Capítulo 1471: Chapter 1472: Wu Jing’s Move Shocks Everyone

On the surface, it seemed that Cheng Wulan had outmaneuvered the opponent, but the numbers on both sides were about the same. If a fight were to break out, it would all come down to individual skill.

At this time, Wang Li and Wen Shengbao quietly withdrew to the side, planning to act when the moment was right.

Wang Li looked at Wen Shengbao with admiration; it seemed Wen Shengbao did have some talent.

At that moment, Ivan was already walking toward Cheng Wulan. With Xiang Yu not present, he believed no one could stop him.

Cheng Wulan knew she wasn’t a match for him, but in this life-and-death moment, she gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

“Let me handle this,” Wu Jing suddenly said, standing beside Cheng Wulan.

“You’re not his match,” Cheng Wulan’s eyes were sharp as knives, then she rolled up her sleeves and moved forward.

Wu Jing grabbed her and was the first to kick towards Ivan.

Xiang Yu had instructed him upon leaving to protect Cheng Wulan, and he was determined to do so at all costs.

“Be careful,” Cheng Wulan cried out in surprise when she saw Wu Jing make his move.

She had never seen Wu Jing in action and didn’t know his capabilities. In her heart, Ivan was a master among masters, whom only Xiang Yu could suppress; no one else stood a chance against him.

If that weren’t the case, Ivan wouldn’t have such a standing in the mercenary world.

Upon seeing a nameless individual challenge him, Ivan sneered and said, “Since you’re courting death, I’ll oblige. When I cripple your legs, don’t cry.”

Wu Jing said nothing and quickly attacked.

Ivan dodged Wu Jing’s kick and then kicked in return. In his estimation, Wu Jing was a one-trick opponent.

As his kick swept across, Wu Jing quickly jumped back and then executed a sweeping kick.

Ivan leapt back, then jumped up and aimed a kick at Wu Jing’s head, using his full force.

He didn’t want to waste any more energy on an unknown opponent; it was utterly pointless.

Seeing the attack, Wu Jing split his legs, performed a front split, and forcefully pushed Ivan’s ankle upward with both hands.

Ivan hadn’t expected such flexibility from his opponent and found himself inadvertently toppled to the ground.

Frustrated, he gritted his teeth; to be tricked by a nobody was a severe blow to his reputation.

He wanted to stand up to teach his opponent a lesson, but Wu Jing suddenly launched a side kick.

Startled, Ivan couldn’t believe the ferocity of the attack.

He placed his hands over his head, intending to take the hit.

“Watch out,” Cai Zhong finally couldn’t help but shout.

Watching from the side, he understood the power behind Wu Jing’s move. Initially, he thought Ivan handling a no-name opponent would be no problem.

Ivan’s reputation preceded him, yet it turned out he struggled this much.

Just as his words fell, Wu Jing’s leg came crashing down.

The moment Ivan’s arm made contact with Wu Jing’s leg, he realized he had underestimated his opponent, but it was too late.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound rang out, and everyone saw Ivan kneeling on the ground.

Wu Jing’s strike used all his strength, something Ivan couldn’t withstand.

“Ah…”

Ivan’s arm was utterly broken, the excruciating pain almost unbearable, but the psychological blow was the worst.

Proud of his combat skills, Ivan understood what it meant to meet one’s match since the arrival of Xiang Yu. But being defeated so easily by an unknown adversary was unacceptable to him.

The unprecedented feeling of humiliation was unbearable.

Wu Jing stood calmly, unmoved, as if he had just casually defeated someone, finding nothing worth celebrating.

He had no idea the Ivan before him was a well-known figure in the mercenary world.

Behind him, Cheng Wulan was dumbfounded, standing slack-jawed at Wu Jing’s back as if seeing a monster.

She couldn’t believe that this skinny guy had beaten Ivan.

“What kind of monsters does Xiang Yu have around him?” Cheng Wulan couldn’t help but think.

In reality, Ivan and Wu Jing were nearly equal in skill, but Ivan had been too overconfident.

With Wu Jing’s unassuming appearance that didn’t reveal his proficiency, it led to an easy defeat for Ivan.

“So this is all the infamous Instructor Ivan can do,” sneered Cai Zhong from behind.

Originally, he thought Ivan’s involvement would ensure success, but he was easily defeated instead.

Lying on the ground, Ivan couldn’t get up; if there were a hole, he would gladly crawl into it.

All around, people were hacking at each other with knives, but it was clear the Orchid Mercenary Corps was no match for the Rookie Mercenary Corp.

Furthermore, the Orchid Group’s morale had significantly weakened, leading to quick defeat.

Cheng Wulan observed all this, gritting her teeth inwardly, realizing that her people had grown too complacent.

“Cheng Wulan, it’s impressive you had such a hidden expert by your side,” Cai Zhong laughed easily.

Even if Wu Jing were formidable, he was just one person. Cai Zhong had many capable fighters around him, and felt confident they could overpower Wu Jing with numbers.

Cheng Wulan merely snorted without comment, aware of the situation. Though not inferior in numbers, they were outmatched in skill and morale.

Though the reputation of the Rookie Mercenary Corp wasn’t great, its members were battle-hardened veterans.

Her side had competent mercenaries, but the Orchid Group members were entirely spineless.

This surprised Wu Jing. The strategy was his design; once they surrounded the enemy, he expected their psychological defenses to collapse.

In his mind, even if these people didn’t possess the skills of the Tianlong squad, their morale wouldn’t falter.

But he misunderstood completely. These people were spineless, with some even wetting themselves at the sight of combat.

Disappointed, he could only try his best to protect Cheng Wulan.

He stood calmly; as long as the opponent didn’t move, neither would he.

“Kid, you’ve got skills. I’ll give you a chance. Pledge allegiance to me, and I’ll grant you unimaginable riches and beauties. Look at Cheng Wulan; I have many like her.”

Cai Zhong eyed Wu Jing, intent on recruiting him after witnessing his skills.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wulan gritted her teeth in anger, ready to charge. Although not his match, she couldn’t let such insults stand.

Wu Jing quickly held her back, motioning for her not to act rashly.

“Just treat their words as hot air,” Wu Jing said calmly…
