【Latest Broadcast】Tomorrow is May 15th, the anniversary of Qidian, the day with the most benefits. Besides the gift packages, this year's '515 Red Envelope Frenzy' is definitely worth watching. Why would anyone miss out on red envelopes? Set your alarms!
With a calm and composed tone, the three-minute challenge was issued, though it was phrased as a question, an intangible and formidable pressure had already spread throughout the vast hall, clearly indicating that Jiang Chen was not giving Ferancci any choice.
Ferancci looked at Jiang Chen, his face darkening. Although he no longer fought in underground black matches, he had never relaxed his training over the years. He believed his strength had greatly improved compared to five years ago. Even if he had no confidence in winning, he did not believe he could not withstand Jiang Chen for three minutes.
"Fine, I accept your challenge!" Ferancci ultimately agreed to Jiang Chen's proposal, knowing very well that from the beginning, Jiang Chen had never intended to give him any other choice. Either he accepted the challenge and let the outcome decide everything, or he would face Jiang Chen's retaliation.
As Jiang Chen said, he might not be able to deal with the entire British government, but if he wanted to, dealing with one person was not a big problem. Although Ferancci was not a good person, he did not want his troubles to involve his family.
"Ali." Jiang Chen called out calmly. Without needing further instructions, Xu Li ran over eagerly, holding an alarm clock. In front of everyone, he set the timer for three minutes and placed it on a nearby table.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Chen and Ferancci slowly stepped into the center of the martial arts hall, standing about three to four meters apart. The silent tension quickly filled the entire hall, making everyone hold their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Silence. The vast martial arts hall was completely quiet. Huang Liang, Xu Shichang, Xu Li, Zhang Tianzhi, Ma Jingsheng, and others all focused their attention on the two men in the center, eager to witness the battle that would decide the ownership of the school's land.
"Go ahead." Jiang Chen spoke calmly, his words exuding an indescribable confidence, a confidence in his own strength, as solid as a mountain, unshakable.
"Ya!" Knowing that his opponent was the greatest enemy he had ever faced, Ferancci did not dare to be careless. His first move was his strongest attack, a straight punch like a dragon, roaring out.
Throughout history, there have never been a lack of people with extraordinary talents. Just like Ferancci, his strength was more than a thousand pounds, and after training, he could unleash this power, not inferior to a martial arts expert who had cultivated external techniques to a high level.
The fierce punch was like a fierce beast breaking out of its cage, the moment it struck, it shattered the air, creating a sharp, piercing whistle.
This was the purest form of power, entirely derived from the physical body!
Jiang Chen did not dodge or retreat, his face as calm as ever. Seeing Ferancci's sudden punch approaching, he slowly raised his hand and punched back.
"Bang!"
A loud sound, like a thunderclap, echoed. An intangible wave of air suddenly formed where their fists collided, spreading out and rustling their clothes.
"Hmm? You've improved quite a bit compared to five years ago." Jiang Chen spoke calmly, a hint of approval in his voice. "However, if that's all you have, you won't last three minutes."
"Damn it!" Seeing his fierce punch easily deflected, Ferancci cursed and stepped forward, delivering a hook with his other hand, launching a continuous attack.
Jiang Chen, wanting to test Ferancci's improvement, allowed him to attack. Although he was on the defensive, his movements were calm and precise, each strike matching Ferancci's power perfectly, neither gaining nor losing an inch.
The more Ferancci fought, the more panicked he became. He vaguely felt that he should not have agreed to this three-minute challenge.
The short three minutes felt like an eternity. Ferancci only thought of continuous attacks, hoping to drag the match past three minutes and win.
However, unfortunately, Jiang Chen clearly had no intention of letting him win. After the third minute began, Jiang Chen finally prepared to counterattack.
"Seeing your improvement, I'm happy, but I'm also disappointed, because your improvement is too limited. This game is about to end. Pay attention, I'm going to attack!" Out of respect for his opponent, Jiang Chen gave a warning. Then, with a flip of his hand, his aura changed dramatically.
Seeing this, Ferancci took a deep breath. Having fought Jiang Chen before, he knew very well that this was Jiang Chen's respect for him, but it also meant that he was about to face Jiang Chen's true counterattack.
With a slight step, Jiang Chen's body trembled, and his entire strength instantly converged, like a surging river, rapidly gathering in his right hand. His fingers clenched into a fist and he struck out forcefully.
Half-step collapsing punch!
Jiang Chen's punch was a killing move in Xingyi Quan. As the saying goes, "Xingyi can kill in a year," which not only indicates that Xingyi Quan is easy to learn but also highlights its dominance. It is an extremely aggressive internal martial art, and among its techniques, the half-step collapsing punch is the most powerful!
The whistling sound of the air accompanied Jiang Chen's punch, the immense power condensing into a forceful air blast, sweeping through the air, almost forming a visible wave.
Ferancci, in shock, had no time to dodge. He could only muster all his strength, crossing his hands to block the fierce blow.
"Bang!"
Another loud sound echoed. The clash of fists and palms stirred the air, and the two figures separated upon contact. Everyone could see Ferancci flying backward, crashing into the wall over ten meters away.
The walls of the martial arts hall, being very sturdy, still cracked under the impact, with cracks spreading out. This showed the incredible power of Jiang Chen's punch.
"Spit!" Ferancci slid down the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his dark face turning pale.
"Damn it." He tried to stand up, but at this moment, he felt as if his bones had been shattered by Jiang Chen's punch. He could not muster any strength, and despite his best efforts, he could not get up.
"Ring, ring..."
At this moment, the alarm clock rang. The crowd in the hall was first stunned, then the Wing Chun disciples could not help but celebrate.
"We won, we won!"
"Wow, I never thought Dashi (Elder Brother) was so powerful!"
"Of course, Dashi is recognized as the world's top martial artist by the international martial arts community. His strength is beyond our imagination!"
In contrast, Ma Jingsheng and others were disheartened, and Zhang Tianzhi was stunned, standing there in shock.
Jiang Chen looked at Ferancci, who was struggling to sit up against the wall, and said with a smile, "It seems I won this challenge."
"You won." Ferancci said, "I promise, I won't have any more ideas about the school's land."
"Leave Hong Kong." Jiang Chen said calmly, "After taking my punch, you will never be able to return to your peak state. Leave the money you earned through illegal means, and I will ensure your family's safe departure."
Ferancci knew he had no strength to resist. For the sake of his wife and children, he had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I agree..."
