Bash bash bash…
The sounds of the punches and kicks filled the Royal palace. Occasionally the floor stone slabs would shatter inclusive of the pillars under the stomps and kicks of Jack and Wolfgang. The kicks and punches were so fast that even King Hun could not keep up visually.
Shock, reservations, and all sorts of emotions raged within the King. To think that the Hun Champion was in such a fight of desperation. It would be an embarrassment if this were to leak out!
King Hun would never believe this if this did not happen right before his eyes. Even the female guard standing outside the palace was at a loss for words. If the King was flabbergasted, then what more a lowly guard like her! At this moment, she could not even see who was attacking who and only knew that they were fighting for their lives.
“You are so amazing, Sir!” Although Amanda could not understand the ongoing fight, that did not stop her from showing her support for Jack, “You could win this big bad man with just one arm!”
The remark was innocent but anyone who heard it knew its significance. Her simple remark caused Wolfgang to rage within him until he was about to explode. Even King Hun felt so embarrassed that he raged until his face became red from fury.
Then, he noticed Cynthia looking at him with a grin.
“Father, now do you think that your daughter has a problem with picking her man?” Cynthia said with a smirk and continued to tease King Hun, “He could fight Wolfgang with just one arm so do you think he is any less than Wolfgang?”
“I…” King Hun was unable to respond. What happened right in front of his eyes were the facts. No matter how he tried to defend Wolfgang and criticize Jack, he could not refute what Cynthia had just said.
If Jack had been fighting with all his limbs, then he could still speak up for Wolfgang. But now, Jack was injured and was only fighting with one arm!
Boom! The sudden noise drew Cynthia and King Hun’s attention back to Wolfgang and Jack. The impact made both Jack and Wolfgang take a step backward from each other.
When they steadied themselves, Jack was breathing heavily while he still maintained that devilish grin although his body showed signs of injuries.
On the other hand, Wolfgang with his 9 feet tall build was hunched over, sweating profusely, and gasping for air. His wide-opened eyes belied his shock and anger as he glared at Jack.
It was clear from their condition who had the upper hand in this fight. This was also like a formless hand that pressed onto King Hun’s face.
Cynthia became even more delighted and mesmerized as she looked towards Jack, disregarding the veins that were throbbing on Jack’s face.
“Impossible! Your strength could not possibly surge to this extent!” Wolfgang yelled in disbelief. He became increasingly surprised when he was fighting against Jack. He could clearly sense that this man’s speed, reflexes, and strength were superhuman. Each of his blows was perfectly blocked and countered by Jack. Wolfgang felt that the fighting skills of Jack was evolving during the fight and became stronger and more effective during the fight. His ability to learn and apply during the fight terrified Wolfgang.
Although he was furious at Jack, he could not shake away his fear of Jack. This was the first time he felt this way ever since he started learning martial arts.
As he faced Jack, Wolfgang was trying to find a reason for Jack’s immense transformation. He could not come up with any.
“Roar!” The next moment, Jack roared again, and like before, he charged towards Wolfgang.
“Damn it, don’t you have a physical limit?” Wolfgang yelled as he glared at the incoming Jack.
To think that the Hun Champion was now devoid of his usual arrogance and was now fighting desperately for his life! Such an intense fight would have drained anyone physically, including Wolfgang! However, Jack only paused for a moment and now he was on the attack again!
Wolfgang was starting to panic.
