1039: Chapter 1023 Both Sides Suffered 1039: Chapter 1023 Both Sides Suffered The Russian deeply stared at Li Jinfang, then nodded.
After a long exhale, he said in a deep voice, “You won.”
After nodding again, the Russian, arms hanging down, said to his four companions, who were concerned but couldn’t hide their astonishment and confusion, “Let’s go!”
The Russian turned and walked away.
Gao Yang looked at Li Jinfang, and that’s when he noticed the sweat pouring down Li Jinfang’s forehead.
Seeing the Russian leave, Li Jinfang finally started to grimace in pain.
Then, he stretched out his left hand to cover his right shoulder and growled at Andy He, “What are you looking at!
Stop pretending, they’ve left.
Come and check this out.”
Andy He quickly walked up to Li Jinfang, grabbed his right arm, and gently shook it, “Does it hurt?”
“It hurts!
Damn right, it’s very painful.”
Gao Yang was anxious and immediately asked, “What happened, is it broken?”
Li Jinfang and Andy He shook their heads together.
Then, Li Jinfang, grinning with pain, said, “It’s not broken, just dislocated.”
“But this dislocation isn’t like Wild Man’s.
Wild Man’s was precisely done by the Russian, a forceful dislocation fearing he couldn’t handle it otherwise.
The worst part was when Toad tried to reset it himself.”
Andy He, with a troubled look, finished speaking before Li Jinfang said with a pained grin, “That guy’s joint techniques are too powerful, and he fucking keeps defending without striking.
If I hadn’t done it this way, damn, I couldn’t have taken him down.”
Andy He gently squeezed Li Jinfang’s shoulder, then said with a troubled expression, “Now it’s tricky.
The way you reset it yourself had issues.
You were too reckless, just pushing the bone back into place without care.
If you had let me reset it, there wouldn’t be a big problem, maybe pain for three to five days.
But with your handling, goddammit, you might have injured the ligaments.”
Li Jinfang clenched his teeth and said, “Just tell me what to do, cut the crap.”
Andy He shook his head and sighed, “No choice now, let’s go get an x-ray at the airport hospital, I can’t tell what’s damaged now.”
Gao Yang exclaimed angrily, “An x-ray?
Is it that serious?”
Andy He glanced at Gao Yang and said, “My dad is a traditional Chinese doctor, not me.
My dad knows orthopedics, I don’t.
He can just feel with his hands and know what’s wrong, I can’t!
I’m a surgeon, understand, a surgeon!
I have to spell it out like this.
I’ve trained until now and it’s already not bad.
I can tell simple dislocations, but for Toad’s condition, dare I conclude without doubt?
Let him get the x-ray.
Let’s get several to see the exact situation, then I can know how to treat it.”
Li Jinfang shook his head and said, “No, we can’t get an x-ray now.”
Gao Yang frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?
Why can’t we go?”
Li Jinfang tilted his head and gritted his teeth, “I’ve gotten used to beating people to death, but I’m not used to disarming arms and legs.
Just now I had no choice but to strike heavily.
That guy wants a secondary Western doctor to reattach his arm, unless he doesn’t want to lift that arm again.
Hmph, he must also need an x-ray.
Let’s wait until he goes, then we’ll see.
At this point, might as well go all the way with the pretense!”
Gao Yang helplessly said, “Curtis, if I had known that guy was so formidable…”
But Li Jinfang took a long breath and said with a longing look, “This guy is the toughest opponent I’ve met in my life, truly formidable!
He doesn’t just use joint techniques.
If it weren’t for me risking it and knowing he wouldn’t reset his own arm, leading to both of us being injured, I’m not sure I could have beaten him.
This fight was the most exhilarating and satisfying one in my life, the only one where I had to use all my strength and still feared it might go wrong.
Curtis!
Damn exhilarating!
Thrilling!”
Cui Bo, visibly still in shock, urgently asked, “Who’s tougher, you or that Russian?”
Li Jinfang pondered for a moment and then shook his head, “Hard to say.
His joint techniques are much better than mine; that’s for sure.
As for other areas, strength, speed, he’s no less than me.
If there’s a way I’m better, it’s that I practice Neijiaquan, and he can’t match my explosive power.
If we were to exchange blows directly, the one left standing would probably be me.
But fighting isn’t always about who can attack; defense counts too.
If I missed one attack and didn’t kill him but ended up with broken limbs, then I’d be the one to die.
If it wasn’t for me using a mutual destruction strategy this time, swapping his arm first, the outcome would be uncertain.
It’s really hard to say.”
After saying all that, Li Jinfang sighed.
He glanced at the spot occupied by the Russian and said with a lingering desire, “I still haven’t tested all my opponent’s skills.
If only I could fight him again, then I’d know which of us is stronger.”
Gao Yang, annoyed, said, “Give it a rest, will you?
Think about fighting again; just make sure your arm is alright first.”
Considering the circumstances, Li Jinfang inevitably had to make a move, but encountering an evenly matched opponent was something Gao Yang never expected.
Nevertheless, even knowing the opponent was a master on par with Li Jinfang, Li Jinfang still had to fight.
Li Jinfang is Satan’s lead fighter, no matter the situation, no matter the opponent, even if he knew he might be killed, he had to fight.
That was Li Jinfang’s duty; it would be unreasonable to leave it to Gao Yang and Glolov, who weren’t particularly skilled in combat, to face certain death.
“Injured bones and tendons take a hundred days to heal,” Gao Yang worried that Li Jinfang, the top striker, might have to rest for a long time because of a conflict.
This wasn’t good news for Satan, but with the Russians pressing hard, they had no choice but to fight back fiercely.
At most, they could only consider themselves unlucky this time for encountering an extraordinary master.
However, on the flip side, their opponent was a master, and they had managed to beat him back despite his provocation.
They lost neither face nor profit from the encounter.
From this perspective, it was the Russians who were unlucky, not them.
They should be happy.
That’s what Li Jinfang thought.
After spitting on the ground, he said with pride, “At least we didn’t lose face, we sent them packing.
This time, let’s see if they dare be so arrogant again.
So much for Signal Flag being impressive—we beat them right back!”
Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Enough, cut it out and go get an X-ray quickly.
Don’t leave any sequelae.”
No longer discussing Li Jinfang’s injuries, the team came forward to express their excitement over the victory.
Wild Man gave Li Jinfang a thumbs up and nodded repeatedly, saying enthusiastically, “I concede, you’re formidable!
I’m thoroughly convinced now.
Seeing you break that damned Russian Guy’s arm, I’ve started to admire you.”
Alcohol, wiping his bloody nose again, said to Li Jinfang, “Bro, all thanks to you.
Well done!
That guy bled even more than me.
It was so satisfying.”
Frey, however, was all concern as he asked, “Toad, are you alright?”
Gao Yang looked over the crowd towards the Russians.
These past few days, the five Russians had been making Farouk’s soldiers train physically.
The recent brawl hadn’t been seen by their trainees, thankfully avoiding embarrassment in front of them.
Now, all five men had walked into the temporary shed built next to the training ground.
While Gao Yang was observing, he heard Eileen shout loudly, “What happened, what happened, what went down?”
Gao Yang turned his head to see Eileen and Farouk rushing over.
Farouk had not been training with the Russians or his subordinates; instead, he had been training with Li Jinfang and Eileen and then appeared in front of his subordinates when necessary to maintain his presence.
Seeing Eileen’s arrival, Curtis shook his head and sighed, “Ah, it’s a big deal, such a pity, too much of a pity.”
Eileen asked urgently, “What’s a pity?”
Curtis still shook his head and sighed, “It’s a pity, you missed a fight of the century.”
Eileen pressed, “Quick, tell me, what did I miss?”
Farouk, with a worried expression, asked, “What’s the matter?
Did something happen?
Did you guys clash with those Russian instructors?”
Compared to others, Farouk was definitely closer to Gao Yang and his team.
Gao Yang shrugged and replied, “Yeah, we clashed, and both sides got a little injured.”
Andy He suddenly said, “It wasn’t just a little injury; a dislocation is not always the same.
They all suffered traumatic dislocations: capsule, ligaments, joint cartilage, and even muscular soft tissues could be damaged, and it’s hard to tell how badly.
If those Russians wisely seek a good orthopedist, perhaps there will be no lingering issues, but if they think they can mess around with the little joint-repositioning skills they learned in combat training, habitual dislocations will be the least of their worries, and over time even joint adhesion or loss of function could happen.”
After finishing, Andy He patted Li Jinfang on the back, “Come on, still thinking of waiting to get X-rayed?
Now’s not the time to pretend, hurry and get it checked.”
Farouk frowned, “Really, is it that serious?”
Andy He smacked his lips and asked, “Do you guys have any good orthopedists here?”
Farouk shook his head, “I’m not sure, I would have to ask Gilanor, but I don’t think we have any especially good orthopedists.”
Andy He clapped his hands and laughed, “Well, good then, no one but me can help that Russian.”
After speaking, Andy He looked at Gao Yang and smiled, “Are we stepping in?”
Gao Yang took a breath, thought for a moment, and then said, “We can’t make mortal enemies, can we?
We don’t want to leave so soon.
Check if Toad is alright first.
If Toad’s hurt, to hell with them, better off dead; if he’s fine, then letting them off the hook is alright too, depending on their behavior.
If they have to come back and beg you, then they won’t be hopping around anymore.”
Andy He nodded, then turned to the downcast Farouk, “You’re in a tough spot being in the middle, we can’t make it hard for you.
Go and tell those Russians to come find me later, I’ll fix their arms.
If they mess it up themselves, no regrets.”
Gao Yang didn’t want to drag things out any longer.
He waved his hand, “Disperse.
I’ll go with Dragon Knight and Toad to get the X-ray.
You all do what you need to do.
Keep an eye out in case those Russians seek revenge out of frustration.” (To be continued.
