Chapter 275

One-hit KO

Clang! Whoosh! Boom!

Right after Yang Li and Xiong Ming traded their first blow, something went zooming back to the earth, and his crash landing left a deep ditch in the ground. All the cultivators had their breaths held. There he was, napping in the dirt. Yang Li was out cold after a single cross landed flush on his chest.

Scratching his head, Xiong Ming’s lips were curved from ear to ear. “I held back already.”

Cang Wanzi’s veins looked as if they were going to pop. Was it surprising after all the talking he did? Did stalling for one punch’s time count as stalling for time?

The white ape fiend king reacted as if he just woke from a nap. He frowned and rebuked, “Xiong, didn’t I tell you to go easy? We’re just having a friendly sparring match, not trying to cripple our friends. Didn’t I tell you to stop when it was clear you had one?”

“Y-Your Majesty, I was holding back. That was only one fifth of my full strength,” sulked Xiong Ming.

It clearly wasn’t a sparring match, but it was a fact that Xiong Ming didn’t suppress his cultivation, nor did he use an underhanded tactic.

“They’re not strong. The peace has just made us soft. Humans have forgotten fiends aren’t weaker than humans,” remarked Daoist Yuan Hua.

“Fiend’s Azure Wolf Zheng Qi.”

Boom!

It happened all over again. Azure Wolf Zheng Qi’s casual attack put Sun Bang’s lights out. The fiends continued to hold back to humiliate humanity. Thankfully, that saved the human combatants from dying or suffering debilitating injuries.

“That’s two and the right to two months’ access. We did offer you twenty matches, but you wanted just ten. Don’t cry we didn’t give you a chance.”

Humanity had no response.

“Mu Yu, are you really not going to stand up to them? You have an old macaque walking all over your race,” whispered Xiaoshuai.

“Not keen,” answered Mu Yu.

“Let me see what you’ve got.”

Mu Yu shuddered and froze. He recognised the voice. Up in the sky was Tian Ran on her flying sword. At first, he was jovial to see her. Upon recalling the events with her in his dream, though, his heart hammered harder and faster.
