Chapter 20: A Shocking Turn of Events

He got busted!
Su Jingxing was caught off guard.
How did the young man spot him in his hiding spot from a dozen of meters away?
Su Jingxing had spectated purely out of curiosity.
He didn’t think the young man would be able to detect his presence while in combat.
Is his martial art actually stronger than I expected?
To be clear, Su Jingxing wasn’t afraid. From the fact that the young man and the others had spent a great deal of time to finish off the burly man, it was evident that their cultivation realms weren’t high.
The young man who was calling the shots was probably an eighth-grade martial artist, or seventh-grade at best.
Against a seventh-grade martial artist, even if Su Jingxing couldn’t win, he should be able to retreat with relative ease.
Had it been a sixth-grade—or fifth-grade expert—he would have made a run for it as soon as he saw them.
Unafraid and confident in his own abilities, Su Jingxing had decided to hide in the corner to watch the whole thing.
Now that he was discovered, he was completely bewildered.
Revealing himself and having a chat with the young man wasn’t that big of a deal.
But was it really necessary?
Just as Su Jingxing was hesitating, something shockingly unexpected happened.
Boom!
The dead burly man sprang to his feet, aimed at the two men who were standing the closest to him, and slammed his plantain-fan-sized hands at them.
Bam! Bam!
Blood splattered out through cracked skulls.
The heads of the two men had burst apart!
“Watch out!”
“What the heck?”
“Kill him!”
The others were taken by surprise.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, they all sprang into action and began a joint attack on the burly man.
“How is this possible?!” murmured the young man, as he turned around and stared at the burly man with bewildered eyes. He no longer had time to deal with Su Jingxing.
“Everyone, get him! Don’t show any mercy and aim for the head!” commanded the young man as he took the lead and charged at the burly man.
Seeing this, the others gritted their teeth and followed suit, launching an all-around attack on the burly man.
Su Jingxing gazed from afar, shocked and confused at the same time.
He wasn’t dead?
That big fella is still alive?
The young man’s final palm should have been powerful enough to shatter his heart.
But instead of dying, the burly man seemed to have become even stronger.
The burly man who had been at an obvious disadvantage—and should have been killed—was now demonstrating terrifying power.
His defense had become more solid, and blades and daggers couldn’t even leave a mark on him.
His plantain-fan-sized hands seemed to be drawing power from an endless fountain.
His hands cracked through the air like a whip.
Even his movements were faster than before.
At this point, only a few of the young man’s fighters could keep up with the burly man’s pace. The rest of them were as good as dummies. Not only could they not contribute to the fight, the burly man was making quick work out of them, shattering their rib cages and smashing in their skulls.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The dull, explosion-like sounds persisted.
Soon, the action began to slow down. The young man was still duking it out with the burly man. He was the last survivor in his group.
The burly man persistently attacked with crazed ferocity, while the young man kept evading and moving backward.
As for the direction of retreat… he was moving towards Su Jingxing’s hiding place!
Trying to lure the menace to me?
Su Jingxing sneered internally when he realized the young man’s intentions.
Once the distance between the three of them decreased, Su Jingxing could see the two men’s faces clearly.
There was nothing noteworthy about the young man, but the burly man—his mouth had been sewn shut!
“No wonder he never made a sound.”
A gleam flashed across Su Jingxing’s eyes. He stood up and prepared to leave.
Just then—
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded through the air.
The burly man, who was still hot on the young man’s heels and throwing out attacks, seemed to have been enraged. With a sudden acceleration, he charged and crashed into the young man.
Instantly, the young man was propelled into the air as though hit by a zooming car.
Before he even landed on the ground, the burly man had caught up and grabbed him by the feet at lightning speed.
As soon as his hands latched on, he swung the young man into the ground with all his might.
Bam!
The ground gave a little shake, and cracks began branching out from the spot where the young man had been nailed into the ground. Not a single bone in him managed to stay intact. The only part of him that was above ground level was his legs, from calves to toes, still tightly within the burly man’s grasp.
What speed!
His movements were too quick!
And it wasn’t just that; he was a complete savage too!
The young man didn’t even have time to let loose a scream before dying immediately to the impact. He wasn’t even granted a full corpse.
The burly man’s cruel methods, emotionless face, and bloodthirsty eyes were reminiscent of a killing machine.
A machine?
The thought suddenly came across Su Jingxing after witnessing the entire process.
Just as he was about to retreat, the burly man, who was more than ten meters away, made his move.
Swish! Swish!
He produced a whooshing sound as he zoomed forward.
Suddenly, the burly man threw the young man’s severed feet, still connected up to his calves, at Su Jingxing.
At the same time, he continued charging at Su Jingxing, his massive body roaring like a train.
How fast!
That was Su Jingxing’s first thought.
I can’t dodge it in time!
This was Su Jingxing’s second thought.
Once the two thoughts flashed across his mind, Su Jingxing acted at once. Instead of retreating, he faced his enemy.
If flight wasn’t an option, then his only choice was to fight!
At that moment, Su Jingxing’s mind was clearer than ever. He executed the Seven Steps Fist without any reservation, delivering the full might of 5000 catties of strength through his punch.
Bam! Bam!
His fists met the young man’s severed calves, causing them to burst into bits.
Slithering, Su Jingxing advanced.
One step, two, three…
At his fifth step, he was right about to collide with the burly man.
In the blink of an eye, with 5000 catties of strength in each hand and the Seven Steps Fist, he instantly dished out 25,000 catties of strength, meeting the burly man’s attack head-on.
Bang, bang, bang!
As soon his right fist—enveloped in internal force—collided with the burly man’s fist, the latter was reduced into a plethora of scrapped flesh and minced meat.
Squish!
His left fist, wrapped in internal force, came out of the muscular man’s chest from the other side.
However, the burly man was not yet done!
His attacks persisted!
With his other hand, he slammed down at Su Jingxing’s head viciously from a close distance.
Huff…
With his brain in full gear, Su Jingxing managed to act before the burly man. Using the hand that had pierced through the burly man’s chest as support, he charged forward, dragging his opponent along with him.
As he charged forward, the burly man’s palm strike missed midway.
His huge body was dragged by Su Jingxing uncontrollably, and when Su Jingxing retracted his hand, he flew more than ten meters before crashing to the ground and rolling several times.
Whoosh!
With his hand freed up, Su Jingxing dashed forward at full speed, throwing a punch at the bigger man’s head before he could regain his footing.
Bam!
A muffled sound reverberated through the night.
The burly man’s head was reduced to a pile of white and red matter, splattering all over the ground.
[Barbarian Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
Barbarian?
The Barbarian race?
Before Su Jingxing could even heave a sigh of relief, the notification struck him dumb.
The burly man turned out to be a barbarian?
That’s the kind of opponent the young men and his group of fighters were up against?
How barbarians had appeared in Qinghe City, how come he hadn’t heard anything about it?
Unless…
