Chapter 966: Chapter 966 Bullies Outnumbering the Weak

Now Gu Fan had one leg pressing down on the burly man’s neck, making him very uncomfortable -- it was also one of the reasons why he couldn’t get up.

"My god, this guy is too strong," Gu Fan thought to himself as he tried to break the man’s arm to weaken his combat ability. But unexpectedly, the opponent was robust and immensely strong, and seemed on the verge of forcefully breaking free from the Cross Lock.

At this moment, the other four saw that Gu Fan had truly subdued the burly man and immediately joined in to attack, punching and kicking, delivering heavy blows to the burly man.

"You bastards!" Anger gave the burly man even more strength, and he shook off Gu Fan’s restraint in one move, then managed to stand up with effort, grabbing one person by the collar and lifting him high before throwing him out of the ring.

With one less opponent, everyone was again intimidated by the burly man’s daunting presence, hesitating to move in for a while.

But after so many blows, the burly man was in great pain, and his movements were becoming sluggish, something Gu Fan quickly noticed. So, Gu Fan sprinted forward and delivered a flying kick that sent the burly man stumbling, nearly falling over.

Seeing this, the others knew that the burly man was no longer in fighting condition and attacked again, pummeling him and giving him a hard time.

"Get lost, all of you!" the burly man yelled, swinging fists and feet, staggering three men.

However, Gu Fan noticed that the burly man’s strength had significantly decreased; he no longer sent people flying too far and knew that victory was in sight.

The burly man also noticed Gu Fan and became furious. A big part of why the situation had turned out this way was because of this kid, so, fuming with rage, he went after Gu Fan.

"Alright, take this move," Gu Fan declared, assuming the Cross Lock stance once more, instantly making the burly man, who had suffered before, cautious and slowing down his movements again.

Gu Fan did not choose to engage head-on but instead moved around to draw time. With a four-against-one setup, depleting the opponent’s energy was the best strategy.

But the burly man was in hot pursuit, relentlessly following Gu Fan and giving him no chance to rest properly, almost cornering him.

After a brief rest, the other three immediately came over to assist Gu Fan, with all four joining forces to attack.

"Alright, come on, who’s afraid of whom?" the burly man enjoyed this head-on confrontation, swinging vigorously to send one man flying out of the ring.

Only three were left, and the situation looked grim, but Gu Fan did not give up. Spotting a flaw in the burly man’s punch, he grabbed the man’s arm again and applied the Cross Lock, pinning his opponent down.

"You little punk!" the burly man was furious, but this time he had already spent a lot of his strength, so breaking free became even harder.

Seizing this opportunity, the remaining two gave it their all, hitting the burly man with punches and kicks, sparing no effort.

"Keep going, keep it up!" Gu Fan exerted himself, but he still couldn’t break the burly man’s arm and was running out of strength himself, so he had no choice but to let go.

The burly man finally had a chance to stand up, but he was no longer agile. Having his arm twisted twice by Gu Fan, although it wasn’t broken, his arm was affected and he couldn’t swing it as he pleased.

But even with just one arm to fight with, the burly man was formidable, exchanging blows with Gu Fan and the other two, both sides fighting fiercely, each giving as good as they got.

In this matchup of experts, the martial arts competition involving ten people had started, and this battle was the most exciting yet, with everyone’s eyes wide open and necks stretched to watch.

Lord Xiong was puzzled, "That move that kid just used, was it something you taught him?"

In response, Mo Yun was also completely baffled, "How could that be, how could I have taught him such a maneuver? I’m also very surprised, where on earth did this kid learn that move from?"

On the other side, Jin Yi asked Lu Bei, "Is that move also from the Devil Cult? It seems quite powerful, doesn’t it?"

Lu Bei shook his head, "I’ve never seen anyone from the Devil Cult use that move before."

At this moment, Gu Fan and the other two men were caught in a bitter struggle. They traded blows with the muscular brute several times, but the result was that the three of them couldn’t hold on and kept losing ground.

Seeing his chance, the muscular brute picked one of them up and threw him out of the ring, leaving only one comrade at Gu Fan’s side.

"Geez, he’s really tough to deal with," Gu Fan fought with diminishing confidence, as he was quickly being pushed to the edge of the platform.

Everyone was pessimistic about Gu Fan’s chances; everyone thought Gu Fan was sure to lose. However, Lord Xiong was very solemn, with a premonition that the outcome of this Martial Arts Competition would be utterly unexpected.

As Gu Fan’s last ally was knocked out of the ring, the muscular brute had only Gu Fan left in front of him, the very person he hated most.

With the muscular brute’s strength, he could easily have won with ease, but now one of his arms was out of commission, his body was covered in bruises, his face was swollen like a pig’s head, and even his eyes were puffed up, making his vision somewhat blurry.

"Come on!" Gu Fan gestured with his hand, signaling his opponent to bring it on.

Everyone below held their breath, knowing that the victory would soon be revealed. Would it be Gu Fan with his surprise move to win, or the stronger muscular brute?

"I’ll punch you into the air," the muscular brute bellowed in rage, then sent his fist roaring towards Gu Fan, but slowed down a lot because of his injuries.

Gu Fan simply dodged the punch, then grabbed the brute’s arm, shocking him into thinking Gu Fan was about to use that move again, and he simply fell over. Hoping to press down on Gu Fan first with his body.

However, Gu Fan used a different move this time. He grabbed the muscular brute’s arm and leaned backward, trying to pull the brute down with him. Normally, Gu Fan might not have had enough strength to do so, but the muscular brute’s own attempt to fall played into his hands, saving Gu Fan a lot of effort.

Then Gu Fan planted one foot on the brute’s body, pushed off with another, and flipped the muscular brute over, hurling him out of the ring.

"My goodness, no way, he actually won like that." Everyone was first shocked, unable to believe the outcome of the Martial Arts Competition; the strongest had lost, and the weakest was the last to laugh.

Then everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, "Kid, you’re impressive, you really have a knack for this."

Both Lu Bei and Jin Yi were dumbstruck—such an outlandish win. Now they clearly saw Gu Fan’s actual strength, which wasn’t anything impressive, but he had truly won.

Mo Yun couldn’t help but laugh. Previously, she had little faith in Gu Fan, but now she truly had to take a fresh look at him.

The most annoyed person was the leader of the Xuanjian Sect. During this Martial Arts Competition, he had arranged many people to clear obstacles for him, and this muscular brute was the strongest of them all. It was unexpected that he would lose amidst such high-level fighters and moreover, to a third-rate expert.
