Shan Ming sat on the prepared sofa under the stage. He squinted his eyes and watched the door of the iron cage rising slowly and he carefully sized up his opponent.
This person is wearing a black tight vest. His strong chest and abdominal muscles are undoubtedly exposed while his lower body was wearing a pair of well-made military pants and marine boots. This person is probably a soldier. His equipment habits are similar to those of the members of ‘Peregrine Falcon’. Almost similar. His face was covered with a ferocious red and black Oni Mask. Only his eyes, mouth and a small section of his graceful chin were exposed, giving him an imposing manner. Judging from his skin and hair colour, he is Asian.
This man’s height is at least between 1.87 to 1.88 metres. Shan Ming is normally surrounded by a group of tall Europeans and Americans, so he doesn’t think there is anything unusual about this person. But this is Japan. Shan Ming really doubted whether this person was really Japanese. But this person does have an Asian body built because his muscular structure is thin and flexible, with very beautiful lines. It is not as strong as the white or black people but it looks more like a model that was specially trained to have that kind of fancy muscle. Although it is beautiful in appearance, it is not very practical.
Of course, Shan Ming would not think that this person’s beautiful figure is not practical. A person who can win many games in a row without suffering any injuries is definitely an opponent who can fight against him.
The opponents of the first round for ‘Death Mask’ are the ‘Ice and Snow Brothers’ from Russia. They soon came on stage. These two strong Russian men were shirtless, showing their white muscles. Shan Ming felt a little disgusted looking at them.
To his surprise, ‘Death Mask’ did not look at the two of them, He instead focused his attention on him.
Shan Ming met his gaze without fear. Although he was far away, his eyesight was excellent so he immediately met ‘Death Mask’’s gaze.
He was stunned by that look.
‘Death Mask’ looked at him with extremely entangled eyes. They contained anger, hatred, sorrow, and some emotions that Shan Ming really couldn’t understand himself.
These deep eyes made Shan Ming feel inexplicably familiar but he had no impression of this person. He didn’t understand why that man looked at him with such hatred. Even if they were rivals, they were just doing their own part for their boss. To gather such hatred is ridiculous.
Shan Ming looked at him coldly. He would never lose his momentum before he was on stage.
‘Death Mask’ quickly turned his face away.
The first fight of the night begins!
The ‘Ice and Snow Brothers’ attacked the ‘Death Mask’ from left to right. One on the top and one on the bottom, making it impossible for the ‘Death Mask’ to avoid.
The ‘Death Mask’ did not move. Until when the two brothers were close enough to touch him, he suddenly jumped up in the air. His two long legs flew up and kicked the two brothers with a strong force on the side of the head. They were kicked directly to the ground.
After he landed, he propped himself up with his hands and jumped up as if he could fly. He rushed over and punched each of the unlucky brothers in the head and they immediately stopped moving.
Crazy and enthusiastic shouts erupted from the crowds. The entire underground garage vibrated accordingly.
Shan Ming twitched the corners of his mouth. The aggressive cells in his body were ready to move.
This ‘Death Mask’ really has powerful moves. He was fast, ruthless, and accurate. With only two moves, the two Russian bears were knocked down.
And Shan Ming could clearly see that the ‘Death Mask’ didn’t even exert his full strength.
Faced with this overwhelming victory, the crowd couldn’t restrain their excitement. They roared until their throats became hoarse. Their eyes were bloodshot and ‘Death Mask’ became their god, bringing them a pleasure that was even crazier than an orgasm!
The off-site staff quickly dragged the two brothers down.
Two blond beauties walked around the arena holding the name tags of the ‘Death Mask’, signalling to the audience the winner. Then, they jumped onto the stage, twisting their slender waists and fat hips and stuck their bodies to the body of ‘Death Mask’.
The audience yelled “Fuck them! Fuck them!”
After the fighters win, these girls would try to have sex in full view of the crowd. This has happened many times in this arena. These crazy behaviours without exception stimulate the nerves of the audience and tempt them to take more money out of their pockets.
‘Death Mask’ didn’t move. He just let two hot and sexy beauties rub their bodies against him.
Suddenly, one of the women stretched out a spiked hand and stabbed ‘Death Mask”s neck.
‘Death Mask’ tilted his head slightly, dodging the spike attack while the other woman kicked him on the neck to the ground.
The two of them rushed towards the ‘Death Mask’ together, attacking every vital point of the ‘Death Mask’ with their spiked gloved hands.
‘Death Mask’ rolled twice on the ground but then swept the two of them to the ground with one leg. He then jumped up and grabbed the legs of the two women and threw them under the ring.
Shan Ming is not interested in this scene. This can only deceive the inexperienced audiences. He knew it was rehearsed at a glance. It is estimated that Seika will praise the pair of these South American sisters in the future so that they will have some sort of reputation as soon as they come on stage. They earned the reputation for knocking ‘Death Mask’ to the ground.
After completing the rehearsed show, the host called for a half-hour break and asked everyone to re-bet their money.
The crowds were waiting for tonight’s highlight, which is the ultimate showdown between the Seika Group and the Mochizuki Group. The bet is the ownership of a district in Kyoto. There is no doubt that this will be a wonderful fight. It is not just a contest between two powerful fighters but also a contest between the two major yakuza forces in Kyoto for the title.
Even though it was already midnight, none of them felt tired. They were jumping and screaming, waiting for the next exciting death fight.
Job leaned down and whispered in Shan Ming’s ear, “Tiger Shark told me to tell you that the guys on the stage are not easy to deal with. We have already deployed the team on our side. Don’t try your best. Just leave as soon as you receive the signal.”
Shan Ming gave a soft “hmm”.
Half an hour passed quickly. Under the exaggeration of the host and the urging of the audience, Shan Ming walked step by step into the big iron cage and onto the bloody arena.
‘Death Mask’ stood opposite of him, watching him quietly. It was as if time had frozen. He just watched him walk towards him step by step.
Shan Ming shook his neck and did some warm-up exercises. He turned a deaf ear to the sounds from the outside world. His face was looking calm.
‘Death Mask’ moved. He took one step forward and then another step. But he didn’t stop until he was only two metres away from Shan Ming.
The battle has already begun. Shan Ming doesn’t want to play the game of staring at each other. Besides, being stared at by ‘Death Mask’ makes him feel very uncomfortable.
He exercised all his muscles and bones, feeling energetic. So he jumped up and attacked ‘Death Mask’.
Shan Ming is thirty-two years old this year. This is the peak period of his physical strength. Whether it is speed, strength or physical flexibility, he has reached the peak state any mercenary can achieve. When it comes to unarmed combat, he is not afraid of any human beings. As long as the other party is a human being.
He flew up and kicked at the face of the ‘Death Mask’ with a strong force. ‘Death Mask’ dodged backwards, narrowly avoiding it.
Shan Ming turned around and just as his left leg landed on the ground, his right leg rose again, without giving the opponent a chance to breathe. He kicked him with a strong force and speed. His movement was sharp and beautiful.
This time, he was still dodged by ‘Death Mask’. He blocked Shan Ming’s leg and punched Shan Ming’s shoulder. The two began to punch and kick and they fought fiercely. The movements were so fast that people’s eyes couldn’t keep up with them.
The more Shan Ming moved, the more he felt strange how this person knew so clearly about his fighting styles. It was as if he was playing with him, blocking every attack he made, but didn’t take the opportunity to attack back with all his strength. This made Shan Ming angry and his attacks became faster and more fierce. He aimed for all vital points, gradually pushing ‘Death Mask’ back to the edge of the ring.
The audience has never seen a person who can put the ‘Death Mask’ at a disadvantage. The crowd was so excited that their voices almost collapsed the entire underground garage! Especially those who bet on the underdog. Their eyes are bloodshot and their faces are flushed. They can’t wait to scream and break their throats.
Seeing that there was no way for ‘Death Mask’ to retreat, Shan Ming flew forward, using the hard tip of his shoe to kick towards the temple of ‘Death Mask’.
‘Death Mask’ suddenly squatted down and Shan Ming kicked the air in vain. He was in a bad mood and he had already returned his legs to step on the most vulnerable part of ‘Death Mask’’s vest spine. ‘Death Mask’ punched him in the hip bone. The punch was on his waist. These two heavy punches directly knocked Shan Ming to the ground. Half of his body was almost immobile.
‘Death Mask’ imprisoned his two hands behind his back while pressing his body forcefully on the ground, making Shan Ming unable to move. ‘Death Mask’ leaned down and when Shan Ming thought he was hallucinating in pain, a ghostly and cold voice could be heard by his ear, “Are you alright? Baba.”
