Chapter 859 Jack Hughes VS Mysterious Man
Boom!
A punch was thrown swiftly towards Mysterious Man.
A sturdy wind engulfed the wood along with a loud explosion.
The bamboo wood danced to it.
Mysterious Man stood still ready to fight while squirming his apple and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His eyes were fixed on Jack’s right fist, his fighting spirit skyrocketed like a dragon ready to hit the sky.
His decent and noble spirit was incompatible with the evil and deadly spirit released by Jack.
In a flash, the Mysterious Man stretched his right palm and swung it repeatedly. His strong arm then
turned into a soft and boneless weapon, flapping like a bamboo.
Willows were weak yet they bind the wood!
He let loose of the strong and dominant strength used by Brent and Jack before.
Even the Mysterious Man couldn’t be sure if he could defeat him using strength.
Avoid his strength and conquered with softness was the only way he could think of. It was the only way
to drain Jack’s energy in the meantime minimized his injury during each fight.
Bang!
A loud explosion.
Mysterious Man’s limping arm hit the side of Jack’s approaching right fist.
It seemed extremely weak but a loud explosion was heard when the two met.
The demon-possessed Jack was thrown miles away with this hit.
“Huh… Guess this is the correct way!”
Mysterious Man stood still letting out a long sigh, his stiffened face softened.
But only for a second.
“Roar!”
Jack who had been thrown away roared! The sound filled the wood.
He twisted his waist, defied the force that threw him away, turned and bent his body facing the ground
supported by his right palm, at the same time stretched out his left leg into the air and attacked the
Mysterious Man like a vicious snake.
Even the Mysterious Man couldn’t expect this dramatic twist.
There was no turning back or time to avoid Jack’s kick.
Mysterious Man clenched his teeth, took a step backwards, folded his limping arms together and took
Jack’s attack directly.
A loud crackling sound was heard!
Mysterious Man’s steady feet on the ground ploughed the bamboo leaves around while reversing.
His stabilized body trembled.
“Puff!”
He threw up a mouthful of blood.
The Mysterious Man stared at Jack sternly.
He had managed to minimize the consequence of this kick, unlike how Brent faced Jack just now, it
was strength to strength.
Despite he received the kick directly, but he stepped backwards and avoided the momentum of a direct
hit from Jack.novelbin
However, he was still severely injured by it!
“Hehe…”
Jack didn’t rush in to attack, he stood where he was and stared at Mysterious Man while making some
sound.
It was like… Mocking.
Mysterious Man took a deep breath.
Slowly, he took another step backwards and ready to fight again.
But this time, while being cautious about Jack, he said lightly, “Truth can be known, but it may not be
the truth you know...”
His chant echoed in the wood.
It created a different ambient to the dark and creepy bamboo wood.
Jack who had veins popped out his entire face started to clench his teeth and struggled at the same
time Mysterious Man chanted ‘Tao Te Ching’.
His whole body shaken with reddened eyes.
“Hehe… Hehe…”
He made the sound harshly along with heavy and rapid breathing.
Due to the darkness in the wood, the Mysterious Man missed the horrifying look on Jack’s face, with all
the veins popped out and the nonstop twisting of his face's muscles…
It was horrifying to look at.
But the dark covered everything up.
The chant continued to echo in the wood.
The Mysterious Man’s concentration was fixated on Jack’s action and response.
Jack stood frozen, breathing heavily, this ensured that 'Tao Te Ching' was working on Jack.
He also understood that the only way to awaken Jack was to defeat him under the influence of 'Tao Te
Ching'.
Everything froze in the wood.
The rustling of the bamboo leaves, 'Tao Te Ching' chanted by the Mysterious Man and Jack’s heavy
and rapid breathing were the only sound heard overlapping each other in the wood.
This lasted for only a minute long.
Suddenly.
“Roar!”
Jack roared full in the sky and the next second, his right leg kicked the ground, bamboo leaves around
flew into the sky and his kick created a huge pit.
In the meantime, he bent his body facing the ground.
“Hehe… Hehe…”
That roared earlier drained a huge part of Jack’s energy, while he bent over, his breathing had
obviously become heavier and more rapid.
The Mysterious Man skipped a heartbeat, Jack’s roared awakened the fear inside him.
Although Jack’s breathing became heavier and rapid after the roar, but the volume was enough to
cover up Mysterious Man’s chant.
He took a deep breath and increase the volume of his chant.
“Truth can be known, but it may...”
But when the first line covered up Jack’s breathing sound, Jack’s bent body straightened up slowly.
His gasping stopped and replaced with an indescribable demonic and uncanny sound.
“Truth..., truth of universe, truth of world, truth of fairyland, truth of devildom, truth of ...”
Following a tremendous loud roar, Jack became mad, along with his demonic and uncanny sound, he
moved his body and rushed towards the Mysterious Man.
Jack’s laughed was like needle stabbing on Mysterious Man’s eardrums.
He frowned in pain while continued chanting loudly.
At the same time, he saw Jack rushing towards him like a furry beast.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, chanted 'Tao Te Ching' along with a loud “Bang”!
And this time, none of them intended to avoid one another.
Jack threw his punch to Mysterious Man along with his demonic laugh.
While Mysterious Man on the other hand got his fist ready with his limping arm.
Boom!
Mysterious Man avoided Jack’s punch while his punch landed on Jack’s right wrist.
Though it was soft but extremely powerful.
The demon-possessed Jack lost his balance, made half a circle and staggered to the side.
When Jack was staggering to the side, Mysterious Man stunned as he saw something on Jack’s face.
Something dripped onto his face while Jack staggered.
Wet, warm and sticky…
He immediately touched it with his hand and smelled, it startled him.
Those dripping were… blood!
