201: The secret of the four

Tang Ku's move indeed caught the Four Heavenly Kings off guard, but they didn't panic at all; instead, they instantly gathered in one place, their Magic Treasures raining down on Tang Ku as if they were worthless.

Tang Ku, however, smiled slightly, suddenly transforming into countless illusions... This wasn't his Illusory Buddha Clone, but rather the inherent speed of his Kryptonian Physique. This body truly possessed a bug-like ability; that previous breath he took was also an inherent ability of the Kryptonian Physique.

Beyond that, all his senses—hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc.—had significantly improved. Even his reaction speed and brain's processing ability had greatly increased, allowing him to think about his opponents' actions while moving at high speed and make the most suitable combat adjustments.

The Four Heavenly Kings' attacks were like a torrential storm, yet they couldn't touch him at all. Tang Ku, however, could occasionally land a heavy blow on them, but with his ordinary attacks, he couldn't even harm a single hair on any of the four.

"Hmm? All attacks were taken head-on... Their body structures shouldn't be able to reach this extent. So, the question is, how did they manage to withstand my attacks?"

Tang Ku was directly sent flying by Mo Lishou's twin maces, but he quickly reacted. His War God Gauntlets reappeared, then flashed and appeared at Mo Lishou's ribs, delivering a punch towards his waist.

However, Mo Lishou's body instantly seemed to turn into a glowing mass of air. Tang Ku's attack had no effect, passing through him as if it were truly air. The moment it passed through, Mo Lishou's body returned to normal, and he brought his twin maces down on Tang Ku's head.

"Hmm, why aren't you taking it head-on this time?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and withstood the attack with his bald head. Then, he suddenly turned around and kicked Mo Lishou's chest. Unexpectedly, Mo Lishou puffed out his chest, actually taking Tang Ku's attack head-on and even sending him flying back.

At this moment, Moli Hong's Fangtian Halberd swept over from the side, striking heavily against his waist. Tang Ku instantly became like a cannonball, flying out uncontrollably, and, by chance, crashed hard into the Qingyun Sword.

Magic Treasures are sentient. The Qingyun Sword had suffered greatly from Tang Ku just now, and it took this opportunity to add insult to injury. Instantly, countless sword shadows swept over, cutting various sizes of... white marks on Tang Ku's body!

The Qingyun Sword almost doubted its existence... no, its sword-existence. It had slain countless enemies in its life and had never seen a body so tough.

Tang Ku used the impact to roll to the side, evading the attack range.

"No, they're not always taking my attacks head-on... Hmm, Mo Lihai was also like that just now... This means they're not always confident they can withstand my attacks... So, what's the problem?"

Tang Ku frowned slightly, his fist suddenly deflecting Mo Lihai's bright silver spear that flew towards him. He then dodged Magician Qing's long spear and soared upwards at extreme speed.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of the four Magic Treasures around him, and a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"Just now, when something happened to Magician Qing, his brothers were all able to arrive instantly. This means there's some subtle connection between them, possibly a form of telepathy that allows them to instantly know what the other is thinking, even share information, and perhaps even share their power..."

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly, "If that's the case, then... I'll try it and see!"

With that, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a strange power condensed within them. Then, two red beams of light shot out fiercely from his pupils, carrying powerful energy, radiation, and a certain impact, heading towards the nearest Mo Lihai.

Indeed, the Kryptonian Physique brought not only changes in physical strength but also the powerful inherent abilities of a Kryptonian, the legendary extremely powerful Heat Vision. This was Tang Ku's first time using this skill, so his control wasn't very stable, resulting in maximum intensity output right from the start.

Mo Lihai's expression sank slightly, and then his body once again transformed into a watery substance. The two Heat Vision beams passed directly through him.

However, that powerful energy was like boiling water, directly making the water at the penetration point bubble.

By this time, he had returned to his original form, but the Heat Vision was still continuously outputting. However, after solidifying, Mo Lihai still managed to withstand the energy of the Heat Vision head-on.

"Bang!"

A burst of fire exploded on his chest, sending Mo Lihai flying far away, but he didn't sustain much damage.

At this moment, Tang Ku suddenly stopped his attack, narrowing his eyes slightly and smiling, "So that's it. The Four Heavenly Kings are connected by Qi, their energies intertwined, achieving a doubled effect. Your combined power isn't simply four times four; it's four to the power of four..."

Magician Qing saw him stop attacking but heard words he couldn't understand at all, and couldn't help but frown slightly, "What exactly do you mean?"

Tang Ku chuckled, "Mo Lihai, that taste of my Heat Vision wasn't pleasant, was it... Haha, you should have been injured just now, and in that state, there was nowhere to hide, so your injuries should have been very severe. But why were there almost no injuries? Because your defenses are linked, and your endurance is also intertwined. When your powers are connected, such injuries seem insignificant, right?"

"You... when did you discover this?"

Magician Qing stood in front of him with his brothers, "You actually discovered the secret of our power?"

"I suspected it from the beginning... Sometimes you would transform into an energy body to evade attacks, and sometimes you would take my attacks head-on with your bodies... Haha, this is a problem with your reaction speed, isn't it? As long as my speed is fast enough, I can quickly approach your bodies, but your interconnected powers can't react in time to apply the defensive power of all four individuals to one person. So, you can only transform into an ethereal body to evade attacks. And normally, your bodies can withstand hits because your defensive powers are stacked together, allowing you to resist my attacks. The damage you receive is then distributed, and with the physical capabilities of a Buddhist Vajra, recovering from such insignificant injuries is incredibly simple!"

Tang Ku raised a finger and smiled, "As for the shapeshifting method... within this Formation formed by Magic Treasures, you can change the rules to a certain extent, right?"

"That's right, whether it's attack power, defense, or recovery, our powers are all stacked together, and they've been stacked more than once!"

Magician Qing chuckled, "When you face any one of us, it's equivalent to facing over two hundred people of similar strength!"
