The hands of Chang Yesheng crackled with an overwhelming surge of Qi, unleashing bolts of lightning into the air.
With lightning speed, he launched an attack on Chao Xiang, aiming a powerful punch at his face as payback for the earlier slap.
However, Chao Xiang effortlessly evaded the blow, as if he predicting the attack pattern and gracefully sidestepping it.
The force of Chang Yesheng's punch caused Chao Xiang's hair to flutter in the wind, but undeterred, Chang Yesheng swiftly swung his arm, channeling even more Qi into his strike.
"....!"
Yet again, Chao Xiang skillfully evaded the attack, swiftly moving his head to the side.
He couldn't believe his eyes, he was so sure that Chao Xiang was only at the third stage of the Watermen's realm now, even when his single punch made contact with him Chao Xiang was dead meat as he said.
But still, he dodged his attack not once but twice.
He was weaker than him in strength, overall Qi control, and Qi capacity, but still, he could evade his attacks.
Is that even possible?
'No, I didn't try my best yet...'
With a newfound determination, Chang Yesheng circulated even more Qi into his every move as attacked Chao Xiang.
Today he is determined to teach him a lesson about what would happen when he messes with the strong.
He assumed the correct fighting stance this time and began executing his moves with incredible speed and force.
Initially, he targeted Chao Xiang's eyes with his right-hand fingers, but Chao Xiang effortlessly dodged it.
Next, he aimed for his head with an elbow strike, which was avoided with a quick side step.
Despite his best efforts, his consecutive punches aimed at Chao Xiang's face were all dodged due to his opponent's remarkable reaction speed.
As a last resort, he decided to use his trump card - the advanced strike he had learned from the sect in town.
"First form of Seven Lightning Cripple Fists: Savage Incisor."
However, before he could even launch the attack, Chao Xiang lightly pushed him back and redirected the punch, narrowly missing his face and only brushing off his hair.
"...!"
Chang Yesheng stumbled and fell on his butt by the momentum of his attack, it was very clear that he didn't master that fist technique yet.
"Oi oi oi! What the hell was that now?!"
"Did you see that? third stage Waterman dodged every attack of seventh stage Waterman with no effort!"
"How did he do that? do you know who is that kid?"
"Did he just dodge Chang Yesheng? For real? he is the disciple from the Hongxiongmen sect!"
"Hey! I knew him. He is that guy who was crippled by the young master of the Yang family, and the former genius and the pride of the Chao family, Chao Xiang!"
"You mean that traitor, who tried to kill his teammate for treasures?!"
"I heard he was crippled with broken spiritual heritage..."
The crowd encircling them suddenly erupted with a murmur, conversing as if they were spectators of a television drama.
While everyone marveled at Chao Xiang's seemingly effortless evasion of each strike, only he knew the perilous proximity of those attacks.
Phew
Wiping a bead of sweat from his brow, he wore a bewildered expression.
The unfolding events took him by surprise; he had anticipated Chang Yesheng retaliating for the earlier slap, but not with such lethal intent.
Even though their quarrel seemed to have ended quickly, there were a lot of moves exchanged within this short moment.
Recalling each attack sent shivers down his spine.
Fortunately, he discovered a new application of the red flame within him this time.
As Chang Yesheng lunged towards him, a burning sensation ignited in the middle of his brow, prompting him to react swiftly.
Despite narrowly avoiding the final strike-through sheer luck, he observed the formidable force generated by Chang Yesheng's movements, compelling him to evade instinctively.
He looked at Chang Yesheng, who appeared stunned as he muttered to himself, "...How?! it's impossible!"
He looks mentally so devastated as observes the surrounding people.
'Is my evasion truly that astonishing to him? Had I not dodged, I would have met my demise... thank goodness, it seems his spiritual energy was exhausted from that attack...'
Shaking his head, he cast a displeased glance at the onlookers.
"What's everyone staring at? Is it really that fascinating to see kids fight like that? Just go and do what you came here for... it's not appropriate for grown-ups to spectate children fighting..."
He sneered at them.
He was truly pissed.
'What kind of world did I reincarnate into?'
Not only these people didn't try to stop them, on the contrary, they were enjoying the show. They were putting an oil on the burning flame, acting like a bunch of children themselves.
No one tried to stop their fight nor prevented them from seriously injuring themselves. For them, it looked like one of their entertainment.
'This is so fuck up...'
As he drove away from the crowd, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him, which made him feel threatened.
"First form of Seven Lightning Cripple Fists: Savage Incisor."
Chang Yesheng, who had fallen to the ground was now standing behind him and swinging his fist.
'What the hell?! Isn't he already exhausted?'
Chao Xiang thought to himself, realizing that he had underestimated his opponent and let his guard down.
Chang Yesheng's fist was only inches away from him, coming at him with tremendous force.
He braced himself, preparing to get knocked out and cursed in his mind for his momentary lapse in judgment.
The attack seemed inevitable, and he could already feel the impact of the blow.
'Damn!'
But just as Chao Xiang resigned himself to his fate, the attack suddenly stopped.
He widened his eyes in shock as he saw why it had stopped.
"Grandma Mu!" he exclaimed, disbelief evident in his voice.
She was the last person he expected to save him. Grandma Mu, the seemingly frail old woman, was standing between him and Chang Yesheng, her hand gripping his opponent's fist.
She struggled to exert her strength properly due to her old age, even though she was at the peak of the Waterman realm, a level that only a few could achieve.
"Who do you think you are causing trouble in front of my shop?" her voice filled with anger.
Chang Yesheng, taken aback by the sudden intervention, stammered, "Y-you old hag-"
Before he could finish his insult, Grandma Mu unleashed a powerful blast of energy, an invisible force that sent Chang Yesheng flying backward.
Even with the power of red flame, he couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
The force of Grandma Mu's attack was beyond anything he had ever experienced.
Chao Xiang stood there, stunned, as Chang Yesheng crashed, leaving a deep dent in the surface of the ground.
