Chapter 168 - Tiger Demons Physique Refinement Art (2/2)
“Boom!”
It sounded like cannon fire at close range. The force compressed the air around the fist and turned it into almost liquid-like. Suddenly, a downpour of punches came at Tong Shan. Around the hulking frame, tables, chairs, vases all shattered into pieces, some attacks even landed on the wall, leaving many deep holes.
He was still half a step away from becoming a Transcendent Master, yet he already commanded such deadly force. It was hard to imagine what a Transcendent Master, the earth equivalent of a Grandmaster was capable of.
The Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect Elder, the man with a menacing air, swam amidst this teammates attacks, weaving in and out like a sea snake. With a final sprint, he leaped to the back side of Tong Shan and suddenly, as if out of nowhere a dark dagger appeared in his hand. The edge flashed in the air as the dagger landed on Tong Shan’s back.
“Clank!”
Despite Tong Shan’s iron-like body, the dagger was able to cut through his skin.
“Huh?”
The menacing looking man was taken aback at first. He had attacked with full force; however, the dagger was able to able to cut through Tong Shan’s skin but didn’t cause any life-threatening damage. He quickly gathered himself, and channeled more energy into the glinting edge and started to slash to Tong Shan’s back like a mad dog. In a blink, Tong Shan’s back was covered with small but painful wounds. The man attacked with near surgical precision as every attack landed right on Tong Shan’s spine.
“Arrrr!”
For the first time, Tong Shan snarled out his pain and anger.
He spread out his arms and swept at his attackers. Master Hen Tian was right in front of him and was caught by the sweeping attack. The old man was sent flying once again. Su Wudi was about ten paces away from Tong Shan and had been attacking him with his internal energy, so he was unharmed by the sweep. The menacing looking man was slippery as a fish, and he had easily evaded Tong Shan’s simple counter-attack.
“How’s it now, Chen Beixuan? Do you still think you can escape?” Elder Qi asked confidently.
By then, Tong Shan was on the brink of succ.u.mbing to his attackers. Meanwhile, Lu Tianlong stared at Chen Fan watchfully, ready to tie him down if the boy decided to help his big friend.
“Mr. Chen, just surrender already.” Jin Yi muttered.
The audience was convinced that Chen Fan was going to lose. They shook their heads and lamented Chen Fan’s foolish decision of b.u.t.ting heads with the Lu family and Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect in the first place. The tide of the battle was clearly not in favor of Chen Fan, and there was nothing he could do about it.
“He is ramming into a brick wall.” Someone lamented with a long sigh.
The development gave everyone a fearful look. It showed them how helpless an individual was before the combined might of powerful family clans.
“Who said that I am going to lose?” To everyone’s surprise, a strange smile surfaced on Chen Fan’s face.
He looked to Tong Shan with a great measure of confidence. The Tiger Demon’s Physique Refinement Art was a secret art of the Tiger Demon’s royal family, its power was unimaginable.
Lo and behold, Tong Shan grunted heavily, and then a tiger’s roar suddenly came out of his throat.
“Arrrr!”
A phantom in the shape of a human with a tiger’s head appeared behind Tong Shan. As the phantom plunged into Tong Shan’s body, many dark streaks covered Tong Shan’s face, making him look like a real tiger.
“Tiger Demon Claw!” Tong Shan’s fingers curled into claws, and he racked them in the air.
“Sssth-Wack!”
Creating powerful gusts of wind, his claw tore open every fabric of reality. The air became a blur where his claw whizzed through. Tong Shan’s attack was ten times faster than his previous attacks, and it was as fast as the speed of sound.
“Ah!”
Before the menacing looking man realized what had happened, he was dealt a blow by the claw. The claw caught his side and went through his body like b.u.t.ter. An Internal Force Master was laid low by Tong Shan with ease.
Tong Shan followed his first attack with another one.
Su Wudi shrieked and hurried to get out of harm’s way.
Master Hen Tian had already made his way to the forefront. There was no time for him to evade, so he raised both fists to cus.h.i.+on the blow. He was still confident that his iron-like body should protect him from this attack. He had sustained so many blows from Tong Shan, what made this one different?
However, to his surprise and dismay, his arms, previously unbreakable, were wrung out like clothes.
After a serious of stomach-churning snaps. Master Hen Tian’s limbs were twisted into soft strands of cheese. He was then tossed onto the ground like a discarded plaything.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet again.
No one had expected such an outcome.
Lu Haixuan rounded his eyes in disbelief.
Lu Tianlong gasped, his body trembled uncontrollably. The confidence on Elder Qi’s face was gone, Tong Shan had ruined his master plan.
Jin Yi heaved a sigh in her mind as she lamented her elder’s miscalculation. It was the biggest mistake he ever made
