"No.... Just trying to find the best way to end this squabble."
Hou Long's answer came as a fist to Pan's face. But just like before he ducked down and this time instead of running away, hit towards Hou's stomach as the latter blocked it with his left hand.
The fight that had happened right now didn't take more than a few seconds because of high fast they were moving. So for the crowd, the moment went by as a flash and it made them more excited as they cheered them on.
The fight went on as Hou kept on attacking and Pan either blocking it or countering it with his moves. The close quarter combat didn't take long to finish before Pan struck a blow to Hou's face as the latter flew back a few meters.
Hou quickly stopped himself by using his hands and sliding over the plain rocky terrain. The hit made him a little disgruntled but he was still aware of his surroundings as he looked at Pan and waited for him to strike.
But surprisingly or unsurprisingly, Pan didn't move from his place and just looked at him with a blank face. Hou didn't know what was Pan doing but became angry a while later when he finally understood his meaning.
'
That Basta*d doesn't think I am strong enough for him to attack me
.' Hou's nose flared in anger, '
I'm gonna make him realize that this is not a fu*king playground
.'
Blood raced through both arms of Hou as the air around him suddenly changed. The sudden change didn't get any attention from Pan as he saw flames igniting on both hands of Hou's. The air around Hou's quickly became heated as the flames burned on through his rage.
The ground cracked under his feet as they heavily pushed back and ran towards its target as Hou quickly came towards Pan's area.
This time though it was different from Pan's previous moves. This time he didn't just dodge his attack, He pulled out the white and blue mixed scabbard from his waist and stopped the flame strike from Hou's hands. Even then the flames burned with such intensity that he could feel the heat from his scabbard.
"Can you feel it!" Hou looked at him with a crazy smile, "This is my strength. MY FURY." Saying that he pushed back as the scabbard used his own momentum to threw them sideways.
But Hou didn't stop there, he pushed back with the ferocity of an angered beast and struck multiple times towards Pan who would block them using his scabbard.
Pan parried another strike coming from the frenzied idiot and jumped back a few meters to distance himself from the guy.
He had stopped many of his attacks from hitting him but some had gone through his defenses. Those attacks were also stopped because of his high quality robes that had fire resistance but Pan could see some black spots in some places of the robe that had been struck multiple times.
Hou pulled back his right hand and chanted, "Flame GOTO"
Pan saw the pulled right hand suddenly being ignited all over and parried it with all his strength as the fist went upwards. The flames this time were burning with such an intensity that Pan could feel himself burning.
From the corner of his eye, Pan saw Hou chanting the same words again and went right as a flaming hand struck there and flames spewed forward, making the crowd cheer once more, not knowing the true horrors of them.
Hou pulled both his hands together and made a hammer stance and spoke silently, "Flame GOTO 2" His words brought forth a massive chunk of flames that seemed to devour his own hands but did not damage them. Hou didn't wait and struck at Pan who rolled back as the heavy strike shattered the ground where he was.
The dust slowly cleared and Pan saw Hou looking for him through it.
'
What Power!'
Pan saw the ground that had shattered more than 18 meters. '
He still has so much mana left to use such a move on me.
'
'
But nothings without cost
.' Pan stood up and unsheathed the sword on his right as he saw Hou breathing heavily as the move before took its toll.
Hou instead looked surprised, "The second one?" and laughed, "Don't worry, I'll make you use the other two as well."
"Unfortunately the fight will be over before it."
Hou was angry but didn't retaliate any words as he saw Pan lowering himself a little and holding both his swords while chanting the words, "The Water Strikes."
Hou too used most of his mana on the upcoming bout as flames took hold of his hands and ran. Pan looked at the upcoming flames of death and remained calm. He was calm until the moment when they were both at a point that each struck one another.
One hit the other with flames that destroyed everything and the other hit him with dual strikes that had water sharping its edge to the finest.
One thing was certain, the fight ended here.
