Chapter 765 - 763: Can’t Hold On Much Longer
"Phew..."
Yang Xinru took a deep breath, this Shi Kekuang was indeed much stronger than Jackie. Even though they both had Yellow Dao five-star strength, why was there such a big gap between them?
Just now, when Yang Xinru took Shi Kekuang’s move, she immediately felt that this person’s power was incredibly strong. She barely managed to stand after exerting all her strength.
Although their strength was roughly the same, his advantage in power and physique would make her suffer if she engaged in a direct melee with him.
So she had to think of a way to trip this big guy up, then press him down on the ground to attack him. Only once he was down, could she have a chance to attack.
With this thought, Yang Xinru didn’t rush to attack immediately but instead looked for an opportunity. This time her goal wasn’t to attack, but to trip him.
Having a plan made Yang Xinru’s next move much clearer, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to choose in the battle, and time wouldn’t allow it either.
At this moment, Shi Kekuang moved again. Clearly, his previous attack was too much for Yang Xinru to handle, so he must seize the opportunity to pursue and defeat her.
The next moment, Shi Kekuang’s punches, knee strikes, and elbow strikes came one after another like raindrops, moving at lightning speed, leaving Yang Xinru no room to react.
However, Yang Xinru wasn’t keen on lingering in a stalemate with him. In terms of strength, Shi Kekuang couldn’t cause her much damage; it was just too exhausting.
After all, Yang Xinru was a woman, and during the battle, she was being suppressed, consuming her stamina rapidly. Soon Yang Xinru was left panting heavily, forcing her to swiftly dodge aside.
Meanwhile, Shi Kekuang, like a wild bull, wasn’t about to give Yang Xinru a chance to rest. He knew their prowess wasn’t far apart, and since Yang Xinru dared not face him directly, his great strength and high defense weren’t of much use to her.
Shi Kekuang was about to catch up to Yang Xinru and prepared for a fierce punch to knock her out of the ring and win the match.
But just as he was about to strike, Yang Xinru suddenly ducked and executed an Autumn Wind Sweeping Leaves move. The speed of her Shadowless Kick was formidable, catching Shi Kekuang off guard and hitting his calf.
At that moment, Shi Kekuang felt his calf go numb, and he uncontrollably lunged forward with a thud, causing the floor to tremble.
"Wow..."
The audience erupted in astonishment. Previously, Yang Xinru was being chased and battered, making the crowd of Huaxia tense and silent, with even breathing and heartbeat audible. But now it was different.
Clearly, this young lady managed to trip up this black beast, it was indeed a miracle.
Just now, it was like a beast vs. beauty scenario, and now it turned into a dog’s tumble.
"Hahaha..."
Nearby, Zhang Xiaochao couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Earlier, he saw Feng Lin lose so miserably, knowing the tough training military personnel underwent; he knew it was futile for him, being merely a Yellow Dao three-star expert. He planned to give up directly.
Now watching this young beauty trip this big black guy into a dog’s tumble, Zhang Xiaochao laughed heartily.
Next to him, Chen Tianlong turned around and looked, speechless. The least he could do was show some respect. However, inside, Chen Tianlong was chuckling heartily.
This Yang Xinru was quite clever, Chen Tianlong realized. She wasn’t afraid of Shi Kekuang but was pondering the best way to defeat him. Considering their similar skill levels, with Shi Kekuang’s evident advantage in strength and defense, a direct confrontation wasn’t feasible.
So, seeing Yang Xinru’s move, Chen Tianlong silently praised her, "This Xinru is really smart, I’m liking this little lady more and more."
"Ah... I’m so angry, filthy woman, I’m going to kill you." Shi Kekuang was visibly enraged, forgetting it was a match and started yelling at Yang Xinru.
"Stop! Shi Kekuang, I’m warning you, this counts as a foul. In the ring, it’s all about friendly matches, and you can’t verbally harm others. Your words have threatened your opponent just now; another offense will disqualify you, and you’ll lose the match."
Referee Zhang Jie said, he couldn’t stand these foreigners who arrogantly roamed here without restraint; enough was enough.
"Sorry! I know I was wrong."
Shi Kekuang saw Zhenzi casting him a sharp glance and was startled, promptly apologizing to the referee and Yang Xinru.
"Alright, it’s good you know to repent. You get another chance, focus on the match, and in the ring, regardless of the methods you use, as long as you don’t concede or leave the ring, you cannot threaten or insult your opponent verbally. Fine, continue the match!"
After Zhang Jie’s statement, he swiftly stepped aside, watching intently, ready to alert any violations.
The two resumed their fierce stance, though Shi Kekuang simply took a fall earlier, which hardly caused any damage except for his embarrassment.
Yang Xinru’s stamina was clearly waning. Initially, she wanted to jump over and pin down the big guy. But then she remembered, given his strength, if she couldn’t hold him down, wouldn’t she be caught right away?
Upon this realization, she abandoned the thought, choosing to initiate her trump card, the Yang Family’s second secret technique, Thunderous Eight Trigrams Palm.
However, Yang Xinru only learned this palm technique a few days ago, similar to Chen Tianlong, but more unfortunate, having mastered only the first form.
Now was a crucial moment; the Thunderous Eight Trigrams Palm was merely being tested. Even if she loses, it’s fine; she could count on Zhao Lei and Chen Tianlong, whom she trusted absolutely.
Earlier, she already eliminated one, fulfilling her task, so she decided to play around with this tall black opponent for a while.
"Hey, charcoal head, are you still fighting or not? I’ve been waiting for so long." Yang Xinru said impatiently. This person was insulting and dawdling; how could someone so tall and mighty be so verbose?
"You... I’m right here, aren’t I?" Shi Kekuang glared at Yang Xinru, visibly agitated, but unable to curse, his foul-mouthed nature stifled by the new rule.
"What do you mean ’you,’ hurry up and fight, stop dawdling." Yang Xinru deliberately stated.
"Hmph, don’t think I can’t handle you, you’ll be the one crying later." Shi Kekuang bit his lip, fiercely retorted.
Yang Xinru smiled silently, then steadied her body and began to channel the Yang Family Technique. Although it was no supreme heaven-defying technique, it was at least passed down through generations from a Capital City clan, making it quite high-end.
The Thunderous Eight Trigrams Palm and Shadowless Kick were both Yang Family’s secret skills, but the Shadowless Kick was merely a common skill. To ordinary cultivators, the Shadowless Kick was pretty fierce, but to advanced cultivators, it was quite ordinary.
