Chapter 114 【A Fate Worse Than Death】Double Chapter, Climax!

Jin Zhengwei was on his way down with Li Dongguo when he suddenly heard Gu Feng's words. He flew into a rage and said, "What the hell did you just say?"

As he spoke, Jin Zhengwei charged rapidly toward Gu Feng.

Clearly, Jin Zhengwei felt he hadn't vented enough earlier and was still in a foul mood. Now Gu Feng was practically begging for a beating.

Li Dongguo noticed Jin Zhengwei's move and his expression changed drastically. He reached out to pull him back but was a step too late. In a panic, he cried out, "Xiao Wei, come back!"

Jin Zhengwei was unaware of Gu Feng's strength, but Li Dongguo could tell that Gu Feng was a trained fighter.

Gu Feng narrowed his eyes, watching Jin Zhengwei charge toward him without moving an inch.

Jin Zhengwei heard Li Dongguo's warning, but seeing Gu Feng standing completely still, he didn't pull back. Instead, he thought to himself, *You brought this on yourself—don't blame me!*

"Looking for death!"

When Jin Zhengwei was just one meter away, Gu Feng pushed off the ground and delivered a powerful front kick!

"Bang!"

Gu Feng's foot slammed hard into Jin Zhengwei's body, producing a dull thud. Jin Zhengwei's body flew backward, just like Xu Qiang, and was sent flying right off the platform.

Jin Zhengwei crashed heavily to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Gu Feng in disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that Gu Feng had kicked him off the stage with a single blow.

"That kick was for Xu Qiang," Gu Feng said coldly, sweeping a glance at Jin Zhengwei before narrowing his eyes at Li Dongguo. "Now it's your turn."

Li Dongguo shot a murderous glare at Gu Feng. He then quickly jumped off the ring, rushed to Jin Zhengwei's side in a few steps, and checked his injuries.

"Uncle Li, help me kill that bastard—"

Jin Zhengwei spat out a mouthful of blood and blacked out.

"Master Li Dongguo..." At that moment, three referees from the World Taekwondo Federation's Hong Kong branch approached.

"Take him to the hospital," Li Dongguo said coldly. He then grabbed the railing with both hands and leaped back onto the ring.

The three referees had heard Gu Feng's words earlier. Seeing Li Dongguo jump onto the ring now, they understood what was about to happen, and their faces fell. One of them looked at Gu Feng with concern and said, "Sir, you should apologize to Master Li Dongguo immediately. Don't play with fire!"

In their eyes, Gu Feng competing against Li Dongguo was practically suicidal. They were well aware of Li Dongguo's record from his younger days—he was practically a butcher, killing without batting an eye.

"Shut up!" Gu Feng shot a cold glance at the speaker, his expression clearly displeased.

Xu Qiang had already conceded, but Li Dongguo didn't stop the match. Instead, he allowed Jin Zhengwei to sneak-attack Xu Qiang. Moreover, under those circumstances, if Li Dongguo had truly wanted to stop Jin Zhengwei, he could have easily done so.

This could only mean one thing: Li Dongguo did it on purpose.

What angered Gu Feng even more was that Li Dongguo had brutally attacked Xu Qiang in the end—something Gu Feng could not tolerate!

The three referees had intended to warn Gu Feng but were unexpectedly shouted down by him. They decided not to say anything more, thinking that if Gu Feng wanted to throw his life away, there was nothing they could do.

Meanwhile, the audience in the arena went wild. When they saw Gu Feng jump onto the ring, some students who recognized him began shouting, "Teacher Gu, beat that shameless Korean bastard to death!"

"Beat the shameless Korean bastard to death!"

Other students joined in, shouting loudly. Clearly, they were all infuriated by Li Dongguo's despicable behavior.

Among those students, Lin Jiaying was the most anxious. Although she didn't know Li Dongguo's true strength, the mere title of "9th Dan black belt" was enough to make her worry for Gu Feng. She stared at Gu Feng on the ring with deep concern, her brows tightly knitted, sweat seeping from her palms, and her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Gu Feng, you must not get hurt!" Lin Jiaying thought to herself, then took a deep breath and shouted along with her classmates, "Teacher Gu, beat that shameless Korean bastard to death!"

At that moment, not only Lin Jiaying but also Xia Wei, Xu Qin, Tian Tao, and others were sweating bullets for Gu Feng. They were furious about Li Dongguo's actions, but they were even more worried about Gu Feng's safety.

Just then, the Korean girl named Li Zhenzi quickly ran to the edge of the ring and shouted loudly at Li Dongguo on the stage, "Uncle Li, that bastard injured Zhengwei! You must kill that bastard—"

On the ring, Li Dongguo stared sinisterly at Gu Feng, a faint, almost imperceptible sneer curling at the corner of his mouth. "You just said you wanted me to leave my life here?"

Gu Feng narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"With just you?" Li Dongguo scoffed disdainfully, then added, "Back in the underground fighting rings, I've killed sixteen Chinese. You'll be the seventeenth!"

As he spoke, Li Dongguo's eyes instantly narrowed. His terrifying gaze felt like a knife pressed against Gu Feng's neck, imposing an immense pressure on him.

Gu Feng took a slight breath, his pores tightening all over his body, his nerves instantly taut.

At that moment, Gu Feng saw no one else—only Li Dongguo. The surrounding noises gradually faded away, and his heart grew calm.

"Thud!"

Suddenly, Li Dongguo moved. His right foot stomped hard on the ring's floor, using the force to charge toward Gu Feng. His speed was lightning-fast, stirring up a gust of wind.

The ring's floor was made of wooden planks, and Li Dongguo's stomp actually cracked the boards. The sheer force was terrifying.

The moment Li Dongguo moved, Gu Feng also sprang into action. He didn't dodge—instead, he lunged straight toward Li Dongguo!

Whether it was the spectators in the stands or those around the ring who had intended to persuade the two to abandon the fight, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats when they saw the terrifying speed at which the two moved. Under everyone's watchful eyes, both men simultaneously launched kicks.

"Bang!"

Their legs collided fiercely, producing a dull thud. Both had used their full strength, and after the impact, each took a step back!

The brief exchange startled Li Dongguo. He hadn't expected Gu Feng's leg techniques to be so formidable.

On his first day in Hong Kong, when Li Dongguo saw Gu Feng's hands, he had recognized him as a trained fighter, but he had only thought Gu Feng's fist techniques were decent.

Just now, he had taken the initiative, gaining an advantage in both momentum and speed. Yet, when Gu Feng clashed with him head-on, he hadn't fallen behind.

In the split second Li Dongguo was stunned, Gu Feng pushed off the ground and delivered a side kick toward Li Dongguo, moving even faster than Li Dongguo had earlier!

Li Dongguo was inwardly shocked. However, as an experienced and powerful martial artist, even while startled, he swiftly dodged to the side, instantly moving two or three meters away, completely out of Gu Feng's attack range.

Gu Feng's kick missed, and as he was about to retract his leg, Li Dongguo didn't give him the chance. He instantly closed the distance, raised his arm, and threw a straight punch whistling toward Gu Feng's head!

Li Dongguo's punch had been carefully planned—both the angle and the power were nearly perfect. The fist hadn't even arrived, but the wind from it already did.

Yet, to Li Dongguo's surprise, faced with such a fierce punch, Gu Feng didn't dodge at all. Instead, he swung his own fist straight toward Li Dongguo's!

"Looking for death!"

Seeing Gu Feng throw a punch, Li Dongguo sneered inwardly. Most people only knew his leg techniques were formidable, but they didn't realize his fists were just as hard—he simply rarely used them!

Moreover, his punch was executed with excellent power and angle, while Gu Feng's was thrown in haste. The difference was too great.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided mid-air with a loud crash. Both Gu Feng and Li Dongguo's expressions changed, and they involuntarily took a step back!

When their fists met, both felt as if they had struck an iron plate—the pain was intense.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

The sound of wooden planks breaking snapped in quick succession. The planks beneath both Gu Feng and Li Dongguo's feet could not withstand the immense force and snapped directly.

Outside the ring, everyone was stunned by this sight. It was like something out of a movie, unbelievable to watch.

Inside the ring, neither Gu Feng nor Li Dongguo dared to drop their guard. Both knew they had encountered a tough opponent. Gu Feng had assumed Li Dongguo's punching skills were lacking, unaware that his punches were no less impressive than his kicks. Meanwhile, Li Dongguo had thought Gu Feng excelled only with his fists, not expecting his footwork to be equally skilled.

After the brief exchange, both Gu Feng and Li Dongguo cooled down. They'd been trying to finish the other off quickly, but now they understood that recklessness would only get them killed. Anyone who really knew martial arts understood that the real fight was only starting now.

Neither Gu Feng nor Li Dongguo used the force from snapping the planks to charge forward. Instead, they stared each other down, their feet moving rapidly as they looked for an opening.

The slowing pace of the match allowed the audience outside to breathe a collective sigh of relief. Among all the spectators, the three referees from the Taekwondo Federation were utterly shocked. As members of the World Taekwondo Federation, they were well aware of Li Dongguo's formidable strength. They never imagined that Gu Feng could hold his own in a direct confrontation, even forcing Li Dongguo to hesitate before making a move.

Suddenly—

Gu Feng moved. His body lunged forward and threw a punch, the fist whistling through the air with a "whoosh."

Li Dongguo instinctively stepped back.

At that moment, Gu Feng's supporting leg drove down hard, propelling him forward in a leap as he unleashed a fierce push kick!

Li Dongguo hadn't anticipated Gu Feng's sudden change in technique. There was no time to dodge, so he quickly crossed his arms in front of his body to block.

"Thud!"

Gu Feng's foot slammed into Li Dongguo's arms with a dull thud, sending Li Dongguo stumbling backward.

Gu Feng had been waiting for this opportunity. Seeing Li Dongguo retreat uncontrollably, he swiftly closed the distance, aiming to corner him.

Noticing Gu Feng's advance, a cold glint flashed in Li Dongguo's eyes. Halting his retreat, he quickly took two steps back before stomping hard on the railing at the edge of the ring. Using it as a springboard, he leaped into the air and launched a powerful kick with his right leg!

A flying kick!

Gu Feng hadn't expected Li Dongguo to use the railing to execute a flying kick. Having charged in too aggressively, he had no time to evade. In desperation, Gu Feng forcefully twisted his waist, arching his body backward as his hands firmly braced against the ground.

The Iron Bridge!

As Gu Feng used the Iron Bridge to dodge, Li Dongguo's right leg grazed past Gu Feng's chest. The sharp gust of wind left a searing, burning sensation on Gu Feng's chest.

However, Gu Feng had no time to dwell on the pain. Supported by one hand, he coiled his waist again and explosively kicked out with his right leg!

Simultaneously, Li Dongguo, having missed his kick, performed a backward kick in mid-air, reminiscent of a cornered rabbit kicking at an eagle.

"Thud!"

Their legs collided fiercely. Li Dongguo, with no leverage in the air, was sent flying by Gu Feng's kick. Mid-flight, he swiftly grabbed the railing, spun around it, and landed back in the ring.

The tremendous force also caused the plank beneath Gu Feng's supporting hand to crack with a sharp snap, breaking once more and trapping his hand.

Seeing this, a cruel smile curled on Li Dongguo's lips. He dashed two steps toward Gu Feng, shifted his weight forward onto his left foot, and raised his right knee toward his chest, his fists held before him. Then, fully extending his hip, he straightened his right leg upward, lifting it high above his head before bringing it crashing down.

A downward axe kick!

The axe kick is one of the more domineering attacks in Taekwondo. With Li Dongguo's leg strength, if it connected, it would be fatal!

At this moment, almost everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed unwaveringly on Gu Feng in the ring. Lin Jiaying even closed her eyes, her body going limp as she nearly fainted.

Facing Li Dongguo's brutal strike, Gu Feng's expression also changed. His hand was trapped in the broken plank, with no time to pull it free—even if he could, it would be too late.

Gu Feng fiercely gripped the broken plank, twisted his wrist, and forcefully wrenched his body to the side!

"Crack!"

Li Dongguo's axe kick slammed into the spot where Gu Feng's head had been just moments before, smashing a large hole in the floor. His foot also became lodged in the broken wood, and his body lurched uncontrollably forward.

Li Dongguo's face paled in shock; he hadn't expected Gu Feng to evade his attack.

With no other choice, Li Dongguo strained his waist, forcing his body to fall backward while keeping his right leg rigid. He kicked hard against the plank. With another sharp crack, his foot pulled free, but his body crashed to the floor.

Meanwhile, Gu Feng seized this chance to wrench his trapped fist from the broken wood. His knuckles were a bloody mess, crimson liquid steadily oozing out. In his desperate dodge from Li Dongguo's fierce attack, Gu Feng had exerted force with his hand, tearing it on the splintered wood.

Now, Gu Feng had no time to tend to the pain in his palm. Before Li Dongguo could rise, he lunged forward, closing the distance swiftly.

Li Dongguo had just freed his right foot and was about to get up when he saw a dark shadow rushing toward him. Startled, he performed a "lazy donkey roll" to the side, a move both awkward and undignified.

To his surprise, however, Gu Feng didn't attack immediately. Watching Li Dongguo execute the roll, Gu Feng followed closely behind him, let out a cold laugh, and unleashed a powerful axe kick of his own!

"Crack!"

This time, it wasn't the plank that broke, but Li Dongguo's ribs. Gu Feng's axe kick landed squarely on Li Dongguo's chest. The tremendous force shattered his ribs outright, causing the entire ring to shudder. The wooden planks groaned with a series of creaks, seemingly unable to bear such immense power.

Li Dongguo's face instantly turned as pale as paper. A mouthful of blood surged up his throat and spilled from his lips.

Without pause, Gu Feng stepped on Li Dongguo's knee and grabbed his ankle with both hands!

As the audience held its collective breath, Gu Feng twisted with all his might!

"Snap!"

The sound of bone breaking echoed across the stadium. Simultaneously, Li Dongguo's facial muscles contorted in agony, and a pained scream tore from his throat.

His expression grim, Gu Feng, after breaking one of Li Dongguo's legs, seized the other. Amidst gasps from some spectators, he twisted again with brutal force!

"Ah!"

Excruciating pain wrenched a hoarse scream from Li Dongguo, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that Gu Feng showed no intention of letting him go, he felt fear—true, paralyzing fear!

He was no longer the young man of his youth. Back then, he had no money, no status. He had relied on his own fists in underground fights to build his strength, clawing his way to wealth and position.

Now, he had everything. He had more money than he could spend, could sleep with South Korea's top celebrities, and drink the world's most expensive wines. With all this, he desperately did not want to die.

Trembling, he pleaded in terror, "Please, spare my life!"

"Fine."

Gu Feng's voice was icy and detached, like that of a machine. As soon as the word left his lips, his right hand shot out, hoisting Li Dongguo up. Then, with his hand shaped like a blade, he struck down viciously on the Dazhui acupoint at the base of Li Dongguo's neck!

"Ah!" Li Dongguo let out an agonized shriek. Immediately after, he realized he could no longer move his body.

The Dazhui acupoint is a vital point in the human body. An attack there can cause severe consequences—ranging from complete, lifelong paralysis to death.

Clearly, Gu Feng had controlled his strength precisely. He hadn't killed Li Dongguo, but had instead condemned him to a life of total paralysis.

Originally, Gu Feng had intended to kill Li Dongguo to avenge Xu Qiang. But upon second thought, for someone like Li Dongguo, living out the rest of his days as a paralyzed cripple would be a fate worse than death. After all, he had once stood at the pinnacle of the Taekwondo world. From now on, he would be a useless wreck, utterly and completely broken.

"You demon!" Li Dongguo spat through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot, breath ragged, and face twisted in fury.

Gu Feng narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "From this day forward, you will lose everything..."

"No!" Li Dongguo's voice was filled with abject terror. He stared fixedly at Gu Feng, a fate worse than death welling up inside him. Trembling, he implored, "Kill me! Just kill me!"

At that moment, a hush fell over the entire venue. Everyone held their breath, their gazes fixed vacantly on Gu Feng in the ring.

In the ring, one of Gu Feng's arms was stained red with blood. His eyes were narrowed, his expression ferocious, like a killing machine, utterly terrifying.

While thrilling fights might excite these middle school students, this bloody spectacle had truly frightened them.

Not only them, but even Xu Qin, the principal of San Yuan Middle School, and the three representatives from the World Taekwondo Federation who were watching the duel around the ring were stunned.

The turn of events had taken everyone by surprise. No one had expected Gu Feng to defeat Li Dongguo, and certainly not that Li Dongguo would plead with Gu Feng to kill him.

However, Gu Feng ignored Li Dongguo. Instead, he quickly jumped down from the ring, picked up his phone from the grass, and swiftly dialed Ling Wei's number. "Ling Wei, how is Xiaoqiang doing now? Which hospital did you go to?"

"Teacher Gu, he's still out. The doctor says his condition is critical. I took him to my family's private hospital, called Taihang Hospital." Ling Wei's voice was full of worry. As a friend, he desperately hoped Xu Qiang would pull through.

Hearing Ling Wei's words, Gu Feng's heart tightened. He said gravely, "I'll be right there!"

With that, with all eyes on him, Gu Feng quickly walked over to Xu Qin and said, "Principal Xu, what happened today is my personal matter. It has nothing to do with the school. I will take full responsibility for everything!"

Without waiting for Xu Qin's reply, and amidst a torrent of abuse from the members of the San Yuan Middle School visiting delegation, Gu Feng swiftly left the field.
