442: Xuanwu Zhengong made great achievements again

Weapons of war are ominous; the Saint uses them only when there is no other choice!

Even the best war is ominous, detested by people, and abhorred by the Saint. Unless forced by circumstances, a Saint will not use war to resolve problems.

This is also the reason why Tang Ku calls the Warfare Laws something abandoned by all. Drawing power from war is something the Saint finds shameful.

Therefore, generally speaking, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever attained sainthood by comprehending the Warfare Laws, because it violates the Heavenly Dao.

However, the Gouchen the Great Emperor before him had actually comprehended the Warfare Laws, and to such a high Realm. At the same time, his Power Law... seemed to be a notch higher than Tang Ku's.

Unless he was cheating, this was basically impossible!

Because before attaining sainthood, almost no one could master more than two Laws without suffering a backlash; that also violates the Heavenly Dao. In other words, was Gouchen the Great Emperor cheating?

'No, that's not right... It should be said that he found some kind of BUG! He is... exploiting a loophole in the Heavenly Dao!'

Suspended in mid-air and completely unable to resist, Tang Ku was smashed into the ground once again. Aside from his limbs, his body was embedded in the ground... Under the effect of the Power Law, all the bones in his body had cracked, and he was basically unable to move!

Hum!

A sharp aura descended instantly, nearly severing Tang Ku's right shoulder. It turned out to be a massive Sword Qi unleashed by the Emperor Sword.

'Hmm, using a sword is not as satisfying as using fists!'

Gouchen the Great Emperor stood before Tang Ku, pointed his sword at Tang Ku in the ground, and sneered: 'Rest assured, I won't let you die so easily. I will shatter every bone in your body, make you completely lose the ability to resist, and then watch your companions be killed... Heh, didn't you look down on the Warfare Laws? This will let you know the terror of the Warfare Laws!'

As he spoke, he pulled back his long sword and stomped on Tang Ku's chest. This time, the sternum could no longer bear the heavy pressure and instantly shattered into countless fragments. These fragments nearly pierced into his flesh, threatening to break through the skin and pierce his heart simultaneously. Tang Ku's heart seemed to stop beating at this moment.

'Can the Xuanwu True Skill not block it at all?'

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly unconcerned about the damage to his body. He raised his head, looked at Gouchen the Great Emperor with a provocative gaze, and sneered: 'So that's how it is. What you are actually Cultivating is still the Warfare Laws... This Power Law is actually an illusory Law evolved from the Warfare Laws... Heh, is this why you are proficient in two types of Laws? You really know how to take shortcuts!'

Gouchen the Great Emperor frowned slightly, his expression gloomy as he said: 'Hmph, although it is what you call an illusory Law, it is enough to kill you... I will ask you one last time: are you going to follow me or not? If you say the word 'no', not only will you die, but your companions, including Zhen Yuanzi, will all die horribly!'

Tang Ku did not answer him, but instead narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: 'Gouchen the Great Emperor, have you ever heard that villains die because they talk too much?'

Gouchen the Great Emperor's mouth twitched, and he roared: 'You are courting death!'

Boom!

This punch condensed all his anger, while simultaneously containing the Power Law, and it smashed down heavily onto Tang Ku's chest again.

With his strength, he was confident that he could shatter even the ancient Mount Buzhou with this punch.

But unfortunately, Tang Ku was not injured by this punch.

Because the reflection mechanism of the Xuanwu True Skill was triggered during this fifth attack!

Boom!

Gouchen the Great Emperor's right arm was completely shattered by his own powerful strength; from flesh to bone, everything crumbled into dust. The moment the entire arm exploded, Gouchen the Great Emperor finally reacted. Although he did not know what had happened to cause his injury, the fact of the injury made his scalp tingle instantly. Like a frightened rabbit, he jumped back rapidly and said in a deep voice: 'You... what Demonic Technique is this?'

Sticking his long sword into the ground, he wiped his hand over his severed arm. A faint golden light enveloped the wound, while he looked at Tang Ku, who had just climbed out of the pit, with lingering fear.

'That was close... Saved by the Xuanwu True Skill again! Heh, to have cultivated such a level of physical fitness and still get beaten up like this... Heh, it's really quite embarrassing!'

Tang Ku chuckled and frantically circulated his Kunpeng Mystic Skill, beginning to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi. It had to be said that a lot of power had dissipated in the surroundings, and the Immortal Origin power within it was extremely dense. This showed that the opponent's previous attack had wasted a great deal of power. Moreover, there were other energies contained nearby—energies that Tang Ku could not fully understand but could easily absorb.

However, this happened to benefit Tang Ku; the Kunpeng Mystic Skill devoured the surrounding energy crazily and began to constantly repair his body.

Gouchen the Great Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Tang Ku, and suddenly chuckled: 'So that's it. This must be your trump card for survival, a Magic Treasure, or something else? I have to say, you are hiding very deep!'

'I'm not hiding anything...'

Tang Ku cracked his wrists, moved his arms, looked down at his chest which had collapsed by five or six centimeters, and couldn't help but smile crookedly: 'Don't you find it strange?'

Gouchen the Great Emperor was slightly stunned, then asked: 'What's strange?'

'For this long, the power you drew using the Warfare Laws... don't you feel it has decreased a lot?'

Tang Ku's shattered skull was the first to be repaired, and the sunken right side of his head also returned to normal. His sternum was also slowly rising and falling; those bone fragments that had pierced through his skin were naturally expelled from his body, falling to the ground, while new bones were slowly growing.

Gouchen the Great Emperor was stunned upon hearing this, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He said in a deep voice: 'What did you do?'

'Nothing much. The energy produced by the Warfare Laws is also energy; I just absorbed a little!'

Tang Ku wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and sneered, 'Now, it's time for me to collect some interest...'

Swish!

Tang Ku directly activated the second stage of his Somersault Cloud power, his speed soaring to the extreme in an instant. He punched toward Gouchen the Great Emperor. Gouchen the Great Emperor was a bit distracted by Tang Ku's words at that moment, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, he had already been sent flying by a punch.

Although Tang Ku's Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Fist did not seem to cause much damage to the Quasi-Saint's body, Gouchen the Great Emperor felt as if he had been greatly insulted. Fortunately, the moment he flew out, he almost subconsciously pulled out his long sword from the ground and unleashed a Sword Qi in the direction of the pursuing Tang Ku. But unfortunately, Tang Ku had learned to be much smarter this time; he suddenly shrank to his right side and then kicked him hard in the back.

'Heh, it's very inconvenient to be missing a right arm, isn't it? This is your blind spot for attacks!'
