Chen Hong felt a hint of curiosity in his heart.
He closed his eyes.
Full of an ethereal aura.
Chen Shumíng paused for a moment, then continued to unleash terrifying attacks.
In a short while, the surrounding trees were reduced to ashes.
Scattered with broken wood fragments, the scene gave an impression of chaos.
Yet, even so, Chen Hong remained completely unharmed.
No different from a person who had experienced nothing.
Chen Hong's mind was active as he speculated on the identity of the black-clothed man before him, and he said coldly, "Are you perhaps from the Chen clan?"
Chen Shumíng paid no heed.
His eyes held only killing intent.
He continued to advance.
Striking with fatal force.
With a palm, he fiercely slashed towards Chen Hong.
This strike, imbued with inner energy, carried immense power.
Facing such an assault, Chen Hong raised his left arm, easily blocking it.
His arms formed a cross.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate.
Inner energy surged as well.
Because their strength was evenly matched, this was the situation that arose.
A contest of strength.
In a short while, their powers fully collided.
Resisting!
It was the most direct contest of inner energy.
Whoosh, whoosh…
Inner energy surged wildly, in a state of mutual stalemate and resistance.
As time passed, inner energy was also consumed.
"Today, I want to see how long you can maintain this stalemate!" Chen Hong provocatively said at this moment.
Chen Shumíng retorted coldly, "Until you can't anymore!"
"Come on!"
"Come..."
Thus, the two engaged in a battle of inner energy.
Around their bodies, it was as if a thin film had gathered, colliding with each other.
After a while longer, Chen Hong felt that continuing the stalemate was not an option, so he suddenly retracted his force and sent out a palm strike to create distance.
With a stomp of his foot, Chen Hong established a safe distance from Chen Shumíng.
Chen Shumíng also withdrew his inner energy at this moment, staring coldly at Chen Hong, his killing intent undiminished by even a fraction.
Chen Hong could sense it and also see it; at this moment, he felt a touch of bewilderment.
That was, why did this fellow before him harbor such intense hatred towards him?
It was truly incomprehensible!
Chen Hong continued, "Our strengths are evenly matched, tell me... what is this all about?"
Chen Shumíng repeated his earlier statement, "I don't need any reason to kill you!"
He didn't stop, continuing his attack.
At this moment, his body shot towards Chen Hong like a cannonball.
However, Chen Hong dodged it with great agility.
Chen Shumíng, like a cannonball, crashed through more than ten trees before stopping, but his body remained unharmed.
Seeing this, Chen Hong let out a cold laugh, "Fool!"
Chen Shumíng paused for a moment, then quickly pursued with another strike, a punch delivered from above.
The power contained within this blow was equally terrifying.
At this moment, Chen Hong's arms formed a cross, accompanied by surging inner energy, creating a protective barrier.
Thud, thud, thud...
They collided.
Chen Hong's feet sank a few inches into the ground, but he still managed to block Chen Shumíng's attack.
Immediately after, he reached out, grabbed Chen Shumíng's wrist, and violently flung him to the side.
Chen Shumíng's body tilted at this moment, and he fell...
Soon, Chen Hong pursued, his foot sliding fiercely, and he kicked Chen Shumíng, forcing him to stagger back several steps.
Chen Shumíng rubbed his chest, then patted it, "It's fine, again!"
Thus, the two engaged in a life-and-death struggle, a contest that was anything but ordinary.
Whoosh, whoosh...
