Madman!

Chapter 61: I'm Going to Beat You to Death!

Master Bing was a veteran of the underworld. His loan shark operations were spread across various gang territories, and he had agreements with all of them.

Furthermore, some gangs invested their dirty money into his loan shark business, allowing him to navigate between various factions and command a degree of respect everywhere he went.

Even knowing that Shark Jiu was famous in the Walled City for her fighting prowess and violent temper, he hadn't feared her much, viewing her merely as a junior.

Chen Wujun had robbed his loan shark company and killed his men. He had sent people to trap Chen Wujun. In the end, this whole affair was just a messy unsettled score.

However, he never expected that Shark Jiu had come here today for the sole purpose of beating him to death.

Shark Jiu pulled back her right shoulder and slapped her left hand upward. The table flipped over, crashing toward Master Bing.

As an old underworld veteran, Master Bing's reaction was extremely fast. He stomped the ground hard, throwing himself backward like a rabbit and rolling into the crowd of his subordinates.

Cleft Lip Snake stepped forward and shattered the tabletop with a single punch, sending wood splinters flying.

A pale hand suddenly extended through the debris, grabbing Cleft Lip Snake's wrist and pulling back. Cleft Lip Snake's body was instantly yanked forward.

Cleft Lip Snake sneered, showing no sign of panic. He stomped his foot to borrow the momentum, twisted his body, and thrust his left elbow toward Shark Jiu like a Great Spear.Facing this elbow strike, Shark Jiu immediately released his hand. She twisted her waist, dropping her entire body toward the ground while simultaneously flipping in mid-air.

This movement technique resembled a giant python twisting and rolling. Its name was fitting: Python Turning Body.

Although Cleft Lip Snake was called a "Snake," Shark Jiu moved like a giant python.

His vision blurred, and Shark Jiu vanished from his sight. His heart gave a violent lurch.

He instantly tried to retract his force and change the angle of his left elbow, smashing it downward toward his side.

However, Shark Jiu was already there, one hand supporting his elbow while the fingers of her other hand pressed together like a sharp blade, stabbing toward Cleft Lip Snake's armpit.

Chen Wujun even heard a soft hiss, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

Not far away, Master Bing saw this scene and his expression changed drastically, but it was too late to intervene.

Intense pain exploded in Cleft Lip Snake's armpit. He launched himself more than two meters away, spraying blood across the floor, and turned to look at Shark Jiu with horror on his face.

The armpit is rich in nerves. Right now, he felt not only agonizing pain but also numbness spreading through half his body. He couldn't move it at all.

Shark Jiu's strike had penetrated half an inch deep, her fingers acting like a blade.

If Cleft Lip Snake hadn't retreated so quickly, Shark Jiu would have poked a hole straight through his heart.

Even though he had escaped death, half of Cleft Lip Snake's body was now paralyzed.

Shark Jiu had seemingly targeted Master Bing earlier, but her actual goal was Master Bing's top general—Cleft Lip Snake.

If both Master Bing and Cleft Lip Snake were in peak condition and fought her together, they might have been able to escape from her hands.

Unfortunately, Master Bing had been in the underworld too long and his courage had withered. His first reaction had been to leap back and retreat.

This allowed her to seize the opportunity to instantly cripple Cleft Lip Snake.

Now, even if Master Bing sprouted wings, he wouldn't be able to escape.

"Shark Jiu, do you really want to burn bridges like this?" Master Bing roared in anger.

"Burn bridges? Are you even worthy? I'm going to beat you to death!" Shark Jiu stamped her foot and lunged directly at Master Bing.

A few henchmen stepped forward to block her. One raised his hand to strike, but Shark Jiu simply placed her left hand on his arm and pressed down. The man looked terrified; it felt like his arm was being crushed by a steamroller, the force was immense.

Shark Jiu's right hand chopped horizontally into his neck.

Crack!

The man's neck was instantly twisted into an unnatural shape.

"Attack!" Chen Wujun ordered his subordinates.

Behind him, Ah Fei, Curry, and the others charged forward to intercept Master Bing's henchmen.

Chen Wujun shifted his gaze, landing on Cleft Lip Snake, who couldn't move half his body. He felt eager to try his luck.

The opponent had taken a heavy blow to the armpit and was partially paralyzed. There was no better opportunity to test his own strength.

After all, this man was an expert on the same level as Wen Long. If he were in peak condition, he could easily kill Chen Wujun.

Unless he was sparring with his senior brothers and sisters, he never had the chance to fight an expert of this caliber.

Chen Wujun was incredibly bold when he fought; he had even dared to stand on the edge of a rooftop. Facing a half-crippled Cleft Lip Snake was nothing in comparison. His mind raced; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately slid his feet along the ground, advancing as if wading through mud, and pounced straight toward Cleft Lip Snake's injured left side.

Simultaneously, his left hand feinted in front while his right hand stayed guarded by his ribs. It was the Mother Fist of the Swimming Dragon Palm: Green Dragon Extends Claw

.Cleft Lip Snake watched anxiously as Shark Jiu lunged at Master Bing, but with his heavy injury and paralyzed body, he was helpless to assist.

When he saw Chen Wujun lunging at him, a wave of vicious anger rose in his heart. A tiger down on its luck is bullied by dogs—even this brat dared to raise a hand against him?

He stomped a step forward and threw an extremely violent punch at Chen Wujun.

Chen Wujun's vision blurred. He felt the wind of the punch on his face before the fist had even arrived.

'So fast! So fierce!' The thought flashed through Chen Wujun's mind.

This punch carried at least five hundred kilograms of force, and this was while the opponent was heavily injured and not even using his full strength.

At his peak, the man would have had over a thousand kilograms of force.

He absolutely could not block it. If he blocked, he would be injured and his momentum would stop. The opponent would follow up, and Chen Wujun would undoubtedly die.

Fortunately, he was prepared. His left foot slid to the front right, dropping his height by half. His body led his right foot into a Swallow Skimming Water—a low, gliding move from the Swimming Dragon Palm—circling toward Cleft Lip Snake's rear left.

Unlike Shark Jiu's Python Turning Body, Swallow Skimming Water looked very similar but lacked the mid-air rolling and twisting motion.

'This move again?' Cleft Lip Snake's heart trembled when he saw Chen Wujun's movement. Then his eyes turned even colder and more violent, like a wounded beast.

Shark Jiu had used this move to catch him off guard, and her upward lift had actually disrupted his center of gravity.

But did this brat think he could blindly copy a master?

Cleft Lip Snake twisted his body rapidly. His right leg swept out like a steel whip, aiming for Chen Wujun's waist. The kick was incredibly wild, tearing through the air with a sound like a cracking whip lash.

In that split second, Chen Wujun subconsciously knew he couldn't dodge backward. He would never clear the range in time.

Since he couldn't retreat, he could only advance.

He immediately stepped forward with his left foot, practically drilling half his body into Cleft Lip Snake's embrace. It was an extremely audacious move.

He smashed his left elbow down, using it along with his left leg to block the opponent's thigh. This was the point of the "steel whip" that had the least amount of force.

Meanwhile, his right hand naturally snatched toward the opponent's crotch.

If the opponent's left hand could move, he could have smashed Chen Wujun's head in an instant, and Chen Wujun would never have dared to attempt this.

But the man's left hand was immobile, and his right leg was raised. His center was wide open.

Avoid the sharp edge, strike the vital point.

Cleft Lip Snake was startled by Chen Wujun's move. Becoming even more ferocious, and realizing he couldn't dodge in time, he accelerated his right hand, chopping down toward Chen Wujun's head.

This strike had enough force to shatter Chen Wujun's skull.

However, Chen Wujun's right foot slid, and his body spun. Executing another Swallow Skimming Water, he glided past Cleft Lip Snake's left side to his back, his right hand clawing upward between the man's legs.

The New Arts martial artist at the gambling den previously hadn't been able to dodge this move at all.

However, a New Arts martial artist in the Harmonization Phase possessed extremely keen senses. He could even hear the sound of Chen Wujun landing behind him and the friction of his sleeves as he moved. His reaction speed was incredible.

Cleft Lip Snake forcibly twisted his body and leaped more than two meters away. Chen Wujun's grab hit nothing but air.

Since half his body was immobile, Cleft Lip Snake nearly lost his balance upon landing. After stabilizing himself, he turned to glare viciously at Chen Wujun.

He felt a chill in his crotch, his heart pounding with lingering fear.

He had almost just capsized in a gutter.

This kid's Old Arts were exactly like Shark Jiu's—equally insidious and vicious.

If he hadn't been heavily injured with half his body paralyzed... he would have smashed the kid's head in just now.

The more Cleft Lip Snake thought about it, the angrier he got. He instinctively glanced toward Shark Jiu and Master Bing. He saw Master Bing tilt his head back to dodge a palm strike aimed at his chin, retreating backward.

But Shark Jiu stuck to him like a maggot on a bone, closely following his movement. After her palm missed, she immediately clawed downward.

"Ahhh!" Master Bing instantly let out a miserable, inhuman howl.

Shark Jiu raised her hand. Her fingers were stained with blood and held two small, black-and-white objects.

With that single clawing motion, she had gouged out both of Master Bing's eyeballs.

Seeing this, Cleft Lip Snake felt a chill in his heart. His courage shattered. He knew Master Bing was finished, and if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to leave either.

Ignoring Chen Wujun, he stomped heavily on the ground. Bang! The floor trembled as he launched himself backward like a cannonball.

Crash!

No one else had time to intercept him. Cleft Lip Snake smashed through the window and plummeted toward the street below.

The street was brightly lit and bustling with people strolling and digesting their dinners. Hearing the noise, they looked up to see a man falling alongside a shower of shattered glass.

The waves of startled cries from outside drifted into the room, mingling with Master Bing's inhuman wails.

That broken window served as a boundary line.

Separating two different worlds.

Outside was the noisy, mundane world; inside was the bloody underworld.
