Legend of the Lightning Strike

3. A Day of Destruction

Boom!

An explosion of energy erupted, unavoidable. The young man extended his arms and crossed them in front of him, blocking the powerful blow from Drapuda, the head of the Black Lion School, with nothing but his hands as protection.

The young man was thrown far enough to nearly hit the students, but they all managed to dodge. The young man was thrown back and slammed into the wall. The wall even cracked from the impact. The young man fell to his knees, still holding his arms crossed in front of him.

The young man crouched down after hitting the wall. He remained motionless and still. The students were increasingly convinced that the head of the school would easily win and that the young man would be destroyed.

"Alright, young man, I admit you have tricks. But your fighting experience is still lacking. Before I crush your bones, state your name!"

Slowly, the young man began to move a little. He stood up and slowly uncovered his face, revealing dust clinging to it. His hands slowly lowered. Drapuda was quite surprised, as his previous blow was powerful enough to destroy the young man.

The young man stood tall, "Oh, Drapuda, remember my name. Aji Bagaskara! If you can remember it, then I will calmly disband your Black Lion sect!" The young man, named Aji, clenched his right fist, took a stance, and then charged forward with immense energy.

Drapuda was somewhat taken aback, having been hit by such a powerful blow from him. The young man instead attacked with overwhelming energy.

"Hiaattt!" Aji lunged, his right fist clenched, meeting Drapuda's. They truly clashed in a clash of blows and a clash of energies.

Splash!

Light shattered! The sight dazzled. The students covered their eyes with whatever they could. As the fragments of light faded and began to appear, Drapuda and Aji were both thrown back several steps.

All the students saw the two men being thrown back, but before they could pay attention, the two men clashed again, and the clash resumed. Their speed, strength, precision, and agility clashed, each attempting to immobilize the other. Attacks constantly shifted, searching for an opening to defeat. The naked eye would have difficulty following their fighting patterns.

"I thought you were just a trick, but you're quite skilled, young man!"

Drapuda had been impressed by Aji, but now he felt he had the upper hand, the experience of his many fights the core of his confidence.

Drapuda saw an opening, as the young man was adept at dodging. But when Drapuda launched a spinning kick, Aji avoided it by sitting down, creating an opening. Drapuda hadn't yet launched his spinning kick, but his left leg had already followed suit and slammed into Aji's body.

Bug!

Sure enough, a powerful kick from Drapuda's left leg struck Aji, who was sitting down, avoiding Drapuda's right leg. Aji was sent spinning and flying, crashing into the Black Lion school floor, shattering and dragging him backward about five meters.

Aji fell to the ground, but his head quickly lifted. He slowly moved to a sitting position. Dust and broken floorboards clung to his shoulder. Aji waved them away with his finger, sending dust and gravel falling.

"Just give up, young man! I'll grant you a painless death. Ha... ha... ha..."

Drapuda's laughter boomed, but within it, the young man named Aji slowly rose to his feet. He stood upright again, facing Drapuda.

"Time to die, kid!" Drapuda lunged, his fists both aimed backward, and immense energy gathered into one. It was the ultimate technique of the Black Lion School, one that harnessed immense energy potential to deliver a fatal blow.

Drapuda's attacks crisscrossed, searching for an opening: his head, his stomach, his body. Wherever there was an opening, Drapuda aimed to finish the young man off. Drapuda's kick found an opening, and Aji's head was exposed after avoiding Drapuda's blow.

Whoosh! Crash!

Now, Aji also launched a kick, and the two clashed. Drapuda focused on his right hand, sensing Aji had blocked the kick. However, Aji managed to step back and avoid the blow. He instead attacked Drapuda, thrusting his right palm into his cheek.

Drapuda took a few steps back, as Aji's blow was quite powerful. Feeling a slight pain in his cheek, Drapuda grew impatient and took his best stance to finish the fight.

"Stop playing tricks, kid! You've angered this old man!"

Drapuda's eyes seemed to glow, as he couldn't take it anymore and thrust his fists toward the ground. Drapuda raised his fists, and an incredible pressure was felt by everyone around him. The students praised their leader, as it was the school's ultimate move.

12 Destructive Steps!

Drapuda's attacks were now like a booster, fast and powerful, as if his strength had increased tenfold. All the students assumed the young man would be finished now. Hiattt!

A high-speed, powerful attack. Aiming fiercely towards Aji. In a split second, the devastating attack was about to strike Aji.

Boom! Crash!

A blast of energy seemed to blow everything around it away. Everyone was now watching as a cloud of energy appeared in their vision. Everyone could see Drapuda's fist being blocked by Aji's right hand. The devastating attack had been stopped so easily by a mere block. What was that guy doing?

Drapuda immediately realized that the young man's abilities were no joke. He immediately aimed a left-handed punch at Aji. This time, he would definitely hit, Drapuda thought.

Unfortunately, Aji dodged like lightning. Drapuda's punch hit an empty spot as Aji quickly sidestepped, and as Drapuda tried to continue his deadly attack, his chest felt hot.

That was right! It was Aji's attack, which had landed on Drapuda. The blow seemed casual, but its energy was enough to send Drapuda flying with great force. Drapuda's body slammed into the wall, shattering into pieces.

The young man, Aji Bagaskara, stood tall and stared at the shattered wall after being struck by Drapuda's body.

"Listen, all students and teachers of the Black Lion school! From this day forward, there is no Black Lion school! You are all no longer a part of this school. And if anyone disagrees, please step forward, and I will finish you off!"

No one dared to speak; their leader also appeared completely collapsed and unconscious. That blow must have been incredibly powerful!

No one responded, no one said a word. Everyone was shocked that their leader could be destroyed so easily. Aji smiled at them all and walked up the steps to the outside of the school. He continued walking, everyone watching him, then disappeared.

From that moment on, the Black Lion School was completely erased from the history of the martial arts world.
