Chapter 269: You are Jin Gang’s Leg

“Get out of the way, Xu Fan! Even I can feel the earth-shattering power in Elder Sun’s punch,” Lin Shutong exclaimed anxiously to Xu Fan, who stood still as Elder Sun’s fist approached, “Why are you just standing there like a fool?”

Upon hearing Lin Shutong’s words, the corners of Xu Fan’s mouth twitched slightly. It wasn’t that Xu Fan was unaware of the power contained in Elder Sun’s punch; rather, it was that such force was hardly enough to concern him.

It was only when Elder Sun’s fist was about to strike Xu Fan that his figure slowly began to move.

Compared to Elder Sun’s earth-shattering punch, Xu Fan’s movement was quite ordinary, a mere slight sidestep. Then, in the nick of time, he dodged the punch, which carried the strength of fourteen bulls.

Although Xu Fan was not a traditional martial artist of Yan Country, he understood the basic virtue of respecting the elderly and cherishing the young. Therefore, he did not rush to counterattack against Elder Sun but instead opted to dodge the attack.

Elder Sun was slightly surprised to see Xu Fan dodge his heavy and powerful punch with such dexterity. However, he immediately twisted his body for a rotation, followed by a horizontal elbow strike sweeping toward Xu Fan’s face.

This elbow strike was even swifter than the previous punch with the strength of fourteen bulls—due to being closer to Xu Fan—and with a woosh of wind, it swept toward Xu Fan’s face in an instant.

Xu Fan nodded slightly at Elder Sun’s move.

Although Elder Sun had just entered the Qi Drawing Realm, just from that one punch and one elbow strike, it was clear that Elder Sun’s Martial Dao cultivation was not something ordinary people could compare to.

To describe Elder Sun’s skill as vigorous and unyielding despite his age would not be an exaggeration.

Seeing the speed and ferocity of Elder Sun’s elbow strike, Xu Fan dared not take it lightly. His body bent backward like a patient with bone disease at an unbelievable angle, dodging the formidable elbow.

Elder Sun was shocked to see his confident elbow strike dodged by Xu Fan. Xu Fan’s level was indeed much higher than his own. However, Elder Sun was not the kind of person to shrink back when facing the strong. He rose to the challenge, preferring to clash steel against stone. Now, witnessing Xu Fan’s skill, it only ignited Elder Sun’s potential and fighting spirit even more.

“Vajra Sweep!” After his elbow strike missed, Elder Sun used the centrifugal force of his body spin to stoop down and, with one leg bent, he swept the other leg out like a steel whip at Xu Fan, powered by the rotation.

Tongbi Fist is adept at utilizing various body parts as weapons—whether fists, elbows, or legs—all of which can be deployed fluidly as needed.

Elder Sun’s sweeping leg, with the centrifugal force of his body’s rotation, was even quicker than the elbow strike. Xu Fan, having just arched back to avoid the elbow, was now in a vulnerable position, all his old strength spent and new power yet to emerge. Elder Sun’s steel whip-like leg targeted Xu Fan’s now exposed lower half.

Elder Sun’s keen eye for seizing the opportunity in battle was evident here. A punch followed by an elbow strike, and immediately after one missed strike, a sweeping leg; each movement carried the calm force of at least fourteen bulls. Once unleashed, even the surrounding air seemed to howl as if torn apart.

As Elder Sun’s Vajra Sweep approached, a look of admiration appeared in Xu Fan’s eyes.

It was unexpected that although the elder had aged, his movement had not diminished at all; he was extremely agile, and his ability to grasp the flow of combat was incredibly strong.

Having experienced thousands of years of battle in his past life as a cultivator, Xu Fan had an exceptionally keen sense for the critical moments in a fight, and upon seeing Elder Sun’s combat abilities, he couldn’t help but nod slightly in approval.

Elder Sun’s ability to seize the opportune moments in battle was even more precise than some cultivators who had trained for hundreds or thousands of years. If there was one thing Xu Fan could truly admire about the martial artists of Sea Blue Star compared to the cultivators from the Cultivation World, it would be the martial artists’ intuitive understanding and control over these critical junctures during combat.

But even though Elder Sun’s grasp over these fleeting opportunities was impressive, he was still no match for Xu Fan, who had fought for thousands of years and was a master of such things.

Compared to the average martial artists, Elder Sun’s ability to seize the right moment certainly placed him at the top level among the martial artists of Yan Country, but in Xu Fan’s eyes, this was like a child waving a wooden stick before a general, not at all on the same level.

“Ah! Grandpa Sun’s legs are so fast, Xu Fan, be careful!” Lin Shutong, upon witnessing the scene, couldn’t help herself and anxiously shouted a warning to Xu Fan.

In fact, Xu Fan didn’t need anyone’s reminder. Just as Elder Sun’s Vajra Sweep was about to reach Xu Fan’s ankle, he lightly tapped his feet, his body flipping like a sparrowhawk. In an instant, he leaped from the ground, performing a 360-degree aerial somersault, soaring more than three meters high.

Elder Sun’s sweeping leg was just 0.01 centimeters away from Xu Fan’s body when it lost track of him and swept through nothing but air.

“Wow! So cool!” Lin Shutong, seeing Xu Fan leap into the air with such agility, was almost startled by it.

Even the gymnasts from Yan Country would probably not be able to perform such a dashing aerial maneuver in such a critical moment, let alone anyone else.

Now, Lin Shutong felt an immense regret because only then did she think to take out her phone and record the moment when Xu Fan had just leaped, performing the 360-degree aerial flip, dodging Grandpa Sun’s sweeping leg.

But to take out her phone now would be a little too late.

“Daddy is so amazing, Daddy is the best!” Tongtong also cheered for Xu Fan in her sweet, childish voice.

Hearing his beloved daughter’s words, although Xu Fan was still suspending in the air, he didn’t forget to twist his head and show Tongtong a happy smile.

“Elder Sun, three moves have passed; now I shall begin my attack!” Xu Fan, having hung in the air for two or three seconds, slowly landed back on the ground.

Xu Fan soared more than three meters high, but when he landed on the ground, it was as light as a falling leaf, not stirring up even a speck of dust. Witnessing this, Elder Sun gained an even more vivid understanding of Xu Fan’s superb skill.

“Come on, let me truly witness what they call the power of a legendary Martial Arts Grandmaster!” Elder Sun said to Xu Fan with fervor.
