《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 36 Elbow to the Face
Advertisement
Ye Fei turned to leave.
Fang Mu had studied taekwondo for three years; he knew it was foolish to turn your back to the opponent in a fight.
His eyes shone with opportune light. He flung out his hand, stabbing at Ye Fei with the broken bottle.
Even without looking, Ye Fei could hear the sound of rushing wind as the bottle pierced through the air toward him. He knew Fang Mu wasn’t planning on going easy on him, and that pissed Ye Fei off.
As the saying went, "Keep calm and look at the bigger picture." He had already retreated, but Fang Mu still attacked him. Now, Ye Fei wanted to teach that guy a lesson.
However, rather than whirling around to face his opponent, Ye Fei’s face showed fear and his legs went soft like boiled noodles.
Seeing Ye Fei so scared, Fang Mu thought he was indeed a pitiful coward, and this only encouraged his aggression.
Liu Manman was astonished. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Last night, Ye Fei bravely took down three men on his own, but now he was so scared he wouldn’t even fight? What a pansy.
Suddenly, Ye Fei cried out, "No, please!" as his knees buckled and he stumbled to the ground, conveniently dodging the broken beer bottle at the same time.
And then...
Bang!
With a surprised scream, Fang Mu's momentum carried him face-first into Ye Fei's elbow.
The combined energy of leg, waist and torso was concentrated into his elbow, adding up to a ferocious impact.
Fang Mu collapsed to the floor with a thud . Incidentally, his head ended up directly beneath a woman’s skirt. "Ah, creep!" the woman screamed, stomping on his face with her high-heeled boots.
Fang Mu barely managed to get away from her. He was exhausted, his face was covered in blood, he’d lost seven or eight teeth, and his nose was broken to top it all off.

"Ouch... Ouch... It hurts!!" He rolled on the floor in pain.
Surprisingly, next to Fang Mu, Ye Fei covered his elbow with his hand and screamed at the top of his voice, "It hurts! You hit my elbow with your face, you crazy bastard! My arm is broken! It hurts!!!"
Beaten and trampled half to death, it was Fang Mu who ought to have been the one uttering such words, but Ye Fei’s sudden hysterics drowned out any sound that came from his mouth.
To those in the crowd hearing the screams but unable to see their source, Ye Fei's injury sounded ten times more serious than Fang Mu’s.
Liu Manman rubbed her eyes in shock as she looked upon this bizarre scene… and then rubbed them again just to be sure.
It all happened so fast that no one had time to react before it was all over... but no one could have anticipated the result: both Fang Mu and Ye Fei screaming their guts out in pain.
Liu Manman was speechless. She had no idea what just happened.
"What is going on here? Don’t you know Fire Dragon owns this place? If you want to fight, do it outside!" A bouncer showed up, drawn by the commotion. Seeing one man bleeding all over the floor and another screaming in pain, he didn't know what to make of it.
Whatever happened, fighting in the bar was forbidden.
The bouncer, Hu Gang, looked around and said with a cold voice, "Throw them both out!"
"I... I..." Fang Mu stammered through his broken teeth.
Fang Mu's family was rich, and he often partied in this expensive nightclub. He knew the bouncers weren’t going to stand for any nonsense. Beaten and humiliated, all he wanted was to explain what happened to security and get Ye Fei thrown out.

"Bro, hang on a minute. Don’t you even want to know what happened?” Ye Fei said loudly, “I understand throwing out people who start fights, but everyone here can tell you that I didn’t do anything! I was just having a drink when this man rushed out of nowhere with a broken beer bottle in his hands, and then he just fell and almost crushed my arm. I didn’t even demand compensation and you want to throw me out? Is this how the Burning Bar treats its customers?"
"Er..." Hu Gang's expression was stiff. The man on the ground was covered in blood and looked half-dead. Did he really fall down by himself? If he did, Hu Gang would be punished by the boss if he kicked out and offended a customer for no good reason.
It seemed like an easy problem to solve - he would just ask the witnesses.
"You all saw it. What happened just now?" Hu Gang asked a group of regulars he recognized nearby.
The young partygoers looked at Ye Fei and then looked at Fang Mu on the ground, and said, "We didn't see it too clearly, but it looked like he did bump himself into this guy’s elbow and fell to the ground."
Although they scoffed at Ye Fei’s over-the-top performance, they couldn't lie to the bouncer.
As far as anyone saw, that’s what happened
