Chapter 342 Three Punches
Chapter 342 Three Punches
"Mr. Shi, it's not that we want to cause a delay, but we really ran into a tough nut," Old Fifth said with a look of embarrassment. He didn't dare to treat this man from the Gathering Qi Sect with anything but respect.
"Tough nut? Where?" As soon as he heard there was a tough nut, Shi Jingtian immediately perked up, because aside from being famous for his immense strength, he was also particularly combative!
But Shi Jingtian had been in Hua City for quite a while and had yet to meet a worthy opponent. Those guys were no match for him; he was starting to get bored and felt the loneliness of a superior fighter.
"It's him, he's Hao Jian," Old Fifth said, pointing at Hao Jian.
"Oh?" Shi Jingtian looked Hao Jian over with interest, "So it was you who killed so many Martial Artists from my Gathering Qi Sect?"
"Murder?" Jiang Yutong's expression froze instantly, knowing very little about Hao Jian and never expecting he could be a killer.
Wang Mingzhe also turned ashen-faced. If Hao Jian had killed people before, might he kill him too? The more Wang Mingzhe thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and the more frightened he became.
At this moment, the most excited person was Li He, who never imagined that his idol would be right in front of his eyes!
"It was me," Hao Jian replied with a faint smile.
"So it was also you who killed our Young Master?" Shi Jingtian said with a smirk, his expression growing colder.
"It was also me," Hao Jian nodded again, adding, "He put on quite the show, but in reality, he was just trash. I hadn't even exerted my full strength before he was already down."
"Is that so? Well then, this time I will be your opponent!" Shi Jingtian bellowed furiously, and in an instant, punched a nearby supercar. The punch not only shattered the car door but also affected the entire body of the car, turning it instantly into scrap metal.
"My car!" A rich second generation let out a wail. He had saved up a whole year's allowance to buy it, and now it was just a pile of scrap metal.
But he didn't dare to speak out in anger. Shi Jingtian was able to shatter a car with his bare hands; what about hitting a person?
Everyone who saw Shi Jingtian's move couldn't help but gasp in shock and fear.
Shi Jingtian also appeared very pleased with himself, proudly raising his head, provocatively looking at Hao Jian.
"Wow, you've got quite some strength there," Hao Jian said mockingly. Although it seemed like he was praising Shi Jingtian on the surface, he didn't take him seriously at all.
But Shi Jingtian, oblivious to this, continued with a flourish, "That's right! They call me the Power King! There are hardly a few in the entire Baiyue Province who can compete with me in terms of strength, and even fewer who can take three punches from me and not die!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutong and others were visibly shocked. They had no idea if the claim was true or not, but it sounded intimidating.
Wang Mingzhe looked at Shi Jingtian with anticipation, truly hoping Shi Jingtian could kill Hao Jian with one punch; otherwise, he himself would be in danger.
When Wang Mingzhe compared Shi Jingtian's bear-like build to Hao Jian's lean and thin frame, his confidence in Shi Jingtian soared.
With Hao Jian's frail figure, he probably couldn't even withstand a single punch from Shi Jingtian, right?
Damned bastard, you're going to be beaten to death! Wang Mingzhe thought viciously as he glared at Hao Jian.
But at that moment, hearing Shi Jingtian speak, Hao Jian just laughed derisively, and then said scornfully, "Bullshit!"
"You don't believe it?" Shi Jingtian's face darkened with displeasure. Hao Jian actually dared to question his strength?
"You say you're called the Power King, right? So, does that mean you're infinitely strong?" Hao Jian asked, arms crossed, looking at Shi Jingtian with interest.
"Yes!" Shi Jingtian replied grimly, disliking the way Hao Jian spoke, as if he was being provocative.
"And you also said that very few people could take three punches from you and not die, right?" Hao Jian continued.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Shi Jingtian was getting impatient. Hao Jian was only repeating what he had said, which was essentially talking nonsense.
"Well, why don't we have a contest of strength? You punch me three times, and I punch you once. Let me see if you're really as powerful as you claim. How about that?" Hao Jian laughed. As soon as he spoke, everyone was shocked.
Hao Jian was actually letting his opponent hit him three times? Was he seeking death? Had he not seen that the other man could smash a car to pieces with his bare hands?
And that car was a supercar, at that, with a body meant to be much more durable; yet it couldn't withstand even one punch from Shi Jingtian. Now Hao Jian was saying he would let Shi Jingtian hit him three times. How was that any different from suicide?
"Teacher, let's not compete, let's not get involved with this matter anymore, let's just go home right now," Jiang Yutong said hastily when she heard Hao Jian make such a suicidal move, pleading with him with an anxious look on her face.
She really didn't want to see Hao Jian get hurt. Now was not the time for showing off; Shi Jingtian could kill a person with one punch, and that was undeniable.
While Hao Jian could fight, Jiang Yutong did not believe he was a match for a monster like Shi Jingtian.
But Wang Mingzhe couldn't help but sneer, thinking Hao Jian was intentionally seeking death. That suited him just fine. As long as Hao Jian died, his own crisis would be resolved automatically.
He now desperately wished he could accept on Shi Jingtian's behalf and then quickly kill Hao Jian and be done with it.
Not far away, Li He heard what Hao Jian said and was also extremely excited. Unlike Jiang Yutong and Wang Mingzhe, he had absolute confidence in Hao Jian.
After all, Hao Jian was now a legendary figure in Hua City.
"What's the matter, you don't believe in me?" Hao Jian softly said to Jiang Yutong, and deliberately pinched Jiang Yutong's cheek to help her relax.
But at this moment, Jiang Yutong was far from relaxed. Seeing that Hao Jian refused to leave, she began to cry helplessly, "It's all my fault, everything is my fault. If I hadn't gotten you involved in this, you wouldn't be like this. It's all my fault."
"Silly girl, don't be so pessimistic. It's not certain that I'll die. You have to have a little confidence in your teacher!" Hao Jian laughed heartily.
"But..." Jiang Yutong lifted her head, looking at Hao Jian with tearful eyes.
"There's nothing to 'but' about. I won't have any problems, trust me. Your teacher, Hao Jian, is invincible," Hao Jian rubbed Jiang Yutong's hair and said before walking towards Shi Jingtian, "How about it? Do you accept my request or not?"
"You're not joking?" Shi Jingtian frowned and asked. In his eyes, this was simply courting death. Even if Hao Jian was a martial artist, he was confident that he could kill Hao Jian within three punches.
Such a request was bizarre. Who would actively seek to be beaten? Wasn't this outright stupid? The guy's name really wasn't chosen wrong.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a habit of joking with my enemies," Hao Jian said with a cold sneer.
"Hmph! Since you're asking for death, why should I refuse?" Shi Jingtian was also angered by Hao Jian's arrogant attitude and now wanted Hao Jian to pay the price for his actions.
At this, everyone couldn't help but be extremely shocked, for they could already envision the scene of Hao Jian being turned into mush under Shi Jingtian's fists.
"Boss Shi, our Gang Leader has called us to a meeting. Let's leave quickly and not delay here," Old Fifth panicked. He knew only too well how terrifying Hao Jian was. If Hao Jian dared to say such things, he surely had some reliance.
Hao Jian had a reputation for tricking people, not just once or twice. Those who knew him were aware.
Every time, it was like this: he would lure you in, and just when you foolishly thought you had him, he would turn the tables and swallow you whole, classic playing the pig to catch the tiger.
Although Old Fifth didn't know Hao Jian very well, he was aware of some of the rumors. Shi Jingtian was an aid sent by Martial Evil Hall to them, and he didn't want Shi Jingtian to suffer any accidents.
"Isn't it just killing someone? It won't take that long!" Shi Jingtian said impatiently, clearly set on teaching the arrogant man in front of him a lesson.

"This... Alas," Old Fifth hung his head in dismay, feeling that things were going south.
If Shi Jingtian died, the Martial Evil Hall would certainly hold them accountable. But Old Fifth knew he couldn't persuade Shi Jingtian, who wouldn't give a damn about the likes of them in the eyes of a martial artist like him.
"Kid, are you ready?" Shi Jingtian clenched his fist, which was as big as a pot, and coldly sneered at Hao Jian.
Hao Jian crossed his arms over his chest, too lazy to even change his posture, and arrogantly sneered, "Come on! Big bear!"
"Seeking death!" Feeling Hao Jian's contempt, Shi Jingtian was furiously enraged, he stomp the ground forcefully, and his whole body leaped three meters into the air, directly pouncing towards Hao Jian.
In mid-air, Shi Jingtian's fist aimed straight for Hao Jian's head.
"Ah!"
Jiang Yutong, frightened, closed her eyes, unwilling to witness the horrific scene.
Wang Mingzhe, however, looked like he had gone mad, continuously shouting in his heart: Kill him! Kill this bastard!
"Bang!"
A dull sound suddenly rang out, followed by two or three meters of pause, and a terrifying gust of wind suddenly arose out of nowhere, sweeping in all directions, forcing everyone to cover their eyes to block the incoming dust and sand.
When the dust settled, they hurriedly looked towards the center, trying to locate the sound of Shi Jingtian and the others.
At that moment, Shi Jingtian's punch had landed on Hao Jian's face, squishing his nose and face together.
"Teacher Hao Jian!" Jiang Yutong's eyes moistened as she looked at Hao Jian, feeling every pore of her body worrying for him. She just wanted to know how Hao Jian was.
Hao Jian stretched out his hand and gave Jiang Yutong a thumbs up, signaling he was fine.
Jiang Yutong immediately smiled through her tears, glaring at him with some annoyance, that bad guy, he had really scared her just now.
Shi Jingtian and the others, however, were all shocked, especially Shi Jingtian, who knew very well how terrible the power of his punch was. By all rights, Hao Jian's head should have flown off already, but why was he unscathed?
Wang Mingzhe, Old Fifth, and some other members of the Yihe Club all showed fear on their faces, ominously feeling that something bad was about to happen.
