Chapter 1293: Chapter 1292: Take My Punch
From Zhong Ruofeng’s perspective, Chen Tianlong’s strength is nothing impressive. The reason Xue Kong fell to him must have been due to carelessness and the possibility of getting hurt from a sneak attack.
However, he couldn’t figure out how Chen Tianlong managed to defeat Xue Kong with such limited ability.
"Haha, I was just testing the waters earlier. Do you really think I’m only capable of that? You’ll see my true capabilities soon." Chen Tianlong’s words seemed half-true, with the intention of disrupting others’ thoughts, making everyone think he has skill, yet also making the opponent feel he’s boasting.
Clearly, Chen Tianlong achieved his purpose.
Feng Shi from the Scorpio Gang and Ren Kun from the Assassin Group immediately sensed that Chen Tianlong had some skill. Facing such formidable opponents with such calmness and composure surely meant that victory was already within his grasp.
From Ren Kun’s viewpoint, this person’s style resembled his master Zhang Tiegen, who always maintained control of the situation and held others in the palm of his hand.
Although he was unsure of Chen Tianlong’s identity or abilities, he could sense that this person was playing, not competing.
If someone can treat a tense competition and a formidable opponent as a game, how terrifying must they be. Ren Kun could feel Chen Tianlong’s threat even before battling him.
This was a natural aura of dominance. Just standing among the crowd could instill a sense of intimidation.
"Heh, keep boasting then. I’ll see what you’re capable of. Take my punch." With that, Zhong Ruofeng dashed to Chen Tianlong’s front, his speed being astonishingly quick, all within a moment.
Chen Tianlong’s Ghost Shadow Flash took effect, even startling himself, not knowing when it upgraded, but now it was incredibly fast.
He vaguely remembered the last time he used Ghost Shadow Flash in the Huishan battle. At that time, he felt it was faster, but opportunities were scarce, and he used it only once, unsure if it was an illusion.
Ghost Shadow Flash changed, perhaps due to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill’s effect, leading to a significant improvement in all his skills.
Zhong Ruofeng’s punch hit the air, leaving him quite frustrated. This guy was truly uncanny; no wonder Xue Kong lost to him. Turns out he’s got such heaven-defying skills that his movements can vanish in the blink of an eye.
Instant movement?
Zhong Ruofeng shook his head; that’s unlikely. Instant movement is a skill only possessed by legendary Extreme Dao masters, and Chen Tianlong is just Celestial Dao, so how could he?
Once he figured everything out, Zhong Ruofeng began using his ultimate move.
"Chen Tianlong, earlier I was just playing around to test the waters. Now that I know you lack true skill, I don’t plan to play anymore. Let’s just stand still and unleash our ultimate moves for a hard clash, dare or not?"
Zhong Ruofeng said loudly, in this way he could defeat Chen Tianlong in one move while conserving energy.
Most importantly, he could hit Chen Tianlong.
Otherwise, if Chen Tianlong kept using this move to dodge, they might not have a decisive outcome even by tomorrow. Thus, Zhong Ruofeng decided to go for it. If Chen Tianlong refused, it meant he was scared, had no true ability, making continued competition meaningless.
Because he already won in reputation, everyone knew the result. Chen Tianlong’s refusal would indirectly admit that his previous victories, including defeating Xue Kong and other masters, were achieved through trickery, lacking true skill.
"Haha, whatever you want."
Chen Tianlong’s response left Zhong Ruofeng baffled. If he truly wasn’t afraid, why dodge earlier, but seeing as his punch had limited power, it seemed to be pretending.
Zhong Ruofeng felt joyous inside, as Chen Tianlong to show off, disregarded his own life. He truly thought they were sparring, not just settling scores with Lei Laowu, even though he had injured so many disciples from the Celestial Pill Sect, it wouldn’t be settled with just a spar.
No time to waste, Zhong Ruofeng finally found such a perfect opportunity and had to seize it.
Thus, he rapidly utilized his Heart Method, without intending to use any Martial Technique. In his view, with his Celestial Dao seven-star peak strength, if he exerted all his power, a direct punch could essentially break all Chen Tianlong’s meridians.
At that point, how Lei Laowu would deal with Chen Tianlong, he didn’t care.
His current task was to defeat Chen Tianlong in one move and seriously injure him.
Zhong Ruofeng’s motives were clear; once Chen Tianlong was hit, he would quickly strike multiple punches at him, which would, even if it didn’t kill, leave him crippled.
Needless to say, Zhong Ruofeng, being from the Celestial Pill Sect, shared the same ruthlessness, all aiming for people’s lives.
Chen Tianlong sensed that his stamina and Powerful Qi had restored to 100%, and at the same time, his Powerful Qi Bomb also reached over 95%.
With such power, if it struck a vital point when the opponent wasn’t particularly alert, it could injure, even a Celestial Dao seven-star Great Perfection shouldn’t be safe, let alone if not at Great Perfection.
Once everything was ready, three silver needles appeared in Chen Tianlong’s left hand. He planned to seal the opponent’s pathways the moment an attack was launched. Based on Zhong Ruofeng’s power, it would take more than three seconds to break through the points, but these three seconds were enough.
If he couldn’t promptly use Powerful Qi to protect, then being hit directly by his 95% Powerful Qi Bomb would undoubtedly break all meridians, possibly posing a life threat.
However, seeing that earlier, he provided Lei Laowu with Small Rejuvenation Pills, Zhong Ruofeng’s men should have stocked Great and Small Rejuvenation Pills. So, Chen Tianlong acted more boldly with peace of mind.
Don’t wait until a move leads to a fatality; though the ring has rules, trouble could arise if anyone dies. As long as no one dies, clashes between practitioners are unlikely to involve the police.
At that moment, Zhong Ruofeng was poised and ready, his fists’ Inner Strength fully gathered, then suddenly, Zhong Ruofeng moved.
In that second, Zhong Ruofeng appeared two meters before Chen Tianlong, his right fist striking with a burst of fierce force.
"Kid, take this!"
Zhong Ruofeng outwardly said this, but inwardly chanted, "Chen Tianlong, die!"
Watching Zhong Ruofeng’s arrogant appearance, how could Chen Tianlong not see through his must-win mentality? Yet Chen Tianlong casually waved his left hand, and three gleaming silver needles instantly struck both of Zhong Ruofeng’s hands.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong pushed out his right palm, and suddenly a fist-sized Powerful Qi Bomb flew out, but upon reaching Zhong Ruofeng’s chest, it expanded to the size of a basketball.
