Chapter 460: 460: How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible
Each interaction between their fists felt like two massive boulders colliding, producing a deep, dull sound. Their inner strength surged, and it seemed as if the entire square was vibrating.
Many martial artists witnessing this intense fight for the first time were terrified. Truly, they were witnessing the fearsome battle between the top young talents from the three countries.
Huang Haoshan increasingly felt a growing sense of shock. Despite utilizing his full strength, he was unable to suppress Fang Lin. Fang Lin’s power exceeded his expectations.
The others, too, showed serious concern. People like Zhao Shenji, Chen Wu, and Meng Langtian, who had previously wanted to be the first to challenge Fang Lin, assumed he was an easy target.
Now, it appeared that Fang Lin was not weak at all. The fact that he was fighting toe-to-toe with Huang Haoshan was indeed unexpected.
After all, even if any of them faced Huang Haoshan, none could claim an assured victory. At best, they could only hope to match Fang Lin’s performance.
The angriest person at this moment should be the head of the Huang family, Huang Rulong. He never expected Fang Lin to be so powerful that he could compete with his family’s top young talent, Huang Haoshan, to this extent, a scenario entirely different from his initial prediction.
Bang!!!
Another punch was thrown, forcing Huang Haoshan to retreat. Though Fang Lin also stepped back three paces, he looked calm and composed, showing no signs of being flustered.
Huang Haoshan’s complexion turned sour. Although he had not lost, fighting on equal terms with someone he had always looked down upon was difficult for him to accept.
“I didn’t expect a pill refiner like you to possess such strength. I indeed underestimated you,” Huang Haoshan said with a somber tone.
Fang Lin replied with a faint smile, “Let’s continue, enough with the useless talk.”
Huang Haoshan snorted coldly. In his eyes, Fang Lin’s attitude was extremely arrogant. Immediately, he executed his killing move.
Huang Haoshan suddenly threw a punch, but this punch was completely different.
Upon his fist, a fierce rush of blood energy surged, leaving no escape route within the entire square as the punch was thrown.
“Interesting!” Fang Lin’s face showed a hint of surprise as he muttered to himself.
“Take my punch!” Huang Haoshan roared. His fierce punch was aimed at Fang Lin, seemingly intending to reduce Fang Lin to ashes under this blow.
“This is the Sky-shaking Fist of the Huang Family from Meng Kingdom!”
“What a powerful martial art! It’s incredible!”
“If Fang Lin can’t take it, he’ll lose for sure.”
…
Faced with Huang Haoshan’s overbearing punch, Fang Lin didn’t dare to be careless. The power of this punch was indeed astonishing; just the wind generated by it was enough to cause his cheeks to ache.
At this moment, Fang Lin circulated the Power of Breaking Peak. His whole body radiated a menacing demon qi, making him appear as if he was being shadowed by a phantom Beast of the Breaking Peak.
“What kind of martial art is this?”
“Such intense demon qi. Could it be that Fang Lin has transformed from a demon beast?”
“Idiots! He must have refined the essence of a demon beast’s blood!”
“That’s right, and by the looks of it, it should be a very powerful demon beast!”
…
Seeing that Fang Lin had no reaction, Huang Haoshan still pursued his attack, his Sky-shaking Fist speeding towards Fang Lin without any hindrance.
Fang Lin grinned and countered with a punch. No matter how one would look at it, his punch seemed extremely weak and seemed no match for the Sky-shaking Fist from the Huang Family.
Huang Haoshan burst into a dreadful laugh. He knew his family’s Sky-shaking Fist too well. How could it be easily resisted? Fang Lin’s arrogance would cost him his arms.
However, just as everyone thought Fang Lin was about to suffer a severe blow, their fists collided with a thunderous smack.
The next moment, everyone froze. Especially, the people from Meng Kingdom stood with their mouths agape, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
Fang Lin stood as unshakeable as a mountain, not budging an inch. On the contrary, Huang Haoshan screamed, his arm twisted weirdly as he was knocked off his feet and thrown back.
Splat!!!
Huang Haoshan fell to the ground, his face pale as a sheet. He clutched his right arm, his eyes filled with resentment and shock.
Fang Lin lightly smiled, “It seems I won.”
Huang Haoshan immediately stood and glared at Fang Lin, “It’s not over. I can defeat you with just one hand!”
Fang Lin scoffed, “You were no match for me even with both arms intact. Now, you want to fight me with one broken arm? Do you want to lose the other one too?”
“You!” Huang Haoshan’s face turned extremely ugly. He was on the verge of losing his mind. He couldn’t understand how his full-strength Sky-shaking Fist was ineffective, and instead, his arm was broken from the counter-shock?
Not only was he confused, but everyone else present also felt extremely surprised. Only the group from Qian Country cheered in celebration.
Only Fang Lin knew that he had just activated the divine power of Breaking Peak, inherently reversing Huang Haoshan’s Sky-shaking Fist back on him.
Therefore, Huang Haoshan had his arm broken by his own force. Fang Lin merely acted as a conduit for the force.
“Haoshan, retreat!” Huang Rulong commanded coldly, rebuking Huang Haoshan.
Although Huang Rulong too was discontent, he knew Huang Haoshan, with a broken arm, was no match for Fang Lin, and he wouldn’t be able to challenge anyone from here on.
Huang Haoshan was filled with resentment and frustration. He still had many techniques unutilized, and he always thought he was the sure winner. He never imagined this turn of events.
“Damn it!” In the end, Huang Haoshan had no choice but to withdraw to Meng Kingdom’s side.
As a result, Fang Lin won the round, showcasing his astonishing strength and making those who initially thought of him as an easy target rethink their assumptions.
However, many were still puzzled over how Fang Lin was able to break Huang Haoshan’s arm with a single punch. Could it be that Fang Lin was hiding his true strength, and he was far more formidable than Huang Haoshan?
Not one or two, many were guessing this way, considering the strange happenings during their bout.
Fang Lin dusted off his hands and looked at the people of Yun Country and Meng Kingdom, asking with a smile, “Anyone else want a go?”
No one spoke, no one responded. Even a talent full of confidence like Zhao Shenji had a trace of doubt in his heart.
They were not scared of Fang Lin, but the way Fang Lin defeated Huang Haoshan was too strange. They didn’t have much confidence to deal with it, so they all decided not to challenge Fang Lin for the moment and continued to wait and watch.
Fang Lin looked around, his gaze scanned Zhao Shenji, Chen Wu, and others but they all remained silent.
Fang Lin sighed, “Being invincible is so lonely, so empty.”
“Hehe, you consider yourself invincible, then allow me to see for myself.” Finally, someone stepped out.
