Chapter 29: Skysoar Kick
Inside a narrow alley in the city of Xiang Yang, two children found themselves surrounded. On both ends of the street, a pair of adult men were closing in on them.
One of the boys with an abnormally large head was currently trying to break through on one end. After having exchanged a round of blows with one of the adult assailants, he realized his punches were too weak despite having a higher cultivation. He wasn’t to be blamed, as the difference between the beginning stages of the Energy Gathering realm was marginal. This was especially so when their body size was factored into the equation.
The adult ambusher and his companions were completely confident they had everything under control. The allies of the man whom Li Lang was fighting watched the fight with a grin or were leisurely sauntering over from the other end of the alley.
However, after exchanging a few moves with the boy, the attacker realized what he thought was an easy target had more teeth than he thought. Unfortunately for the children, the man wouldn’t back down from just that.
The attacker had the boy’s back against the walls and was prepared to finish this farce and stop playing around.
His friends had received news that these kids had been going around their area, carrying a large sum of money around them, so he thought it was inevitable they would be targeted. He thought it was better that he did it rather than the more ruthless thugs around.
Combined with the prospect of an easy payday, the grown man jumped into action. He lunged out at the boy, who had gotten passive since his tiny fist had proven ineffective against him.
Just like before, Li Lang dodged out of the way with awkward and unpredictable movements that surprised everyone with how he could still maintain balance. Despite having seen this before, the man couldn’t help but be caught off guard.
Taking the opportunity offered to him, Li Lang stepped into his attack range again. Instead of preparing a punch this time, he turned around while pivoting on one leg. As he turned, he raised his other leg and prepared to kick out.
Li Lang had practiced this technique for the past week, and it was his first time using it against a real person. He executed the move exactly as he had done in training and soon felt his feet come into contact with something solid.
It didn’t last long as he sent the full-grown man flying into the wall behind him.
It did send him flying, so I guess the Skysoar Kick lives up to its name…
