《The One and Only》24. Shocking the World with a Punch
Advertisement
How far was it from heaven to hell? Maybe not very far, maybe only one step away.
Not long before, Lin Yun was still immersed in the joy of killing the Ink Flame Tiger and cutting its parts.
And the next moment he was being chased by a herd of crazy Golden Reckless Bulls.
With the rumbling noise behind, and the gasps of those bulls by his ears, Lin Yun, who was running like hell, dare not look back at all.
Because he was afraid he would be crashed into muddy flesh by those bulls.
Although using the superior Wild Goose lightness skill to its extreme, he still couldn’t get rid of those Golden Reckless Bulls.
And after he threw that punch on the head of the leading one, they had become more furious.
All they did now was chasing after Lin Yun like crazy.
Lin could tell they were approaching, so he was forced to turn around.
The leading bull was only a body-length away from her. And behind it were about 400 to 500 running bulls.
This whole place was sunk in endless flying dust.
This shocking scene made one desperate.
Lin Yun didn’t give up. With a growl, he threw a punch on the leading bull that was nearly knocking into him.
Boom!
The huge impact spread through his whole body. And the shaking internal organs were like being torn off, which made Lin Yun feel great pains in the chest.
He could tell a part of his internal organs got broken.
The thick-skinned Golden Reckless Bulls were still chasing after him like nothing had happened, with their earthshattering growl.
Swoosh!
Taking advantage of the reactive force, Lin Yun opened a distance with the bulls. He then turned around and kept running while covering his chest.
He didn’t know how long he could hold on. He could even imagine the scene he got tramped to death by those bulls after his inner power was burnt out.
But in such a short time, he really couldn’t come up with a better idea.
“Hahaha, young master. Look at him running like a dog!”
The four men from Yun Family were following the bulls far behind, and they laughed on seeing Lin Yun so embarrassed like that.
From their angle, Lin Yun was like an ant compared with those bulls.
Lin Yun’s struggles in such a desperate situation seemed so hilarious, which could only make them laugh.
“He is well-served!”
With a sneer on his face, the young master shouted, “Si, this is a good one! You are smart enough to use these bulls to deal with the lad. This is ingenious!”
Si said with a fawning smile, “It’s all due to your wise leadership.”
“Hahaha, come on. Let’s move. I’m gonna see how he is gonna get tramped into muddy flesh. He snapped my Blood Lily and my Ink Flame Tiger. Today let me see how he is gonna die!”

This bunch of people kept following the bulls from afar and watched how Lin Yun awkwardly struggled, while laughing out loud now and then.
“That kid was really strong enough. If it were us, we’d already be crashed by those bulls.”
“No hurry. Those Golden Reckless Bulls are famous for their endurance. They could keep running like this for four or five days, no speed cut.”
“Hum! That’s what makes it interesting. If they hit and kill the boy right off, our young master won’t feel the fun of it.”
“Exactly! I like watching him like an ant on a hot pan. His inner power is consumed little by little and he is tortured without any hope. He could do nothing but wait to die.”
The young master of Yun Family was quite excited and wished he could see more clearly.
They speeded up behind those bulls.
The running Lin Yun looked very feeble, and his face turned freaking pale. His delicate face was tainted with dust, making him look very awkward.
Only that pair of eyes was still as bright as before, showing he hadn’t given up hope even in such a desperate situation.
Since he was born, there had never been a moment he felt so close to death.
The rumbling noise behind was like Death’s steps. One second slower, he would be crushed.
It was strange. When death really was approaching, he felt both rattled and desperate at first, but now he quieted a little bit.
When things couldn’t get any more desperate and worse, it’d be meaningless to complain.
Anyway he’d die, why not give it a shot?
Lin Yun’s bright eyes were shining with kind of firmness. The desperation and awkwardness on this young man’s delicate face covered with dust gradually faded away, replaced by stubbornness now.
“I’ll do this!”
Lin Yun, who was still running, took out a Blood Refining Elixir and swallowed it.
The powerful efficacy immediately exploded inside his body, along with his strong and powerful heartbeat. And the running qi and blood multiplied, like the roaring rivers surging inside his body.
He had regained his strength instantly and the exhausted feeling was totally gone.
But anyway the elixir couldn’t save his life. No one would be so dumb to compete his endurance with evil beasts.
It could only save his ass for the moment.
Anyway humans were different from beasts. However menial and insignificant they were, they would still look up into the sky, have aspirations, determination and anger.
With his right hand clenched, Lin Yun could feel his flowing qi and blood, and hear his heartbeat.
With his power constantly flowing into his fingers, all his power had gathered in his right hand. The clenching right hand was shaking with his hot blood, with the veins bulged.
It was his gameness, and also his anger!
“This punch matters my life!”
Looking at his shaking right hand which was full of power, Lin Yun shone with rage in his eyes.

At the critical moment, anyone would do something crazy.
While those reckless bulls were chasing behind, he suddenly stopped.
There was a rumbling sound!
The dust was aroused, like a magnificent yellow dragon covering the sky.
A herd of reckless bulls were arriving with deafening howls, trying to devour Lin Yun.
“Is this guy crazy?”
On seeing Lin Yun suddenly stopped, all the four men from Yun Family got confused.
The raging Lin Yun stopped and tried to accumulate all his power. At the very moment the leading bull was going to poke him, he made a sudden turnaround.
At such a desperate situation, Lin Yun exerted all his potential power under the efficacy of the Blood Refining Elixir.
And the moment he turned around, all his bones were like making some fracturing sound!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Those reckless bulls with thunder-like roar were all intimidated and stopped.
The amazing momentum far exceeding fifth level of Martial Practice burst out on his body, making him like the returning tiger king..
The efficacy of the Blood Refining Elixir came into its full play! With the powerful qi and blood rushing inside his body, he made a roar at those bulls.
No one wouldn’t be at lows of life. What mattered was he still held his ambition! With the earthshaking punch, he could overthrow heaven and earth!
Tiger Worshipped by All Beasts! The lethal move of his Tiger Fist!
The earthshaking palm hit on the head of the leading reckless bull who was rushing towards him.
Boom!
The leading bull carrying enormous impact got blown away!
Its giant body kept rolling up in the air. The bull got its head cracked open with its eyes wide open.
Boom!
A dreadful momentum burst out again on Lin Yun’s body. That was the sign after he had achieved the Completion level of his Tiger Fist.
A stream of hot blood was circulating inside his body.
He felt like his blood was boiling and his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength.
In the scorching sands, Lin Yun’s hair was waving with the wild wind. And on that delicate face was engraved with dominance.
Those Golden Reckless Bulls with low IQ felt the dominance of the Tiger King even more dreadful that the Ink Flame Tiger.
The fear deep in the blood stopped those raging reckless bulls.
The moment the body of the leading bull fell to the ground, those raging bulls who nearly exhausted Lin Yun immediately turned around and ran away.
At an even faster speed!
He won!
Lin Yun heaved a long sigh in his heart. He gambled that he could reach the Completion level of his Tiger Fist. He scared away those retarded evil beasts with his move Tiger Worshipped by All Beasts! To live or to die all relied on this punch.
But once he lost, he would have already lied on the ground, having been treaded into muddy flesh by those beasts.
But after all he laughed the last laugh.
He had achieved to the Completion level of the Tiger Fist, and killed the leading bull with only one punch!
When Lin walked forward to check the body of the leading bull, he got attracted to kind of screaming sound.
With his left hand over his eyebrows, he looked as far as he could.
And when he saw it clearly, he sneered. Now he understood why those bulls were running towards him without a reason.
In the distance, the young master of Yun Family and his three servants were being chased by those bulls. They never expected that those bulls would have turned around.
It scared the shit out of them. And only fear could be seen in their eyes.
A moment ago they had been laughing at Lin Yun in a desperate situation, and now roles swapped.
They got the karma so quickly.
With the screaming, two servants got knocked into the air and then were trampled to death by those ruthless bulls.
“Ah!”
The screeching sound made anyone who heard it pins and needles.
But those retarded reckless bulls were ruthless. Under their iron-like heels, almost in an instant they became muddy flesh mixed with the soil.
The young master of Yun Family took out an elixir in panic and kind of unhealthy blush emerged on his face.
The momentum he suddenly generated was far over the sixth level, which greatly increased his speed.
And the servant who had come up with this idea cried, “Young master, save me!”
“Fuck off!”
In cased getting dragged, the young master kicked him into the reckless bulls.
Boom! Si immediately spit some blood after getting hit, and his body also disappeared in the dust.
The young master got goose bumps all over his body. He could only run like hell to save his ass.
“The evils one brings on himself are the hardest to bear.”
Lin Yun moved forward and said so while looking at the servants who had already been trampled to muddy flesh.
If he hadn’t made it, the one who had been trampled to death should have been him.
“This is…”
With a light “gee”, Lin Yun saw a few pieces of evil beast parts that hadn’t been crushed by those bulls.
It was the Ink Flame Tiger’s claws.
“So those people have already killed one. Good. It saves me a lot of time.”
After putting away the tiger claws, Lin Yun came before the body of the leading bull.
Every part of this thing was valuable. And now he had the Storage Bag for it.
He had nearly been exhausted by this big guy. Of course he wouldn’t show any mercy to its body. After taking a break, he began to cut it.

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
