NOVPUBWith the divine charm of the True Beast Divine Deer integrated, Su Changkong’s Deer-playing Body Techniques reached an unimaginable realm, where he could traverse several tens of meters with a single step, maneuvering and shifting effortlessly as he pleased!
But to everyone’s surprise, even when faced with such an attack, Tan You was still able to react swiftly. Without waiting for the moves to finish, he turned his palm into a claw, spun on his feet, twisted his body, and pushed out with a reverse palm strike, unifying mind and intent — equally plain and unadorned but actually combining body and intent as one!
In terms of the power of intent, Tan You specialized in palm techniques, and had condensed his Palm Intent decades ago. With decades of cultivation and accumulation, he was far beyond Shi Bupo, and each strike was sheer perfection to the utmost degree.
"Boom!"
With the collision of fist and palm, the ground trembled violently. The surrounding ink-painted flowers, grass, and trees, as if brutally kneaded, burst into dust from the shock waves, and black ink splattered everywhere, scattering the perfect scroll into a chaotic mess.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Song and the others all backed away far distances, for fear of being affected by the aftershocks of the two combatants’ battle.
"Crack Crack Crack!"
At the moment of the collision of fist and palm, Tan You’s expression changed slightly, feeling a shocking, annihilative force of fist invading, which blasted the layer of condensed, compressed demonic power barrier that covered his arms into smithereens.
Although the demonic power barrier healed back to its original state in the blink of an eye with a thought, it was enough to alarm Tan You.
Having fused with the crystal core of a superior Demon Monster, Tan You’s demonic power was top-notch, always condensed into a barrier protecting his whole body. Even a typical Five-Qi Grandmaster going all out could barely tear open a crack in it, but Su Changkong’s punch easily shattered the demonic power barrier.
Didn’t this mean that a casual strike from Su Changkong surpassed the full strength of an ordinary Five-Qi Grandmaster?
No wonder Shi Bupo was punched through his body; Su Changkong’s punch, containing disintegration and shock, was suicidal to resist with one’s body!
"Thousand Hearts One Intention Palm — Heart Destruction!"
Tan You did not underestimate Su Changkong and instantly struck out after one collision. He pushed forth his right palm toward Su Changkong’s chest, emitting a force that seemed to destroy everything, almost stopping Su Changkong’s heart, a powerful expression of Palm Intent. Even without hitting the target, it gave off a sense of utter heart and soul annihilation.
And during this process, Tan You’s intent locked onto every inch of space around him. He knew that Su Changkong’s peculiar movements could seem like teleportation, but he could also follow instantly, ensuring that his palm strike would ultimately hit Su Changkong.
Tan You was not like the average Monster Warrior; he was not only a demon’s body, even before becoming a Monster Warrior, he was already a Five-Qi Grandmaster. With decades of arduous cultivation and naturally remarkable talent, his movements and Martial Arts Skills reached a level that ordinary people could not even hold a candle to.
"Roar!"
Su Changkong also integrated Blade Intent into his boxing, making his entire fist reveal an impregnable sharpness. The Tiger Play Boxing technique "White Tiger Roars and Kills" was executed, with a fist accompanied by a deafening roar of a tiger, and the air filled with rampant Blade Qi waves mixed within the sound waves, pouring down wildly and sweeping everything!
"Boom!"
Once again, they collided, and the deafening explosion sounded, resonating the force of heart-shattering and soul-destroying impact, accompanied by the sound of the tiger’s roar and blade’s howl, spreading far and wide, causing the Shi Family warriors and Li Family disciples nearby to feel dizzy and disoriented.
Even if it was not directed at them, some of the less powerful individuals felt their hearts ache and their bodies as if lacerated by a blade; blood even started seeping from their eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
"Move back even further! Get even further away!"
Li Song bellowed, although they were already far away, it still wasn’t enough, and they retreated an additional hundred meters.
"Terrifying... Too terrifying! Who is that white-haired man? He’s even stronger than Shi Bupo! And Mr. Su can face such a formidable opponent head-on?"
Meanwhile, they were also profoundly shaken. As the two combatants exchanged blows, even a casual strike was transcendental, beyond the reach of ordinary people who lacked even the qualifications to approach and watch the battle!
Su Changkong’s fists brought forth the sounds of tiger roars, intimidating both mind and body, while Tan You, with every palm and every move, merged Essence Qi Spirit as one. Harnessing the strong physique and demonic power of the demon monster, he wove layers upon layers of palm prints, sealing off the space around them.
"Boom boom boom!"
Each collision cracked the earth and caused the mountains and rivers to quake like an ink painting, while blade Qi swept across, shredding and grinding everything nearby to dust, hardly resembling a clash between two beings of flesh and blood.
"This Tan You… is indeed far more terrifying than Shi Bupo. Every punch of my ’White Tiger Roars and Kills’ causes sound waves to vibrate; even Shi Bupo’s ’Heavy Mountain’ can be broken through, yet the barrier of demonic power around his body, as soon as I shatter it, instantly reforms, leaving him unharmed!"
In his heart, Su Changkong marveled at Tan You’s formidable nature, his thickness of demonic power far surpassing that of those like Wind Sun Moon and Kuotuo by far too much.
As for Tan You, he too was feeling solemn, "In a head-on collision, I should have the advantage. Merely the rebounding force generated should be enough to damage him, but he manages to dissipate all the rebounding force with that mysterious body technique and can thus sustain head-on impacts with me!"
Tan You realized that to defeat Su Changkong, he must utilize his true abilities, or else Su Changkong’s slippery body technique would allow him to come and go as he pleased.
"Thousand Hearts One Intention. Lock Heart!"
At that moment, Tan You’s left hand suddenly clenched, and a surge of overwhelming True Qi and Palm Intent poured out, like a giant hand opening up to grasp the space in front, causing hearts within to stop beating and thoughts to stall, leaving one stupefied as if a living dead, to be slaughtered at will!
The palm technique Tan You excelled in pushed his Palm Intent to the extreme, affecting the spirit and Sea of Consciousness of the enemy, exceedingly terrifying.
"Heart Destruction Seal!"
With a single ’Lock Heart’ move confining Su Changkong, Tan You’s right palm struck out, forming a vast palm print, the compressed air twisting, aiming to blast Su Changkong with a single strike!
But even when faced with Tan You’s ultimate attack, Su Changkong didn’t need to think; it was almost an inherent bodily instinct that presented a response.
Guided by Essence Qi Spirit, an immense amount of nature’s spiritual energy was drawn in, morphing into the phantom of a white tiger over two taels in length, its fur billowing in the wind, eyes flashing with ferocity and emanating an intimidating regal majesty!
"Roar!"
A deafening tiger roar exploded, as if standing atop the pinnacle of the world, with visible sound waves spreading out like tumultuous waves!
"Crack crack crack!"
These sound waves shattered the earth, and even the void showed extreme distortions, with slender black cracks emerging.
"Boom!"
Tan You, who was about to deliver his fatal move, felt countless sound waves bursting towards him, causing vibrations and disintegration, blasting the barrier of demonic power on his body to pieces, and throwing him uncontrollably backward.
And at that moment, Tan You’s complexion finally changed. He cried out in disbelief, "Is this… a Martial Arts Divine Skill?"
