Chapter 1186 - 1184: Instant Kill the Opponent
Song Wuya of course felt the gazes of everyone turning towards him, a bitter smile appeared on his face. How could he dare not follow the instructions of the ancestor, especially since Lin Feng was an existence surpassing the ancestor, there was even more reason to admit defeat. Because of this matter, the elders below were up in arms, but there was nothing they could do, since the ancestor forbade mentioning Lin Feng’s matter, he could only keep silent. Now his only hope was that the outcome would be just as the ancestor had said.
At this moment, Xia Yuntian and the elders of the Xia Family were even more bewildered, knowing that it was simply impossible for the Song Family to admit defeat directly, as the Song Family, unlike other Prominent Families, values the heart of slaughter, such people would rather die in battle than admit defeat, yet now, in the grand competition, they unexpectedly conceded to the Xia Family voluntarily, this was truly beyond comprehension, they could not figure out why the Song Family would arrange it this way...
Lin Feng at this time let out a smile, in an instant he understood what was going on, it must have been arranged by the elder of the Song Family, but this was good too, saving the children from wasting energy. After the grand competition, he would just need to meet that old man.
Upon seeing Lin Feng’s smile, Xia Lalan also vaguely guessed what was going on. The attitude the elder of the Song Family had towards Lin Feng had already said everything. It made sense for the children of the Song Family to admit defeat now. Thinking that a Prominent Family had now lost its threat made her even happier inside.
Of course, all this happened in a fleeting instant, and the same situation did not occur in the other four Martial Arts Grounds. On those grounds, the children were fighting their opponents very seriously.
"Watch out!"
"Ah!"
"If you’re brave enough, stop dodging!"
...
On the other four Martial Arts Grounds, the children were giving their all, trying to defeat each other. The scenes were extremely intense. The only relatively quick ending was in one of the battles, where the difference in strength between two children was relatively large, while it took a while before results emerged from the other three...
When the first round of competition ended, there were mixed emotions of joy and sadness. The Kong Family’s children had won two battles, the Gu Family’s child had won one battle, the Xia Family’s child had won one battle, and the Song Family’s children had one win and one loss.
Then immediately the second round of competition began. With the call of the examiner, ten more children stepped onto the Martial Arts Platform. In this round, two children from the Xia Family were competing, Xia Hongde and Xia Jiansheng. As soon as Xia Hongde stepped onto the stage, he was provoked by a child from the Kong Family.
"Weren’t you acting all arrogant in the market last time, a group of you ganging up on us? Today, one-on-one, I want to see how you can win against us. Today, I’ll let you understand the true strength of our Kong Family. With you guys, you stand no chance at all. Be smart and surrender quickly, or don’t blame me for not being polite."
Clad in a light grey robe with an appearance of clear brows and bright eyes, Kong Lijie spoke with pride on his face, making very disagreeable remarks. In his view, the children of the Xia Family were only good at group fights. They had suffered from this last time in the market. Although he wasn’t the most powerful in the Kong Family, other than Xia Jianwu and Xia Jianping who were slightly more formidable, the rest were nothing special. He was extremely confident in dealing with them with ease, therefore he saw no need to show any courtesy to his opponent.
"No need to be polite? That’s fine with me, I won’t be polite either." Seeing the opponent’s arrogance, Xia Hongde was speechless, wondering where Kong Lijie got such confidence from. He should know that he was completely different from before, and his strength had increased more than twofold compared to last time in the market. He was confident in dealing with someone like Kong Lijie. Since the other party had spoken, then he too would give him another lesson!
"Since you refuse to repent, let’s get started, and see how I handle you!" Listening to Xia Hongde, Kong Lijie immediately burst into rage, fiercely uttering a sentence, and then immediately erupted in power. Gang Qi enveloped him, creating whirlwinds around, sweeping an area of more than ten meters. When the Gang Qi reached its peak, he suddenly moved, charging towards Xia Hongde like a gust of wind, and threw a punch. This punch, like an imposing tiger descending a mountain, carried the pressure of Gang Qi heading straight for Xia Hongde!
The punch was not to be underestimated; his strength had already reached the later stages of the Mortal Realm, so his fist was enveloped in Gang Qi. It’s not an exaggeration to say that even a boulder could be shattered with this one punch. Kong Lijie had indeed planned just that, acting recklessly in battle, intending to completely disable Xia Hongde to show off in front of the Family Head.
But never in his wildest dreams did he imagine his plan would fall through...
Is that all?
Seeing the opponent’s punch, Xia Hongde immediately laughed. Such a punch was far inferior to Demon Beasts. They could easily slay Demon Beasts in the Transcendent Realm, facing a child like Kong Lijie he really couldn’t muster much interest. Since the opponent had made a move, he wasn’t going to be polite either. Thinking this, the Gang Qi on his body also casually erupted, there was no need to use his full strength to handle Kong Lijie.
In an instant, Xia Hongde also charged forward, but his face always sported a smile, looking utterly relaxed. Seeing Xia Hongde rushing up, Kong Lijie’s face also showed a grin, thinking to himself ’seeking death’, good, he’ll incapacitate this fellow with one punch.
In an instant, Kong Lijie’s Fist Aura burst forth once again above his fist, condensing to the extreme. It was not an exaggeration to say that if this punch were to hit Xia Hongde, Xia Hongde would definitely be in trouble. But that’s only if it could hit Xia Hongde; otherwise, it would be a wasteful expenditure of Gang Qi.
Just as Xia Hongde approached Kong Lijie on horseback, he suddenly dodged with a speed that Kong Lijie couldn’t possibly react to and, in a blink, positioned himself beside Kong Lijie. He then struck with a heavy fist that seemed casual and effortless toward Kong Lijie’s ribs.
The sudden assault threw Kong Lijie into panic. His move was already fully committed, and Xia Hongde’s attack came too swiftly for any chance of altering his own move. Thus, the outcome for Kong Lijie was quite miserable—he was hit by Xia Hongde in a single move.
"Bang! Ah..."
First, a muffled sound was heard, followed by Kong Lijie as he was sent flying upwards, screaming in the air before crash landing dozens of meters away, off the Martial Arts Platform, defeated by Xia Hongde in one move.
How... how is this possible...
Kong Lijie, lying beneath the platform, was completely dumbfounded, at a loss as to how he, being in the late Mortal Realm and ranked fourth in the Kong Family’s youth division, failed to withstand even one move from Xia Hongde—previously an unknown entity incomparable to Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu. After not seeing him for a brief period, how could he have become so formidable, proving to be even more skilled than him by far? It was truly inconceivable how Xia Hongde’s strength had improved so swiftly!
Defeated in one move?
How could this be?
Late Mortal Realm, defeated by a single strike?
...
At this moment, the gazes of others also turned this way, no one anticipating such an outcome. Normally, there are only a few in the late Mortal Realm in a family’s youth group. Yet Kong Lijie from the Kong Family was instantly vanquished by Xia Hongde of the Xia Family. This seemed utterly impossible. Even if Xia Hongde was also in the late Mortal Realm, it was implausible for him to defeat an opponent so rapidly. This raised questions about what had transpired and when the Xia Family’s children had become so powerful!
Little did they know, the Xia Family’s children trained by battling Demon Beasts from the Transcendent Realm and their physical training surpassed that of other children by more than several folds. Thus, in both combat experience and physical prowess, the Xia Family’s children had left the youth of the other three Prominent Families far behind. The fact that Xia Hongde swiftly defeated Kong Lijie was not by chance, but inevitability!
"That’s it? How boring." Xia Hongde himself was momentarily stunned after his punch sent Kong Lijie flying. He knew he could defeat Kong Lijie, but he hadn’t expected to launch him away with a single punch. He thought about how the Kong Family’s children used to be formidable, so why had they become so weak now?
With this in mind, Xia Hongde offhandedly murmured, then turned to leave. Having already defeated his opponent, he had no need to stay. But just as he was about to turn away, a loud noise arose from a distance, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
"Bang! Ah..."
Another figure was seen flying in another Martial Arts Ground; it was Gu Fengliang, who had been fighting against Xia Jiansheng. Under the eyes of the public, he was sent flying off the Martial Arts Platform with a scream, undoubtedly defeated.
This scene left the people of the Kong Family and Gu Family stunned. They knew full well the caliber of their representatives and had not expected them to be swiftly eliminated by the Xia Family’s youth. These were just ordinary members of the Xia Family’s young generation—how was this possible? If the average child was already so formidable, what level of strength would Xia Jianping and Xia Jianwu possess? It was almost too frightening to consider!
So powerful they were...
Song Wuya, witnessing the two matches, was equally astonished by the performance of the Xia Family’s children. He had been skeptical about the Patriarch’s arrangements, but now that he saw this, he understood why the Patriarch had made such decisions. There was no doubt that even the Song Family’s talented youth would have little hope of victory against those two children, and might even get injured. The Patriarch’s strategy was indeed judicious, and those Elders who had opposed within the family should now hold their tongues.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xia Jiansheng walked over to Xia Hongde and, together, the two children returned to the Xia Family’s crowd. This sent the Xia Family’s spectators into ecstatic joy, as they had not expected their young generation’s combat strength to be powerful enough to secure instant victories against their opponents. The sheer delight at this turn of events left them overwhelmed with happiness.
