Chapter 10 (2/2)
Lu Ting subconsciously opened his mouth until he realized it was a set-up. He was irritated to the point of murder, so he suddenly swung his palm at Lin Xun, trying to grasp his shoulder.
“You damn thing, you want to do this the hard way, then I will show you what I am capable of!”
He made the move so unexpected that it looked like a goshawk hunting a hare. His attack was fast, accurate and relentless. If he succeeded, he would have crushed Lin Xun’s bones.
Without delay, Lin Xun lowered his shoulder, tapped the ground with the tip of his toes to step back and foiled the attack with ease. There was still a smile on his lips, yet it turned a bit cold.
“It seems my arrival makes you guys uncomfortable, which makes me wonder, could it be that you are plotting something behind and are afraid to be discovered by me, so you are here to test me?”
Lu Ting was shocked. How could the young boy see right through their plan?
“Nonsense, little creature!”
He shouted, and suddenly changed the palm into a fist. In the meanwhile, he twisted his waist and moved his legs to a bow stance. His fist was like the rolling thunder and a strong wind, making the air scream.
It was the Force to Doom Armies, one of the moves of the Marching Boxing.
Unlike the children practicing during the day, this attacker, whose fist was humming as it was boosted by copious spiritual energy, could smash a giant rock of 1000 juns (“jun” is an ancient measuring unit in China, equaling to 15 kilos) and rip up a tiger with bare hand.
To do this, he must have reached Inner Strong, the second level of Martial Realm.
Spinning like a top, Lin Xun dodged the attack effortlessly once again.
“What?”
After his two attacks were fended off, Lu Ting instantly realized, this young boy in front of him, who looked thin and fragile, was not as simple as a spiritual apprentice.
“You little thing sure enough did not tell the whole story, just as Captain Lian expected. You must have some hidden agendas in Feiyun.”
This time, he jumped at Lin Xun, with the intent to kill.
One by one, he attacked with the eight killing moves of the Marching Boxing –FTDA (force to doom armies), WDPD (white-dragon to penetrate defense), TRRE (tiger roar to repulse the enemy), ICRA (iron-chain to resist attack), RTSM (ridge to suppress the moon), FTSH (flames to scorch the heaven), WTRM (waves to raze the mountain) and BTTH (battle through the heaven).
His fists, like two shining spears ringing in a bloody battle, looked ferocious and scary.
However, no matter how fast and fiercely he attacked, he was unable to touch Lin Xun’s clothing, let alone hurt him.
Lin Xun twisted, turned and ran swiftly with the only intention to duck the attack. It was nearly unbelievable that he could manage to succeed in the last minute every time.
The two of them kept doing this for a while. Although Lin Xun was not injured, the courtyard that had been cleaned and repaired was completely destroyed. The ground was broken, and the soil was all over the place.
On the contrary, Lu Ting was both surprised and raged. The fact that he couldn’t defeat a 12 or 13-year-old boy made him dare not to believe.
“You little thing, get ready to die!”
As Lin Xun was forced into a corner, Lu Ting growled, and smashed his fists at Lin Xun, swiftly and violently like the rolling thunder.
Watching the fists coming right at his face, Lin Xun decided to fight back for the first time, and the usual smile was back on his lips.
He made his move simultaneously.
He clenched his right hand into a fist, and then he bent his arm, tightened his waist and turned to a bow stance, all of which were done in a blink of eyes.
Bang!
He threw out his right fist.
