Chapter 1250 - 553: Fiery Flame Palm_2
"This guy... is doomed!"
Song Xi felt somewhat unsatisfied, but she could barely accept this outcome.
At least, her brother stood up for her!
This grievance, she could reluctantly consider relieved.
"Two."
The countdown continued, and Song Zhenrong even deliberately slowed down his tone, seemingly wanting Fang Yu to be fully prepared before he made his move.
This act showcased Song Zhenrong’s composure to its fullest and also represented Song Zhenrong’s respect for Fang Yu — the respect for the soon-to-be-deceased.
That’s right, in Song Zhenrong’s view, Fang Yu couldn’t withstand this strike.
Because even among martial artists of the same level, there weren’t many who could endure this move.
If Fang Yu really could endure it, then, both emotionally and rationally, it would be a sign of respect for Fang Yu’s strength, and also a promise to let Fang Yu leave.
"One."
The final countdown fell, and the atmosphere reached its peak in that instant.
Everyone’s attention was drawn to the center of the inn, where Fang Yu and Song Zhenrong were, so no one noticed that the old sick man, Humblebane Plague, was quietly sneaking towards the corner where the prisoners were guarded.
"Master!"
Zhao Wutian was filled with excitement, and Brother Tian and the others, who were waiting for their chance, had their eyes light up as they saw Humblebane Plague sneaking over.
The opportunity they had been waiting for seemed to have suddenly come to them!
Boom!!
"Take this!!!"
The airflow behind suddenly exploded, and with Song Zhenrong’s sudden roar, even Humblebane Plague, who was sneaking over to rescue someone, couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the battlefield over there.
Rumble!
The scorching heat wave swept madly around as if compressing the air.
And Song Zhenrong’s Fiery Flame Palm, at the moment it was released, caused the surrounding air to ignite as if it were exploding spontaneously!
As the palm was pushed out, wherever it passed, it exploded continuously like a bomb!
During the interweaving hot wind and heat waves, the scorching Fiery Flame Palm, representing Song Zhenrong’s strongest technique, was already attacking Fang Yu’s face!
When an expert makes a move, you can tell immediately!
In just a moment, Fang Yu immediately sensed that this palm contained a massive amount of [Qi].
This was a move similar to a Qi Explosion, harnessing the power of [Qi] to its fullest as a Qi Force level technique!
Fang Yu didn’t understand how this move balanced the proportion of Qi Force and technique.
Yet, this explosive effect was concentrated onto the palm, and as the palm pushed forward, the airflow allowed a bit of this power to leak out.
But just this shred of leakage caused the air to ignite and explode instantly, creating a powerful thrust and explosive force.
This move was exquisite.
At least, from Fang Yu’s perspective, its intricacy surpassed the Qi Explosion technique.
The Qi Explosion was a Qi Force technique devised behind closed doors by Yuan Hongxin, and he simulated it forcefully without Yuan Hongxin’s guidance. It’s hard to say how much of the original version remained with each attempt.
Like Fang Yu now, finding it difficult to further improve the Qi Explosion, as he had lost the direction in crossing the river by feeling for stones.
Yet, upon suddenly seeing Song Zhenrong execute such a sophisticated Qi Force move, a flash of inspiration sparked in Fang Yu’s mind.
But it vanished instantly, as Song Zhenrong’s Fiery Flame Palm was already nearing him!
The air before him shattered, and throughout the intertwined hot winds, Song Zhenrong’s Fiery Flame Palm seemed to push forward in three segments, each approach bringing a more intense explosion, and at the nearest point, the explosion abruptly peaked. Propelled by the Qi wave, the last bit of distance was instantly covered as if the palm had teleported right in front of Fang Yu!
So fast!
Fortunately, Fang Yu had prepared, stepping back a half-step for space, while his right arm rapidly raised and clenched into a fist. Bone dust sprayed out like liquid and then retracted, fully covering the right fist...
Bang!!!
Fang Yu’s fist directly clashed head-on with the Fiery Flame Palm.
The terrifying Qi wave exploded instantly at the moment of collision, raging all around.
The nearby tables, chairs, wood chips, and debris were all sent flying and smashed against the walls, shattering into pieces.
The surrounding people, not anticipating such intensity from the duel, either ducked quickly or hid behind cover to avoid the aftershock.
In fact, they hadn’t clearly seen what had transpired at the battlefield’s center.
Because it was fast.
Everything happened too fast!
In Fang Yu’s eyes, he could analyze the moves, break down the actions, and even make conscious preparations with small steps like these.
But from the others’ perspectives, it was over in an instant.
In an instant, Song Zhenrong charged forward, and then a terrifying wave surged out of nowhere.
No one knew the outcome of the clash.
From the intense Qi wave reactions on the scene, Captain Song... perhaps, encountered a tough opponent?
As the heat wave slowly subsided and the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, Song Xi was the first to check on the battlefield situation.
She saw two figures, facing each other with a certain distance between them, staring each other down.
Song Xi first checked her brother’s condition.
That reddened hand had swiftly returned to a normal appearance, but vaguely, she noticed that his hand seemed to be trembling slightly?
The discovery left Song Xi in disbelief.
How could it be possible for someone to make her brother falter!!
Momentarily stunned, she immediately looked toward that detestable fellow!
From the marks on the ground, it was clear that the detestable fellow had been forced back several meters, leaving a trail between them.
And observing the detestable fellow’s face closely.
The white bone mask previously covering it had dissolved into powder, crumbling and sliding down from his face.
The face is unharmed?!
How is that possible! That was her brother’s Fiery Flame Palm!
Song Xi quickly checked other parts of the guy’s body and then felt slightly assured.
The right hand, clenched into a fist, was nearly entirely charred, emitting a burnt smell!
"Ruined!"
Song Xi’s eyes lit up with joy.
"His right hand is crippled!"
For a martial artist, losing one hand is almost losing half their capability.
Without the help of the Divine Doctor, his future path in martial arts is essentially over.
"Serves him right!"
Song Xi’s expression was twisted with glee, the arrogance in her stance almost defying anyone to raise their head against her.
This is my brother’s strength, and this is the consequence of provoking me!!
With the martial path cut off, his strength will only continue to decline in the days to come.
No need for my brother to make another move; once your strength declines to a certain degree, I’ll personally come to torment you again!
Song Xi could almost envision the delightful scene already.
In this way, the guy’s current state played right into her hands, allowing her to personally avenge the disfigurement he caused!
Song Xi’s face contorted, feeling that her brother did exceptionally well, delivering the perfect amount of power for the situation at hand, almost as if custom-tailored for her.
As expected, her brother loved her the most!
Song Xi looked at her brother Song Zhenrong with not just full admiration but also a hint of complex, inexplicable affection, unknown to anyone else.
And at this moment, Song Zhenrong spoke.
"Excellent skill."
His right hand no longer trembled, but the sensation and feedback from that head-on clash left his heart still palpitating.
Very strong!
This was Song Zhenrong’s evaluation of Fang Yu.
Strong enough to fight me head-on!
This was Song Zhenrong’s emotion after fully savoring the aftertaste of the battle.
Fang Yu slightly shook his charred right hand as well.
As if flicking off the dust stuck to his hand.
Black powder fell away in large chunks.
And the skin of Fang Yu’s right hand underneath, as the charred material fell, revealed fresh, white flesh.
In an instant, Song Xi’s eyes widened directly.
"Your, your hand is okay??!!"
She almost screeched in disbelief.
