Chapter 0006 will convince you until you are persuaded
Huang Shihai's expression darkened, and he furrowed his brows as he said: "Lord Li, I must remind you once again, on the arena there are no father and son; life and death are unpredictable. If you go up there, it truly is a matter of life and death."
Li Zhen felt a surge of ambition in his heart, and his anticipation grew even stronger
The common point is that there are no good intentions
He pointed at Li Zhen with his right hand and shouted arrogantly: "Li, if you want to be our leader, I have no objections, as long as you can defeat me in the arena, I will accept it. If you have the guts, come up here to challenge me. If you lack the courage and don't dare to come up, just go back from where you came, I won't be bothered by your presence."
Li Zhen nodded, his gaze turning towards Huang Shihai, a smile flickering in his eyes
Huang Shihai remained silent for a long time, then suddenly shouted: "Everyone, pay attention and listen carefully. The person next to me is Lord Li Zhen, a general appointed by Qi Shan. If you have anything to say to Lord Li or any matters to consult him about, do so openly without any reservations. If anyone engages in underhanded actions, do not blame me for turning against you."
Huang Shihai's lips twitched slightly, leaving him momentarily speechless
Huang Shihai took a deep breath, ready to step onto the stage and compete with Li Zhen. He took a step forward and suddenly shouted, "Huang Hu has conceded, but I, Huang Shihai, will not concede!"
Huang Shihai stood outside the crowd with Li Zhen and suddenly took a deep breath to shout. This roar was like a fierce tiger roaring in the mountains, instantly intimidating the entire scene. All the soldiers obediently closed their mouths, their gazes fixed on Huang Shihai, while also staring at Li Zhen. Even though Li Zhen maintained a calm demeanor, he could still feel the pairs of eyes filled with ill intentions, even carrying a hint of provocation.
Excitement sparkled in Huang Huy's eyes as he raised his fist to defend himself
In fact, this was still a move left by Li Zhen.
Moments later, I unexpectedly arrived beside a competition arena
Huang Hu opened his mouth and smiled, saying: "Lord Li, rest assured, for the future of my master, I will not kill you. However, I must teach you a lesson, so that you will lie in bed and rest for ten days or half a month"
Without the courage of a tiger, one would surely be tormented to the brink of death by this group of people
Li Zhen is physically robust, yet remarkably agile
In Huang Shihai's eyes, a glimmer of brilliance flashed; he did not expect Li Zhen to be so inscrutable.
... ...
From this, Li Zhen has already been able to determine Huang Shihai's prestige among the soldiers. If Qishan wants to take down Huang Shihai, this group of soldiers will surely rebel; they only recognize Huang Shihai and do not acknowledge Qishan. Li Zhen also understood Wu Qigong's words: the soldiers under Huang Shihai are indeed ruthless and ferocious individuals to the military leaders.
Unconvinced
Huang Shihai sighed, revealing a look of difficulty.
After defeating Huang Hu, Li Zhen remained calm and composed, smiling as he asked, "Huang Hu, are you willing to concede?"
Huang Hu did not back down at all, adopting a posture of a rogue, and said loudly: "Do not stop me. If Lord Li does not agree to my request, I will not comply. What are you going to do about it? You can handle it as you see fit"
Shut up!
Huang Shihai, upon hearing the words of the bald man, flashed a hint of a smile in his eyes but then sternly reprimanded, "He Tu Shu Huang Hu, standing beside me is the newly arrived Lord Li. Are you itching for a challenge against Lord Li?"
He stepped forward, suddenly lunging ahead, easily dodging Huang Hu's punch. Once Huang Hu's moves became predictable and his strength was exhausted, Li Zhen placed his left hand on Huang Hu's left arm. In an instant, his palm transformed into a claw, tightly gripping Huang Hu's arm, and he pulled outward. Huang Hu lost his balance, and Li Zhen's right foot immediately shot out, blocking in front of Huang Hu's legs
The yellow tiger, with its thick and coarse skin, was not injured at all; falling onto the arena was akin to being bitten by an ant—neither painful nor itchy. The yellow tiger quickly sprang back to its feet with a nimble motion, reached up to scratch its smooth head, and said in a deep voice: "You just took a shortcut; if you have the ability, face me head-on and let’s see who is stronger"
Li Zhen understood that this was Huang Shihai's provocation and intimidation, and he did not care at all
Li Zhen listened to Huang Shihai's words, and a cold smile repeatedly appeared in his heart; this Huang Hu must have been arranged by Huang Shihai.
Li Zhen clenched his right fist and charged out with great speed
Li San quickly left the arena in utmost cooperation
If Li Zhen were to strike fiercely, a left hook would land on Huang Hu's chin, and a single punch would be enough to knock Huang Hu's chin off. Li Zhen looked at the fallen Huang Hu and said: "Huang Hu, you have been defeated once again; do you concede?"
The soldiers surrounding the arena immediately began to stir upon hearing this
Baldy, hit hard! Hit hard!
Watch out!
Li Zhen smiled as he stared at Huang Shihai, secretly thinking that this fellow was cunning
This is interesting
After Li Zhen stepped onto the stage and stood firm, he beckoned to Huang Hu with his hand and provocatively said, "Come on!"
After two encounters with the *illustrated* book, Huang Hu realized that he was no match.
The fist swung out, accompanied by a howling wind, creating a terrifying momentum. Huang Huniu, tall and robust, with a head resembling that of a tiger, possessed immense strength. The force behind his double fists was easily in the range of one to two hundred pounds. If they were to strike Li Zhen, it would undoubtedly injure his bones and tendons, leaving him bedridden for at least ten to fifteen days.
Thud
Li Zhen calmly took off his coat and said, "Huang Qian, take a good look."
Li Zhen narrowed his eyes, understanding that Huang Shihai's final test was here
However, thinking of Huang Hu's stubbornness, he said: "Alright, I will beat you until you submit."
At this moment, Huang Hu's roar echoed once more: "Lord Li, do you dare to come?"
Huang Shihai remained focused and silent, while the soldiers standing around him also kept their mouths shut, with only the faint sound of breathing audible. The scene was so quiet that one could hear a steel needle drop to the ground.
A moment ago, it was as noisy as a vegetable market
In an instant, a crowd surged, and shouts erupted. The alternating sounds of laughter and loud roars filled the air; some soldiers mocked Li Zhen for not daring to face the battle, while others urged him to engage in a duel.
Li Zhen followed Huang Shihai, and the deeper they went into the camp, the louder the noise became
Huang Hu's foot was caught, causing him to lose his balance and stumble to the ground
Li San, beat that bald man to death, hit him hard, do not show any mercy
Huang Hu twisted his head, feeling very excited
Huang Shihai said helplessly: "Lord Li, it is no trouble for me to provide guidance; I have made a fool of myself in front of you. Huang Hu is a dominant figure in the camp, yet he is also a valiant general and an excellent fighter. It is not wise to confront him directly. My lord, Huang Hu possesses incredible brute strength; if you were to engage him in battle, you might be beaten to death. It would be better not to confront him at all."
This statement is clearly inciting the soldiers to provoke.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhen immediately wanted to refute it
Li Zhen's mood darkened, knowing that the main event was about to begin
Hello!
Oh, has someone died up there?" Li Zhen retorted
The bald man stared at Li Zhen, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, resembling a wild leopard fixated on its prey
Having said that, Li Zhen threw the clothes to Huang Shihai and walked towards the arena
The yellow tiger let out a low growl, clenched its fists tightly, and lunged forward.
The fists collided, producing a muffled sound. However, Li Zhen had another move ready; taking advantage of Huang Hu not having launched an attack yet, he delivered a left uppercut, his fist rising sharply to strike fiercely at Huang Hu's right armpit. With that punch, Huang Hu's body leaned back, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, his right arm rendered powerless, unable to muster any strength.
The bald man is named Huang Hu, sharing the same surname as Huang Shihai
The person he possessed was also named Li Zhen, and in this life, he was an orphan, without family or friends. Although his status was humble, he possessed a robust and agile physique. Huang Hu was a practitioner of martial arts, strong and rough, yet not sufficiently agile. Li Zhen brushed off his clothing and disdainfully said: "Captain Huang, although Huang Hu is brave and strong, in my eyes, his martial skills are mediocre and not remarkable."
Huang Shihai nodded slightly, a glimmer of appreciation passing through his eyes. The Jiangbei camp is filled with countless generals, who hold positions but do not take action, and are also timid. Li Zhen's calmness in facing the battle can be considered as a mark of a real man. However, Huang Shihai would not bow to Li Zhen because of this matter; involving the lives of one thousand two hundred brothers, he could not easily relinquish his military authority.
The purpose of setting up the arena was to allow his soldiers to compete against each other and hone their martial skills. Even though some soldiers ended up with bruised faces and swollen noses during the contests, no one had ever died. Previous generals who sought to subdue Huang Shihai were intimidated into silence upon seeing Huang Hu and the array of soldiers in the army, retreating in fear, which was not the case with Li Zhen.
He struggled to stand up and clasped his fists, saying: "Lord Li, your martial arts are exceptional; Huang Hu concedes!"
Surrounding the arena were numerous soldiers.
These soldiers are all bare-chested, waving their arms and shouting loudly. The two men in the arena are fighting fiercely, and the soldiers below are also roaring with excitement. These soldiers exude a certain bandit-like spirit, unlike those trained in the military. Li Zhen observed the behavior of these soldiers and understood why the military leaders could not control this group.
As soon as Huang Shihai finished speaking, the bald man standing on the arena impatiently shouted, "Li San, you get down, don't hinder me from challenging Lord Li."
"You worthless scoundrels, your fighting is like a couple of women squabbling, lacking any strength at all. If I were to step in, I could knock you down with just two punches, leaving you unable to get back up. Useless, two useless ones."
At this moment, it is tranquil and silent, entirely different
On the arena stood two muscular men with bare torsos. One of them was bald, his smooth head gleaming with a slick sheen, his gaze fierce and his face menacing. The other man had a long braid coiled atop his head, staring at the bald man. With a low growl, he swung his fist and charged at the bald man. The two engaged in hand-to-hand combat, fighting with great enthusiasm.
