Free Web NovelChapter 187: Chapter 187: Despicable Means, Poisoning Ye Ming _1
After using poison, Jiang Long naturally changed his strategy as well.
He had initially planned to have someone utterly defeat Ye Ming, but considering Ye Ming’s brilliant performance and his sudden rise to prominence, even if he sent someone to beat Ye Ming and had Jiang Dachuan claim victory in the end, the audience below would not accept it.
If he was to do it, then he had to do it thoroughly, only by having Jiang Dachuan overpower Ye Ming could he win the crowd’s acceptance.
Jiang Long was extremely excited, and as he thought about defeating Ye Ming, his heart already started to itch with anticipation.
On the arena, with the second punch, Ye Ming’s body flew up high, heading towards the edge of the stage.
The crowd held their breath in their throats, watching intently.
Yang Shuo, however, smiled confidently. Of course, he wouldn’t let Ye Ming just fly out like that, so in a flash, he appeared mid-air.
Ye Ming’s weightless body was once again struck by Yang Shuo, and sent crashing back onto the stage.
With a loud bang, Ye Ming’s body harshly embedded into the stage, creating a large pit.
"Not dead yet? Your body really is tough, alright then, I’ll hold back no longer," Yang Shuo said, seeing that Ye Ming was still alive, his expression grew even more sinister.
In the stands, Xu Lele finally could not help but stand up, wanting to stop the fight.
Xia Ningning hastily held her back and asked, "Le Le, what are you doing?"
Xu Lele said earnestly, "I have to stop the match, Ye Ming can’t fight anymore, someone could get killed!"
Xia Ningning quickly dissuaded her, "Absolutely not, interfering now is not a wise choice; you would effectively be forfeiting the match for Ye Ming."
"Then what should I do? I can’t just watch something happen to Ye Ming!" Xu Lele was somewhat anxious.
Xia Ningning pointed towards Ye Ming and advised, "There must be some trickery involved, but look at him now, he’s already doing much better than before."
Xu Lele looked towards Ye Ming, and after the smoke had cleared, Ye Ming’s disheveled body stood up from the pit.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Although he looked disheveled, his complexion seemed much better, and he was able to move freely.
He looked up at Yang Shuo, cracked a grim smile, and said, "Is this all the strength an Earth Rank Fighter has?"
Yang Shuo became furious, "You are at the end of your tether, yet you still dare to spout such nonsense! Die!"
He charged again, his mind now a total blank, the only thought was that Ye Ming had to die, completely forgetting Jiang Long’s earlier instructions.
Despite successive strikes, Ye Ming could still stand up, something Yang Shuo could not accept.
Ye Ming no longer played the sitting duck, his gaze locked onto Yang Shuo.
As Yang Shuo reached him, Ye Ming suddenly counterattacked, landing a punch directly on his opponent’s chest.
With a crack, four of Yang Shuo’s ribs broke, and his body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, falling off the stage.
The referee looked at Jiang Long with some difficulty, then still announced, "In this match, Jiang Long wins."
It didn’t take long for Yang Shuo’s body to be carried off by several doctors.
On the arena, Ye Ming was still standing. frёeωebɳovel.com
His eyes became even brighter, even more spirited.
Whatever didn’t kill him would only make him stronger; underhanded tactics were useless against him!
He was full of high spirits as he loudly called out, "Next, who will it be?"
Up in the stands, Jiang Long showed a gratified smile and said to his son beside him, "Dachuan, get ready to go down."
"Ye Ming is deeply poisoned, and if he dares to be so active, it will only hasten the spread of the poison."
"Now he’s about to die. You must seize this opportunity and defeat him before he breathes his last!"
Hearing Jiang Long’s words, Jiang Dachuan felt reassured, and every pore in his body exuded confidence.
Like the other experts, he leaped gracefully and landed firmly on the stage. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"I am Jiang Dachuan, here to battle with you!"
Jiang Dachuan had a confident smile on his face.
As soon as he appeared, many people exclaimed in surprise.
"Isn’t that the Martial Artist Association President Jiang Long’s son, young master Jiang?"
"I’ve heard that young master Jiang is a rare talent, a genius youth, who at a tender age has already reached the strength of a Peak Grandmaster."
"After all, with the Jiang Family’s substantial resources, they’ve bought countless precious elixirs for their son. He couldn’t be ordinary even if he wanted to."
"That’s too obvious. Those people just now were probably sent by Jiang Long to deliberately wear down Ye Ming, then swoop in for the final blow at the end, isn’t that..."
"Alright, shut your mouth. It wouldn’t be good if we were overheard."
The actions of the Jiang father and son duo had clearly aroused the dissatisfaction of many, provoking a chorus of scornful voices.
Yet Jiang Long and Jiang Dachuan acted as if they heard nothing.
As long as they achieved their goal, what did it matter if their means were unscrupulous?
Jiang Dachuan didn’t even bother to respond; he didn’t need the title if he could make Ye Ming pay a painful price.
Ye Ming stretched his limbs contemptuously while looking at Jiang Dachuan before him and questioned, "You think you’re up for challenging me?"
Jiang Dachuan grinned and, with an arrogant look on his face, pointed at Ye Ming’s nose and said loudly, "Ye Ming, don’t try to act tough. You’re already at the end of your rope. You’d better speak politely to me; perhaps I’ll spare your dog’s life."
"Now, I’m giving you a chance. Just kneel down, kowtow in apology to me, and promise never to approach Xu Lele again. If you behave, I might not kill you."
With a disdainful expression on his face, Ye Ming sneered at him and asked, "Don’t you think you’re daydreaming?"
"An Earth Rank Fighter has already been defeated by me. What makes you think you can kill me? Confidence is good, but not the blind arrogance you have."
Jiang Dachuan wasn’t afraid at all and said with frivolity, "Ye Ming, Ye Ming, still trying to pretend with me? I know far better than you what condition your body is in."
"Let me tell you the truth, the poison in your body was my doing. That toxin is extremely dreadful. If you had just stood still it might have been okay, but you had to show off and send Yang Shuo flying. Now, the toxin will spread throughout your body immediately. You’re just barely holding on."
"I just need to lift a finger, and I could poke you to death!"
Jiang Dachuan took control of the stage, like a performer, relishing in verbally trampling on Ye Ming.
"Young man, you don’t know the value of keeping a low profile, of concealing your strength, and this is the consequence!"
"Did you think our Jiang Family are vegetarians? To let a country bumpkin like you take the title? Utterly delusional."
"The world is perilous, and the human heart is unfathomable. You, lad, still need several more years of training. I’m giving you this chance to live a few more years!"
