This was also a critical point in the human body, especially for martial artists. If the Inner Breath and Palm Energy were released, it would directly injure the kidneys and lung lobes... At the same time, it would also shake the internal organs, and if things went wrong, it could lead to a mishap in the Inner Breath. At that time, without Shangguan Tianling launching a second move, Qin Fang would have suffered backlash from his own Inner Breath, and he would have disabled himself.
"Hmph!"
But facing such an onslaught from Shangguan Tianling, Qin Fang did not choose to retreat. Instead, he twisted his arm, forcefully using his elbow to block Shangguan Tianling's Palm Energy.
Bang~~~
In an instant, the two exchanged blows, and Shangguan Tianling's Palm Energy collided with Qin Fang's arm, emitting a muffled sound.
A fierce look appeared on Shangguan Tianling's face, and he scorned in his heart, thinking, "What an idiot! If you had thrown a punch, I might have worried that you had Hidden Weapons again. Could there possibly be Hidden Weapons in your elbow?"
Such a thought was of course very reasonable. This arm had already concealed a Military Spike before, and it was bent naturally, so it was impossible to hide anything else.
Without Hidden Weapons to surprise him, Shangguan Tianling certainly did not take Qin Fang seriously. His Palm Energy surged wildly, and such a terrifying force was enough to break Qin Fang's arm... With the loss of an arm, Qin Fang's combat power would have drastically decreased.
However...
Very soon, Shangguan Tianling's expression changed dramatically, turning extremely ugly, as if he had just lost a dear father, because... his palm strike had not gained the slightest advantage.
The violent Palm Energy hit Qin Fang's arm, but Qin Fang did not fly backward like in the previous two instances. Instead, he did not move at all, as if such force was nothing more than a tickle to him.
"This..."
Shangguan Tianling truly could not believe what was happening.
He knew his own strength all too well, and he had also exerted his full power in that palm strike, but the outcome was on an entirely different level from the last time.
Why was this the case?
Shangguan Tianling's mind was filled with doubts, and his thoughts were all question marks.
But he didn't have much time to think about these, since his attack had ended, and Qin Fang had immediately started to counterattack, with a massive fist coming straight at him.
Not far away, Lei Peng was also surprised, vaguely feeling that something was not right. His uncle Shangguan Tianling seemed to have become as weak as a septuagenarian, that Palm Energy so light, seemingly without any force...
While Shangguan Tianling felt that his Palm Energy was threatening, Lei Peng, an onlooker, thought it was powerless. If it weren't for knowing that the two were engaged in a life-and-death struggle, anyone completely unfamiliar with them would definitely think they were faking the fight...
Filled with doubts, but Lei Peng also couldn't question his uncle, especially since Shangguan Tianling had just been tricked by Qin Fang. He initially thought that Shangguan Tianling had become more cautious.
Overall, even though Qin Fang had a bit of an indestructible "Xiao Qiang" quality, there was no way he could stand up against Shangguan Tianling in terms of strength!
But... he quickly felt his worldview turned upside down because Qin Fang's counterattack immediately showed its effectiveness!
Qin Fang's fist came straight for him with astonishing momentum and horrifying force, almost going all out, even reaching twelve points of combat power.
Shangguan Tianling was a Grandmaster-level Expert, with much stronger combat sense than Qin Fang. With a slight movement of his body, he turned his hand into a fist, trying to land a Heavy Strike on Qin Fang.
But Qin Fang, as if he had activated a speed hack, moved even faster than Shangguan Tianling. Before Shangguan Tianling could intercept, the fist had already heavily hit Shangguan Tianling's nose...
Bang~~
Blood burst forth!
This time it was no longer Qin Fang's blood. Grandmaster-level Shangguan Tianling received such a heavy punch on the nose, immediately spurting nosebleeds. At the same time, the strong punch caused Shangguan Tianling to stagger, taking several quick steps backward, almost falling on his bottom.
"How is this possible?"
Both Lei Peng and Shangguan Tianling were unbelievably shocked, because Qin Fang had achieved what seemed nearly impossible!
A Grandmaster-level expert such as Shangguan Tianling was actually beaten to a bloody nose by Qin Fang, who was not a Grandmaster level?
If this were to spread, probably the entire Dragon Country Martial World would think it's a joke...
But the fact was just that, Qin Fang's fist and Shangguan Tianling's still streaming nosebleed were the best proof, and even Qin Fang's fist was stained with Shangguan Tianling's blood!
"I got hit?"
When Qin Fang's heavy fist landed squarely on his nose, the instant pain nearly dumbfounded Shangguan Tianling.
It wasn't that he'd never been hit by anyone: within the Heavenly Pool Sect, Shangguan Tianling's strength was not outstanding. There were at least ten experts stronger than him. Basically, whenever he went up against these people, he'd often come out injured.
But those were injuries caused by peers of the same level, whereas this time... he was actually hit by a non-Grandmaster-level expert!
If the previous time Qin Fang had plotted against him with a sneak attack, then this time it was a plain and simple beat down...
Why did this happen?
Shangguan Tianling racked his brain but couldn't understand how this had transpired.
"Uncle... seems slower!"
It was Lei Peng in the distance who vaguely noticed something amiss—that Shangguan Tianling's speed and reactions were much slower than before, not at all like a Grandmaster-level expert. Even the dodge from that punch, Lei Peng himself would have been quicker than Shangguan Tianling...
But clearly, Shangguan Tianling could not figure out the root of the problem, his heart already filled with humiliation and rage, focus only on harboring animosity towards Qin Fang.
Getting up from the ground, he wiped away a streak of nosebleed. The deep crimson stain was so glaring, even more so than the blood that flowed from the palm pierced by the military spike earlier.
"I will kill you! Tear you to a thousand pieces!"
He uttered every word with a pause, his aura growing incrementally as his entire being seemed to become even more dangerous.
"That's exactly what I want to say to you..."
But Qin Fang was not a bit worried; on the contrary, his face showed deep disdain as he strongly retorted, his body moving slightly and swiftly advancing towards Shangguan Tianling once more.
Qin Fang's speed was still as fast, seeming unchanged and without significant increase. Shangguan Tianling, already burning with rage, met the attack head-on. He refused to believe that he, a Grandmaster-level expert, could possibly be defeated by a non-Grandmaster nobody...
"Even slower..."
But as he moved to counter-attack, feeling good about himself, Lei Peng's frown deepened from a distance. Shangguan Tianling's reactions, his speed, everything had slowed down, this time even more so than before!
Bang~~
Before Lei Peng could comment, Qin Fang and Shangguan Tianling collided once again, their bodies slamming into each other with a contest of sheer strength. Subsequently, one of them ultimately couldn't withstand it and was blasted away...
But this time, it wasn't Qin Fang; it was unmistakably Shangguan Tianling!
He was actually sent flying by Qin Fang...
Shangguan Tianling was stunned, bewildered... completely flabbergasted!
Yet Qin Fang didn't leave him much time to ponder. He moved quickly, covering the distance over which Shangguan Tianling flew in the blink of an eye. With a slight leap, he took a higher position and viciously kicked down. The terrifying force exploded out in an instant, and Shangguan Tianling, already without any support, was fiercely slammed to the ground by Qin Fang's kick. Even his head was ruthlessly stepped on under Qin Fang's foot...
Shangguan Tianling was utterly crushed by Qin Fang...(To be continued. If you like this work, please cast your recommendation votes and monthly ticket at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
