Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 772: The Showdown Atop the Mountain

Liu Lianyu reached the very top where there was a platform that showed signs of human alteration.

Liu Lianyu stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance as night had fully fallen and the rain had ceased, leaving everything around him utterly silent.

"Do you know what it feels like when the person you love most leaves you?" Liu Lianyu asked with heavy sorrow.

Xiang Yu stood five meters away from Liu Lianyu, also with his hands clasped behind his back.

"You should have made better choices, this is too extreme," Xiang Yu said, also looking into the distance.

"It seems you’ve never experienced that kind of gut-wrenching pain. Back then, Xinyu was harmed. Not only did they not punish the perpetrator, they ended up catching me. I hated them," Liu Lianyu said with a light laugh.

The "they" Liu Lianyu referred to was naturally the unfair treatment by the relevant authorities.

"After I escaped, I founded the Evil God. My initial thought was to create a world where fairness, justice, and crime did not exist. I just couldn’t stand their hypocrisy," Liu Lianyu explained.

Xiang Yu stood there without speaking. Perhaps Liu Lianyu’s intentions were good at first, but as the Evil God grew, so did the number of its followers, and their thoughts began to change until it evolved into the organization it had become.

The Evil God gave people faith and hope for a life worth living, but at the same time, it did some utterly unconscionable things.

"Later, I killed them all, their entire families. I felt no joy in that moment, no relief," said Liu Lianyu, talking to himself.

He spoke a great deal as if he had finally found a friend to whom he could open up. These words had been pent up in his heart for many years. Now that they were spoken, he felt much lighter.

After Liu Lianyu finished sharing, he then turned to face Xiang Yu and said, "You’re not simple. I’ve investigated your background, and I suspect you’ve been sent by the higher-ups to clean up people like us. In other words, you’re an undercover agent."

Xiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, then he smiled lightly and did not deny it.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s reaction, Liu Lianyu knew what he had said was true. He gave a smile, took off his coat, and laid it on the ground, also placing his white service pistol on the ground.

As the gun hit the ground, it accidentally discharged, breaking the silence of the night with a loud bang.

Liu Lianyu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Even products from reputable manufacturers can misfire."

Xiang Yu also removed his coat and threw it onto the ground. The two men seemed to have an unspoken understanding.

Meanwhile, Tie Zhuzi and his group heard the gunshot from below the mountain and could no longer remain calm; they quickly rushed up the mountain. At the same time, he also had to be cautious of Liu Lianyu’s four bodyguards on the side.

Tie Zhuzi ran upwards with greatest speed knowing that Xiang Yu didn’t have a gun on him—the shot must have come from Liu Lianyu.

The few of them quickly reached the top and saw Xiang Yu and Liu Lianyu, both without their coats, standing there upright.

Gasping for breath after the climb, Tie Zhuzi was relieved to see Xiang Yu was safe, but they didn’t understand what the two men were up to and why they had taken off their clothes.

"You guys..." Han Rumei also expressed her confusion.

Xiang Yu looked from Liu Lianyu to Tie Zhuzi and his group, then said with an awkward smile, "Don’t get the wrong idea, we were about to have a showdown, I’m definitely not gay."

Tie Zhuzi burst into laughter after hearing it, and Han Rumei also gave Xiang Yu a reproachful look, "Who said you guys were gay? I was just wondering what you two are doing standing here." freewebnoveℓ.com

Liu Lianyu did not smile; he simply stood there calmly and then said to Xiang Yu, "If you can beat me, the Evil God will cease to exist from now on. But if you lose, don’t meddle in this matter ever again."

Only then did Xiang Yu snap out of his joking demeanor, his expression turning solemn as he replied, "No problem."

Now, Tie Zhuzi and the others finally understood what was going on—the two were preparing for a fight. However, Tie Zhuzi was not worried at all, for he believed in Xiang Yu’s skills. Moreover, Liu Lianyu looked slender and pale-faced, the very image of a sickly person—how could he be a match for Xiang Yu?

The two of them exchanged no more words and then, with a loud shout, lunged at each other.

Xiang Yu never underestimated his opponents; even if they seemed weak, he would always fight with all his might.

Though Liu Lianyu appeared somewhat malnourished, his skills were beyond question. He was fast and agile. However, his movements were somewhat stiff whenever he threw a punch, suggesting he hadn’t exercised in a long time.

Xiang Yu dodged a punch and then slammed his elbow towards his opponent. Liu Lianyu also used his elbow, their strikes colliding with a sharp crack.

After all, Xiang Yu’s body was sturdy. The head-on clash sent Liu Lianyu stumbling backward, his arm trembling. But he quickly shook it off and once more charged at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu then launched a kick towards his opponent’s head, which Liu Lianyu was too slow to evade and could only block with his arm. But Xiang Yu’s kick was full-powered and sent Liu Lianyu flying.

Liu Lianyu nearly fell off the cliff and then struggled to rise again. Seeing Liu Lianyu injured, the four bodyguards rushed over with worried faces.

Liu Lianyu waved his hand to indicate they shouldn’t help him; he could stand on his own.

"Just as my investigation revealed, your skills are excellent. It seems true that Ba Song was defeated by your hands," Liu Lianyu said with a smile.

"I’m no match for Ba Song; it was mere luck back then," Xiang Yu admitted.

Ba Song was the unbeatable legend of the Underground Boxing Ring, and Xiang Yu had used some tricks to defeat him back then—a fact he acknowledged.

"Let’s go again." Liu Lianyu’s eyes were filled with a fighting spirit. Despite his usually meek appearance, he could be quite fearsome when it came to fighting.

If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have founded Evil God, nor would he have reached this point. It can be said that behind the success of anyone lies unknown pain.

Especially with matters of the underworld, the sacrifices made are that much greater. Xiang Yu was no exception; he did not know how many life-and-death situations he had been through, and how many narrow escapes he had had before getting to where he was today.

The scars on Liu Lianyu’s body might not be as numerous as those on Xiang Yu’s, but they were shocking enough.

"Let’s make this fight a satisfying one. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a brawl," Liu Lianyu yelled crazily.

Even his bodyguards were surprised at his demeanor; Liu Lianyu was usually a high and mighty Leader, always cool and composed when people saw him. Why was he acting like a madman today?

Little did they know, this was the true nature of Liu Lianyu.

"Fine, let me see what you’ve got," Xiang Yu shouted as well, and then he rushed towards Liu Lianyu.

At that moment, Liu Lianyu’s heart was filled with conflict; it was unexpected that the person who knew him best would be his nemesis...
