Chapter 47: Clash of Powers

  Guo De Sheng had pinned all his hopes on Pangzi, but things seemed to be heading in the direction he least wanted to see.

  If Fatty can't retrieve his Shadowless Sword, does he really have to spend 200,000 gold coins to buy it back? Where would he get that much money from? And even if he did, it's not like the sword is worth that much - its value is at most 100,000 gold coins. How could it be worth double that?

  "Fatty, you... don't play with him yet. First, grab the Shadowless Sword and throw it to me, then you can play with him however you want, how about that?"

  Guo De Sheng was afraid that the fatty wouldn't listen to him, so he hastily said: "You must remember, your sister is still selling meat on our Guo family's turf. If you don't listen to us, we'll have to chase her away. At that time, not only will you yourself have no meat to eat, but your sister will also be left homeless."

  "Sister?"

  The fatty's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said hatefully: "Don't worry, I'll win. When the time comes, I'll give you that stinky sword, and then you can help me tell Guo De Yun that from now on, I won't help him beat people up again. There's no benefit in doing something like that..."

  Pangzi imitated Hu Gao's tone and hummed a few words before jumping towards the martial arts stage: "Brother Hu Gao, I'm here."

  Hu Gao saw the guy pounce on him and his mind was filled with all sorts of bad images, so he hastily retreated a few steps, afraid that he would be crushed by the fatty. At that time, he feared that even half of his clothes wouldn't be visible, and he would directly suffocate to death from all that fat, which wasn't just for show.

  "Boom!"

  The fatty fell onto the martial arts stage, emitting a deafening thunderous sound that shocked people, as if a great mountain had fallen from the sky, with an aura that was overwhelming.

  "Don't run, let's have a few rounds first..."

  Fatty saw Hu Gao retreat and was immediately disappointed. He had just imagined kicking Hu Gao with a flying kick, but the latter slipped away like a rabbit, leaving him without a target to attack. In the end, he could only focus his strength on his legs, causing the martial arts platform to rumble loudly, showing signs of collapse.

  "Come on then, I thought you were afraid of me, but don't forget about our bet."

  Hu Gaobrow furrowed and no longer retreated, taking a step forward with his fist clenched tightly, charging towards the fatty.

  "Welcome!"

  Fat boy felt the power contained in Hu Gao's punch, the urgent breaking wind sound stirred up his inner fighting spirit, also clenched his fist and blasted towards Hu Gao.

  His fist was at least twice as big as Hu Gao's, white and tender, but this fist was extremely fast at the moment, and contained a force of ten thousand kilograms, shocking people.

  Pong!

  Two fists collided, emitting a fierce shockwave. Afterwards, both of them retreated two steps back, and surprisingly neither had the upper hand.

  "This fatty's combat strength is actually quite impressive, able to withstand my physical strength without falling behind in the slightest. This level of combat strength is enough to be top-notch even among ordinary Douluo..."

  Hu Gao nodded secretly in his heart, and the fat man's strength was beyond doubt. He could even withstand a full-force physical blow from him. With his perfect control over power at this moment, this punch would be enough to counter even a 7th-stage Condensation Realm martial artist. Unexpectedly, the fat man was able to borrow it, which showed that the fat man's attacking power had already approached that of a 7th-stage Condensation Realm martial artist.

  "You're really something, able to withstand my punch. But next, I'm going to use my real skills. If you can't resist, it's better to admit defeat early and hand over the Wushuang Sword. As for being called a turtle bastard, don't worry about it, no one wants to insult themselves."

  Fat boy gave Hu Gao a thumbs up, acknowledging him as an opponent, and even said something that made Hu Gao not scold himself. This remark made Guo De Sheng feel like hitting him, this guy actually got along with his own opponent, had he gone crazy?

  "It's okay, feel free to attack me, I can withstand it."

  Hu Gao smiled and waved his hand, and also raised a few points of goodwill towards the fatty.

  He had previously secretly inquired about Fatso's identity with Extreme Joy, and learned that the reason Fatso challenged him was because Fatso's sister had opened a small stall selling monster meat on a street under the jurisdiction of the Guo family. The Guo family used his sister's store as leverage to force him to do things, which led to the current situation.

  Fatso is not inherently bad, but he was used by others. The ones who used him, Guo De Yun and Guo De Sheng, are the real villains. Hu Gao decided to teach them a real lesson.

  Do you think it's impressive just because you have some identity background? The kind of people I dislike the most are those who only know how to bully others with their power.

  "Fatty, beat him to death." Guo De Sheng shouted loudly from below.

  Many people also followed suit, they were very familiar with Fatty, knowing that Fatty's strength was formidable and had just been holding back.

  However, they knew even better that Hu Gao's strength was even more terrifying, and he also had an immortal body. Judging from the strength he just showed, it was no surprise that Fat Dou wouldn't be his opponent.

  "Be careful!"

  The fatty let out a loud roar and charged at Hu Gao like a meatball, resembling a giant boulder rolling down, making it impossible for anyone to dare confront him head-on.

  That's how Pongzi attacks, simple and direct, effective physical strength.

  It can be seen that the fat man's control over his strength is also in place, and he knows how to mobilize all his strength to gather at one point, increasing his attack power.

  Although fatty's thinking conversion is slow, he is also a martial arts genius. If he is cultivated more, he will become a great talent in the future.

  Hu Gao secretly weighed it in his heart, and soon saw that the fat man's move was not ordinary. A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but then his face turned solemn, staring at the charging fat man.

  Since fatty chose to attack him with pure strength, he didn't want to take advantage of fatty either, so he used his own strength too...

  "Humph!" With this thought, Hu Gao didn't think much more and charged forward. Every step he took, the power gathered on his body grew stronger by a fraction. Finally, with a fierce punch, he clashed with Fat Brother once again at the same spot.

  The two figures retreated in tandem, but immediately charged forward at an even faster speed.

  "Boom..."

  Pong!

  "Thud...thud..."

  A single-minded exchange of blows, with no room for fancy moves. Both men were constantly being knocked back, but immediately charged forward again at an even faster speed, launching the most ferocious attacks.

  One after another, pure power collisions, left everyone below stunned.

  What's wrong with Hu Gao?

  Isn't he usually very formidable? Didn't he used to be able to defeat his opponents immediately before, how did he become so stupid today and actually exchange blows with Fatso, isn't this using one's weakness to attack the other's strength?

  Has your brain gone soft?

  Many people furrowed their brows in confusion, but some still looked at Hu Gao with eyes full of admiration, they understood.

  "Hu Gao brothers, really... Alas, it's so easy to suffer a loss like this." Ji Le shook his head in some dismay, but there was nothing he could do about it now. The battle had already become extremely intense.

  "Bastard, you actually don't listen to me, once I get my Shadowless Sword, I'll make you pay."

  Guo De Sheng gazed at the two fighting on the martial arts stage, his face turning gloomy. He was extremely disgusted with Fatty, because it was almost impossible for him to help obtain the Wuxin Sword again. He had just sent a message to his cousin Guo De Yun, and now he could only let the latter think of another way or call someone else.

  "Hú Gāo, you're still too strong for me. I'm no match for you. If we keep fighting like this, I'll be completely exhausted."

  The fatty waved his hand and stopped attacking, he was already exhausted with sweat all over his head, without any strength left, but this fight was the most enjoyable one in his life.

  "Haha, you're not bad either, fatty. Let's do it again sometime." Hu Gao patted Fatty's shoulder, and he found Fatty's personality to his liking.

  "Uh-huh, okay... Now I've lost, I should keep my word. That Shadowless Sword has nothing to do with me anymore. Anyway, Guo De Sheng already knows to come here and buy it from you for 200,000 gold coins."

  Fatso shouted loudly: "Guo Deyun is a turtle son of a bitch."

  "Stop!" Hu Gao didn't expect the fatty to actually shout it out directly, and in front of so many people at that. He wanted to stop him but it was already too late.

  Wow!

  Pangzi's words directly caused everyone to be stunned for a moment, and then they burst into an uproar.

  "Fatso actually... He actually dared to scold Guo Degang?"

  "My goodness, is he not going to eat meat anymore or has he gone crazy?"

  "What's the point of going all out? It must be an agreement between him and Hu Gao, if he loses, he would scold Guo De Yun as a turtle son of a bitch, didn't expect him to actually scold..."

  "He's simply a genius, daring to scold like this."

  Listening to everyone's gossip, Hu Gao was even more worried. Originally, the trouble with the fat man wasn't that big of a deal, but now that he had scolded him, Guo De Yun would definitely have to regain his face, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get along.

  "Bastard, how dare you scold my brother, and get so close to Hu Gao. You're finished, fatso. And as for your sister... heh heh, tonight I'll have her sleeping in my bed..."

  Kuo De Sheng sneered, he no longer expected the fatty to help him retrieve the Wú Yǐng Sword. He had originally planned to ignore the fatty, after all, the fatty's way of thinking was not normal, and there was nothing good to be gained from arguing with him. Arguing would only lead to being at a disadvantage. But now that the fatty had insulted his elder brother, if he didn't teach the fatty a profound lesson, it would be hard to regain face.

  "Bad, I'm afraid it can't be delayed any longer, Guo De Sheng has already started making plans."

  Hu Gao was paying attention to Guo De Sheng's reaction at all times, and now seeing the sly smile floating on his mouth, he suddenly knew that he might be thinking of something sinister.

  The wicked idea was probably aimed at either Fatso or his sister.

  Suddenly, Hu Gao felt a gaze staring at him, he hastily dodged the gaze and looked over, only to see a familiar figure standing in an attic, looking at him, it was Yang Le.
