Chapter 613: Chapter 609: The Final Battle with the Pawnshop

The young man who was crushed to death by Qi Yu turned out to be Shi Guang in disguise.

The graduate who followed Song Lin and Wang Qiang, participating in the pursuit of Axi and Han Xue multiple times.

Shi Guang’s disguise and transformation were quite successful.

He had been lurking beside Qi Yu for so long without revealing the slightest flaw in his disguise.

But in the end, he died over a piece of information of unknown origin.

It somewhat had the taste of a regrettable loss of a talented individual.

If Shi Guang had enough time to grow, he would surely become a good detective like Song Lin and Wang Qiang in the future.

Unfortunately, today he died at the hands of the perverted Qi Yu.

The tiger of criminal investigation yet to roar in the forest has fallen on the path of fighting evil.

"Someone, take care of the body."

Qi Yu casually tossed the shattered wine bottle and turned to walk upstairs.

He didn’t see the deep sorrow in the eyes of the subordinate who came in behind him, looking at Shi Guang’s body.

——

Pawnshop Headquarters.

Fengdu Hall.

The battle between Taotie and Emperor Fengdu dazzled Fang Xiaocao and the others.

It was like watching a grand martial arts Kung Fu movie.

This was the real visual feast.

Although it lacked the glamorous special effects of movies, it thoroughly crushed those so-called big productions that spent money like water.

Emperor Fengdu, a nearly two-hundred-year-old Super Master, yet had techniques to maintain his youthful appearance.

His physique was erect and his muscles flowed smoothly.

Apart from his white hair and the wrinkles on his face, you couldn’t see any signs of old age.

Just by looking at his body, you might think he’s a handsome middle-aged man who works out regularly.

Fang Xiaocao was almost drooling watching him.

If the timing wasn’t inappropriate, she truly wanted to go over and ask Emperor Fengdu for the secret to his youthful looks.

In the exchange between Taotie and Emperor Fengdu, they abandoned the flashy moves.

It was all about speed against speed, entirely relying on muscle memory and reaction speed to fight.

In just a span of five minutes, both had sustained multiple injuries.

Taotie’s arms, back, and shoulders were all stabbed with various depth wounds by Emperor Fengdu’s sword.

His clothes were soaked with the stream of blood trickling down.

Emperor Fengdu also didn’t gain any advantage over Taotie.

His abdomen, thighs, and lower back all bore wounds.

Like Taotie, he had become a gourd of blood.

"Mantis, can Taotie win?"

Among the spectators there, Mantis had the highest martial arts attainment, so Fang Xiaocao naturally asked Mantis.

"Barring any accidents, it shouldn’t be a problem."

"Don’t look at them currently being equally matched, but don’t forget there’s a saying that youth triumphs in boxing."

"In a duel between two experts of the same level, under the same conditions, the younger one will definitely win."

Mantis answered Fang Xiaocao’s question with a smile.

Fang Xiaocao nodded thoughtfully, finding the reasoning sound.

As Fang Xiaocao and Mantis chatted, the two on the battlefield exchanged dozens more rounds.

Taotie’s arm was once again cut by Emperor Fengdu.

Adhering to the principle of courtesy demands reciprocity, Taotie also left a bloody hole in Emperor Fengdu’s abdomen.

As time passed, the battle between Taotie and Emperor Fengdu stretched to half an hour.

At this moment, both of their conditions visibly deteriorated.

Their speed had slowed significantly, clearly exhausted and struggling to hold on.

However, Taotie’s condition was evidently much better than Emperor Fengdu’s.

Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but admire them, worthy of being Super Masters.

In terms of stamina alone, they were invincible.

Ordinary people, let alone a nearly two-hundred-year-old elder, would exhaust themselves within three to five minutes of a fight.

Even first-class experts and top-tier masters, trying to maintain this intense battle rhythm would last at most half an hour before collapsing.

Taotie and Emperor Fengdu were like two tireless donkeys; though their speed had decreased, they were still maintaining a fast-paced duel.

Knowing both were carrying wounds, their wounds had continued to bleed ever since they started getting injured.

Even though as Super Strong individuals, their muscles were tight enough to automatically contract and slow down the blood loss without deliberate effort.

Achieving the effect of stopping the bleeding.

But with so many wounds bleeding for half an hour, any limit set would lead to excessive blood loss.

Now Taotie and Emperor Fengdu were completely relying on their willpower, preventing fainting or other adverse reactions due to excessive blood loss.

Huffing and puffing——

After another ten minutes of battle, Emperor Fengdu was gasping like an ox.

In contrast, though Taotie was also slightly panting, he wasn’t like Emperor Fengdu, who looked like a fish out of water.

Hehe——

"Old man, are you done?"

Taotie wiped the sweat from his face and taunted with a smile.

"Less talk, continue!"

Emperor Fengdu, being a stubborn old man who refused to acknowledge age, immediately bucked up upon hearing Taotie say he couldn’t do it, preparing to fight again.

"Stubborn as a mule."

Taotie mumbled and, without politeness, charged at Emperor Fengdu with his sword.

Emperor Fengdu ripped apart his blood-soaked clothing with a single tear, revealing a streamlined set of muscles, and engaged in close combat with Taotie.

Seeing this, Taotie also tore apart his clothes.

Emulating Xu Chu, he fought shirtless.

In the blink of an eye, the two clashed again, fighting without resolution.

After another twenty minutes of combat, their fight had lasted over an hour.

Even with their extraordinary stamina, they both had reached their limits.

Taotie was faring better, but Emperor Fengdu was at his limit.

The sword in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds with every swing.

Seeing this, Taotie simply threw away his sword: "Old man, let’s have a go with Kung Fu?"

Upon hearing Taotie’s suggestion, Emperor Fengdu smiled.

This suggestion suited him well.

With their stamina exhausted, the weapons in their hands had long become a burden.

Not to mention injuring others, it was already fortunate not to hurt themselves.

Emperor Fengdu directly discarded his sword: "Since you sincerely ask for guidance, this old man will grant your request."

Emperor Fengdu was also someone who would never let up verbally, even at this moment, not forgetting to gain a verbal advantage.

Hehe——

Taotie responded with a cold smile but did not expose him.

In fact, Taotie somewhat admired this stubborn old man.

Stretching out, Taotie advanced aggressively, swinging his fist straight at Emperor Fengdu.

Emperor Fengdu assumed the starting stance of Xingyi Boxing and engaged Taotie once more.

The two fought with Kung Fu for another ten minutes, when suddenly Emperor Fengdu’s face turned deathly pale.

He staggered backward in multiple steps.

The next second.

Wah——

Emperor Fengdu spit out a mouthful of blood, his spirit instantly deflated, and he slumped weakly to the ground.

Taotie stood with his hands over each other, without pursuing.

He knew this was Emperor Fengdu showing signs of imminent death.

Taotie had sensed the abnormality in Emperor Fengdu since before they discarded their weapons, otherwise Taotie wouldn’t have indulged him for so long.
