Clang!
Duolun's sword landed on the ground.
Then, like a cannonball, Duolun crashed to the ground with a heavy thud.
The mountains were shaking, and the ground cracked.
Duolun was sent several tens of meters underneath the ground upon the powerful impact.
The crater he had sunken into was so big that it looked like an asteroid had hit it.
Right next to the crater, one could still see the pools of blood Duolun had spat out.
For a moment, deadly silence filled the air.
The trees had stopped swaying, and the clouds of dust gradually settled to the ground.
Along the river, only a slender figure could be seen standing.
The quietness in the area lasted for an unknown period of time.
After that, two people could be heard shouting in despair from afar.
“Duolun!”
“You cruel b*stard! How dare you hit Duolun so hard?”
Haibu and Bapei quickly ran toward their senior.
The two of them were swearing at Ye Fan angrily while digging through the rubble to look for Duolun.
They were right, Ye Fan's attacks had indeed been merciless.
The series of continuous kicks that he delivered were ruthless.
He didn't even give Duolun the time to react.
Every one of those thirteen kicks was fatal.
He had even caused Duolun to lose his grip on the sword.
In fact, that last kick of his was so powerful that he managed to send Duolun tens of meters underground.
Could Duolun still be alive? It's very unlikely he'd still be alive. Haibu and Bapei were on the verge of crying. What a tough life Duolun had lived! He'd trained so hard in solitary, just so he could get to the top of the martial arts world. Who would've thought he'd die just after using a single move?
“You can't die, Duolun. The martial arts world of India hasn't even made its mark yet. In fact, India's mission of becoming a great nation has only gone halfway through. How could you just leave like that? If even you are defeated, there'll be no one else left in Folo Palace who can stand against Chu Tianfan!” Haibu was devastated.
Beside him, Bapei was filled with sadness as well. “Was that really necessary, Duolun? Why did you have to act so tough? Didn't we tell you that Chu Tianfan isn't someone to be taken lightly? You should've just listened to King Folo and asked for backup. That way, we'll be able to attack him all at once.”
The two men were digging through the rubble in despair.
Ye Fan stood tall and looked down at them.
He then uttered flatly, “How long do you plan on hiding down there, you old b*stard? Come on out. I know you won't die so easily.”
His tone was cold and indifferent.
When Haibu and Bapei heard that, they were enraged.
“Shut the hell up! You've already beaten Duolun so badly. What more do you want? Can't you just let the dead be at peace?” Haibu roared.
Boom!
Right after he said that, however, a muffled noise came from under the ground.
The next moment, they felt a sudden surge of energy bursting from within the rubble.
Both Haibu and Bapei failed to see that coming. As a result, they were both sent flying by the burst of energy.
Shortly after, the earth cracked again, and a beast-like figure was seen leaping into the air from underneath.
“D-Duolun!”
“That's Duolun!”
“That's great! Duolun isn't dead! He's alive!”
Haibu and Bapei gazed at the sky and smiled gleefully. They were so emotional that they almost shed tears of joy.
“Shut up, the two of you! You guys are embarrassing me! Did you really think I'd die so easily?” Duolun was furious when he heard how pathetic Haibu and Bapei sounded. I've already been a famous fighter for decades now. How could a brat from China defeat me? There's no way I'm dying in the hands of a b*stard.
After reprimanding Haibu, Duolun stretched out his hand and unleashed a wave of suction energy.
Buzz!
The sword began buzzing.
The sword that had fallen from his grip returned to Duolun.
Duolun stood up again and glared at Ye Fan. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said, “Very well, Chu
Tianfan. You've actually managed to harm me. Not bad! It seems like there's a reason why you were ranked first in the Sky Ranking, after all.”
With that, Duolun's perception of Ye Fan changed.
Prior to that, he had only looked at Ye Fan with disdain and contempt. After that short battle, however, he realized Ye Fan's capabilities. He was starting to get wary of the young man before him.
Nonetheless, Duolun was still confident he could take Ye Fan out.
He continued, “That being said, you shouldn't start celebrating just yet. Based on what I've seen from you, I suggest you concede while you still can and start worshipping me! Your previous move was only half of my true power. If I strike with full force, you'll surely die.” Duolun's cold voice echoed through the land.
Upon hearing that, Ye Fan smiled faintly and answered, “How would you know if I've already used my full force just now?”
