Chapter Thirty-Two: The Great Battle with He Marshal

  I kept a close eye on the few people who were always at the back, these people were far away from me, at the end of our team, they looked like they were secretly retreating, when the fight started, this group would definitely not go up and die, and muddy the waters, such people, there was no need to stay in my team.

  "Are you guys still going up?" I stared at them coldly.

  "Come on, Jiege!"

  "Brother Jie, let's get started! We'll definitely make it happen!"

  A few people plucked up their courage and said it, but upon hearing it, they felt somewhat lacking in confidence.

  "Alright, let me make one thing clear: if anyone intentionally falls down or runs away first, I, Li Jie, will not hesitate to make them pay the price they deserve." I frowned and said loudly, "You all think carefully now. If you're afraid of getting beaten up and can't take a single blow, then leave now or hide aside and watch the show."

  "I'm giving you three minutes to consider. Now, those who want to fight with me, take three steps forward. Those who don't want to fight with me, stay where you are and don't move. If you take these three steps and then hinder us later, don't blame me, Li Jie, for being ruthless and turning against you!" I coldly threatened the crowd.

  Liu Shuai took the first step, Liu Kai and Li Ming followed closely behind. Shi Meng and a few other former campus big shots didn't hesitate much either, and they all started walking together. Now there are ten people on our side, which is roughly equal to He Shuai's side in terms of numbers. Then, two people sent by Xu Long walked over, and after that, another two people walked over as well.

  There were a few people who looked at each other in dismay, some of them uncertain. I repeated, "Don't follow the crowd, following me might get you beaten up a lot. If you can't take it or are afraid of getting beaten, I advise you not to come over."

  I've said the ugly words upfront, and many people who were hesitant in their hearts have gradually started to retreat. Everyone already knows that I have a grudge against Gao Tianwei, and at that time, they followed me completely because of Brother Qiang's backing. Now it seems that I don't intend to rely on Brother Qiang to get by, otherwise, I wouldn't have come through the appointment point to challenge him.

  Actually, all it takes is one sentence from Brother Qiang, and Gao Tianwei will agree to let me take the flag.

  Gao Ge's words are something that Gao Tianwei can only obey, so there were a few people who followed me because of Gao Ge. Now they heard that they would be beaten and not just once, so they immediately wanted to quit.

  In the end, we left sixteen people on our side. Although these sixteen people were not a particularly capable elite team, they all had a resolute heart.

  I looked at them with gratitude. "Thank you, I promise, I will do my best to protect you." "Alright, stop being so sentimental, let's get started already! Look, we haven't even begun fighting and your team has already lost half of its members, haha!" He Shuai laughed and said disdainfully. "We'll put up three sticks on our side too. Li Jie, how about we add some excitement to this? What do you say?" "What kind of excitement?" "Just a bet, okay? If I win later, I want my brothers to go celebrate with a drink, but the money on me isn't enough, so I thought I'd win some from you. Don't know if you're willing or not?" He Shuai said with a playful smile.

  "What's wrong with that? Who will die in whose hands is still unknown, let's say, bet how much?" I frowned, not wanting to back down here, because at this moment I need a strong morale more, once I don't agree, it means I'm afraid, and the morale of my side will also collapse. He Shuai smiled easily "Look at you, all from poor rural towns, probably can't come up with much, just bet 1,000 yuan"

  "A thousand yuan?" I repeated.

  "What? You can't even come up with 1,000 yuan?" He Shuai said with a very arrogant tone "There are over ten of you, if you split it evenly, it's just tens of yuan per person, it's easy to gather 1,000"

  "Haha, don't worry about the 1,000 yuan, I'll cover it myself." With a flourish of my pen, I said generously, "Although we're not rich and didn't really take this 1,000 yuan seriously"

  "Moreover, I never thought I would lose!"

  "Don't worry, Jie Ge, we'll fight with our lives and won't let you lose!"

  "Right, dare to look down on us? Let's kill them!" "I, Zhao Tian, have never been looked down upon like this before. Wait and see, I'll kill that He Shuai. What Four Great Golden Arhats? I'm still the one who has Li Tianwang backing me up." "Don't be too quick with your words, now I let you guys go wild, but later I'll make you perish." He Shuai picked up a stick and said, "Alright, we won't waste any more words. Since you've all agreed, then let's get started. After we're done, brother still wants to go steam a sauna."

  "Steam sauna?" I smiled coldly and turned back to look at my brothers. "Brothers, are you ready to start?"

  "Ready, Brother Jie, can you give me a stick?"

  "No way, there are only three sticks. Shi Meng used to use sticks and was famous for being handy. Liu Kai is a veteran, so he gets one. The last one is mine." I furrowed my brow and whispered to them, "You can't have our sticks. You can surround He Shuai with four or five people and grab the stick from him."

  "Great, Brother Jie is quite reliable!"

  "No, no, it's clever enough"

  As I started fighting, I glanced at those who had quit and saw the disappointment and guilt on their faces. My mood suddenly became very complicated. Was I too cruel to drive them away?

  He Shuai shouted and his men immediately ran towards us, Shi Meng, Liu Kai, and Liu Shuai were all one-on-one, while the others were two-on-one, and He Shuai and I faced off against each other.

  Liu Shuai, Liu Kai and Li Ming, the three of us, run every morning, and have already developed good physiques after a period of training. My own training also began on the second day after I boasted that I would become the school tyrant.

  After several rounds, it was clear that my side had the upper hand, with a significant advantage in numbers. Most of the two-on-one fights ended with our opponents being knocked down several times. As for me and He Shuai, we were evenly matched, but neither of us went all out.

  The person who fell down got up quickly, after a long time, there were a few people on our side who couldn't hold on anymore. Although He Shuai hadn't participated in any gathering activities for a good while, his fighting strength was still pretty good compared to others.

  I let out a loud shout and swung my stick fiercely, aiming at He Shuai's head. He Shuai was quick-witted and raised his hands to block the attack with his own stick. In that brief moment, I lifted my foot and kicked He Shuai in the abdomen, then sent him tumbling to the ground.

  "What the...! You dare to hit me in the head, and now you're lying on the ground, cursing at me with no shame? You're even more despicable than that Zhang Kun guy!"

  "That's what your brother taught me, when it comes to enemies, be more despicable, don't forget, we're in a fight, not a martial arts competition, there's no referee here, since it's a fight, there's no rules to speak of." I said this while kicking He Shuai's abdomen and using the stick in my hand to block his.

  He Shuai let out a loud shout, then quickly crouched down and swept his leg at me. I hadn't expected He Shuai to have such a powerful move, and the force of the sweep was immense. I stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.

  After being swept to the ground, the person next to me took a stick and rushed towards me. At that time, I didn't even have time to dodge. In this instant, I saw a figure rushing in front of me at high speed.

  It wasn't until I came to my senses that I saw it was Li Ming.

  Li Ming smiled at me with a painful expression.
