Chapter 53 – In The Nick Of Time (2/2)

Lei Yu was changing his past tactic of not moving and countering, first by modifying his battle stance. The opponent he was facing today was not someone similar to his own strength; he was facing an individual with the power of a late-stage Fifth Order Warrior. If he waited for his opponent to attack first, it’s not certain if he can even block it, let alone counterattack.

Lei Yu’s speed was really fast, with a flash of several steps as if he was the embodiment of lightning, he had arrived in front of Nuo Yi Long. They both threw out a punch at each other.

*Bang Bang!*

As their first travelled through the air, it brought forth the sound of a roaring wind. Their two fists collided at extreme speeds, causing ripples of distorted light. This was Nuo Yi Long using his strength to negate Lei Yu’s power of paralysis.

With more and more number of fists colliding in midair, the surprised expression on Nuo Yi Long’s face was becoming increasingly evident. Lei Yu’s attack speed was very fast – the moment he finished punching, his next punch was already on its way as the process repeated itself. At this time, Nuo Yi Long could only solely concentrate on defense since he was unable to counterattack.

“This kid really has great potential!” Shangguan Xi Hong thought to himself, his head also could not stop nodding. It appears the gift he expended today in return for this good seedling was worth it.

In the training field, Lei Yu’s left fist punched out, while the blur of his kick had already neared Nuo Yi Long’s abdominal area, his leg was like the shadow of a lightning strike. As it got close, Nuo Yi Long threw out a palm strike forcing Lei Yu’s leg to retract. They both felt a numbness come to pass. Nuo Yi Long felt numb because of Lei Yu’s kick contained the lightning paralysis effect, while Lei Yu was slapped by the palm strike; the raw power behind it was like him kicking a solid block of steel. “Ahhhh!” Nuo Yi Long stomped onto the ground and the earth tremored. His eyes glowed red, and his whole body was already in the air, flying in the opposite direction away from Lei Yu. He could not keep entangling himself in the current melee with Lei Yu because he simply could not find a chance to fight back.

Backing away, he once again somersaulted backwards, both hands striking the surface of the ground, allowing him to flip into the air and creating an additional ten plus steps distance between them.

“Peng!”

Lei Yu’s fists became palms, again with lightning speed trying to rush over, but this time, Nuo Yi Long will not give Lei Yu the opportunity. Yellow internal energy suddenly surged, Nuo Yi Long’s face suddenly reddened, focusing his waist as the center, and his back as the pillar, he twisted his waist, his entire body’s strength was almost completely focused into his right fist, enlarging all the muscles in his right fist, veins popping out with a pattern like a slab of granite, the speed was extremely fast, following along a straight line, the attack rushing towards Lei Yu.

“Agh!”

Feeling the incoming fearsome heavy punch, Lei Yu suddenly could not stop his current pace, he could only recklessly continue forward. If this punch landed upon Lei Yu’s head, he would definitely lose the ability to continue fighting.

The situation was at a critical point and he could not worry too much. Lei Yu poured his internal energy into his right arm only to find a bloated feeling from it. “Ahh!” His voice burst out. With his strong power of lightning, he rushed forward to clash with Nuo Yi Long’s super heavy punch. Also at this time, Nuo Yi Long’s fist went slightly off course in an attempt to avoid colliding with Lei Yu’s fist. Cleverly moving half an inch to the left, if Lei Yu continued rushing forward at this trajectory, then Nuo Yi Long’s fist would be the first to reach Lei Yu’s head. Because his physique was more sturdy that Lei Yu’s, and his arm length was also longer, it’s because he saw this minute detail that it was decided that Nuo Yi Long would easily win this competition.

The moment he determined his success in winning easily, everything suddenly changed. In front of Nuo Yi Long’s eyes, he saw a thin purple thread flash and then disappear, and the next moment, his fist involuntarily pulled back, blocking both his eyes tightly. But it appears everything was already too late.
