The scorching summer sun baked the earth, making even the air that filled oneâs lungs burn hot.Panting and retreating, E Huâs sweat drenched his back, while beads of perspiration cascaded down his cheeks like a waterfall.
He hadnât expected that his most powerful punch would be so effortlessly blocked by Brother Hu.
E Hu had been practicing combat sports for many years; with his skills, he was one of the best within the Dragon Tyranny Association, which had led him to his position as the manager of the Capital Cityâs branch.
Perspiration from his forehead dripped into his eyes.
E Hu wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
In truth, his task today was merely to scope out the Victory Sky Society, but a simple exchange with Brother Hu had stirred the passion within him.
Although he was aware he might not be Brother Huâs match, he was exhilarated in that moment, exceptionally exhilarated.
E Hu clenched his fists tightly, his arm muscles bulging and his blue meridians clearly visible.
Bending his knees slightly, he suddenly pushed off the ground, charging at Brother Hu again like a cheetah.
This time, E Huâs speed had more than doubled.
As he neared Brother Hu, he threw a straight punch towards his face.
The whooshing punch, now faster and stronger, reverberated in the air.
Seeing the increase in E Huâs strength, Brother Huâs mouth curled into a rugged smile.
Now, Brother Hu was considered a top fighter in the Capital Cityâs Victory Sky Society, and he had been itching for a fight these past days.
As someone was willingly offering himself as a punching bag, why wouldnât he indulge?
Brother Hu casually stepped aside, easily avoiding E Huâs attack, and said, âCome on!
Letâs continue.â
Enraged by Brother Huâs mocking challenge, E Huâs veins on his forehead bulged.
After the missed strike, he swiftly turned and aimed a kick at Brother Huâs lower abdomen with a fluid series of movements that most people couldnât have reacted to in time.
But Brother Huâs body had already been enhanced by Ye Chenfengâs Soul Force, and he never neglected his daily training.
As E Huâs right foot nearly reached him, Brother Hu instinctively retreated three steps, narrowly dodging the kick.
He was genuinely surprised and chuckled, âClose, very close to getting me.
It looks like I really canât let my guard down.
Youâre not half bad.â
âEnough talk.
Our match isnât over yet.
Who will lose, and who will win?
Itâs too soon to say.â Defiant, E Hu charged at Brother Hu again, aiming a cunningly fast punch at his chest.
This time, Brother Hu chose not to dodge.
Instead, he met E Huâs charge with a punch of his own, âBang!â The two fists collided, and E Hu felt as if the bones in his entire arm were about to shatter, while Brother Hu only felt a slight numbness.
Taking advantage of E Huâs moment of shock, Brother Hu didnât hesitate; he kicked him in his waist, sending E Hu flying and crashing to the ground in a cloud of dust.
The twenty or so subordinates who followed E Hu to the scene widened their eyes in disbelief.
Having followed E Hu for years, they were well aware of his strength.
They had never seen him lose so quickly and decisively.
E Hu, sprawled on the ground, struggled with uneven breathing as he got to his feet.
His eyes burned with unwillingness as he stared at Brother Hu.
Brother Hu spoke up, âWhatâs the matter?
Do you still want to continue?
Youâve lost.
You canât even beat me, and you want to challenge my boss one-on-one? á´his chapter is á´pdated by É´ová´l(F)ÉŞre.É´et
Join our Victory Sky Society obediently!
Donât forget what you said just now.â
E Huâs face changed, but then he let go.
He wasnât one to deceive himself; he knew he couldnât possibly defeat Brother Hu.
Glancing again at Ye Chenfeng, who appeared frail with thin arms and legs, E Hu couldnât shake the feeling that Ye Chen just looked like a pretty boy, surely no real challenger.
E Hu valued loyalty highly.
It was out of the question for him to betray the Dragon Tyranny Association and join the Victory Sky Society.
The challenging words he had spoken were merely blurted out in haste.
He straightened his face and addressed Ye Chen, âDidnât your subordinate just say you could take me down in one move or less?
Having your subordinate defeat me doesnât prove anything.
Is the president of the Victory Sky Society a coward?â
âIf you dare to insult my boss again, watch how I treat you!
It was clear what I said before; if you want to face my boss, you have to beat me first.
And have you beaten me?â Brother Hu said indignantly.
Unyielding, E Hu fixed his gaze on Ye Chen and enunciated every word, âAre you truly afraid to face me one-on-one?â
âIs this guy really out of his mind?
Wanting to challenge our boss to a duel?
Doesnât he think heâs humiliating himself enough?â Han Wei looked at Brother Hu with pity.
âIn my opinion, the person who could beat our boss hasnât been born yet.
What is this so-called Brother Hu?
His strength is so weak, we could easily take him down.â Yuan An immediately agreed, as they had followed Ye Chenfeng from Capital Cityâs Leap Troop.
Their strength was on par with Brother Hu, so in their eyes, Brother Hu truly wasnât worth mentioning.
As the higher-ups of the Victory Sky Society whispered among themselves, Ye Chenfeng accepted Brother Huâs request, âFine, I can give you a chance to duel me, and Iâll have you on the ground within one move.â
Upon hearing Ye Chenfengâs acceptance and witnessing his arrogant demeanor, a cold smile appeared on Brother Huâs face.
Since Ye Chenfeng spoke so absolutely, what did it matter if he was an expert?
If he could withstand two strikes from Ye Chenfeng, then even if he lost, technically he would have won, not to mention he didnât believe that someone with a âpretty boyâ face like Ye Chenâs strength could be all that impressive.
âIt seems the president of the Victory Sky Society is quite courageous.
I take back what I said earlier, shall we start the contest now?
Donât hold back, please.â Brother Hu struck a pose, readying himself for attack.
âAre you ready?â Ye Chenfeng asked indifferently.
âIâve been ready.
You can make the first move.
I want to see how you plan to beat me in one move.â Brother Huâs eyes were fixated on Ye Chenfeng.
With a âbang!â as soon as Brother Hu finished speaking, his body inexplicably flew backwards, crashing heavily against the surrounding wall of the Victory Sky Societyâs clubhouse, his eyes dull with astonishment, staring blankly at Ye Chenfeng, who had not moved an inch from his original position.
Ye Chenfeng had masterfully utilized his Soul Force, not truly injuring Brother Hu, as he could be of some use to him.
Brother Hu slowly got up from the ground, his legs shaking uncontrollably, and looked at Ye Chenfeng with distrust, asking, âWas that, was what just happened because of you?â
Ye Chenfeng did not deny it and nodded, âI didnât even use my hands or feet just now.
That should count as beating you within one move, right?â
âImpossible, how can this be possible?
How could I have been sent flying for no reason?
I donât believe it, I just donât believe it.â Brother Hu shook his head vigorously, sceptical of such supernatural abilities since it was his first encounter with them.
âBelieve it or not, it makes no difference.
Youâve lost to me, now donât forget the promise you made.
If youâre still not convinced, I can give you another chance, though Iâm afraid the result will be the same,â said Ye Chenfeng nonchalantly.
âYou said it.â Still shocked, Brother Hu regained his spirit and charged towards Ye Chenfeng.
He refused to believe Ye Chenfeng possessed such supernatural abilities.
Just as he was about to reach Ye Chenfeng, that same sensation hit, and his body was inexplicably repelled by a force and sent flying again.
Now, even Brother Hu found it hard not to believe.
Slumped against the wall, Brother Hu stayed silent for a long time.
After a good ten minutes, his eyes firmed up, âIt seems I have to break the promise I made today.
Kill me if you must!
I, Brother Hu, definitely wonât blink.â
âIt looks like youâre a man of loyalty, a pity that not everyone in this world will reciprocate.
Being loyal is good, but you have to know whom itâs worthy of.
Alright, off you go!â
The Victory Sky Societyâs executives looked at Ye Chenfeng with confusion as he whispered to them, âSend these people from the Dragon Tyranny Association away from the Victory Sky Society.
Remember, show them some warmth, as there are definitely members from the other two associations watching us closely.â (To be continued.
