Chapter 970: Chapter 416: You’re the Challenger! (Part 2)
In a flicker between two figures, another clash occurred.
Bai Xiao’s lightning-quick punch first forcibly knocked away Lion King Kawei’s blocking arm, then circumvented the defense set by his other arm, piercing in with extreme sharpness. With a bang, it struck the Lion King’s shoulder.
“Dong dong dong dong!”
The golden-haired figure shuddered, retreating more than ten steps. The ground behind him was stamped with pits, the soil pressed into wave-like shapes.
“His combat experience doesn’t resemble that of a twenty-something young man at all! Mastery over combat skills, I’ve only ever seen in my master…”
The Lion King’s shoulder was in intense pain, brows tightly furrowed.
He originally wanted to engage Bai Xiao in close combat, using personal combat skills to take the initiative. After all, Lion King had cultivated martial arts since the age of ten, until now at over fifty, granting him over forty years of experience. Ostensibly twice the age of Bai Xiao, offering a natural advantage.
However, when the two actually started grappling, he realized his idea was gravely mistaken. Bai Xiao’s close combat and battle skills were richer, more concise, more vicious, and more brutal. Each move seemed to be the optimal solution in that circumstance, and also the quickest killing technique. One could even discern an extremely bizarre aesthetic.
That was something Kawei vaguely saw in his master’s old Lion King before his passing—a thing called returning to simplicity.
“I can’t outlast him.”
Lion King Kawei instantly realized this point.
In a normal fight, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage before Bai Xiao. To change the situation, he could only make up for it using powerful secret martial skills and secret techniques.
“Whoosh!”
In front, the golden figure charged again, flickering fiercely.
“Holy Lion Fist!”
Kawei unhesitatingly couldn’t withstand it, using his core secret martial. His whole muscular outline suddenly emitted a hint of gold, rising fiercely in an explosive way. The sleeves on his arms immediately burst apart, revealing a pair of significantly swollen arms, strength surging like a torrent.
“Roar!”
In the void, it was as if a majestic lion descended. Its mane was shimmering with golden light, dignified and proud, resembling a golden statue. The Holy Lion peak roared, instantly merging with the Lion King.
The two instantly overlapped.
Only Kawei’s arms seemed to turn into golden lion claws, the palms larger than his head, scythe-like sharp claws burning with holy fire.
“Kill!”
“Lion King Claw!”
He stepped forward, a claw reached out, the air suddenly emitted the sharp sound of being quickly torn apart. The next second, a second claw followed closely.
The front and back movements were practically like a lion pouncing on its prey.
The massive holy lion phantom formed by Qi crashed heavily into Bai Xiao, pinning him down. The ground roared, ravines crisscrossed.
Five long claw marks deeply embedded into the ground!
Flames burned fiercely, causing the surrounding area to distort the air.
“Ka ka ka ka…”
In the deep pit.
Lion King Kawei, having pounced on Bai Xiao, had no trace of joy on his face but was extremely solemn. His strong and powerful arms were more than twice as swollen as before, the surface flushed, each vein and blood vessel writhing like small snakes. However, this pair of nearly deformed arms for power bombarded Bai Xiao’s body surface, receiving feedback as hard as city walls. Glazed golden light enveloped his chest, unmoving.
The massive impact was like mud entering the sea, entirely devoured.
“Holy Fire Lion Seal!”
A sharp light flashed in Kawei’s eyes, his arms conjuring a phantom resembling a fiery lion, set to fall with terrifying power.
“Roar! Moo!”
Below, at the bottom of the pit.
Suddenly, five golden shining holy dragon phantoms and ten glazed-colored god-like phantoms soared into the sky, sweeping invincibly. The frenzied power, like a river bursting its banks, forcibly knocked Kawei away.
“Whoosh! Bang!”
A giant golden light shadow flew up simultaneously.
Like a golden statue, the whole person stood quietly beside the pit.
“If this is all you can do…”
“Then next, I’ll break your pride bone inch by inch!”
Bai Xiao was expressionless, not a scratch visible on his body. Getting hit just now seemed like he was deliberately testing, wanting to see the power of the Holy Lion Fist. Now it seems, not impressive.
“Hehehe…”
He laughed lowly while walking slowly towards Kawei.
The intense feeling of oppression and dominance gradually revealed an extremely vile villainous aura. It didn’t look like the demeanor of someone from the righteous path at all.
“Use your Martial Arts Will!”
“Do I have to force you?”
The Glazed Golden Light emanating from Bai Xiao grew more intense, with five dragons and ten elephants operating madly, roaring and clashing. The platinum-colored Qi flowing behind him surged tumultuously, displaying a sense of extreme density and weight.
“Arrogant!!!”
In the distance, Lion King Kawei, landing heavily, couldn’t hold back anymore.
Bai Xiao was more arrogant than him and extremely aggressive!
“Kunpeng Devouring Dragon Painting.”
“Demon Fist!”
Bai Xiao wasn’t just speaking; he directly took action. A huge black-golden phantom seemed to flash across his body, resembling both a giant kun and a roc. Terrifying power descended, forbidden aura enveloped.
The twin fists, as large as sandbags, ignited black flames.
“Whoosh!”
He charged forward, swinging his powerful arm in a domineering arc, as if a mountain were falling, crashing heavily towards Lion King Kawei. On his right fist, amidst the flames, a condensed Kunpeng phantom suddenly appeared.
“Bang!”
In the Demon Fist state of the Kunpeng Devouring Dragon Painting, the power was immense, the impact violent.
Lion King Kawei only exchanged one punch with Bai Xiao, and the bones in his entire right arm crackled as if fireworks had exploded. Uncontrollably, he flew sideways, using displacement techniques to reduce the impact before he stopped.
“Bang!”
However, at this moment.
Bai Xiao followed up with another punch, as swift as lightning.
Transitioning speed and force, his attack was too fast. Lion King Kawei, caught off guard, managed to block only half of the attack. The other half landed on his body, tearing through his combat suit, splattering blood.
“Whoosh!”
Again, the Lion King flew out, injured!
“Holy Fire Lion Seal!!!”
Faced with Bai Xiao charging forward a third time, the Qi covering Lion King’s arms burned fiercely. As he launched his attack, it was like a fiery lion pouncing. A deafening roar unleashed peak power!
However…
“Bang!”
The Lion King flew out again, more miserable than the last time.
His arms fractured, blood gushed, skin ruptured. He felt as if a giant dragon had crushed him, with no room for resistance.
The Holy Fire Lion Seal he launched was shattered on the spot by a massive black abyssal whale, torn into pieces. It wasn’t due to any mysterious power, merely because Bai Xiao’s strength was unimaginably great.
Lion King suspected that Bai Xiao could collapse half of South Lake with one punch!
“Swoosh!”
In mid-air, Kawei sped away.
Behind, a golden figure drew a parabola, chasing swiftly.
“Bang!”
Kawei landed heavily, creating a big pit.
He hadn’t had time to stand again.
“Boom!”
A ghostly face approached rapidly from above, its pupil dazzling with emotionless golden light. Bai Xiao seemed possessed by a Heavenly God, surrounded by a barbaric beast formed from two terrifying powers, orbiting his body like planets around a star. Within was a radiant golden dragon shadow, accompanied by two platinum glazed elephant shadows, all flying out together!
Towards the ground below, intertwined, erupting simultaneously!
It was as if dazzling platinum streams exploded on the ground.
Lion King Kawei felt enveloped by a peak, invincible, terrifying aura. Wounds continued to gush blood, his hairs standing on end.
Above, a voice filled with malice rang out.
“Unwilling to use Martial Arts Will, then don’t use it.”
“Just go die for me!”
