Chapter 414: Chapter 298 You guys are really good actors

Regardless of what Master Pei was thinking at that moment, Xu Dalin was ready to spring into action.

As soon as the word "Start" was announced, he already had his straight punch prepared, aimed directly at Master Pei’s face.

He intended to score a knockout with the opening move, shattering his opponent’s reputation while also boosting his own.

Although Muay Thai is better known for its kicks and elbow strikes, this guy clearly knew Master Liu’s background and restrained himself accordingly.

After all, if he were to seriously injure Master Liu, wouldn’t he be the one to suffer in the end?

Master Liu’s reaction was quick; his thoughts rapidly turned as he quickly came up with a strategy for today.

But when his opponent’s fist, as big as a sandbag, came flying towards his face, he couldn’t help but step back and instinctively tried to block it with his hand.

The technique employed by Master Liu was commonly known as arm blocking, a defensive method often seen in street fights, an innate skill everyone seems to master from birth.

Now, this skill was put to use by Master Liu against a professional Muay Thai champion, and the outcome was predictably disappointing.

With Xu Dalin’s speed, Master Liu had no time to block; the fist was already in his face, and his defense was too slow to be effective.

A victorious smile began to form on Xu Dalin’s face.

In the live stream, many viewers began to worry after seeing this scene unfold.

Although Master Pei had indeed insulted the intelligence of the audience, one couldn’t help but think that taking such a punch would probably have serious consequences.

Xu Dalin’s ferocious punch was too fast for Master Pei to react, but someone else made a move.

Not far away, watching from atop a wall, Zhang Xiaoman snorted coldly and released an already prepared Dark Energy Technique directly aimed at Xu Dalin’s fist.

The attack he used was naturally a Dark Energy Shock.

What followed was a scene that stunned the onlookers.

Xu Dalin’s straight punch, powerful midway, suddenly halted; not only that, his entire body shuddered as if hit by an invisible force, his feet left the ground, and he was sent flying backward.

Everything happened so fast, in the blink of an eye; most people hadn’t even realized what had happened before Xu Dalin had already fallen to the ground.

To the onlookers, it appeared as though Xu Dalin threw a punch, Master Liu slowly raised his hand to block, and then, the formidable man was sent flying.

The scene was even more exaggerated than the viral videos that had been circulating online.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the crowd let out a collective gasp of astonishment.

No one had anticipated the turn of events; how could the Muay Thai champion, Xu Dalin, be defeated in one move?

At that moment, one thought sprung to everyone’s mind—

This guy must be acting!

The surprised young Taoist looked down at Xu Dalin lying on the ground, with an expression of utter disbelief on his face.

What’s going on?

Wasn’t Xu Dalin one of their own?

Why had he turned his back on them? Could it be that he had been bribed by the old man?

Was this supposed to be some sort of Mission: Impossible play?

He could hardly believe that a Muay Thai expert would be knocked out with a single blow by that raggedy old Master Pei.

Xu Dalin was utterly bewildered, his shock undoubtedly far more intense than that of anyone else.

Others might assume he was in cahoots with Pei Laoliu, acting out a scene, but as the person involved, how could he not know the truth?

His punch just now had been real, and he definitely hadn’t been acting; he was genuinely throwing punches.

But just as he was about to land a hit on his opponent, a powerful force suddenly surged from his arm.

Immediately after, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a moving car, his body uncontrollably flying backward.

He had barely recovered his senses when a sharp pain suddenly shot through his right hand.

Xu Dalin looked down and saw his whole arm twisted in a strange angle, his fingers numb, looking as if the bones were broken.

"Ah!!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream startled everyone. By the time they realized what was happening, they discovered that Xu Dalin was the one who had screamed.

Xu Dalin continued to wail, clutching his arm; this terrifying sight prompted a few friends who had come with him to quickly check on him. Seeing his ghastly injury, they panicked.

"Doctor! Doctor! Get over here, it’s dislocated!"

Someone shouted; they had brought a doctor with them, evidently in anticipation of potential injuries to Pei Laoliu.

The doctor and his two assistants rushed over. Upon seeing the injured arm, the doctor’s complexion changed, and he quickly crouched down to tend to the wound, exclaiming:

"No, no, this isn’t just a simple dislocation! The bone might be broken! We must go to the hospital immediately!"

"What? The bone is broken?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking back and forth between Xu Dalin and Pei Laoliu, finding the whole situation utterly absurd.

The old Master was also filled with incredulity.

However, he suddenly changed his expression, thinking of a possibility, and couldn’t help but curse inwardly, accusing the others of shamelessness.

"I’ve miscalculated, I’ve miscalculated. I never expected these fellows to be here to pull a scam! Master Liu, I’ve been in the Martial World for so many years, yet today I’m falling for a trick by a junior. Times have indeed changed for the worse..."

Master Liu felt he might be in trouble today and couldn’t help but point at the man opposite and scold:

"Young man, don’t be disrespectful to Martial Arts Morality. Why are you trying to scam a man in his seventies? There’s a whole crowd watching here! I advise you to behave yourself!"

Everyone: "..."

By now, the surrounding crowd had erupted into chaos, and the live stream had blown up.

"Damn, who would’ve thought the plot could take such a twist? I thought I was just here to watch a rigged match, but they’ve put on another performance!"

"Honestly, full marks for that acting. Compared to those pretty-boy celebrities, Brother Da Li is just explosive in his performance. Winning a gold award wouldn’t be a problem at all! I didn’t think you’d go to such lengths for hype, I admit defeat. Just for that scream, I’ll concede this round!"

"No way... But doesn’t it look real to me? Didn’t you see Xu Dalin’s arm is broken? Fake wouldn’t be so dramatic, right...?"

"Bro upstairs, you’re too naive. Ever heard of something called prosthetics? You don’t actually believe Master Pei knows the Qianyuan Tai Chi Hand, do you?"

"..."

The live chat was flooding with barrage of messages, and the onlookers at the scene naturally refused to believe it.

Especially the young Taoist’s group, who now thought they’d been played by Xu Dalin and Pei Laoliu together.

A young man pushed through the crowd and stood out angrily pointing at Pei Laoliu, shouting:

"Good for you! You’re in this together, putting on an act! I don’t believe today that you, an old geezer, know any martial arts. I’ll fight you! Let’s see how you’ll continue to act!"
