Qin Feng knew simply claiming this guy was a crook wasn"t going to be enough. Saying it based only on a gut feeling just wasn"t going to cut it. Zhou Liang wasn"t going to admit it, and Zhu Fei wasn"t likely to believe it. Therefore, Qin Feng had to make a strong impression. He"d have to rely on simple and crude verbal abuse or even blows to show his true face, because people would always show their true nature under extreme pressure. Only then, would Zhu Fei understand exactly what kind of person this Zhou Liang was.
Zhou Liang smirked with disdain. "In order to let you understand who you"re dealing with, you should know I am a disciple of an 18th-generation master of Thai boxing."
Thai boxing, as everyone knows, is a very effective martial art. It enjoys a respectable reputation worldwide. Especially in recent years in the underground boxing scene, a Thai boxing master consecutively defeated many powerful opponents from Europe and the United States to great acclaim. Thai boxing is famous for its attacks. It does not emphasize attack and defense at the same time, but focuses on delivering a fatal strike, especially using the elbows and knees. One solid hit was usually enough to knock out the opponent.
Qin Feng was interested. "Is that so? I"d love to try Thai boxing. How about I take you on with military full-body boxing?"
"What?"
Zhou Liang laughed, "Military full-body boxing? Are you talking about basic bootcamp techniques? Haha! If you repent now, I won"t go too hard on you."
"Let"s see, then," Qin Feng rebuked with cold eyes. "The loser stays away from Zhu Fei?"
"Agreed."
The second Zhou Liang spoke, he moved in for the kill. He did not bother with the traditional Thai boxing discipline of clasping the hands together in a gesture of comity before the fight.
It was obvious that this guy was underhanded and cruel, and his moves were also very focused on elbow and knee strikes aimed at Qin Feng"s vitals. If hit, he was very likely to be incapacitated instantly.
Qin Feng riposted and retreated. His left and right arms blocked the rain of blows. He used the stairs for traction, climbing up, while Zhou Liang got closer step by step, leaning forward to attack Qin Feng"s lower body, trying to knock him down.
After Zhou Liang"s first three moves, he found that he couldn"t even touch a single hair on Qin Feng"s body. He started panicking.
How is this possible? This guy seemed really meek; I didn"t think he would be so fierce! He was only defending just now. If he attacks, I"m done for!
Behind Zhou Liang, Zhu Fei was screaming, "You two stop fighting! Don"t fight!"
Qin Feng began his counterattack. He had already climbed up a whole flight of stairs. Now, when he fighting downwards, he bent down to put pressure on Zhou Liang. Suddenly, Zhou Liang found that his Thai boxing could not be put to use at all. He was half-leaning back, struggling to cope with the sudden onslaught. He had no chance to attack.
Zhou Liang knew that he had to take the high ground to take the initiative, so that he could use his best kick moves. Thinking of this, he jumped up to the stainless steel handrail, about to somersault over Qin Feng and land behind his back.
He didn"t realize that Qin Feng had already antic.i.p.ated this move. He turned about with a very swift roundhouse kick, striking right on Zhou Liang"s kneecap. Although he was prepared, he still failed to avoid it. Zhou Liang staggered and collapsed on the stone steps. Had it not been for his quick reaction, he might have fallen to the bottom of the stairwell.
After only Qin Feng"s second move, Zhou Liang was brought down to kneel. In fact, his plan was to put Qin Feng down within five moves, but when Zhou Liang tried to pull off his trick to get around him, he left himself completely exposed. With Qin Feng"s strength, beating an opponent to his knees was nothing.
To be fair, this opponent was still quite formidabla. At least he could show a momentum of his own. If any other ordinary soldier tried to use military full-body boxing against him, he would easily take them down. However, Qin Feng was an outstanding Special Forces operative of the Republic and had experienced quite a few battles to the death. Both his fighting experience and strength were far above Zhou Liang"s.
Zhou Liang staggered up painfully, holding the handrail for support. His knee was. .h.i.t hard, crushing his patella. Nevertheless, he still got up, gritting his teeth, and wanted to continue fighting with Qin Feng.
Seeing this, Qin Feng jumped back down the steps toward Zhu Fei. "I advise you to rest, or your knee might suffer irreparable damage."
"No! I"m taking you down today! Get back here!" Zhou Liang roared and leaped, somersaulting through the air.
This was the most dangerous move in Thai boxing. Ordinary Thai boxing trainees had no chance of learning it. The legs rotate at full speed and the body turns over 720 degrees in midair, landing onto the target"s neck and then twisting sharply. The opponent"s neck breaks instantly.
This was a forbidden technique in Thai boxing. On the one hand, it was difficult to learn. A disciple without considerable talent would not be able to master it. On the other hand, it was too lethal. Using this move meant killing your opponent.
But Zhou Liang had no choice. He could not let himself be humiliated in front of Zhu Fei. Moreover, he now had an injured patella. If he used ordinary techniques to fight Qin Feng, he would have no chance. Only this move was powerful enough to overcome the enemy!
Qin Feng saw this and pushed away Zhu Fei and squatted down with his arms above his head. This was a death hold. He had seen it in an underground boxing ring in Vietnam. At the time, a Thai boxing master named A San used it against the reigning Australian boxing champion. A San was already beaten, with a broken nose and a face covered with blood. The Australian boxing champion had kept a record of 28 consecutive victories in underground boxing. He was nearly two meters tall and his long kicks could break the sky. The fight was fierce and compa.s.sionless. A San had signed a life and death agreement - if he did not use the death hold, he would die. At the key moment, Qin Feng watched A San leap into the air and violently spin himself toward his opponent. He clasped the Australian boxing champion"s neck, there was a loud snap, and the champion fell to the ground. He trembled a few times, then died.
As Zhou Liang"s legs were clamping over him, Qin Feng thrust out his fist and accurately hit his ankle bone. Zhou Liang, who had completely lost his center of gravity, was flung wildly off course, crashing into the fire escape door behind Qin Feng.
The door creaked and then fell heavily on the floor tiles.
His ankle was twisted nearly 90 degrees, pieces of broken bone sticking out of the skin. Zhu Fei"s and Zhou Liang"s screams echoed across the entire hospital building.
