Chapter 75: One Fist Shatters All Laws
"With your fastest speed, kill that Sea King Beast and let me see just how strong you are." The faint words carried an unmistakable tone.
"Heh heh, little guy, you're quite lucky. It seems that this beastman wants to cultivate you as his own successor, which is why he values you so much." The high priest's voice also echoed in Old Liu's mind, although he didn't express any opinion, but having followed the old man for so long, he was used to hearing the hidden meaning behind his words: a rare opportunity, you must grasp it tightly.
"How strong is my combat power, anyway? I'd like to know that too. Being able to ask someone as powerful as Raoul, who's almost a demigod, for guidance is a rare opportunity. Liu Ting, ah Liu Ting, you'll have to face off against monsters like Morak in the not-too-distant future, so you must seize this chance tightly." Old Liu's expression turned serious, without revealing any hesitation, and he silently closed his eyes, his spirit pouring out like flowing water, once again capturing the trajectory of that Sea King Beast's movement.
"The Sea King Beast is a fierce creature living in the depths of the ocean, although it doesn't have the ability to control elements, its physical strength is formidable, almost like a mobile fortress, making it even harder to deal with than ordinary high-level magical beasts. Without using lava or thunder energy, it's difficult to kill it in a short amount of time."
Old Liu secretly calculated and thought of all possible methods. His left foot took a step forward, but he was already standing at the edge of the tree canopy, so there was no place for him to land. Old Liu's body immediately leaned forward, and with a head-down posture, he plunged into the rolling torrent.
With a loud splash, a large amount of water splashed out! This time, Old Liu had intentionally fallen into the water, creating a much more intense commotion than before, instantly catching the attention of the Sea King Beast.
Previously, Beisman stirred up a hundred-meter giant wave to cover people's ears and eyes, sweeping the land. Although it did not show the majesty of a divine-level character, it also scared the beastmen guarding that side and the torrential water demons in the inner river. In this shocking wave, there were also tens of thousands of ferocious sea tribes, which made them bypass the five major estuaries and come directly to the inland of Gaya with the floodwaters. And this Sea King Beast was one of those miscellaneous soldiers who served as vanguard troops.
Because this giant sea beast is born with a violent nature, fearless of life and death, coupled with low intelligence, easy to drive away, once it goes crazy, even the defensive circle built by the Water You can't stop it, it's really the favorite combat weapon of the sea tribe.
At this moment, the sea king beast that was swimming freely in the floodwaters and roaming unscrupulously was startled by the huge sound of Old Liu's fall. It immediately swam over to this side, relying on its own invincibility in the deep sea, also wanting to dominate and bully in this inland area covered by floodwaters. Although it had only been less than three or four hours since it parachuted down, it seemed to have already become the overlord of a region. At this time, it came over to patrol its territory, just wanting to see what was happening, but a nimble figure suddenly appeared on one side of its body. Before it could react, it was grabbed by the long bony spines on its back, followed by a fierce and violent pounding! The simple-minded sea king beast had never thought that in the murky floodwaters, there was actually an enemy lurking that was many times more ferocious and cunning than itself.
The Sea King Beast was not a benevolent creature to begin with, and in its daily life, it would often engage in self-mutilation. If it didn't see blood every day, it wouldn't feel comfortable. At this moment, being ambushed by Old Liu, it became even more frenzied. Its enormous mouth opened wide, splitting into a 90-degree right angle, and let out a deafening roar. The massive head thrashed about wildly, carrying Old Liu, who was entangled around its body, as it burst out of the water's surface with a thunderous crash, shattering a large patch of water!
"How about I split you in two? Let's see if you can survive!" Old Liu kept pounding away at one spot, every punch landing with thousands of kilograms of force. Even the Sea King Beast, known for its thick skin and flesh, couldn't withstand this kind of crazy beating. Moreover, Old Liu knew that he would soon be counterattacked by the Sea King Beast after being dragged out of the murky waters, so he decided to go all out and plunged his hands into the wound he had already pummeled into a pulp. With a fierce rip, blood mixed with shattered bones, broken internal organs, and crazily gushed out, instantly dyeing the murky yellow water red. In one rip, Old Liu actually tore open a huge wound seven or eight meters long on the Sea King Beast's back!
The Sea King Beast was in agony, frantically twisting its body to shake off the plague god on its back, like a maggot on its heel. It charged head-on into the dense rainforest, knocking down and biting through rows of ancient giant trees, trying to alleviate the immense pain on its body. However, no matter how hard it tried, no matter how it struggled, it couldn't shake off Old Liu's frenzied attack on its back. In the end, with a sudden burst of strength, it straightened its body and aimed directly at the sky, like a rocket ready to launch, trying to break free from the floodwaters!
"This pose is not bad! Too coordinated with me." After doing a little cowboy, Old Liu was also tossed around by the Sea King Beast and had a bit of breathing time, and couldn't help but reveal a sly smile. Suddenly, he grabbed the spine that was hidden in the rotten meat, which was as thick as his arm, and pulled it violently! How could this spine, connected to the Sea King Beast's skull, withstand such violence? It was almost instantly ripped out by Old Liu!
The Sea King let out a dying howl, spewing a mist of blood from its massive mouth as its body convulsed violently, before toppling over to one side like a skyscraper demolished by a subpar construction team.
After doing all this, Old Liu violently panted with his chest heaving up and down. However, the movements of his hands and feet did not stop, crawling and pulling, along the huge body of the Sea King Beast, quickly climbing to its head. Lowering his head to take a look, he happened to have an intimate contact with the Sea King Beast's round and wide-open eyes.
"What's with the big eyes? Trying to scare me? Who told you to follow the Hai tribe and invade the mainland, I won't sympathize with you. You've eaten your fill and had your fun. Time to send you on your way!"
Nor did he know if it was the teasing of Old Liu that had infuriated him, but the dying Sea King Beast suddenly raised its head in a curved motion, as if to take revenge on Old Liu before it died. Unfortunately, the cunning and treacherous Old Liu would not give it this opportunity, and with one punch, he struck the beast's wide-open eyes, ending its life once and for all.
"Done!" Old Liu finally completed the task and sat down on the ground with a thud, looking exhausted. However, his muscles were twitching in a rhythmic manner, contracting and relaxing as if performing some microscopic activity. This was one of the techniques Professor Laur had taught him earlier - to rapidly adjust his body after battle and control his muscle movements to achieve quick recovery.
"Too slow." Raul's figure flashed and appeared beside Old Liu, frowning and saying: "This speed of yours is not good enough. In the previous battle, you didn't go all out."
"It's unfair!" Old Liu cried out in grievance: "This is already my fastest speed."
"This is what you call the fastest? Avoiding a head-on confrontation doesn't allow you to bring out the powerful strength hidden within your body." A cold smile floated onto Raul's face, "Let me tell you, what's truly fast!"
With just these few words, a massive flood surged in from afar, and dozens of ancient trees that required several people to hug were suddenly uprooted by a brutal force. Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the water bottom seemed to have undergone an intense explosion, with large amounts of mud and sand shooting out along with wooden debris, creating a gigantic wave in the floodwaters.
Old Liu's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked in a certain direction, but was shocked to discover that a huge, cylindrical, rubber-like creature with a body covered in mud and stones, resembling an earthworm, emerged from the turbulent floodwaters. Its massive body had short, thick tentacles all over it, some of which were already rotting, emitting a strong stench. On top of its head, as it moved its body, a deep, bottomless black hole opened up, with countless teeth stirring inside, like a terrifying meat grinder, constantly spewing out dirty, muddy fragments from the black hole. Its size was enormous, almost comparable to the sea king beast that Old Liu had killed earlier, and when standing upright, it would be about 7 or 8 stories high. Such a frighteningly massive creature was not one of the sea tribes that had entered the inland areas of Gaya with the giant waves, but rather a native-born magical insect, the infamous Swamp Poison Dragon.
"This crawling beast has already reached the pinnacle of high-level strength, only one step away from becoming a super magical beast. It's at least five times stronger than the Sea King Beast you just killed. I'll now use power similar to yours and blast it to death, let's see how much time I need!" Rao Lao coldly snorted. He took a single step forward, crossing over hundreds of meters in an instant, without any landing point, as if he was treading on air, fiercely advancing forward. Every step he took would create a visible indentation in the void, producing a thunderous roar and a layer of misty air waves, making it seem like he was stepping on solid ground.
"Aura! He changed his aura!" Old Liu, who had already learned to use his heart's eye to see, immediately discovered the technique used by Raul. He actually stimulated his own aura to collide with the air, using the force generated by the contact between the two to propel himself forward, creating this scene of walking on flat ground. Of course, this technique seems similar to the tree branch flying leap that Raul taught earlier, and can even be said to be exactly the same. However, the technical content is not something that Old Liu at his current stage can fully grasp. Even if he knew the operating principle behind it, he couldn't do it.
The poisonous dragon also discovered the approaching Raul, this home-destroyed demon insect is now furious and wants to find an object to vent its anger. The guy in front of him unknowingly delivered himself, just meeting his intention. So after a roar of fury, he opened his big mouth and rushed towards Raul.
"Get your stinky mouth away!" Raoul's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and without dodging or flinching, he threw a punch at the poisonous dragon's enormous mouth. He didn't use his powerful martial arts, nor did he summon the Golden Beast Soul, nor did he change the surrounding atmosphere. It was just a pure punch, relying solely on the explosive force from his physical body. The massive fist struck down, and all that could be heard was a loud "bang"! This punch landed squarely on the poisonous dragon's forehead, with a force of over 10,000 kilograms, causing this enormous creature to collapse like a mountain crumbling or a jade pillar toppling. It let out a mournful wail as it rolled into the surging floodwaters, never to rise again.
"Look closely, this is what it means to be fast!" Laoliu turned his head back and said in a voice that seemed to sound right next to Old Liu's ear.
"How is this possible!? Insect-type life forms are far stronger than ordinary living beings, especially this soft-bodied creature. Even if it's cut into seven or eight pieces, it won't die for a while. But how...how could it be defeated with just one punch? The force used by Raul wasn't even that strong!" Old Liu's eyes widened in shock as he thought to himself.
