After the words left Li Wei"s mouth, the soldiers turned to each other and looked around until a burly middle-aged man stepped forward. He was only wearing a tank top so his rippling muscles were visible.
Li Wei smiled faintly, good looking muscles didn"t necessarily mean they were good for use. The key point about muscle strength was its explosive power. Just like Ye Qian, Li Wei"s muscles were not very apparent, but the explosive power of his muscles were very strong. Naturally it was because, just like Ye Qian, he also cultivated anjin.
The burly man glanced Li Wei over and clenched and unclenched his fists. He said, "Bro, careful now."
Li Wei smiled faintly and raised his arms up as he got into a fighting stance.
The burly man couldn"t help getting angry when he saw how calm and indifferent Li Wei was being. He roared and charged forward. Ye Qian watched this scene with a faint smile. In a fight, one must avoid getting hot-tempered and impatient, just like in ancient sword fights, be sure to remain calm and composed, or else one"s attacks would be full of mistakes, making the person only end in defeat.
Li Wei didn"t make any movement as he watched the burly man charge towards himself, only calmly keeping his eyes forward. The soldiers watching them could already picture Li Wei being punched into the air by the burly man. They couldn"t help feeling inwardly pleased. So the Wolf Fang unexpectedly could get frightened into paralysis.
Just as the burly man"s fist was about to make contact with Li Wei, Li Wei finally made a move. He stepped to the side by a little and the burly man staggered forward. Li Wei effortlessly followed up with a hand chop to the burly man"s neck, then turned around and gave the burly man a kick on the back. The burly man was flung into the air like a dead leaf, then heavily plopped on the ground, completely unconscious.
Everyone except Ye Qian was stunned. With barely any movement Li Wei had effortlessly defeated the opponent. This was too inconceivable in their eyes. w.a.n.g De Shen thought to himself, "The Wolf Fang deserve to be Wolf Fang, their single person combat ability lived up to its reputation."
Li Wei leisurely walked over to the burly man"s p.r.o.ne figure and reached out to pinch his neck. The burly man slowly regained consciousness. Then he remembered what just happened and had a felt a lingering fear, but he accepted his defeat graciously, not becoming dejected over it. From his point of view, Li Wei was a true strong expert, to be defeated by such an expert was not shameful.
Watching Li Wei enjoy himself gave Ye Qian an urge to fight as well. He grinned at w.a.n.g De Shen and said, "Let me have a go, I haven"t sparred in a long time, I"m afraid I might be a little rusty."
Of course w.a.n.g De Shen knew that Ye Qian was only being modest. An ordinary member of the Wolf Fang was already so impressive, then how much stronger could the Wolf King Ye Qian be? But w.a.n.g De Shen did not stop him. After all this was just comparing notes, he really wanted to see Ye Qian"s skill too.
Ye Qian approached the group of soldiers with a harmless smile on his face. "More of you should come out, let"s see, you, you, you… and you, 10 of you step forward."
Li Wei smiled lightly from his position on the sidelines, w.a.n.g De Shen was a little worried, wasn"t Ye Qian being too overconfident. Even if the Wolf Fang were really good at close-range combat, oftentimes one had to rely on making good use of one"s environment and stealthiness. In this sparring training session, being able to fight 1 vs 10 was a little too hard to believe. Li Wei wasn"t worried at all. If Ye Qian couldn"t even handle these bunch of people then he didn"t deserve to be the Wolf Fang"s leader, and didn"t deserve to be called every country"s biggest headache, Wolf King Ye Qian.
If they had been defeated by Li Wei earlier they wouldn"t have considered it a loss of face, after all it was 1 vs 1. But now Ye Qian had challenged ten of them at once so they couldn"t help feeling scorned. They stepped forward angrily. If they didn"t have feel indignant towards this treatment then they weren"t fit to be called soldiers anyway.
The ten people formed a circle, surrounding Ye Qian, they moved about slowly in their formation. Ye Qian stood still in place, the smile on his face was gone and it was replaced by a very serious expression, a streak of flight flashed across his eyes. Ye Qian launched forward like an arrow loosed from its bow. The saying "like a maiden when calm, like a nimble rabbit when on the move" was very appropriate for Ye Qian.
Even though every member of the Wolf Fang undergo systematic hand to hand combat training, there was more investment in the mastery of combat skills in speed, accuracy, ferocity and the one hit kill. Ye Qian was an expert in these things, add to that his unique anjin technique, he could often display large destructive power against his enemies.
w.a.n.g De Shen stared in shock, not believing what he just saw. Ye Qian was like one of those ancient martial arts experts, flitting back and forth among his opponents, the sound of shrieks would be heard one after another. It only took a short two minutes for all of the ten people to be on the ground, losing all their ability to fight.
This was only Ye Qian going easy on them, it was not a life or death struggle. Ye Qian"s strikes weren"t very fierce, or else even adding 10 more of them still wouldn"t be a match for him.
The soldiers were now completely won over after witnessing this spectacle. The only reason a person would have such bearing is if he had the strength to back it. The Wolf Fang truly lived up to their reputation. If these people were to find out that this person in front of them was the leader of the Wolf Fang, Wolf King Ye Qian, they would not only not feel ashamed, but would feel extremely satisfied. After all, how many people could say that they sparred with Wolf King Ye Qian, it was a great privilege.
w.a.n.g De Shen walked over and patted Ye Qian on the shoulder, "Little boss, your old brother has been completely won over, Wolf King Ye Qian"s name is not in vain."
Ye Qian smiled faintly. The reason why he joined in the sparring was not only to simply to be complemented, sure he wanted to scratch an itch too, but the real reason was so he could take this opportunity to intimidate w.a.n.g De Shen, making him be more sure of cooperating with the Wolf Fang. "Fighting is a skill every member of the Wolf Fang must have mastery over, it"s nothing worth mentioning." Ye Qian replied indifferently.
That night, w.a.n.g De Shen was just as hospitable as the night before in entertaining Ye Qian and Li Wei as his guests. During the meal, w.a.n.g De Shen received a call, then he relayed to Ye Qian and Li Wei that they had received news now about Liu Tian Chen. Ye Qian and Li Wei immediately became very excited and asked for Liu Tian Chen"s location.
After a pause of silence, w.a.n.g De Shen replied, "Based on the news my brothers have gathered, a few days ago an intense battle had occurred in Lashu. One side was a group of Burmese Communist guerrillas, the other part must be the person you are looking for. The large news media in Burma have been reporting about it these past few days, that the battle then was really intense, at least hundreds perished. Little boss, you must prepare your heart for the worst."
