Ferocious!

Boom!

Amid the tourists' screams, the enormous bronze statue crashed to the ground!

"Ah!"

The ground suddenly shook, sending dust billowing into the sky. The tourists screamed like mad and ran for the shrine gates.

Through the swirling dust, Gu Shaoshang stood with one foot on the bronze statue. With a burst of force from beneath his foot, there came a clang, and the statue's entire head split open. He casually lifted it in one hand!

The bronze head was solid bronze, weighing at least several thousand jin—larger than Gu Shaoshang's entire body! But Gu Shaoshang was inhuman, capable of supporting an elephant with one arm. This much weight was only just right for him!

Everyone kept far away from Gu Shaoshang. Only the tour guide in gold-rimmed glasses sat collapsed on the ground, trembling violently. When the bronze statue had fallen, he had nearly been smashed into pulp.

"They came fast!"

Gu Shaoshang shot the guide a disgusted glance. Amid the chaotic screams and footsteps reaching his ears, he could hear squads of synchronized marching—and the sound of firearms having their safeties released!

Bending down beneath the terrified gaze of the gold-rimmed-glasses guide, he took the man's kerosene lighter, then carried the bronze head deeper inside.

Even while wielding a bronze object weighing several thousand jin, Gu Shaoshang remained incredibly fast. Each step launched him more than ten meters forward. Swinging the massive bronze head, he unleashed destruction greater than that of ten road rollers!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bronze torii gates! The purification office! The Noh theater!

Everywhere he passed became ruins!

"Destroying things really does feel great!" Gu Shaoshang laughed loudly as he stopped before a worship hall.

This worship hall was likely the largest building in Fusang Shrine. Huge drapes hung from either side of its eaves, while golden chrysanthemum crests adorned its two great doors.

Beside it stood a cluster of low wooden courtyards. A memory flashed through Gu Shaoshang's mind—he seemed to have seen this place in a photograph of some high-ranking Fusang official worshipping at the shrine!

Gu Shaoshang stepped into the main hall, and a tremendous blast suddenly erupted!

Boom!

A violent burst of astral force tore through the air. A withered hand, like a chicken's claw, lashed toward Gu Shaoshang's throat like an iron whip!

Gu Shaoshang raised an eyebrow. That iron-whip-like palm technique was from Aikido! Its wielder was a Dan energy master!

With a light step, he shot more than ten meters away like flowing water, evading the whip hand.

Countless memorial tablets were neatly arranged throughout the hall. With eyes as sharp as Gu Shaoshang's, he immediately spotted one bearing the Chinese characters "Tojo" among them!

Ten meters away, a skeletal old Fusang man glared at him hatefully. His face was so aged it was covered in liver spots, and he was gasping for breath.

"Can you still fight?" Gu Shaoshang set down the bronze head, swept his gaze across the hall, and spoke.

The Guoshu of the Dragon-Snake World emphasized training the sinews, bones, and skin externally, and cultivating a breath internally.

That was why this old master, whose muscles had already atrophied, still possessed such explosive power! His bones were hard, and the great tendons throughout his body were tougher than ox sinews!

But he only had the strength for a single burst. Unless one shattered the void, no matter how formidable a boxer was, he could not remain at peak combat strength forever.

"I'm old! I only have one strike left. Since even a sneak attack could not harm you, I can only go meet Amaterasu Omikami!"

The skeletal old Fusang man sighed. His eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and he panted heavily, looking like a man on his last legs.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, four guards sprang out from before and behind the hall's pillars, firing at the same time!

They aimed at Gu Shaoshang's arms, legs, heart, back of the heart, brow, and back of the head! Every avenue of evasion was sealed off!

All eight guards were skilled marksmen, and their coordination was flawless! It sounded as though there had only been a single gunshot!

Gu Shaoshang raised an eyebrow and abruptly leaped!

In that instant, his hands and feet seemed to vanish. His entire body curled into a ball in midair. He looked like a startled giant turtle, its head and limbs all withdrawing into its turtle shell!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Eight bullets struck the walls. Every one of the eight shots had missed!

Just then, Gu Shaoshang had exerted a slight force through his legs, bent his knees and leapt. At the same time, he tucked in his legs, curled his body, clasped his hands, and drew in his neck, compressing himself into a ball in midair. Like an old turtle startled into pulling back its limbs and head, he had dodged all eight bullets!

The eight guards cried out in alarm. To them, it was as if their enemy had vanished in an instant!

Before Gu Shaoshang had even landed, a violent explosion of air suddenly rushed toward him!

Boom!

The old man who had looked ready to die only moments ago suddenly sprang up. Blinding divine light flashed in his eyes—where was the previous cloudiness now?

This old Fusang man was ferocious beyond belief. With one stomp, he shattered the hall's floorboards and unleashed a single whip strike even fiercer than before!

He darted in front of Gu Shaoshang in a single step. Only as the single whip neared Gu Shaoshang's head did the rolling thunder of bursting air explode!

"So you deliberately showed weakness! What a crafty old bastard!"

Gu Shaoshang sneered, stretching his body out in midair as his sinews and bones suddenly snapped taut!

His arm drove straight downward, fingers forming a Fist Seal as he unleashed Buzhou Break!

In merely half a year, Gu Shaoshang's boxing had advanced tremendously. This Buzhou Break was far more ferocious than when he had fought Liu Yuanfei!

The air rippled like water. In that instant, heaven and earth seemed to fall silent; in the old Japanese man's entire world, it seemed as though only this fist existed!

Like a divine mountain collapsing!

The old Japanese man clearly saw Gu Shaoshang's fair, baby-fat hand crashing down from above!

To his shock and terror, the surrounding air seemed to have suddenly turned solid! Like a fish out of water, he could barely breathe!

How could human strength possibly throw such a punch?!

If he could not block this punch, he would certainly die!

Unprecedented terror flooded the old Japanese man's mind, and he let out a howl like a dying beast!

"Haah!"

The joints throughout his body trembled. He bent at the waist, withdrawing the whip-hand strike he had thrown, then crossed his hands in an X before his head, taking a defensive stance against Gu Shaoshang's terrifying fist as it came down like a toppled divine mountain!

His skin-and-bones body erupted with a crackling barrage of exploding bones! The tendons as thick as ox sinews drew taut!

Then—

Bang!

The sound of blood spraying wildly came from the old Japanese man's mouth, accompanied by the sound of bones coming apart and shattering, and even snap! snap! snap! snap! snap!—like bowstrings breaking!

Every bone and tendon in his body shattered and snapped! The punch drove him into the concrete like a wooden stake!

Only his head remained above the ground, blood flowing from all seven orifices!

He had actually been beaten to death with a single punch!

What ferocity! What immense strength!

After punching the old Japanese man to death, Gu Shaoshang borrowed the force of the blow and made a fish-like leap through the air, crossing more than ten meters!

He evaded the incoming bullets and reached the four Japanese guards on the left. As their faces twitched violently, he struck like lightning!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The four men flew backward, smashing over the altar table. Without even a groan, they died miserably!

I recommend a book by an author of the same type, Movie Emperor Reborn in the World of Cinema. It's quite well written—everyone, go slaughter it!
