Monkey Sword

Strong! Strong! Strong! Strong! Strong!

Liu Tian's three heavy punches were completely undisguised; he wanted them to know his target at a glance.

Facing fists that could be seen through, the three who had been aggressively advancing now had their spirits raised to the highest level.

This was not only because they had heard from Captain Edward about the Snake suffering a great loss at Liu Tian's hands, but also because Liu Tian's punches were so fast and so heavy.

Before the fist even arrived, the hurricane it generated had already lifted the three men's hair.

The intent contained within the fists charged into the three men's minds. Even without Liu Tian speaking a word, they understood his meaning—

If you can't take it, then die directly!

Although the punches seemed to be unleashed simultaneously, Liu Tian only had one left fist, so the power of the punches arrived in sequence.

The first to receive this punch was the monkey-faced Fighter, who stood on the Great Hammer and was no taller than 1.2 meters.

This Fighter had a gaunt face, a light build, and the ten claws on his hands emitted a faint glow, looking incredibly sharp.

Facing Liu Tian's attack, the monkey-faced Martial Artist, relying on his agile posture and lightning-fast reflexes, instantly counterattacked. His ten fingers closed and opened slightly, transforming into ten sharp treasure blades that slashed through the incoming fist-shadow in an instant. He then continued his momentum, easily slicing through Liu Tian's illusion.

However, the other two did not have his speed. They took the next two hits head-on. The Super Meat Mountain, who was last, was fine. The fat on its body rolled like waves, and it took a step back, dissipating Liu Tian's force. It seemed unharmed.

The Protein Queen, wielding the Great Hammer, suffered a disadvantage. Although Liu Tian hadn't used his full strength, she didn't have the same robust defense as her teammates, and her reaction speed didn't allow her to respond immediately. She could only take the blow head-on.

Liu Tian's powerful force penetrated from the outside in, passing through two layers of defense—skin and muscle—before directly striking her heart, causing blood to involuntarily trickle from the corner of her mouth.

The weakest of the three was the woman who had come out first.

In just one exchange, Liu Tian instantly gauged the strength of the three.

Could it be said that "what you see is what you get" was very fitting for Martial Artists? The strength and fighting styles of the three were almost identical to their appearances.

The Super Meat Mountain, with the strongest defense and greatest strength; the monkey-faced elder, the fastest and most agile; and the woman, who was between the two—nicely put, she was well-rounded, but bluntly, she was utterly mediocre.

With one successful strike, Liu Tian closed in to his optimal range. He didn't offer them a chance to catch their breath. After the probing attack, he immediately followed up with the fastest move, the Heart Severing Path, targeting the weakest point among the three.

But Liu Tian's advantage of surprise was lost. The Meat Mountain, having reacted, unleashed a speed completely different from its appearance. Before Liu Tian's attack could reach it, it pulled the woman in front of it back. The fat on its arm instantly tensed, bracing against Liu Tian's blow. Then, its other large hand formed a net, intending to grab Liu Tian at the cost of taking the full impact.

The elder, who had been standing on the woman's Great Hammer, leaped lightly behind Liu Tian. His fingers interlaced, silently cutting through the air and blocking Liu Tian's retreat.

Monkey Fist. Scooping the Moon!

The woman, who had been pulled behind the Meat Mountain, seemed to have anticipated this. Although she didn't use any profound techniques, her body spun rapidly, and the giant Great Hammer whistled as it sealed the gap between the monkey-faced Fighter and the Meat Mountain.

As expected, they were a tested trio with absolute tacit understanding and accustomed to cooperating with each other.

Although Liu Tian had decisively seized the initiative, they instantly employed a familiar combined tactic, setting a trap for Liu Tian.

With this tactic, the three of them working together could achieve a result greater than 1+1+1=3. Together, they even dared to openly challenge the Snake, Tiger, and Ox, who were ranked highest within their own team.

Individually, the three were at most first-rate Fighters. But together, they underwent a qualitative change.

If viewed collectively, their speed surpassed the Tiger's, their strength exceeded the Ox's, and the elder's sharp hand blades were enough to pierce the Snake's defense. Apart from the freak, they were slightly inferior to the Snake in some aspects, but in the areas where the Snake, Tiger, and Ox excelled, the trio had surpassed them.

However, this choice not only gave them strength, allowing them to stand on a stage they shouldn't have been able to, but it also gave them a fatal weakness.

The woman's and the monkey-faced elder's attacks arrived almost simultaneously, but before that, the giant hand had grasped empty air.

Shadow Seeking Dragon Step. Illusionary Body.

This Flowing Dragon Steps had reached a realm never before attained, creating an illusionary body that was indistinguishable from reality.

Unless one's speed was sufficient to capture the instant Liu Tian attacked, no one could pinpoint his location if Liu Tian didn't wish it.

Unfortunately, due to specializing in certain attributes, even when Liu Tian had just broken through to the Flowing Dragon Steps, none of the three, except for the elder, had the ability to capture that precise moment. This was even more true now that he had improved his physical fitness by raising the Heavenly Martial Killing Dao to the Fighter level by plundering the inventories of all surrounding families and antique dealers.

"Using this fat pig as the overt bait, and the woman, who is actually the weakest, as the actual bait—the idea of a double lure isn't bad." After the illusion dissipated, Liu Tian's voice suddenly sounded from behind the elder.

"It's just a shame." One hand fiercely slammed the elder's head into the ground. The powerful force directly caused a large pit to form on the elder's face the moment it hit the ground. "You are too slow. The flaws of each individual are too obvious. If someone were strong enough to defeat one of you in an instant, the other two would be mere appetizers—just like now."

Liu Tian took a step back, snapped the elder's neck in his hand, and then tore off his arms. "I happen to need a handy weapon right now, so I'll borrow yours first. I'll grant you a complete corpse later."

Soon, Liu Tian casually swung the elder's severed arm, instantly slicing through the Great Hammer forged from refined iron, and easily left deep marks on the Meat Mountain.

This terrifying sharpness caused Liu Tian to show a satisfied expression, while also making the remaining two wear expressions of despair.

"Don't be afraid, the pain will only last for a moment." Having slightly warmed up and not wanting to waste time because another battle was ongoing elsewhere, Liu Tian delivered the final blow to the two who had lost the will to resist.
