262: Understanding

Their battle was imminent!

In less than a second, the two combatants on the battlefield had exchanged blows dozens of times, their fists moving like a fierce storm.

The two were like tireless fighting machines! Rapidly throwing punches and wildly grappling!

Yellow sand swirled wildly across the earth, and both their faces were resolute.

But suddenly, on the seventy-eighth punch, Helden seemed to anticipate Xiao Fan's next move, turning his fist into a palm, leaning forward, and striking towards Xiao Fan's neck!

Xiao Fan barely managed to dodge, but it only shifted the point of impact from his neck to the side of his face!

Finally, he was sent flying backward, and Helden, like a cold-blooded killer, pursued him rapidly!

He shot up, raised his elbow, and said coldly, "Extreme Force!"

Xiao Fan's expression changed as he looked at that iron elbow.

He had already taken one such attack just now.

He also understood its principle: it was an Advanced form of inch force!

This was clearly the foundation of human martial Dao, yet the Alien Race King had Cultivated it to the extreme!

How absurd, don't you have martial Dao in your own home!?

Xiao Fan snorted, and a green light shimmered around him.

"Eight Gates Formation, Third Gate Open!"

The Demon King Armor inherently included the characteristics of the Eight Gates Formation; since he couldn't use the Demon King Armor now, he activated the Eight Gates Formation independently!

Xiao Fan roared, and his trajectory in mid-air suddenly changed.

But this was already basic operation; the Alien Race King had anticipated it and quickly followed like a phantom.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Two afterimages, one in front and one behind, streaked through the air.

The Alien Race King's speed was faster than Xiao Fan's.

After a chase, Xiao Fan finally had nowhere to dodge and could only take the hit!

He turned back and threw a punch towards the Alien Race King's head.

But... he was seen through again.

The Alien Race King again seemed to anticipate his move, ducking down and smashing his elbow solidly into Xiao Fan's ribs.

"Crack!"

Three ribs fractured on the spot!

"Ah!" Xiao Fan roared, his face twitching in pain.

But he did not give up!

After so many years, he had long grown accustomed to maintaining absolute calmness amidst intense pain!

At this moment, he was observing!

He was thinking!

Why!?

Why could Helden always know my next move?

He could even predict attacks from the No Self Realm?

Wait...

I know!

A grim smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face as he forcibly took a breath, endured the pain from his ribs, and swung his fist directly at the Alien Race King's head!

"Bang!"

Prediction failed.

Helden, like an ancient boxing champion, ducked, dodged, and landed an uppercut squarely on the other side of Xiao Fan's ribs.

Xiao Fan seemed to have lost his composure, actually throwing out a flawed flying kick.

Watching this, Helden frowned slightly, thinking, "Surely not?"

Has Xiao Fan given up already?

This kind of disorganized attack would only make him fall faster!

As expected, Helden not only easily dodged the side kick but also, as Xiao Fan retracted his leg, he suddenly grabbed his foot!

Then, he channeled Extreme Force into his palm and slapped it hard.

"Crack crack crack..."

The bones in Xiao Fan's right leg shattered inch by inch.

Then.

"Bang!"

Xiao Fan was sent flying horizontally again, spitting blood, his face twitching in agony.

Helden remained expressionless, continuing his pursuit; battle was like this, it had to continue until only one person was left standing in the arena!

But at this moment, Xiao Fan painfully raised his right leg, whose bones were already fractured.

Helden frowned, thinking, "Is he giving up on his leg?"

Then, as you wish!

He was going to directly snap this useless leg!

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Xiao Fan's left leg had somehow turned around and kicked towards Helden's head.

He dodged sideways, then stomped in mid-air, unleashing a punch from seven inches, aimed directly at Xiao Fan's glabella.

But before he could punch, Xiao Fan's head strangely tilted, dodging the punch, then his right hand delivered an uppercut towards Helden's chin!

But this time, Helden seemed to have lost his previous quickness!

"Bang!"

Helden's chin was struck squarely by Xiao Fan's right fist.

Xiao Fan pressed his advantage, throwing another punch towards Helden's face!

But Helden retreated ten steps without hesitation, creating distance from Xiao Fan!

Looking up, Xiao Fan was already covered in blood, with one leg incapacitated and three ribs broken.

But he was laughing hoarsely.

"At first, I was wondering."

"Why you always knew where I was, and now, even without eyeballs, you can clearly determine my position."

"So that's it..."

He looked at Helden.

But he did not open his eyes.

At this moment.

In Helden's perception, Xiao Fan's Qi became increasingly ordinary, with no strong power fluctuations around him, like an unthreatening ordinary person standing in the yellow sand.

And as time passed, his perception of Xiao Fan's position grew weaker and weaker, until a few seconds later, it completely disappeared.

Having lost his eyesight, he was unable to pinpoint Xiao Fan's location.

Because he had completely merged into this world.

He had actually comprehended that technique as well!

Helden's heart was greatly shaken, because he himself had comprehended this technique when he was 22, in the same year as the Overlord!

But Xiao Fan was only eighteen now!

Truly...

A Genius!

A born combat Genius!

On the other side!

Xiao Fan's expression was indifferent.

The reason he could hit Helden was because of the Kong Wu Realm!

The characteristic of the Kong Wu Realm is to resonate with the surrounding world; previously, on the Peak Tower, he had only comprehended the most superficial part.

But now, he had truly mastered it in his battle with the Alien Race King!

The former No Self Realm's effect was internal, elevating one's combat consciousness and perception to the extreme.

The current Kong Wu Realm, however, was external!

Merging with the world, turning everything about oneself into a part of the world.

And by doing so, listening to the sounds of the world.

Helden did just that, which is why he could always know where his attacks would land, and his own position.

Because when he moved, he would interact dynamically with the world, producing sounds that entered Helden's ears.

The moment he threw a punch or a kick, he had already heard the echoes from the surrounding world, knowing his next move in advance!

Similar to Old Kong's Nine-Pulse Breathing Technique, which senses all movements of the surrounding world through the airflow from breathing.

However, the Kong Wu Realm is definitely more Advanced than the Nine-Pulse Breathing Technique because it doesn't require any external objects.

But the difficulty is also higher!

Xiao Fan was very serious, because he was still very unfamiliar with this state, but to win this battle, he had to maintain it!

At this moment, Helden said leisurely, "You don't have much fighting power left now; even if you learn the Kong Wu Realm, you can never defeat me."

Xiao Fan remained silent.

He knew that such a person wouldn't have the habit of trash-talking.

He can't see my position now, so he's trying to lure me into speaking, to use sound to determine my location.

Seeing Xiao Fan remain silent, Helden rarely showed a smile; he crossed his arms and said leisurely, "I suddenly feel."

"If we lived in the same era, it would be very interesting..."

This statement was undoubtedly the greatest praise for Xiao Fan.

It was also an acknowledgment of Xiao Fan's strength.

But this also meant that Helden was going to go all out!

Around Helden, a fierce wind suddenly surged.

Standing in the fierce wind, Helden was like a supreme King.

He walked towards Xiao Fan step by step; his steps were clearly slow, but each step seemed to land on Xiao Fan's chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Pressure, intense pressure!

Xiao Fan's face looked somewhat grim, wondering what this power was?

Suddenly, the fierce wind around Helden turned into a bloody color.

At this moment, Xiao Fan understood.

Because this bloody color was exactly the same as the intent Helden released before the battle!

Helden said indifferently, "This is my intent."

"I call it, Blood King Sword!"

The moment his words fell, the bloody color condensed into a sharp long sword; perhaps because the four-stage Helden's intent was not yet refined enough, his sword appeared somewhat thin.

But to deal with Xiao Fan in his current weakened state, it was definitely more than enough!
