Chapter 577 Please Let Me Go This Time (Ninth Update)
As Leng Hao dodged away, Yuan Kun’s fist heavily struck toward Leng Hao’s chest, thinking to himself that this punch would surely inflict serious injury on Leng Hao. Once Leng Hao was dealt with, he could turn his full attention to Lin Feng and kill him to vent his anger.
Leng Hao couldn’t dodge in time and took the blow directly to his already guarded chest, but as soon as Yuan Kun made contact, he felt something was incredibly wrong. The hit was soft and lacked power. Conversely, he felt a burst of severe pain on his right leg as Leng Hao, unnoticed, kicked him, using that force to spring backward.
"Bang!"
How... How could this be possible? When did Leng Hao possess such bizarre moves... what in the world was going on?
The scene unfolding before his eyes stunned Yuan Kun; he thought he knew every trick Leng Hao had, never being aware of such strange techniques. This... this was truly unbelievable!
However, power was power. Since it had come to this, he would go all out to finish off Leng Hao. Leng Hao wasn’t as fast, wasn’t as strong, and certainly did not possess the Fist Aura Yuan Kun did, so it was inevitable that Leng Hao would be defeated. With this thought, Yuan Kun threw another heavy punch at Leng Hao, aiming to knock him to the ground with one blow.
"Whoosh!"
This punch, even more ferocious than the last, carried the roaring sound akin to an angry tiger, its trajectory swift as lightning. Yuan Kun was now utterly enraged, desperate to kill Leng Hao and then Lin Feng, as that was the only way to rid himself of all the hatred festering in his heart.
Just as Yuan Kun made his move, that voice reached Leng Hao’s ears once again.
"Dodge to the right, kick his thigh, and use the momentum to get away again."
Leng Hao knew that without following these instructions, with speed and strength inferior to Yuan Kun’s and lacking the formidable Fist Aura, he would surely be wounded. So as soon as he heard the voice, he instinctively followed its command. He had no other choice.
"Bang!"
Without any surprise, Leng Hao was successful again, fiercely kicking Yuan Kun’s left leg, and like a projectile, he shot away from Yuan Kun.
What, this... How is this possible!
Just like the first move, now again; Leng Hao’s movements were too peculiar. Yuan Kun couldn’t understand how Leng Hao was judging his strikes; the speed of that last punch had been his limit, and given his knowledge of Leng Hao, there was no way Leng Hao could have reacted in time. So what was happening here? How had Leng Hao not only evaded his punch but also managed to land a fierce kick on his left leg... this was too inconceivable!
No, he had to take this seriously now. With that thought, Yuan Kun rushed toward Leng Hao again, but this time, he wasn’t as fast as before, and he had learned from his previous mistakes. This time, he stayed cautious, intending to strike when Leng Hao changed his move and take him down with a powerful punch. Having missed twice already, Yuan Kun could no longer afford to underestimate his opponent.
Just as Yuan Kun made his move, that voice echoed in Leng Hao’s ears.
"He’s trying to make you move first, hence the slower speed. Just circle around him; don’t engage directly and force him to reveal a weak spot."
Immediately, Leng Hao did as the voice had suggested in his mind, picking a random direction to dodge without engaging Yuan Kun, firmly intending not to exchange blows.
Yuan Kun had everything planned out perfectly, but Leng Hao simply wouldn’t engage with him, causing Yuan Kun immense frustration. Without increasing his speed and strength, he couldn’t catch Leng Hao, but as soon as he increased his force or pace, he risked Leng Hao exploiting his weak points... This was incredibly vexing. How had Leng Hao suddenly become so formidable? Currently, he, an early AAA-level expert, was unable to get the upper hand over an AA-level peak expert like Leng Hao, which was utterly inconceivable!
Regardless, he had to defeat Leng Hao at all costs. If that meant fighting head-on, then so be it!
With that in mind, Yuan Kun suddenly accelerated, kicking fiercely toward Leng Hao.
"Whoosh!"
This kick was heavy and powerful, its piercing sound leaving no doubt about its strength, targeting Leng Hao who was still dodging.
"Step back to the right, then kick his standing left foot, guard your chest with your hands, and retreat immediately after striking!"
Feeling the cold wind from behind, Leng Hao didn’t think twice and did as the voice instructed. He stepped back to the right, and at that moment, Yuan Kun’s right leg, brushing past Leng Hao’s clothes, flew by. The suddenness of Leng Hao’s action left Yuan Kun no time to change his move, causing him to lurch forward...
"Bang!"
Leng Hao’s right foot struck Yuan Kun’s left fiercely, and then he quickly retreated, protecting his chest with his arms instantly.
"Bang!"
Just as his arms shielded his chest, Yuan Kun’s left fist violently struck Leng Hao’s arms in a swinging punch. However, since Leng Hao was already moving backward and had his arms up in defense, the punch didn’t cause any severe damage. On the contrary, it seemed to assist Leng Hao in getting away!
Seeing this scene, Yuan Kun’s heart was so depressed he couldn’t even describe it. He had never encountered such a bizarre situation before; he, a lofty AAA-ranked master, actually had no way of dealing with an AA-ranked peak fighter like Leng Hao. What’s worse, all his moves seemed to be known to Leng Hao, who deliberately targeted them as if he were willingly part of Leng Hao’s performance—it was utterly inconceivable. How could such a thing exist in this world!
This battle was too frustrating; clearly much stronger than Leng Hao, yet he was utterly unable to handle him. It was truly bizarre; when had Leng Hao learned all this? It simply wasn’t possible!
No, he had to kill Leng Hao today, even if it meant risking everything! With this thought, Yuan Kun’s eyes filled with a sinister light.
But Yuan Kun could never have dreamed that no matter how hard he tried or what methods he used, he couldn’t harm Leng Hao.
"Kick his groin, taking advantage of his left foot leaving the ground."
"Bang!"
"Charge, feint with a straight jab, and when at his side, strike his waist with your left fist."
"Bang!"
"Dodge to the right, hit his left arm joint!"
"Bang!"
"Step back, and smash his right leg fiercely!"
"Bang!"
...
Leng Hao had now reached a state of conditioned reflex; he cast aside all thoughts and, as soon as that voice appeared in his mind, carried out its commands without hesitation...
Yuan Kun was nearly driven to cough up blood by Leng Hao’s infuriating approach; he was completely helpless. On the contrary, every move he made was seized by Leng Hao and met with a heavy punch. The more the fight went on, the more frustrated Yuan Kun became, until he was driven mad, blindly attacking in a frenzy.
...
Time passed, and Leng Hao was now drenched in sweat, while Yuan Kun had become utterly disheveled; his clothes were mostly torn or shattered by Leng Hao’s kicks and punches. Most importantly, Yuan Kun had suffered severe internal injuries in his rage, rapidly losing ground, now completely dominated by Leng Hao!
The madness that initially gripped Yuan Kun had long since faded, and now a flood of emotions filled his heart. He could never have dreamt of being defeated by Leng Hao, and given the current situation, it seemed difficult even to leave this place. He could easily imagine that if he fell into the hands of Leng Hao and Lin Feng, he would be in deep trouble. Hence, his only hope was to escape alive. "Where there is life, there is hope," and one day he would return to crush Leng Hao and Lin Feng beneath his feet.
But... how exactly could he escape from here? Yuan Kun’s thoughts had shifted from killing Leng Hao and Lin Feng to planning his escape. He had no idea that while he was distracted, Lin Feng had already captured his thoughts from his eyes.
"Full force, frontal assault, upper punch to the heart, lower punch to the ’Dantian seven inches’ area!"
Without any hesitation, Leng Hao executed it, putting his full strength into the attack. His fists suddenly exploded with Fist Aura, exuding a lethal determination and a will for decisive battle, roaring like an unleashed dragon towards Yuan Kun with only one goal—one chance—to completely knock down Yuan Kun with these punches!
By the time Yuan Kun heard the sound and came to his senses, it was already too late to dodge. With no other option, he gathered the last of his True Qi to guard the targets of Leng Hao’s punches, trying his best to block them with his hands while his body started to dodge backward...
But while the plan was good, Yuan Kun’s reaction was too slow!
"Bang!"
Yuan Kun was sent flying nearly 10 meters by Leng Hao’s punches before crashing heavily to the ground. The upper punch had fractured his chest bone, and the lower punch had devastated his internal organs!
"Puh!"
Unable to hold it in any longer, Yuan Kun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, creating a large pool in front of him...
...
Seeing Yuan Kun finally down, Leng Hao took a deep breath. He had never imagined he could miraculously defeat Yuan Kun, an early AAA-ranked master—unthinkable. Although the process was arduous, it was definitely worth it. Now that Yuan Kun was seriously injured, the outcome was more than satisfactory.
"Brother... junior brother, please... for the sake of me being your senior brother, let me go this once... I won’t ever come out again," begged Yuan Kun, lying on the ground pleading to Leng Hao, hoping that he could appeal to Leng Hao’s usual kindness and be spared this once, deliberately adopting a pitiful look.
But what Yuan Kun was actually thinking was entirely different. If he could survive and return, he would painstakingly cultivate within his Martial Arts Sect until reaching the peak of AAA-ranked fighters, then he would return to kill Leng Hao and Lin Feng! A gentleman’s revenge was not too late even after ten years! With that in mind, a crafty glint flashed in Yuan Kun’s eyes, brief as the blink of an eye, but what he never dreamed was that this fleeting glimpse would be caught by Lin Feng, sealing his fate.
