Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

But no one was more shocked than Chen Antai.

Present at the scene, being the foremost target, he realized why his previous Descending Dragon Palm had no effect as he observed the other’s revealed body. The muscular yet not bulky, ferocious yet agile, perfectly proportioned body, as if divided by the golden ratio, he finally understood.

Such a body, such strength, the opponent was definitely practicing a top-notch martial art that specializes in physical body and strength. The toughness of the body and the magnitude of the strength had reached an inconceivable level.

Comparatively, even though he had cultivated Gang Qi, weakened by age and lacking in stamina, unless he was prepared to risk his life and forcefully stimulate his Gang Qi, executing powerful moves, just relying on distant palm force wouldn’t likely be enough to break through the opponent’s physical defense.

But to not attack from afar and engage in close combat instead…

Looking at the terrifying physique of the opponent, Chen Antai shuddered and immediately discarded the idea.

What a joke, engaging in close combat with such a monster, how is that any different from suicide?

Powerless in distant attack, cowardly in close combat!

What to do now?

Before Chen Antai could think of a strategy, the opponent had already charged fiercely toward him, like a tiger descending the mountain, a dragon emerging from the abyss, his violent strength coupled with terrifying speed. Before even getting close, the wind pressure that hit his face was enough to strike fear into people’s hearts.

Strong!!!

Chen Antai’s complexion changed, and he immediately retreated, beginning to fight using his Light Skill Body Method.

His family’s martial art was called “Eagle Claw Roaming Dragon Skills.” Although it could not be considered an unparalleled martial art, it was still top-tier among ordinary skills, with the Eagle Claw specializing in attack, sharp and invincible, and the Roaming Dragon excelling in combat with unpredictable changes.

With this martial art, plus the opportune period of the past century, he made a name for himself in Longhai, earning the title of ‘Longhai Skyhawk King’, and established the Chen Clan’s Antai Group along with its subsidiaries, becoming a figure of his era.

But now…

Useless, all useless!

Feeling the daunting aura of the opponent, Chen Antai didn’t even harbor the slightest thought of engaging in close combat, nor did he have the courage to collide his Sky Eagle Claw Skill with the terrifying physical body of the opponent. He could only deploy his Roaming Dragon skills, activate his Gang Qi, and launch empty palm forces, keeping up a façade of fighting back.

The situation had escalated so much that it would soon trigger a chain reaction from various areas, and the Federation authorities, even if they had been inactive, would come to intervene.

By then, not only could he save his life, but he could also turn the tables, collaborating with the Federation authorities to capture this person.

With this in mind, Chen Antai fought on.

But what he didn’t expect…

“`

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The opponent advanced with steps so swift, they seemed ethereal, compressing the earth underfoot, instantly changing the battleground.

Such movement techniques!!!

Chen Antai’s pupils constricted in horror, but before he could adjust his stance, that ghostly figure was upon him, a punch with the force to open up the heavens and the earth aimed directly at his face.

Left with no choice, Chen Antai clenched his teeth to face the attack, his right hand formed into a claw, ten fingers like hooks, narrowly missing the opponent’s heavy punch, reaching for his shoulder blade, intent on executing the Sky Eagle Claw Skill to penetrate the opponent’s shoulder bone.

The shoulder blade, where force is exerted in the human body, a critical point that, once seized by his Sky Eagle Claw, and if the sharp Gang Qi penetrated the bone, would bring even a Land Immortal with Divine Intent and Gang Qi tumbling down to the mortal realm, left at the mercy of others.

However…

“Crack!”

His Eagle Claw missed the arm, grasping the opponent’s shoulder, just as he was about to apply force and seize, he saw the opponent’s body shake, unleashing a surge of soft yet overwhelming force that exploded between his clasped fingers, causing intense pain in his digits, instantly breaking the claw skill, the eagle losing its strength.

This is…

“Bang!!!”

In a moment of shock, before he could gather his thoughts, the opponent’s heavy punch had already driven straight forward, landing heavily on his jaw and sending him soaring into the air with the force of a rising dragon.

A gamble, the Sky Eagle Claw Skill was a risky move. If he could seize the opponent’s shoulder blades, he could naturally stop the momentum of the punch. But if he failed…

“Boom!”

A heavy punch struck, his body soared, and mid-air, he saw the opponent’s hand coming, grabbing his ankle, which had no place to rest, with a mix of soft and hard forces, pulling and leading in one motion.

“Boom!”

The body that had just been lifted was forcibly pulled back and, in an instant, as he got up and stepped forward, his right elbow shot out like a spear, heavily hitting the opponent’s shoulder blade.

“Crack!”

“Snap!”

A sudden explosive sound, followed by the shattering of Gang Qi and the unmistakable sound of breaking bones, echoed mournfully into the night.

If it were an ordinary person facing such an opponent, not to mention an elbow strike with full force, even a casual punch would be hard to withstand.

But Chen Antai was no ordinary man; he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster who had cultivated Gang Qi and possessed a body protected by iron-hard Gang Qi.

Therefore…

He could take a few more blows and fend off a few more moves than an ordinary person.

But only a few.

One punch, one elbow strike, was enough to break the Gang Qi and fracture the shoulder bones.

“Ah!!!”

Even as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, being dealt such serious injuries, he couldn’t help but let out a wretched scream.

However, the next instant after screaming, he was forcefully pulled back by the opponent’s hands, dragged to the front, almost into an embrace, followed by a barrage of punches raining down like a storm.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

The terrifying force of the punches, the frightening speed, wove a thick web of afterimages that pounded on Chen Antai like rain on banana leaves, producing muffled and crisp sounds.

In the end…

“Bang!!!”

With a final hit, that launched his body, Chen Antai, like a battered sandbag, was punched dozens of meters away, crashing into a villa, causing the building to collapse and burying him in the rubble.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The life-and-death battle was settled in an instant.

Inside and outside the arena, there was a deathly silence.

After a long while…

“Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!”

“What happened, what happened?”

“I thought you were the Hulk, but who would have thought you also had a Platinum Star?”

“How can you be so agile with such a big frame? It’s completely illogical!”

“Could this be the legendary double A in strength and speed?”

In the live stream, chaos erupted once more, as outsiders watched for fun, while the insiders scrutinized the tactics.

“This person…”

“His steps and body method are incredibly quick, ghostly and unpredictable!”

“First, using his light skill to catch up and force Chen Antai into close combat, then with a force that combined both hardness and softness, he scattered the Gang Qi that formed Chen Antai’s eagle claw?”

“Is that… Tai Chi?”

“Tai Chi defeating the Sky Eagle Claw, Eight Extremes piercing through Gang Qi, an elbow jab shattering Chen Antai’s right scapula.”

“Last came the heavy punches, like a tempest, shattering all of Chen Antai’s Gang Qi and bones in his body.”

“Flowing like clouds and water, accomplished in one breath!”

“Forged a thousand times, perfectly flawless!”

“Such power, such speed, such skill…”

“The height of this person’s martial arts mastery, the wealth of his combat experience, his strong ability to adapt spontaneously…”

“If one weren’t a bystander with the video slowed down, they couldn’t even discern his movements.”

“This Martial Frenzied Rascal…”

“Who on earth is he!”

“How many martial arts does he master, and how many martial skills has he practiced to combine speed, strength, and skill into one?”

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the technique; to this situation, the shock of martial artists far exceeded that of ordinary people.

At this moment…

“Dad!”

A cry of alarm went out, and people from the villa rushed out, raising their weapons without a second word at the sight of the martial maniac standing coldly in the night wind.

Guns!

Though just pistols and a couple of submachine guns, the vitality of the few was terrifying.

“Da da da da da!”

Suddenly, a barrage of gunfire erupted, bullets poured out.

“Holy shit!”

“Damn it!”

Upon seeing this scene, everyone in the live stream couldn’t help but cry out in shock.

The Antai Group actually had so many gunmen.

What to do?

Inside the live stream, the audience was terrified, at a loss what to do.

As for the person in question, he was the picture of composure, facing the barrage of bullets without even attempting to dodge.

Instead…

“Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!”

The man sank into a stance, arranging his arms like the posts of a stance, and a burst of golden light sprung up around him, forming a golden bell barrier, deflecting the hail of bullets, responding only with a metallic echo.

“…”

“?????”

“!!!!!!!!!!!”

Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene, unable to utter a word.

What the hell is going on?

What happened to the martial arts?

Is this also martial arts?

Are you sure it’s not movie special effects?

Inside the live stream, the audience was dumbfounded, speechless.

Bystanders were already in such a state, so it went without saying for the parties involved.

Seeing the golden bell light shadow, the gunmen were also stunned, unintentionally emptying their bullets.

“What are you dazing at, reload quickly.”

It wasn’t until someone screamed that the group snapped to their senses, clumsily replacing their magazines.

But little did they expect…

“Roar!!!”

The man in the center channeled his hands, and suddenly the sound of a dragon’s roar rang out, the golden bell light shattered, and transformed into six dragon shadows that roared out explosively.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

“Bang bang bang!!!”

Six dragons rampaged, exploding in all directions; the entire villa shook violently, and the area where the gunmen stood was cloaked in dirt and smoke. His Martial Path Communicated with God, True Qi forming Gang Qi, the power of the Descending Dragon Palm shocked all around, like a fierce dragon passing through, violently rampaging.

After some time, everything finally settled down to silence, with only dust hanging in the air and the ground littered with casualties, leaving behind a single towering figure.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Inside the live stream, there was a deadly silence, and everyone kept quiet.

Only their minds were in turmoil, with their previous understanding, life views, worldviews, and values thoroughly shattered.

The instigator of it all, the man, paid no attention to this at all, turned around, picked up the huge black carry-on bag, and walked towards the Chen Clan villa without a care for the corpses on the ground, or the disturbances around him.
