my family's staff technique to test my skills against you."
After saying that, he turned to look at his disciples. One of the senior disciples had already taken a staff from a shelf by the training ground and threw it over, shouting, "Master, catch this staff!"
The senior brother, staff in hand, raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Come on!!"
Hideo Toya took a deep breath, then shouted and rushed forward with a few rapid steps, simultaneously raising his sword with both hands to strike! His speed was so fast that I couldn't help but be a little surprised! The stance with which he swung the sword down was indeed very imposing!
The eldest brother didn't raise his staff to parry; he simply shifted his body slightly to the side, taking two steps to dodge the incoming blade. Toya Mitsuo's strike missed, and he immediately swung his blade horizontally. The eldest brother still didn't parry, casually taking another step back—a step that created a perfectly precise distance! Toya Hideo's blade almost grazed the eldest brother's body!
Hideo Toya missed with both of his attacks. A fierce look flashed across his face. Suddenly, he bent over, then straightened up and thrust his sword forward!
This slash was like a venomous snake, the blade aimed at the senior brother's chest and abdomen. Moreover, Toya Hideo's timing was excellent, his move was decisive and ruthless, making me frown secretly as I watched from the side!
This Japanese person is indeed very capable.
But the senior brother's expression didn't change at all. He just watched the knife come at him without moving his feet. His left hand was behind his back, and he held a stick in his right hand... Suddenly, in that instant, the senior brother moved!
He still didn't take a step, but suddenly raised his right hand holding the stick and swept it down!
His movements were astonishingly fast! The stick in his hand was almost entirely accompanied by a wisp of black smoke; no one could see his actions clearly! He struck first despite being the one who attacked later! Before Hideo Toya's blade could even pierce him, three muffled "crack" sounds were heard in quick succession!
Hideo Toya groaned in pain and suddenly staggered backward, limping slightly.
Only I changed my expression!
Senior Brother, his kung fu has reached this level?!
In that split second, he struck first, and before the opponent's blade could pierce him, he suddenly raised his hand and swept the stick towards Toya Hideo's right foot! Then, in that lightning-fast instant, his stick swiftly struck Toya Hideo's right shinbone three times!
Fast! So fast it's almost invisible!!
Mitsuo Toya immediately lost his balance, could only sheathe his sword, and then staggered backward, but his right leg was already powerless.
The senior brother remained calm, looking at Hideo Toya, then at Mitsuo Toya, who was covered in bandages, and slowly said, "Hmm, your younger brother's kung fu is much better than yours."
Toya Mitsunami's face immediately turned ashen, and Toya Hideo, who was holding a knife on the field, also looked extremely ugly. Finally, he shouted and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes!
I saw him take a deep breath, his whole body first relaxing, then instantly tensing up! Gripping the knife with both hands, he suddenly lunged forward!!
When he kicked off with his foot, I knew something was wrong!
Sure enough, upon seeing his younger brother's stance, the mummy, Toya Mitsuo, couldn't help but shout, "A single slash against the wind!!"
Toya Hideaki had already darted towards his senior brother like an arrow, his sword wielding an imposing aura! While in mid-air, he resembled a large bird, his entire body stretched out, and then, gripping the sword with both hands, he unleashed a powerful slash!
The legendary ultimate technique of the Yagyu school of Japanese martial arts, a single slash against the wind—truly extraordinary! Its power is formidable!!
But in the very next second, before the cheers from the Japanese could even escape their throats, the situation took a dramatic turn for the worse…
When the senior disciple saw that his opponent had been forced to unleash such a powerful move, he showed no sign of nervousness; instead, a faint smile appeared on his face…
Just as Toya Hideo unleashed his slash in mid-air... the senior brother simply raised his right arm, as if casually tapping the staff in his hand against Toya Hideo...
flutter!
Everyone in the room heard that one voice!
The dazzling glint of the blade vanished instantly, and Hideo Toya was seen falling backward like a bird with broken wings...
It turns out that the senior brother had just casually raised his stick... He didn't try to parry or block the opponent's knife, but simply thrust the stick out casually... His speed was so fast that it struck Toya Hideo hard in the heart!
At that time, Hideo Toya's sword hadn't even cut halfway through!
Seeing my senior brother's blow, I suddenly felt enlightened! My mind involuntarily recalled the most basic principle my master had taught us when he was teaching us kung fu: "An inch longer, an inch stronger!"
This principle is known to almost everyone, even those who don't know kung fu. However, today, my senior brother used this most basic and simple principle of Chinese martial arts to easily break through the opponent's most powerful Yagyu style's Wind-Facing Slash!
Yes, a samurai sword is only a little over three feet long, while a staff reaching the eyebrows is six feet long!! The senior brother thrust out with his staff, piercing Toya Hideo's heart. At that moment, the distance between the two was a full six feet long!
But the samurai sword is only a little over three feet long... Hideo Toya knew he couldn't possibly hit his senior brother.
Hideo Toya was struck in the chest with a stick, his face turning pale with pain, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He collapsed to his knees, his katana supporting him, but he couldn't get up for a long time!
The senior disciple remained calm, casually handing the stick to a martial arts disciple behind him, and said indifferently, "Don't try to tough it out. You won't recover from this blow in at least ten days. Go back and heal your injuries. If you continue to push yourself, even if you recover in the future, your skills will be diminished."
Like a mummy, Toya Mitsuo's face was also deathly pale. He waved his hand and shouted, and immediately his Japanese subordinates rushed up and hurriedly carried Toya Hideo away.
“Toya Mitsuo, your younger brother is far more capable than you.” The eldest brother looked at the mummy with his hands behind his back: “But it seems unlikely that he can defeat me.”
Toya Mitsuo's expression was uncertain. He had brought his men today. Firstly, he intended to outnumber my senior brother and use a series of attacks. In his mind, while my senior brother was skilled, he might not be able to withstand the combined attacks of three masters! Secondly, even if my senior brother could defeat all three, he had brought so many subordinates, each a capable disciple, and all armed with weapons—including several guns!
His original malicious plan was to take advantage of the chaos to launch a major attack, no matter what. He was determined to cripple my senior brother today! Because, no matter how good your kung fu is, you can't beat a gun! Everyone knows that.
But my arrival thwarted his plans! I had brought more men than he did, and they were all armed—compared to his few pistols, my men were all equipped with AK-47s! With so many dark gun barrels pointed at them, how could he dare to act recklessly?
He was speechless at this moment, but the senior brother looked at the Korean Lee Sung-ki and slowly said, "What about this gentleman? Would you like to come down and offer some pointers?"
Lee Sung-ki was quite handsome. But he hesitated. He had just witnessed his senior brother's ghostly attack, easily defeating Hideo Toya without a fight… Lee Sung-ki knew Hideo Toya's reputation and strength very well! If even Hideo Toya couldn't handle it, then he himself might not be a match…
However, he was probably thinking to himself: "The opponent is good at stick fighting, but his fist and foot skills may not be strong!"
Clinging to this sliver of hope, he was still hesitant about whether to go on stage.
In the end, the Korean's timid and cautious nature prevailed. He didn't say anything, but slowly took a step back and shook his head.
Seeing his promising situation turn out this way, Mitsuo Toya's face turned extremely ugly. He sighed heavily and said angrily, "Rai Zhen! Let's have another chance to settle this!"
After saying that, he and his men slunk away, but my men blocked the doorway. The eldest brother frowned, looked at me, and sighed, "Let them go."
I waved my hand, and my men cleared the way to the doorway. But then a thought struck me, and I pulled Xiao Huang aside and whispered, "Find two brothers to follow them and see where they settle down."
Xiao Huang immediately nodded and went.
My senior brother gave me a deep look; he had probably heard what I said, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that things were over, I approached my senior brother and tentatively called out again, "Senior brother, they..."
The eldest brother shook his head, waved his hand, glanced at me, and said, "Chen Yang, you should go too."
"I...I still want to talk to my senior brother." I wanted to linger here. But my senior brother glanced at me and said, "Don't think that what I said inside just now doesn't count..."
Seeing the dejection on my face, a hint of pity flashed in my senior brother's eyes. He finally sighed and softened his tone, "Alright, I'm a little tired today. Let's talk about it another day..."
After saying that, he left me and walked inside.
But I was in a great mood!
"Let's talk about it another day?" So, does that mean that Senior Brother has taken back what he said before—that he would never see me again and would sever all ties with me?
I couldn't help but feel delighted. Then I glanced at the disciples of the eldest senior brother present, grabbed the disciple of the eldest senior brother who had argued with me earlier that day, and said with a smile, "Are you my eldest senior brother's disciple? What's your name?"
The young man blushed and looked at her awkwardly, saying, "My name is Di Bao... um, that is, Uncle-Master."
I laughed: "You don't need to call me 'Master Uncle'. It's still uncertain whether my senior brother will even acknowledge me as his junior brother." I whispered: "Well, by the way, we became friends after a fight, but from now on we're on the same side. If you need anything here, senior brother, you can come to me anytime, understand?"
