Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

"Insolence!" Ye Haoxuan grabbed Tachibana Masahito and pulled him behind him, his eyes filled with icy coldness. "Hoshino Taro, Tachibana Masahito is my man. If you want to harm him, kill me first!"

"Fine! Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!" Hoshino Taro roared, hurling his cane and leaping up like a ghost, instantly reaching the steps. His right fist, imbued with immense force, slammed into Ye Haoxuan's chest!

The punch was powerful and heavy, the wind howled and kicked up dust, and the Hung Hing underlings around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

No one expected that Hoshino Taro's speed and strength would be so astonishing.

Ye Haoxuan's eyes sharpened. Instead of retreating, he advanced, firmly planted his feet in a horse stance, clenched his right fist, and smashed it hard against the opponent's fist!

"Bang—!"

The two fists collided with a deafening roar, and a powerful shockwave spread outwards. The henchmen on both sides of the steps were thrown back three steps by the shockwave and almost fell over.

Ye Haoxuan felt a sudden numbness in his arm, his blood and qi surged, and he involuntarily took two steps back before regaining his balance.

Hoshino Taro was also in bad shape; his arms were sore and numb, and he staggered back a step. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Ye Haoxuan's strength was no less than his own.

“You’ve got some skill. No wonder you’re able to hold onto the position of Hung Hing leader.” Hoshino Taro sneered, then leaped up the steps again, unleashing a series of karate moves. His fists were like a tapestry, and his leg techniques were sharp. Every move was aimed at Ye Haoxuan’s throat, chest, abdomen, and other vital points. His moves were fierce and domineering, without any fancy moves. Every strike was filled with a ruthless, life-or-death mentality.

Ye Haoxuan dared not be careless, dodging nimbly while simultaneously launching a counterattack.

His martial arts skills were honed through countless battles and grueling combat. Every move was practical, combining feints and real attacks. While avoiding the opponent's fierce assaults, he could always accurately strike the opponent's weaknesses. His punches were sharp and his kicks were cunning, forming a stark contrast to Hoshino Taro's fierce and aggressive style.

The two exchanged blows, their fists and feet clashing repeatedly, their figures darting swiftly across the steps, leaving only afterimages.

Everyone around was stunned, holding their breath as they stared intently at the two fighting in the arena.

This is a duel between top masters. Every move and every stance is a matter of life and death. The slightest carelessness could result in decapitation.

Tachibana Masahito stood on the steps, his expression solemn, his hand on the hilt of his samurai sword, ready to lend a hand at any moment.

He knew that Hoshino Taro's "Mountain-Breaking Fist" was extremely powerful. Although Ye Haoxuan was strong, he would probably suffer if the fight dragged on.

Feng Yuxiu, the Crown Prince, Tian Yangsheng, and others also rushed over upon hearing the news. They stood on both sides, gripping their weapons tightly and watching Hoshino Taro's men warily. If the other party dared to make a move, they would immediately rush forward to protect Ye Haoxuan.

The fight lasted for nearly a hundred rounds. Hoshino Taro's breathing gradually became rapid, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his movements slowed down.

He hadn't expected Ye Haoxuan's stamina to be so astonishing. Even after fighting for so long, his breathing remained steady and his moves were still sharp.

On the other hand, he himself is old and his health is declining. If he continues to waste his energy like this, he will surely fail.

A fierce glint flashed in Hoshino Taro's eyes. He gritted his teeth and roared, his aura surging. He gathered all his strength in his right fist and slammed it down hard towards Ye Haoxuan's head.

This is his ultimate move, the secret of karate: Mountain-Breaking Fist!

The fist whistled through the air, carrying a devastating force that seemed to compress the surrounding air, producing a muffled sound.

Ye Haoxuan's eyes narrowed sharply. He could clearly feel the power of that punch. If he took it head-on, he would definitely be seriously injured.

At the critical moment, he suddenly ducked and dodged to the side with the agility of a raccoon, while simultaneously kicking Hoshino Taro's knee with his left leg!

Hoshino Taro missed his punch, lost his balance, and was then kicked in the knee by Ye Haoxuan. With a crisp "crack," his kneecap broke, and he let out a shrill scream of pain, collapsing to one knee, his face instantly turning ashen.

"gentlemen!"

Upon seeing this, the samurai of the Yamada Group roared and charged forward, trying to protect Hoshino Taro.

"Stop them!" the prince roared, charging forward first, brandishing his cleaver and slashing at the foremost warrior.

Feng Yuxiu flashed forward, drawing his two short swords. With a flash of light, the arms of two warriors fell to the ground.

The seven siblings of Tin Yeung Sang also made their move at the same time, their moves ruthless, and they fought fiercely with the warriors; the Hung Hing underlings were not to be outdone, and they rushed forward with their weapons. The two sides instantly fell into a melee, with shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing all mixed together, creating a chaotic scene.

Tachibana Masahito drew his katana and lunged forward, closing in on Hoshino Taro: "Hoshino Taro, let's settle our old scores today!"

Hoshino Taro supported himself on the ground and slowly stood up, his broken knee trembling slightly, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness:

"Tachibana Masahito, Ye Haoxuan, I am not reconciled! But I acknowledge your strength!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a short knife from his pocket and stabbed it fiercely into his abdomen. The dignity of the Yamada Group would not allow him to be captured and humiliated.

"No!" Tachibana Masahito tried to stop him, but it was too late.

A short knife pierced his abdomen, blood gushing out. Hoshino Taro collapsed to the ground, his eyes gradually losing focus, and he weakly uttered:

"The Yamada Group... will... avenge me..."

Before he could finish speaking, he breathed his last.

Just then, a samurai seized the opportunity to stab Ye Haoxuan in the back. Tachibana Masahito's eyes narrowed, and he swung his sword to sever the samurai's arm, kicking him to the ground at the same time.

"Thank you." Ye Haoxuan turned around, nodded to Tachibana Masahito, then looked at the chaotic battle in the arena and said in a deep voice, "Leave them alive!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd restrained themselves somewhat, only injuring and subduing the warriors without killing them all.

Not long after, the melee ended. The Yamada Group samurai were either dead or wounded, and the rest were tied up by Hung Hing underlings and knelt on the ground, trembling.

The prince walked up to Ye Haoxuan, panting, and said, "Brother Xuan, it's all taken care of! Hoshino Taro is dead, and the rest have been captured!"

Ye Haoxuan nodded, his gaze lingering intently on the west side of the district: "Hoshino Taro is dead, but Camel certainly won't let this go. He's been lying in wait for us and the Yamada group to weaken each other so he can reap the benefits."

Han Bin stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Brother Xuan, I have received news that Camel's manpower in the Western District warehouse is making unusual movements. It seems they are moving towards Causeway Bay, probably intending to launch a surprise attack!"

A cold glint flashed in Ye Haoxuan's eyes, and a ruthless smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Fine, since he wants to come to us, we'll grant his wish. Crown Prince, you return to Causeway Bay immediately and set up an ambush; Han Bin, you take men to the border to restrain the Wo Luen Shing people and prevent Big D from taking the opportunity to cause trouble; Tian Yangsheng, you seven siblings go with Feng Yuxiu to the Western District warehouse and raid Camel's lair; Tachibana, you come with me to Causeway Bay and meet Camel!"
