Chapter 488 - Continued (1/2)

This feeling lasted for less than five seconds before Branh felt his body become weightless.

Finally not being able to hold back his curiosity, he moved his arms slightly and opened his eyes. He was surrounded by the blue sky on every single side.

”Ah, I messed up,” he thought inwardly while peering downwards and noticing what was coming for him.

Branh had covered his eyes from the start so there wasn't much he had seen but from the point of view of the nearby spectators, it was an entirely different situation.

”Clench your teeth,” Hao Xuan had warned in the native language before bending his knees and putting some force on the ground below.

A spiderwebbed crack started spreading outwards with Hao Xuan as the center until he finally pushed. The entire area within 20 meters of him turned to dust. His speed surpassed several times the speed of sound which was why no one heard the explosion until it was too late.

Using a simple movement technique without any Qi, Hao Xuan appeared in front of the 3-meter tall Branh before he could even blink. He was almost twice the size of Hao Xuan but that didn't matter anymore.

Hao Xuan clenched his right fist and threw a single uppercut that connected with Branh's giant elbow. The force behind it was enough to lift the several ton heavy Branh and send him flying straight up into the air.

By the time the spectators saw Hao Xuan, Branh had already broken through the ceiling and flew more than a hundred meters straight up.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Both explosions sounded almost at the same time. First one from Hao Xuan's sprint and the second from his punch.

They covered their faces by pure instinct due to shock while many of the soldiers and some nearby nobles were thrown clear off due to the shockwave generated by their impact.

But they didn't even have time to process any of it when Hao Xuan bent his knees again. Ceni, Iris and Klem's eyes widened all at once as all three of them reached out in unison and created three different barriers around him to block off the shockwave.

*BOOOM*

With a defeaning boom, Hao Xuan shot up like a rocket, destroying the few remaining scraps of the great hall that were left standing.

This was his pure force. Each and every muscle on his body was working overtime. He tore through the atmosphere and arrived next to Branh that had just now started freefalling.

”Oi, clench your jaw, what did I say?” his voice rang in Branh's head who was still reeling from shock. He almost cried out loud but there was no time.
