Chapter 58 - Famous In Jiang Bei (2/2)

Lin Hu shouted, and his attack was halted cold in its tracks.

Lin Hu stumbled but managed to stand up. When everyone had seen the damage done by Chen Fan, they gasped.

On Lin Hu’s body was a large wound that opened up his chest. The wound was so deep that one could see the white rib bones.

Chen Fan was able to devastate his opponent with only a gentle sweep of fingers. If he had used a fist or a palm strike, Lin Hu might as well be dead by now.

“He is too powerful.

“Pull back; I need to get out of here.”

Lin Hu could only think of escaping; time is running out. Ever since he became a martial artist, he had never met anyone this powerful. Let it be the Sky Hammer or the Humble Cloud hand; he could not withstand the power in either of them.

Desperate, he channeled out his last remaining energy and started the water walking secret art to help him run away.

He turned on his heels and ran toward the lake.

Lin Hu’s plan was simple: get to the lake first. If Chen Fan happened to be able to walk on water as well, he would have to deal with him then. But now, the lake was his only hope.

In a blink, Lin Hu had arrived at the lakesh.o.r.e, and when one of his feet touched the water surface, he nearly let out a sigh of relief. However, a booming voice came from behind.

“Third form: Void Dimension Shockwave!”

Everyone watched as Chen Fan closed his fingers, and with a great measure of levity, he threw a punch at the air. His movement seemed almost lazy.

No one felt anything after Chen Fan’s punch; not even the air was stirred.

However, far away from the stage, Lin Hu’s body trembled, and his back was dealt a blow. The force in the blow rippled through his body from the back as a fist-sized relief suddenly burgeoned on Lin Hu’s chest. He wished to take another step, but his feet were too heavy. After a few seconds, Lin Hu finally collapsed to the ground.

Chen Fan had dealt a solid blow to his opponent at a few dozen paces.

“The Hundred Paces Fist of Immortals?”

Fourth Uncle gasped as he jumped out of his seat.

This was the staple technique of a Transcendent Master! None of the previous techniques, let it the Thousand Trickeries or the Sky Hammer, had directly unleashed the Internal Force without any aid like the Chen Fan’s last attack. Therefore, only the last blow was the true indicator of Chen Fan’s power.

Only a Transcendent Master could kill from a hundred paces away, and he could do it as quietly as a ghost.

Lin Hu managed to push himself to his feet, trembling. He smiled wryly and asked:

“What kind of technique is it call?”

“The first three forms of the True Martial Thirty-Six Forms.”

Chen Fan gathered himself and said lightly, “I have prepared seven forms thinking that I will fight your teacher. What a shame that I couldn’t show you the rest four I have prepared. ”

“Hehe, the True Martial Thirty-Six Forms? Is it an art of the Immortals?” Lin Hu’s voice was waning.

“I have been wrong from the outset. How could I fail to see that Master Chen was a Grand Master of Martial Arts? I thank you for opening my eyes to the real power…”

Lin Hu’s feeble voice faded, and he collapsed to the ground again. This time, he didn’t get up.

A renowned fighter and businessman, the confidant and disciple of Lei Qianjue was finally defeated.

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and asked lightly:

“Is there anyone else that wants to try me?”

The field suddenly became pin-drop quiet.

The audience and businessmen alike kept their silence.

Chen Fan had pulled the rug from under everyone by defeating Lin Hu in less than ten minutes. However powerful and mighty was Lin Hu, he was no match against Chen Fan’s G.o.d-like abilities.

Chen Fan’s power didn’t belong to a mortal.

Chen Fan’s casualness and levity had also added into the theatrical effect when he defeated Lin Hu — making his power all the more terrifying to the audience.

Yang Li and the people around her gaped at Chen Fan incredulously.

A’Xiu covered her mouth and looked at the stage with joy and disbelief.

Miss Lu was shocked by the development. This was the first time she had misjudged the power of a fighter. She felt ashamed for being shortsighted at the beginning of the match.

Brother Zhang’s eyes were filled with regret as he lamented his foolish thoughts earlier.

Xin Zhong collapsed in his chair, and despair was written all over his face. If Master Chen were able to defeat his champion, he could dominate the stage for the rest of the event.

A broad smile broke over Zhou Tianhao’s face. He hadn’t felt so relieved for a long time.

“Master Chen… Master Chen Fan

“No wonder you didn’t listen to Master Gu’s warning.”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t care for money nor power either. As you said, you can overcome any problem with a sweep of your blade. I didn’t believe you, but now I do.”

Xu Ao watched the boy and recalled their conversation by the Yan Gui Lake. He had thought the boy was unbearably arrogant; now the joke was on him.

He knew from that moment that the boy was going to be a dominating figure in the entire Jiang Bei region if not in the Hu Dong Province.

Most importantly of all, Xu Ao could stop hoping that he could bend the boy’s will to work for him.
