Instead, it felt as if he had kicked a solid steel plate. The recoil force numbed his sole, and a faint stinging sensation shot up his nerves to his brain.
“How is this possible!”
Yu Xu exclaimed in shock. While he hadn’t used his full strength with that kick, in his mind, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to block it as if it were nothing.
But that wasn’t all. ‘Li Chonglou’s’ other fist had already landed squarely on him.
The next second, Yu Xu’s expression contorted into a grimace of extreme pain as he was sent flying backward.
There was no heavy impact sound, nor any other anomaly. It was just an ordinary, almost light, punch, yet its effect left the other two stunned.
At the same time, the two of them suddenly felt their bodies return to normal. They grunted and gasped for breath.
“I hate this feeling the most!”
Qing Lin said with annoyance, clutching her chest. One of the reasons she disliked Yu Xu was this! This wasn’t the first time she’d experienced it, but she still found it incredibly repulsive.
Meanwhile, Yue Hai’s attention was completely captivated by ‘Li Chonglou’s’ punch.
It wasn’t just him; Li Chonglou in his mind couldn’t help but ask, “Old Lin, what kind of technique is that? I don’t see you using much force, yet you can unleash such immense power in an instant?”
Old Lin replied with a hint of pride, “It’s my self-created Exploding Star Fist. What do you think, not bad, right?”
“Very strong!”
Li Chonglou didn’t hesitate to praise it. Such an unexpected effect was like a killing blow in combat, capable of catching the enemy off guard and achieving miraculous results.
Yu Xu had just managed to catch his breath. Li Chonglou’s previous punch was like a drill. On the surface, there was no visible injury, but all the damage had penetrated his skin and entered his internal organs!
Yu Xu felt as if a drill was constantly turning inside him. If his internal energy hadn’t been substantial enough to resist until it completely subsided, that one punch would have rendered him completely incapacitated.
How could this be!
Yu Xu’s eyes were filled with horror. It was clearly just an ordinary-looking punch, but the damage it unleashed far exceeded his imagination!
“Impossible! It must be a special move!”
Yu Xu climbed up from the ground, his unconvinced eyes fixed on ‘Li Chonglou’.
‘Li Chonglou’ stretched his limbs, beckoning Yu Xu with a provocative grin.
“Not convinced? Come again.”
“You’ll know the consequences of provoking me!”
A fierce killing intent erupted in Yu Xu’s eyes. An even colder aura exploded forth than before. This time, even though Yue Hai and Qing Lin had prepared themselves mentally, they instantly lost their ability to react.
They felt a chilling presence pierce their very bones, and their consciousness began to lag. It was as if a moment ago the person was still in place, but in the blink of an eye, they had appeared somewhere else.
At this moment, their thoughts couldn’t keep up with Yu Xu’s movements, but ‘Li Chonglou’, at the center of the aura, wore a smile.
In his mind.
“Little Li, your killing intent is indeed formidable. This kid’s aura has some substance, but compared to yours, it’s nothing.”
As soon as he spoke, Yu Xu’s figure disappeared from his sight. His heart suddenly pounded in alarm, and he instinctively kicked backward.
But the next moment, he felt his foot being held by someone, unable to move.
“That’s it?”
Old Lin exerted a slight force, and Yu Xu was sent flying to the side. Such a humiliating move made Yu Xu’s eyes turn bloodshot.
“You’re asking for death!”
Yu Xu’s previously refined demeanor was completely gone. He was now like a wild beast just released from its cage, roaring ferociously at Li Chonglou.
Yu Xu’s body slightly tensed, assuming a preparatory stance for a charge. Old Lin’s eyes suddenly narrowed.
“Oh, Body Burst Technique? Interesting.”
“Body Burst Technique? You know his skill?”
Li Chonglou was somewhat surprised. After all, Old Lin was not from China, while Yu Xu was undoubtedly a pure Chinese. How could a foreigner know a Chinese technique? Or had Yu Xu learned this skill from abroad?
Old Lin didn’t answer, because Yu Xu had moved.
His speed was more than twice what it was before. A sound akin to a sonic boom emanated from his original position, and a wave of air rapidly spread outwards. However, before the air wave reached them, he had already appeared in front of Old Lin.
“Go to hell!”
Yu Xu’s right hand blurred, but the next moment, it brushed past ‘Li Chonglou’s’ heart.
Yu Xu’s expression faltered, but he quickly clenched his right fist and extended his left hand in a claw-like motion. As ‘Li Chonglou’ dodged to the side again, his right hand swiftly and powerfully swung!
At this moment, it was too late for ‘Li Chonglou’ to dodge again, but his face still wore that composed smile.
Bang! ‘Li Chonglou’ blocked Yu Xu’s backhand with one hand, but this time, Yu Xu was pushed aside entirely.
Joy flashed in Yu Xu’s eyes. This was the first time he had gained the upper hand since the fight began, and it greatly boosted his confidence, restoring his self-belief.
“Die!”
Yu Xu roared and charged again. A sonic boom once again erupted from his original position. However, before he could even cover half the distance, he was stopped by ‘Li Chonglou’.
“You’re not worthy.”
At this moment, a peculiar smile appeared on ‘Li Chonglou’s’ lips. Instead of retreating, he advanced, actively responding to Yu Xu’s provocation. As he threw a punch, he also swung his own fist.
With a muffled bang, two comparable fists collided, and both took a step back. The next second, Yu Xu threw his left punch again.
He responded with his left fist again, and this time, both staggered back several steps.
“I don’t believe it!”
Yu Xu was on the verge of madness. He had always been the one to provoke others. Even when encountering stronger experts, he had never experienced such a demeaning situation. Every move of the opponent was a provocation, as if he were being toyed with like a monkey!
Yu Xu, with a nearly frenzied expression, charged forward again. At this point, he had completely lost all fighting technique. Every punch he threw was imbued with his intense killing intent!
Then, his every attack was met and responded to by Old Lin, who controlled Li Chonglou’s body, with corresponding movements.
“Is that all? Is that all?”
Old Lin taunted incessantly. With the same moves, he was overpowering Yu Xu, forcing him to retreat step by step!
When the two were slightly separated by the dull thud of impacts, Yue Hai and Qing Lin finally broke free from their bizarre state and regained their ability to move.
Although their thoughts had been delayed, they could still clearly see the general situation.
“Damn, Brother Li is that strong!”
