[Oh-ho, so they’re after me, is it? They wanted first to take care of the pesky flies before they came for me, ha-ha-ha…]
Despite the two coming at him with murder in their eyes, Zhuo Fan replied to their savage glares with a faint smile.
For the audience, it was the moment they had all been waiting for.
Wen Tao and Han Yunfeng were also eager to see how Zhuo Fan would put the tough and flexible twins in their place.
Whoosh~
Darting around a few times, the two closed in on Zhuo Fan as their hands weaved gestures.
“Mountain and Forest’s Shadow, the Crushing Mountain!”
Boom!
With Cong Shan’s shout, a yellow light shot straight for Zhuo Fan like a raging bull.
Such destructive power was enough to pulverize even the body of an Ethereal Stage expert!
“Mountain and Forest’s Shadow, the Spreading Forest!”
Hum~
As green light pervaded and rippled forward, Cong Lin’s eyes flashed, his hands making signs as he followed his brother to strike down Zhuo Fan.
Wen Tao’s brow shook. “The two sure are paranoid about being so cautious around Zhuo Fan. They’re using a different attack than they used on the six.”
“When dealing with the six Ethereal Stage experts, Cong Shan used power to shake the six’s attack’s momentum while Cong Lin used time to store up the attack as we saw. So the six palm attacks were all guided under the green ripples, turned back at the attackers. So in truth, the six did not lose to the two’s power but their own!”
Han Yunfeng nodded, “But this time, they switched tactics. Cong Shan became more forceful, like an earthquake, while Cong Lin forwent deflecting attacks for dispersion. If Zhuo Fan came at them with force, his attack would be useless, being redirected away from them. This combination is truly a great blend of power and flexibility, covering attack and defense!”
Wen Tao smiled and nodded, “It truly is a pesky little tactic, but do you know why they decided on using it?”
“Fear. Since storing power has its limits. Having not seen Zhuo Fan’s attack, they at least heard of it. So if the power was truly that overwhelming, Cong Lin had no way to contain it, leaving them crushed. To make sure that didn’t happen, he chose to deflect.” Han Yunfeng analyzed.
Wen Tao sneered and nodded, “Right you are. No matter how amazing their skills are, even they pale against relentless force. It depends on Zhuo Fan’s punch and how strong it is. Will he withstand Cong Shan’s brutal attack after Cong Lin’s deflection? By the way, you’ve seen Zhuo Fan’s punch, so what do you think of it?”
“See for yourself!”
The Han brothers returned to the screen.
[Stingy!]
Wen Tao shrugged and kept watching the events unfolding. Cong Shan and Cong Lin were right in Zhuo Fan’s face. The mighty yellow power was seconds away from blasting him, yet Zhuo Fan wasn’t doing anything, just standing there.
The audience was at the edge of their seats for what was about to happen to Zhuo Fan.
[Will, the legend of the darkest horse in history, fizzle out here and now?]
The Cong twins sneered.
[I knew it, the punk was nothing but talk all along. He’s nothing!]
[We are almost upon him, about to rob his life, yet he doesn’t do anything. This proves the rumors were exaggerated. He’s either scared to death or can’t even react. He’s no expert!]
[What expert would just let himself be pushed in a corner anyway?]
While the two were giggling to themselves for having this in the bag, a soft buzzing came, and the two’s scalps tingled for some odd reason.
Hum~
The earth started disintegrating a hundred meters around Zhuo Fan from the high-frequency vibrations. Cong Shan’s yellow attack was just about to strike.
A pity disintegrated the next moment into nothing.
At the same time, Cong Lin’s green light curtain started sporting black lines, running through it like a spiderweb before it collapsed.
The two’s eyes shook, and their hearts fell. They jumped back at once, looking at the still unmoving Zhuo Fan in shock and awe.
They watched as the rest of their attacks crumbled before their eyes. Even before they got out of the hundred-meter range, it had vanished. Moreover…
“Ah!”
Two wails of pain pierced the skies as, in that instant, their attacks fell through. They were also just one moment too late to clear the area. One hand from each of them was chipped away at high speeds before they also vanished.
All that was left behind was blood dripping from the stumps, a testament to the vibrations’ power.
[What the hell was that?]
Sss~
Watching how everything in a hundred meters of Zhuo Fan was pulverized, the audience gasped at the spectacle. Wen Tao and company were even bug-eyed.
Even Exalted Double Dragons’ eyes twitched in amazement.
[Just what is this astonishing martial art? It is beyond belief!]
Zhuo Fan’s right eye flashed with four golden halos, and his mouth perked into a condescending smile, “Divine Eye of the Void’s 4th stage, absolute domain, Space Crusher!”
The twins looked at each other, and their gazes hardened. Zhuo Fan had been keeping to himself to a ridiculous degree.
[Who the hell is he? It’s not just about strength. Just how the hell does he know such baffling skills? ]
Glossing over their obvious shock, Zhuo Fan closed one eye and stopped the attack. His mouth traced a wide, bright smile as he jumped straight for the two.
The twins thought about running away. Zhuo Fan’s left hand turned into a dragon claw as it pursued Cong Lin while his right eye flashed golden twice with Void Annihilation, aiming for Cong Shan.
Cong Lin felt a chill down his spine.
[He’s not just what the rumors painted him, but far more terrifying!]
They had no chance whatsoever.
Though it was a bit late for regrets, they could only choke on it since they bit more than they could chew.
Helpless, Cong Lin had no other choice than to fight, shouting, “Mountain and Forest’s Shadow, the Spreading Forest!”
Hum~
Another ripple traveled from Cong Lin with a green hue.
“Wraith Style’s 2nd move, Ghostly Dragon Claw!”
Zhuo Fan snickered and went straight for it with a grab. However, Ghostly Dragon Claw’s power faded just as the ripple grew unstable.
[How amusing.]
Zhuo Fan smiled and let purple lightning flicker through the claw. As the purple lightning passed, the already strong claw gained an edge.
Crash!
With a huge bang, the green light around Cong Lin’s body was decimated, along with Cong Lin’s frail body.
Blood splattered everywhere, gore squelching as it touched the ground. Zhuo Fan’s claw had turned a human being in a shower of blood and giblets.
“Ah!”
The audience gasped and cried. Ye Lin’s eyes squinted, piqued by the appearance of purple lightning. “I was right, after all. That’s…”
Zhuo Fan stepped again with one down and closed in on Cong Shan.
Watching his brother reduced to fertilizer, Cong Shan was scared out of his mind. But even if he ran, could he escape the likes of Zhuo Fan?
Seeing Zhuo Fan upon him, he could only stake it all!
“Mountain and Forest’s Shadow, the Crushing Mountain!”
Boom!
He pushed out both his palms as he shouted. With a loud rumble, the yellow power rolled forward, like a thousand-meter tall mountain, straight for Zhuo Fan.
Such a blow would render anyone’s body to a pulp.
A shame he wasn’t dealing with just anyone.
In the face of Zhuo Fan and his Soaring Qilin arm famed through the world for its unmatched strength, he might as well be attacking with a toothpick.
Zhuo Fan’s mouth split into a nasty grin. His right hand flashed as he punched.
Boom!
The earthshaking sound came from Zhuo Fan’s sacred arm striking the yellow power the same way towering waves fell upon a sand castle. It crushed it to harmless motes of light.
What came next was a relentless gale that ripped at Cong Shan’s body. His figure was gone and replaced with a red cloud, raining down thick crimson droplets into red rivulets.
It was clear to all this was the miserable ending!
