Chapter 1000: Chapter 773: One Punch, One Step!
“We also need to take some important things, but our strength is somewhat weak. After I take them, you just need to escort me back to the Babon Duchy.” Princess Yue Xi looked into Mu Fan’s bright, expectant eyes and made an exceptionally simple request.
In Daisendari’s view, this was akin to giving away the opportunity for nothing.
“You want him to guard us? I, Daisendari, don’t need anyone to protect me! Princess, I beg you to take back those words.” The man, like a gray wolf, fell to his knees with a thundering sound.
At that moment, Yue Xi’s attitude seemed very resolute, for the vine leaves quietly hanging from the observation platform, which Mu Fan had noticed, secretly rose, undoubtedly responding to Yue Xi’s words.
“Daisendari, you have said that the hearts of people outside are deceitful, and our journey has truly made me understand the meaning of these words. But having one more friend means one more strength, surely you understand that, right?”
The future Duchess naturally exuded the aura of a superior as she spoke these words.
Her pure and spotless eyes sparkled brightly under the small night lamp.
“I understand, it’s just… I really can’t believe he can actually protect you, and on our way back… we don’t need him!”
Yue Xi simply looked at him calmly; in the end, the tall man irritably turned his head and said in a muffled voice, “If you can make me take a step back within three moves, then I agree.”
“Dai…” Yue Xi was about to exert the authority of a princess when suddenly a clear voice responded from beside her.
“Alright.” Mu Fan candidly answered directly before Yue Xi.
The girl’s red lips slightly parted, her teeth resembling pearls, and there was puzzlement in her expression.
Now that she had spoken, there was no need for this step.
Meeting by chance was fated; the kind-hearted Yue Xi had already decided to help Mu Fan, something Daisendari could not change.
Yet Mu Fan’s calm response provided the best step down in front of her guard.
Mu Fan looked toward Yue Xi, gently nodded, and bowed, “Thank you, if this does not suffice, I will do my utmost to make up for it.”
Then when he looked back at the massive gray wolf man, his aura congealed like a blade’s edge, emanating sharpness and chill.
“Make you take a step back, is that all?”
“That’s right, within three moves, if you can make me, Daisendari, take a step back, there will be no further words.” At this moment, all the muscles bulged on Daisendari’s body, the brawny muscles nearly tearing his clothes. In Mu Fan’s Spiritual Vision, a fiery blaze began to ignite within this man.
This was a similarly intense Flame of Fighting Will.
He possessed a physique at level twenty-six—his body was a piece of steel tirelessly forged. Throughout a lifetime of hand-to-hand combat, he had never been defeated. How could this kid possibly make him retreat?
“Alright.”
Mu Fan took a deep breath into his chest and suppressed it, his left leg slightly spread outwards, his whole body like a still mountain, instantly exuding the bearing of a Martial Path Grandmaster.
Seeing this scene, Yue Xi’s eyes showed some surprise and then a sparkle.
Girls have always admired the strong.
This was the first time she had seen a boy of about the same age dare to challenge the Babon Grey Wolf—Daisendari.
Just this courage was worthy of admiration, and the suddenly displayed demeanor aroused even more anticipation.
“Princess, step back a little.”
Seeing Yue Xi move to a lounge chair several meters away, Daisendari finally focused all his attention on Mu Fan. His falcon-like eyes quietly appraised Mu Fan.
As the bones around him cracked, his hands slowly pushed forward.
Mu Fan’s eyes narrowed; he saw the airflow settle all around this man’s feet.
This was the direct manifestation of influencing the surrounding environment with one’s own strength and spirit.
The opponent was very strong.
Very strong!
But…
Mu Fan’s left hand was placed before him, and his right hand slowly raised, with the cracking of bones, his fist slowly drew back.
Adopting a standard but ordinary attack stance.
“Your physique has surpassed level 25, hasn’t it?” Mu Fan gently said, maintaining the pose.
“Heh… 25? Your observation isn’t too bad, very close.”
His actual physique level was 26!
It was an existence that could crush countless humans physically.
“Alright… then I shall use all my strength.” Mu Fan calmly replied and stepped forward.
In an instant, a cold Ghost Energy surged from his heart, flowing into his legs.
When his foot landed, a visible shockwave exploded from beneath his foot.
Dong!
With a massive tremor, Mu Fan’s body was like a taut bow at its extreme, and then the spinal string powerfully snapped.
A figure instantly tore through space, Mu Fan traversed a five-meter distance in 0.2 seconds.
Six Forms: Charging Step.
Six Forms: Iron Body.
Derived Stacking Skill—Stormy Rush Punch!
At that moment, his clenched right fist instantaneously completed iron hardening.
Extreme speed layered with extreme hardness.
Daisendari’s pupils widened; he only felt the pressure of the fist edge in front of him suddenly elevate an entire level!
Both arms suddenly crossed defensively in front of him.
The fist edge swept past Yue Xi’s line of sight, leaving a prolonged human afterimage, and struck with a boom.
Bang!
Visibly, Daisendari’s muscled arm instantly dented.
A cloud, whether from fabrics or shattered sweat, rose directly between the two.
The violent kinetic energy was fully absorbed by the opponent, returning entirely after reaching the opponent’s muscle peak.
The tremor crisscrossed between fist edge and arm.
Siii~~~
In the tooth-gritting sound, Daisendari, maintaining a crossed defensive stance, emitted a burning rubber odor from the soles of his leather boots, a tread mark two meters long directly extended from Mu Fan to two meters away…
There, Daisendari maintained a stunned defensive stance, looking at his feet.
He couldn’t believe it.
That fiercely exaggerated punch was actually thrown by this seemingly frail youth.
Moreover, within that thin body, there was such astonishing and overwhelming strength!
Beside them, Princess Yue Xi, who had been poised, now gaped openly for the first time, unable to close her cherrylike small mouth for a long time.
The strongest warrior of the Babon Duchy… Daisendari, was repelled two meters by a boy almost of her own age with a single punch…
Ghost Energy receded like a tide, and the ice-cold aura in Mu Fan’s eyes finally vanished, reverting to the bright and clear gaze from before.
The opponent’s physique was astounding.
Astonishing to a level only second to Ruan Xiongfei.
But Mu Fan possessed a Martial Path Inheritance not from this world—Ghost Energy and the Six Forms.
This was the foundation for Mu Fan creating miracles repeatedly in battles surpassing his levels.
The pain from the fist edge did come through, yet not a muscle flinched on Mu Fan’s face as he calmly looked at the increasingly unstable and terrifying Daisendari.
The outstretched right fist slowly retracted.
“Does this count as one step?”
