Chapter 661: A Super Duel Propped Up by Gadgets (Part 2)

Following the command to start, Tu Yu didn’t rush to make a move, but put his hands behind his back and curled a corner of his mouth as he looked at Du Laoliu and said leisurely, “Do you want me to let you make a few moves first?”

“Sure,” Du Laoliu said expressionlessly.

Tu Yu was momentarily stunned and then couldn’t help laughing.

“Haha, well, hahaha, you are honest this time! It is useless since no matter how much you struggle, the end result will still be the same!”

Tu Yu wiped the corners of his eyes as if he was laughing until tears came out.

While Tu Yu roared with laughter, the expression on Du Laoliu’s face remained unchanged. Shi Gan and the others were laughing at the side of the stage.

“Let him laugh for a while since he will not have the chance to laugh later!” Xu Peng sneered from ringside as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Shi Gan was laughing, but stopped halfway when he thought of the punishment and muttered, “To clean the toilets in exchange for this… It doesn’t seem worthwhile!”

Tong Lan somehow managed to put a log on the ground that was more than a meter in height. She sat there by herself with both legs swinging and said after hearing him, “You are a fool!”

The corner of Shi Gan’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t reply.

One minute later, after Du Laoliu didn’t make any moves, Tu Yu said impatiently, “Get a move on! What are you waiting for? Don’t tell me you are prepared to stand there forever.”

“Oh? You are too impatient. Are you anxious to lose?” Du Laoliu sneered. One hand was holding a cylinder under the cloak with one finger latched to the ring.

“Me lose?” Tu Yu started laughing. “Are you kidding me?”

Is this the correct way to pull this? Du Laoliu wondered silently before exerting his strength.

The ring came off with a slight clicking sound.

After that, he raised his hand, parted his cloak, and took it off backward. The crowd saw what was underneath the cloak: a magnificent leather skirt, some ropes with cylinders on them, and other unusual stuff.

Tong Zhenye and Tu Wan immediately turned and stared at Ren Baqian.

“Sir Ren!” Tu Wan couldn’t resist saying.

“This has nothing to do with me! They must have stolen stuff from my office! I will punish these thieves when I get back!” He looked and sounded so serious that it appeared as if this had nothing to do with him.

Since Ren Baqian said so, Tu Wan couldn’t say anything else and just said resignedly, “I hope so.”

Du Laoliu threw the cylinder in his hand at his opponent, grabbed a pair of sunglasses hanging on the rope, and put them on.

Tu Yu saw that object flying toward him and said, “Child play!”

However, he retreated a few steps since he was somewhat wary of this unknown thing.

Yet, this cautiousness did not prepare him for the upcoming experience.

Boom!

That thing exploded in midair.

There was a blinding flash. Next, it was as if another sun had appeared.

At that moment, everything in front of their eyes became white. Aside from this white glare, nothing could be seen. The accompanying blast startled the crowd, and they didn’t know what had hit them.

After more than 10 seconds, the crowd gradually recovered their sight and were able to see the stage clearly,

The people at ringside were badly affected, so naturally, Tu Yu was even worse off.

Since he was staring at the cylinder the whole time, the blinding flash hit his eyes directly. In addition, the loud explosion erupted near him, causing him to feel like his head had been smashed by a hammer while also deafening him.

Losing his sight and hearing sent him into a momentarily frenzy.

However, aboriginal youths weren’t rookies when it comes to fighting. Even the children of the court officials sparred with the guards frequently and fought with each other quite often…

It wasn’t too much to say that every young aboriginal was an experienced fighter!

After panicking, Tu Yu instantly retreated madly and then circled the stage repeatedly based on his memory of the layout of the stage.

Damn it! Once my vision is restored, I can easily defeat him!

Tu Yu cursed in his mind, closed his eyes, and continued to adjust his position. Although he couldn’t see, he was faster than Du Laoliu. Plus, the stage was big, forcing Du Laoliu to keep on changing his position in order to intercept Tu Yu.

The sudden loss of his sight caused him to stagger.

This was what the crowd saw when they recovered their sight.

This is the appropriate move! Many people nodded secretly in their hearts. Subsequently, they began to wonder what had caused that bright flash and loud explosion.

As the crowd discussed this on the sidelines, they quickly started looking at the carriage of the empress from time to time.

After all, it was obvious who the source of this never-seen-before object was, and it wasn’t wrong to suspect Ren Baqian.

“It really has nothing to do with me.” Ren Baqian noticed that the crowd was looking at him occasionally, so he displayed an innocent look.

“Who do you think believes you?” the empress asked. “Still, that thing is really useful, especially at night.”

“I have recently brought some back. Your Majesty can send them to Zi Donglai to use in night attacks,” Ren Baqian said. Lately, he had brought over a huge amount of the stun grenades during his free time and stored more than 10,000 of them in Pingle Park, filling a whole room.

“Fine!”

The two exchanged some small talk, looked at the stage again, and saw that Du Changkong was finally getting close to Tu Yu. As he flexed his bulging muscles, a thunderous sound was heard as he swung his mace at Tu Yu.

Bang!

Although Tu Yu couldn’t see or hear, he could feel the thunderous wave of the mace. In a flash, he blocked it with his iron baton and then wielded his heavy baton to generate a wave that filled the air with baton afterimages. They were like raindrops directed at Du Laoliu. Every strike could form a basin-sized pit in the ground, and mud was seen splashing in the surrounding area.

Tu Yu haphazardly wielded his baton at Du Laoliu to force him away and turned to retreat without any hesitation.

The scene of Tu Yu retreating with Du Laoliu chasing after him was repeated again and again.

“In the long run, Tu Yu will recover his sight, so it’s time to use the gun!” Du Laoliu said to himself.

He took out the pistol without hesitation as he chased Tu Yu and pulled the trigger.

Ta.

The expected crisp sounds of gunshots didn’t materialize, and no bullets flew out. Instead, a small flame was seen at the muzzle, but it fizzled out soon.

Du Laoliu was dumbfounded.

Looking incredulous, he repeatedly pulled the trigger and caused small flames to erupt from the muzzle.

Over and over again, he pulled the trigger and the flame flared.

“Sh*t!” Du Laoliu finally realized that this thing looked like a gun, but wasn’t one.

Not only was Du Laoliu dumbfounded, but even Xu Peng, Shi Gan, and the others were astounded by this situation. That was a gun! There was no doubt about it! They had often seen Yagui using it.

Yagui didn’t carry the big one every day, but he often had a small gun at his waist and had used it to shoot people more than once or twice. How come it wasn’t working now?

The empress looked quizzically at Ren Baqian and asked, “What is that?”

Ren Baqian looked at the stage and said with anguish, “It’s a lighter! They stole the wrong thing! I hid a P22[1.P22 – A semi-automatic pistol chambered for .22 LR rimfire ammunition] in my office!”

The empress fell silent.
