Everyone burst into laughter, and Jonathan Dai felt even more embarrassed.
At this moment, the four disciples of the Cloud Clan who had defeated Karson said coldly, "Is there anyone else who wants to beat the drum?"
Everyone's expression was frozen. They hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to make eye contact with any of the disciples. After all, even a late- Yellow Level martial artist like Karson Mao couldn't withstand 50 moves by the four of them. The rest of the crowd was too intimidated to try out.
Therefore, the whole crowd was deathly quiet for a while.
"If no one else is around, then we'll be leaving." The four disciples immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing as they were about to leave, Jonathan's eyes flashed with fury and deceit as he called out towards Fade Chen, "What are you laughing at? Even if Uncle Karson has failed, at least he tried. As for you, you're a coward for not even trying. You don't have the right to laugh."
Fade was utterly speechless at how dumb Jonathan was. He turned away and ignored his words completely.
However, Jonathan continued to mock him as he grew bolder and prouder, "If you don't have the guts, just admit it. You don't have to hide! Admit that you're a coward and stop pretending that you're not one, it's disgraceful."
"A person like you isn't qualified to stay with Winnie at all. Get out of here!"
Winnie Huo couldn't bear to listen any longer. Her expression grew stern and she retorted sharply, "Jonathan, are you finished? Fade clearly is trying to avoid arguing with you, yet you're trying to pick a fight? Everyone had seen the outcome of what happened when your bodyguard was fighting with Fade. Do you really think you're qualified to insult him?"
Jonathan didn't expect Winnie to defend Fade like this, and his expression fell. He wanted to refute her words, but many people witnessed Karson losing to Fade just now. He had no way of talking his way out.
Therefore, he could only attempt to make up an excuse on the spot, "Uncle Karson only lost the fight just now because he had his guard down. His lost doesn't count."
"Plus, you said that he's powerful right? In that case, he should go and take on the trial, but he isn't! An empty tin can makes the most noise, just face it. He's a pitiful coward." Jonathan forced his insults on Fade.
Winnie's face reddened in anger, and she was going to refute his words.
At this moment, Fade stood up and grabbed hold of her hand, motioning her to stop by shaking his head.
When Jonathan saw this, he sneered and said, "Don't just shake your head. If you don't dare to try, just admit it. Don't pretend to hide behind a woman, you puny coward!"
Fade's eyes flashed with fury and it was clear that he was now very pissed off. He glared long at Jonathan and finally spoke in an ominous tone, "I really didn't want to waste my time with a piece of trash like you, but you've been testing my patience all this time."
"Me? Trash? Do you even know..." Jonathan shouted back in defiance.
Fade slapped him smack across the face and scoffed at him, "Shut up!"
"You hit me..." Jonathan clasped his now swollen cheek and complained loudly.
Fade replied with another slapped that evened out the other side of his face, leaving both his cheeks swollen. Then, he repeated himself again coldly, "I told you to shut up. Do you hear me?"
Fade's deadly gaze and the burning pain on his face finally reminded Jonathan of innate fear. He shut his mouth tightly and did not dare to speak anymore.
The four disciples noticed the brawl and frowned before shouting at them, "If you guys are here for medicinal treatment, we'll let you in automatically when the time is here. Don't try anything funny now, or else..."
Fade waved at them and interrupted them to say, "No need to continue threatening."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help wondering what he meant.
Jonathan snickered as he commented, "What does he even mean? He doesn't even know if he can take all those blows but he's counting the moves? Ignorant."
Just as he was about to taunt further, the sound of something snapping could be heard. Fade's palm had landed straight on the disciple's chest and the disciple was thrown backwards. He fell on the ground groaning and couldn't get back up.
Quickly after, Fade used the momentum from him palm to turn around and face another disciple. He launched another punch while announcing, "Second move!"
With another sound, the disciple was sent hurtling backwards, and fell to the ground with a wail.
He did the same for the other two disciples and sent them flying backwards. Both of them fell to the ground and struggled to get up without avail.
At the same time, Fade announced calmly, "Third move, fourth move. Done!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Fade in shock. They couldn't believe that he had defeated four Cloud Clan disciples so easily.
Now, everyone finally realized what Fade was counting. He wasn't counting the number of moves he had to resist that were left but instead referred to the moves that the opponents could take.
Four people and only four moves were used!
They were all defeated with a single move.
Such amazing strength left everyone in awe. Even the Cloud Clan disciples looked at Fade with disbelief and a tinge of admiration.
