Boom!
A punch was thrown swiftly towards Mysterious Man.
A sturdy wind engulfed the wood along with a loud explosion.
The bamboo wood danced to it.
Mysterious Man stood still ready to fight while squirming his apple and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His eyes were fixed on Jack’s right fist, his fighting spirit skyrocketed like a dragon ready to hit the sky.
His decent and noble spirit was incompatible with the evil and deadly spirit released by Jack.
In a flash, the Mysterious Man stretched his right palm and swung it repeatedly. His strong arm then turned into a soft and boneless weapon, flapping like a bamboo.
Willows were weak yet they bind the wood!
He let loose of the strong and dominant strength used by Brent and Jack before.
Even the Mysterious Man couldn’t be sure if he could defeat him using strength.
Avoid his strength and conquered with softness was the only way he could think of. It was the only way to drain Jack’s energy in the meantime minimized his injury during each fight.
Bang!
A loud explosion.
Mysterious Man’s limping arm hit the side of Jack’s approaching right fist.
It seemed extremely weak but a loud explosion was heard when the two met.
The demon-possessed Jack was thrown miles away with this hit.
“Huh… Guess this is the correct way!”
Mysterious Man stood still letting out a long sigh, his stiffened face softened.
But only for a second.
“Roar!”
Jack who had been thrown away roared! The sound filled the wood.
He twisted his waist, defied the force that threw him away, turned and bent his body facing the ground supported by his right palm, at the same time stretched out his left leg into the air and attacked the Mysterious Man like a vicious snake.
Even the Mysterious Man couldn’t expect this dramatic twist.
There was no turning back or time to avoid Jack’s kick.
Mysterious Man clenched his teeth, took a step backwards, folded his limping arms together and took Jack’s attack directly.
A loud crackling sound was heard!
Mysterious Man’s steady feet on the ground ploughed the bamboo leaves around while reversing.
His stabilized body trembled.
“Puff!”
He threw up a mouthful of blood.
The Mysterious Man stared at Jack sternly.
He had managed to minimize the consequence of this kick, unlike how Brent faced Jack just now, it was strength to strength.
Despite he received the kick directly, but he stepped backwards and avoided the momentum of a direct hit from Jack.
However, he was still severely injured by it!
“Hehe…”
Jack didn’t rush in to attack, he stood where he was and stared at Mysterious Man while making some sound.
It was like… Mocking.
Mysterious Man took a deep breath.
Slowly, he took another step backwards and ready to fight again.
But this time, while being cautious about Jack, he said lightly, “Truth can be known, but it may not be the truth you know...”
His chant echoed in the wood.
It created a different ambient to the dark and creepy bamboo wood.
