Chapter 252: Chapter 229: The Real Ambush

"OH my God! What a fast punch, such great power!"

"How did he realize there was someone behind him?"

"If I couldn’t see that he didn’t have an earpiece, I’d even suspect he was cheating, getting secret information."

"I still think he cheated, maybe a micro earpiece?"

"Hey, this is a UFC event, why would Dana White help someone from Hua Country cheat against Charles? That’s a UFC star."

"Don’t you think the techniques he used were really cool?"

"Wow, an Eastern hottie, so charming!"

...

At that moment, the attention of the American audience was entirely focused on Wu Li. Some discussed the authenticity of the recent events, while others thought Wu Li’s moves were incredibly stylish, and with his looks and physique, he appeared especially charismatic.

When Wu Li had eliminated four attackers, on the other side, Charles’s progress was quite smooth as well.

He didn’t have Wu Li’s sharp sixth sense or much practical experience, and he rarely got into street fights because, as a UFC fighter, getting involved in brawls outside was severely punished. So, Charles usually had a bunch of bodyguards with him and barely needed to fight himself.

Charles walked along the street, watching his surroundings vigilantly, carefully keeping a distance from people and occasionally looking back to see if anyone was following him.

This behavior caused headaches for those planning to ambush him from behind, making them wary of showing themselves.

When a group approached him head-on, Charles frowned and steered clear, maintaining some distance from them.

However, the street was only so wide and crowded, making it impossible to avoid everyone. So, when he brushed past a couple, an attacker who was hiding behind them made a move.

The attacker was a professional boxer, so this time, only one person launched the ambush.

"Manochi, a middleweight boxer from the IBF, one of America’s top four professional boxing leagues, with a record of 17 wins and 10 losses."

A line of text also appeared on Charles’s screen.

"Jeesh, the professional wrestlers attack Wu Li, and now a professional boxer attacks Charles—it seems a bit biased."

"Exactly. Boxers don’t train their legs, and in street fights, they are universally recognized as less capable than those trained in Mixed Martial Arts, even more so when Charles is a master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and dominates in ground fighting."

"It’s still okay, at least this guy is a middleweight boxer, heavier than Charles by one class."

...

Upon seeing Manochi’s introduction, netizens from Hua Country immediately couldn’t help but complain.

Boxers have a big disadvantage in street fights against Mixed Martial Arts fighters because the rules are so different.

Manochi knew this, so he threw a heavy punch right from the start!

Charles noticed the ambush but was too late to dodge and could only raise his arms to block.

Bang!

Charles was pushed back by Manochi’s powerful punch, as the opponent was a weight class heavier and hit much harder.

Instead of waiting for Manochi to follow up with more punches, Charles immediately went on the offensive.

Bending his waist, squatting low, pushing off the ground, reaching out.

A dive for the legs!

Manochi reacted quickly, swiftly backing off. However, he had never encountered such a technique in his career and lacked the experience to counter, allowing Charles to successfully grab his legs and then bring him down to the ground.

His opponent was on the ground, and Charles quickly completed a turn on the ground, rotating his body 180 degrees. He clamped the opponent’s left leg with his legs and tightly wrapped his hands around the opponent’s ankle to execute a locking skill.

Manochi had no experience in ground fighting, and before he could react, his left leg was locked by Charles. After struggling a few times, he realized he couldn’t break free using sheer strength and hurriedly tapped to signal his surrender.

Charles released his opponent and stood up.

From encountering the enemy to ultimately tackling and swiftly locking him, the whole process took less than 10 seconds. Although Charles didn’t win as stylishly as Wu Li, he still demonstrated his formidable strength.

Facing a professional boxer like Manochi, who was unskilled in ground techniques, was essentially no different from facing an ordinary person. As long as Charles could seize the opportunity to take down his opponent, even if the opponent was strong, Charles could complete the lock in a matter of seconds. Once locked, even a woman could easily subdue a strong man.

"Beautiful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!"

"Charles really didn’t disappoint!"

"See? In street fighting, Mixed Martial Arts is definitely stronger!"

...

American audiences also praised Charles. Among those watching the live broadcast were many of his fans, as he was a UFC star with a large following.

After getting up, Charles continued forward. As he passed a row of benches filled with people, he was ambushed by two ordinary attackers crouching behind the bench.

The two suddenly stood up and lunged at Charles.

Charles reacted quickly, immediately punching one in the face.

Bang!

Even with a hood on, his punch caused the attacker’s nose to bleed profusely, making him sit down hard on the ground while holding his nose.

But Charles was also grabbed by another person, and at the same time, someone suddenly rushed out from the crowd on Charles’s left, quickly pouncing on him.

This ambush was also a team of three.

Charles remained composed. The person who grabbed him was a strong man both taller and heavier than him, and they grappled together.

Charles grabbed the opponent’s shoulder with one hand and the waist with the other. He tripped the opponent with his right foot, exerted force, and threw the strong man out.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu not only involves locking skills but also throwing skills, which Charles was proficient in. How could he lock his opponent without first bringing him down?

He ousted his opponent in about three seconds, eliminating him from the match, then Charles turned to deal with another attacker who was rushing toward him.

Seeing his companion thrown down, the attacker hesitated and slowed down.

But Charles, unwilling to waste time, directly stepped forward, grabbed the person, and threw him out in just a second.

...

Wu Li and Charles were headed for the center of Lu’en Street, where another street intersected with it perpendicularly, creating a crossroad.

Not far from the left of the crossroads, there was a building. On the seventh floor of this building was a Martial Arts Hall Wu Li had visited before, called "Hongmen Li’s Tai Chi Fist Hall."

Today, the hall had many visitors, all significant figures of New York’s underworld.

They were invited by Hongmen to watch a match between Hongmen’s Double Flower Red Stick, Li San, and the Guandong Association’s martial arts prodigy, Xiaoze Wutian.

On the first floor of the hall, as people gradually arrived, the Hongmen members hosted them and had them seated.

Meanwhile, on the eighth floor in a conference room, dozens of people armed with guns were waiting.

They were about to launch a real ambush!
