Quick, faster, even faster.
Xiaofan's plan was for the three of them to work together to swiftly kill Muto here. Then, find the HLY007 mory card on his body.
But Muto was no fool. He intentionally avoided the main attacks, staying away from Xiaofan's strikes, while continually pulling Li San and Tang Tianyou along.
He thought that as long as he blocked the Nine Sobbing Palms of the Black Mantis, he wouldn't make any mistakes.
But was he underestimating the successors of the Swallows and the future heirs of the Tang Sect too much?
'Shoo, shoo, shoo...'
Four silver needles shot towards Muto without warning.
This five-finger shot was the Tang Sect's most bizarre hidden weapon technique, displayed by Tang Tianyou during his fight against David in the ring.
It wasn't difficult for Muto to block the front silver needles. The challenge was the fifth one hidden behind the four silver needles...
This was different from the competition in the ring. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons were notorious for being highly toxic. Even if your skin was slightly cut, regardless of how profound your Inner Strength was to suppress the spread of the poison, your inner strength would greatly diminish in such an intense battle. If you wanted to exert all your power, the toxin would still spread, and under the influence of Inner Strength, it would accelerate into your vital organs.
So, the hidden fifth silver needle, Tang Tianyou didn't aim at Muto's fatal point, just needed to lightly pierce his skin to succeed.
But who was Muto? With his rich experience, there was no way he wouldn't notice the arrival of the fifth silver needle.
"Hmm." Even so, Muto was still slightly surprised, tapping his toes on the ground and retreating to dodge the fifth silver needle safely while blocking the four silver needles.
Tang Tianyou sighed helplessly, not out of regret, but frustration that his skills hadn't reached mastery. He felt he'd let his grandfather down.
As soon as Muto retreated to the side, Tang Tianyou stepped forward to attack. It was a correct close-combat tactic, launching an attack as soon as the opponent's footing was unstable.
Hmph, too naive... Just as Muto sneered, preparing to take on Tang Tianyou's attack, he suddenly sensed danger behind him.
Tang Tianyou had seized an opportunity, and there was no way Xiaofan would let it slip.
It's said that this five-finger shot, Xiaofan learned just by watching once. Now, Xiaofan could also shoot five toothpicks at once.
Muto sensed the crisis and wanted to withdraw imdiately, but as he moved sideways, Li San suddenly blocked Muto's left, and Tang Tianyou, attacking from the front, suddenly appeared on the right.
Unable to retreat from the left or right, there was only above.
After all, those toothpicks from the Black Mantis were aid straight at his vital points; he had to completely evade them...
'Shoo.' In an instant, Muto leapt into the air, successfully dodging Xiaofan's sneak attack from behind.
But, it wasn't over yet...
"San... good opportunity."
"Swallow Flying Towards Sky..."
"Nani?"
In the air, that was Li San's domain.
The Swallow's Counterattack evolved into Swallow Flying Towards Sky, allowing Li San to leap into the air and fiercely assault Muto mid-air.
Muto was amazed by the three's coordination but wouldn't concede.
Muto was indeed worthy of being the second-best in Japan back then, as he forcefully launched a palm strike at the ascending Li San.
The surging heatwave didn't cause Li San to back down in the slightest. It had been made abundantly clear—mid-air was Li San's territory.
With a flick of his foot, Li San perford a high-difficulty spin maneuver even Xiaofan felt inferior to, breaking free from gravity, twisting his body, dodging Muto's attack, and turning Swallow Flying Towards Sky into Muto's first death sentence.
"Yaha..."
'Bang, bang, bang bang bang...'
With Li San's roar, a volley of attacks landed squarely on Muto. Even Muto's profound Inner Strength couldn't withstand such swift and fierce attacks, as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Just as his body was about to fall, Muto, thinking Li San's attack had ended and thankful he hadn't been critically hurt, noticed Li San's smirk.
Still, it's not over?
"Xiaofan... your turn, Swallow's Counterattack."
"Nani?"
Combining Swallow Flying Towards Sky with Swallow's Counterattack, Li San was on a roll this ti.
The essence of Swallow's Counterattack was to suddenly reverse attack without any symptoms, of course with Li San having complete control over the reversal direction.
In a re three seconds, Muto felt that ti was excruciatingly prolonged. From ascent to levitation, Muto was beaten by a young guy without the ability to counterattack, feeling completely at his rcy.
The subordinates on the ground took notice and were stunned. None of them expected such a formidable leader to be thoroughly beaten.
'Bang.'
This ti, Li San ca decisively, kicking Muto directly towards the ground.
The descending trajectory imdiately shifted with Li San's kick. And below, Xiaofan was already waiting.
In freefall, Muto was unable to control his body. Under such strong gravity, he couldn't make any changes.
Glancing below, his eyes showed extre terror...
Yes, Xiaofan had struck a pose, waiting. Muto was very familiar with that preparatory move—it was the starting form of the first palm of the Nine Sobbing Palms...
Victory...
Victory...
Victory...
Whether it was Li San still in mid-air, Tang Tianyou watching from the side, or Xiaofan ready to attack, they all knew that if this palm struck, victory would be theirs.
"Nine Sobbing Palms, first palm strike... huh?"
Just when Xiaofan was assured of victory, he suddenly sensed a strong threat from behind.
This threat made Xiaofan abruptly retract his stance.
"Li San, Old Tang, quickly evade..."
As Xiaofan staggered away, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, reaching to take Xiaofan's life.
"Buddha's Fury..."
'Shoo.'
Such profound Inner Strength... was Xiaofan's silent exclamation during the instant of exchanged palm strikes. Although lagging behind Muto, the opponent shared the sa lineage with his robust Inner Strength.
"San..." Xiaofan called again, since Li San would land slightly after Muto, trying his utmost while in the air, he couldn't possibly evade ground attacks, akin to Xiaofan's earlier attempt to kill Muto.
Hence, before reaching them, a toothpick was swiftly launched. Tang Tianyou also realized this, retreating while launching a silver needle to aid in covering Li San's landing.
