Holy Fist!

Chapter 418 You are the challenger!
"The Dragon Elephant Pavilion Master and the Lion King..."

“Who will win?”

Under the pavilion.

Yanlong, with his red hair, looked into the distance and spoke softly.

"Hard to say."

The old man in white's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of curiosity in them.

Lion King Kave, from the United States of Saint Luo, was groomed by the Holy Lion Clan from a young age to become the next Lion King. He practiced the Holy Lion Fist, developing a powerful and arrogant spirit in his teens, each punch and kick exuding an inexplicable domineering aura. From the age of sixteen, he swept aside his opponents in every competition, winning the championship. He was never defeated in battles against his peers. He advanced rapidly, entering the ranks of the pinnacle of his school's masters.

The people of the United States of Saint Luo believed that he had a certain chance of reaching the legendary Grandmaster realm in the future. Once, Lion King Kavi and three other top masters of various schools were known as the Four Heroes of the North, but later he gradually fell behind, and slowly no one called him by that nickname anymore, instead calling him Lion King or Holy Lion.

This shows that Lion King Kavi was no ordinary master of the pinnacle style!
Generally speaking, he should have a better chance of winning this match.

"However, Bai Xiao is too mysterious. Not only did he recently kill a top-level sect leader, but his display of external martial arts skills has also amazed Shan Quan. I even have reason to suspect that he might be the reincarnation of a grandmaster... otherwise, how could he have reached the peak level in such a short time?"

The elderly man in white raised his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

That's what I was thinking.

While several top-tier experts were chatting idly and watching the battle from afar...

On the open ground.

The white owl and the lion king, fifty meters apart, slowly came to a stop.

It is located near the South Lake.

The Lion King's body was as strong as that of the statue of Apollo, its bronze-colored skin gleaming with a metallic sheen in the sunlight. Its chest, over three feet wide, bulged with trapezius muscles cast in bronze. Especially striking was its head of golden curly hair, like the mane of a lion in a rage, the ends of which shimmered with tiny golden light.

From a distance, it looks like a majestic lion gazing down with arrogance!

And the side closer to the bamboo forest.

Bai Xiao was even taller and more imposing than the Lion King. He wore a black and gold combat suit, sharply tailored. The gold-studded dragons and elephants shimmered in the sunlight, seemingly roaring at their peak. Although Bai Xiao's face was expressionless, he exuded an indescribable aura of domineering authority.

The two faced each other from a distance, their intense auras clashing, each displaying their sharpest edge and showing no sign of yielding. The air currents twisted rapidly, forming vortexes.

"In Saint Luo, no one has dared to challenge me for a long time..."

The Lion King's eyes narrowed slightly, and his upper body seemed to swell subtly. His golden hair danced in the wind like a lion's mane, exuding a powerful aura.

"Heh, are you taking this as me challenging you?"

Bai Xiao slowly raised his head, his eyes completely black.

"But actually……"

"You are the challenger!"

The words were spoken in less than half a second.

"call out!"

A figure vanished in an instant, moving at an unbelievable speed. From afar, the afterimages left in the air, combined with the wisps of compressed white air around them, resembled ethereal, otherworldly shadows. On the ground, golden lotus phantoms bloomed one by one.

Immortal Shadow Lotus Stepping Technique!
In an instant, Lion King Kawi's pupils contracted violently.

Ahead, a powerful body, like a meteorite traveling at incredible speed, pierced through the atmosphere, squeezing and rubbing against the air, leaving behind a trail of golden-red sparks. Its arms were raised high, white energy swirling around them, and its five fingers were clenched into fists.

"call out!"

"Oh!"

The Lion King raised his arms, and golden energy surged forth.

"boom!!!"

The next second, his entire body was forcefully propelled away by a soaring phantom of a waterbird, his feet scraping across the ground like pile drivers. His golden aura exploded, dissipating like a stream of light.

"despair!"

He stomped his left foot on the ground, creating a deep crater.

The lion stopped retreating and took a deep breath.

"Is that top-tier lightness skill!?"

"boom!"

In that instant, a tall, golden phantom appeared beside him. A punch pierced the air in front of him, creating a vacuum tunnel. The violent force of the punch whipped up the Lion King's clothes, creating ripples and wrinkles, the compressed air arriving even before Bai Xiao's fist.

"Roar!"

The Lion King instantly entered battle mode, as if a sacred lion had descended, his claws, burning with raging flames, transformed into tightly clenched fists.

"Oh!"

Flamelight threw a punch, which intercepted the trajectory of White Owl's fist.

The two fist imprints collided suddenly, creating circular shockwaves in mid-air, and even bursts of golden-red flames. It was as if their fists were not made of flesh and blood, but some kind of hardened metal forged through countless hammer blows.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

next second.

The two exchanged rapid blows, fists clashing and arms colliding, displaying terrifying combat experience and incredibly solid fundamentals. Any part of their body—elbow, shoulder, knee, foot, back—could be transformed into an extremely deadly weapon. This is the ultimate interpretation of martial arts by peak masters: reacting at the limit every time, finding the best response in an instant.

At that moment, the two were like ancient ferocious beasts, and the terrifying sound of their hands and feet colliding was like an explosive blast, tearing the entire ground to pieces.

Everywhere was full of potholes and mud was flying everywhere.

"Oh!"

The two figures flashed and collided once more.

Bai Xiao's punch, swift as lightning, first forcefully deflected Lion King Kavi's blocking arm, then bypassed the defensive line formed by his other arm, piercing through with extreme sharpness. With a thud, it struck Lion King's shoulder.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The blond figure shuddered and stumbled back more than ten steps. Deep pits were etched into the ground behind him, and the soil was compressed into wavy shapes.

"His combat experience is nothing like that of a young man in his twenties! I've only ever seen such masterful skill in my master..."

The Lion King felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He originally intended to engage Bai Xiao in close-quarters combat, using melee fighting techniques to gain the upper hand. After all, Lion King had been practicing martial arts since he was ten years old, and now, at over fifty, he possessed more than forty years of experience. He was already twice the age of Bai Xiao, undoubtedly giving him a natural advantage.

However, when the two actually started fighting, he realized that his thinking was completely wrong. Bai Xiao's close-quarters combat and fighting skills were more abundant, more concise, more ruthless, and more brutal than his own. Every move seemed to be the optimal solution in that situation, as well as the fastest way to kill, and even revealed an extremely eerie beauty.

That was something called returning to simplicity that Kavi had vaguely seen in his master, the old lion king, before his death.

"If we play normally, I can't outlast him."

Lion King Kavi realized this instantly.

In a normal battle, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage against Bai Xiao. To change the situation, he could only use powerful secret weapons and techniques to compensate.

"call out!"

Ahead, the golden figure rushed over again, then suddenly flashed.

"Sacred Lion Fist!"

Without hesitation, Kavi was the first to succumb and unleash his core secret weapon. A golden hue suddenly emanated from the contours of his muscles, causing them to bulge violently. The sleeves on his arms burst open on the spot, revealing his massively expanding arms, with power surging out like a torrent.

"Roar!" In the void, it seemed as if a majestic lion had descended. Its mane shone with golden light, exuding majesty and arrogance, looking like a golden statue. The Holy Lion roared, instantly merging with the Lion King.

The two overlapped instantly.

Kavi's arms seemed to transform into golden lion claws, his hands growing larger than his head, his scythe-like claws burning with sacred flames.

"kill!"

"Lion King Claw!"

He took a step forward, extending a claw that suddenly ripped through the air with a sharp, piercing sound. The next second, a second claw followed closely behind.

Their movements, one after the other, were just like a lion pouncing on its prey.

The colossal phantom of the holy lion, formed from concentrated energy, slammed heavily into Bai Xiao, pinning him to the ground. The earth rumbled, crisscrossing with ravines.

Five long, narrow claw marks were deeply embedded in the ground!

The raging flames distorted the air in the surrounding area.

"Kakakaka..."

In the deep pit.

Lion King Kavi, who had pounced on White Owl, showed no joy on his face; instead, his expression grew even more solemn. His powerful arms, more than twice their initial size, were flushed and engorged with blood, their veins twisting and crawling like tiny snakes. Yet, when these arms, almost deformed in their quest for power, struck White Owl's body, the response was as solid as a city wall. The golden light enveloping his chest remained unmoved.

The enormous impact was completely swallowed up, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"The Lion Seal of the Sacred Flame!"

A sharp glint flashed in Kavi's eyes, and he conjured a phantom image resembling a fiery lion on his arms, which was about to fall with terrifying power.

"Roar! Moo!"

Below, at the bottom of the deep pit.

Suddenly, five golden, shimmering phantom dragons and ten azure-colored divine elephant phantoms soared into the sky, sweeping across the land with unstoppable force. The violent power, like a flood bursting its banks, forcefully sent Kavi flying.

"Boom! Boom!"

A giant golden shadow flew up at the same time.

He stood silently beside the pit, like a golden statue.

"If this is all you've got..."

"Well, I'm sorry."

"Next, I will shatter your pathetic pride inch by inch!"

Bai Xiao remained expressionless, his body completely unscathed. It was as if he had deliberately tried to withstand the attack with his bare body, wanting to test the power of the Holy Lion Fist. Now it seemed, it wasn't all that impressive.

"Hehehe..."

He chuckled softly as he slowly walked towards Kavi.

The intense sense of oppression and domineering presence gradually revealed an extremely wicked villainous aura. He didn't seem like a righteous person at all.

"Unleash your martial will!"

Do I have to force you?

The golden light emanating from Bai Xiao's body grew increasingly intense, with the five dragons and ten elephants operating wildly, roaring and clashing. The platinum-gold aura flowing behind him surged and churned, displaying a density and weight that had been refined to the extreme.

"Crazy!!!"

In the distance, even the lion king Kavi, who had landed heavily on the ground, couldn't hold back any longer.

White Owl was even more arrogant than him, and extremely aggressive!
"The Kunpeng Devouring the Dragon"

"Demon Fist!"

Bai Xiao wasn't just talking; he put his words into action. A massive black and gold phantom seemed to flash around him, resembling both a giant Kun and a Peng bird. Terrifying power descended, and a forbidden aura enveloped him.

Black flames ignited in his fists, which were as big as sandbags.

"call out!"

He lunged forward, his powerful arm swinging in a domineering arc, crashing down on Lion King Kavi like a mountain collapsing. On his right fist, amidst the flames, a condensed phantom of a Kunpeng suddenly appeared.

"Oh!"

The Kunpeng Devouring Dragon Diagram's Demonic Fist state possesses immense power and unleashes a ferocious impact.

Lion King Kavi, after exchanging only one punch with White Owl, had his entire right arm bones cracking as if firecrackers had exploded. He was sent flying uncontrollably to the side, only managing to stop himself after using techniques to deflect the impact.

"Oh!"

However, at this time...

The ever-present White Owl delivered another punch, swift as lightning.

With lightning-fast reflexes, his attack was so quick that Lion King Kavi could only block half of the attack in his haste. The other half struck his body, tearing his fighting suit and splattering blood.

"call out!"

The Lion King flew out again; he was injured!
"The Lion Seal of the Sacred Flame!!!"

Facing the white owl charging forward for the third time, the Lion King's aura, covering his arms, burned fiercely. The moment he unleashed his attack, it was like a fiery lion pouncing forth. A deafening roar unleashed its peak power!
however……

"Oh!"

The lion king was sent flying again, and in an even worse state than before.

His arms were broken, blood gushing out, his skin torn and bleeding. He felt as if he had been crushed by a giant dragon, with no chance of resistance whatsoever.

The Sacred Flame Lion Seal, which had been unleashed, was instantly shattered and torn to pieces by a colossal, dark abyss whale that blotted out the sky. There was no mysterious or supernatural power involved; it was simply because Bai Xiao's power was unimaginably immense.

Lion King suspected that the other party could easily collapse half of South Lake with a single punch!
"Whoosh!"

In mid-air, Kavi flew out at lightning speed.

Behind them, a golden figure streaked across the air in a parabolic arc, rapidly closing in.

"Oh!"

Kavi landed heavily, creating a large crater.

He hadn't even had a chance to stand up again.

"Boom!"

Above, a ghostly face rapidly approached, its golden pupils devoid of emotion. Bai Xiao seemed possessed by a celestial being; two terrifying powers coalesced into savage beasts that circled his body like planets orbiting a star. Within them, a golden dragon shadow and two platinum-colored elephant shadows flew out simultaneously!
They intertwined and entwined downwards, then erupted simultaneously!

It was as if streaks of dazzling white-gold light exploded on the ground.

Lion King Kawi felt enveloped by an overwhelming and terrifying aura, his wounds continued to bleed, and every hair on his body stood on end.

A malicious voice rang out from above.

"If you don't want to use your martial will, then don't use it."

"Just die!"
