Chapter 473: The Price of Arrogance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When he first saw Chu Nan blocking the convoy, Lumore guessed that he should be related to the people they were chasing. After all, from the traces left behind by those people, the direction they were chasing was fine and should not be far.
It would be strange if this guy appeared at such a time and blocked the way.
When Chu Nan started to destroy the freight locomotive, Lumore immediately confirmed his guess and immediately understood why he did this.
Clearly, that group of people did not have any good fast movement methods, so they used a short period of time to catch up. Therefore, Chu Nan wanted to destroy their transportation so that it would not be easy for them to catch up to those people.
However, even if he saw Chu Nan shatter the front of a freight locomotive with a punch, he still did not take it seriously.
He did not think that a young guy like Chu Nan could be very powerful. Even if he had displayed a very good Internal Breath in those fist techniques, he was at most a high-level Internal Breath Martial Artist and would not be taken seriously.
However, now that he discovered that Chu Nan could actually easily mobilize spatial energy and easily resolve his attack, and most importantly, he could fly freely in the air, he understood that he had still severely underestimated him.
This kid was clearly a Void Break Martial Artist!
Lumore did not have the time to think about why Chu Nan, who clearly looked so young, was actually a powerful Void Break Martial Artist. This was because after shattering a small low-altitude shuttle with a punch, Chu Nan’s body twisted and he actually turned to another small low-altitude shuttle not far away.
There was no need to ask. His goal was definitely to destroy the small low-altitude shuttle.
“Kid! Stop!” Lumore roared and bounced up before quickly flying towards Chu Nan.
However, it was already too late. Chu Nan was less than ten meters away from the small low-altitude shuttle. With a flash, he flew over and threw a punch, shattering the small low-altitude shuttle into pieces.
Looking at the debris and trash that filled the sky, Lumore felt an extremely rare sense of defeat and anger.
This kid had a clear goal from the moment he appeared, but he had lost the best time to defend himself because of his arrogance and underestimation of his opponent, allowing this kid to succeed repeatedly.
Although he did not mind the loss of a few large cargo fuel locomotives and two small low-altitude shuttles, nor did he care how many of his useless subordinates had died, Chu Nan had actually caused so much trouble in front of him. That was simply slapping his face in public!
Lumore was furious and urged his Internal Breath with all his might. Spatial energy crazily gathered, and his body transformed into a bolt of lightning that quickly pierced into the air. He happened to block Chu Nan’s path to the third small low-altitude shuttle and threw a punch.
His mentality changed from contempt to importance, causing an obvious change in his punch.
Although the punch that struck Chu Nan earlier had mobilized a considerable amount of Internal Breath and powerful spatial energy, because he had underestimated him at that time, there was not much change.
Now, because he had begun to look at Chu Nan seriously, he finally revealed his true ability.
When he threw a punch, it looked ordinary, but Chu Nan immediately felt that all the spatial energy in the space in front of him seemed to have been triggered by this punch. The entire space was enveloped by his punch, causing it to be impossible for him to pass through this space and destroy the remaining small low-altitude shuttle.
In fact, because the range of this punch was extremely wide, it was very difficult for Chu Nan to even dodge.
Chu Nan took a deep breath and his expression became serious.
He knew very well that although he had instantly killed Nemonta after breaking through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate yesterday, that did not mean that he already had the strength to easily defeat a Void Break Martial Artist.
The reason why Nemonta was instantly killed was completely because he had exhausted himself greatly in the battle with Angie Prairie. When he faced Chu Nan, he could no longer unleash his true strength. In fact, not even half of his strength was left, which was why he could not even block a punch.
Now, Lumore had come prepared and his condition was good, while Chu Nan had led that group of people to travel for the entire night. Ignoring his Internal Breath, his mind was clearly not in his best state and his strength had to be reduced.
This way, Chu Nan knew very well that this battle would not be easy.
Seeing that he could not dodge Lumore’s punch, Chu Nan did not think too much about it. He focused and as soon as his mind moved, his Internal Breath was activated. Then, the spatial energy around him naturally surged.
This was the powerful effect of using his body to form an Internal Cosmos.
Even if ordinary Void Break Martial Artists had already fully grasped the method and ability to control spatial energy, it was impossible for them to mobilize spatial energy as easily as him.
Moreover, under the same Internal Breath, the spatial energy he could mobilize was definitely much stronger than ordinary martial artists.
Therefore, although he was only an initial-stage Void Break Martial Artist who had just broken through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate yesterday, in terms of the ability to mobilize spatial energy, Chu Nan believed that he would definitely not lose to a second-stage or even third-stage Void Break Martial Artist.
In order to deal with Lumore’s attack, Chu Nan used his full strength and instantly mobilized a large amount of spatial energy to punch out.
His Internal Breath surged and the spatial energy naturally fused.
This punch was originally only the simple second and first move of the Hong Clan’s Long Fist—Shooting Horse Rush Fist. However, it was superior in that Internal Breath could perfectly fuse with the fist technique and the spatial energy was easier to mobilize at the same time. Therefore, from the power of the fist, it was even easier to unleash than ordinary B-rank or even A-rank fist techniques.
Boom!
Their fists did not directly collide, but it was as if two boulders had ruthlessly collided. A muffled sound like thunder erupted in midair. The surrounding space where their fists collided was instantly torn apart, and countless spatial cracks covered the space.
Chu Nan and Lumore spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time and flew back. They were injured in the head-on collision.
However, Chu Nan only flew back less than two meters before he forcefully stopped. He turned around and slapped Lumore.
The palm shadows flew like flowing clouds, causing the spatial energy flow in the surrounding space to become erratic as if the clouds were scattering.
It was the Flowing Cloud Indefinite Palm.
Although he had not practiced it before, with his powerful data ability, after Chu Nan slapped out, he immediately calculated through various data that he should let the spatial energy complement this palm. In the end, when he slapped out, it easily formed the feeling that the entire space was like a floating roof.
Lumore had been a Void Break Martial Artist for many years. Although he was limited by his talent and could not improve much, his knowledge was much greater than that of Nemonta.
Seeing this palm, he was immediately shocked.
Chu Nan’s palm strike was already exquisite and had fused extremely perfectly with spatial energy. Clearly, he had been immersed in this palm technique for a long time.
If it was him, it would take at least a few years to cultivate a palm technique to this realm.
However, it was impossible for Chu Nan to be more than 20 years old. Could it be that he had already become a Void Break Martial Artist in his teens and started to cultivate this palm technique?
Lumore did not have much time to think about this. Chu Nan slapped out and enveloped him, forcing him to deal with it seriously.
However, just as he focused and planned to receive Chu Nan’s palm strike, he saw the palm shadows that filled the sky suddenly disappear.
Lumore was slightly stunned. Then, he saw that Chu Nan had already taken advantage of his daze to pass by him and arrive beside the last small low-altitude shuttle. The palm shadows that filled the sky had transformed into a palm that slapped the small low-altitude shuttle.
