Chapter 445 A Grandiose Show
Pow!
After an ear-splitting boom, the young man’s face turned ashen as he retreated speedily, resulting in deep scratch marks on the ground.
His hands trembled uncontrollably, and there were flickers of extreme fear in his eyes. Rocky had almost shattered the young man’s defensive shield with just one punch!
The young man gasped, “Rocky, I’m in awe of you! I—”
Rocky cut him off by shrieking impatiently, “Enough of that!”
Seconds later, a shrill resounded the entire place as he flung another punch toward the young man.
Thunderstruck, the latter’s heart skipped a beat. Without wasting any second, he turned to run for his life. Initially, he thought of raising the white flag, but he had a feeling that Rocky would not stop throwing deadly punches at him till he met his end!
Sadly, he was not in time to dodge Rocky’s deadly punch. It landed on his back heavily the moment he turned, sending him flying!
There was a ghastly splatter of blood in the air as blood spewed out of the young man’s mouth. The next second, he landed clumsily on the ground below the arena and breathed his last breath without even having the chance to let out a single yowl.
“It’s a match of life and death in the arena! Who else dares to challenge me?” A cold-blooded Rocky squealed after flashing a haughty glance at everyone below the arena. He did not even spare any glance at the young man’s lifeless body on the ground.
Rocky’s haughtiness sent the crowd into a frenzy. Filled with anger, the young man’s relatives could not wait to avenge him. Nonetheless, there was nothing they could do due to the age restriction. Regardless of how skillful they were, they were not allowed to step onto the arena as long as their age exceeded the maximum age limit. Thus, they could only glare at Rocky in intense resentment.
Meanwhile, the elderly seated in the arena furrowed their brows at Rocky’s ruthlessness. Nonetheless, they could not voice anything as it was common for martial artists to sustain injuries or even meet their tragic ends in the arena.
“Anyone else dares to challenge him?” Spencer asked abruptly, devoid of expression.
Hearing that, Jesse was about to head onto the arena, but Jared stood in his way. “Don’t act impulsively. His combat prowess is better than yours. Let’s wait for him to use up his energy fighting a few more rounds with other opponents first.”
Jesse had no choice but to step backward. In the meantime, another martial artist stepped onto the arena to challenge Rocky.
The match continued. More and more martial artists stepped onto the arena to challenge Rocky. However, they were no match for him. Either they met their end or sustained severe injuries. Panic-stricken, the other young martial artists, who were thinking of challenging him, remained rooted to the ground.
Rocky’s combat prowess seemed to have reached the same level as the Internal Energy Grandmaster. Undeniably, the centurial premium herb was irresistible. Even so, it was still not worth it to put one’s life on the line to fight for it.
Rocky turned in the direction where Jared and the others were seated with a snigger. “Hmph! It seems everyone from Extreme Fist Gym has chickened out. So are you planning to be cowards till the end?”
“Rocky! Watch your mouth!” Unable to stifle his simmering fury, Jesse rushed onto the arena like a bolt of lightning.
Wearing a look of sheer contempt, Rocky scoffed, “Haha! At least there’s still a courageous punk like you! Even though I’ve gone through many rounds continuously, it’s still a piece of cake for me to defeat you!”
“Stop talking b*llshit! Strike now!” Jesse fumed and sprang himself up in an instant, throwing a powerful fist toward Rocky.
Jesse had thrown a powerful punch, wooshing from a precise angle. While he was high up in the sky momentarily, he grabbed the opportunity to engulf his opponent with the afterimage of his fist.
Rocky’s lips contorted into a smirk as he glanced at Jesse disdainfully. “Hmph! What a waste of breath on a grandiose show!”
The next second, he shot up with a punch, resulting in turbulence in the air. Within seconds, the afterimage of Jesse’s fist vanished. Consequently, both of their fists ended up colliding with each other.
Bam!
After an ear-splitting collision, Jesse dropped onto the arena at a mind-blowing speed and staggered three steps backward. As he felt a tingling numbness on his arm, he stared at Rocky in utter disbelief.
“Punk, you’re undoubtedly incomparable to me. Don’t you think it’s just your wishful thinking to be the champion, huh?” Rocky snickered and started throwing explosive punches at Jesse.
At that moment, Jesse was in a precarious state. There was nothing he could do to defend against Rocky’s massive attack. As his arms turned numb due to the latter’s powerful punches, he could only stagger backward!
