"It’s below!!!"

A thunderous roar exploded beside Glenn’s ears, shaking his head until it buzzed.

Chen Lin, wrapped in golden lightning aura, placed both hands in a guarding stance in front of his face, constantly stepping on the exploding air beneath his feet. Like a cannonball, he rushed straight up from below, his ferocious momentum spreading across the entire sky.

"N-No... bad!!!"

Glenn’s mind was occupied by fear, and he attempted to reverse gravity to distance himself from the other party.

But unfortunately, it was already too late. From the moment the brain reacted to the moment the order was issued, at least 0.2 seconds was needed. That was the speed of nerve reflexes. If it were a well-trained person, they could reduce this time to the limit.

Glenn was neither well-trained nor extraordinarily gifted.

He was merely a thorough piece of trash who relied on gravity manipulation to toy with and torture ordinary people weaker than himself.

"Don’t even think about getting close to me!!!" Glenn roared in terror, tearing countless metal steel bars from the building ruins, then amplifying them with a hundredfold gravity reversal field, firing them at Chen Lin like supersonic shells.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Speed was power. This was an ironclad rule.

A hundredfold gravity reversal allowed any metal steel bar to reach several times the speed of sound. The destructive power unleashed by such a metal steel bar was even no weaker than the power produced by a meteor impact!

If even one of them hit Chen Lin, the fate awaiting him would be to be pierced through alive and then nailed to the earth.

Chen Lin still did not retreat, and he did not even cast a protective barrier.

He was like a beast that had lost its reason, charging violently and tyrannically into the range where the steel bars roared and shot forth. While keeping his body lowered and rushing forward, he suddenly began swaying left and right.

Only the range and amplitude of his swaying became extremely exaggerated, sometimes large and sometimes small.

From Glenn’s angle high above, Chen Lin looked as if he were drawing an "∞" symbol in the air. The amplitude and range of every sway seemed to be wandering along the line between life and death, avoiding every incoming steel bar by the smallest possible margin.

He was like a pendulum, successfully breaking through the blockade of steel bars by grasping the distance at an almost extreme level.

"N-No... bad! He got close!"

Glenn’s face twisted, and for the first time, deep fear appeared in his brutal eyes. "I have to widen the distance. I can’t take another punch like that!"

"Do you hear it?"

Amid the noisy howling wind, Glenn was slightly stunned and heard that cold voice.

The instant he lowered his head, he happened to meet Chen Lin raising his head. Those eyes filled with killing intent, accompanied by an overwhelmingly domineering aura, instantly tore apart Glenn’s psychological defenses.

"That is... the sound of the storm!"

Chen Lin’s cold voice, filled with killing intent, even covered the surrounding noisy gale.

Fear reached its peak in this instant. Death, almost tangible, shrouded his mind, stimulating every cortical cell, making Glenn’s hair stand on end, as if he was about to be devoured and torn apart by the storm.

"G-Gravity reversal!"

Under the pressure of death, Glenn’s spirit became highly concentrated.

The reversal fields formed by gravity stacked layer upon layer. The empty space actually became visible to the naked eye, like an indestructible turtle shell, firmly protecting him inside.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

It was the sound of a storm howling... no, it was the sound Chen Lin was making!

Through rapid left-and-right swaying, the violent wind he brought up howled, even pulling out afterimage-like illusions on Glenn’s retina. Amid the air-breaking sound that shook the eardrums, a right fist struck his face heavily.

Bang!

Glenn’s brain shook for a moment, but he did not suffer any serious injury.

The reversal field formed by gravity greatly reduced the power brought by this punch. But before Glenn could catch his breath, the left side of his cheek was struck heavily by another punch, and the terrifying shock once again made him lose focus.

"Taste the storm—!"

While rapidly swaying and shaking, Chen Lin borrowed the force and swung heavy punches from both sides.

His punching speed was too fast, even drawing afterimages in the air. The violent storm he brought up was like a vortex, swallowing Glenn inside. The dull sounds of fists hitting flesh rang out constantly in the sky.

Bang bang bang bang!!!

With the help of pendulum-like displacement and swaying, every one of Chen Lin’s punches was full of power.

Even with the protection of the gravity field, Glenn was still beaten into repeated screams. Storm-like fists fell like raindrops, and the nearly brutal continuous strikes directly caused this man’s mind to fall into the abyss.

How many punches had he taken?

Was it one hundred punches? Or one thousand punches? Or... ten thousand punches?

He could not count. He simply could not count how many punches there were!

Glenn had already been beaten until his mind was dazed, and the gravity reversal field was on the verge of collapse, showing signs that it was about to fall apart.

"Whoaahhh!!!"

Chen Lin looked like a wind demon, both fists flying as he struck out countless afterimages.

The violent beating poured out power recklessly, actually forming a vortex turbulence in the sky. The overflowing telekinetic waves shook the heavens.

"Final strike!!!"

Chen Lin’s voice was like thunder, his pupils already covered in gold, and the aura around his body reached its peak like an erupting volcano.

Glenn, who had already been beaten until his mind was dazed, was once again awakened by that terrifying killing intent. But the shock made him unable to gather his spirit, and he could only barely manipulate gravity to form one final layer of protective field.

Chen Lin leaned his center of gravity forward, and while his left foot stepped out half a step, his right foot stomped on the air like heavy artillery.

That tremendous force poured into the air, actually blasting out a sonic boom ring. At the same time, it drove his body forward like an antelope, bending his knees and springing out toward the front.

"It’s over, Glenn!"

Chen Lin’s right fist was wrapped in a roaring golden dragon, and thunderous, lightning-like aura swelled to dozens of meters.

Finally, in a short instant, all the golden lightning vanished, and the aura gathered at one point on the fist. Chen Lin’s arm hooked upward from below, condensing the strength of his entire body as he swung a punch enough to make the sky lose its color.

Whooo whooo whooo!

When the edge of the fist tore through the sky, the entire atmosphere seemed to tremble.

Amid the violent trembling and shaking of the atmosphere, the airflow within a hundred zhang surged into raging waves. The air let out a terrifying sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling, almost piercing the eardrums, exploding with a huge thunderous roar.

"N-No!!!"

Glenn shouted in terror, his pupils dilating to the limit.

The next moment, the fist carrying earth-shaking force flashed past like a dazzling golden meteor striking Earth, slamming heavily into Glenn’s abdomen.

With one punch, heaven and earth fell silent.

Within several hundred zhang, the air seemed to become much thinner.

Chen Lin maintained the posture of an upward hook punch, while Glenn’s eyes were wide open and his face was rigid. It seemed like only a light punch, without any terrifying commotion erupting.

But that was merely an illusion of that single instant!

Boom—!!!!!!

Amid the terrifying sonic scream, it was like a cluster of thunder exploding!

It was as if a hundred-zhang wave raised on the sea suddenly crashed down. The air within several hundred meters was torn apart, and terrifying ripples mixed with a huge roar suddenly spread outward, like countless steel whips lashing in every direction!

The extremely brilliant golden radiance actually surpassed the sun in the sky for a moment.

Then there was another huge fist wind soaring into the sky, like a tilted heavenly pillar, slanting across the firmament. Its terrifying lingering might surged wildly downward, plowing out countless clearly visible air tunnels.

At this moment, on the watches worn by everyone, the second hand had just passed exactly three minutes.

One round, three minutes, KO!
