362: Chapter 356: Fight You with One Hand 362: Chapter 356: Fight You with One Hand With a playful look, Bai Xiaohang shifted his gaze from Zhang Zihao over to Ye Shihuan.
Ye Shihuan was only about 1.7 meters tall, not particularly imposing in stature.
However, there was a fierce air about him.
“Yo, you’ve got some guts there!”
“Are you sure you want to challenge me to a one-on-one duel?” Bai Xiaohang sized him up with an odd expression on his face.
“Absolutely, do you dare?” Ye Shihuan stared back at Bai Xiaohang with a provocative look and said.
As he spoke, he ripped open the shirt he was wearing.
He tore off several strips of cloth and tightly wrapped and bandaged his arm that was still bleeding from a gunshot wound.
“Alright then, don’t say Master Bai didn’t give you a chance.
Seeing that you’ve injured your arm, I’ll let you use one hand!”
With a mocking laugh, Bai Xiaohang swiftly approached Ye Shihuan.
Without a word, he raised the steel pipe in his hand and smashed it towards Ye Shihuan’s head.
“You play dirty, Bai?”
“I’m unarmed, and you fucking use a weapon?”
“You talk about a fair fight, is this your idea of fair?”
Ye Shihuan, who had assumed a fighting stance, was stunned in that instant.
He managed to dodge the steel pipe smashing towards his head, only having it land on his right shoulder.
But the force contained within that steel pipe still made him grimace in pain, nearly causing him to involuntarily grunt.
After retreating several steps, Ye Shihuan pointed at Bai Xiaohang and roared furiously.
“A man’s word is his bond, I only said I’d let you use one hand, I never said no weapons, did I?”
“Are you blind or what?
Can’t you see I’m only using one hand to hold the steel pipe?”
“Not using a weapon when I have one in my hand, and you want me to fight you unarmed?
Do you think I’m an idiot?”
With an eerie chuckle, Bai Xiaohang mocked him.
Raising the steel pipe in his hand, he struck at Ye Shihuan once more.
“Bastard Bai, you’re despicable and shameless…” Having taken a few more hits, Ye Shihuan used his arm to protect his head and avoid his vital parts from being struck, all while cursing nonstop.
“Stop giving me that bullshit.
I’m just asking you one thing, do you accept being beaten by Master Bai or not?”
Bai Xiaohang, a man of his word, had said he would only allow Ye Shihuan one hand, and thus he only used one hand to wield the steel pipe.
Seeing Ye Shihuan already cowering and curling up on the ground, while Bai Xiaohang was shouting, he casually took his free hand to light a cigarette for himself.
On one side, Zhang Zihao and the others, seeing Ye Shihuan—a notorious Xiangjiang roughneck—being beaten so miserably, could hardly bear to watch any longer.
Their sharpshooter hadn’t shown himself and they had no idea where he was hiding.
Just now, one of Ye Shihuan’s men had stealthily shifted his position, seemingly trying to sneak unnoticed towards the entrance of the abandoned factory.
But after a gunshot rang out and a bullet whizzed by his ear, his face turned white with fear and he nearly collapsed on the spot.
With that scene before them, including Zhang Zihao, the rest dared not make any rash moves.
Ye Shihuan, curled up on the ground and beaten like a dead dog, barely moved at all.
“Not so tough, are you?
You want to challenge me to a one-on-one with just that much ability?”
Bai Xiaohang had already stopped, one hand holding a cigarette and the other dragging the steel pipe on the ground.
His gaze shifted from Ye Shihuan and swept over Zhang Zihao and the rest: “Don’t say Master Bai didn’t give you a chance, who else wants a fair fight, to challenge me to a duel?
Step right up!”
Hearing his words, Zhang Zihao and the others exchanged glances, not uttering a sound, just staring blankly at one another.
With Bai Xiaohang’s imposing figure right there, and then looking at the rusty steel pipe in his hand, still smeared with Ye Shihuan’s fresh blood…
Going up to fight him unarmed in a one-on-one would be idiotic!
“Master Bai, we accept our defeat this time!”
“Just tell us what you want, directly!” After a moment of silence, Zhang Zihao said with a pained expression, in a deferential tone.
Among the crowd, he was the leader.
As the boss, no matter how frustrated he felt inside, he still had to step up when it was time to do so.
The only thing he felt fortunate about was that this guy named Master Bai and the other sharpshooter probably didn’t intend to take their lives.
Otherwise, with that sharpshooter’s magical marksmanship, by this time, they would have all been lying on the ground.
The ancients have always said, “As long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of running out of firewood.”
Since things have already turned out this way, Zhang Zihao felt that when it was time to bow his head, he could only choose to bow.
“No way, Brother Hao, you’re the number one tough guy in Xiangjiang!”
“I haven’t even had my fill of fun, and you’re giving in so quickly?” With a dissatisfied complaint and an expression as if he hadn’t had enough, Bai Xiaohang sized up Zhang Zihao.
“Compared with Master Bai, I, Zhang Zihao, am nothing!” Taking over the conversation, Zhang Zihao complimented him at just the right time.
Immediately afterwards, he looked at his own men and exclaimed, “Watches, wallets, anything of value on you, hurry up, take them out…”
It must be said, those who had mixed with the wealthy Zhang Zihao to get by still had some assets.
The items they volunteered included no fewer than three Rolex gold watches.
However, those who followed Ye Shihuan were a little shabby, and nothing of value could be found on them.
“Do you really think I, Master Bai, am here to rob you?”
“Brother Hao, do you think I’m that shallow?”
While grumbling dissatisfiedly, Bai Xiaohang casually pocketed the items he liked from the pile.
Other various items, he also bagged up properly.
Of course, he wasn’t interested in these miscellaneous things; he just felt that since Zhang Zihao and the others had handed them over, they couldn’t be returned.
As for what to do with them?
When he went back, he would just toss them into a trash can.
“All of you, take off your clothes that Master Bai likes the look of, come on!” After sorting out the miscellaneous items, Bai Xiaohang’s gaze shifted and fell upon Zhang Zihao’s white suit.
“Off, I’ll take them off right now…” Since he had already admitted defeat, Zhang Zihao was quite cooperative.
As the boss, he led by example, and once he moved first, his men naturally didn’t dare to have any objections.
When he was stripped down to just his underwear, he looked pitiful and hesitant to proceed.
“Master Bai, could you leave us some dignity, and let us keep our underwear…” Like a wronged little wife, Zhang Zihao glanced at Bai Xiaohang and tentatively said.
However, he only got halfway through his sentence.
Seeing Bai Xiaohang’s unfriendly face and the steel pipe he had been dragging on the ground now raised, Zhang Zihao promptly and deftly removed that last piece of underwear as well.
“Good, quite sensible!”
“Now, walk over to the corner, hands on your head, face the wall, and squat down.”
“I’m in a good mood today, Master Bai wants to hear someone sing.
You all, give me a chorus and sing ‘East is Red’!”
After a few sinister chuckles, Bai Xiaohang spoke up again and ordered.
“Ah…”
“Master Bai, I don’t know ‘East is Red’, can we change to another song, is that okay?”
“I don’t know that song either, but I can hum a few lines of the popular songs here in Xiangjiang!”
Zhang Zihao and the others, each stuttering and looking at each other, several couldn’t help but begin pleading with Bai Xiaohang.
“If I tell you to sing ‘East is Red’, don’t negotiate terms with Master Bai!”
“You don’t know how to sing it, no problem, come on, I’ll teach you.”
“Everyone together now, ‘East is Red, the sun rises…'”
Holding the steel pipe in his hand, Bai Xiaohang corralled Zhang Zihao and his men to squat down by the wall corner.
After Bai Xiaohang hummed a few lines, he let the bunch start singing on their own.
Whoever’s singing didn’t please him, he’d take up the steel pipe and give them a few harsh whacks.
It turned out, a person’s potential is limitless.
Under Bai Xiaohang’s coercion, after only two or three repetitions, Zhang Zihao and his crew’s chorus of ‘East is Red’ already sounded quite decent.
As for Bai Xiaohang himself, he took out a lighter and set fire to the clothes Zhang Zihao and the others had taken off.
The thought of those guys having to run back naked afterwards caused him to lose control and smirk devilishly.
