316: The last ability

"Illusory Void Force, Great Wilderness Divine Fist, First Form, Earth-Grip!"

Hum!

Ripples visible to the naked eye spread from Tang Ku's right fist, and immediately after, he threw the punch. Terrifying power erupted instantly, spreading downwards.

Boom!

As soon as Adolf reacted, he felt the ground before him rolling like waves, then surging toward him like a tide. This scene of heaven and earth collapsing left him completely disoriented.

If he tried to break through in any direction, he would have to smash through soil and sand thicker and higher than a city wall; if he didn't escape, he would be instantly buried by the massive amount of earth.

"Although I won't die, it won't feel good to be buried alive..."

Adolf's eyes darted around, and in an instant, he discovered the flaw in this move. He took a deep breath, stomped his foot, and his body shot into the air like a missile, darting out through the gap above just before the soil from all directions closed in.

He flew up very quickly, exceeding the speed of sound in an instant, and the resulting sonic boom actually helped widen the gap slightly, delaying the time it took for the soil to close in, which allowed him to escape alive.

It must be said that the timing of his move was extremely clever; if he had activated it a little slower or faster, he would have been buried alive down there.

Adolf was still airborne, looking at the scene below that resembled a disaster movie, and he still felt a lingering fear.

"Too terrifying. This power is practically the same as the methods of those Great Leaders..."

Adolf's mind stirred, and he immediately kicked his feet to escape, but he suddenly felt a heat at the back of his neck; he had already been gripped by a powerful hand. Then, he heard a voice in his ear: "Your reaction is truly fast, even I have to admire that. However, not being able to fly is your greatest flaw. You were able to shoot up here entirely relying on your Physical Body strength and your speed... Oh, that's right, it seems this Physical Body strength can also count as an ability! Not bad, really not bad..."

Adolf's expression was terrified, and suddenly red light bloomed in his eyes. Tang Ku was not making any defense at that moment. In a split second of daze, Adolf had already appeared several meters away and was falling rapidly toward the ground at an even faster speed.

"Hmm? This is different from the power that controlled people's bodies just now..."

Tang Ku smiled slightly, "Is it an influence exerted by Mental Energy? Hmm, that's not right either..."

Suddenly realizing the significance of this move, Tang Ku frowned: "No... This is not an ability he should have... Inside this... contains the power of Law! It was the Law of time that paused my time for that 0.1 second... On him, there is a Magical Artifact that can pause time!"

Seeing the person behind him chasing again, Adolf was greatly alarmed: "Not good, his power is too strong. Pausing him for only 0.1 seconds has already pushed the time axis beyond its limit... If I use it again, it will definitely overload..."

"Hehe, you should still have two abilities you haven't shown, right? You might as well use them now, otherwise, you won't have the chance..."

Tang Ku suddenly accelerated, chasing down behind Adolf.

A glint flashed in Adolf's eyes, and he immediately made his choice. He suddenly spread the five fingers of his right hand, turned to face Tang Ku, his body still falling rapidly.

"Water Afterimage..."

Tang Ku only felt that Adolf's figure had appeared before him in the blink of an eye. He hurriedly threw a punch, but unexpectedly, this punch had immense power, smashing Adolf's figure into pieces with a boom, blood splashing and flesh flying... However, Tang Ku did not feel a shred of joy, because he saw another figure already escaping toward the forest below, which had been distorted by his punch.

The shattered remains instantly turned into countless water droplets, disappearing before Tang Ku's eyes.

After a moment of thought, Tang Ku understood the principle of his move and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Using water molecules in the air to create a scapegoat that looks like a Clone? Lifelike, even the colors are exactly the same. As expected of someone with a background in art!"

Tang Ku chuckled. From beginning to end, he had not pursued Adolf with his full strength. In fact, with the speed of the Somersault Cloud, killing Adolf would have been a matter of an instant, but Tang Ku did not deliver the killing blow because he really wanted to see how many trump cards this legendary World War II demon could hide. In the dark, he felt that this action of his would bring a great advantage to future battles.

"No other moves? Hehe, I want to know what your final ability is..."

Adolf wove through the forest, but at this moment, he could no longer move as freely as before. After all, the terrain had been destroyed by Tang Ku's punch; sand, soil, and some huge rocks overturned from underground made it difficult for him to take a step.

And when he finally managed to walk to the edge of the forest, he found that bald monk standing by the river waiting for him.

"Sigh, it seems I cannot escape today!"

Adolf's heart settled instead. He walked over slowly and stood face to face with Tang Ku, saying, "Your power is truly strong, comparable to the Great Leader I know. To be able to die at your hands can be considered my honor."

"Not planning to escape anymore?"

Tang Ku asked with a playful smile, "You should still have one ability you haven't used, right? Perhaps you could even turn the tables!"

Adolf shook his head: "Your power exceeds my imagination, and the energy in my body is almost depleted. Even if I run, I won't get far, so why struggle anymore!"

"What a pity!"

Tang Ku smiled, "Just now when you paused time, what did you use as an aid? Can you tell me?"

Adolf was very straightforward. He took an object that looked like a keychain off his belt and threw it to Tang Ku, saying: "This is a life-saving weapon given to me by the Great Leader. I call it the Time Axis..."

Tang Ku caught the little thing called the "Time Axis" and weighed it in his hand. It wasn't actually heavy; it was pointed at both ends and bulged in the middle, like a slender date pit. It was made entirely of metal and looked like a toy welded together by a rough welder.

"Just this little thing can actually pry time and achieve a pause effect similar to the Law of time?"

Tang Ku couldn't help but exclaim, "This kind of craftsmanship, this kind of invention, ordinary people simply couldn't do it! Hmm, your Great Leader... is Nikola Tesla?"

Adolf couldn't help but be shocked: "You even know this?"

Tang Ku laughed and said: "It seems your information sharing with each other isn't very clear. You don't even know who I am at all, do you?"

Adolf suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I once heard members of the First Team mention... their Great Leader once faced a monk from the Great Tang named Tang Sanzang. Could it be you?"

Tang Ku chuckled and then said: "That's right, I am Tang Sanzang... Why, do you have any other questions before you die?"

"What needed to be asked has already been asked; there is no need to ask anything else!" Adolf suddenly smiled mysteriously, "Don't you want to know what my final ability is? You will see it immediately... Stripping..."
