Tornado-like wind danced through the bamboo forest, carrying the scent of damp earth and crushed leaves.
At just three inches inside the bamboo forest, a cracking sound echoed as Kang's muscles coiled as he clenched his fist.
His first punch landed at Kai's temple like a hammer blow, which made Kai's skin duck inside.
Kai's head jerked aside, followed by a speeding wind that brushed across his ear like a spear.
As Kai's head stopped moving, he drove his right arm upward, surging it toward Kang's ribs, which echoed like hitting a solid oak.
A grunt escaped from Kang, but he didn't budge; he simply smiled, letting a cruel slash draw across his face.
"Is that all you've got, kid?" Kang spat, before launching a furious combination of punches at the boy.
Blocking and dodging the punches wasn't just a fight of finesse; it was a raw, brutal demolition, fists meeting forearms with sickening, meaty thwacks.
