"Boom!" His feet landed, and a terrifying force impacted the ground. The bluestone slabs beneath them shattered, scattering into countless fragments in all directions.
Wu Yuan rolled to dissipate the force, then dodged to the side like lightning.
"You've lost your weapons, and this is all your fault. Die." The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth's eyes were sharp, his killing intent soaring. He swung his great hammer, his steps swift, and chased after the fleeing Wu Yuan like lightning.
This hammer strike, seemingly casual, was actually astonishingly powerful.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Two flying daggers shot from Wu Yuan's palm like lightning, aimed directly at the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth.
Their speed was terrifying.
"Hmph! A mere parlor trick!" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth swung his dual hammers in a wide arc, smashing into both flying daggers mid-air.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The flying daggers, imbued with tens of thousands of pounds of force, were instantly obstructed and deflected to the sides.
One flying dagger pierced the trunk of a large tree, causing it to collapse, while the other carved a large gash in the courtyard wall, sending dust flying.
Meanwhile, the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth's speed was also hindered and slowed.
"Clang~"
Wu Yuan finally finished rolling to dissipate the force and seized the mountain-splitting saber that Yang Long had sent flying aside!
He leaped up, saber in hand.
He stood in a standoff with the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth.
"You think changing weapons will let you win?" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth held his dual hammers, pacing leisurely, and said coldly, "Weapons are just aids, and it takes a long time to master one. This is my junior brother's saber. You just picked it up, what can you do?" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth stared at Wu Yuan.
Using words to constantly undermine the opponent's confidence was a common tactic among skilled fighters.
Combat was never purely about strength, nor was it decided by the strength of moves.
Combat will and on-the-spot performance were equally important.
"I didn't expect to encounter a top-tier expert in tiny Li City," Wu Yuan's voice was hoarse. Beneath the bronze mask, his eyes blazed with endless fighting spirit. "You are worthy of me using my true weapon, and even more worthy of me using my full strength."
"Crackling~"
Wu Yuan's bones and muscles let out slight explosive sounds. To the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth's shocked gaze, Wu Yuan, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, instantly grew to 1.8 meters!
"Bone Shifting?"
The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth was incredulous. "You were fighting me in a Bone Shifting state just now?"
Bone Shifting was not unfamiliar to the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth. Like him, as a top-tier expert, even if he couldn't achieve Internal Vision, his control over his body was extremely high, allowing for minor Bone Shifting, though not as exaggerated as Wu Yuan's. However, a normal physical state was usually the most suitable for a martial artist's combat. In a Bone Shifting state, a martial artist's strength would be greatly reduced. After all, Wu Yuan had been very strong just now; now that he had returned to his normal height and bone structure, his strength would only be more terrifying.
"So what if it's Bone Shifting?"
"The strength amplification is limited! Today, you will surely die!" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth's eyes were icy. "However, encountering an opponent like you is rare. To show my respect, I will also use my strongest power to kill you." The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth dared not be careless.
As his words fell.
"Boom!" "Boom!" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth swung his great hammers, the air itself seemed to let out a sharp hiss, and he struck at Wu Yuan like lightning.
His speed was faster! The power of his hammers was more terrifying! Moreover, his hammer techniques had changed. If his previous hammer techniques were grand and open, with each strike exerting maximum force, then his current techniques were continuous and mighty, ceaseless.
"Spears are just my weapon for dealing with groups; my specialty is saber techniques!" Wu Yuan stared intently at the attacking great hammers. His fighting spirit was also incredibly strong; he felt his blood boiling. Wu Yuan had encountered some Martial Dao Grandmasters in the Federation in his past life who were no less than this Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth, and some were even more formidable. However, Wu Yuan had never experienced such a life-or-death battle. He felt stimulated to the extreme, his spirit reaching an unprecedented state. In the face of life and death, there is great terror. In the face of life and death, one can also maximize their life potential, something no training or sparring can compare to.
"Triple Extreme Strength, kill!" Wu Yuan's skin, tendons, membranes, and bones vibrated simultaneously, as if integrating into one, truly becoming a unified whole. With his spine as the core, an endless stream of power surged from his limbs and joints, channeling into his arms and legs. His physical potential soared to its peak state.
"Clang!" A saber light, heavy as a mountain, flashed out, blocking the terrifying great hammer strike.
"Bang!" Even though he guided the force to the side, Wu Yuan, with his triple strength combined, had unleashed sixty thousand pounds of force. Yet, he still felt an unimaginably terrifying force impacting him. His blood and qi surged, and he could barely hold onto the mountain-splitting saber! He was sent flying backward violently, crashing into the house behind him, causing countless wooden blocks and tiles to scatter.
"Nearly a hundred thousand jin of immense strength?" Wu Yuan was shocked as he burst out of the pile of bricks and tiles.
"Clang!" He had no time to think as he flashed out another lightning-fast blade strike, colliding with the great hammer. This time, however, he easily blocked it.
"Fifty thousand jin of strength?" Wu Yuan instantly understood.
This Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth had actually mastered 'Double Extreme Strength'. Although not very proficient, he could still unleash 'two layers of force' at critical moments.
Doubling the force meant a hundred thousand jin of immense strength.
How terrifying!
Extreme Strength, a special technique for unleashing force after achieving a high degree of body control, possessed terrifying power but also placed an immense burden on the body. It could only be used as a finishing move and should not be easily employed.
Using it too much could result in a period of recuperation for minor injuries, or even death from exhaustion for severe ones.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!" Hammer shadows flew wildly, reaching an extreme.
They tore through the air, producing piercing sounds. Their might was far superior to before. Although Wu Yuan was constantly pushed back by the bombardment, he still managed to resist.
The fierce battle between the two masters caused a nearby house to collapse!
The courtyard wall in front of them seemed like paper and also crumbled under the impact.
Some Fierce Tiger Gang members who hadn't escaped yet stared dumbfoundedly at the terrifying battle, which was beyond their imagination.
In the blink of an eye, the two had clashed a total of fifty-eight times.
The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth had two new wounds on his arm, but they were only superficial. He easily stopped the bleeding with his muscle control.
The more they fought, the more shocked he became.
"Where did this person come from? His strength is too astonishing. I used Extreme Force Blade five times, and he still wasn't injured?"
"His blade technique is too terrifying, simply flawless. I was faster, yet I got injured first."
"If not for the treasure armor protecting me, I might already be dead." The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth was inwardly shaken: "Does he really have sixty thousand jin of strength? Or has he reached the realm of 'Hard and Soft Integration' that Master spoke of?"
The more he thought, the more fearful he became!
Moreover, after using Extreme Force Blade five times, the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth felt his body weakening, as if it had been hollowed out.
The damage to his body was too great!
"I can't win, I'm leaving!" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth suddenly unleashed a powerful hammer strike, his speed increasing by several tenths. He fiercely smashed towards Wu Yuan, but his steps were tentative, as he prepared to leap onto the roof and escape.
Wu Yuan seemed to see through his intentions.
"Take this blade strike!" Wu Yuan advanced instead of retreating. His figure blurred almost completely as terrifying blade lights flashed, slashing towards the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth.
One strike after another!
Each strike stronger than the last!
Thousand Mountain Blade!!
This was Wu Yuan's strongest blade technique from his previous life, the one that allowed him to stand at the pinnacle of human Federation Martial Dao. It was a full-power attack, mobilizing all his muscles, bones, skin, and spirit to reach their peak. It could unleash multiple blade lights in an instant, with their intent stacking up like an unshakeable mountain, hence the name 'Thousand Mountain'.
This blade technique placed an immense burden on the body and could not be used lightly. In his previous life, Wu Yuan's physical quality reached its peak, allowing him to unleash up to twenty-nine strikes.
Today, it was the first time he had used Thousand Mountain Blade since his transmigration.
In an instant.
A total of seventeen blade lights were unleashed!
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" A series of weapon collisions. The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth, fighting desperately, managed to block the first fifteen strikes.
On the sixteenth strike, the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth dodged the vital point of his neck. However, the blade light passed through the gap between his arm guard and soft armor, instantly slicing off his entire shoulder.
"Ah~" The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth screamed in agony, dropping his great hammer. His imposing aura plummeted, and blood poured out.
"Escape!"
The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth knew that his life hung by a thread and retreated backward with all his might.
But the seventeenth strike still came, precisely slicing through his beast-clothed garment and the buckle connecting his close-fitting soft armor.
"Bang~" His clothes exploded, and the soft armor shattered into several pieces. A wooden box also fell from the inner layer of the armor.
A horrifying wound appeared on the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth's chest, bleeding profusely.
He dared not waste any time grabbing the wooden box.
Whoosh!
Blood gushing, the Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth, with his upper body bare, fled rapidly into the distance at astonishing speed.
"Today's humiliation will be repaid in the future! Even if you flee to the three overseas states, you won't escape." The Beast-clothed Tall and Thin Youth's voice was filled with endless hatred.
How could he not hate?
Losing an arm severely weakened him, and he had also lost an important treasure.
This trip was a huge loss!
"Seek revenge in the future?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, his aura soaring as he watched the other party leave without pursuing.
