Chapter 79: Secret Method!
The bald man’s face looked grim, and he remained silent.
On the arena, Fang Yu stared at Xiong Ba Hu with cold eyes and asked, “What martial arts are you practicing?”
Xiong Ba Hu did not respond; instead, he let out a furious roar, unleashing a surge of energy as he charged at Fang Yu.
His muscles were taut, as hard as steel. He could not believe that Fang Yu’s physical strength could surpass his own!
Xiong Ba Hu rushed to Fang Yu’s side and threw a punch.
This punch was also infused with faint purple true qi, its power so strong that the air emitted a sharp whistling sound!
“All show and no substance; your strength hasn’t reached the limits of this body. You will fail.”
Fang Yu’s expression was indifferent as he pushed forward with a palm strike.
This palm strike appeared light and effortless.
Yet to Xiong Ba Hu, it felt as if a massive mountain was crashing toward him!
“This… this is… true qi projection? He is a master!?”
Xiong Ba Hu’s face changed dramatically, and he attempted to retract his punch and retreat.
But his large frame left him no time to evade the force of this palm!
“Bang!”
With a loud crash, Xiong Ba Hu spat out a mouthful of blood, his massive body flying backward like a kite with a severed string, crashing heavily against the ropes at the edge of the arena.
The steel-reinforced ropes were snapped in an instant!
The audience sitting below gasped in shock and quickly scattered to the sides.
“Smash!”
Xiong Ba Hu crashed onto a table, shattering the glass table into pieces!
“What… what kind of strength is this…”
Seeing Xiong Ba Hu sprawled on the ground, the crowd turned their eyes to the expressionless Fang Yu on the arena, their eyes wide open, nearly popping out of their sockets.
They were regulars at this underground fighting arena, and in over two years, it was the first time they had seen Xiong Ba Hu in such a sorry state!
Who exactly was this young man on the arena?
Xiong Ba Hu, now on the ground, was equally horrified.
That strike from Fang Yu was clearly true qi projection!
This seemingly unremarkable young man was actually a martial arts master!?
If Fang Yu truly was a martial arts master, there was no need to continue fighting!
Because in front of a master, the strength he prided himself on was as fragile as paper, easily crushed!
“Damn it! How could they bring me a master-level opponent! I curse them!” Xiong Ba Hu cursed inwardly.
But with so many spectators around, how could he end this?
Xiong Ba Hu was the box office guarantee for this underground fighting arena. If he admitted defeat or was beaten, it would be a devastating blow for both the arena and himself.
With no way out, he could only attempt that one move.
Xiong Ba Hu’s eyes were resolute as he stood up from the floor.
Fang Yu’s eyes flashed with surprise.
It seemed that Xiong Ba Hu’s physique was indeed much stronger than that of an average cultivator.
After standing up, Xiong Ba Hu’s expression turned cold as he began to chant a spell.
Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura erupted from his body.
Those nearby were even knocked off their chairs by this surge of energy.
“Kid, I haven’t used this move in many years. After using it once, I need a long time to recover,” Xiong Ba Hu said coldly.
Fang Yu frowned, sensing that the aura emanating from Xiong Ba Hu felt somewhat familiar.
Xiong Ba Hu took a few steps and leaped onto the arena.
Then, he let out a roar, releasing several strands of faint purple true qi!
These strands of true qi swirled around him.
“Ignite!”
Xiong Ba Hu growled, and the strands of true qi suddenly ignited, transforming into several purple flames!
A cruel smile appeared on Xiong Ba Hu’s face; these purple flames were not ordinary fire. They contained annihilation power, capable of igniting a human body upon contact, turning it to ashes in an instant!
The audience erupted in astonishment.
This was the first time they had witnessed such a dazzling technique.
But at that moment, Fang Yu’s aura suddenly changed!
Before the audience could even feel the heat of the purple flames, they sensed a drastic drop in temperature, as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
Fang Yu looked at Xiong Ba Hu, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent!
Purple Flame Palace!
What Xiong Ba Hu was using was the secret technique of the Purple Flame Palace!
This sect, which Fang Yu had personally eradicated two thousand five hundred years ago, still had lingering remnants!?
How could this be!?
Fang Yu was certain that he had wiped out the entire Purple Flame Palace back then!
But why, after two thousand five hundred years, was there still someone mastering the secret techniques of the Purple Flame Palace!?
Seeing the purple flames reminded Fang Yu of the memories he had sealed away for so long.
His long-suppressed emotions erupted into a torrent of rage and hatred.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
Fang Yu stood still, but a wave of murderous energy radiated from him.
The audience felt the air pressure drop drastically, making it hard to breathe, as if they were about to suffocate.
Xiong Ba Hu’s heart raced, and he pushed his hands forward.
The strands of purple flames surrounding him surged toward Fang Yu!
Fang Yu’s eyes were cold as he reached out with a hand.
In an instant, the strands of purple flames were scattered into the air!
Xiong Ba Hu’s face turned pale.
As a half-step master, condensing these strands of purple flames was already his limit.
Now, he had almost no true qi left in his body.
And the murderous energy and pressure emanating from Fang Yu were nearly suffocating him!
“Run! I must escape!”
Xiong Ba Hu could no longer care about dignity or money.
All he wanted now was to survive!
But as soon as he tried to exert himself, he found he couldn’t move at all!
An invisible force held him down tightly!
“Tell me, where did you learn the secret techniques of the Purple Flame Palace?” Fang Yu walked up to Xiong Ba Hu and asked.
Xiong Ba Hu trembled all over and replied, “I… my master taught me…”
“Who is your master?” Fang Yu asked coldly.
“I… I don’t even know his name. I met him when I was very young and followed him for eight years… then he left, and I never saw him again…” Xiong Ba Hu said, his legs giving way as he knelt on the ground.
“Great master, I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. Please spare me…” Xiong Ba Hu knelt before Fang Yu, bowing his head, then raised it to point at Li Zhengrong and the bald man below the arena, saying, “They gave me a large sum of money to deal with you… I truly meant no offense…”
Fang Yu looked at Li Zhengrong and the bald man.
Upon meeting Fang Yu’s icy gaze, both Li Zhengrong and the bald man trembled.
Li Zhengrong collapsed to the ground, while the bald man stood but had already soaked his pants.
Fang Yu shifted his gaze back to the kneeling Xiong Ba Hu.
He knew that Xiong Ba Hu was likely not lying.
However, for him, anyone who mastered the secret techniques of the Purple Flame Palace must die.
As Xiong Ba Hu bowed his head, he noticed that Fang Yu seemed to be lost in thought.
Gritting his teeth, he steeled himself and gathered the remaining true qi in his dantian into his left fist, suddenly unleashing it!
“Ah!”
Li Xiaomo, who had been watching the situation on the arena, let out a sharp scream.
“Bang!”
Xiong Ba Hu’s left fist struck Fang Yu’s abdomen with a resounding thud that sent chills down everyone’s spine!
However, when Xiong Ba Hu looked up, he found Fang Yu still standing in place, not even taking a step back.
Fang Yu’s expression remained indifferent as he delivered a palm strike to Xiong Ba Hu’s left chest.
“Poof!”
Blood splattered from Xiong Ba Hu’s chest as he widened his eyes in horror, stumbling backward several steps.
The crowd saw that Xiong Ba Hu’s left chest was already stained red.
Xiong Ba Hu retreated to the edge of the arena and then fell off, landing on the ground with a look of shock on his face, his eyes wide open, but his breathing had ceased.
“This… this…”
Seeing this scene, the audience turned pale.
The once-dominant Xiong Ba Hu of the underground fighting arena was dead!
The venue fell into a deathly silence.
No one spoke, nor did anyone dare to speak.
The young man on the arena had effortlessly ended Xiong Ba Hu’s life!
Below the arena, Li Zhengrong and the bald man felt their souls leave their bodies, their courage shattered.
Fang Yu was not human! He was a devil! An untouchable devil!
Li Xiaomo also gazed at Fang Yu’s figure, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement.
The host looked at Fang Yu on the stage, his hand holding the microphone trembling, unable to utter a word.
Fang Yu’s expression remained cold, and the murderous energy around him had yet to dissipate.
Since witnessing the secret techniques of the Purple Flame Palace, his previously steady mind had been thrown into chaos.
His heart was filled with rage, and killing Xiong Ba Hu had not quelled it.
Fang Yu looked down at Li Zhengrong and the bald man, striding toward them.
As Fang Yu approached, both Li Zhengrong and the bald man trembled violently.
The bald man’s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
“Are those two Li Zhengrong and the bald man?”
At that moment, someone recognized them.
As soon as this was said, the expressions of those around changed!
Li Zhengrong and the bald man were notorious big shots in the underground scene of Jianghai City! Who dared to provoke them?
Yet now, both were sprawled on the ground, especially Li Zhengrong, who was weeping uncontrollably, showing none of the demeanor of a big shot!
“Master Fang… please spare my life. I was coerced by Li Zhengrong to deal with you…” the bald man stammered.
