What Would You Do?

Liu Yuanfei wielded his rod with spear techniques, thrusting straight at Gu Shaoshang's throat!

Boom!

Gu Shaoshang pressed down with his Fist Seal, shattering the chunk of concrete Liu Yuanfei had kicked over! It collided heavily with Liu Yuanfei's White Ape Steel Rod!

Boom!

Gu Shaoshang's immense strength and inner force erupted at once! Liu Yuanfei's iron rod buzzed violently before suddenly springing up into the air!

"Hey!"

Ignoring the turmoil in his organs from that punch, Liu Yuanfei sprang up and seized the end of the rod!

His body swelled as though engorged with blood in midair, and every tendon and bone throughout him crackled like a string of firecrackers!

His face instantly turned blood-red and purple, like violet crystal, becoming exceptionally terrifying. Bloodshot veins tangled over his eyes as though his eyeballs might pop from their sockets.

The blood vessels all over his body bulged dramatically, turning purplish-black, while cords of sinew bound him like iron chains!

"Tai!"

The iron rod whirled! It cleaved down from above, smashing toward Gu Shaoshang's head—a tremendous chop like Mount Tai suddenly collapsing!

The steel rod split the air, thunder exploding from level ground. The fierce wind spiraled with a wula-wula howl; no fist or kick could compare to the majesty of this strike!

At that moment, Gu Shaoshang seemed to see a bold, savage demon ape charging down from the sky before him!

The howling wind pierced his ears!

The iron rod dragged a pillar of white air through the sky as it crashed down with wild ferocity!

At that moment, Liu Yuanfei's momentum surged like a rainbow. He showed not the slightest mercy!

He was determined to beat Gu Shaoshang to death with a single blow!

The force of this massive chop was even fiercer than Gu Shaoshang's still-incomplete Buzhou Break! Even a man of iron would be smashed to pieces!

It was precisely like Golden Monkey Rises with Thousand-Catty Rod!

Boom! Boom!

Gu Shaoshang stamped the ground, making a sound as if he were about to tread straight through the earth!

The hard concrete rippled as though it had become water! It cracked apart in wave-like patterns!

The enormous rebounding force traveled from his legs to his waist, from waist to hips, hips to shoulders, shoulders to arms, arms to elbows, and elbows to hands—every joint thundered in succession!

Like a drumbeat!

Like cannon fire!

Like thunder exploding!

His fist was like a white jade pillar holding up the heavens, blasting upward!

It was as though the heavy earth itself had overturned, buckling the sky upside down!

This was the second essential form of Gu Shaoshang's fist art—Universe Inversion!

Buzzz!

A tremendous Sonic Boom, like the long blare of a ship's horn, erupted violently!

Gu Shaoshang's Universe Inversion, carrying rolling sonic booms, met Liu Yuanfei's iron rod head-on as it carved a white streak from above!

Having drawn out his body's potential, Liu Yuanfei unleashed incomparably tremendous power!

Bang!

Fist and rod collided once more!

Liu Yuanfei let out a cry, his body shooting ten meters into the air with a howl! He sprayed out a mist of blood in a great mouthful!

The tendons throughout Gu Shaoshang's body trembled, making sounds like tightly drawn bowstrings!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

His chest and abdomen sank straight into the concrete! Having discharged too much force at once, his entire body was driven into the ground like a wooden stake!

Puh!

Gu Shaoshang circulated his force through his entire body and spat out a mouthful of black blood! His expression shifted slightly—his internal organs had already suffered minor injuries!

After coughing up blood in midair, Liu Yuanfei was caught by the long-legged beauty Mo Yunyan, whose face had changed drastically!

His face was pale, and he was barely clinging to life!

When Guoshu masters exchanged blows, there was simply no such thing as fighting for days and nights!

More often than not, victory and defeat were decided within just a few moves!

Crack!

Before Gu Shaoshang could catch his breath, a faint sound reached his ears, and his heart abruptly lurched!

A perilous sensation, like needles pricking his back, rose within him. Every hair on his body stood on end like an alarmed cat's fur!

In the distance, every member of the Big Circle Gang in camouflage pulled out a handgun!

In perfect unison, they flicked off the safeties! Aimed!

"Stop! Don't!" Mo Yunyan, supporting Liu Yuanfei, paled and shouted to stop them!

She knew all too well that for a master whose kung fu had seeped into his marrow, one at the Transforming Force level or above, the instant the safeties were released was the instant they sought their own deaths!

"Ha!"

Gu Shaoshang's energy burst forth, and his hair stood on end as though electrified!

His ten fingers spread wide as baskets, and he slammed both hands violently against the ground! The concrete instantly cracked like a turtle shell. Then he grabbed, scooping a huge handful of shattered stones into his palms!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Amid a shrill sound like a rain of arrows tearing through the air, the handful of stones sprayed forth like several shotguns firing at once, blanketing the Big Circle Gang elites over twenty meters away!

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Da! Da! Da!"

Gu Shaoshang shot up from the concrete crater like a scallion pulled from dry earth. Only then did the screams and chaotic gunfire ring out!

These men truly deserved to be called the Big Circle Gang's elite. Even caught off guard, over half of them managed to evade Gu Shaoshang's scattered barrage with only light injuries!

They were already aiming at Gu Shaoshang again and opening fire!

Gu Shaoshang raised a brow and shot forward like an arrow. His body weaved and shifted without pattern, like a snake crawling and a dragon winding. Dodging another burst of gunfire, he arrived before the group of burly men!

His five fingers spread wide, like a dragon and an eagle!

The wind howled through midair, erupting with terrifying force, just like Five Finger Mountain descending in a grab.

With this grab, any metal, stone, or wood would have five holes torn through it!

Any chopping-grasping force or clothing-touching force, once trained to the depths, became grappling techniques. Used upon the human body, they could immediately sever tendons and dislocate bones, shatter joints, break arms, and snap bones—a killing art!

Severing tendons and dislocating bones, if one's skill was insufficient, could only injure the target's tendons and bones and strain their muscles.

But at the highest realm, one could imitate Li Yuanba, the greatest warrior under heaven in The Legends of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and tear a person into pieces!

This was the most cruel, vicious, and bloody of techniques!

If their firing from behind had not ignited Gu Shaoshang's fury, he would not have used it so readily!

In an instant, claw winds flew in all directions across the field, and screams rang out one after another!

Gu Shaoshang darted through the entire crowd, claw winds bursting forth!

Blood!

Screams!

A dense bloody stench soared into the sky, but Gu Shaoshang's face remained cold and unmoved!

His movements were swift as lightning, flowing like drifting clouds and running water. From the very start, he unleashed deadly killing moves. His claw winds shrouded everything, and every strike was delivered at full force without the slightest mercy.

How fast was Gu Shaoshang! How great was his strength!

With a crack!

Gu Shaoshang smashed apart the combined attack of two burly men with a single punch. His figure moved like a ghost, and then he took one step forward, instantly closing in on one of them!

Like a butterfly weaving between flowers, Gu Shaoshang clasped the man's arm with one claw! With only a shake! The burly man managed just half a scream before the shake snapped every tendon and bone in his body!

Then, with a backward step, he set his hand upon the other man's head!

Just like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in martial arts novels, he tore five holes directly into the man's skull!

One touch!

One grab!

One shake!

In merely a few breaths, twenty burly men lay dead across the ground!

Gu Shaoshang stood like a demon god upon the bloody field of Asura, staring at Mo Yunyan and Liu Yuanfei. His gaze revealed a cold, merciless expression: all who opposed him could be killed!

"Cough! Cough!"

Liu Yuanfei, who had been as valiant as an ancient demonic ape moments earlier, now wore a face as pale as paper. His body was so frail it seemed he would collapse at a touch.

He pushed away Mo Yunyan's supporting hand, forcibly drew up a breath, and leaned on the White Ape Steel Rod that had made his name, staring at Gu Shaoshang.

"Your martial arts have reached a divine and wondrous realm! This immense strength of yours is the greatest this old man has ever seen! Two punches shattered all the major tendons in my body—truly, you are incomparably formidable! You are one of the foremost Great Masters under heaven!"

There was unexpectedly no hatred or venom on Liu Yuanfei's face. His gaze merely drifted as he let out a sigh.

"To exchange blows with a master like you! I can die without regrets!"

He suddenly straightened his body, and his breath was gone.

Gu Shaoshang felt some regret in his heart. A grandmaster-level martial artist like Liu Yuanfei would not remain unknown upon reaching the Main World. He might even soar into the heavens in a single leap.

Unfortunately, he had spent his entire life without ever seeing hope of advancing another step.

This was the shackles of the world!

"...Miss Mo Yunyan, I Beat to Death the Big Circle Gang's leader, as well as so many of your brothers! If I let you go, what would you do?"

Gu Shaoshang looked at Mo Yunyan, whose face carried a trace of grief, and spoke coldly.
