Chapter 37: Intercepting People

Words : 2055 Updated : Sep 10th, 2025

Chen Chuan was at least a hundred meters away from the two men left behind by Qiu Huzi, but once he picked up speed, it seemed like only a few breaths before he was right in front of them. The two men were startled and quickly drew the daggers from their waists. "Oh oh..." Guo Fatso showed a look of anticipation for a good show, as fighting bare-handed versus armed is completely different. Facing weapons, even the best fighter could get injured without protective gear. Even if someone got hurt or killed, it was the client's own business and had nothing to do with him. Moreover, as just a follower of a client, the Lu Commission wouldn't turn against him over this.

Although Chen Chuan was unarmed, with the Second Self merged into his body, his speed and reactions had multiplied. So, in his eyes, the two men's movements were actually quite slow. While running, he slightly adjusted his steps, shifting to the side, which caused the two men to turn according to his angle, inadvertently positioning themselves one after the other. At that moment, he suddenly accelerated, first kicking the person on the left, then spinning around to kick the person on the right in the head. The powerful kicks immediately incapacitated the two men. After easily dealing with them, he didn't stop moving and continued chasing after Qiu Huzi. To onlookers, it appeared as if he had charged forward, executed a spinning flying kick, and the two men were almost simultaneously sent flying. Before they even hit the ground, he had already passed by. Guo Fatso was surprised, touching his chin and muttering to himself, "Hmm? Looks a bit like the moves of Xiujiang Boxing, is he a disciple or junior brother of Gu Mao?" Then he got excited again, turned around, and made an upward lifting motion to the back. The drummer understood and started clapping his hands, the fast-paced drumbeat resounding once more. Chen Chuan caught up to Qiu Huzi in no time, but Qiu Huzi turned his head and said something to the side. The bodyguard running with him stopped, also drawing a dagger from his waist, flicking it in his hand with the blade pointing downward, holding it steadily, his eyes revealing a hint of ferocity. Chen Chuan saw this; the man should be Zhai Wu, as mentioned by Wei Chang'an. But his charging speed didn't decrease at all. Zhai Wu, with a fierce expression, seeing that Chen Chuan didn't stop, stepped forward two steps, blocking his path. Even with the Second Self, Chen Chuan didn't want to be stabbed by a dagger. As he was about to get close, he subtly flicked his right hand, and two stones flew out first.Zhai Wu reacted extremely quickly, dodging one stone and deflecting the other with his dagger, even causing a spark to fly. Chen Chuan was slightly surprised. Although his technique was somewhat amateurish, the speed and strength were evident. Yet, this man could accurately block with his dagger, which was a significant test of eyesight and speed, indicating a high level of skill. However, once Chen Chuan entered a combat state, many inspirations would emerge. Seeing this situation, he immediately came up with a countermeasure, increasing his speed again while slightly lowering his left hand, feigning to throw another stone. Zhai Wu, with keen eyes, saw this movement and couldn't help but judge that there might be another stone there, causing him to tense up. Even if his brain reacted that Chen Chuan might be bluffing, his body reacted first, inevitably causing his entire body to move slightly. At this moment, both sides were rapidly closing the distance. Just with this slight and unnecessary movement, Chen Chuan seized the initiative. He let out a low shout, forcefully pushed off the ground with his feet, turning into a blur as he charged forward. While his hand parried the dagger-holding hand, he had already breached in, delivering a Frightening God Fist towards the opponent's face! At this moment, Zhai Wu's dagger-holding hand was blocked. Seeing Chen Chuan's fierce approach and realizing he couldn't dodge, his pupils contracted sharply. At this moment, he firmly planted his feet, used his other hand to parry outward, and at the same time let out a shout, his arm trembling as the muscles beneath his skin suddenly tensed, releasing a burst of force. He intended to push Chen Chuan away, but unexpectedly, Chen Chuan could both strike and retract. With a step, he stood firm, all the force exploding from his fist. When the two forces collided, even if not head-on, Zhai Wu's body shook, and he couldn't help but take a step back. Chen Chuan, seemingly unaffected, stepped forward, naturally retracting his arm as he charged, and then... punched again! Affected by the previous collision, Zhai Wu couldn't make any extra movements and had no choice but to raise his hand again to block, his body shaking as he took another step back. Chen Chuan continued to press on, delivering a third punch exactly the same. At this moment, Zhai Wu also became fierce, his feet almost sinking into the mud. As he shouted, he clashed with Chen Chuan once more.With each punch Chen Chuan threw, Zhai Wu took a step back, his body shaking violently each time. In just a few breaths, the two had clashed five times, and Zhai Wu had retreated five steps. "Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong..." The drum beats on the other side were also in sync, each collision deliberately amplified by louder beats. When Chen Chuan was about to throw his sixth punch, despite Zhai Wu still wearing a fierce expression, a trickle of blood suddenly spilled from his mouth. Then, as if all his strength had drained, he knelt down in front of Chen Chuan and collapsed face-first into the muddy ground. Seeing that the obstacle had lost the ability to resist, Chen Chuan didn't bother with him any longer and dashed past, heading straight for Qiu Huzi. The drum beats behind him also intensified, matching the fervor of his sprint. By now, Qiu Huzi had already opened the car door and gotten inside. Seeing Chen Chuan approaching, he hastily pulled the door shut and fumbled to insert the key. However, perhaps due to nervousness, he missed the ignition twice in a row. Chen Chuan saw this clearly and knew it would be troublesome if Qiu Huzi managed to escape. He took a deep breath, accelerated with all his might, and leaped into the air as he neared the car. The drummer behind him, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but widen his eyes, his whole body trembling as if electrified. He suddenly raised his hands high and then brought them down with all his strength! Boom! With a deafening drumbeat, Chen Chuan's momentum-laden foot simultaneously slammed into the car door! With a loud crash, the car was shoved sideways by more than half a meter, and the door was completely caved in by his kick. Qiu Huzi, sitting in the driver's seat, was flung by the force onto the passenger seat, his body plastered against the window. The members of the Bloodstain Gang watched with bated breath, but many couldn't help but scream in excitement. That kick was a pure display of power and violence, visually stunning, and it sent their adrenaline soaring. Chen Chuan retracted his foot, walked around the front of the car to the other side, grabbed the door handle, and yanked it open. Qiu Huzi tumbled out, and in sync with his action, the drummer quickly struck a few more beats, ending with a final "dong' as Qiu Huzi hit the ground. At that moment, a loud explosion sounded in the open space, and the grille door of the old phone booth flew out. Wei Chang'an, rubbing his forehead, stepped out from inside, his expression far from friendly.Guo Fatso said with a smile, "Out, huh?" Wei Chang'an stared at him for a few moments, then said, "If Qiu Huzi escapes today, Guo Fatso, you won't be able to handle it." "Oh, really?" Guo Fatso seemed completely indifferent. Wei Chang'an ignored him, walked over, and stepped on Qiu Huzi's shoulder, "What, still running? Run, run, I say, where can you run to?" Qiu Huzi panted and said, "If it weren't for, if it weren't for Scarface not being here, you wouldn't have caught me so easily." Wei Chang'an didn't bother to argue with him, grabbed the man by the collar, and lifted him up, saying to Chen Chuan, "Junior, help me stuff him into the trunk, put your stuff in my back seat." Chen Chuan said, "Okay." The two returned to the car, Wei Chang'an opened the trunk, Chen Chuan took out his suitcase and placed it in the back seat, then handcuffed Qiu Huzi with the prepared handcuffs and stuffed him into the trunk. Wei Chang'an closed the trunk and locked it with the key. Chen Chuan asked from the side, "Who is the Scarface Qiu Huzi mentioned just now?" Wei Chang'an said, "Qiu Huzi's former bodyguard. It's said that Qiu Huzi once saved his life with medicine, so he followed him. This guy is quite skilled, a good fighter, and has been on the battlefield before, knows how to use guns and weapons. He might even have implants, making him a tough opponent. But Scarface was wanted for a crime some days ago and is now missing." He walked to the front, opened the car door, "This has nothing to do with us. As long as we hand Qiu Huzi over to the patrol bureau, whether to directly get clues about Fang Dawei's gang or to have him cooperate in setting up a trap for capture, that's the patrol bureau's business." The two got into the car one after the other. After the door closed, Wei Chang'an cursed, "This dump, I never want to come here again." The car quickly started up, jolted a few times in the muddy pond, and then drove off. After the two left, Guo Fatso felt a bit regretful. It was quite boring here, and just when he found some entertainment, it ended so quickly. He said to the person beside him, "Go check on Zhai Wu, if he's not dead, help him up. Damn fool, I told him to follow Qiu Huzi just for show, not to really fight to the death. Doesn't he think about who gives him his money?"The underling walked over to check and said, "Boss, it seems like Zhai Wu is about to breathe his last." "Is it that serious?" Guo Fatso widened his eyes and said, "He just blocked a few punches, and he's a so-called ring expert? A fake, right? Dr. Liu, go check on him." The man in a white coat beside him walked over, checked him thoroughly, and confirmed, "Excessive exertion leading to organ failure. This is a common injury from going all out in a fight, overexerting and then suffering a counterattack. Without good medicine, he's done for." "So serious?" Guo Fatso said unhappily, "Cripple Dan was counting on him to make money in the ring. If he dies, he's definitely going to squeeze me for money. By the way, why does that kid look fine?" Dr. Liu said, "Either that young man's strength level is above Zhai Wu's, or he possesses a natural talent. Look at the kick he gave the car earlier, the young man himself was completely unharmed. His strength is extraordinary, and the endurance of his bones and fascia surpasses that of ordinary people. It seems he relied on his physical prowess to wear Zhai Wu down." Guo Fatso cursed, "I thought he was a little lamb, but it turns out he's a big tiger. Damn it, I'll take the loss this time. Let's get him some medicine first." …… ……
