Chapter 397: An Unexpected Result
The blood-red dais was dozens of meters wide, enough for Tim Lewis and Loong Jackman to fight within. Under the searing, expectant gazes of the spectators and the tense atmosphere, Tim Lewis and Loong Jackman stood facing each other in the death cage atop the blood-red dais, about ten meters apart.
Loong Jackman twisted his neck and clenched his fists. Clear, crisp cracking sounds immediately came from his burly body!
Loong Jackman was famed for his iron fists and was best at close combat!
“Old geezer!”
“Ready to die?”
Suddenly, Loong Jackman asked a question. And that was all he asked!
The moment his voice fell, without waiting for Tim Lewis’s reply, the majestic dark energy within him erupted like a tidal river, madly pouring into his right fist through his right arm. His entire person was like a ferocious, unrivaled hunting leopard as he kicked off the ground and pounced at Tim Lewis ten meters away!
One punch aimed straight for Tim Lewis’s face!
“Die?”
“By your hand?”
Sensing Loong Jackman’s erupting majestic dark energy, Tim Lewis’s expression inevitably became somber. But faced with such a fierce punch from Loong Jackman, he still maintained utter confidence! With a cold snort, he likewise channeled his majestic dark energy into his right fist. Without dodging or retreating, he rushed to meet Loong Jackman head-on, fist against fist, clashing hard with him!
“This is…”
“Seeking death!!!”
Seeing Tim Lewis’s reaction, Ernest Mason and the other old freaks of the Swordland families on the ordinary gray dais all changed color.
Clearly, they never expected Tim Lewis to have such courage and audacity!
In their view, Tim Lewis going fist against fist and clashing hard with Loong Jackman was the same as smashing eggs against rocks. It was undoubtedly suicidal!
After all, Loong Jackman’s pair of iron fists were notoriously mighty in Swordland. Few dared to clash with him so directly!
Roars of shock and dismay sounded from the vast crowd of onlookers!
Boom!!! Over the short ten meters, as the two Complete Stage cultivators charged at each other, in the blink of an eye, the sounds of dismay from the vast crowd had just started when they were forcefully interrupted by a deafening explosion!
On the blood-red dais, inside the death cage, neither Tim Lewis nor Loong Jackman used any flashy moves. They simply went fist against fist in the crudest, most straightforward way, clashing hard!
In an instant, their dark energies collided and rammed into each other!
The next moment, both of them were blasted back simultaneously!
To the spectators, it was as if two balls had smashed fiercely into each other, sending you flying while also bouncing me away!
Tap tap tap!
Loong Jackman took three steps back before stabilizing himself!
Tap tap tap tap tap!
Tim Lewis retreated five steps!
In the first exchange, Tim Lewis seemed to be suppressed by Loong Jackman at a disadvantage!
However…
“This is…”
“How…”
“How is this possible!”
Despite being at a disadvantage, Tim Lewis’s performance still greatly shocked Ernest Mason and the rest. All their eyes constricted tightly, staring at Tim Lewis in disbelief!
He actually blocked it!
With rage that had been pent up the entire night, Loong Jackman finally found a chance to vent it in this life-or-death battle. Naturally, he wouldn’t hold back at all. That punch just now could be said to have exerted his full might! Yet it only made Tim Lewis retreat two more steps than him! It didn’t blast Tim Lewis flying with one hit!
Even if it couldn’t kill him, it should have at least heavily injured Tim Lewis. That would have matched Ernest Mason and the others’ expectations!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
Startled cries also sounded from the surrounding vast crowd!
It seemed everyone had looked down on Tim Lewis, looked down on this outsider who had come from afar!
“Refreshing!”
Compared to the utter shock of the onlookers, Loong Jackman who personally experienced Tim Lewis’s punch was even more surprised. But amidst the surprise, he shook his slightly numb fist and suddenly grinned. Eyes fixed unwaveringly on Tim Lewis opposite him, the fighting spirit on his body grew even more intense as he coldly laughed, “Daring to be so arrogant, you indeed have some ability!”
“I haven’t felt this refreshed in a long time!”
“Again!”
“I want to see how many punches you can take!!!”
Whoosh! Tim Lewis’s unexpected strength made Loong Jackman even more excited. Raising his fist, he charged over again, still not using any flashy moves, just wildly smashing with his fists!
Seeing this, Howard Taylor immediately reminded from below, “Master Tim, don’t clash with him directly. Your speed is faster than his!”
“You…”
Howard Taylor had just spoken halfway when he abruptly stopped!Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
The reason was simple. Despite already at a disadvantage from the first punch and clearly knowing how terrifying Loong Jackman’s fists were, Tim Lewis completely ignored his advice. He once again chose to meet him head-on, raising his fist to clash hard with Loong Jackman!
Howard Taylor’s face turned green!
Damn it! He doesn’t even want his life anymore just to save face?
“Boss!”
Not just Howard Taylor who didn’t know Tim Lewis well, even Spirit Wolf in the luxury car was shocked by Tim Lewis’s crazy actions. His face gloomy, he said, “This old guy is so hotheaded, he won’t get beaten to death, right?”
Clearly, Spirit Wolf also didn’t think much of Tim Lewis’s reckless and daring approach!
“Don’t worry!”
“He won’t die!”
Holding Phyllis, Sean had also been watching the battle on the blood-red dais the entire time. Of everyone present, no one probably understood Tim Lewis’s true strength better than him. So he unhurriedly shook his head and said, “He’s putting on an act. Just ignore him!”
Hearing this, Spirit Wolf was startled and asked doubtfully, “Boss means…”
Boom!
Before Spirit Wolf could ask, the sound of colliding dark energies exploded. On the blood-red dais, Tim Lewis and Loong Jackman’s second punches had already fiercely met!
After the explosion…
Tap tap tap!
As expected, like the first punch, it was still an evenly matched exchange with both recoiling after brief contact!
What was different was that Loong Jackman retreated three steps, and Tim Lewis also retreated three steps this time!
Logically, Tim Lewis was at a disadvantage from Loong Jackman’s first punch. Continuing to clash hard would be very unfavorable for him. The suppression should become more and more obvious!
Loong Jackman took three steps back, so Tim Lewis should have retreated at least seven or eight steps to make sense!
Yet the fact was the opposite!
“Damn!”
Spirit Wolf’s eyelid jumped violently as he immediately realized something. Looking back at Sean, he asked, “Boss means this old guy is putting on an act, showing weakness to the enemy. He was just probing before and didn’t use his full power?”
Faced with this, Sean didn’t deny it!
“What else could it be?”
Sean smiled and said, “Keep watching. The good show is still to come!”
Spirit Wolf was speechless!
With Boss here, this old bastard Tim Lewis actually went to put on an act alone. He really was asking for a beating!
“This is bad!”
Ernest Mason and the others had a similar reaction to Spirit Wolf. Those old freaks at Complete Stage naturally realized the crisis as well. They immediately knew things had gone terribly wrong!
“That bastard is playing weak to devour strong!”
“There’s probably danger!”
Josh Walsh and Loong Jackman had always been on good terms. Anxiously, he said, “Mr. Jackman, unimaginable consequences if this continues!”
“Should we…”
Josh Walsh didn’t finish speaking, but the implication was already clear!
This was their home turf, their territory!
If they saw the situation was unfavorable, and called an end to the fight in time, they might be criticized and leave an opening, but no one would dare stop them!
“No!” Ernest Mason rejected the idea without thinking. Solemnly, he said, “The dais challenges rely on individual ability. Life or death is up to fate, victory or defeat lies with heaven!”
“If we make a move now, the prestige we finally accumulated will be completely lost!”
“The Saint Leo Temple…”
“Will also be rendered meaningless!”
As before, Ernest Mason was a man who did big things, always prioritizing the big picture. With tens of thousands of Swordland commoners and so many outsider forces watching below, he naturally wouldn’t lightly abandon his years of careful planning just for Loong Jackman’s safety alone!
“But…”
Josh Walsh gritted his teeth, unwilling. He had wanted to plead further, but before he could speak, the third explosive sound of colliding dark energies suddenly rang out!
Boom!!!
It was simply deafening!
This was already the third clash between Tim Lewis and Loong Jackman!
Tap!
What dumbfounded everyone was that this time, under the heavy punch, Tim Lewis only retreated half a step with his right foot. Meanwhile, Loong Jackman was blasted back tap tap tap five whole steps, almost falling over on the spot!
The disparity was clear!
It was only now that Tim Lewis had exerted his full power!
This was his limit!
“Just this?”
Tim Lewis stood steadily, the contempt and disdain in his eyes towards Loong Jackman overwhelming as he coldly snorted, “Earlier you said I have some ability?”
“Hah!”
“What a pity!”
“An idiot like you doesn’t even have one bit of ability. You simply can’t take a single hit!”
As Sean said, Tim Lewis really was deliberately showing off arrogantly!
Pfft! The punch from Tim Lewis left Loong Jackman’s breaths chaotic, his organs churning ceaselessly. A mouthful of old blood surged to his throat that he forcefully swallowed back down, but hearing Tim Lewis’s words, he couldn’t hold it in and spat it all out, staining the dais red!
“Spitting blood?”
Tim Lewis became even cockier, laughing, “Are you a three year old kid? Is your insignificant body made of paper? Bleeding from just a touch?”
“If I had known, I would have gone easier on you!”
Damn it! Loong Jackman’s lungs were about to explode from rage. Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, he viciously said, “Again! I don’t believe I can’t blast you dead today!!!”
Loong Jackman did not fear death!
But this kind of disgraceful humiliation, he really could not tolerate!
Boom! The moment he finished speaking, almost at the same time Loong Jackman charged forth, Tim Lewis also moved. His entire person became a blur as he raised his fist and leapt up, smashing heavily at Loong Jackman!
The showing off was done! This battle could end now!
Crack! As soon as their fists made contact under Tim Lewis’s full powered attack, amidst the deafening explosion, a clear, crisp sound of breaking bones rang out!
Next, Loong Jackman’s fist split open, gushing blood as if a pipe had ruptured. He only persevered one or two seconds before his entire person was blasted away with a whoosh, flying over ten meters and rolling several more before barely coming to a stop!
“Didn’t you say you wanted to see how many punches I could take?”
“Four punches!”
“Enough?”
Before the heavily injured Loong Jackman could get up, Tim Lewis had already chased over, looking down at him condescendingly and coldly snorting, “You can close your eyes in the netherworld!”
Having said that, Tim Lewis raised his right leg and stomped down straight at Loong Jackman’s head!
“Stop!!!”
An enraged roar followed, from Josh Walsh standing on the ordinary gray dais above. When Tim Lewis revealed his true strength, Josh Walsh realized Loong Jackman might lose, but never expected it to be so quick and decisive!
Even more unexpected was Tim Lewis’s audacity in wanting to openly execute Loong Jackman under the eyes of everyone!
Roars erupted from the surrounding vast crowd, like tidal waves crashing!
Yet Tim Lewis completely ignored Josh Walsh’s shout, and also the clamor of the Swordland people. His foot did not hesitate or pause at all. Under the furious gazes of all, he stomped down without any hesitation!
Boom! Next moment, Tim Lewis’s right foot unerringly smashed onto Loong Jackman’s head. Fragile as a watermelon under Tim Lewis’s brutal stomp, Loong Jackman’s head directly exploded!
Blood sprayed atop the already blood-red deadly dais, the stench spreading.
Loong Jackman was dead! Killed with one stomp from Tim Lewis!
His miserable state was unspeakable!
This scene dumbfounded Josh Walsh, Ernest Mason, Howard Taylor, Karen Smith, and the tens of thousands of Swordland commoners. It dumbfounded everyone!
Before the fight began, even in their dreams no one could have imagined such an outcome!
Silence! After the tremendous shock, the previously deafening scene abruptly fell into an bizarre stillness!
“Bastard!!!”
Then after that brief silence, Josh Walsh flew into a rage and rushed down from the ordinary gray dais, coming before the iron gate of the blood-red deadly dais. Staring furiously at Tim Lewis inside the cage, he said to the middle-aged man beside the gate responsible for locking and unlocking, “Open the door and let me in!”
“I’m going to take Loong Jackman’s place and duel him!”
Clearly, with Tim Lewis openly executing Loong Jackman, the enraged Josh Walsh also wanted to immediately avenge Loong Jackman on the spot. He would claim Tim Lewis’s life on the blood-red dais and leave his corpse next to Loong Jackman’s!
Let Tim Lewis keep Loong Jackman company in death!
That middle-aged man was naturally arranged there by Ernest Mason and the rest. He didn’t dare defy Josh Walsh’s intention. Immediately, he took out the key to the death cage. With a creak, he shakily opened the iron gate!
However, the instant the gate opened, before Josh Walsh could charge in, Tim Lewis became a blur and shot out of the death cage first. He shrugged and said arrogantly, “You want to challenge me too?”
“Sorry!”
“Killing one reckless fool like you is enough. You’re not worth wasting my time on!”
“So I reject your challenge!”
As he finished speaking, Tim Lewis strode forward with an aloof, contemptuous gait and headed straight for Sean and the others in the parking lot across the way…
