第86章 "Bloodlust Ignites the Battlefield"

**Chapter 86: The Battle Rages On**

The two fighters clashed, their movements a blur as they exchanged blows. Xiao Zhan's fury had reached a boiling point, and Shen Yi's calm demeanor only seemed to fuel his anger. The air was filled with the sound of punches landing, kicks connecting, and grunts of effort.

Just when it seemed like Xiao Zhan was gaining the upper hand, Shen Yi landed a lucky hit, sending Xiao Zhan stumbling backward. Shen Yi seized the opportunity, unleashing a flurry of swift punches that had Xiao Zhan reeling.

"You're not just a traitor, Shen Yi," Xiao Zhan snarled, his eyes blazing with fury. "You're a monster!"

Shen Yi's expression darkened, but he remained silent, his focus solely on the battle at hand.

The fight raged on, both men giving it their all. Xiao Zhan's training and experience gave him an edge, but Shen Yi's cunning and agility allowed him to stay in the game.

Just as it seemed like Xiao Zhan was about to gain the advantage, a sudden commotion erupted from the sidelines. A group of black-clad thugs, clearly hired by Shen Yi, charged into the fray.

"Looks like we have some unwanted guests," Shen Yi sneered, his eyes glinting with malice.

Xiao Zhan's gaze snapped to the newcomers, his fury reaching new heights. "You think these punks can take on me?" he sneered, his voice dripping with disdain.

The thug leader, a burly man with a scar above his left eyebrow, sneered back. "You're just a washed-up old soldier, Xiao Zhan. We can take you down easily."

Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with strategy. He knew he had to take care of the new opponents quickly, or risk being overwhelmed.

With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Zhan summoned his combat instincts, unleashing a barrage of swift kicks and punches that sent the thugs flying. Shen Yi watched with a mixture of surprise and admiration, his eyes gleaming with a hint of respect.

"You're still got it, Xiao Zhan," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "But don't get too cocky. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve too."

The battle raged on, with Xiao Zhan and Shen Yi taking on the thugs simultaneously. The outcome was far from certain, and the two fighters seemed evenly matched.

But just as it seemed like the tide was turning in their favor, a sudden sound echoed through the air - the sound of sirens.

The thug leader's eyes widened in panic as he looked around, realizing they had been surrounded by police cars. "Oh no, it's the cops!" he yelped, panic rising in his voice.

Shen Yi's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with strategy. "Time to make a quick exit," he said, his voice low and deadly.

Xiao Zhan's gaze snapped to Shen Yi, his fury boiling over once more. "You're not getting away that easily," he snarled, his eyes blazing with determination.

As the police closed in, the two fighters exchanged a look that spoke volumes. The battle was far from over, and only one thing was certain - the outcome would be far from predictable.
