Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1256 - 1255
Previously on Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God...
Following Lin Fan's sharp words, the square-faced man finally lost his composure and initiated his attack.
Lin Fan's surprising composure irked the square-faced man immensely. He expected everyone to cower in fear of his martial prowess, but Lin Fan exhibited no apprehension whatsoever.
Not only was Lin Fan fearless, but he also seemed to dismiss the man entirely, a fact that fueled his rage.
He resolved to inflict maximum suffering upon this individual who clearly underestimated him. Lin Fan would not be granted a swift death; instead, the square-faced man intended to subject him to excruciating pain and torment, prolonging his agony until his own anger finally subsided.
Once again, Lin Fan succeeded in provoking the square-faced man.
It wasn't that Lin Fan was exceptionally skilled at inciting anger; sometimes, his straightforward pronouncements, delivered with genuine intent and a harmless demeanor, were perceived as arrogance, causing immense fury in others.
Unable to alter this perception, Lin Fan could only rely on proving the truth of his words through action, rather than boastfulness.
Furthermore, Lin Fan was no fool. In a critical life-or-death situation, was it truly the time for posturing? To what end?
Lin Fan was a firm adherent to Wei Xiaobao's principle: "Flee if victory is uncertain." Had he lacked confidence in his ability to defeat the square-faced man, he would not have delayed this long. In fact, if defeat seemed likely, he would have already absconded, possibly making his way back to Cyan Ox Stronghold.
The most amusing aspect was the square-faced man's misinterpretation of his intentions, believing Lin Fan harbored romantic feelings for Yun Qingyao and stayed to protect her out of love. This notion sent Lin Fan into fits of laughter, as he held nothing but disdain for Yun Qingyao.
His current confrontation with the square-faced man stemmed from a single, unwavering conviction: he believed he could emerge victorious from this battle.
"Perish!"
The square-faced man bellowed, his patience exhausted, unleashing a punch towards Lin Fan with the intent to deliver a brutal lesson!
The blow was akin to a bolt of lightning, far more formidable than any Lin Fan had witnessed from the Yun Sect experts. It was an attack that no one from the Yun Sect could possibly endure!
In a flash, the formidable power within Lin Fan surged upwards. A potent force rapidly coalesced in his hand as he clenched his fist tightly.
Rather than evading, Lin Fan chose to meet the onslaught head-on, advancing with a raised fist to counter the strike.
He intended to engage the square-faced man in a direct confrontation!
What?
The onlookers were stunned into silence. Was Lin Fan not practically inviting death by opting for a direct clash?
It was common knowledge that even the formidable experts of the Yun Sect hesitated to engage the square-faced man directly. They recognized his immense power and opted for evasive maneuvers, using indirect strategies to circumvent his aggressive momentum and exploit any openings. Despite their efforts, they ultimately failed, yet this was considered the most prudent approach against such an opponent.
A head-on confrontation with the square-faced man was undeniably reckless, perhaps even the most foolish course of action. Yet, Lin Fan had chosen precisely that path!
Evidently, Lin Fan did not present himself as an imbecile; why then adopt such a seemingly idiotic strategy?
Against popular expectation, observers had presumed Lin Fan to be somewhat cunning. They anticipated him using his exceptional agility, leveraging his flexibility to his advantage against the square-faced man and finding opportunities through his strengths.
However, defying all predictions, Lin Fan employed the most nonsensical tactic and collided directly with the square-faced man!
Had he lost his mind!
He was surely marching towards his own demise!
Some spectators turned away, unable to bear witnessing what they believed would be a tragic end for Lin Fan. Employing such a foolish method, certain death seemed inevitable.
The square-faced man registered a moment of surprise as Lin Fan charged forward, fist raised. He had anticipated an instinctive dodge. The prudent action, the one that offered even a sliver of hope for survival, would be evasion.
Yet, Lin Fan chose to meet him directly!
This unexpected move only stoked the square-faced man's fury. Who did this young man believe he was, to treat him with such blatant disregard!
Every action Lin Fan took seemed designed to provoke, relentlessly testing the limits of his patience.
Enraged, the square-faced man's fist gathered even greater momentum in an instant, its power escalating by at least ten percent. Now, even if Lin Fan survived the impact, he would be left grievously maimed!
Bang!
Under the collective gaze of all present, the two fists finally met.
Boom!
The collision of their fists unleashed a tremendous force, like an unseen explosion that sent violent shockwaves rippling outwards in every direction.
Spectators positioned nearby felt the sharp sting of the wind against their faces, compelling them to take several steps back before they could regain their footing!
The impact caused the two fists to separate as swiftly as they had joined, with both Lin Fan and the square-faced man being driven backward by the sheer force of each other's blow.
Thud, thud, thud!
The man with the square face retreated three paces, finally managing to steady himself.
Lin Fan, similarly, took three steps back, thud, thud, thud.
Appearances suggested neither had sustained any injury!
This turn of events left the onlookers in a state of bewilderment.
While it was to be expected that the square-faced man emerged unscathed, given his known strength, his victory seemed assured.
What truly astonished everyone was Lin Fan’s own unharmed condition, completely defying their prior expectations that he would either be dead or gravely wounded.
Lin Fan was not only alive and uninjured but displayed no signs of harm whatsoever; his fist remained perfectly intact, and his expression was unchanged.
The square-faced man's countenance, however, had shifted. Despite looking as fine as Lin Fan, he could distinctly feel a burning sensation in his fist, and a subtle ache permeated his entire arm!
Great heavens, not only did Lin Fan endure his punch, but he also seemed to have borne the brunt of it?
This was an unfathomable outcome moments ago; he hadn't even regarded Lin Fan as a threat, and such a notion hadn't even entered his mind. But that single punch served as a harsh awakening.
He finally grasped why Lin Fan had exuded such calm and possessed the audacity to oppose him. It wasn't mere posturing; Lin Fan genuinely possessed a measure of skill!
"So, you do possess some capability. I was too quick to underestimate you earlier," the square-faced man scoffed, flexing his slightly sore hand. "I shall refrain from holding back any longer. Let us see just how much you can endure."
It transpired that he had not exerted his full might previously, as he deemed Lin Fan unworthy of such effort compared to Yun Zhongzheng. His initial assessment was that he could inflict injury upon Lin Fan without expending his full power.
Yet, the current situation indicated the necessity of adopting a more serious approach.
Lin Fan offered a slight smile. "Very well, I shall play along."
Their gazes met, fists tightening. If the preceding exchange was merely an opening act, the true confrontation was now poised to commence.
In an instant, an palpable tension enveloped the surrounding crowd; some found themselves involuntarily holding their breath.
The experts from the Yun Sect, including Yun Zhongzheng and the grandmaster, now harbored a flicker of hope in their eyes—a beacon ignited by that astonishing exchange of blows.
