The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 88 Sooner or Later, You're Mine
"Flame Burst Palm!"
Wang Hao thrust his palm out once more, the flame-covered hand heading straight for the sturdy young man.
The sturdy young man narrowed his eyes slightly. The moment Wang Hao attacked, he reacted, pushing off with his legs and darting out like a cheetah. However, he didn't rush towards Wang Hao, but instead evaded the brunt of the attack, flashing to the side.
He had just witnessed the power of the Flame Burst Palm. He knew that with his strength, he couldn't withstand it head-on. He could only rely on constant high-speed movement to dodge and then look for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
That was his plan, and that was what he did. With dodges to the left and feints to the right, Wang Hao couldn't do much about him.
"Humph, you want to wear me down? I'll see who can outlast whom." Because of the difference in cultivation level, Wang Hao's yuanqi reserves were higher than the sturdy young man's. In addition, the young man had to constantly move at high speed, which consumed a lot of yuanqi. Before long, his movements were noticeably less agile than at the beginning.
The two exchanged blows, and the young man was occasionally hit. Although none of the blows were fatal, after a long battle, he increasingly felt his yuanqi flagging.
The young man was panting heavily, but Wang Hao wasn't having an easy time either. Besides, Chen Xiao was silently recovering his injuries beside them. If he continued to be entangled by his opponent, the situation would become greatly unfavorable for Wang Hao.
So, he seized an opportunity, waving his palms with a fierce gust of wind, but his eyes were fixed on the young man's lower body. The young man dodged Wang Hao's hand attacks, not realizing that this was just a feint. He never expected Wang Hao to trip him, completely blocking his path.
With a "thump," the young man was tripped and fell to the ground. Although the trip didn't seriously injure him, he had already exhausted his yuanqi. Once he fell, he no longer had the strength to get up.
Seeing his chance, Wang Hao immediately channeled a large amount of yuanqi into his palm, and said with a sneer, "It's over. All of you, go to hell!"
A ball of extremely solid flames appeared on Wang Hao's palm. Even Little Sixzi, who was far away, felt the heat and the intense killing intent emanating from the flames. But the young man was too weak to dodge and could only close his eyes in despair.
"You're celebrating too early. Don't forget, I'm your opponent!" Just then, a low voice rang out. It was Chen Xiao, who had stood up at some point, standing with a clenched fist. His fist was enveloped in a dazzling yellow light.
"Hmm? This is... a Xuan-level martial skill?" Wang Hao's expression changed drastically. From the density of the yellow light, he could tell that Chen Xiao was definitely using a Xuan-level martial skill. But he couldn't believe that Chen Xiao could master a Xuan-level martial skill in just a few days.
"No, it's just a Huang-level martial skill that's insignificant in your eyes." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xiao's mouth. "But it's enough to deal with you!"
"Six Harmonies Fist, Two Forms Combined!"
What Chen Xiao was using was the martial skill he had comprehended earlier, releasing two fist techniques of the Six Harmonies Fist at the same time. So, Chen Xiao said it was just a Huang-level martial skill, and there was nothing wrong with that.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar rang out, and the world paled in comparison. A ball of yuanqi wrapped in yellow light shot out of Chen Xiao's fist and headed straight for Wang Hao.
Sensing the horror of Chen Xiao's martial skill, Wang Hao couldn't help but twitch his eyes. But what was done could not be undone. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and thrust out the Flame Burst Palm that he had been building up for so long.
As the saying goes, how can a star dare to compete with the sun and moon? Although Wang Hao's Flame Burst Palm was a low-grade Xuan-level martial skill, it was completely outmatched by the Six Harmonies Fist with two forms combined. In an instant, it was swallowed up, and the remaining power of the Six Harmonies Fist struck Wang Hao directly.
With a scream, Wang Hao flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing more than ten meters away. His clothes were torn, his flesh was mangled, and his wide eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.
He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it. He, the number one of the younger generation in Qingyuan City, the pride of Qingyuan City, was actually defeated by the biggest good-for-nothing in Qingyuan City. If this were to spread, how would he have the face to live?
Equally shocked were Little Sixzi and the sturdy young man. They couldn't believe that Chen Xiao, who was only at the second level of Body Refinement, could unleash such a powerful martial skill.
Only Chen Xiao remained calm, as if he had expected this outcome all along. He moved towards Wang Hao step by step. The martial skill he had just unleashed had consumed a lot of yuanqi, and he was now extremely weak.
Although weak, he still had the strength to kill Wang Hao.
Wang Hao looked at Chen Xiao in horror. He could feel the killing intent on Chen Xiao's body. He shrank back in fear, but his injuries were too severe, and he couldn't move at all. He could only wait for death.
At this point, all the pride in Wang Hao had been shattered, leaving only fear and humiliation.
"Let's end this!" Chen Xiao came to Wang Hao and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Stop, you thief!" Just as Chen Xiao was about to make his move, he suddenly heard a roar. Then he felt a huge force coming from behind him. He was at the end of his rope and couldn't resist the force at all, and was knocked to the ground.
Chen Xiao looked up and saw a tall, slender middle-aged man with a fair complexion standing in front of him.
When Wang Hao saw the person who had come, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior. He weakly called out, "Master, save me!"
This person was Wang Hao's master, and also a mentor at the Tian Feng Martial Academy, named Wu Chen.
"Hao'er, what are you doing? You can't even beat a second level Body Refinement trash?" Wu Chen glanced at Wang Hao with dissatisfaction. He was surprised that his beloved disciple could be beaten so badly by a second level Body Refinement practitioner.
"Master, there are two of them, and... this kid's martial skill is a bit strange." Wang Hao tried to defend himself.
"Humph!" Wu Chen snorted angrily. "Don't say any more. You're not as skilled as him, and you have so many excuses."
Hearing his beloved mentor, who usually doted on him, speak like this, a trace of pain flashed in Wang Hao's eyes, and he lowered his head helplessly.
"Boy, your martial skill is very strong!" Having witnessed the power of the martial skill that Chen Xiao had unleashed, Wu Chen was also shocked. However, although he was saying words of praise, his tone didn't sound like he was praising Chen Xiao at all.
As expected, he changed the subject in the next moment and continued, "But it's a pity. You hurt my disciple, and I will definitely make you pay the price!"
