Bam! Bam! - The explosions continued for a few more seconds and nobody knew what to expect.
- Is this guy even alive? Fashur should be punished for this! He had no right to kill, I heard their contract! - Shouted a mature woman from the crowd.
Many were in complete shock at what had been taken away. Almost no one here knew the full background of this fight. They were unhappy that Fashur had broken the terms of the contract. In the Border Beast City, that was an inviolable rule!
None of the spectators believed that Kai could withstand an attack of such strength.....
The explosions slowly began to subside and after a few seconds, the dust and smoke began to disperse. At that moment two figures appeared standing next to each other.
- Jesus... - One of the gawkers said in shock.
At that moment, many had the same opinion. What they were witnessing right now was terrifying.
In fact, the moment Fashur attacked, Kai instantly summoned the maximum amount of Astral Sacrifice Fire and his energy. He also put all of his power into one final strike.
When he saw the power of the approaching attack, he realised that he only had one chance. At that moment, a gigantic release of his power occurred. He pushed himself to the fullest, pushing himself to his limits. Even his blood boiled at that moment.
That was why the audience heard two incredible explosions in the beginning. The first was from Kai, and the second was from the collision of his strength and Fashur's strength.
- Kgaah! - Coughing Kai coughed, spilling a large gulp of blood from his mouth.
He was trying his best to stay conscious. He didn't even look at Fashur, it was enough for him that the next blow didn't come. So his opponent wasn't in the best condition either. He quickly began to examine the state of his body....
"Palms, arms, shoulders and ribs are shattered... The feet are in a similar situation... It seems that all the pressure from that arsehole's blow went to those places. Regeneration is too slow, I think my body is pretty exhausted... Energy is at zero, burns all over my body, I think I'm in critical condition." - Quickly Kai reasoned.
He tried to instantly decide what he should do next. There had to be some way out and alleviate his situation.
"Right!" - Kai thought quickly, and with a trembling hand brought his palm over his mouth.
The next moment, several pills fell out of the ring. They were some of the best specimens Kai had prepared. Although they wouldn't be able to instantly cure him, they would help strengthen his body and restore some energy.
As soon as they fell into his mouth, Kai instantly swallowed them. He immediately felt the energy begin to spread throughout his body and the pain went away. Kai frantically watched as his Energy Vortex replenished. The moment the Shadow Seal began to have enough power, he immediately set about creating it.
Perhaps Fashur would move away from their clash and rush to attack the next moment. Kai was already setting the stage for this situation. But once the seal was formed, Kai finally shifted his gaze to his opponent.
"What the..." - That was the only thought that ran through Kai's mind.
He watched as Fashur stood across from him, with his arms outstretched towards him. Except there were only two bones sticking out of the flesh from his elbows....
Fashur had no arms! They seemed to have been torn apart by a violent explosion, and the flesh was lightning-fast burnt by the Astral Sacrificial Fire!
"It seems I underestimated how much stronger my body has become! If even in its scales, it took such damage... My shattered bones are just flowers!" - Kai thought in shock.
Even Kai was shocked at this moment! Looking at Fashur's face, Kai realised that he was standing unconscious. There were no pupils visible in his eyes, only the whites. But with his perception, Kai felt that he was alive, even though he was in a critical condition.
Realising this, Kai stopped forming the Shadow Seal and decided to save the energy for himself. Now he was also in a critical condition and was struggling to stay on his feet. The boon he felt was that his pills were actually good! His body and energy were recovering, regaining his regenerative abilities.
"What kind of bloodline is that! If I spend a week in a calm environment, I'll recover to my peak! At the same time, I defeated a high stage master of the Cloud Sphere, and he was from the Glory Ranking! Hahaha!" - Laughed in his head Kai, in reality only showing a smile.
- Oh my god, what's going on!!! Look, this guy is smiling! - Suddenly a voice was heard from the crowd.
Many people started to come out of shock. The scene before them made everyone go numb. Even the representatives of Law and Order were in mixed feelings. Although they didn't show it outwardly, they were also shocked inside.
- How did he do that?! What the hell! - Some people started shouting.
At that moment, many of his henchmen ran up to Fashur. They started quickly shoving pills into his mouth and wrapping the rest of his arms around him. All these guys were now in a panic! They didn't realise what to do next. Their Head was now a cripple, and could most likely forget about practising martial arts! Many of them had bad thoughts. What should they do next? They had crossed the path of this demon, wouldn't they be destroyed now? What would happen to the Fury Group?
- The contract has been fulfilled. All the men of my alliance must be returned. - Kai said in a commanding tone.
- ''Y...yes...we dare not violate the laws of the Border Beast City! - Quickly replied one of the men.
They immediately picked up Fashur and started carrying him away from the improvised arena. It was obvious that the members of the Fury Group wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible! In just half a minute, they were gone.
It wasn't from shame, but from the horror of Kai's person. Since he hadn't come out of his fighting mood yet. Kai's murderous aura was suppressing them on instinct. Those blood-red, calm eyes staring at them, caused them to feel primal terror!
Once they were all gone, Kai turned towards the Law and Order representative and said:
- Fashur and I have fulfilled our contract. I'm counting on you next! - When Kai said this, he folded his fist and palm, bowing slightly.
From the side, his movements seemed jagged and jittery. It was obvious that he was also in a critical state. That said, Kai's face did not express a hint of suffering. He continued to act respectful, there was no arrogance in him. Although after such a battle, he had every right to be!
When those watching saw Kai's behaviour, they began to look at him with a different perspective. Martial artists had their own notions of honour and strength. And Kai's behaviour, had aroused the respect of many. First he showed an incredible level of strength and then brushed it off as nothing.
- That's what it means to take criticism and praise equally indifferently... Good master! - One of the old men who was watching the fight praised him.
- I agree with you Brother... Another reason to befriend the Trade and Research Union. Did you see what happened before the final clash? - The old man standing next to me asked enigmatically.
- Yeah... It was Earth Fire and very high class... I know what you're thinking, but we need to check it out. But considering this kid's strength, and only at the Cultivator level... I wouldn't be surprised much.'' - The world is huge and our geniuses are no match for the geniuses of larger forces. There will always be someone higher than you. - Philosophically blurted out the first old man's reply.
In the midst of the discussion, Kai calmly turned round and began to walk towards the Tower of the Source. He decided that he would rest and recover there. Kai didn't want to go back to the headquarters and waste time. He would have to explain everything to Diso. Too much hassle!
"This fight was very useful! I was finally able to understand the limit of my strength... As well as some skill gaps. I can't wait to start training already! Hehe!" - Barely dragging his feet thought Kai.
He was glad that he had found such an opponent. In doing so, he had also ended up removing one of Diso's problems.
- The day had already been very productive! Hahaha! - Kai said to himself and laughed out loud.
