Chapter 156 - 159: Escaped 2
Simon then stomped his right leg into the earth, the impact erupting in a deep crack that split the ground beneath him.
It did not end there as small chunks of stone blasted upward like shrapnel caught in a shockwave.
"Try dodging this," he said provocatively.
With a swift flick of his fingers the floating rubble transformed into deadly projectiles, firing forward in a relentless barrage that screamed through the air faster than any bullet.
Seeing the attack he did not panic at all. He could tell it was not weak, because judging from its level of threat it was far deadlier than bullets.
In his eyes, he saw that every rock flicked by the man’s hand was coated with energy, each one wrapped in white wisps.
"Why would I do that?" He replied casually and then.
With a raised of his hand, he calmly formed the shape of a shooting gesture as he unleashed a burst of kinetic force from each fingertip.
Every time a stone approaches his aim shifted instantly, each counter shot meets the incoming projectile head on and shattering it into harmless dust.
Seeing how he blasted those apart Simon wondered what kind of magic this guy is doing, because as he keeps flicking those pebbles it was destroyed in an instant.
"Did he use the wind to break it?" he wondered.
It was not impossible, but the level of energy mastery required was extremely high, and the cost was on the energy was very heavy.
He could not use it yet because he had not reached that level, and even if he ever did try it now. He can only fire a single bullet and even then, its fire power is very weak.
The air rippled with collision after collision, shockwaves overlapping as Jeff counters erased Simon’s deadly assault with impossible accuracy.
Because if you looked at it in the naked eye you can’t even see it. It’s like a firing a gun where you can’t see it but can only predict it.
"This is going to be much harder than I thought," Simon said.
Because not a single fragment touched his opponent at all, Jeff who had already a good control of his kinetic energy had rewritten the battlefield to obey nothing but his direction.
After standing in a horse stance, Simon knew that nothing would happen if he stayed in that position.
This kind of move was effective for eliminating a crowd of enemies on the battlefield, since it was useless then change of plans.
So the best course of action now was an assault or rather close combat, which was his specialty.
Then Simon burst forward in a blur, the ground caved in beneath each step as he closed the distance with terrifying force.
If you take a look carefully his fists were cutting through the air like a cannon. Jeff eyes shined brightly as if nothing could escape his eyes.
He did not run nor dodge it, because this experience is good for him to understand how strong he is.
Meeting the attack head on, he took a comfortable stance as his hand rose to deflect the incoming blow with a soft touch that scattered the force harmlessly into the air.
It brushed off inches from his face as gust of air spread outwards.
"Powerful," Jeff muttered.
Hearing what he said Simon just smiled as he replied, "You haven’t seen nothing yet,"
The first clash sent shockwaves across the clearing as the trees bend and snapped as the two figures tore through the terrain.
Simon unleashed strike after strike with filled with explosive power.
Jeff not wanting to be outdone parried each attack with a calm palm or redirected the force with a flick of his wrist.
This movements of his was engraved both in his mind and muscle memory, even with no fighting technique.
His way is the absolute way to counter and find a loophole to survive and counterattack.
It was so perfectly controlled that his clothes barely shifted despite the violence around him.
Seeing his relentless assault being defended so easily, he felt a surge of shame. As the fist of the CSA, it was laughable that an unknown person could match him.
Aside from a few powerful hidden monsters, only a handful of people in the world could be considered his equals.
Then Simon spun low and delivered a sweeping kick that cratered the ground, sending dirt flying like a detonation.
Seeing this Jeff simply lifted his leg and pressed downward, nullifying all momentum and forcing Simon back a step.
"This explosive power?" he growled and seeing his figure he knows that this guy is not even serious from that.
Frustrated, Simon launched upward while crashing down with an axe kick that could split giant boulder itself.
Yet the guy casually raised one arm and diverted the strike as if brushing aside a falling leaf. The tree that was hit cracked, bend, and broke in just a slight touched.
The mountain echoed with only the two being in the center of this.
The trees were slowly uprooted and stones shattered under the force of Simon’s wild offense, but Jeff remained unshaken.
His body swaying gracefully between impacts and every technique Simon executed, every refined strike or martial form he revealed.
Finding the endless defense boring, Jeff shifted his weight and drove a simple punch into Simon’s abdomen.
"Ahkkk!" Simon yelped because it isn’t a normal punch at all.
The impact caved in thus launching Simon’s body backward. His boots skidded across the torn earth for several meters before he finally halting, clutching his stomach as a spray of blood escaped his mouth.
Seeing how much damage he had dealt, Jeff thought he had killed the man and he was about to support him.
"Hey old man, are you fin-" he did not finish as he stopped.
He saw that Simon’s shoulders began to tremble as his aura suddenly surged with a violent intensity.
The air around him thickened and distorting with pressure as he lifted his head, those eyes burned fiercer than before.
