Who moved her body?

Guan Jie seized an opening and punched Chen Kaipiao in the inside of his right wrist. The iron rod fell to the ground with a thud.

Xu Haiyang kicked one of the thugs, cursing him with exasperation, "Go ahead, pick it up. Don't you have any sense?"

The two thugs scrambled to pick up the iron rod again.

"You good-for-nothing, hold on tight! If Chen Kaipiao takes it back, I'll throw your whole family into the sea to feed the fish."

The two thugs trembled as they clutched their iron bars, bowing repeatedly to Xu Haiyang. Judging from their nervous demeanor and the things they were carrying, anyone who didn't know better would have thought they were holding a huge sum of money they had just withdrawn from the bank.

A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Chen Kaipiao's forehead as he dropped the iron rod.

Having roamed the martial world for twenty years, he was always the one knocking weapons out of other people's hands. Guan Jie was the first person to knock his weapon to the ground.

Chen Kaipiao twitched one corner of his mouth, the air of absolute control he had just exuded was gone. He lowered his chin slightly and said to Guan Jie, "Brother, you're a real man, but you must die here today."

Guan Jie glanced at Xu Haiyang, who immediately raised his arm and shouted, "Zhao Ren, go for it!"

The two thugs immediately joined in, shouting, "Go Zhao Ren! Go Zhao Ren!"

Guan Jie turned around and saw Chen Kaipiao raise his right leg, then pull his right hand up along his trouser leg. When he lowered his leg, he had a switchblade in his right hand.

With a snap, the switchblade sprang open, its gleaming blade slicing through the air in Chen Kaipiao's hand with a whooshing sound.

"Did you bring any knives? Fruit knives, razors, eyebrow trimmers... any kind of knife will do," Xu Haiyang asked Mugua and the two thugs.

All three shook their heads. Xu Haiyang sighed and shrank back into the sofa.

Normally, in Desolate Rock City, Xu Haiyang relied on his connections to get by; people would come forward to fawn over him, so there was no real danger. He had lived for over thirty years without ever encountering any real danger, so his men never had the habit of carrying weapons.

Xu Haiyang felt like he was dreaming. Even if someone had told him beforehand that tonight was a trap, he wouldn't have believed it, because he thought Chen Kaipiao cared too much about his business and would never offend him.

If he hadn't been hit on the head, he would never have believed that someone in Desolate Rock City would want to kill him. The probability of that was as small as that of an emperor being killed in the palace, which only happened once or twice in thousands of years.

And then there's Chen Kaipiao, who always greets Xu Haiyang with a smile. Whenever Xu Haiyang comes, he brings him food and drinks, chooses the best private rooms, and lets him pick any girl he wants. Before today, no, before that bottle was smashed on him, Chen Kaipiao was still all smiles. Who would have thought that this man who almost gave himself to Xu Haiyang would actually kill him?

Xu Haiyang had never experienced anything so thrilling in his life, more than ten minutes. He thought he was going to die, but Zhao Ren quickly gave him hope. Now, however, the knife in Chen Kaipiao's hand plunged him back into prayer.

Chen Kaipiao held up the knife and casually twirled it with a flourish.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" Zhao Ren clapped his hands in praise.

"I shouldn't have been the one to do this tonight, but seeing your skill, I got the itch to try." Chen Kaipiao slapped the blade against his palm, making a crisp cracking sound. He said, "I'll let you spar with my men after I've had my fun. Of course, you'll have to get past me first."

Guan Jie knew that the man Chen Kaipiao was referring to was the burly man outside the door, which was why he blocked the door as soon as he came in. He wasn't sure if he could beat the burly man at the door.

Chen Kaipiao took the initiative, thrusting with his right hand. As Guan Jie turned to the right, he suddenly pulled back his wrist, sweeping the knife from right to left across Guan Jie's abdomen.

Guan Jie dodged to the right, but before he could regain his footing, the knife suddenly changed direction.

To avoid the sudden knife strike, Guan Jie kicked upwards with his right foot, causing his upper body to fall directly to the ground. He chose to fall to save his life.

Chen Kaipiao's knife sliced ​​across Guan Jie's shoe sole, leaving a screeching sound in the private room, like sneakers rubbing against the floor of an indoor basketball court.

Chen Kaipiao smirked menacingly, then lunged forward. Blade down, aimed at Guan Jie's chest.

Guan Jie rolled 720 degrees on the ground. As Chen Kaipiao's knife pierced the thick carpet padding, Guan Jie flipped his right leg to the left. Driven by the force of his leg, Guan Jie's upper body almost lifted into the air, pinning Chen Kaipiao down before he could exert force again.

Xu Haiyang and the other three almost jumped for joy.

Because everyone can see that Guan Jie is far superior in both speed and strength. As long as Chen Kaipiao has even the slightest weakness, Guan Jie can turn the tide and take control.

Soon, Guan Jie knocked the knife out of Chen Kaipiao's hand. The knife was thrown upwards and, under the watchful eyes of Xu Haiyang and the other three, it steadily embedded itself in the soft cushion on the side of the private room.

"Hurry up, you idiot!" Xu Haiyang yelled at the knife, as if trying to fix it in place with his eyes.

One of the thugs immediately stepped forward, pulled out the knife, folded the blade into the handle, and then put it in his pocket.

Without the knife, Chen Kaipiao became much more agile and quickly broke free from Guan Jie's control.

After a series of close-quarters punches and kicks, when Guan Jie took a punch to the corner of his mouth, Guan Jie spun around and delivered a flying kick, sending Chen Kaipiao flying almost to the corner of the coffee table behind the door of the private room.

Just as Guan Jie was gaining the upper hand in the battle, there was a commotion outside the door.

At first, the doorbell rang, and no one moved. Then, someone outside started pushing the door hard, and the coffee table behind the door began to move backward little by little.

Xu Haiyang looked at Mugua, who took a breath and said, "Outside the door, there's a, there's a super big thug."

Xu Haiyang was obviously unaware of this, but judging from Mugua's frightened eyes, he knew the visitor was up to no good.

Chen Kaipiao's lower back was badly injured by the sharp corner of the coffee table. He spat out several mouthfuls of blood and lay on the ground for several seconds, unable to get up. When the door began to shake violently, Chen Kaipiao stepped aside, flipped onto the sofa, clutched his chest, and looked at the door with a cold smile, as if waiting for a good show to unfold.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the door slammed down with a thud, frame and all, onto the coffee table behind it.

A tall, muscular man walked in under the corridor lights, casting a huge, dark shadow that filled the private room.

Xu Haiyang closed his eyes. "Oh my god, a monster! Is today really my death day?"

Guan Jie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, took a few steps back, and found a suitable angle to stand still.

After the muscular man entered, he glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on Chen Kaipiao.

"Don't let a single one escape," Chen Kaipiao ordered.

The muscular man didn't say anything, but shook his neck a few times, and everyone heard the cracking sound of his bones.

"You go first!" The muscular man's fingers circled around and finally landed on Guan Jie.

The two thugs, trembling while clutching their iron bars, breathed a sigh of relief and instinctively scurried into the shadows of a corner. They both hoped Guan Jie could defeat the monstrous, terrifying man, but their faces betrayed no confidence, for the man was truly too formidable.

The muscular man stepped out to the right with his right foot, squatted down in a horse stance, raised both fists to temple height, and shouted, "Ah!"

The entire private room seemed to shake. Xu Haiyang, his face ashen with shock, gritted his teeth and forced out a few words, "Damn it, is that a gorilla?"

Chen Kaipiao turned his eyes to the side and laughed, "This is my trump card. Twenty catties of beef in one meal can tear a man in two. Hahaha, most people don't get this kind of treatment. I specially prepared it for you today."

"You pervert!" Xu Haiyang cursed. "You've managed to get to where you are today in Desolate Rock City only because of my family's support. You're not only ungrateful but also repay kindness with enmity. You're a heartless bastard."

"I know how to be grateful. But killing you is also a way of ridding your family of a scourge. From that perspective, your family should thank me for getting rid of you, this black sheep." Chen Kaipiao chuckled, the kind of knowing smile some people wear after doing charity work and deliberately having their picture taken. Seeing that Xu Haiyang didn't quite understand, he shook his head and continued, "You think your cousin really doesn't get involved in the business in Desolate Rock City?"

"My cousin said that our family members can only do legitimate business, and he won't interfere," Xu Haiyang said righteously.

"Really?" Chen Kaipiao smiled, almost self-deprecatingly, and then fell silent.

"What do you mean?" Xu Haiyang was getting restless. He hated it when people said half a sentence, making him feel uncomfortable.
