202: Brute force is the way to go

In the space surrounded by the four Magic Treasures, the combined power of the four individuals, when raised to the power of four, was equivalent to one person's power multiplied over two hundred times.

In other words, when Tang Ku faced one of the Heavenly Kings, he was essentially facing over two hundred individuals with identical magical power.

This kind of power, like Tang Ku's body, was a bug!

No matter how strong Tang Ku's attack power was, it was useless against a defense stacked to such an extent.

However, Tang Ku's movement speed was too fast; to some extent, it exceeded their ability to track him. Their power was strong, their defense was strong, and when stacked, they could achieve effects that were originally unimaginable, but precisely, all of them had one weakness, and that was speed!

Even with over two hundred stacks, their speed was still no match for Tang Ku.

Sometimes, when Tang Ku attacked, they individually perceived his attack, but couldn't react in time. So, they had to rely on the power of their Magic Treasures to change their physical state and evade the attack. At that moment, once they reacted, they quickly restored their bodies and then used their powerful stacking ability to continue resisting head-on!

Within this four-dimensional space, the Four Heavenly Kings had a certain ability to alter the reality of the space.

Therefore, their bodies could change according to their will, which allowed them to evade Tang Ku's attacks.

"...Can you deal with the power of over two hundred people concentrated in one place?"

Magician Qing chuckled, "We four brothers will keep Buddha of Sandalwood Merit here today!"

Tang Ku suddenly touched his nose and found that his sleeves, including his clothes, were beyond repair. He simply tore off his monk's robe from his upper body and smiled faintly, "If you can do it, try it..."

Before he could finish speaking, the opponent's attack had already begun. Countless winds, rains, thunder, and lightning accompanied their attacks, besieging Tang Ku. The terrifying power was like the end of the world, making people shudder.

But Tang Ku completely ignored these, instead chuckling and cracking his knuckles. His body instantly transformed into an illusion, suddenly appearing behind Magician Qing, who was leading the charge. His right fist, covered by the War God Gauntlets, fiercely slammed into his back. This punch was simple and direct, yet it still failed to break through his defense.

The four instantly reacted, surrounding Tang Ku in the center, and their weapons relentlessly stabbed at him.

Tang Ku, however, smiled slightly, simply removing the War God Gauntlets and once again unleashing Xuanwu True Skill. Then, disregarding the opponent's attacks, he continued to press his assault on Magician Qing. This time, he infused the Fist Intent of the Heaven Shaking stance from the Great Wilderness Divine Fist into every single attack, fiercely swinging at his chest. In that instant, there were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of attacks.

"Heh heh, aren't your powers stackable? I can actually do this kind of attack too... No matter how strong your defense is, there must be a limit, right? Then I'll break that limit!"

With Xuanwu True Skill protecting his body, he barely had to worry about getting injured. He just had to charge forward with his head down, focusing solely on attacking.

And his attacks, tens of millions of them, were all concentrated on a single point.

Within his fist, there was the Fist Intent of the Great Wilderness Divine Fist, and also a shadow of a skill from the Illusory Buddha Clone, which was to sacrifice all Clones in exchange for one full-power attack opportunity. To put it plainly, this was a way of stacking the attacks of the Clones into one offensive move.

This was borrowing, but also innovation, and likewise, an sublimation of Tang Ku's power.

In fact, in his opinion, combat was never static. Adapting to circumstances and using one's Comprehension Ability to develop stronger, more targeted attack methods—that was the Dao!

Although the Four Heavenly Kings' attacks were strong, they were unchanging. Their power was fixed at over two hundred times and showed no further progress. But Tang Ku's attacks were different; each of his punches was a power stack. If one wasn't enough, he'd do two; if two weren't enough, he'd do four. Stacking up hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times, concentrated on one point—how terrifying and formidable was the power that erupted from this.

This was pure physical strength, yet it finally made Magician Qing, who had shown no change in expression until now, change his countenance.

He only felt the armor on his chest, the heart-guard portion, suddenly tremble, and then it instantly shattered into countless pieces like broken glass.

The defense, stacked over two hundred times, gave him no sense of security whatsoever. He instantly felt something bad was about to happen, and then felt a pain in his chest. A gaping hole suddenly appeared in that spot, and then a huge impact slammed him violently against the surrounding space.

Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out. The remaining three almost simultaneously took a step back, and a mouthful of blood involuntarily gushed out. All four looked at the understated Tang Ku with shocked expressions, their faces filled with disbelief!

"...Is it brute force?"

Magician Qing looked down at his injury; it was slowly recovering, but the huge hole was as big as a basketball. Flesh and blood were easy to recover, but the Meridians and energy were not so easily restored.

"Hmm... not entirely, but largely so!"

Tang Ku raised his fist and chuckled, "I told you, any defense method has its limits, and I am here to break those limits... Oh, and let me tell you, I haven't used my full power from the start!"

The four looked horrified, then exchanged glances, and simply dropped the weapons in their hands. The four weapons instantly fell out of the Formation's range, plummeting towards the mountains below.

"Hmm, generally speaking, dropping weapons means surrender or unleashing a big move... I imagine you wouldn't be surrendering!"

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes and said, "What ultimate move? Let's see it."

"We four brothers have guarded the Buddhist sect for a thousand years, and we have never seen such pure physical strength as yours. Even Sun Wukong back then, his physical strength didn't seem to be as good as yours!"

Magician Qing said in a deep voice.

"You flatter me. There's still quite a gap between me and my disciple!"

Tang Ku touched the tip of his nose and smiled.

"Therefore, if we brothers want to keep you, we cannot use too gentle methods... Sorry, Buddha, once this Formation is activated, unless we actively withdraw it, the only way to break it is to kill us!"

Magician Qing said in a deep voice, "And now, we will transform our bodies into the Formation, using the Demon Subduing Divine Thunder of the Buddhist Dao to completely erase you from this world!"

"Oh, how terrifying!"

Tang Ku thought for a moment. It seemed that when he was Golden Cicada, he had heard of such a Formation, which was even more overbearing than the Daoist Five Thunder Righteousness. However, a Divine Thunder of this power couldn't harm him!

Magician Qing saw his seemingly indifferent demeanor and couldn't help but inwardly rejoice: what he wanted was exactly this disdainful and careless attitude!
