Chapter 119 - 113: Steps Halted Abruptly
Chapter 119 - 113: Steps Halted Abruptly
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on the battlefield, their eyes not even blinking, for fear of missing any detail.
They were the two strongest people among the Martial Arts Conference contestants.
Although in their view, Chen Sheng would most likely be defeated.
After all, Wu Ran had an additional Physical Attribute brought by a breathing technique.
The gap between them was hard to make up for.
But even so.
They didn't think Chen Sheng would lose as easily as Zhao Kongming.
Chen Sheng, who had cultivated a breathing technique to Perfection, should be able to hold on for ten or twenty seconds, right?
Such an exciting battle,
Of course, they had to observe it carefully.
Even, many people had already taken out their phones, ready to record.
At this time,
On the battlefield.
Wu Ran looked down at Chen Sheng with a cool face.
Just like before when facing Zhao Kongming, there was no change.
It seemed that Chen Sheng, who had also cultivated the breathing technique to perfection, was nothing in his eyes.
"Ten seconds."
Wu Ran spoke again, stating a time.
"Within ten seconds, I will end the battle." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As soon as the words fell.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
The match was about to begin.
Listening to Wu Ran's arrogant words, he rolled his eyes and didn't even bother to rebut.
He just kept nodding his head, continuously agreeing with the other.
Chen Sheng also refocused his attention on the battlefield.
Listening to Wu Ran's arrogant words, he rolled his eyes and didn't even bother to rebut.
He just kept nodding his head, continuously agreeing with the other.
Such a perfunctory attitude seemed like agreement but was actually full of mockery.
Fortunately,
Wu Ran had enough confidence in himself.
He only needed to crush Chen Sheng with absolute strength.
By then, he could enjoy the shock and fear on the other's face.
"You'll get to experience it."
At that point,
Wu Ran slowly spread his arms wide.
Combined with his tall body and long arms.
His posture looked more and more like a proud Red-crowned Crane.
And the surrounding crowd was a bunch of humble, weak and ignorant chickens.
"Genuine despair...and pain."
Just as the words fell,
"I declare..."
Zhou Qiming had already stepped off the field.
"Start!"
The arm fell sharply.
The next moment,
The audience members with weaker strength just felt their eyes blur.
Wu Ran's figure disappeared right on the battlefield!
What happened?!
Where did he go?
Questions quickly popped up in the minds of many in the audience.
However, the faces of the martial arts hall leaders sitting near the edge of the field were extremely solemn, and their eyes were even filled with shock.
With their eyesight,
They wouldn't lose sight of Wu Ran's shadow.
Yet,
This was what shocked them.
That they could only see Wu Ran's shadow.
Yes.
Wu Ran didn't disappear.
The reason for the illusion was because his speed was too fast to perceive by the naked eye.
At this moment, Wu Ran had already circled the battlefield in an instant, trying to find a weakness in Chen Sheng and strike a fatal blow.
However,
The more Wu Ran observed, the deeper his eyebrows furrowed.
Not because he didn't find any weaknesses.
But because Chen Sheng's whole body was full of weaknesses!
Moreover, it seemed as if he had no intention of entering a Breathing Method state.
Was he overly confident?
Or did he not realize it?
According to Wu Ran's pride, he naturally regarded it as the latter.
In his generation of martial artists, he didn't think anyone could surpass him.
So,
When he thought of Chen Sheng daring to belittle him, even Wu Ran's eyes flashed with anger.
Since that's the case, you'll die.
His eyes turned fierce.
Immediately he charged directly at Chen Sheng.
The speed that was originally difficult for ordinary human eyes to catch up with increased even more.
The speed was so fast that everything around him seemed to slow down.
He could even clearly see every change in the faces of the audience at the edge of the field.
He could see their pupils shrinking little by little.
As for Chen Sheng standing still,
At this moment, to Wu Ran, he seemed even more like a motionless puppet, with no reaction.
Weak.
Too weak.
A trace of disappointment flashed through Wu Ran's eyes.
He thought that facing Chen Sheng, he could unleash all his power to the fullest.
But now, even though he had already reached the side of the opponent, the other was still unaware.
With such weakness, even if he entered Eagle Body State, how could he keep up with his speed?
Having the power but still being a target to be beaten was all there was to it.
For a moment,
Wu Ran felt tasteless.
The idea of fighting Chen Sheng to his heart's content was completely thrown behind him.
Weakness is the original sin.
Weakness is right in front of his path forward.
That's a capital crime!
With that thought,
His gaze became focused and he hesitated no more.
Step!
The ground crumbled, and dirt flew all around.
Wu Ran's feet remained firm, and the force gathered around him in an instant.
His long arms shot out like an arrow off the string, piercing towards Chen Sheng with a sharp whistling sound.
And now,
It seemed as if Chen Sheng had just noticed Wu Ran's existence, with a faint tendency to turn his head.
"Inhale—"
As the inhaling sound suddenly burst out.
Chen Sheng's body seemed to have a tendency to swell.
Only, in the eyes of the audience, that reaction seemed a bit too slow.
Wu Ran even sneered.
Were you only thinking about using the Breathing Technique now?
It's too late!
His fingertip was less than two centimeters away from Chen Sheng.
Before Chen Sheng could change, he could stab him to death.
"Not good!"
As he watched,
Chen Sheng was about to follow in Zhao Kongming's footsteps.
There were continuous screams from the audience.
Some even got up emotionally.
However,
What no one expected was,
When Wu Ran's fingers touched Chen Sheng,
Crack!
The crisp sound of broken bones.
It spread through the center of the venue.
Where it passed, the original cries and noises were all wiped out.
Wu Ran's face was also full of astonishment.
He watched his fingers hit Chen Sheng's skin.
Like an egg hitting a boulder, his finger twisted instantly into a bizarre arc and broke.
Bone fragments flew out.
Blood splashed like rain on Wu Ran's shocked face.
Then,
Unspeakable pain was transmitted from his fingertips.
"I don't have time to play with you now."
"Go play by yourself."
Along with that, Chen Sheng's words came.
There was no need to start the Breathing State to deal with just Wu Ran.
Chen Sheng's attributes alone were enough to suppress him.
The reason why he activated the Breathing State,
Was for another reason.
Chen Sheng didn't care about Wu Ran.
He turned around but didn't continue to attack him.
Instead, he looked solemnly in the direction of the exhibition center's entrance.
With Chen Sheng's senses, he could clearly hear the approaching footsteps and...
...the sound of firearms being loaded.
However,
Although he didn't have the time to deal with Wu Ran,
Wu Ran didn't think so.
Even though Chen Sheng didn't even fight back, Wu Ran broke two of his fingers.
But Wu Ran didn't think he was weak.
Because under the Crane Form, his attack power was indeed not enough.
Plus, he only used two fingers just now.
So,
In Wu Ran's view, he was just being too arrogant.
"Fine, fine, fine."
Breaking two fingers not only didn't make him timid,
But completely aroused Wu Ran's competitive spirit.
His smile grew more and more unbridled.
"Chen Sheng, I admit you're a worthy opponent, worth my full strength."
Whoosh!
As Wu Ran spoke, he quickly retreated from Chen Sheng.
Only when he reached a safe distance did he stop.
Looking at Chen Sheng's massive body and those pitch-black arms,
For the first time, Wu Ran's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
"Inhale—"
In the Crane Form, he quickly activated Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.
In an instant,
His originally thin body began to swell.
His muscles bulged and spread all over his.
Without affecting his speed, Wu Ran's power was maximally increased.
His pupils gradually turned amber.
The tips of his fingers sharpened, and a cold light shimmered faintly.
"Heh—"
With a mouth full of sharp teeth, Wu Ran greedily inhaled the air.
Unleashing all his combat power seemed to put a tremendous burden on his body.
"Three minutes."
"In this state, I can hold on for three minutes."
"I hope you'll let me enjoy it."
At the broken fingertip, the muscles contracted, stopping the blood flow.
Wu Ran grinned, his mouth stretching almost to his ears.
He stomped his right foot on the ground.
Boom!
The entire venue seemed to tremble slightly from his stomp.
An incredibly fierce aura spread from him.
Is this... activating a Breathing Technique during the Breathing State?!
Those in the audience closest to the battlefield even held their breath unconsciously.
They had seen Wu Ran's fingers break just now, and thought Chen Sheng's strength was far beyond Wu Ran's.
But the power Wu Ran displayed now was just too terrifying.
The constant reversals,
Shook the audience's confidence in their judgments.
Next second.
Boom!
The trembling sensation came again.
Wu Ran's huge body leaped high, stretching his arms to their limit.
"Come on, Chen Sheng!"
"Show me your limit!"
At this point, Wu Ran, after fully unleashing his combat power, no longer looked indifferent.
His face was like a madman.
His entire body was filled with a strong desire for battle.
The huge body was getting closer and closer to Chen Sheng.
The sharp nails emitted waves of cold under the light.
Whoosh!
His nails tore through the air, sounding a series of intense screams.
His target was Chen Sheng's skull.
However,
This time,
Just as Wu Ran approached Chen Sheng's attack range,
A thick, dark blue arm suddenly stretched out, its muscles as strong as steel and exuding a metallic sheen.
Slap!
He had no time to react, and the big hand firmly gripped his head, lifting it in midair.
"Ugh—"
Wu Ran couldn't utter a sound but struggled violently.
However, his sharp nails scraped against Chen Sheng's skin and caused no harm. Instead, they broke.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"I told you to get lost."
With that,
Chen Sheng casually threw him, and Wu Ran's massive body instantly flew back, crashing into the wall of the exhibition center and forming a huge pit.
The lower half of his body hung in midair, swaying.
His upper body was embedded deep into the wall.
