Chapter 52

Hong Feng walked like a dragon and a tiger, walking faster and faster, and a tyrannical aura gradually rose from his body.

He was indeed at Small Success in Qi Refining.

Xu Yang was unhurried, and the two were approaching rapidly.

"Senior Brother Xue, who do you think will win?" a Weiyuan Hall inner courtyard disciple asked Xue Fangsheng curiously.

Xue Fangsheng said: "They are both just at Small Success in Qi Refining, with equal cultivation. I don't know who will win, but even if they win, it will be a miserable victory, and they might even perish together."

Xu Yang’s comprehension was okay, and he had comprehended the Explosive Bear Force in the Bear-Mountain-Shaking Fist, so his combat power shouldn't be weak.

But Hong Feng was also a martial artist who had practiced for nearly three years. Even if his comprehension wasn't as good as Xu Yang’s, the time he had spent practicing was there.

It was hard to say who would win, but precisely because of this situation, whoever won wouldn't have an easy time.

"What, Xu Yang is also at Small Success in Qi Refining?" Hong Feng was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't have any extra words and attacked Xu Yang, entirely because in the news he had gathered, Xu Yang was only at early Qi Refining, which he could handle easily.

Now that Xu Yang’s cultivation had suddenly become Small Success in Qi Refining, the situation was completely different.

Just as Xue Fangsheng said, even if he won, it would be a miserable victory, and they might perish together.

He didn't want to fight this kind of battle at all; both sides would be hurt.

Thinking of this, Hong Feng’s running steps stopped abruptly, and he wanted to talk to Xu Yang again, striving for a peaceful resolution.

At this moment, Xu Yang moved.

He keenly grasped that the aura on Hong Feng’s body was chaotic, his fighting spirit was fading, and his pace had even stopped.

Although he didn't know what reason caused Hong Feng to make such a low-level mistake at such a critical moment, it didn't hinder his capture of the opportunity.

The opportunity appeared for an instant, and he launched a thunderous strike without hesitation.

In an instant, he assumed a posture of chest-in and back-out, his shoulders raised, and his spine, like a great dragon, seemed to come alive, vibrating section by section, pulling his body to rush out like a cannonball.

The ground under his feet shook, and the bluestone paving the street sank immediately, being stepped into a depression.

It was exactly the Bear-Pounce move of the Bear-Mountain-Shaking Fist, and he also used the Explosive Bear Force’s exertion method to increase his speed.

The air roared, and the unmelted snow on the side of the road was rolled up by the gale. With a flash of a figure, he had crossed the yard and approached Hong Feng.

His five fingers gripped tightly, and his fist tore through the air, aiming straight for Hong Feng’s throat.

"Bad!"

Hong Feng’s expression changed drastically. He had intended to negotiate, but he never expected to give Xu Yang a chance to take advantage, and the attack was a ruthless move that could kill people.

This didn't look like someone who had only practiced martial arts for half a year at all, but like a ruthless character who had many lives on his hands, grasping the timing accurately and attacking ruthlessly.

In the crisis, he retreated explosively, and at the same time, his five fingers formed a claw to hook Xu Yang’s wrist. As long as he grabbed it firmly, with his attainments in grappling, he could reverse the disadvantage in an instant.

A look of mockery appeared in Xu Yang’s eyes.

Because this punch was just a feint. A Small Success Qi-refining expert, even if they lost the initiative, wasn't someone he could take down in one move.

The next moment, his fist turned into a palm and slashed down violently, missing Hong Feng’s grab and striking heavily on Hong Feng’s chest.

"Bang!"

A sound like a drum beating rang out. Hong Feng’s face flushed red, and he felt the ferocious force nearly break his sternum, his blood and Qi surging.

"Such strong power!"

Xu Yang was like a bear standing upright; his power didn't seem human.

Hong Feng’s bones and muscles were trembling, and he couldn't control himself from taking large steps back, making the street tremble, his face full of shock.

This kind of power wasn't because of the Explosive Bear Force, but because Xu Yang’s physique was different from ordinary people.

"Good!" Zhang Yong roared.

Xu Yang didn't let him off, chasing after him like a thunderbolt, both fists striking Hong Feng’s temples.

Another killing move, all aiming for lethal spots!

A fierce glint rose in Hong Feng’s eyes, and he instantly understood that he didn't intend to defeat him, but to kill him directly.

He couldn't let Xu Yang get close; he had to reverse the disadvantage!

With a thought, he punched out into the air.

"Boom!"

A burst of True Qi shot out from his fist, aiming straight for Xu Yang’s chest.

Small Success in Qi Refining, True Qi leaving the body to kill the enemy!

This kind of method was actually something most Small Success Qi-refining experts wouldn't use because it consumed too much True Qi and the power wasn't very ideal.

However, he was forced by Xu Yang and had no choice but to use this method to fight for a chance to breathe.

Xu Yang didn't expect Hong Feng, who had performed mediocrely just now, to be so decisive. His muscles and tendons were like taut bowstrings, his waist twisted, and he dodged the shooting True Qi immediately.

"What a Bear King Turning Over move!" Zhang Yong couldn't help but roar again.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge the True Qi-leaving punch and would have had to take it with his body.

"Die!"

Xu Yang stood firm, and Hong Feng had already lunged over, his fists falling like raindrops, the gale whistling like a hammer striking.

He stepped on the ground, retreating while crossing his arms to sweep.

"Bang, bang!"

Their arms collided in an instant, making a muffled sound.

"Such a hard body."

Hong Feng’s expression changed. He felt that what he collided with wasn't flesh and blood, but two iron pillars cast from molten iron, terrifyingly hard.

His arms were so painful he gasped, as if they were about to break, and were bounced high, the counter-force making it difficult for his True Qi to continue.

With such a terrifying body, even if he hit him, could he really hurt him?

At this moment, Hong Feng’s defense was wide open, and Xu Yang didn't let this opportunity pass.

The bluestone under his feet collapsed, his muscles and bones made an explosive sound, and he shot out like an arrow, sticking close to Hong Feng.

His side waist swung his arm, his fist stabbing out like a great spear, tearing through the air with a muffled sound.

Hong Feng’s arms couldn't be retracted in time, and he could only watch as Xu Yang’s fist stabbed into his heart like a great spear, landing on the spot where he had been struck by a palm earlier.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bone cracking, Hong Feng’s sternum collapsed.

"Ah..."

His internal organs were all shattered by the invading Vajra True Qi, and he couldn't help but let out a heart-rending scream, his body thrown away.

With this, Hong Feng was either dead or crippled.

But Xu Yang didn't intend to let him live; even if he were crippled, it wouldn't do. Since they had a grudge, he would cut the weeds and dig up the roots.

Hong Feng had practiced martial arts at the Tiger-Roaring Fist School for three years; who knew if he would know some people with backgrounds? Letting Hong Feng live, he didn't want to have trouble later.

He lunged out, hugged Hong Feng’s thighs with both hands, and smashed him heavily onto the ground.

With a bang, Hong Feng was smashed until his head cracked, brains splattered, and his cervical spine broke, piercing through his skin and flesh, and he stopped moving.

Xu Yang stood still, his boiling blood and Qi gradually calming down, and the fierce light in his eyes began to fade.

Hong Feng was weaker than he had expected; everything happened in a flash, and he had killed him without even using the Wind-Thunder Force.

It was mainly because Hong Feng didn't know what was wrong with him during the first move, letting him take the initiative and injure him with one palm.

Then it was the credit of the Vajra Technique, which made his physique far harder than those at the same level, and his brute force was also great.

The surroundings were silent; no one expected life and death to be decided so quickly, and Xu Yang had beaten Hong Feng to death on the spot.

"Feng'er..."

Only the people from the Hong family reacted the fastest, letting out shrill screams.
