LIGHTNOVELONLINE Fist Fight [2]
“I underestimated you.” Lei Tei sighed in disbelief.
The bout which he had thought would’ve been done in two minutes had actually dragged on for more than seven hours!
“Ling Xuan’s stamina and endurance are truly something.” The Elders by now had already accepted their mistake in underestimating Ling Xuan.
The Disciples were nowhere to be found as all of them were made to leave by the Elders after the first two hours had passed.
There were only The Elders, The Sect Master and of course Ling Xuan and Feng Mingyu who were at the precipice of their utmost limits.
Currently, both were at a standstill, their bodies covered in viscous sweat.
Ling Xuan’s metal staff was riddled with cracks, with some pieces having fallen off entirely. Meanwhile, Feng Mingyu’s fists were shredded, with blood trickling down from the torn flesh.
“How long will you keep going Ling Xuan ! Both of our Qi reserves have been completely depleted and our bodies are starting to fail. Soon one of us shall fall before the other ! I suggest you surrender now ! My body will recover from this quite easily but that can’t be said for you.” Feng Mingyu gave his 176th chance to surrender.
Ling Xuan, breathing heavily, replied.
“You know I won’t agree so why ask?”
Feng Mingyu sighed and changed his stance into the offensive.
Ling Xuan also held his staff and adopted an offensive stance.
Both were only fighting without using Qi as although they could absorb some, it would cause more damage than do good for their body.
This made it so that both now only used mortal martial arts.
“Ahhhhhhh !” Feng Mingyu ran towards Ling Xuan with a battle cry and attacked.
Commoners Martial Technique - Flourishing Carp !
Feng Mingyu first delivered a straight punch aimed at Ling Xuan’s face, which he narrowly dodged.
WHOOSH !
Seizing the moment, Feng Mingyu swiftly followed up with an uppercut to Ling Xuan’s chin.
THWACK !
Ling Xuan was thrown back by the uppercut, using the momentum acquired Feng Mingyu launched another attack in the form of a kick to the stomach.
WHOOSH !
As the leg was about to make contact with Ling Xuan, he immediately reacted, blocking it with his damaged staff.
CLANG
A sharp sound rang out as the leg collided with the staff causing even further cracks to appear on the staff.
“Huaaaaaa !” Ling Xuan used his fading strength to push Feng Muying away and end this battle once and for all.
“I only have one chance !” Ling Xuan grimly steadied himself, he knew that all the higher ups of The Sect were watching him so if he blew this then the best case scenario would be to escape this sect.
“Urizen, activate it on my mental command and deactivate immediately after,” Ling Xuan instructed as he slowly walked toward Feng Mingyu.
Although no reply came from the other side, he knew that it was heard.
“What are you trying to do ?” Feng Muying asked as he observed Ling Xuanj slowly approaching him.
"I’m ending this scuffle," Ling Xuan declared, adopting a stance reminiscent of a sprinter poised at the start of a marathon.
All the relaxing Elders were woken up from their reverie when they heard Ling Xuan’s declaration.
“Was he hiding a secret move this entire time ?” One of the Elders asked.
“No, I think the more probable answer is that he wants to intimidate Feng Muying,” Another objected and gave a more plausible answer.
“Perhaps.” The other agreed.
Sect Master Lei Tie was also confused by Ling Xuan’s wording.
“Does he plan to intimidate? Yet that won’t work for Feng Muying, he has gone through the Thundering Refinement.” Lei Tie shook his head.
“Now !” Ling Xuan commanded inwardly and charged forward.
Seeing this Feng Muying, The Elders and Lie Tie all breathed deeply waiting for Ling Xuan’s trump card.
Then they saw it.
Ling Xuan who was charging towards Feng Muying suddenly flickered in and out from their sight.
Everyone was caught off guard, even Lie Tie.
Then the very next moment it occurred.
CRACK
Ling Xuan had taken advantage of the surprise and had broken Feng Muying’s left arm !
“What the !” All were left speechless, yet Ling Xuan was not done yet. He had to imprint an image of his potential and power to all those watching.
“You think your the only one who can throw a lot of punches !” Ling Xuan grinned and spoke to the dazed Feng Muying.
“How did he break my arm ?” That was the only thing which was in Feng Muying’s mind. The fist martial art he had prided himself over was defeated by a clanspawn who was only in the Adept Rank.
“No ! I still have a shot at beating hi-” As Feng Muying tried to comfort himself Ling Xuan began his attack.
He held Feng Muying’s right arm with his left and struck at the elbow joint with his right palm.
CRACK
“Ahhhhh!” Feng Muying screamed in pain.
Even after this Ling Xuan wasn’t finished.
“I had to fight for more than seven hours ! No way will I not let this opportunity go to beat you up !” Ling Xuan smiled.
For the next thirty minutes Feng Muying would be absolutely stomped by Ling Xuan.
The only thing Feng Muying would see was Ling Xuan smiling with his bloody teeth as he delivered one punch after the other.
The Elders seeing the bloody beat up couldn’t do anything but sigh as they watched on.
They could’ve saved Feng Muying but they wouldn't,Ling Xuan knew this fact.
Why? It had a simple answer.
Dignity
The Thunder Law Sect were people that believed that dignity was the most sacred thing, higher than anything else.
They wouldn’t intervene in a bout even if it meant letting their loved one die.
“Muscleheads I say.” Ling Xuan remarked.
—----------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally Ling Xuan prepared his final move.
“Consider it a gift.” Ling Xuan mumbled as he began the Qi Circulation.
He had recovered a lot during the thirty minutes that had elapsed.
Ling Xuan picked up Feng Muying and made him stand.
Next he extended his right hand, bending his fingers a bit.
Finally he took a deep breath and let the Qi agglomerate on his hand.
And then.
BANG !
Feng Muying fell down on the ground, his eyes rolled back.
Ling Xuan looking at Feng Muying's battered body couldn’t help but sigh in relief at the technique's success.
“I’m done people.” Ling Xuan announced and fell down on the ground as well, clearly he had been suppressing his exhaustion.
Immediately all the Elders scrambled to the duo and picked them up to be sent to the infirmary.
Lie Tie watching all of this occur smirked.
“Oh Dragon King, it looks like I was wrong once again.”
