Chapter 20 One punch to destroy a tank? Sorry, didn't your kindergarten teacher teach you that?
Gregory's reason was torn apart by an indescribable sense of absurdity.
What followed was a volcanic eruption of humiliation.
He stared intently at the young man in front of him, who was two heads shorter than him and whose physique was so thin that he looked like he could be smashed into mincemeat with a single punch.
"You... are the 'Lord of the Courtyard'?"
Gregory's voice rolled out from his chest, each word carrying a metallic quality, filled with an uncontrollable rage.
He imagined a hundred different kinds of opponents.
An elderly man from the East with a sage-like demeanor.
A middle-aged grandmaster with a murderous aura that soars to the heavens.
Even war machines like him, modified both genetically and mechanically.
But he never dreamed that the person who would emerge from that dark passage would be such a frail-looking young man with sleepy eyes.
This is no longer a duel.
This is the most blatant insult to his reputation as a "butcher"!
Lin Fan finally finished stretching, the kind of yawn that silenced the whole world, and comfortably loosened his muscles before lazily lifting his eyelids and glancing at Gregory.
He scanned the muscular behemoth up and down, nodding as if inspecting cargo.
"Oh, that's me."
Lin Fan's tone was very calm.
He paused, as if trying to recall something, before asking somewhat uncertainly:
"You are... that... butcher?"
"What's up?"
boom!
These three seemingly casual words were clearly amplified and pierced into everyone's ears through the on-site sound system.
The deathly silence of the stadium was broken by a suppressed slur.
What followed was an overwhelming burst of laughter and angry shouts!
"Hahaha! He asked the butcher what he wanted? Did he think he was asking for directions on the street?"
"My God! Is this guy insane? Or is there no normal person left in China?"
"Liar! He's absolutely a liar! He's an actor hired by Li Zhenguo! This is insulting our intelligence!"
"Kill him! Butcher! Tear this damned yellow-skinned monkey to pieces!"
The obscene words and sharp sarcasm transformed into a surging wave of sound, threatening to completely engulf the frail figure in the center of the arena.
In front of their televisions, countless Chinese viewers felt their hearts sink into an ice cave.
It’s over.
This time, they've really embarrassed themselves.
In the backstage dressing room, Li Zhenguo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if his blood was rushing to his head. He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, while his assistant hurriedly handed him some nitroglycerin pills.
"My lifelong reputation... is completely ruined..." Li Zhenguo's lips were trembling, as if he could already see himself being drowned in the spittle of the angry people.
Only Fang Qingxue stood quietly in the shadows of the passageway.
She gazed at the composed figure in the arena, her glassy eyes unwavering.
To outsiders, it appears comical and absurd.
What she saw, however, was an absolute transcendence that regarded heaven and earth as nothing and the so-called "killing machine" as dust.
The gentleman didn't take this so-called life-or-death duel seriously at all.
"You're... looking for... death!"
Gregory roared, each word distinct and forceful. Lin Fan's attitude and the ridicule from the entire audience completely ignited the violent tendencies within him.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with crimson veins, his muscles bulged, and the blood vessels under his skin twisted and crawled like countless ferocious venomous snakes!
A terrifying killing intent, mixed with rust, blood, and gunpowder smoke, exploded out!
The air temperature in the entire stadium suddenly dropped.
The audience in the front row turned pale, feeling a chilling killing intent grip their throats, causing their hearts to stop and almost suffocating them.
"This is the complete 'Butcher'!"
"He was completely enraged! That Chinese kid is dead meat!"
"Run! He's about to attack!"
The host scrambled off the stage, fearing he might be affected by the terrifying force of the energy.
In the center of the arena, Gregory, like an ancient beast that had broken free of its shackles, let out a sky-shattering roar at Lin Fan.
"Boy! I will grind every bone in your body to dust, inch by inch! I will make your wails the most beautiful music in the world! This is what happens when you provoke me!"
Faced with this terrifying pressure that could make an army flee, Lin Fan only frowned slightly.
He stretched out his little finger and rubbed his ear, which was numb from the shock.
"Why do you have such a loud voice?"
He looked disgusted.
"Loud noises are prohibited in public places. Didn't your kindergarten teacher teach you that?"
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Gregory has gone completely mad!
He abandoned all words, and the specially made alloy floor beneath his feet let out a mournful cry of despair before exploding with a deafening roar!
He transformed into a solid cannonball that had detached from the barrel, creating a violent hurricane as he instantly traversed a distance of over ten meters and appeared abruptly in front of Lin Fan!
His large, fan-like hands clenched into iron fists, and before the fist even landed, a sonic boom that tore through the air had already exploded!
The force of that punch was enough to pierce through the front of a heavy armored vehicle!
The entire audience instinctively held their breath.
Countless people even closed their eyes, unable to bear watching the inevitable, bloody scene of brains splattering.
At that moment, Li Zhenguo's heart stopped completely.
however.
Just a fraction of a second before that devastating punch was about to touch Lin Fan's nose.
Lin Fan made a move.
He didn't back down, didn't block, and didn't even look at the fist.
He simply... shifted one step to the left.
Just that one step.
With a light touch and a leisurely stroll.
That earth-shattering punch grazed the hem of his clothes, carrying the momentum of destruction, and slammed heavily into the ground behind him!
Boom! ...
A deafening roar shook the entire stadium!
The incredibly hard alloy floor was smashed into a terrifying crater with a diameter of over three meters. Spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards, and countless fragments of stone mixed with sparks of electricity shot out in all directions!
The entire venue was deathly silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the terrifying pit, then looked at Lin Fan, who stood unharmed at the edge of the pit, his hair perfectly styled.
hide……
Did he dodge it?
Did they just... slip away like they were taking a walk?
Gregory was stunned. The immense force of his missed punch caused all the muscles in his body to stiffen for a fraction of a second.
Just as he was about to forcefully withdraw his fist and change his move, he saw the young man he hated to the bone suddenly approach him.
That look didn't seem like he was looking at a mortal enemy.
It's more like observing an interesting experiment.
"You..." Gregory was about to roar.
Lin Fan suddenly stretched out two fingers and gently tapped on his steely, muscular arm.
Thump. Thump.
The sound was crisp and clear.
Then, he made a disgusted "tsk".
"Your body has been tampered with."
"It has quite a few flaws."
