Chapter 345: Clearing the Levels
Facing the large man's question, the Black Moon Yin Elder came back from his own thoughts.
Having confirmed through those two punches that the large man could not kill him, he no longer had any reason to fear the man.
"You crude and uncouth brute. This old man came intending to discuss things with you calmly, but you refused to see reason and forced me to reveal my true abilities."
The Black Moon Yin Elder pulled himself free from the human-shaped dent and stood suspended in the air, his aged face now wearing a look of solemn gravity.
He clasped one hand behind his back and looked at the large man with an air of unfathomable depth, "Since you are asking plainly, this old man's body-hardening cultivation runs fifty full years deep. Do you truly think someone as rough and unrefined as yourself could break through this old man's defenses?"
At those words, an unusual look crossed the large man's eyes.
The old man before him looked decrepit and frail, and his martial cultivation was clearly below the large man's own, but the two punches had proven without question that the elder had an extraordinarily formidable defensive art.
Even so, the large man was not intimidated by the elder's words. He narrowed his eyes, "Old man, body-hardening arts need ample vital energy and blood to sustain them. I will see how many more of my punches you can take with those old bones."
With those words, the large man vanished without warning from the spot, and in the next instant appeared before the Black Moon Yin Elder, slamming another furious punch down directly at the elder's head.
