Chapter 197: Chapter 177: Your Death is Important to Me

Hu Shan caught Ruan Changheng; he had seen everything clearly from behind. Ruan Changheng was kicked in the throat by Wu Li, so without checking, he knew Ruan Changheng was beyond help.

Hu Shan had never imagined that Ruan Changheng could be killed with a single move. Ruan Changheng’s Kung Fu had been taught by him, and he knew his disciple’s strength well. Even he himself was not confident he could kill Ruan Changheng in fewer than ten moves, yet now he had witnessed someone killing Ruan Changheng with just one.

Fear in his heart prevented him from making an immediate move; instead, he stared intently at the figure ahead.

"Who are you?"

It was past two in the morning, and they were in a forest, about ten meters apart, and could only see roughly each other’s outlines.

Hu Shan spoke in the Southern Country dialect, which Wu Li did not understand, but he didn’t need to understand to guess that he was likely being asked about his identity. Thus, Wu Li replied directly in Mandarin, "Master Hu, we meet again."

Hearing Wu Li’s voice, Hu Shan’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he said in Mandarin, "It’s you! How is that possible?"

Wu Li laughed heartily, "Why couldn’t it be me?"

Hu Shan’s expression turned fierce, quickly connecting Wu Li to the events of that evening, "Was it you who snuck in and discovered the drug manufacturing site?"

Wu Li nodded, "That’s right."

Hu Shan, "How did you manage all this?"

Wu Li knew Hu Shan was not asking about how he snuck in but rather how he managed to get the Yuhe City police to act and order his arrest?

Hu Shan wanted to understand the reason for his downfall, and Wu Li was happy to delay by explaining,

"I started a live stream at your drug manufacturing site. You must know that I have some fame in Hua Country, so this incident couldn’t be suppressed by you."

"Live streaming..."

Hu Shan clenched his fist; he had looked into Wu Li and knew that the other was a celebrity in Hua Country, but he hadn’t expected Wu Li’s influence to be that significant. If it were just the live streaming, Hu Shan wouldn’t have believed the police would be so decisive in arresting him, so there must have been a series of manipulations by higher-ups involved.

"You really are fearless!" Hu Shan gritted his teeth.

Daring to live stream drug manufacturing on someone else’s turf and making such a big show of it, once Wu Li exposed himself, death was certain, which was why Hu Shan remarked on his boldness.

Wu Li smiled, offering no explanation.

In fact, his decision to live stream was well-considered, not a rash action on impulse.

Firstly, from a technical standpoint, netizens from the Southern Country couldn’t see his live stream; even if some netizens from the Southern Country were ’bypassing the firewall’ to browse websites in Hua Country at that specific time and happened to come across Wu Li’s news or live stream, could it be precisely someone involved with Shaquan Dojo and its drug dealing? Late at night, wouldn’t a group of drug dealers be more concerned with money, women, or power than browsing foreign news websites?

Thus, probability-wise, Wu Li was not worried about his live stream being seen by people from Shaquan Dojo involved in drugs. The only concern was if someone among the high-ranking officials of the Southern Country might reveal the information to Hu Shan.

Wu Li’s safety became crucial; Southern Country wouldn’t dare let him come to harm easily—certainly not due to betrayal.

Chen Gang called the police and directly contacted the top tier of Yuhe City’s police. Thus, if information about Wu Li at Shaquan Dojo was leaked ahead of time, it would be obvious that one or even several top-tier officers had disclosed this to Hu Shan. With such a small circle, the likelihood of being discovered was high, so anyone privately inclined would not risk leaking information ahead of time to Hu Shan.

When would be the most appropriate time to inform Hu Shan? After the Yuhe City police had deployed!

By that time, the range of the spread of information was already broad, and even people outside the police station could see the police’s large-scale mobilization. At this moment, passing the information to Hu Shan would decrease the chances of being caught because the number of suspects had multiplied.

And the people behind Hu Shan choosing to inform him after the police had acted wasn’t really out of concern for his well-being but more of a worry that Hu Shan getting caught by the police might implicate themselves.

Wu Li had already figured out these possibilities and relationships when he carried Xiaoyun’er back to the hotel, thus he dared to start the live stream.

His Fist Intent might have been a reckless demeanor of treating the five peaks as light and spitting out resolute words with three cups of wine, the resolve to step forward even if the path ahead was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, but that didn’t mean he acted without thinking or recklessly.

He would proceed after thinking it through, ensuring no regrets regardless of the outcome, but also making every effort to keep himself alive.

Survival and justice were not contradictory; that was his Fist Intent.

"Unexpectedly, it’s you who destroyed everything for me!" Hu Shan’s eyes were bloodshot, "I want to know why. Just because I threatened you that day, you went to such lengths? Disregarding life and death?"

Wu Li smiled, "No, you’re not that important."

"Then what are you after, fame? Profit?"

"Fame and profit aren’t important either."

Hu Shan’s body leaned forward slightly, on the verge of exploding, "Then what’s important?"

Wu Li’s entire body tensed as well, looking ahead, he spoke word by word, "You and fame and profit, none of it is important."

"You dying is very important to me!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shan was initially stunned, and then burst into loud laughter, "Haha, hahahaha!"

"Let’s see who dies then!"

His fury and killing intent had nearly boiled over, and at that moment they burst forth completely. His legs bending and extending, his muscles and bones issuing a thunderous roar, he charged at Wu Li like a cannonball.

Previously unaware of Wu Li’s identity and seeing him kill Ruan Changheng with a single move, Hu Shan was very wary. But now, knowing it was Wu Li, Hu Shan no longer feared.

Hu Shan had watched a video of Wu Li fighting his disciple Liu Qi and had a general understanding of Wu Li’s strength. He had even met Wu Li personally that morning. From Wu Li’s spirit, demeanor, and behavior, Hu Shan could generally assess Wu Li’s level. Thus, Wu Li killing Ruan Changheng in one move must have been a fluke. If Wu Li truly had the strength to kill Ruan Changheng in one direct encounter, he wouldn’t have needed to run away...

Although Wu Li’s aura and Fist Intent were clearly stronger than that day, Hu Shan did not believe he would lose.

Because he was the number one in Southeast Asia!

Whoosh! Almost at the moment Hu Shan exerted himself, Wu Li threw away his mobile phone and also rushed forward.

The mobile phone, with its back facing up, fell into the bushes, leaving the live stream in total darkness.

"Ah, I can’t see anything!"

"I’m so frustrated; at the most crucial moment, I can’t see anything!"

"Was that man just killed by Wu Li? Just like that?"

"It seems so, Wu Li just leaped into the air."

"Hu Shan is the number one in Southeast Asia, can Wu Li win?"

"Two top masters clashing, and here I am, only able to listen, really makes me want to smash my phone!"

"I want to smash my phone too, this is so annoying, aaargh!"

...

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream were indescribably anxious. The previous chase had made it impossible for Wu Li to hold the camera steady as he had in the sewer, resulting in the live stream showing rapidly shifting images in dim light, making everything unclear. Yet everyone was desperate to know what would happen next, fearing they might miss something important in the next second, so despite the dizzying movements of the camera, many kept their eyes glued to the screen.

Right until Wu Li leaped into the air, turned around, and landed a Flying Horse Stepping on Swallow that hit Ruan Changheng from behind, the live stream only showed a fleeting shadow...

When Wu Li stopped and began talking with Hu Shan, the drama in the live stream finally unfolded.

A few short lines of dialogue, and Wu Li’s statement, "You dying is very important to me," brought great satisfaction to the viewers, who cheered enthusiastically. And when Hu Shan roared back, "Let’s see who dies then," even through the screens, everyone could feel an intense killing intent, as though eager to tear the opponent into pieces.

The battle between the two was on the verge of erupting!

But at such a tense and thrilling moment, everyone could see nothing because Wu Li obviously couldn’t hold the phone while fighting Hu Shan.

At this time, most male viewers felt as though they had spent hours downloading a long-awaited video, only to open it and find there was no picture, only sound...

Meanwhile, Wu Li paid no attention to the state of the live stream; all his focus was on Hu Shan.

The intense killing intent made Wu Li’s hair stand on end, as if a fierce python was hissing a scarlet tongue at him, about to open its massive jaws and bite!

Handling this kind of sensation in a fight put immense psychological pressure on a person. An ordinary person wouldn’t even have the courage to strike, let alone withstand Hu Shan’s overwhelming force - what’s colloquially known as breaking someone’s nerve.

Facing Hu Shan’s killing intent, Wu Li concentrated his mind, cleared it of all distractions, focusing solely on one point, using the Taoist term - Holding the Primordial Unity.

According to Taoist philosophy, the most ideal highest Realm is one of detachment and nothingness, which all beauty follows; but if one can’t achieve a heart of clear and void nothingness, managing to Concentrate and Guard is nearly akin to reaching Tao.

Just as a convex lens focuses sunlight to a single point, resulting in dazzling light and intense heat, this integration of heart and intent marks the birth of Fist Intent!

Wu Li continued forward, stepping fiercely, his spine shaking and bones resonating. After three steps, he pivoted his foot and launched a punch straight from his body’s midline, squarely aiming at Hu Shan.

Horse Form Cannon!

In Hu Shan’s eyes, Wu Li’s aura was also fierce, this Horse Form Cannon truly resembling an invincible ancient warlord, alone on his horse, unparalleled in battle!

Hu Shan’s Fist Intent was as sinister and variable as his Killing Fist, while Wu Li’s Fist Intent, like Xingyi, was ferocious and fearless, advancing relentlessly. Thus, Wu Li chose the mightiest Horse Form Cannon as his opening move, aiming straight at Hu Shan, intent on a direct confrontation.

In the next instant, the two collided.
