As Hua Yu unleashed his Thunderous Fist, the air crackled with the sound of lightning.
Lin Hao, facing the thunderous punch, did not evade.
He pushed his palms forward, meeting the attack head-on.
The next second.
Fist met palm.
Lin Hao felt a surge of immense power flow into his body through his hands.
Then, he was sent staggering back several steps.
"Is this the strength of a Grandmaster?"
Lin Hao nodded as he watched himself being pushed back.
Such power could indeed injure him.
At the same time.
Hua Yu, who had also watched Lin Hao retreat from his punch, his expression drastically changed.
He had expected Lin Hao to be either dead or crippled by his punch.
But to his surprise, Lin Hao had merely taken a few steps back, his expression unchanged.
After all.
He now possessed the strength of a Grandmaster.
While not the true strength of a Grandmaster, he could certainly unleash half of a Grandmaster's power.
And against someone like Lin Hao, a Grandmaster wouldn't even need half their strength.
As the little darkie had said earlier.
One-tenth of his strength would have been more than enough.
Yet now, Lin Hao had only retreated a few steps against his full-power strike.
Hua Yu looked at Lin Hao, took a deep breath, and charged at him again.
He refused to believe Lin Hao was truly this formidable.
After all, Lin Hao was not a Hua Jin Grandmaster.
If he wasn't a Hua Jin Grandmaster, how much stronger could he possibly be?
With these thoughts, Hua Yu changed his palm into a claw, ducked low, and lunged directly for Lin Hao's lower body!
Lin Hao felt a chill as Hua Yu viciously attacked his lower regions.
Then, Lin Hao sidestepped, evading the attack, and with a cold glint in his eyes, struck back.
Having already experienced the power of a Grandmaster.
Lin Hao held nothing back this time.
With a raise of his hand, a Dharma seal descended upon Hua Yu's head!
Hua Yu, who had intended to continue his attack on Lin Hao's lower body, suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.
Startled, without thinking, he raised his hand to block the incoming strike.
However, the moment his raised hand met Lin Hao's massive palm seal.
He felt an immense, mountain-like pressure bearing down on his head.
"Crack!"
Hua Yu's arm snapped!
Yet Hua Yu could not release his guard, for if he did, Lin Hao's palm seal would land directly on his head.
At that point, he feared he would surely die.
Hua Yu gritted his teeth, enduring the pressure, his face contorted with rage, while his heart churned with terror!
He couldn't comprehend why Lin Hao was so powerful.
Why was someone who wasn't a Hua Jin Grandmaster so outrageously strong?
He was, after all, at the peak of the Inner Strength realm, considered invincible below the Hua Jin Grandmaster level.
Yet, in their exchange, Lin Hao was dominating him.
At this moment, he even began to doubt if Lin Hao was using any secret techniques.
After all, if he were, the time for such techniques would have long passed.
Hua Yu pondered these thoughts with bewildered suspicion, gritting his teeth and struggling to hold on.
But as he struggled, Lin Hao raised his hand and unleashed another Dharma seal.
Seeing the massive palm seal Lin Hao sent his way, Hua Yu's expression changed instantly.
He instinctively tried to block, but before he could even move.
The colossal palm seal was already upon him.
"Boom!"
Hua Yu was sent flying backward by the impact.
"Senior Brother!"
Hua Chengyang screamed, scrambling and tumbling towards Hua Yu.
"I... I'm fine."
Hua Yu shook his head and slowly rose from the ground.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Hua Yu glared at Lin Hao with fierce hatred and snarled, "Lin Hao, die!"
Lin Hao frowned at Hua Yu's venomous expression, his heart immediately on guard.
However.
Just as Lin Hao expected Hua Yu to unleash some trump card.
Suddenly.
Hua Yu grabbed Hua Chengyang and, with lightning speed, dashed out of the villa.
His movements were so swift that even Lin Hao was caught off guard.
It was only after Hua Yu and Hua Chengyang had completely vanished that Lin Hao reacted.
At the same time, Xiao Hei looked at Lin Hao and said with a hint of self-reproach, "Senior Brother, I was negligent just now. I shouldn't have let them escape."
"It's fine. It's good to let them go back and report," Lin Hao waved his hand and said with narrowed eyes, "It's good to let them go back and report."
"I'd like to see how divine this legendary Old Master Hua is, the one who can shake the entire Modu with a stomp."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, a flicker of worry crossed Xiao Hei's face.
"Senior Brother, I heard that Old Master Hua is a Hua Jin Grandmaster," Xiao Hei said, looking at Lin Hao with concern.
"There are only a few Hua Jin Grandmasters in all of China."
"If this Old Master Hua is truly a Hua Jin Grandmaster, then we likely stand no chance."
"Yes, I understand what you mean," Lin Hao nodded, then smiled at Xiao Hei, "But Hua Jin Grandmasters are not invincible."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Xiao Hei recalled the scene just moments ago and looked at Lin Hao, puzzled, "Senior Brother, if you hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten."
"How is your strength so high?"
"I feel like even I am no match for you."
"You don't need to feel it. You truly are no match for me," Lin Hao said with a smile.
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Xiao Hei's face darkened, "Senior Brother, aren't you being a bit too discouraging?"
"You've never been my match since we were kids. How did you suddenly become so strong?"
"I was letting you win," Lin Hao chuckled.
"Senior Brother, can you not brag?" Xiao Hei said with a dark expression.
"You are a martial artist, and I am a Diviner. When I fight you, I naturally have to hold back. If I don't, what if I injure you?"
"I don't believe you," Xiao Hei shook his head, but in his heart, he was starting to believe.
He also felt that Lin Hao had genuinely been letting him win since they were children, otherwise, Lin Hao couldn't have become so strong so suddenly.
Seeing Xiao Hei's seemingly convinced expression, Lin Hao burst into laughter, "I was kidding."
"Senior Brother, you!" Xiao Hei's eyes widened.
Lin Hao, still laughing, quickly added, "Don't rush, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
"Actually, when I was young, I couldn't control the attack methods within Divination arts, which is why I always lost to you."
"And now, as my realm continuously improves, I can easily employ some of the attack methods in Divination arts."
"However, I didn't expect the power of those attack methods in Divination arts to be so great."
Hearing Lin Hao's explanation, Xiao Hei nodded as if he finally understood.
No wonder he felt that Lin Hao had suddenly become so powerful.
With these thoughts, Xiao Hei couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother, what realm has your Divination art reached?"
