His heart had never been so cold, and death had never been so clear. Every organ from his fingers to his internal organs seemed to be beyond his control. His senses were all gone, and the only thing left was the scorching and stinging blood that was spurting into the air through his carotid arteries!
Right before the fatty's world was about to fall into an infinite abyss, his neck suddenly hurt, and the bleeding stopped abruptly.
"Huchi! Huchi! Huchi!"
The fatty breathed heavily with cold sweat popping up. His lips were pale and dry, and his body was still shaking.
He knew that he was still on the verge of death. He would've been killed by the excessive blood loss if he had bled for another couple of seconds.
Wave after wave of darkness came at him, and he could pass out at any moment.
However, cold and sharp spiritual energy pierced into his brain from the back, making his brain cells more excited than ever and keeping him sober.
Then, an indifferent voice echoed next to his ears, making him almost cry. "Don't be scared. I'm not here for you."
"Giggle. Giggle."
The fatty's Adam's apple protruded out of his fat and rolled hard. He did not know what to say.
The voice went on, "I'm here to kill the leader of the Red Fire Gang. But after I arrived, I found that all the gangs in Double Dragons City were gathered for a meeting. It was barely possible to find a place to attack. So, I found a random person to ask for intelligence. Fatty, judging from your clothes and your shuttle, you must be a big shot in the Bloody Worlds. I don't want to kill you if it's not necessary, because it will only cause a lot of trouble.
"So, you will answer my questions dutifully. As long as you give me satisfactory intelligence, I will be gone in ten minutes. You can continue to play with your woman comfortably, and we'll pretend that nothing happened. Alright, just nod."
Brutality flashed in the fatty's tiny eyes. He nodded quickly and stammered, "I-I understand."
"Very good."
The voice seemed to be convinced by the fatty's words. He smiled and said, "Tell me who you are first."
Li Yao was right. This fat man was indeed a merchant from a big gang in the Bloody Plains. He was in the business of trading slaves, especially young and beautiful female slaves.
Because the gang he was in was notorious, almost no one dared to provoke him in the Bloody Plains. Moreover, he had dealt with the Black Water Gang many times and was a very good partner. In addition, for some special reasons, he didn't bring too many bodyguards with him this time. He didn't expect to run into Li Yao.
Li Yao was not interested in his sordid business. He cut to the chase. "Do you know why all the gangs in Double Dragons City have gathered? What are they discussing exactly?"
The fatty was indeed well-informed. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "They should be discussing how to deal with A Boxing Champion's invitation card and whether or not they should attack Liberty City together with A Boxing Champion."
Li Yao was slightly startled. "Who is A Boxing Champion?"
The fatty was dumbfounded, too. "… You — you don't know 'A Boxing Champion'?"
Li Yao sniffed. His spiritual energy was condensed into a sharp blade that was half cold and half scorching, as he rubbed the fatty's neck.
The fatty's courage and passion had been drained together with the blood just now. Threatened by Li Yao, he immediately lost his courage. Thinking for a long time, he still said drily, "A Boxing Champion … Isn't he A Boxing Champion?"
Some names were indeed difficult to explain.
Because in most cases, there was no need to explain them at all.
For example, in the Xing Yao Federation, if someone asked who 'Vulture' was, there was no need to explain at all. Vulture was Vulture and Li Yao. 'Vulture Li Yao' was enough to explain everything.
By the same logic, Ding Ling Dong was Ding Ling Dong and Blazing Tyrannosaur. There was no need to explain them in more than one word, either.
In the Land of Sins, at least in the cruelest Bloody Worlds, 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie was a name that did not need to be explained. All one needed to do was submit, avoid, or be crushed by him.
The legend of 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie began when his village was purged by a gang of bandits and he was sold to another gang of bandits as a slave soldier.
The so-called slave soldiers were cannon fodder. In the battles in the Bloody Worlds, they had a high attrition rate. In a random gang fight that was not large in scale, a thousand slave soldiers might be killed.
They usually worked as the humblest slaves and pathfinders, or even as bait to hunt the mutated beasts. During the battles, they would be injected with all kinds of exhilarants and lunge at the enemy's cannons and chainsaws while roaring like animals. Few slave soldiers could survive a year and a half in such cruel elimination.
However, 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie miraculously survived five years. He also made tremendous contributions to the gang and even saved the life of the gang leader at the risk of his own life multiple times. In the meantime, his capability soared crazily in the battles as if his primordial instincts had been awakened. In the end, he successfully got rid of his identity as a slave soldier and became the strongest, most ferocious member of the gang.
However, the good times did not last long. 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie was too conspicuous, which raised the jealousy and dissatisfaction of the other tough bandits in the gang. The leader of the gang was also wary of the expansion of his influence all the time, fearing that he would hold a grudge against them because he had worked as cannon fodder for five years. Finally, they reached a consensus and set up a trap to kill him.
During that mission, he had just led his elite suicide squad and killed a caravan belonging to a rival gang. He was wounded all over, and blood was flowing out of his body. In the end, what he waited for was his own people besieging him.
He fought and retreated, running for almost a hundred kilometers with bloody marks. Eventually, his own people caught up with him and hacked him to death. His body fell into the depths of the city ruins.
Countless pairs of eyes saw that his body was torn apart, shattered, and dragged back to the depths of the dark cave by the mutated beasts.
But death was not the end. It was just the beginning of the horror.
Ten years later, A Boxing Champion was back again — as a spectral Cultivator.
Years ago, his body was split and swallowed by the mutated beasts deep inside the city ruins, but part of his remaining soul was preserved. It was said that he had accidentally found a secret art on the training of the remaining soul. After a series of fortuitous encounters, he finally trained his remaining soul to the highest level.
'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie cleaned up the gangs that framed him and the gangs that massacred his hometown in the past in three years. He did not even let go of the tough bandits who had left the gangs in the meantime. He found them one by one, crushed their bones, and blew their bodies to death.
Then, he established his own empire. With his iron fists that could summon the wind and rain and chase the clouds and lightning, he became a super expert that everyone in the Bloody Worlds feared!
In the Land of Sins, the communication of information was not smooth. Also, the death rate of the top experts was very high because of the constant fighting. Chances were that the dominating experts one day would be dead in the wilderness one day. Therefore, there was no fair ranking such as' Top Ten Experts'.
However, all the bandits in the Bloody Worlds agreed that if there was a ranking of 'top ten experts' or 'top ten bandits', 'Fist King' Lei Zonglie would certainly be one of them. Also, it was very likely that he would be among the top five!
After hearing the fatty's vivid description, especially the few battles in which 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie was involved, Li Yao couldn't help but be deeply curious about the strong spectral Cultivator.
Since the spectral Cultivators did not have bodies of flesh and blood, the arts that they practiced tended to be soft and unpredictable. 'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu was the best example of that.
However, this' A Boxing Champion 'Lei Zonglie defied common sense and walked on the path of masculinity and violence with the body of a spectral Cultivator. According to the fatty, even the regular Jin Dan and even the beginning level of Yuanying were no match for him. It seemed that he had indeed received some of the marvelous secret arts of the spectral Cultivators from the Immortal Cultivators and was lucky enough not to be killed in them. That was why he had made such astounding achievements.
Li Yao's soul right now was similar to that of a spectral Cultivator. If he could steal some of the secret arts from 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie, wouldn't he be even more powerful?
"A Boxing Champion is going to attack Liberty City?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao asked with great interest, "What does that mean?"
"Liberty City is an 'Elysian World'."
The fatty swallowed hard, with both yearning and fear on his face. "A Boxing Champion is trying to unseat the leader of Liberty City and replace him as the new dominator of Liberty City!"
The so-called 'Elysian World' was a super city that had enormous asset transmission tubes connected to the Heavenly Rails beyond the atmosphere and received the support of the Heavenly Rails in all aspects.
The prosperity and magnificence of that place were beyond the imagination of the people of the Bloody Worlds and the Desolate Worlds. Any piece of magical equipment or Cultivation arts that the angels used could raise a storm of blood in the Bloody Worlds if they leaked from the Heavenly Rails.
All the experts who could control the Elysian Worlds were all great men who had fought for decades in the Bloody Worlds before they broke out of the siege and established their own hegemony.
It was said that they had also been acknowledged by the angels and could work for them directly. They were rewarded by the angels and even had tremendous contribution points that could allow them to rise to 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'.
Becoming the dominator of an Elysian World was perhaps the greatest dream of every tough bandit in the Bloody Worlds.
It meant infinite strength, power, wealth, and a vaster world above the sky!
The Bloody Worlds were a hellish arena where the insects fought each other. Every couple of years, or even as short as a couple of years, an extremely strong insect would distinguish itself and become the toughest bandit among the toughest bandits and the most ferocious devil among the most ferocious devils.
The invincible, unparalleled ferocious devils in the Bloody Worlds, without exception, would all cast their ambitious eyes on a certain Elysian World, hoping to attack the city with an army, unseat the previous ruler, and become the new dominator!
It was said that the angels above the Heavenly Rails all adopted a policy of indifference to the conflicts in the Land of Sins. Whoever was capable of seizing the dominion of a certain Elysian World and completely controlling the situation would be acknowledged by them.
