Chapter 338

That's how things are.

After Tang Luo agreed, neither side deliberately looked for a venue; they just fought on the deck of the Dragon King.

Because everyone confidently stated it was a matter that could be resolved very quickly, there was no need for such trouble.

Moreover, they wouldn't damage the Dragon King; even if they did, they would pay for the repairs themselves, and the other God-Demon Walkers naturally wouldn't object.

They served more as witnesses.

If Ru Ge truly intended to intervene in the ownership of the Dragon King, he would certainly have stepped in personally.

Both sides reached a consensus that they could attack each other.

Li Jue and his wife, two people, made a move against Tang Luo alone.

"Be careful," Li Jue said in a low voice; even though they were full of confidence, they would not be careless.

A lion hunting a rabbit still uses its full strength; a cautious personality is a key factor in their continued survival in the God-Demon Game.

One could say it's even more important than strength.

Besides the agreement not to use equipment, the two also had no intention of holding back; if they accidentally killed him, it would count as the opponent's bad luck.

God-Demon Walkers view life and death lightly.

They stood their ground, no need for any "referee" to shout "begin"; after a brief standoff of two seconds, Wei Xin lowered her body slightly, releasing a shocking killing intent, about to spring forth and injure.

The next second, the moment Wei Xin and Li Jue left the ground and lunged forward.

Tang Luo raised a hand, aimed at the two, and pressed down lightly from above.

The Nirvana Glazed Great Hand Seal manifested in the sky above their heads and descended in an instant, so fast that no one could react in time.

Li Jue and Wei Xin hadn't even lunged half a meter before they were slapped onto the ground by the Great Hand Seal.

With Tang Luo deliberately holding back, the sturdy deck only showed cracks, not shattering.

Wei Xin and Li Jue lay on the ground, motionless.

Tang Luo withdrew his hand and looked at the other God-Demon Walkers; this was it, the outcome was obvious.

"... So fast."

"That move just now, was it the palm technique falling from the heavens — the Tathagata Divine Palm?" The watching God-Demon Walkers looked at each other in dismay.

Even with mental preparation that it would end quickly, this is too fast, right!

Li Jue and his wife hadn't even lunged out yet.

"Then Master will take over and take charge of the Dragon King," someone said.

Master Xuanzang knocked down Li Jue and his wife with one move; regardless of whether he prepared some ultimate move in advance, winning is winning, this is undeniable.

"Wait!"

After that person spoke, Li Jue, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up, "I haven't lost yet."

Wei Xin beside him, however, had truly fainted, without a sound.

"The outcome has already been decided." Kong Ming didn't speak; someone else said.

"I was waiting for him to come over to counterattack," Li Jue said.

"... Why bother?"

"I'll say it again, I haven't lost!" Li Jue bent down, grabbed Wei Xin, threw her aside, crossed his fists in front of him and violently pulled them apart, his body simultaneously sinking slightly.

Golden Qi surged from his body, circulating frantically.

Forming a transparent giant bell shape.

"I cultivate the Indestructible Golden Body, and also the Golden Bell Shield; wanting to break my defense and injure me with a single strike, no one can do it!" Li Jue shouted.

Awe-inspiring momentum, extremely abundant, truly not looking like someone knocked unconscious and injured.

Wei Xin on the other side, however, was thoroughly knocked out, with some blood overflowing from her mouth, injured more severely.

Forming a stark contrast with Li Jue.

Everyone looked at Tang Luo, waiting for his answer.

"Is that so..." Tang Luo looked at Li Jue with interest; that strike just now, even with him holding back, wasn't something just anyone could withstand.

This Li Jue seems quite able to take a beating.

The actual situation, Li Jue knew the bitterness in his own heart; the moment the Great Hand Seal fell, he circulated the Indestructible Golden Body to block.

He didn't expect he couldn't block it, and still fainted for seven or eight seconds.

In a normal fight, that's enough time for an enemy to finish him off several times over.

In an unconscious state, Li Jue's defense wasn't as strong as it is now.

But that didn't count just now; it was a sneak attack, because the Destiny Fragment Li Jue possesses is Jue Wushen from "Wind and Cloud", who cultivates the Indestructible Golden Body, walking a high-defense path.

Unlike typical God-Demon Walkers with high offense and low defense, even in a completely normal state without circulating energy, an ordinary rifle firing at him wouldn't cause much injury.

Later he learned the Golden Bell Shield skill, and quickly mastered it thoroughly.

The Indestructible Golden Body originates from the Golden Bell Shield; Li Jue, on the basis of the Indestructible Golden Body, cultivated the Golden Bell Shield again, with pleasing results.

Once deployed, the defense reaches an astonishing level.

Indestructible Golden Body, full power!

Golden Bell Shield, full power!

Now Li Jue has pushed both cultivation methods to their limits, stacking his defense to the highest realm.

Even a tank's main cannon cannot break his defense, injuring him in the slightest.

In the "rank classification" of God-Demon Walkers, the so-called Fourth Rank means being able to penetrate a modern hot-weapon battlefield (guns, cannons, tanks, fighter jets, without using weapons of mass destruction).

God-Demon Walkers who can reach this level mostly rely on super-high mobility and terrifying destructive power to achieve this.

But Li Jue is different; he has stacked his defense to the peak, completely able to forcibly endure conventional hot-weapon firepower on the battlefield and traverse it horizontally.

If he can move, that is.

Yes, having donned the thickest armor, Li Jue was now in a state where he could not move freely.

If he moved, the Undying Golden Body would be fine; the vital point was under the armpit — as long as that wasn't broken, the defensive power would be the same no matter how he moved.

But the Golden Bell Shield emphasized being immovable as a mountain; when acting, the circulating Qi and Jin would reveal flaws, unable to achieve the ultimate airtight defense, and the defensive power would drop a level.

"Then let's continue." Tang Luo looked at Li Jue and said.

"Tsk." Ao Yulie made an inexplicable sound from the side.

Why did Li Jue have to cultivate some "Turtle Technique" of all things? Wasn't that just asking for a beating?

Back during the Journey to the West, Master liked monsters with extremely high defense the most; using them as sparring partners helped improve strength greatly.

That kind of sandbag certainly wasn't needed now.

But Master was injured and had been in a state of recovery; this Li Jue was practically walking right up to his face, loudly saying: "Come, use me for some rehabilitative training."

Or rather, letting Tang Luo stretch his muscles and bones a little without using any magic power at all.

"If you can break my defense, I lose!" Li Jue's body swelled somewhat, making his clothes tight, revealing bulging muscles.

The skin on his body looked perfectly normal, no golden color appearing.

Tang Luo walked up to Li Jue and stopped one meter away.

Before him was Li Jue's Golden Bell Shield, a transparent golden bell formed from golden Qi and Jin; even faint patterns on it could be vaguely seen.

It must be said, it already had a few hints of the Perfection realm.

Reaching out, Tang Luo tapped the Golden Bell Shield, producing a sound like striking a bell.

Li Jue sneered: "Come!"

He couldn't move, but speaking was still fine; this didn't affect things in the slightest.

Tang Luo glanced at Li Jue, raised his right hand, clenched his fist; a Qi wave spread out in all directions with him at the center.

Just the simple action of clenching a fist actually stirred up a fierce wind, blowing the clothes of those nearby until they fluttered loudly.

"... Isn't Master supposed to have the Tang Sanzang destiny?"

"I heard, it seems before he was on 'Approaching Science', he got famous because two 'fists' hammered someone to death?"

"So Master's combat style is Hong Kong manhua style, fist to flesh?"

Everyone looked toward Kongming.

"I don't know." Kongming shook his head. What Hong Kong manhua style.

As far as he knew, up to now, Tang Luo's combat style had only ever been one kind — "crushing".

No matter who the opponent was, no matter how strong, he always defeated them with a crushing posture.

This style should be the *Bleach* instant-kill style, but in *Bleach* you instant-kill me, then I instant-kill you, everyone instant-killing each other.

On Tang Luo's side, it was unilateral instant-killing.

Li Jue's expression was grave, watching Tang Luo's clenched right fist come smashing over.

"Dong!" A sound rang out, still the spreading gale.

Tang Luo's right hand stopped before Li Jue; the Golden Bell Shield blocked for less than half a second before shattering with a boom.

Li Jue still maintained a slight crouch, similar to a horse stance, eyes wide staring at the fist stopped before him.

The fist wind howled by his ears, scraping painfully like knives.

"This won't do, add a bit more." Tang Luo withdrew his hand, stepping back one pace.

"You..." Li Jue froze for a moment, then rage flared up!

Was this looking down on him?

"Come on!" Li Jue gritted his teeth; golden Qi and Jin surged again, quickly forming the golden bell shape from before; the Golden Bell Shield deployed again.

But this time, Li Jue wasn't satisfied with ten percent of his limit.

He wanted to break through the limit!

"Eleven percent power!" Li Jue roared hideously, an abnormal flush rising on his face; the Golden Bell Shield instantly became more solid, turning from transparent to semi-transparent.

The Li Jue inside was faintly visible.

"Dong!"

A deep resonant boom; the Golden Bell Shield shattered with a boom, Tang Luo's left fist smashed into Li Jue's face.

Li Jue's body tilted, he staggered back several steps, did an iron bridge, and stood straight again; his cheek could be seen to be slightly swollen.

The Undying Golden Body's powerful defense was displayed after the Golden Bell Shield broke.

"A bit better than last time, continue." Tang Luo clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Li Jue and said.

"Come!" Li Jue roared; his most skilled, most confident, strongest domain being trampled — how could he endure it?

"Dong!" The Golden Bell Shield shattered again; this time the left cheek swelled.

"The Golden Bell Shield is flashy but useless; better to focus on the Undying Golden Body." Tang Luo said.

The unspoken second half was: "That way you can take more of a beating."

"No need for more words!" Li Jue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; it had nothing to do with Tang Luo's fist — the fist wasn't actually heavy.

It was internal injury from the technique being pushed to the extreme and then broken.

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

"Crackle crackle!"

The "fist to flesh" sounds mentioned earlier began to echo on the deck.

After shattering the Golden Bell Shield four times in a row, Tang Luo no longer waited for Li Jue to recirculate his technique, and began a storm-like assault.

With an uppercut, Li Jue's body floated completely in mid-air, hands hanging at his sides, unable to even form a basic defensive posture, only able to rely on the Undying Golden Body for passive defense.

Continuous, unceasing, precisely targeted attacks kept him completely airborne, feet not touching the ground.

Or rather, he couldn't even touch the ground; the only time he could was when the battle ended.

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground reverberated.

Li Jue slammed heavily onto the ground, unable to so much as twitch a finger.

"The Dragon King belongs to this poor monk's disciple. Any objections?" Tang Luo asked.

After taking the most vicious beating, Li Jue's body shuddered, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and passed out directly.

"Looks like he has no objections." Tang Luo turned his head to look at Kong Ming and the others. "Is this acceptable?"
