As the first clash of the opening, the momentum was extremely slight. With a very short muffled sound, Xu Fu’s fist smashed directly onto Li Miao’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this struggle happened in the marketplace, the gossiping idlers would probably curl their lips in disdain—this collision didn't even have any movement, not even as good as street juggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu was sent flying by Li Miao’s shoulder, and on Li Miao’s tattered black outfit, there was an extra fist print outline with edges as sharp as if cut by a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao stepped forward, caught up to Xu Fu, and brought his leg down in a mid-air axe kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu dodged sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leg axe smashed into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*BOOM!!!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge gully, clearly visible even from hundreds of yards in the sky, suddenly split open from under Li Miao’s feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the unification of the six paths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Heaven-Man completion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive Qi and strength, enough to destroy cities and stones and tear Kyoto apart in the time of a cup of tea, were perfectly contained within the moves. There was no large-scale offensive, and even less deafening loud noise, just silently erasing everything the moves passed through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao raised his eyebrows and smiled silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really enjoyable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the unification of the six paths, although his moves were massive, in his feeling, it was like punching with a handful of sand. No matter how hard he tried to contain it, there would be Qi and strength dissipated during the move. Every move used ten percent of his strength, but by the time it reached the enemy, only eight percent would be left, even with the Sumeru realm control, it couldn't be changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—that helpless feeling of not being able to use his strength disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every move was a perfect ten percent strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every punch wouldn't have half a loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao’s five senses were still in Xu Fu’s control, but he knew Xu Fu couldn't retreat too far. After the leg axe smashed the ground, he suddenly lifted it and turned, drawing a circle with himself as the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu gritted his teeth. His right hand, which had been smashed by Li Miao, hadn't healed yet, and most of his Qi was used to control Li Miao’s five senses. Li Miao could also master his position and movements through his own wounds... In terms of frontal combat, he was actually at a disadvantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—Xu Fu’s eyes fixed, one finger raised, and he stabbed violently toward Li Miao’s knee from bottom to top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you think [Silent Illumination] can only take away the five senses, then you are wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is that person’s Profound Observation divine ability!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a divine ability that can contend with [Two Rituals]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu pointed at Li Miao’s knee, leaving a huge blood hole. At the same time, Li Miao suddenly gave a ferocious laugh, inferred Xu Fu’s position through the wound, took advantage of the momentum of the leg axe, turned around and stood firm, and smashed a fist toward Xu Fu’s crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Silent Illumination]!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu suddenly gave a low shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Miao’s smashing fist slowed down by a bit in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu took this opportunity to flash out a foot, and pointed at Li Miao’s neck side again. With a *clang*, it was blocked by [Ten Thousand Phenomena].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu was not surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Li Miao needed to use wounds to explore his movements, he wouldn't leave his vital points undefended. Li Miao, who traded injury for injury, was a terrifying killing embryo, and anyone who traded life for injury was an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this attack would undoubtedly expose his position again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Miao didn't chase after him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in place, shook his head, and his godless eyes swept toward Xu Fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been to the Central Plains?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know what she looks like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fu sneered. \u003C\u002Fp>",685,"2026-06-17T21:54:32.236Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","4890ef14d694d4ae90de6a35becd284d6b99dfe612e13987c7c35b3c9e24b3ee","the-imperial-hounds-of-the-eight-hour-workday-chapter-623","the-imperial-hounds-of-the-eight-hour-workday-chapter-621",647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-imperial-hound-on-an-eight-hour-shift-cover.jpg"]
