Chapter 48 (2/2)

The fop was battle-seasoned. Even though he felt uneasy, he curbed his thoughts and braced himself to face the fight with all his strength.

Once he gathered all his spirit, his body condition changed.

Every move that the fop made was accompanied by a mysterious power that was like a trap set to capture prey.

After being hit by Ou Yangming, the fop knew that the masked man’s cultivation base was actually lower than his, so he decided to employ this method. It was a brilliant method, but it had a huge loophole, which was he was going to use himself as bait. Furthermore, based on the masked man’s sudden pause earlier, the fop believed that the man could definitely notice the flaw.

Of course, the loophole was not obvious, and it was not going to be constant. It would usually appear after a few breaths, and would disappear in the blink of an eye. It was definitely not there to leave an impression on purpose.

Nevertheless, the fop was unaware that Ou Yangming’s consciousness was already split into two. One was fighting him, whereas the other one was observing like a bystander.

It was a huge advantage because the person closely involved was usually baffled, whereas the onlooker always saw things clearly.

The fop’s actions and intentions could not escape the bystander at all, thus the interlinked traps would not be useful at all.

Ou Yangming moved in line with the fop’s fist force at that moment, and he was so agile that the fop’s violent fist force could not threaten him at all. From time to time, Ou Yangming launched hits that seemed to be hitting nothing, but the fop was forced to retreat as if he was greatly threatened.

Yan Chengcai, Huang Jingtian, and the others were completely bedazzled. The fist technique that they cultivated in the military stressed on one shot one kill, hence they had never seen a graceful yet strange and ever-changing fist art that was extremely mighty. The more they watched, the dizzier they felt.

On the other hand, the two people fighting were walking as if they were on wings, and attacked at the speed of lightning.

Ou Yangming grew happier the more he fought because he benefited a lot from exchanging blows with the skill master. Especially when the fop put in a lot of effort to set up new traps, he was suddenly enlightened. In addition, Ou Yangming also realized that he could control his mental power better the more he fathomed skills.

If the fop knew that Ou Yangming was actually thinking of something else during the intense fight, he would probably vomit blood.

Nonetheless, the fop was becoming more frightened as the fight progressed. In that short period of time, he had performed almost all the skills that he had cultivated for more than ten years, yet he was helpless against the masked man. It would be fine if that was all, but the masked man was starting to attack in a very similar style to his the longer they fought.

The fop suddenly had a strange thought that he was fighting himself, or how could his traps be seen through so easily?

Sure enough, other than the very first amazing punch, he predicted the masked man’s fist art and step technique, but his opponent changed so quickly that he could not find any weak points at all, hence they were in a deadlock.

‘How can I be victorious?’ The fop pondered.

Just as he was feeling troubled, Ou Yangming sighed to himself.

Ou Yangming was certain that he had emptied the fop’s foundations, so he no longer had the desire to let this battle go on any longer.

He s.h.i.+fted his body sideways in a flash, then leaped forward to punch the fop.

The fop followed his plan inflexibly, but just as he was going to dodge the punch, it took a turn to hit his shoulder.

He groaned. The punch obviously did not injure him, but it broke off his step technique, causing him to lose balance.

Ou Yangming showed no mercy, and blasted multiple hits with his fists.

The fop was fearful, so he did everything he could to block, to dodge, or face those fists with his own without caring about the outcome. He did not hesitate at all even if both of them would be defeated.

Unfortunately, Ou Yangming had already seen through his skills, hence his fists either turned halfway or stopped to make a critical hit, and he repeated the process.

All in all, the fop’s movements were already predicted by Ou Yangming, and Ou Yangming was able to counter smoothly with the best move.

Fist after fist, the fop was. .h.i.t. Before long, his handsome face was so badly hit that it swelled and bruised, and his body was full of injuries too.

After some time again, the fop roared. Just as everyone thought that he was going to give everything he had, he swayed and moved backward. Following that, he disappeared under the night sky, and was nowhere to be found.

Yan Chengcai, Huang Jingtian, and the others were stunned for a while before they realized that the fellow had escaped. When they turned to look at the masked man, he was also gone.

They had the same thought as they looked at each other.

Why was the masked man able to hit his target even though his punches seemed normal, yet they could not even touch the fop at all even when they went all-out?

They wondered, ‘Are they even humans…’
