Chapter 119: One Against Three (Fourth Update—Please Subscribe!)

Recovery prompts flashed through his mind.

Tang Mubai maintained the flow of his "Cloud-Rolling Hand," a secret smile playing on his lips. He had been looking for a way to vent the surging blood energy within him, and since none of these beast-kin were at the Lord tier, they served as perfect target practice. Even without the infusion of internal energy, a single strike of the "Cloud-Rolling Hand" possessed five or six times the power of his "Tiger Roar Fist." Once bolstered by internal energy, it was even more formidable. Such was the overbearing and fierce nature of high-grade martial arts.

The other beast-kin stood frozen as he sent the sturdy middle-aged man flying with a single palm. The white-haired elder and the alluring woman exchanged a look, their pupils constricting as they made their decision.

"Kill him!"

The white-haired elder’s eyes widened in fury, his killing intent and malevolent aura erupting. He instantly beast-transformed, his head shifting into that of a vulture atop a human torso. "Kill! Kill him for me!" he roared.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Wisps of pink mist billowed from the alluring woman, spreading rapidly across the space.

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

Under the influence of the pink mist and the elder’s command, the other beast-kin erupted into a frenzy. They roared and howled, charging at Tang Mubai in waves, undergoing their beast transformations as they ran. Pig-headed, wolf-headed, dog-headed, bull-headed... all manner of beast-kin snarled and shrieked, their faces twisted into hideous masks of savagery, washing over Tang Mubai like a tide. They seemed to have forgotten fear and caution, their eyes bloodshot, their minds consumed by a singular urge to kill. The more pink mist they inhaled, the more intense their bloodlust became.

Not far away, the sturdy middle-aged man, who had just scrambled to his feet, frowned slightly at the sight. He said nothing, merely watching his naturally dim-witted kin scream in madness as they surrounded Tang Mubai. The power of that previous palm strike had shaken him. He had just ascended to the Commander tier, but even typical human Master-tier martial artists were rarely that formidable. The strength Tang Mubai displayed was nearly on par with a Grandmaster! If sacrificing these foolish kin could result in Tang Mubai’s death, it would be a gain. Lin Jinliang hadn't appeared, but this powerful human had arrived carrying the black crystal iron box—the situation had changed drastically. They might truly need to wait here for some time, and if they were to wait, the existence of this place could not be leaked. That meant Tang Mubai had to die.

...

"Boom!"

Dull thuds, intermingled with the roars of the beast-kin, echoed through the underground space. Tang Mubai’s blood energy surged, and pulses of power danced between his hands. Clusters of internal energy spiraled and whirled, released from his body according to the techniques of the "Cloud-Rolling Hand."

Each discharge of blood energy was modest, roughly two hundred units, but the resulting internal energy was tightly controlled by Tang Mubai. It wrapped around his palms, condensing into massive handprints that were launched like cannonballs.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Deafening explosions echoed endlessly through the underground chamber. Wherever the energy handprints struck, the maddened beast-kin were sent flying, crashing against walls, the ceiling, or their own companions. Regardless of where they hit, each impact resulted in a burst of blood mist and instant death. The sound of spraying blood and snapping bones filled the air. Dust from the floor and the furniture in the corners were swept up by the intense energy, shattering and swirling into the void.

Recovery prompts flashed rapidly across his mind. Tang Mubai showed no mercy, fully utilizing his blood energy to strike down and obliterate one beast-kin after another, feeling an incomparable sense of exhilaration.

"Again! Come on, again!"

Caught in the heat of battle, Tang Mubai couldn't help but shout aloud. The sturdy middle-aged man, the white-haired elder, and the alluring woman watched with a mix of shock and fury.

"This guy is practicing a high-grade martial art!"
"Damned human, we must not let him escape!"
"Kill! Everyone, attack together and kill him!"

The sturdy middle-aged man roared, followed by the cries of the elder and the woman. In the next moment—

*Hum! Hum! Hum!*

The air vibrated. Three invisible pressures erupted simultaneously, materializing out of thin air to bear down on Tang Mubai. Yet, Tang Mubai, fully immersed in the flow of the "Cloud-Rolling Hand," remained completely unaffected. His Willpower of 20, the limit, truly rendered him immune to the pressure of the Master tier—or in their case, the Commander tier.

"Kill him!" the middle-aged man bellowed in fearful rage.

"Roar! Roar!"

The beast-kin, fueled by the pink mist, felt no fear at the deaths of their comrades. They continued to scream, charging forward in wave after wave. The middle-aged man, the elder, and the woman wove through the crowd, closing in on Tang Mubai from the flanks. Attempting a sneak attack amidst the chaos?

Tang Mubai sensed their movements and sneered.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

Massive internal energy handprints continued to fly from his hands, striking the oncoming frenzied beast-kin.

...

The dull thuds of bodies being crushed and thrown continued unabated. The sturdy middle-aged man seized the moment to reach Tang Mubai’s right flank, his head fully transformed into a savage wolf’s, and lashed out with a claw.

*Bang!*

Tang Mubai backhanded a palm, meeting the attack head-on.

*Boom!*

The energies clashed, and the air detonated. The middle-aged man’s attack was shattered.

*Swish!*

The white-haired elder, now with the head of a vulture and a human torso, struck from behind with sharp talons.

*Whoosh!*

A massive cloud of pink mist erupted from the alluring woman’s hands, engulfing Tang Mubai.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Tang Mubai held his breath, refusing to inhale. With lightning speed, he pivoted, his "Cloud-Rolling Hand" roaring as he sent the elder flying.

*Boom!*

Other beast-kin, having inhaled the mist, swarmed in, their frantic attacks crashing against his protective internal energy shield with a series of dull thuds. They failed to harm him in the slightest. As he turned back, he unleashed his handprints once more. At this moment, Tang Mubai’s blood energy boiled, his internal energy spiraling, and he refused to evade, pouring his strength into his palms to crush and blast away the maddened beast-kin.

The alluring woman, the sturdy man, and the white-haired elder rallied for another assault from the sides. The woman, too, had fully transformed, sporting the head of a fox atop her human form, her sharp claws tearing through the air with a shrill screech. Tang Mubai fought three against one, pushing his "Cloud-Rolling Hand" to its absolute limit. Over six thousand units of blood energy were fully converted into internal energy, combined with ten thousand pounds of raw strength, and unleashed in a total, devastating display of power.
