    Chapter 64

    At the critical moment, a dark figure suddenly rushed onto the arena with a thunderous force, pouncing towards House.

    House quickly threw Shan Ming to the ground and swiftly dodged to the side, evading the oncoming attack.

    A powerful punch landed squarely on House’s chest, causing him to stagger back several steps until he collided with the ropes. If it weren’t for him instinctively tensing his muscles to enhance their strengths in that moment of desperation, the impact would have knocked him flat onto the ground.

    As he focused his gaze, he saw it was none other than the young pure-blooded Dragon Blood Kin they had been tracking and investigating, Shen Changze.

    After landing the strike, instead of continuing the attack, the child rushed to Shan Ming’s side, his voice filled with a tearful tone, “Dad, Dad!”

    The entire arena was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Soon, someone reacted, and the arena’s security guards rushed forward, their guns raised. “Who are you?”

    Shan Ming opened his swollen eyes and glanced at Shen Changze. The warmth of Shen Changze’s hand and the fresh scent emanating from him brought a sense of familiarity and comfort. His gaze regained clarity, and he softly uttered, “You took too fucking long.”

    Shen Changze lowered his head and kissed Shan Ming’s forehead and cheeks, his voice trembling, “Dad, I’m sorry. Are you okay, Dad?…”

    “Kafar has agreed to let this unexpected youth replace the Beauty as the opponent for the Beast! Let me hear the voices of the audience, do you guys agree?”

    The audience shouted at the top of their lungs, “Kill him! Kill him!” Although their “him” may not be referring to the same person, most of them wanted the fight to continue. Shen Changze’s strike had piqued their curiosity about this young boy, and they were eager to see just how skilled this handsome young lad was, daring enough to boldly step onto the stage.

    Shen Changze whispered to Shan Ming’s ear, “Dad, Ayer and the others have arrived. They’re preparing to attack from outside. Can you move on your own? Find a safe place to hide.”

    Shan Ming patted Shen Changze’s face gently. “I’m fine,” Nessis had already sent someone to carry him away. Shan Ming stared into Shen Changze’s eyes, reassuring him once again, “I’m okay, do what you need to do.”

    They carried Shan Ming out of the arena, and two doctors surrounded him, providing medical treatment.

    Shen Changze could still feel the warm touch of Shan Ming’s face in his hands. He tightened his grip, making a vow in his heart to bury this place forever!

    Standing up, Shen Changze turned his gaze toward House. He was surprised to encounter House in this place, but he had no interest in investigating the reasons. All he knew was that House had harmed Shan Ming, and he needed House to pay the price!

    House felt the flow of blood in his body, channeling all his energy, preparing himself fully for this battle.

    Both of them knew deep down that they were facing a true opponent.

    House said, “I don’t want to fight him, and I don’t want to fight you either. But it’s clear that we have different ideas.”

    Shen Changze didn’t have time to waste on idle talk. He needed to buy enough time before Ayer and the others were ready.

    Taking a deep breath, Shen Changze savored the distinctly bloody scent in the air of the arena. He started to move his body slowly, feeling the flow of blood, causing his muscles to tremble in a peculiar rhythm.

    He had once read a book on traditional Chinese martial arts secrets. Although Shan Ming had dismissed it as nonsense, Shen Changze found it fascinating. In the book, a master jokingly mentioned that if humans could generate the same explosive force as a canine shaking water off their fur, their striking power in combat would reach an unpredictable level in just a few movements. While it was a joke, Shen Changze, through long periods of actual combat, gradually thought of and developed a method to quickly utilize short bursts of muscle tremors to deliver powerful strikes to incapacitate his opponents.

    The only drawback was that this striking method was not sustainable. However, if combined with the instantaneous enhancement of specific body parts through Dragon’s Blood, this striking technique could create a tremendously powerful attack, capable of swiftly eliminating an opponent. It was a formidable move for swiftly defeating enemies in a single strike.

    He closed his eyes, sensing his own body. Without relying on his eyes to see or observe the opponent’s vulnerabilities, Shen Changze purely relied on the instincts of a predatory animal. He felt that House was preparing to launch an attack!

    House rushed towards him with a speed that was beyond what an ordinary human could ever achieve.

    Suddenly, Shen Changze forcefully kicked the ground with both feet, causing his body to stagger as if he couldn’t maintain his balance. He stumbled and threw himself at House’s feet, firmly grabbing onto his ankle with both hands!

    The physical strength of Caucasians clearly surpassed that of Asians of the same height and weight, not to mention that Shen Changze was nearly 30 centimeters shorter than House. In terms of human physique alone, Shen Changze couldn’t match up to House. And even with the assistance of Dragon Blood, he was not as experienced as House. He knew he wouldn’t gain any advantage if he used ordinary attack methods. Not only would it waste time, but his impatience might also cause him to transform in front of many people. After all, his current state was still unstable.

    To avoid a series of troubles, he had to defeat House as quickly as possible!

    And the only method he could think of was the “Cyber” technique created by Russian fighters, combined with the joint techniques developed by Chinese martial artists!

    The joint techniques were taught to him by Shan Ming. They were excellent moves that could incapacitate an opponent in a short period of time. However, they required a high level of skill and even Shan Ming himself had to consider the situation before using them.

    With his superior physical attributes, Shen Changze utilized his body weight and the impact generated from the stumble to firmly press his entire weight onto House’s ankle.

    House had never encountered Chinese martial arts before, let alone such a bizarre fighting style. The current situation forced House to face a difficult choice – whether to risk having his ankle twisted by his opponent or to take a step back, evade the opponent’s attack and launch a counterattack?

    There was no room for House to hesitate. Shen Changze’s hands were tightly gripping House’s tendons, and all the blood had rushed to his arms, he exerted all his strength to tear them apart.

    The intense pain was unbearable, even for professional fighters who had developed some level of numbness to pain.

    Before House could even cry out in pain, Shen Changze swiftly raised his right hand and ruthlessly smashed his elbow into the side of House’s knee.

    The sound of the kneecap shattering echoed through the entire bustling arena, instantly silencing the crowd!

    In this deadly arena, the fate of having a leg broken was almost like sentencing House to death.

    Shen Changze leaped up from the ground, intending to deliver a fatal blow to House. However, at that very moment, a series of gunshots rang out, and an LED display hanging from the ceiling came crashing down, smashing into the spectator seats near the arena.

    The entire scene instantly descended into chaos!

    Screams filled the air as the audience scattered in all directions. The once spacious arena turned chaotic, with panicked audience members running frantically like startled flies. The security guards of the arena and the bodyguards of the esteemed guests attempted to restore order, but their feeble voices were in vain. The situation had spiraled out of control.

    The moment the gunshots rang out, Shen Changze swiftly descended from the platform and scooped up Shan Ming, who was lying on a stretcher. He didn’t want to join the desperate crowd pushing towards the exits. Instead, he took refuge behind the massive sound equipment, waiting for the turmoil to pass. He definitely did not want to be trampled by the frenzied mob.

    Clutching onto Shen Changze’s shoulder, Shan Ming spoke in a stern voice, “Don’t let Nessis and Roddy escape. I have to kill them.”

    Shen Changze held Shan Ming tightly in his arms. “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t let them escape. Please don’t move around anymore, do you still want your arm?” his nose tingled as tears almost fell from his eyes.

    Shan Ming furrowed his brows. “What do you mean? I’m perfectly fine, you should be smiling. Is this the first time I’m injured?”

    Shen Changze sniffled, “No, but, it’s the first time… I couldn’t see when you got injured. I was so scared. I was afraid I would never see you again.” The child sobbed, burying his head in the nape of Shan Ming’s neck. “Dad, I’m so scared. I’m glad you’re alive. I’m so glad you’re alive.”

    Shan Ming raised his arm and gently tapped Shen Changze’s head. “Enough now. My life’s tough. I’m going to burn this cursed place to the ground.”

    Advertisements

    Shen Changze lifted his head and carefully examined Shan Ming’s face. He gently caressed Shan Ming’s bruised eyes and said, “Okay, we’ll burn it, we’ll definitely burn it.”

    “Ayer and the others are here? Who came?”

    “I’m not sure yet. I only contacted Ayer. Why is House here?”

    “According to him, he’s on a mission. He mentioned that there might be Dragon Blood components in the performance-enhancing drugs used by those people, so he came to investigate.”

    Shen Changze said fiercely, “I’m going to kill him.”

    Shan Ming said, “No rush, he knows a lot of things we don’t… Be careful!” Shan Ming embraced Shen Changze and they both rolled to the ground just as a bullet struck the sound equipment they had taken cover behind.

    In one swift motion, Shen Changze leaped up from the ground, drew his military knife, and threw it towards the bodyguard who had fired the shot. The blade pierced directly into the bodyguard’s chest. Shen Changze swiftly moved forward, seizing the fallen bodyguard’s gun before he hit the ground. He held the bodyguard’s lifeless body as a shield, unleashing a barrage of gunfire that turned the approaching bodyguards into sieves.

    Shen Changze dropped the gun and swiftly hoisted Shan Ming onto his back. They ran around the arena while bullets chased them from behind.

    Suddenly, the sound of heavy machine gun fire erupted above them, but they weren’t the target.

    Both of them looked up as Big Rock stood on the spectator stands, smiling and giving them a thumbs-up. Ayer stood beside him, providing cover. Upon seeing Shen Changze and Shan Ming, Ayer shouted, “Go backstage! Tiger Shark and Pelle are there!”

    Shan Ming felt as if a suspended weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
