Chapter 120 - Volume 1 Chapter 120 - The Incredible Defence

At this point, the situation was getting more and more heated. And under the gazes of many onlookers, it finally reached its peak! 

Bang! - There was a loud sound as Fashur pushed himself off the ground and lunged forward. 

Watching this, Kai instantly stepped back with his right foot and crouched down slightly, getting into a stance. In this way he was creating a good foothold for himself. Watching Fashur's movement, he immediately realised that his style would be based on overwhelming force. It was like a beast rushing forward.

Fshuh! - There was a sound like splitting the air, and immediately the next one sounded - Bam!" a thud was heard, as if a huge stone had fallen on the hard ground. 

A moment ago, a heavy fist, clad in a spiked glove, flew straight at Kai's face. Fashur was already anticipating how he would crush his opponent into the ground with the first blow. Even though he knew Kai's cultivation level, he didn't even slightly reduce the force of the strike. It was obvious that Fashur wanted to cripple Kai, with no chance of recovery. But alas, his dreams were not destined to come true. 

Kai instantly crossed his arms in front of his face, taking his opponent's heavy blow. Kai's body didn't even move from the crushing force, but he moved a few metres. 

It was as if he had been moved by the blow. After all, the structures and even the roads in Border Beast City were very strong. If this had happened on normal soil, Kai's feet would have probably sunk a few centimetres into the ground and he would not have been able to move. But on the conventionally smooth road of the city, the pressure from such an impact made him slip.

There were now two black daggers in Kai's palms. After blocking the blow, turning his hands slightly, he instantly slashed them towards his opponent's throat, forcing him to retreat. 

All of this happened in an instant, but it had already caused all the spectators to be surprised. In cultivation, Kai was a whole area below Fashur. But he was able to parry his punch and make him retreat.

- Hehehe. Is that all you can do? So many words, but in the end what? - With a wicked smile, Kai asked with a laugh. 

Feeling that heavy blow, Kai already realised that the fight was not going to be an easy one. It was obvious now that Fashur hadn't even used half of his energy. And he still had a fire attribute based cultivation technique stashed up his sleeve.

"Hmm, he even moved me a bit... I need to be on guard... But goodness, I've had a deadly fight with this type of opponent many times before! Hehe." - Thinking, Kai smiled. 

He recalled that the King of Pain had behaved much the same way in battle. An endless onslaught of blows and overwhelming power. Fashur was something similar in that. But that only made Kai cheer up. He was looking forward to a good fight.

At times like this, Kai was becoming like some kind of maniac. Especially now that the colour of his eyes was very similar to fresh blood. It all gave off a sense of danger and predatory nature. Coupled with Kai's strange energy and killing intent, the aura he was releasing was frightening.

But his opponent wasn't a simpleton either. He was a whole area taller, and his energy seemed unbreakable. And the force with which he was pushing was suffocating.

This fight definitely couldn't be compared to Kai's first fight in Border Beast City. Back then, he had simply taken away the shop of an unscrupulous master by pretending to be an innocent sheep. 

- Puppy, you seem to think too much of yourself after taking a light punch from me. - Fashur said through clenched teeth.

It was obvious that he was very angry right now! He wanted to destroy Kai, trample him into the ground and shatter all his bones. To damage Kai as much as his body would allow, so that he wouldn't die. 

Having said that, Fashur instantly launched a new attack! 

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! - A series of loud blows were heard. Each sound sent out a wave of wind. 

Reacting instantly, Kai was constantly either retreating to block or dodging. So far, he hadn't launched any counterattacks. 

"The power really isn't small, and these gloves are no less dangerous than any other weapon..." - Kai thought quickly, putting up a fierce fight. 

He was now studying all of his opponent's movements and striking patterns. He memorised the speed, force and angles from which the blows came. Kai deliberately did not counterattack, so as not to show his style to his opponent.

Under normal circumstances, an experienced fighter like Fashur would have noticed this immediately and been more cautious. But Kai managed to provoke his opponent's anger, which clouded his mind. In addition, Fashur had greatly underestimated Kai. Each of these points, was also an important part of battle strategy. In a battle, it was not only combat power that mattered, but also brains!

All of the people watching now had very vivid emotions, albeit varied. Some were happy that they got to see such a spectacle, some were gloating and wanted to see the sea of blood, and some were sympathising with Kai. 

Fshuuuh! Bang! - There was the loud sound of impact again. 

But now it was the sound of impact with the ground as Kai dodged and jumped back.

- You're worthless after all... How did you get into the Fame Rankings? Is this a joke? - Kai shouted with a laugh. 

When Fashur heard this, his eyes became even wilder! He clenched his teeth and shouted loudly! 

- Graaaaah! - A furious shout rang out and the amount of energy Fashur was releasing instantly rose! 

It seemed that from this moment onwards, things became much more serious. Seeing this, some people who were standing closer immediately moved a few steps away. Fashur's energy became even denser, it seemed like a rock began to press down on people's shoulders.

"He's more serious now, we need to be more careful. Perhaps his current blows will no longer go so unpunished..." - Thought Kai, increasing his vigilance. 

At that moment, Fashur rushed towards Kai again. He seemed to be much faster and more agile. Expecting such a thing, Kai reassured himself and started to create a Shadow Mark two metres ahead of him. Now he was waiting for the right moment to counterattack. 

- You're fucked, kid! - Fashur shouted, instantly appearing beside Kai and delivering a devastating blow to his face!

- Fshshoo! Bang! - An incredible punch flew straight towards Kai, passing through him and hitting the ground! 

It was a residual image! 

Since Fashur was taller than Kai, his fist flew downwards from above. It was impossible to stop a punch of such power, so after flying through Kai's image, it crashed into the ground.

But what was absolutely amazing was that rubble flew around and dust rose up! Fashur's impact was able to shatter the tiles on the streets of the Border Beast City! 

Seeing this, many people opened their mouths in astonishment! It was a clear demonstration of how powerful this man's punch was... Probably only a few of the people watching could replicate it. And even then, they were most likely old men with profound cultivation...''

The moment it hit the ground, many had one thought, "What about the kid who took it? Is he alive?". But before they could continue their thought, they saw him appear in the air, right behind Fashur's back. 

As soon as Fashur's fist reached the ground, Kai's dagger was already slamming into the big man's back. As he turned round, he struck straight for his opponent's ribs. He had no hope of defeating him with a single blow. But if it penetrated Fashur's lung, it would severely weaken him for the rest of the fight.

But at this moment! 

- Qin! - There was a ringing sound, as if a metal had struck a hard stone.....

Now it was time for Kai himself to be surprised... His dagger bounced off, slashing Fashur's clothes in the process! He saw how his opponent's skin was like hard, cracked earth.

Releasing a huge amount of his energy, Fashur truly displayed the power of his earth attribute! An indestructible defence!
