Chapter 51 – Pure Power Contest (Part Two)

Li Xiao shifted his footing, evading the incoming palm strike with lightning speed, yet still underestimated his opponent’s combat adaptability.

In the next instant, Tank’s Iron Palm missed its mark, and he immediately clenched his fist again, launching a horizontal smash toward Li Xiao’s waist.

Seeing the ferocious assault, Li Xiao dropped into a low crouch, guarding with crossed fists.

But just as Li Xiao began to rise, intending to counterattack, he was met with yet another iron fist!

The speed was like a shooting star—so swift it allowed no time for reaction.

With no time to think, Li Xiao could only cross his arms in full defense.

Whoosh—BOOM!

A terrifying force erupted, roaring like war drums, deafening to the ears.

In the next moment, Li Xiao lost control of his posture, lifted off his feet by the explosive impact until he was forced back with nowhere to retreat.

The sequence happened so quickly that the audience couldn’t help but gasp inwardly.

No one had expected that Tank, with his bear-like build, could conceal such agile and explosive power.

At this, Tank grinned widely, took a step forward, and leaped into the air.

BOOM!

The entire Arena seemed to struggle under the astonishing force, rumbling and shaking violently.

Simultaneously, Li Xiao sharply raised his piercing eyes, bristling with rage as he extended his arms. Using minimal force to deflect the powerful kick, he twisted his entire body and spun, actually leveraging the momentum to hurl Tank through the air!

CRASH!!!

As the explosive sound reverberated across the hall, everyone involuntarily rose to their feet.

“Look! Senior Brother Li is absolutely ruthless… Hahaha… Truly worthy of the title Jeet Kune Do Successor!!”

“That big black bear may have brute strength, but he’s no match for Senior Brother Li’s agile Movement Technique. Thrilling… absolutely thrilling…”

“Senior Brother Li is Senior Brother Li—he doesn’t act lightly, but when he does, it’s with overwhelming dominance. Majestic! Heroic! Senior Brother Li, give it your all!!”

“Roar, roar, roar…”

It could be said that the long-suppressed excitement of the crowd erupted in waves of uproar, shaking the entire venue.

The roaring momentum seemed to lift the roof of the Grand Martial Hall, echoing relentlessly and stunning everyone present!

Even the members of Qilin Hall were not idle, shouting excitedly as if they were the ones who had taken down Tank.

Seeing this, Tie Feng’s furrowed brows finally relaxed.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao, seizing the advantage, pressed on relentlessly. Darting forward amid the clamor, he unleashed his full ferocity.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians, spanning the front and back of the human body, together form the Fourteen Primary Meridians. As Li Xiao’s fists rained down like a storm, they unleashed soul-shaking power.

Tank, who had just gotten to his feet, instantly became a target for the flurry of fists!

Whoosh—BOOM! Thud, thud, thud…

As the arena grew increasingly heated, Li Xiao’s punching speed became even more astonishing. To the eye, there was only an endless barrage of fist meeting flesh; to the ear, only thunderous impacts.

“Break it up! Stop!”

Iron Hand, witnessing the scene, felt a chill down his spine and had no choice but to halt the frenzy.

Li Xiao, now standing firm, let his imposing aura vanish in an instant. He gave the impression of a primordial beast—unmoving as a mountain, but capable of causing cataclysm once stirred.

The four elevated platforms.Seeing this scene, the Jeet Kune Do Temple Master also laughed: “Brother Silver Wolf, I concede defeat.”

Upon hearing this, Silver Wolf’s expressionless face suddenly broke into a smile: “Hehe… Is that so?”

The Jeet Kune Do Hall Master immediately grew suspicious upon hearing this, but his attention was drawn back to the arena by exclamations from the crowd.

Tank, who had collapsed, was actually climbing to his feet again amidst everyone’s stunned gazes!

Not only was the Jeet Kune Do Hall Master frozen in shock, but the entire crowd also wore expressions of disbelief.

Tank: “That hurts like hell… You’re absolutely despicable. I’ve decided—I’m going to tear your arms off!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a wild, beastly aura innate to him suddenly enveloped the area, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

In contrast, Li Xiao’s expression shifted instantly, becoming extremely grave.

The reason was simple: Jeet Kune Do, renowned for its domineering power, had failed to defeat his opponent, who seemed to still have fight left in him.

At this realization, even someone as formidable as Li Xiao was shocked.

Tank’s gaze also changed, becoming as aggressive as a predator spotting its prey.

Roar, roar, roar!

Amidst the furious roars, Tank advanced step by step.

The eight-meter space for movement grew increasingly smaller, and Li Xiao, breaking from his usual style…

At this point, if he allowed his opponent to gradually shrink the arena’s range of motion, the consequences would be dire.

Li Xiao tightened his fists, then charged forward decisively, launching an attack with his entire body and fists.

On the other hand, Tank, seeing his opponent dare to advance, narrowed his bull-like eyes as a flash of menace vanished within them. He raised his large, pipa-shaped hand into a fist and struck out in a furious blow.

Li Xiao swiftly tilted his head, narrowly evading the long punch, then stepped forward, using his shoulder and arms to brace against Tank’s thick arm while delivering a flurry of wild strikes.

After landing three punches, Li Xiao’s assault came to an abrupt halt…

It wasn’t that Li Xiao couldn’t target his opponent’s midsection again, but he had no choice but to stop his attack.

The reason: the force behind Tank’s downward-pressing arm suddenly intensified, enough to bend even a steel bar.

One could only imagine how ferocious the power contained within was!

Tank: “If this is all the strength you have, you might as well let me twist your arms off obediently.”

Then, his tone shifted to a chilling roar: “Kneel before me!!!”

Nearly everyone present heard these words, and while they seethed with indignation, they were powerless to intervene.

They could only watch helplessly as Tank laughed arrogantly and Li Xiao gradually bent under the pressure.

“Damn it, a warrior would rather die than be humiliated. Does this guy have no martial virtue at all?”

“Senior Brother Li! Surrender… There’s no shame in it. Anyone would struggle against this brute—no one will blame you.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? If Senior Brother Li loses, we’ll never be able to hold our heads high again!”

“So you’d just stand by and watch Senior Brother Li endure such humiliation? Are you even human? If you have the guts, go up there yourselves!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Amidst the heated arguments, Li Xiao and Tank were locked in a contest of pure strength, testing their power against each other!
