Chapter 533 - Defeated After One Punch (2/2)
Lose pebbles flew off of the rock like a spray of bullets. One such pebble even penetrated a Grandmaster’s Four True Righteousness Protective Qi and killed the Grandmaster on the spot.
Meanwhile, Lin Shuming was forced to back off. His body darted backward with lightning speed near the surface of the water.
He rammed through numerous objects; boulders, dikes, railings, just to name a few.
He also grazed a few bystanders, killing them there and then. Lin Shuming didn’t stop until he was a few hundred meters inland where he could dig his toes into the dirt to slow him down.
“Come again!”
Chen Fan’s spirit was heightened as blood boiled in his vein.
He flashed out of view and reappeared a few hundred meters in the air right above Lin Shuming. Lin Shuming wore the same stoic expression and brought his sword around to block the attack.
“Boom!”
The impact hurled Fist Qi and Blade Aura in all directions, hitting and killing many audiences.
“Let’s get out of here!”
“Holy s.h.i.+t! They are beasts!”
“We will have to stand at the very least a thousand meters away from them to be safe.”
The audiences pulled further back toward the inland.
When they finally felt safe, they were so far away from the battle that they could no longer see Chen Fan and Lin Shuming. Instead, they could only recognize two glowing lights, one azure and the other white, flying back and forth in the air, crossing each other’s paths. That being said, the destructive energy from the battle was still palpable at such great distance as they toppled trees and highway signs around the audiences.
Red Sparrow heaved a sigh of relief.
Luckily, she had the foresight to cordon off a section of the highway ahead of time. Otherwise, more innocent lives would be lost as collateral damage.
“So this is the power of an Immortal State Warrior?”
Fang Qiong and An Ya were both stunned.
It was the first time they saw Chen Fan use his full power.
His overbearing dominance and divine indifference had taken the girls by surprise.
“No wonder Xiao Fan never seemed to care about wealth and fame. Why would he if he has such incredible power at his disposal?” Fang Qiong exclaimed in her mind. Her admiration for Chen Fan also gave her a sense of unworthiness.
Meanwhile, A’Xiu and Yu Wenjin looked at the battle nervously.
“Teach that old Curmudgeon a lesson, master!”
The two combatants fought on the sea, in the air, and then on the ground. The world was their stage, and the sky was the limit. So far, Chen Fan had an upper hand in the battle, and he pinned Lin Shuming under his boots.
Bang!
The white glow bounced back and plummeted into the sea after another impact, kicking up waves that were over ten meters tall.
“Lin Shuming, stop holding back your power. I know you are better than this!”
Chen Fan floated in the air haughtily as lights flickered in his eyes.
“Very well then.”
A ray of intense light beamed up from under the sea, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Shuming appeared in the air. His clothes were in tatters, and his face was expressionless.
“The Sword Cultivation I practiced is called the Sword Sutra of Haoran. It was created by an ancient Sword Sage who had reached enlightenment through his study of Confucianism. The teaching of Confucius was entrenched in the Sword Sutra of Haoran and only a fellow student of the holy man could master the art,” Lin Shuming said candidly.
The timbre of his voice had an unyielding quality that befitted a Sword Immortal.
Clank!
Lin Shuming darted forward, transforming his body into a streak of Blade Qi. The path of the Blade Qi was unpredictable; its intent was lethal. As it plummeted toward Chen Fan, the intensity of the Blade Qi multiplied with an unprecedented degree.
“Art of Qi Sword!”
Prior to this point, Lin Shuming had been holding back his real power and concealed his most deadly Sword Art.
This was the Sword Art that marked his entry to the realm of Immortal Cultivation.
“Perfect!”
Chen Fan’s black hair flowed in the wind as he punched again.
His punch seemed ordinary but something about it had stunned all the Immortal State Warriors.
Chen Fan’s technique had no official name, and if one really wanted to give it a name, it could be called “Dao Fist”.
Dao was the absolute principle underlying the universe. Therefore, even a fraction of its power was enough to shatter realms and defy reality.
Tried as he might, Lin Shuming’s sophisticated sword arts were unable to defend him against the raw power of the absolute force in the universe.
Bang!
Lin Shuming’s sword was knocked out of his hand while his body was sent flying before plummeting into the sea.
“Is Lin Shuming defeated?”
Everyone was stunned by the turn of the event.
