500: Chapter 495: Crushing Defeat 500: Chapter 495: Crushing Defeat James, seeing the attack, leapt to avoid the forceful thrust of the sword, as Feng Pinglang’s blade pierced into the ground.
With a slight bend, it fiercely snapped back, attacking upwards.
This was the ingenious variation of the sword technique, where the tip’s snap added even more ferocity, and with Feng Pinglang’s robust Inner Strength, James had no chance to evade.
“Swoosh!”
The sword pierced precisely into James’s chest.
“We won!” “We won!”…
With the sharp sword penetrating the vital area of the chest, the opponent was undoubtedly doomed.
The spectators in the venue started a wave of people; this international martial arts exchange finally ended with a victory for the Chinese side!
“That guy is done for!
Master Feng Pinglang has won!”
“The damn foreign devil, finally defeated!”
“This time, who dares to say that our great China’s martial arts are not up to par?”
…
The spectators on site, in front of the televisions, and at their computers were all exceptionally exuberant.
Even the taxi drivers who could only listen to the competition progress through the radio cheered out loud.
The sound system playing the national anthem in front of People’s Square in Jiangcheng also began broadcasting people’s cheers!
We won, we won…
——The entire mainland of Shenzhou was enveloped in such a mindset at this moment!
However, upon the martial arts platform, James did not fall.
Feng Pinglang was also unusually astonished; if the lack of bleeding from the earlier cuts to his limbs could be attributed to James’s thick skin, then his own sword, which had clearly penetrated James’s chest by several centimeters, should have caused bleeding, yet there was none.
This was beyond understanding.
“Did you think you’ve won?”
Finally, James spoke, his cold chill making Feng Pinglang feel suffocated.
All of a sudden, a powerful force burst forth from within James’s body, exploding like the detonation of an atomic bomb!
Feng Pinglang was sent flying over ten meters and fell heavily to the ground…
The wave of people at the scene stopped!
The host was dumbfounded, the audience was dumbfounded, the higher-ups were dumbfounded, the entire mainland of Shenzhou was dumbfounded!
To be pierced through the chest and not die, and what’s more, to be able to unleash such powerful force, who was this James?
Could he be a monster?
After the outburst of Inner Strength, steam continuously rose from James’s body, and the color of his skin began to turn bright red.
Under the influence of the Inner Strength, his muscles emitted a “crackling” noise that sounded terrifying.
“These yellow-skinned pigs actually dared to underestimate James!
Do you know who James is?
If I told you, it would scare you to death!
From the beginning until now, James hasn’t even used his real strength!”
In the rest area for the foreign Martial Artists, the leader of the martial arts exchange team sneered.
Although Feng Pinglang had the upper hand just now, he was not panicked at all, because he knew that James was invincible!
“…”
Atop the martial arts platform, Feng Pinglang’s face was filled with astonishment, having just been hit by the rebound of James’s Inner Strength, which left him breathing unsteadily.
It should be known that having cultivated the Inner Strength of the Huashan Sect to perfection, even if he were injured, his breathing shouldn’t be impeded.
But the fact that James’s Inner Strength could injure him meant that this foreigner’s Inner Strength far surpassed his own…
So this was the true strength of James.
Feng Pinglang’s face showed bitterness as he struggled to rise from the ground.
Bearing the honor of the nation and ethnicity, even if the enemy was stronger, Feng Pinglang could not surrender and admit defeat.
The sword in his hand was his last key to victory; with the sword, he stood, without the sword, he would fall!
“Master Feng!
Keep it up!”
“Master Feng!
Don’t be discouraged!”
“Master Feng, we stand with you!”
…
The spectators, no matter where they were, as long as they could witness the live broadcast of this martial arts exchange, all clenched their fists, praying for Feng Pinglang.
Feng Pinglang, carrying the hopes of the entire mainland of Shenzhou, exerted his strongest force.
He concentrated all his power at the tip of his sword.
This sword, aimed straight at James’s throat!
Facing the raging thrust from his opponent, James did not dodge.
It wasn’t that the attack was too fast to avoid; rather, he felt there was no need to dodge at all.
“Whoosh!”
The sharp sword struck James’s throat but could not penetrate; instead, it was shattered by James’s robust Inner Strength!
The desperate sword strike, in the face of James, posed no threat at all…
“Boom!”
Feng Pinglang’s heart turned to ashes as James’s fist heavily pounded into Feng’s chest, smashing all of his ribs.
James did not let up but pulled the defenseless Feng Pinglang in front of him, then whispered in his ear—
“Weakling, that was merely half of my strength.”
At those words, Feng Pinglang’s eyes lost all their sparkle, and James, turning his fist into a palm, viciously thrust his hand into Feng’s abdomen.
The esteemed master of the Huashan Sect, Mr.
Feng Pinglang, the man on whom everyone had placed their hopes, just like that, died at the hands of James!
“No, don’t!”, “No, don’t!”…
The audience began to shout in despair.
Even Feng Pinglang had perished on the spot; was there anyone in the whole land of China who could contend with James?
After killing Feng Pinglang, James did not stop.
He threaded the scrawny corpse of Feng onto his arm, and then loudly said, “Sick men of East Asia!
Remember this day!
This is your martial artist!
Your martial artists have no power to resist against our might!
Your nation doesn’t deserve to survive!”
He insulted not only the body of Feng Pinglang but also the entire Chinese nation with his words!
Anyone who heard James speak was uncontrollably furious.
Every Chinese person’s eyes shone with a red light, wishing they could devour James whole.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
In the rest area for Chinese martial artists, Yu Bo of the Qingcheng Sect, and the Tai Chi master Wu Chen, both leaped onto the stage.
One had sustained internal injuries, and the other was poisoned; both were originally unfit to fight.
But seeing James speaking so firmly and blatantly insulting their country and nation, how could these two masters stay seated?
Fairness was no longer a concern at this point; Yu Bo and Wu Chen, flanking from the left and right, attacked James!
“Ants!”
James sneered, tossing the body of Feng Pinglang away, and stood unfazed in the face of the attack from both sides.
As Yu Bo and Wu Chen reached him, James lashed out with both fists like cannonballs.
The fists were not only ferocious, but the force of the punches alone could strangle a person!
In the face of such strength, the exquisite sword techniques of the Qingcheng Sect and the centuries-old Tai Chi stood no ground.
“Aaaaaah~~~~~~~~~~”
“Waaaaah~~~~~~~~~~”
Yu Bo and Wu Chen were sent flying by James’s punch.
Already wounded and poisoned, they couldn’t bear the earth-shattering blow.
They fell to the ground and died.
One James had nearly wiped out all of China’s experts…
“You sick men of East Asia, if any of you is still not convinced, step forward and challenge me!”
James proclaimed this loudly, not just to those in the arena but also to those watching on TV and computers.
It was a naked provocation to the entire continent of China!
Everyone clenched their teeth, gripped their fists tightly, and wished a thunderbolt could strike James dead right then and there.
But no one else stepped forward to challenge James.
Facing such a formidable opponent, everyone knew that going up would only ensure their own brutal defeat…
James stood atop the fighting stage for a full ten minutes!
Ten minutes of waiting, with no challengers…
For China, every minute of those ten was an agony, and with each passing second, the dignity of the entire nation was dealt a tremendous blow!
They lost, not only this martial arts exchange but perhaps the fortunes of the entire nation…
“Hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~”
James laughed maniacally as he stepped down from the stage, his departure marking the end of the second day of the international martial arts exchange.
Just like the first day, it was a complete victory for the foreigners!
The broadcast cut off, presumably, the broadcaster no longer had the heart to air the remainder of the martial arts exchange.
Spectators in front of TVs and computers couldn’t see James’s arrogant triumph anymore, nor could they know if any conflicts occurred after the match, how the Chinese audience exited the scene.
With no more video footage available, all the viewers unleashed their emotions immediately.
“Damn the foreigners!
So arrogant and proud!
Where is our military?
Why aren’t they dispatched to annihilate them?”
Ye Tian clearly heard someone cursing right outside the security rest room’s door; it was surely an employee of Yun Corporation, driven by their frustration.
“But, these foreigners are so powerful, especially that James.
His strength is simply indescribable with words!
If our country sends the military to wipe them out, can we truly kill them?”
Another person worriedly said.
It was humiliating enough that they were outclassed in martial arts, and now to consider sending the military to wipe them out?
And besides, with the foreigners showing such prowess, even if the military were deployed, could they assure a total victory?
If the military proved ineffective, the nation would’ve lost tremendous face, the national spirit would be gone, and such a weakened country could be attacked by the powerful nations once again…
Not only were Yun Corporation’s employees indignant, but online, there was a torrent of criticism.
On major forums, netizens had already exploded in uproar!
