The series of exchange in punches continued for a second time with Yun Che still possessing the upper hand each time.
" Junior Brother, you seem a little weak. We shall try again once you break through in a few days." Yun Che said.
" No need! Let's continue!" Futian said not feeling anyway displeased or despised.
Brother Yun's strength is greater than mine by a small margin. Even though it is small, it creates a big difference and result in each exchange. His strength is not easy to encounter but that may be different when it comes to speed.
Analysing the situation at hand, Futian opted to go for a speed strength exchange.
In a short moment, Yun Che's punch was about to collide with Futian's when his real body disappeared. The punch landed onto a residual image. Amused by the turn in strategy, Yun Che uncovered that he had been tricked. Knowing that the attack had been in vain, Yun Che didn't look back as he immediately went into retreat.
A sense of crisis emerged from the back forcing him to tilt his head downwards and continued to make a loop backward jump. Futian's body flew over as he landed down.
" Junior Brother, that's not fair! How could you change strategy without giving me any hint about it. That's cheating."
" How can your enemy tell you about his tactics?" Futian said with a smile.
" How can you say that? You are breaking my heart!"
" Don't forget what master said!"
" Aaaah! What did he say? Did you meet him?"
" Of course not! But you once told me that he told you this 'Respect is earned but never gained!' "
" F**k you!" Yun Che cursed. That was total disrespect to your senior. How could that be different from biting the hand that fed you.
With that, Yun Che attacked with an another furious attack seemingly more powerful compared to before.
Futian didn't dare meet it head on as he immediately dodged with the speed aspect to the side. Yun Che didn't give him rest as he immediately launched another attack. Futian cursed inwardly as he eloped away into the air. But Yun Che seemed to have speculated that it was going to happen as he followed in pursuit.
As time went on, Futian seemed to get frustrated. Even though he had successfully invaded all the coming attacks. He was just like a target that had been locked onto by Yun Che. No matter how much he fled or dodged, Yun Che would always find him with a stronger punch.
Following the frustration, Futian decided to face his enemy. Alas! that was one of the regrets he sooner acquired.
" Come on!" Futian shouted ready to face the incoming blow as he channeled all the remaining spiritual energy into his punch to the extreme. If one looked closely, his aura was more like that of a wild beast with his muscles, veins and sinews protruding out of the skin.
Looking at the foe and aura before him, Yun Che didn't look dispirited anymore and an even greater energy but forth from his body. His battle intent was escalated to the maxima.
Boom!
A loud explosion emerged as the two punches met. Futian flew backwards just like an arrow being fired while Yun Che quietened down. Yun Che's situation was more like a fierce wild beast on rampage cooling down immediately after sensing a crisis. Or a car engine that goes silent after a long duration of noise making.
Futian could feel his arm weak,numb and flabby from the impact. His internal injuries seemed severe as he immediately puked three mouthfuls of blood simultaneously. His face was pale and covered in pain.
" Hey! What happened here?" A voice sounded. Slowly, the dust settled revealing three figures, Jiang Cheng, Qian Lu and Ju-Hui.
What was before them was a sight to behold! The domineering and overpowering Futian that always made them look small and insignificant in cultivation was looking almost half dead and pretty much injured. His face was pale and his hand not any better.
" Is that Junior Brother?" Jiang Cheng asked in disbelief.
" Who else could it be?" Qian Lu retorted.
" That should be fourth brother!"
On hearing his name, Yun Che felt a sweetness emerge from his throat but quickly forced it back. He couldn't allow to loose face in front of his juniors. How was he supposed to explain that the fresher had left serious internal wounds.
" We missed such a great spar!" Jiang Cheng said.
" You call this a great spar!" Ju-Hui said with a sarcastic tone.
" What do you mean Sister?" Qian Lu asked in confusion.
" This can't be called a spar! It is more of a life and death fight!" She said.
" Right!" the two simultaneously agreed upon looking at Futian and Yun Che.
Looking at his juniors were effortlessly making stupid conclusions. Yun Che couldn't help but puke a mouthful of blood.
" Hey! Senior Brother seemed to have been seriously injured too!"
" Yeah! Junior Brother is always awesome! He won't leave any toddler learning to walk with making him move a step!"
Puke! Yun Che puked yet another mouthful of blood. Who had they just called a toddler. You are the toddler! Your father is a toddler! Your whole family is full of toddlers! Yun Che couldn't help but curse inwardly.
" In a single month, Junior Brother has defeated four of the cottage disciples!"
" Right! Junior Brother is a dragon amongst Dragons!"
Puke! Listening to the conversation, Yun Che couldn't but yet puke another mouthful of blood.
Do you guys have eyes? Futian is the one lying down not me. Isn't that enough to tell you who has won the fight? Are you guys even listening to yourselves? Yun Che was almost on the verge of shading tears.
" Let's go help Junior Brother!" Qian Lu said to Ju-Hui.
" You go help senior brother!"
Not waiting for further response, Qian Lu together with Ju-Hui headed towards weak Futian.
" Help me support him!" Qian Lu said as they held cross legged Futian.
With Ju-Hui at the front and Qian Lu at the back, the duo began transferring their spiritual energy into Futian.
Another shocking event happened before they could even proceed.
" Aaaaaah! " A scream escaped from Qian Lu.
