Shaken, Part Two
"Why are you in such a hurry, senior brother? We still have a chance," the Spectacled Monk continued.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Kong Chi asked in a deep voice.
"With your speed and agility, you could actually swim across that distance in time."
The physical abilities of Worship God Grandmaster far exceed those of ordinary people; even in the waves, he should be able to keep up with the speed of the ship in front.
"Also, if there's really no other way, we can mobilize our forces to intercept them directly at Jiuzhou Port."
"Jiuzhou Port? Not bad!" Kong Chi clapped his hands. "As expected of Hui Cheng, he really has a sharp mind!"
"Not at all, it's just that you were in a fit of anger and didn't notice. Once you calm down, you can easily figure out this little thing. I was just giving you a reminder," Hui Cheng said respectfully.
"Furthermore, I've heard that Zhang Ying has close associates in Wushan Prefecture, where he once gathered a group of subordinates at the Golden Wing Tower. Perhaps we can send people there to take them down. If we can threaten him, that would be best; if not, it will only take a bit of effort."
"Anyway, now that Heavenly Treasure Palace is no longer protecting us, these people will have to be wiped out sooner or later." Hui Cheng pushed up his glasses and said calmly.
"Great idea! This Zhang Ying is heading towards Jiuzhou Port. Judging from this, could his destination be Wushan Prefecture? It's very possible!" Kong Chi thought to himself.
"That should be it," he said, becoming increasingly certain.
Clap, clap, clap. Suddenly, a clear clapping sound came from the side of the boat.
Everyone turned their heads sharply towards the sound.
"Who!?"
Kong Chi skipped a beat. The sound was so close, at most only a dozen meters away, yet he hadn't noticed it! The Spectacled Monk's expression changed slightly. He took a few steps back, his back against the ship's side, close to the broken gap in the hull.
The sailors on the ship unconsciously drew their weapons.
More than ten experts from the Western Sect dispersed warily, looking from different angles toward the direction from which the applause was coming.
In the fog.
A burly, Shadow was crouching on the side of the ship, right at the gap created by the cannonball.
The Shadow stood up, revealing a towering body over two meters tall.
With a whoosh, his soaked shirt was ripped off and thrown on the ground, revealing his strong, muscular upper body.
"Could you repeat what you just said?"
The figure slowly approached, and the outline of the face gradually became clear. It was a black metal mask that only revealed the eyes.
It Zhang Rongfang had just swum across from the sea.
"Playing tricks!! Kill him!!" Kong Chi shouted fiercely.
Some of the sailors nearby raised their guns and aimed.
Bang! A gunshot rang out.
Zhang Rongfang had anticipated this, so he moved to the left in advance and threw out a handful of wood chips.
Puff puff puff.
A group of unarmored sailors fell to the ground.
Bang! The deck beneath Zhang Rongfang's feet exploded, and he leaped up, dodging to the right to avoid a barrage of flying Flying Dagger and hidden weapons.
At the same time, he pointed out with one finger of his right hand.
In an instant, the index finger seemed to split into dozens of finger shadows that landed on the approaching Western Sect members.
The group of people immediately scattered and fell to the ground, their blood vessels severed by a single finger, leaving them unable to move.
In an instant, Kong Chi, holding his Zen staff, leaped into the air from behind at great speed and struck down with the staff.
This strike, in terms of both power and speed, has reached the true pinnacle among the Worship God Grandmaster! Although Kong Chi's brain is all muscle, his strength is truly not weak, otherwise he would not have been able to successfully escape from Shangguan Feihe's hands.
Taking advantage of Zhang Rongfang's attack on others, he disregarded their faction and launched a surprise attack immediately.
Moreover, even when he launched a sneak attack, he unleashed his full strength to the best of his ability.
Except for the Limit State and the Final Form, all other forces were used.
Oh no!
In an instant, Zhang Rongfang reached back and grabbed the Zen staff.
The canes struck each other, producing a sound like metal clashing.
A huge, low tremor spread and exploded from between the canes.
The sound wave stunned everyone around, and they involuntarily covered their ears.
Click.
A splinter flew out of Kong Chi's hand and struck Zhang Rongfang's mask squarely.
The mask shattered with a crack and fell onto the deck, revealing a face beneath that was completely unexpected by everyone.
Kong Chi didn't have time to see it. Instead, as soon as the staff touched the other person, he felt a terrifying force rebound from the other person's hand.
This person's strength is even greater than his current full-power strength!
After the blow, he flew backward, crashed into the mast, slid off the impact, and came to a stop.
The mast snapped slowly with a crack. The sails billowed down like clouds.
Kong Chi his chest heaving with blood and qi, and stood still, trying to catch his breath.
While he was catching his breath, Zhang Rongfang had already moved swiftly, subduing and defeating the rest of the Western Sect members and the sailors on the ship.
Blood splattered on the deck.
At first, some people would resist fiercely.
But no matter how they fought back, Zhang Rongfang easily evaded all their attacks.
In terms of individual strength, only about ten people from the Western Sect were slightly better.
However, they lost most of their strength from the very beginning due to the Meridian Seal.
At this point, the remaining dozens of crew members who were outside had mostly collapsed to the ground.
Puff.
With his final move, he snapped the Dwarf captain's neck, slowly turned around, and fixed his gaze on Kong Chi.
"Now, it's just you."
"It's you!!?" Only Kong Chi see the other person's face clearly.
However, no matter how many times he imagined and speculated about that face, none of the answers were the same as what he was seeing now.
Not only him, but probably no one would have imagined that the person in front of them would actually shout, "You are Zhang Ying!! No! You are not Zhang Ying!? Who are you!?" Kong Chi looked at the people lying on the ground around him.
He was filled with shock and anger, but he hesitated for a moment because of the shock, and the other party actually looked at the dead and wounded fellow disciples and sailors around him.
Without sailors, they have no way to leave the sea; the enemy is cutting off their lifeline!
"You're courting death!!" Kong Chi understood immediately and roared as he charged forward.
The two Limit State of Yaksha and Arhat simultaneously erupt and overlap.
Immediately, his muscles swelled and expanded, stretching his monk's robe.
His body rapidly grew from over two meters to three meters.
His skin turned black and silver patterns appeared, but his body proportions became strangely longer, with his arms reaching past his knees.
Zhang Rongfang was already quite familiar with the Limit State of the Western Sect.
At this moment, remain calm and unhurried, and activate all three Limit State simultaneously.
Spirit and Will United, Yin Yang Harmony, Critical State.
His size swelled again, reaching three meters in height. His skin was a grayish-white, like rock.
The two men touched the ground with their toes and lunged forward simultaneously.
Boom! The entire ship shuddered slightly, and ripples spread outwards from the hull.
Fist against fist, leg against leg, simultaneous anticipation, Enemy Anticipation.
Both of them relied on speed to fight speed, and if they couldn't use real force, they would quickly change their moves.
To outsiders, such a fight would only appear as a blurry shadow rapidly flashing between the two.
The stalemate didn't last long, and soon a muffled thud was heard.
Zhang Rongfang stumbled back several steps, leaving several large holes in the deck.
He was punched squarely in the right chest.
"Interesting. You're much stronger than Kong Wu."
His Enemy Anticipation the enemy was still far behind that of his opponent.
If he hadn't had the advantage in strength and speed, he probably would have been defeated from the start.
Ultimately, Zhang Rongfang himself knew that he was actually using Dark Light Vision to mimic the Enemy Anticipation.
In fact, the two are completely different abilities.
Dark Light Vision has significant limitations.
If the opponent is wearing thick clothing or equipment, it will not be effective.
During intense combat, the opponent will inevitably have something blocking their way to some extent.
With the rapid changes in Qi and blood, Dark Light Vision must first 'see', then 'predict', and then 'react'.
Compared to directly 'predicting' the Enemy Anticipation and taking the initiative, 'responding' requires an extra step.
According to Zuo Han, Enemy Anticipation requires a comprehensive understanding of the opponent.
It involves using the five senses to grasp the general idea, understanding the moves and martial arts techniques, and anticipating the opponent's offensive and defensive intentions to predict their moves.
This kind of prediction speed is extremely fast, and often it can even be done without thinking.
It's like an answer that can be reached from many kinds of questions.
To Enemy Anticipation, all you need to do is grasp the answer; as for what methods or questions the opponent uses to achieve their goal, that's irrelevant.
Actually, none of it matters.
Because no matter what, the other party's goal is the same.
"Could it be... that you killed Kong Wu too?!" Kong Chi's expression changed upon hearing this.
He stared intently at the other person's young face.
Yes, the other person looked to be no more than thirty-something, and didn't Worship God! How could someone who didn't Worship God fight me to this extent?!
And he even killed Kong Wu!?
Kong Chi could hardly believe his ears.
What kind of monster is this?!?
Aside from the Extreme Realm grandmaster, the Worship God Grandmaster are basically invincible!
This is essentially a fact that all forces have personally verified through their battle records.
The limit for ordinary people is the Grandmaster, and even a mortal Grandmaster might not be able to defeat some of the stronger Worship God Three Voids.
But now... "The Extreme Realm!?" Kong Ji knew he had guessed the answer. "Such speed and power? Are you Heavenly Demon? Or the Extreme Law?!" He quickly adjusted his breathing and blood circulation, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Oh? What's different about the Extreme Realm?" Zhang Rongfang asked curiously.
"It seems he is neither Heavenly Demon nor Extreme Law." With just one sentence, Kong Chi judged Zhang Rongfang's condition.
Looking at the other person's arm, which was completely unharmed after a head-on collision with him.
Kong Chi run down his spine; he simply couldn't imagine it.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
"Monsters?" Zhang Rongfang shook his head. "Unfortunately, in my eyes, you are more like monsters than I am."
He looked up at the sky.
At this moment, the sun was faintly shining down from above the mist, illuminating him.
He turned around, revealing a blood-red lotus flower behind him.
"Did you see that?"
Zhang Rongfang said softly.
"Whether it's Extreme Realm or Worship God, you've both gone astray long ago."
He spread his arms and flexed his back muscles.
"Our martial arts are based on martial arts and guided by the principles of Tao. We gather our essence and form the Three Flowers."
"Daoist Scripture the Daoist scriptures say: 'The Three Flowers Gather on Crown, Five Energies Merge to Origin!' Only by gathering Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and spirit into a lotus, and condensing the Three Flowers, can one follow the correct path."
"And you lot have strayed from the right path and have long since fallen into demonic possession."
Sunlight shone down, falling on the Blood Lotus on Zhang Rongfang's back, reflecting a faint blood-red glow.
At this moment, combined with his solemn and lofty posture and expression, he subtly gave people a sense of inexplicable sacred beauty.
"You... you... this?!" Kong Chi stared at the beautiful Blood Lotus formed by blood vessels on the other person's strong muscles, and for some reason, he felt that he simply could not refute it.
He even began to waver in his belief in Worship God Gods and Buddhas.
If they could become so powerful on their own, why would they need to Worship God?
Could it be that he is the one who has truly embarked on the righteous path of cultivation? Is it possible that humans can become so powerful without Worship God? If he can, then why can't we?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Kong Chi felt as if everything he had believed in before was beginning to waver.
He could sense that the other party did not Worship God, and he could sense that the other party was just as powerful as himself! Countless thoughts surged and collided in Kong Chi's mind.
He stood there blankly, then suddenly...
Boom! A loud explosion rang out.
Kong Chi's entire upper body exploded, turning into countless Silver Thread.
