Zen’s fist stopped on Cole’s face, but he did not manage to hurt him at all.

Why is Cole’s defense so terrifying?

Zen was shocked.

Even if Zen had focused only on martial arts and neglected the lethality of his punches and kicks, how could a second-grade martial artist withstand the punch of a fourth-grade martial artist?

Cole was unscathed. This was against common sense!

“You told me tonight that you’re called Invincible Zen Slade because the martial arts you practice are comparable to the Invincible Shield?” Cole smiled. “But you don’t know that my martial arts are even stronger than the Invincible Shield.”

Cole’s master had once told him that if he wanted to be strong, he had to learn to receive beatings.

Cole had been chased around the mountains by his terrifying master for a year!

That was why he could have a strong recovery ability when he lost all his strength.

His resistance and recovery ability had far exceeded Zen’s imagination.

Zen’s expression changed. He wanted to retreat and stay away from Cole.

He smelled danger.

But it was too late!

Although Cole was slower than him, he arrived first.

Clenching his fists, Cole punched out.

Boom!

An explosive noise erupted in the silent night sky.

“Ah!”

Zen screamed.

The punch in his stomach instantly pushed him back a few meters, then he fell to the ground.

His jacket that had a straight collar was wet from the water on the lawn.

“How can you break my defense?”

Zen was in disbelief. The pain from his abdomen made him curl up uncontrollably.

With such powerful endurance training, how could he break through the endurance training that he was so proud of with his second-grade martial arts?!

It can’t be!

Cole did not answer Zen. He just smiled and approached him. “I’ve returned the punch you gave me tonight.

“Zen, stand up.”

Zen was shocked.

He had practiced horizontal martial arts and had extremely strong resistance and recovery abilities. Therefore, he was not afraid even when facing a famous expert like Hugh.

But he was afraid now.

Not only was he afraid, but he was also terrified!

The reason for his terror was that he had suddenly realized that Cole’s punch not only made his horizontal martial arts, which he was proud of, useless but also made his true energy dissipate and unable to condense.

In other words, Zen could not use his martial arts now.

“Why can you break my energy?”

Zen struggled to stand up and tried to condense his true energy, but his efforts were useless.

“Continue.”

Cole still did not respond.

He had only tampered with Zen’s acupoints when he punched him.

This was also the reason he could break Zen’s defense.

Cole pressed on.

Zen was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

After being threatened by Charles Yeager and being worried about his wife and daughter, he had gained the hope of winning, but he had now been pulled back to despair.

Since he had been rendered unable to use his true energy for the time being, how could he be Cole’s match?

“I, I admit defeat.”

Zen trembled and lowered his head.

Cole stopped in his tracks.

In the villa, Hugh and Kamila looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

How strong was Cole?

He could actually force Zen to surrender.

Cole looked at Zen expressionlessly. “This is a life-or-death battle.”

“But I want to go back and see my wife and daughter.”

Zen pleaded with a trembling voice and looked straight at Cole.

For him, this was his last chance.

Cole looked at Zen and saw the latter’s eyes gradually turning red.

After a long while, Cole sighed and said, “Why did you—”

At this moment.

Zen suddenly pounced forward. A dagger that had never appeared before appeared in his hand and lunged toward Cole’s abdomen.

Cole could not avoid the sudden attack.

When they saw this, Hugh’s and Kamila’s expressions changed as they rushed out of the villa.

Zen launched a sneak attack?!

Yes…

From the moment he had started begging, Zen had made up his mind. If he could distract Cole and delay him so that he could condense his true energy, he would definitely catch him.

There was no point in surrendering to him. Seizing Cole was his last chance.

As expected, it worked!

Cole stopped. The moment Zen looked at him, he understood that he had a chance.

Therefore, after his true energy recovered, Zen sighed and attacked.

This was his last chance!

Cole’s true energy could not form a powerful defense in a hurry.

Zen’s face was ferocious, and the dagger in his hand flickered with a sharp light.

Closer!

Cole’s body was getting closer.

Zen seemed to see hope in front of him.

At this moment!

Cole’s lips curled up. “Why are you so obsessed?”

Zen was stunned.

Cole did not retreat. Instead, he moved forward. His left hand reached out at lightning speed and grabbed Zen’s dagger, then he stabbed it into Zen’s chest.

Squish!

Blood splattered.

Zen fell to the ground in shock, his body twitching. “How could you see through it?”

The dagger stabbed into his heart.

He did not have long to live.

“Because I never trusted you in the first place,” Cole said.

His true energy was circulating the entire time, and he was on guard.

Zen stiffened. I see…

The blood of the heart soaked his jacket and flowed toward the lawn.

“Penny, I want to go home…”

Zen muttered.

He tried to open his eyes and looked at the night sky, sad and desperate.

Cole’s voice came. “I’ll take care of your wife and daughter if I get the chance.”

Zen froze and looked at Cole. Forcing a smile, he said, “Thank you, thank you…”

Zen’s eyes were open, but his life force was gone.

After being silent for a while, Cole closed his eyes.

“What are you thinking of?”

Cara walked to Cole’s side.

“I’m thinking that a martial artist’s vitality is far stronger than that of ordinary people. It’s obvious that Zen could maintain his vitality for so long after being stabbed in the heart.”

He suddenly paused. “But if he were not a martial artist, he wouldn’t have died in battle at such a young age. Zen should only be in his fifties, right?”

Cara smiled when she heard that. “If you weren’t a martial artist, wouldn’t you have died tonight?”

Stunned, Cole smiled bitterly. “That makes sense.

“Sir, may I know how to deal with Zen?”

Kamila took the initiative to ask.

The moment they had entered the villa, this group had asked Cara’s other subordinates to go to the periphery to keep an eye outside.

Therefore, only Kamila could do the chores here.

Hearing the term “Sir,” Cole was stunned. “Uh, I haven’t married Miss Williams…”

“Shut up!”

Cara interrupted him.

Cole did not dare to speak anymore.

Hugh smiled.

“Get someone to bury him and inform his wife and daughter. Remember to send someone to settle this properly…” Cara instructed him. After pausing for a moment, she continued, “It’s safer to bring him back to the country. Don’t leak the battle between Cole and Zen.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Kamila nodded.
