317 Who Said You’re the Only Martial Artist?

Sergeant Gao and the others saw Ye Lingchen’s actions and shouted immediately due to fear.

In their eyes, Ye Lingchen was just an ordinary person, so walking up to the man was no different from having one foot in a grave.

However, Ye Lingchen did not seem to hear their shouts. He continued advancing toward the burly man without looking back.

The burly man had a sturdy body and a dark face. One glance was enough to tell that he was not a good character. In comparison, Ye Lingchen was much too ordinary.

He was just a college student!

The thought of what Ye Lingchen would face next made Sergeant Gao and the others tremble uncontrollably.

“Hm?”

The burly man also looked rather keenly at Ye Lingchen. “You’re the first person to remain calm in this situation. Very good! In just a moment, I’ll give you a dignified death and make it more painless for you.”

“You’re that confident of dealing with me?” Ye Lingchen’s faint opening remark displayed immense loftiness. He exuded an aura that faintly opposed that of the burly man.

He was so composed that his entire person was like the calm surface of a lake.

“Oh? Looks like you don’t know how puny you are.” The burly man clearly relished other people’s fear. He lifted his foot slightly and slammed it onto the ground!

Boom!

The earth roared as if an iron block had crashed onto the ground from the sky. A second look revealed an inch-deep footprint that was imprinted on the ground!

Gasp!

Li Hu gasped in surprise. That powerful destructive power was more easily perceived than being hit.

The area was not a soft sandy road. It was extremely strong, and if that foot was stepped on a person’s body, it was sufficient to leave a massive hole!

The burly man sneered and looked at Ye Lingchen, but was disappointed to find that his opponent’s eyes were still calm. There were faint traces of disappointment, even.

Ye Lingchen shook his head and his voice was indifferent. “Meh.”

Ye Lingchen’s voice reached everyone’s ears, and for a moment, they all had a feeling of panic. All they felt was numbness in their scalps, as though it was going to explode; they even forgot how to breathe.

The boy’s courage was too impressive. A person’s life was like an ant in front of that martial artist, yet he still had the guts to say that.

It was all over…

They could not help but close their eyes and sigh. It was too difficult to look at the scene again.

Sure enough, the burly man’s eyes widened suddenly and his vigor suddenly surged up. “Little brat, I will teach you a sentence before you die, a martial artist…must not be humiliated!”

The clothes on his body began moving despite the absence of wind. Sparking sounds were heard, following which he formed his five fingers into a claw. He was like a fierce tiger descending the hill, while his power was akin to lightning.

Previously, a gentle shake of his hand crushed Li Hu’s leg bones. An ordinary person’s body was like tofu to the man—Ye Lingchen’s bones might be crushed into pieces if he confronted that claw!

“Sigh, this kid is helpless. Xu Nan, just quickly run away!” Li Hu shook his head and sighed.

Sergeant Gao turned away and could not bear to look.

He regretted bringing Ye Lingchen over. It was a life lost in vain.

“I won’t go.” Xu Nan shook his head with a firm tone of voice, she said, “My master really is powerful. He has never lost yet!”

Even if he truly was strong, the opponent’s strength had already exceeded human imagination. Was she still expecting him to win?

No one was optimistic about Ye Lingchen and they all felt sadness in their heart. They had only themselves to blame for underestimating the other party and failing to make enough preparations.

Faced with the burly man’s claw, Ye Lingchen moved suddenly too. He also raised a hand and flexed his fingers into claws, then brandished them violently!

There was nothing too striking about his claw and it looked soft, just like that of any ordinary person.

However, when his claw collided with the burly man’s claw, Ye Lingchen’s five fingers landed sharply and locked the man’s five fingers firmly!

“How can this be?!”

The burly man exclaimed in shock. All he felt was the young man’s hand strength surpassing his imaginations. It was as though they were made from iron wire, and the sharpness of his five fingers was as unbreakable as hawk talons!

His playful smile finally froze and he could no longer remain calm. His legs retreated sharply, and the claw that was being held became soft. He wanted to slide out, and at the same time, he raised his other hand and pried Ye Lingchen’s hand away!

However, before he could retreat, a sharp sound broke through the air and another claw reached for his waist at thunderous speed!

Rip!

Ye Lingchen’s claws grabbed onto the burly man’s waist. Clothing debris flew over and penetrated the clothes, leaving a deep five-finger bloodstain on the waist of the burly man!

Ye Lingchen had no nails at all, but the power of his five fingers was like a weapon.

The burly man retreated!

Despite his retreat, Ye Lingchen’s speed was much faster. His hands morphed into countless afterimages, and the entire air was densely covered in claw marks, like a group of eagles besieging a human being. It was impenetrable!

Rip!

Under the disbelieved gaze of Sergeant Gao and the others, the burly man’s body rolled in the air a few times and flew away, hitting a tree and falling to the ground.

That, that…

The atmosphere was deadly silent!

Everyone was stunned right then and there; their faces were filled with confusion.

Li Hu was staring so intensely till his eyes nearly popped out. He could not believe what he just saw with his own eyes. Sergeant Gao’s mouth widened and his chin almost dropped to the ground.

Only Xu Nan, who had a look of surprise on her face, knew that her master would not let her down.

In the woods, the burly man staggered up from the ground and looked at Ye Lingchen in horror. He was in a miserable state.

Under everyone’s shocked eyes, Ye Lingchen stood up with his hands behind his back. His mouth was slanted slightly and he grinned. “Who said that you’re the only martial artist?”

Moonlight shone all over the teen as if covering him in a glowing layer and trapping everyone in a trance.

The burly man who made everyone desperate was toppled to the ground by Ye Lingchen. Such a result exceeded everyone’s expectations, and the sharp contrast made their mouths dry and speechless.

“He’s really a master martial artist!” Someone could not help but exclaim.

They also remembered Xu Nan’s words. In the beginning, they were all skeptical about Xu Nan’s master, and it was only then that they realized he was truly a master of martial arts!

Li Hu struggled to swallow his saliva. It turned out that Ye Lingchen was not pretending—he truly was formidable! The thought of him deliberately challenging a martial arts master made Li Hu feel bitter in his heart.

“You… You’re also a martial artist!”

The burly man did not care about the wounds on his body, but his eyes narrowed sharply as he stared at Ye Lingchen. The man’s eyes were both cold and shocked. It truly surpassed his expectations to see a master of martial arts at such a young age.

However, he did not believe that he was any inferior to Ye Lingchen. Ye Lingchen simply managed to seize the opportunity due to his carelessness. Having immersed in martial arts for decades, the man was confident that he could deal with that little kid.
