Chapter 224 Night Capital Martial Arts Tournament One of them
is a disciple of Xuanmen. Li Pan naturally knows that mastering new moves does not mean that he has achieved great success. He still has to kill a few people. No, kill a few demons to test his power. Find Find the feel and improve your proficiency before you can brag about it.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of opportunities like this in a place like the Night City. The sports car drove around the city for half a circle and soon found a place to test the strength of the blood refining maggot body.
Although Li Pan did not add any hedonistic functions such as styling and skinning, the prosthetic body of AGRS level, map retrieval and intelligent navigation, naturally provide local consumption adaptation services.
In addition to the various movies, restaurants and entertainment venues provided by the public network that can be reserved with one click, even the gangsters on the Shenzhen Internet and the gold sales caves in casinos and nightclubs can enter and spend money without inspection. Guaranteed that no ignorant Ma Zai will come looking for trouble.
After all, in the final analysis, the purpose of the existence of this group of evil people in this world is to provide all illegal services to the rich and bear all legal responsibilities.
The gangsters work so hard to fight for the position and prepare all kinds of women's drugs and sashimi under pressure. Isn't it just to make money from the rich? All they have to do is grab the money from the poor!
Therefore, although the underground underworld war in the Night City has been intensifying recently like the corporate war, it is in full swing. Hundreds of people are buried in cement and sink into the Pacific Ocean every day. But business is still going on normally.
It can only be said that even Yakuza knows that customers are God these days. If you destroy the place and drive them away, what will you do if rich people stop coming to spend money in the future? Are you going to collect rags, sell kidneys, and drink the northwest wind like the Uzumaki Gang?
In short, Li Pan casually searched the Internet and found that there were many large-scale underground entertainment events being broadcast live tonight.
For example, the Exploding Ball Tournament, the one Victor watched two days ago, was finally the season finale. Damn, at least two thousand people were killed this season... The final venue of this tournament was in a suburban area with complex terrain
. Held in an abandoned steel factory. When Li Pan arrived, he had already exploded four or five balls, and his intestines and entrails were everywhere.
On one side, drones were everywhere dragging a bunch of corpses and hanging intestines around. On one side were contestants wearing special racing metal skeletons with logos sponsored by major companies printed on their bodies, escaping one after another around the ruins of the factory and being chased by a group.
Well, this finals is still a rare team mode. The countdown to the explosive ball is extremely fast. It needs to change hands quickly within a team. It also has to intercept other teams on the outside, and the people in the outer circle will bump in. Once it misses Just blow up a lot of them.
But today Li Pan was not here to watch the game. He bought a ticket for the Explosive Ball, took the elevator and continued down, from the Night City on the surface to the underground New Tokyo, and watched the Night City held under the Explosive Ball floor. Underworld tournament.
Underworld martial arts tournament, this was originally a traditional activity of the Tianlong Gang. Is the Tianlong Gang an immigrant gang? In the past, there were many people who spoke a mixed language, and fellow gangs from all over the country did not understand the language. They were even in a hostile state. It was good to stay within the river. . Once a conflict arises, he may self-destruct directly.
Therefore, in order to avoid civil war, under the coordination of the Ye family behind the scenes, the Tianlong Gang held regular martial arts competitions. If there were any internal conflicts among the leaders of each gang, such as uneven distribution of spoils, unfair work, fighting for power, stealing wives, and the like, they would If there is a major event that cannot be resolved by a table, each person will send a double-bonus stick to hit the head, blood, and intestines. Of course, in the end, the winner drinks tea and the loser feeds the fish.
However, the Tianlong Gang was originally forcibly pulled up by the Ye clan to contain the Dongcheng Club. Now Ye clan kicked them away and immediately disintegrated on their own. Some old people, such as Lao Wu and Lao Liu, became disheartened and quit the world to find a security guard. In a class like that. But there are also some people who are not willing to fail and start from scratch, pulling together people to conquer the country.
And this martial arts competition is equivalent to a microcosm of the recent underworld war.
Not only the members of the Tianlong Gang planned to take this opportunity to reorganize, but even the Japanese Yakuza from Kansai such as the Shanling Group and the Bee Beard Party sent people here.
Almost every contestant is the most capable representative of each gang or hall. To put it bluntly, those who can stand here are the emerging forces who have competed in the preliminary round outside. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. After the elimination round, they can occupy several blocks. They have money, people and guns.
The old and new underworld gangs intend to use this 'Martial Arts Conference' to show off their power, intimidate the heroes, and become the new martial arts leaders of the Night City!
Ahem, that's a bit too much. Anyway, that's what it is. Although the territory will definitely still be fought over and the war will continue, but in today's comparison, the underground forces in the Night City can almost show their respective strengths. Strength, standardize the general sphere of influence, and draw a new line.
Yes, this is the way the world is. No matter how powerful your company is, you can carry out rectification, extermination, and destroy the corrupt forces to dregs and raze them to the ground, but there will always be mold viruses that spring up like mushrooms after a rain, in the chaos. To establish a new order, it will be burned and destroyed.
Because this is the nature of living beings, the nature of human beings.
Even bad people are human beings, and people will want to live and do whatever they can to survive.
Li Pan activated the optical camouflage to cover his face, stood on the arm of the suspension bridge, and looked down at the fighting in the ring.
Two young men, about the same age as him, hugged each other and fought hard on the field amid the rumbling explosions above their heads and the cheers. Protective gear, and also equipped with daggers to point to tigers, fight with fists to the flesh.
It only took more than ten minutes, and the physical strength of a mortal was reached to its limit. In the end, one of the eyes was gouged out, leaving a piece of flesh hanging in the eye socket, an arm was broken, and the intestines were punched out.
The man used his own intestines and his remaining hand to strangle his opponent's neck, and strangled his opponent, who was also beaten to a bloody pulp, in his arms.
If he had continued to kill fish under Lao Wu, it would have been him, Li Pan, standing in the ring today...
"Guest, do you want to place a bet?"
After all, if you have nothing to do, you can just enter with one million cash. Soon there was a big client, a gangster girl wearing a slit cheongsam, with messy carp and peony tattoos on her thighs and buttocks, and prosthetic eyes and chin. She was stepping on high heels, holding drinks, and was kicking. You have to walk along the suspension bridge to serve VIPs.
"How far did the beating go?"
Li Pan took a glass of wine and waved his hand to reject the medicine offered by the other party. The two teenagers who were watching the fight between life and death on the ring were dragged down by the robot to clear the ring.
"We are still in the group stage, but judging from the strength of each person, we can basically determine the top four. These four people have the highest winning rate, and the others are just some bastards who don't know the heights of the world. They just rely on a few implants to get there. It's just embarrassing."
The mafia girl used her prosthetic eyes to project a holographic image and released the files of the four people. She introduced,
"The representative of the Yamahisi group, Okada Isamu, a master of the Kansai underworld, one of the four Yamaryoshi slayers, Mars Retired from the Marine Corps, Gao Tianyuan's original fifth-level military prosthetic body. Representative
of the Bee Beard Party, Shura Niangui, former leader of the Shura Group, master of the underworld, Muramasa's custom-made fifth-level prosthetic body.
Representative of the Lovers Gang, Juan, a street boxer, Highly modified prosthetic body, the brand is unknown, and it is suspected to be a sixth-level customized product of a certain company.
Representative of He Rong Tang, Wu Huairen, former Tianlong Gang red stick, north leg master, professional thug, bulk civilian implant." Damn,
this is There are a lot of flaws in the list...
Li Pan glared at the four people on the list and frowned, "Wasn't this Shura Niangui arrested and sentenced by the NCPA?"
The gangster girl nodded, "Yes, he is still serving his sentence, but the Beebeard Party has penetrated the joints and given him medical parole. They loaned him out of prison for a fight and then sent him back after the fight." Damn
! This is okay too! As expected of the NCPA...
and Lao Wu actually got into the ring too? Didn't he sell all the restaurants and withdraw from the world? Why did you return to the boxing ring?
And this Juan, although Juan is also a very common name like Zhang San and Li Si in the Lover Gang cultural circle, but is he also the Juan he knows?
But the opponent's prosthetic body was inserted a little too much. His whole body was supported by subcutaneous armor implants like a devil muscleman. He also wore a metal mask like a wrestler. He was really unrecognizable... Li Pan thought for a while, since
everyone Such a fate,
"I also want to play, can you arrange it?"
The gangster woman's prosthetic eyes flickered, and she said hesitantly,
"Bionics of your level, combined, they are no match for you. If you want to warm up, Seeing blood, why not arrange some smuggled slave labor for you for fun..."
Li Pan gave him a million,
"Arrange me to fight, and I will give you one million for a fight. Don't worry, I only drive manual environmental protection. Mode, no automatic scripts, no destruction of the venue, just experience this kind of real-life fighting atmosphere with fists and blood.
Oh, don’t be polite to me, I have many prosthetics. Whoever can defeat me, I will give you more than 30 million He received a red envelope and even recruited him as a bodyguard, but if they are all trash, how about I quit on my own initiative?" As long as they can make money, there is
nothing these people can't do. The gangster woman's prosthetic eyes flashed for a while, and she quickly got the approval. , with a smile on his face,
"As you wish, please come with me."
Li Pan followed her to the backstage, paid another million, replaced a player of similar stature, changed into the opponent's protective clothing, and wore Put on the mask to cover the upper half of your face and enter the player resting area.
The four seed players that the gangster girl mentioned before were all surrounded by a large group of gang members to protect them from being disturbed by outsiders and causing accidents. Obviously, what they represent are basically the four major gangs that currently hope to compete for the leadership of the underworld in the City of Night.
Needless to say, the Yamaryoshi group and the Beesu Party are all working for Takamagahara. Now that Saburo Takenaka is leading a strong return, they will definitely not miss this feast.
The Bee Beard Party is also smart. They are closer to the Hashiba family and know that the first step is to use the people of the Shanling Group to take the lead. This time, they simply did not send their own people to accompany them and just picked up Shura Niangui on the spot. Yes, I'm afraid it's also a supporting role that clears the way for Isamu Okada.
As for Herongtang, it is a streamlined and reorganized organization of the old Tianlong Gang, plus the Lovers Gang, which is also supported by the Ye family. These two families were obviously pushed out by the people from the universe, and they are related to the local Yakuza. It's time to hit the ring.
Li Pan couldn't get close to the four people for the time being, so he sent a message asking Lao Wu and Huan, "Have you eaten?" 'They didn't reply either. However, Li Pan was not in a hurry. He was here to test the prosthetic body anyway, so he appeared first under the arrangement of the gangster girl and flexed his hands and feet.
The opponent is a multi-limbed prosthetic man with a mantis knife. His original limbs have been cut off and replaced with implants. He also painted his face like a ghost. I don’t know if it was a special costume or his own hand. It looked crazy.
The organizer probably didn't even mention the big customer experience life and the 30 million red envelope. This guy didn't hold back when he came up. He popped out a large gleaming alloy blade from his body, swooped over, and swiped. There was a violent slashing, poking and slashing, and it hit Li Pan's head and neck.
I have to say that fighting the underworld is much more interesting than killing corporate dogs. The illegal prosthetics and pirated software used by these people cannot use the martial arts scripts on the Internet at all, so they will not be killed by Li Pan with one move when he sees through the flaw. Moreover, there are There are many self-developed novel moves, including crawling, rolling, running and jumping, just like a crazy high-legged spider.
Li Pan also kept his promise, using the environmental protection mode to limit the power of the prosthetic body, limit dodge, and test the effects of the blood puppet secret refining method on various functions of this body.
"Hey, hey! What are you hiding from! Come here and hurt each other!"
It's a pity that the performance of these underworld opponents' prosthetic bodies is too poor and their physical energy consumption is too high. They only lasted five minutes of offensive. A set of self-made mad dogs After three rounds of slashing with the sword, the opponent's stamina bar has been exhausted and he needs to stop to catch his breath. Li Pan didn't try to hurt him, and just let the other person continue to breathe. He put his hand on the pulse and measured the physiological condition of the prosthetic body.
Well, to be honest, in fact, there is no big improvement in the physical parameters.
The performance potential of RS7 is something that few immortal cultivators can achieve. Only those ancient beasts or special body training techniques can barely compare.
Li Pan even estimated that even if he had mastered "Nine Yin Shape Refining" and "Nine Yin Divine Art" to the ninth level, BBA would still be able to produce a super bionic body with 50-50 parameters, or even crush it.
Unless one day he can really smash the void with his fist and create a gamma ray burst with one move, it would be better not to challenge the technological power of such giants alone.
But what makes Li Pan happy is that his body can be 'lucky'.
Yes, this maggot monster has actually evolved meridians!
The blood refining breath travels throughout the body along with the essence and blood, producing an 'internal strength' effect. In environmental mode, it increases the speed and strength of the prosthetic body! It doesn't matter whether you are strong or not, it is important whether you are strong or not!
The Maggot Dao Body can really be cultivated!
"...Hey referee! He laughs so disgustingly. Is he mentally ill?"
Li Pan didn't get angry either. He raised his hand cheerfully and made a gesture.
"Come on, get ready. I'm going to attack. I'll use a three-pointer." Use your strength, try to see if you can catch it."
"What-what!!? You're looking for death! Overload!!"
The tall spider shouted, and the implants in his body were overloaded, and the current surged backwards, causing all of his hair to fall. The electric shock made him stand upright, and a big dancing sword rushed towards Li Pan!
"Hiss...hoo...pierce the heart and the foot!"
Li Pan narrowly avoided the blade, but suddenly he advanced instead of retreating. He raised his breath, jumped out with his legs, and carried the Dao breath away through the Sanjiao meridian. He used ordinary infuriating energy to penetrate his heart and feet.
With the addition of Xue Lian Dao's true energy, he struck through the heart with one move, passed through the gap of the knife net, and kicked the opponent right in the heart. The leather shoes made a groove in the tall spider's chest, and he was kicked away from the ring. . He hit the steel frame, broke his waist, and fell to the ground unable to get up.
The referee did not call a stop. After all, there are no out-of-bounds fouls in this kind of game. The fight usually lasts until one side pulls off the other side's head.
So Li Pan leisurely stepped forward to check the Cyber Tall Spider's pulse, pinched him twice, and checked the damage of this kick.
Well, 3% of the effort is a kick from an ordinary person, but with the addition of true energy, the attack power is still significantly improved, and this kick kicks the power into the body of the tall spider, and the opponent's blood is already boiling , fainted.
However, the Blood Refining Taoist Breath of the Blood God Sect does not add much to the body refining technique, and it will not produce the magnificent special effect of shattering the whole person into pieces like the Jiuyin Divine Technique. Disciples of the divine sect usually use blood essence and blood to turn into blood swords and blood blades.
However, Li Pan didn't intend to bully others with his immortal skills. It would be too boring to kill him with one sword when they met...
And Old Wu also recognized him now.
"Is that you?"
Li Pan leisurely walked down the ring with his hands in his pockets, raised his head at Old Wu,
"Hey, Uncle Wu, you won't retire even though you're old. What happened again?" The
gang's bodyguard stepped forward to stop him. Old Wu moved his knees and kicked the blind man away. Make a seat for Li Pan to sit over.
"It's okay, it's either this thing or that thing. In the final analysis, people are in the world and can't help themselves." "
Wow, how come these miscellaneous fish dare to threaten you? Do you want to help you do it for them?"
Li Pan He made a beheading gesture.
Old Wu shook his head and said,
"It's none of their business. I got here today just by selling my fists and kicks. I will only sell my fists and kicks in this life. I came here on my own." Li Pan was also speechless, "No, so Uncle
Wu
, Tell me clearly what the purpose of this time is.
Look at this person, he is covered with implants, both from Muramasa and military, either level five or level six. Look at you again, your whole
body is covered in implants . Second-hand rubbish. If you go up like this, you will be beaten to death!"
Old Wu chuckled,
"That's what beating a boy is, either he will be beaten to death on the street, or he will be beaten to death in the ring, sooner or later. ."
Li Pan was quite speechless when he saw that the old man was out of luck,
"Damn it, why not let me do it? I'll break your remaining leg and save your life at least?"
Old Wu was not angry,
"Okay, let's have a try. Back then, my master was too soft-hearted and broke both my legs, so there wouldn't be so many things today. I
think you are crazy, right?" Education, education. Oh, it’s my turn, let’s talk later.”
Lao Wu pointed his toes and jumped onto the ring. Lame on one leg, the golden rooster stood on its own, jumping and tangled with the cyber thugs whose hands were breathing fire.
Yes, with his speed and strength, let alone the overload of the prosthetic body, he is just an ordinary old man.
Li Pan frowned and said to the Herongtang thug next to him, whose legs were still trembling,
"Hey, how much money does Lao Wu owe you, I'll pay it."
The thug turned to look, and Li Pan also turned around Looking, I saw a fat old man whose head had been smashed in half and replaced with a metal shell. He was sitting in the shadows on crutches, staring at the ring, not looking at Li Pan, and said in a muffled voice.
"Lame doesn't owe us any money, he's repaying a favor.
When his junior sister was trafficked to New Tokyo by swindlers, they were country bumpkins who didn't understand a word of nonsense, so they followed the smuggler to find someone. They were a few of our brothers. Seeing that he could fight and was loyal, we helped him to save the people. It
was because of this incident that we offended the Dongcheng Club. In the end, we were hunted down and had no choice but to join the Tianlong Gang. We have been fighting until now. There are not many old brothers left. Now that I have personally come out to ask him to take action, of course he will come back to help. Huh,
this cripple died because of his loyalty. If he had followed his junior sister back to his hometown, it would have been over. What a crime. Do you want to stay in this damn place until today?"
Li Pan frowned and looked at him. The NCPA bounty system quickly found out that this person's name was 'Rong Bo'. He was an old man from the Tianlong Gang, a boss worth ten thousand yuan, and He came forward to organize Herongtang.
"Old man Rong, why bother? Look at this group of newcomers, who is still abandoning you?
Times have changed, and a new generation has replaced the old ones.
You old guys can just retire. Why are you still out fighting?"
Uncle Rong snorted coldly,
"Humph, how could I not know? I have long understood that no matter what we outsiders do, the locals will treat us as thieves! Even the people in heaven will treat us as dogs! We will come when called
. , lingered away, I didn’t want to fight! But it’s up to me! If
we old bones don’t stand up today and play against the Kansai people, tomorrow they will sink my whole family into the Pacific Ocean! How the hell can I Is there any way?
Is it so easy to quit this road? I can’t stand it! They are quitting one by one!
You don’t need to talk nonsense. The only one who can fight now is Wu Lame. He helps me fight. After this scene, everything between us will be settled."
Li Pan looked at them coldly,
"Why, you said so much, do you want me to sympathize with you? You have done all the bad things over the years, and you have ended up here. You deserve it."
"Hohoho! We are so poor and have nothing! We hate ghosts! If we didn't do things like chickens, dogs, thieves, cheating, and kidnapping, we would have starved to death! You're talking about me! How about you!" The fat old
man He grinned widely, turned his head, and pointed at Li Pan's polished leather shoes with his cane,
"How many things have the company done to rob and plunder! How many filthy things have you done wearing this dog's skin!" How much dirty money has been collected!
You look down on us thieves so much, so why don't you just go and watch us die! Why do you come to pay off the cripple's debt? It's none of your business!"
But the things the company does are indeed no better than these gangsters. No matter how much, we are all in the same boat. So Li Pan just snorted coldly and turned his head away, not seeing the old man who was half buried in the ground.
But he also thought about it and gradually recalled it.
Yes, if you have to say it's none of his business, it's probably because the lame man was happy to teach him real kung fu when he saw Hunter Xin, but in the end, his conscience was vented and he refused to let him become a thief, right?
Save him this time.
