At the same time, Long Chen's right feet landed on the neck of Zhu Lin, stunning him.
The kick was strong enough to make Zhu Lin fly left, crashing on the ground. Since he hadn't expected the attack, he couldn't safeguard himself.
"What?"
"How did he?"
"He didn't even use his hand?"
Long Chen had come out as a clear winner in the first battle. People couldn't believe how fast he was. Without even using his hand, he had brought Zhu Lin to the ground.
Zhu Lin stood up and dusted his clothes while glaring at Long Chen.
"Nice trick. Must say you got me," Zhu Lin said, frowning.
"I have a trick as well. If that's how you want to play, then so be it," he added as he started running around Long Chen in circles.
As he ran, many afterimages appeared behind him but when he stopped, none of the afterimages disappeared.
There were literally tens of Zhu Lin now, all around Long Chen.
"Let's see which one you avoid and which one you don't," All Zhu Lin said at the same time. One of them started running towards Long Chen.
Zhu Lin used the same skill again. And Long Chen disappeared once again as well.
Seeing that, the other Zhu Lin started smiling. It looked like they were successful in fooling Long Chen. They believed that he was going to appear behind the attacking one again. So all the Zhu Lin attacked the surroundings of real Zhu Lin.
Since Long Chen had disappeared, there was no way he could have seen.
Albeit, Long Chen didn't appear behind the attacker. His plan was different.
Instead of appearing behind the attacker, he appeared behind the real Zhu Lin, who was standing in the back. After gaining the Buddha Gaze, such skills were useless against him. They were used by the Immortal Emperor to confuse him as well. Unfortunately, it couldn't affect him.
He knew which Zhu Lin was real and which was fake.
Just like before, his kick landed on the neck of real Zhi Ling, who hadn't expected it even now. The sudden attack came out of nowhere, especially when he was hidden behind his mirages.
This time, the kick landed on the left side of his neck and made him fly right.
"Argh!" He roared in frustration as he fell to the ground again. His body slid far before stopping.
"Come on. You got to try harder," Long Chen said, smiling. He still hasn't moved his hand at all. He was just having some fun.
"This guy… He is a trickster! He isn't fighting like a warrior! He's just using tricks!"
"That's right! He's just using teleportation because he's scared of facing the attacks face to face! He is just a coward! Weren't Demons supposed to be brave and straightforward?"
Seeing Long Chen use the same trick again and again, the youngsters started getting annoyed. They started calling him out for cheating. Unfortunately, Long Chen didn't react.
He didn't care what they said. Only he knew that everyone was fair in love and war. Moreover, he wasn't using these because he was scared. He was just doing it because it was fun for him.
Moreover, he was also trying to upset Zhu Lin to make him show some really strong skills instead of these weak ones. Only when a person was enraged could he go all out.
"Well, I think you're confusing Demons with Heavenly Warriors. He is a Demon. They are supposed to be cruel and scummy who can stoop to any level for victory." Another youngster chimed in. "We can't blame him."
The youngsters continued their discussion while Zhu Chang stood calmly. He wondered what Long Chen was trying to do. No matter what method he used, these tricks were certainly clever. He found them amusing.
These certainly had the potential to annoy the hell out of an enemy.
In the meantime, Zhu Lin stood up again. He was glaring at Long Chen in such anger that it seemed like he was going to eat Long Chen alive. His clothes were covered in dirt, but he didn't care about dust this time.
"Are you going to fight openly or hide behind those tricks? If you're going to do that, why do you even need this training battle? Just keep jumping everywhere!" Zhu Lin yelled.
"Hehehe, aren't you saying that because you can't even touch me? It's alright though. Now that I've had some warm up, I think I'm ready for a hands-on experience." Long Chen said, smiling.
Finally, he brought his hands forward and stopped keeping them hidden behind his back.
Both of his hands were now visible.
"How much time is left in the five minutes?" Long Chen asked Zhu Chang.
"Two minutes," Zhu Chang replied.
"That should be enough," Long Chen said as he gently tapped his feet on the ground and used the same impact to propel his body forward at an even faster speed.
"Now that's what I'm talking about." Zhu Lin clapped his fist, running towards Long Chen. "A direct clash!"
Long Chen had decided to use his brute strength. It was the same for Zhu Lin, who was pleased that Long Chen was finally not hiding! He was attacking straight, and he decided to answer strength with strength.
Reaching Zhu Lin, Long Chen threw a simple punch; however, a dark aura spurred up around his fist, which started shining in dark light that matched his eyes.
He didn't notice it, but that dark aura had a little hint of some of his killing intent that wanted to kill the enemy.
Similarly, Zhu Lin's fist was shining in a golden light.
Boom~
Both the fists clashed, letting out a massive wave of energy that made all the youngsters move back a couple of steps. Only Zhu Chang stood his ground.
The impact of the attack wasn't just that. Zhu Lin felt the true brunt of the attack as he felt like his fist was going to crack. Fortunately, the energy wave also tossed him away before that could happen. He crashed on the ground again, realizing how dangerous the attack was.
He had a feeling that his hand was going to be broken in that attack. He couldn't believe the strength of Long Chen.
He finally understood why Demons were called strong and someone who could stand their grounds against the Heavenly Warriors and Godly Beasts. Long Chen was truly strong!
Even Zhu Chang was slightly stunned at the strength Long Chen had shown. He was especially surprised at the dark aura. There was just something about him that gave him a strange feeling.. He didn't know how he could describe that feeling, but it was odd.
