Dashing Student-Chapter 600: Vengeance Achieved
Lin Yu only felt his scalp tingle as if countless fine needles were pricking his nerves.
His legs shook uncontrollably, and he stood frozen like a startled bird, with his breathing rapid and disordered.
Fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, trickling down his cheeks and dropping to the ground with a faint plinking sound.
An inexplicable fear surged within him like a tide, completely drowning him.
The calm yet oppressive voice of Chen Nan echoed in his mind, like an invisible blade piercing straight into his heart.
As Chen Nan steadily advanced, a hint of wariness shone in Hu Ba's eyes.
His fingers tightly gripped the handle of his long knife, his knuckles whitening from the force, as blood-colored patterns faintly appeared on the blade, as if responding to its master's nervous emotions.
His legs slightly parted, knees bent in a defensive stance, his whole body's muscles tensed up, like a fierce beast ready to pounce, preparing for the unknown challenge that was imminent.
However, Chen Nan merely smiled faintly, one hand behind his back, walking towards Hu Ba with a calm and composed demeanor.
His pace was unhurried as if strolling in his own courtyard, not taking the formidable enemy before him seriously at all.
His gaze was deep as the starry sky, seemingly able to see through all illusions, piercing straight to the heart.
With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly as if even the earth itself made way for him.
"You need not defend yourself, it is as meaningless as using a praying mantis's arms to stop a chariot to me," Chen Nan's voice was calm and indifferent, as if stating an all-too-simple fact.
There was not the slightest fluctuation in his tone, yet it exuded an irresistible majesty.
He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife fixated on Hu Ba, and continued: "The purpose of our exchange earlier was to feel the strength of a Great Grandmaster."
"Regrettably, you have disappointed me."
"Now—" Chen Nan's voice suddenly turned cold, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes: "Once I make a move, one strike is all it will take!"
Before the words fell, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, Hu Ba's pupils shrank sharply, a bad premonition spreading in his heart.
He was about to raise his long knife in defense, but under the sudden and oppressive force of Chen Nan, found his body momentarily sluggish.
And in a high-level duel, this moment of delay was already a fatal flaw.
Chen Nan took a step forward, and the ground under his feet cracked instantly, with cracks spreading like a spider web in all directions.
His right fist was raised high, terrifying power condensed on it, and the air around seemed to be sucked out, creating a vacuum zone.
The punch roared, tearing the air instantly with a sharp howling, as if even the space itself was distorted by the impact of the fist.
Hu Ba felt an unstoppable force bearing down on him, and although he tried to dodge, his body was like stuck in a morass, unable to move.
In this critical moment, all he could do was to place his long knife in front of him, attempting to block the mountain-splitting punch with the blade.
"Boom!"
A loud bang as if heaven and earth trembled.
Chen Nan's fist smashed heavily onto Hu Ba's long knife, that long knife which had accompanied Hu Ba for years and was extremely sharp, under this punch, shattered like a fragile piece of paper.
The blade broke into countless fragments, scattering in all directions, glittering with dazzling light under the sun.
The tremendous impact sent Hu Ba flying, his body like a kite with its string cut, drawing an arc in the sky before crashing heavily onto the ground dozens of meters away.
The ground was smashed into a huge pit, dust billowing and stones flying, as if a meteorite had descended from the sky.
The entire scene fell into a dead silence, everyone's eyes wide open, mouths agape enough to fit an egg, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
The air was filled with a suffocating pressure, making even breathing difficult.
No one expected that Hu Ba, the Great Grandmaster who was just regarded as an invincible existence by everyone, would actually fail to block Chen Nan's punch!
The opponent's punch not only destroyed his long saber but also sent him flying, how could this not shock people?
"This... How is this possible?" Someone muttered to themselves, their voice full of disbelief.
"How could Chen Nan's strength suddenly become so terrifying?" Another person said, trembling as if they were questioning their own eyes.
"Perhaps, he has never been going all out!" Someone guessed softly, their tone filled with deep awe.
"I really want to know, if this guy goes all out, how strong will his strength be?"
"I have a premonition that even those eight Great Grandmasters who have been well-known for a long time are definitely not Chen Nan's match."
As soon as these words came out, many people nodded in agreement.
The ease with which Chen Nan defeated Hu Ba showed how powerful he was.
If he went all out, even those experts who had been Great Grandmasters for many years would definitely not be his match!
Seeing Hu Ba's miserable defeat, Lin Yu's legs went soft and he collapsed to the ground.
The fear in his eyes had now been replaced by despair.

He knew in his heart that at the moment of Hu Ba's tragic defeat, his own fate had already been sealed!
Hu Ba struggled to raise his head, looking at Chen Nan, his eyes full of unwillingness and regret.
A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving violently, every breath bringing a tearing pain.
He never imagined that after exerting all his strength and stepping into the realm of a Great Grandmaster, he was still no match for Chen Nan.
Hu Ba struggled to raise his head, the blood spilling from his mouth staining his robe red.
His eyes were filled with awe and unwillingness, his voice weak and trembling: "You... Who exactly are you? How can you have such great power?"
Chen Nan looked down at him from an elevated position, his gaze as calm as water, as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.
His voice was low and indifferent, carrying an unquestionable authority: "Who I am does not matter."
"What's important is, I never intended to be an enemy to anyone."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Hu Ba like a blade, his tone laced with faint sarcasm: "If Hu Sandao has a problem with me, he can very well come to me himself."
"I await at any time."
Before the sound of his voice had faded, he turned and walked towards the distant Lin Yu.
His steps were steady and powerful, each one causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if even the earth was making way for him.
The sound of his steps was like a drum, heavily pounding on Lin Yu's heart, giving the latter an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Lin Yu's complexion turned dreadfully pale, large beads of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
He kept kowtowing: "I was wrong... Please... Don't kill me... Please..."
"Go to the underworld and repent to my father!" Chen Nan's eyes were icy cold as he slowly raised his hand, with True Qi swirling in his palm, flashing with light.
This palm strike contained the longing for his father and the hatred for Lin Yu.
"Pu!"
As Chen Nan's palm fell, Lin Yu bled from seven orifices, his crimson blood splattering on the ground.
His body fell backward, crashing to the ground.
His eyes were wide open, filled with fear, regret, and unwillingness, seemingly unable to believe that his fate had come to such a swift end...
