Chapter 973: Chapter 970 Let Them Fight

As Bai Huipeng’s leg swung down, aligning with Nangong Ming’s knee, Nangong Ming immediately took a step back, stretched out a hand to grab the opponent’s combat suit, while his other hand clenched into a fist and struck towards Bai Huipeng’s waist.

Bai Huipeng’s eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly freed one hand to grab Nangong Ming’s which was gripping his combat suit. Using Nangong Ming’s arm, he leveraged himself up, then bent his arm to control his posture as his other hand struck again towards Nangong Ming’s face.

Both reacted simultaneously, Nangong Ming tilting his head to dodge Bai Huipeng’s punch. At the same time, he turned his fist into a palm, chopping towards Bai Huipeng’s armpit at an extremely tricky angle.

Bai Huipeng quickly retracted his missed punch, one foot planting firmly on the ground, while his other foot kicked towards Nangong Ming’s abdomen!

Boom!

A surge of wind spread from between the two, making the already ghastly scene even worse. Both took a hit from the other at the same time and were consequently thrown backward by the force of each other’s blows.

The ground was gouged with two trenches where they had tried to stop themselves from flying backward. After coming to a stop, Nangong Ming spat out a mouthful of blood with a ’wah’ sound, his breathing became erratic, his form wilted, while Bai Huipeng merely felt a scorching pain under his arm. Looking at his shoulder, the combat suit was torn open by the force of Nangong Ming’s strike through his flesh, revealing wheat-colored skin, but the shoulder that was previously unscathed now had a red mark. The slightest movement intensified the searing pain, almost as if the hand-chop from Nangong Ming had been a real blade!

Nangong Ming panted heavily. Before he evolved into a New Human, he was just an old man lying in a hospital bed waiting for death. The arrival of the Apocalypse had made him one of the first lucky ones to evolve into a New Human. It was this evolution that gave his legs the ability to move again, revitalized his decaying limbs, and his rapid evolution had made him much younger. However, age is telling, and even with years of martial arts experience, the decline of his aged body meant he couldn’t compare to the younger Level 6 New Human Stronghouses.

Even after evolving into a New Human, he could take care of his daily needs, but he rarely fought anymore. Usually, his time was spent on health preservation, enjoying the sensation of having a renewed lease on life. However, the sudden high-intensity combat had overwhelmed his body, leaving him feeling entirely drained, as if he had run for over ten hours with all his energy before the Apocalypse.

If not for his younger family’s affairs in the post-apocalyptic world, Nangong Ming wouldn’t have easily come out of retirement.

Slap slap slap~

He slapped his chest forcefully, trying to make himself feel better, as if wanting to push down the breath that couldn’t enter or escape from his chest. This slap seemed to help quite a bit, but a sickly blush appeared on Nangong Ming’s face.

Struggling to look in Bai Huipeng’s direction, Nangong Ming’s expression changed; his opponent had vanished. A million thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant; based on past experiences, Bai Huipeng was probably already behind him or at some other advantageous position to strike.

As he had expected, Bai Huipeng had indeed appeared behind him. Compared to Nangong Ming, Bai Huipeng was much younger, with physical capabilities and stamina that the old man couldn’t match. Even after an injury and retreat, Bai Huipeng could quickly counterattack!

And his counterattack came at a time when the out-of-breath Nangong Ming simply didn’t have the time to react.

It took less than a second for Sky to appear behind Nangong Ming like a phantom, his arm bending as he threw a heavy punch straight at Nangong Ming’s neck!

Feeling the fierce wind blowing from behind his neck, Nangong Ming sighed, "Youth is truly wonderful."

Immediately after, with a "bang," amid a cloud of dust and sand, Nangong Ming was sent flying hundreds of meters through the air, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood fiercely. As he was flung away, Bai Huipeng let out a roar, bent his knees, and leaped high into the air, his fist clenched tight like iron, accelerating rapidly towards Nangong Ming. Before the other could touch the ground, that fist, carrying a whirlwind, pummeled Nangong Ming like raindrops.

At that very moment, Nangong Ming struggled to muster his strength and raise his energy to block Bai Huipeng’s attacks. The two became two dark shadows in mid-air, each trailing a black line as they collided and intertwined at high speed, creating storms that repeatedly pushed away with each collision of their tremendous forces. The nearby Peace Party soldiers and residents dared not approach, let alone intervene. When gods battle, mortals either suffer or flee!

The two stronghouses clashed in the air countless times with no end in sight when Hatred arrived from the distance. With the vision of a Level 6 Rester, he could clearly see the trajectory of the two fighters. Just as Hatred was about to lend a hand, a hand stopped him, and at the same time, soldiers around him chanted in unison, "Marshal!"

Turning his head, Tang Ye was standing by his side, looking up with interest at the scene of the battle in the sky.

"No rush, let them fight it out," Tang Ye said indifferently, his robe corner occasionally fluttering from the gusts blowing down from above.

"That old man won’t last much longer. He’s doomed. Let Bai Huipeng fight a bit longer. Consider it a way to temper him," he added.

"Mm."

Hatred responded with a nod, calmly watching the battle between Bai Huipeng and Nangong Ming. Following Tang Ye’s remark, he too saw that despite the unending clashes and the fight moving from high above to the ground and back into the air, there was clear indication that one shadow was growing increasingly feeble, showing signs of exhaustion and indeed, would not last much longer.

After countless collisions, a massive boom signaled one figure crashing into the ground at an angle, while the other, still hovering mid-air, immediately surged forward, the ground trembling slightly from the impact of the collision.

After two or three seconds, a figure shot up into the sky, tumbling through the air. It didn’t seem like a self-powered leap but rather as if someone had grabbed him and forcefully hurled him toward the horizon!

Ugh!

With another roar, the veins on Bai Huipeng’s forehead bulged, and he wiped the fresh blood from his forehead. His combat suit was now wrinkled and torn with multiple slashes across the nanomail on his back. After flinging Nangong Ming into the air, Bai Huipeng also jumped up, and under the explosive power of a Level 6 New Human, he quickly surpassed Nangong Ming in height, bending one leg and adjusting his angle before plummeting sharply down!
