Chapter 42: Indecision

“Hmph, you’re asking for death!!” Liu Hong shouted.

Ever since he mastered the ‘Ghost Fist’, he believed that no practitioner below the Martial Spirit Realm could be his match.

Though this youth’s movement technique was strange, it only allowed him to dodge his attacks.

Prevention was better than cure, he thought. He was eager to see how long the youth could dodge his attacks.

“Die!” Liu Hong roared, continuously launching punches at Wang Xiaofei.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaofei used the ‘Phoenix Wings’ movement technique, evading Liu Hong’s attacks while seizing opportunities to strike back.

However, Liu Hong’s attacks were incredibly elusive, leaving no trace. Thus, Wang Xiaofei couldn’t close in on him.

Attacks from a distance posed little threat to Liu Hong, so Wang Xiaofei found himself mostly in a defensive position.

“Hmph, kid, prolonged defense leads to defeat. Let’s see how long you can hold on. Once over half your qi is spent, your speed will decline. At that point, one punch from me will be enough to kill you,” Liu Hong sneered.

He did make a valid point.

Wang Xiaofei’s brow furrowed deeply at his words.

“Yue’er, you go first,” Wang Xiaofei shouted.

With his exceptional ‘Phoenix Wings’ speed, Wang Xiaofei could easily escape if Lin Yue’er left first.

“No, I’m not leaving,” Lin Yue’er firmly stated.

Ever since she witnessed Wang Xiaofei’s movement technique, she was amazed. She had no idea he was so formidable.

Back when they had a friendly bout, they were evenly matched. Lin Yue’er had thought their strengths were similar.

She hadn’t expected him to be so much more powerful.

Seeing his movement technique now, she reckoned she could barely withstand two or three moves from him.

Given his strength, Wang Xiaofei could easily escape alone. But he chose to stay for her sake. If she left alone now, what would that mean? That was Lin Yue’er’s initial reaction. She wanted to leave with him.

“Sigh, you go first. I can leave anytime,” Wang Xiaofei hastily explained. While he was relieved by her decision, he was confused ? Why was she still insisting on staying?

Hearing his words, Lin Yue’er realized he was right. If she left first, Wang Xiaofei could also escape. She had indeed been acting foolishly.

“Then I’ll go first. Take care,” Lin Yue’er said.

“Sure, go ahead,” Wang Xiaofei nodded.

“Hahaha.” However, Liu Hong burst into laughter.

“None of you can escape today. Kid, let me tell you, with my ‘Ghost Fist,’ I can strike any spot within a hundred meters at any time. I spared this little girl’s life because she’s useful to me. But if she runs, don’t blame me for not being courteous,” Liu Hong sneered.

Oh my goodness!

Hearing Liu Hong’s words, Wang Xiaofei’s brow furrowed tightly.

This was a tough situation.

Lin Yue’er couldn’t flee, and he couldn’t just abandon her.

However, Liu Hong was formidable, his techniques were powerful, and his attacks were lightning-fast. Wang Xiaofei was only holding on this long due to his ‘Phoenix Wings’ speed.

Continuing like this, he might eventually slip up and get severely injured.

It seemed he had to try the ‘Celestial Staff.’

Having never used the ‘Celestial Staff’ before, Wang Xiaofei had no idea of its effectiveness. Nevertheless, he had no other options. He had to give it a shot.

Wang Xiaofei retrieved a storage ring from his hand.

Instantly, a black radiance flickered, and the ‘Celestial Staff’ flew out of the storage ring.

“Swish.”

Before Wang Xiaofei could react, the staff, only about a foot long, vanished before his eyes.

“Oh my goodness!” Wang Xiaofei was momentarily stunned.

If he hadn’t sensed the staff nearby, he would have thought it had disappeared on its own.

In Wang Xiaofei’s perception, the ‘Celestial Staff’ was hidden in a dark corner, occasionally “peeking out,” seemingly observing Liu Hong.

Really? Why did the ‘Celestial Staff’ feel a bit sneaky?

Wang Xiaofei was quite surprised.

But thinking about the ‘Celestial Staff’’s function, being able to attack autonomously upon his command, targeting the enemy’s weakest points, observing the enemy at that moment seemed reasonable.

However, having such an “intelligent” weapon, he couldn’t help but admire the randomness of the random reward system that brought it about.

On the other side.

Seeing a black radiance fly out of Wang Xiaofei’s storage ring, Liu Hong instantly felt a hint of threat.

It was as if he was being targeted by something.

“What is it?” he asked warily.

“Something that will kill you. Let me tell you, this thing of mine is powerful. Even a Martial Spirit Realm martial artist might not withstand it,” Wang Xiaofei exaggerated upon seeing Liu Hong growing cautious. He babbled on, regardless of whether it would be effective. As long as it confused Liu Hong and made him uncertain, it was good enough.

“Tch.”

Hearing Wang Xiaofei boasting like this, Liu Hong snorted disdainfully.

He had been the pinnacle of a nine-star warrior for decades, with immensely vigorous qi. Coupled with mastering the ‘Ghost Fist,’ his attacks were elusive and rapid, rendering others defenseless.

Liu Hong was confident in himself.

Among practitioners below the Martial Spirit Realm, very few could defeat him.

Moreover, if that black radiance from earlier was truly that powerful, why didn’t this kid bring it out sooner? He’s only taking it out now, clearly revealing that he’s out of options and resorting to his last struggles. This kid was definitely just boasting.

“You don’t believe it, huh? You’re in trouble,” Wang Xiaofei pretended as if it were genuine.

However, Liu Hong didn’t believe it at all. He continued attacking Wang Xiaofei relentlessly with his fists.

His ferocious fists forced Wang Xiaofei to dart around in panic. Nonetheless, Wang Xiaofei furrowed his brows, still unable to make up his mind to use the ‘Celestial Staff’.

The ‘Celestial Staff’ could attack automatically, and its best use was in ambush. If the first attempt wasn’t successful, the next one wouldn’t be as effective.

Moreover, the ‘Celestial Staff’’s attack power wasn’t exceptionally formidable.

However, based on the information in his mind, breaking through a Nine Star Warrior’s defense shouldn’t be a problem for the ‘Celestial Staff.’

The problem was that Liu Hong’s strength clearly far exceeded that of an ordinary Nine Star Warrior. The ‘Celestial Staff’ might not be able to inflict serious injury on him.

That was also why Wang Xiaofei was hesitant.

Yet, Liu Hong’s attacks continued, one after another. Wang Xiaofei gradually felt his qi circulation becoming less smooth.

“No, I must use the ‘Celestial Staff.’ Otherwise, if I accidentally take a punch from Liu Hong, I’ll be in big trouble.” Though he had made up his mind, he couldn’t just haphazardly use the ‘Celestial Staff.’ He needed to create better conditions for it.

Therefore, Wang Xiaofei made a decision in an instant.

The next time Liu Hong’s attack came, Wang Xiaofei would pretend not to evade.

He would strike back with a punch, attempting to counter Liu Hong’s ‘Ghost Fist.’
