Chapter 1672


    "Die!" Jiroughed loudly andunched his attack at Fade.


    However, before he could even attack, Fade''s palm hadnded already on Jiro''s chest.


    Jiro didn''t care about it at first and he didn''t show the slightest bit of worry. The extremely tough


    muscles under his skin had long since tightened together, guarding against Fade''s palm.


    This kind of attack would not cause much damage to him. At most, it was just like being hit by a


    hammer.


    However, when Fade''s palm struck Jiro, the thought in his mind changed in an instant because the


    strength of his palm was far beyond his expectation.


    Its impact was as if it was a meteorite falling from the sky. The moment the huge force made contact


    with Jiro''s skin, the defense muscles he used to be proud of were almost instantly torn, with the


    force continuing to be transmitted to the bones and internal organs.


    All of a sudden, several ribs in his chest fractured with cracking soundsing one after another.


    His internal organs suffered a huge impact, with cracks appearing on his internal organs and blood


    oozing out of them.


    Jiro''s facial expression changed drastically. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Following that his huge


    body flew backward and he fell heavily to the ground, motionless.


    No one had expected such a result.


    This was especially the case for the confident Taira. He initially thought that Jiro would be able to


    defeat Fade. He didn''t expect that Jiro would be seriously injured by him with just one move.


    However, he was also experienced as he immediately waved his hand and ordered his


    subordinates to carry Jiro out for treatment.


    Then, he stared at Fade with cold eyes, saying, "Mr. Chen, it''s just a friendly match. You might have


    been quite too harsh!"


    Fade shot him a nce coldly and said, "I didn''t kill him, so I''ve already shown him mercy."


    "You..." Taira didn''t expect Fade to be so arrogant, and his expression turned iparably grim,


    "You are so confident. Could it be that you really think that there is no one skillful left in our Akao


    family?"


    "If you''re not convinced, you can give it a try." Fade looked at him, his gaze unrestrained.


    Taira''s expression darkened upon hearing this. His martial arts cultivation was actually on par with


    Jiro''s, which was at thest stage of the Earth Level. However, when it came to actualbating


    power, he wasn''t a match for him.


    Since Fade could injure Jiro with just one palm, Tairo was certainly not his opponent. Naturally, he


    did not dare to make a move at this moment.


    Just as the scene was quiet, Narumi, Kento and Liza, who were having a discussion inside, came


    out.


    Noticing the scene in front of them, their expressions changed.


    Kento immediately asked, "Taira, what''s going on? What happened?"


    Taira red at Fade with a face full of resentment, and said to Kento, "Just now, Jiro wanted to


    have a spar with him, but this fellow beat him ruthlessly and injured him. Now, he even provoked the


    Akao family verbally."


    On the other side, Kenji spoke up right away, "Taira, don''t be so shameless! It was you who first


    sent Jiro to start the provocation, not to mention that he even hurt my brother."


    When Kento and Narumi heard them, they kept silent and their expressions were a little cold.


    Liza, on the other hand, didn''t care so much. When she heard that Fade had fought, she


    immediately rushed to his side and asked in concern, "Fade, you''re not injured, are you?"


    He shook his head with a smile andforted her, "It''s okay. No one in the Akao family can hurt


    me."


    "Brat, you’re too arrogant. I..." Taira couldn''t help but be enraged after hearing this.


    Just as he couldn''t hold back and was about to make a move, Kento stopped him and shook his


    head, "Don''t act impulsively."


    Followed by that, he looked at Narumi and said, "The bodyguard Miss Liza hired from abroad is


    really something else! He is behaving so arrogantly in Jopeno. Does he think that there is no one


    left in the martial arts world here?"


    Without changing his expression, Narumi said, "You don''t have to put all the me on us. This is


    between us and there''s no need to involve the entire martial arts world of Jopeno. Of course, if you


    won''t admit defeat, we canpete and determine a winner tomorrow."


    "That''s exactly what I''m thinking. I''lle back to see how powerful the Uchida family is at


    tomorrow''s ceremony," Kento snorted.


    Narumi denied, "It''s not because the Uchida family is powerful, but because of Miss Liza and the


    Hachi n''s strength. We are not ungrateful. We’ re not hungry for status and power like wolves.


    The Uchida family is only Miss Liza''s guard."


    It was obvious that he was mocking the Akao family for betraying the Hachi n.


    Kento''s expression turned cold. Without a word, he scoffed and left with Taira and the others.


    On the other side, Narumi apologized to Fade respectfully, saying that he had caused him trouble.


    Fade waved his hand to show that it was nothing.


    Following that, they left as well.


    Along the way, Liza walked side by side with Fade and she even told him the contents of the


    discussion just now.


    Although the discussion was not confidential, even if the conditions of the two sides were


    discussed, the gap was too wide. In the end, they did not reach an agreement and were ready to


    have a decisive battle in the memorial ceremony the following day.


    The intimate attitude of the two made Eichi’s expression unpleasant, and he couldn''t help but clench


    his fists.


    The next day, the Hachi n''s 80th anniversary memorial ceremony would be formally held at the


    headquarters.


    Although this was only a memorial ceremony within the members of the Hachi n, other


    underground organizations and ns in Jopeno, as well as therge families that were rted, had


    all sent people to participate in the ceremony.

    Even the Jopeno officials had also secretly sent government personnel to participate in the


    ceremony. There were more than a thousand police officers stationed outside, and they were ready


    to deal with any abnormal situation at all times.


    After all, the people who attended the ceremony could be said to represent almost 80% of the


    power of Jopeno''s underground world. If they were to have a conflict or an ident, the entire


    Jopeno''s underground world would most probably fall into chaos. All kinds of conflicts and fights


    could not be avoided.


    The government naturally did not want such a thing to happen, which was why arge police force


    was sent to maintain the order and safety of the ceremony.


    At 9 AM, the 80th anniversary memorial ceremony of the Hachi n officially began. Everyone


    entered the ancestral hall.


    Representatives of the Hachi n had all changed into traditional warrior uniforms, with traditional


    warriors'' headbands tied around their heads and swords hanging at their waists. They wore wooden


    clogs and entered the ancestral temple solemnly.


    The important guests followed them by entering the ancestral hall anding to the two sides of it


    to watch the memorial ceremony. As for the others, their statuses were not as high, so they could


    only wait outside.


    At this moment, Fade was also present in the ancestral temple. Along with themencement of


    the ceremony, he saw that the Hachi n members were clearly divided into three factions.
