443: Loss of control

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Tang Ku's fists and kicks landed entirely on Gouchen the Great Emperor's chest and back. Because he specifically targeted blind spots, and with Gouchen the Great Emperor missing his right hand, he basically had no way to deal with Tang Ku. Although the Emperor Sword in his hand could release Sword Qi, it was easily and casually dodged by Tang Ku every time.

After all, from this angle, the range and openings of his attacks were at their greatest, and Tang Ku had already activated Spiritual Awareness Microscopic; as long as there was even the slightest opening, he would seize it and then easily dodge!

Gouchen the Great Emperor was so anxious he was yelling, his sword dancing so fast it was almost a blur, yet he couldn't touch a single hair on Tang Ku.

In his desperation, the constantly beaten Gouchen the Great Emperor finally couldn't hold back anymore. With an angry roar, the missing part of his right arm was instantly restored, actually growing back just like that, fresh and whole.

That's right; in fact, he was fully capable of restoring his body to its original state in an instant, but doing so would consume a massive amount of power!

Although he didn't know what method the other party had used to snatch away a portion of the energy of the Warfare Laws, it was always right to conserve a bit more of the power within his own body, so he hadn't immediately repaired his injuries.

But now, trapped in a situation where he was passively taking a beating, he could no longer care about such things. The moment his bare right arm grew back, it instantly lunged toward Tang Ku. However, Tang Ku was like a loach, becoming incredibly slippery. Even though he exhausted all his efforts, he still couldn't catch him at all. Instead, Tang Ku would occasionally sneak in a few punches, hitting him so hard it was heart-wrenchingly painful, yet he had absolutely no way to deal with him.

In terms of strength, he seemed to be quite a bit stronger than Tang Ku, but in terms of speed and agility, he was far inferior. Especially when Tang Ku unleashed the speed of his Somersault Cloud and the Immortal-God version of the Lingbo Microsteps, Gouchen the Great Emperor couldn't even touch his hem!

"Damn it... truly damn it... Tang Sanzang... you... damn you!"

Boom!

Gouchen the Great Emperor finally couldn't endure it any longer. An extremely terrifying power surged out from his body as if it were self-destructing, making him appear as dazzling as a sun.

Bang!

The terrifying impact and heat exploded outward along with the powerful energy. Tang Ku couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was instantly scorched. However, there was no look of panic on Tang Ku's face; instead, he wore an expression of sudden realization.

Tang Ku retreated in flight, stopping a few hundred meters away from Gouchen the Great Emperor, looking at him thoughtfully.

Gouchen the Great Emperor turned his head back abruptly and, finding Tang Ku with a mocking expression, couldn't help but angrily ask, "What are you laughing at?"

"Hehe, nothing. I'm laughing because I realized it too late!"

Tang Ku suddenly laughed, "The gods of the Immortal Realm, except for the Saints, all had their physical bodies destroyed by that mysterious power. That includes you, right!"

Gouchen the Great Emperor gave a cold snort, which counted as an admission. He had already transferred his long sword to his right hand, ready at any moment to teach this monk who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson.

"This body is also a human vessel you snatched through Possession, right!" Tang Ku suddenly laughed, "That's why your control is so poor... your attacks seem incredibly powerful, but in reality, you waste too much energy!"

Gouchen the Great Emperor finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

"Hehe, can you really not realize this?"

Tang Ku laughed, "No, it's just that you are unwilling to admit it. You should have thought of this when you forcibly used Possession. These vessels are not your own bodies, so a drop in control is inevitable... Do you know? You actually made a wrong move. Although it seemed to yield quick results, it buried hidden dangers within your bodies. I can guarantee that even if I didn't come today, you wouldn't be a match for those Reincarnation monks of the Buddhist sect. Of course, you also wouldn't win against those conservatives who use Mortal bodies to nourish their souls!"

Gouchen the Great Emperor sneered, "Alarmist talk. It's as if you weren't the one who was just injured!"

Tang Ku returned the sneer, "What? You don't believe it? Hehe, whether you believe it or not is the same. Next, I'm going to beat you until you doubt your own existence... so, prepare yourself!"

"Boastful words... I want to see exactly what you can do to me!"

Boom!

Gouchen the Great Emperor's speed soared instantly. He swung his sword violently, and countless Sword Qi instantly transformed into a Sword Qi tornado, covering the direction toward Tang Ku.

Tang Ku couldn't help but chuckle, "Your actions are just like a child squandering Immortal Origin power at will. Your control is completely insufficient to support you in using this level of power... This is the hidden danger I was talking about!"

He stood motionless, quietly waiting for the tornado to descend before him, and then simply threw a single punch.

Great Wilderness Divine Fist: Space Shatterer!

The Sword Qi tornado was instantly shattered to pieces. After unleashing this punch, Tang Ku suddenly turned around, his left hand struck out instantly, and another punch was blasted out.

Hum!

Equal Straight Punch was unleashed instantly, colliding head-on with Gouchen the Great Emperor's fist. Both forces exploded equally, the impact canceling each other out. In the instant that Gouchen the Great Emperor hadn't reacted at all, Tang Ku's right fist struck again. Ten Dragons Ten Elephants Fist exploded with a forty-fold amplitude, slamming fiercely into Gouchen the Great Emperor's chest.

Crack!

His sternum shattered suddenly, and his entire body crashed into a hilltop a hundred meters behind him, actually collapsing half of the entire mountain.

"I told you, you waste too much power. Even though your skill and strength remain, your flexibility and agility have dropped by more than half because of this body!"

Tang Ku sneered as he looked in the direction where he had disappeared, "That trick of yours, similar to space travel, also uses power extracted from the Warfare Laws, right? It's a pity, you can't control this kind of power at all. I only need to sense those wasted energies overflowing from your body to capture your movements!"

Swish!

Gouchen the Great Emperor appeared instantly behind Tang Ku. His face was gloomy, and he didn't speak.

Tang Ku, with his back to him, smiled slightly, "What's wrong? Your move didn't work just now, and now you want to repeat the same trick?"

"I really admire you!"

Gouchen the Great Emperor said in a deep voice, "Come to think of it, I also paid attention to you when you were on your pilgrimage. At that time, you were still an ordinary monk with no strength to truss a chicken, but I didn't expect that in less than a hundred years, you have actually grown to this point... Your Aptitude and talent are truly impressive!"

"Can't help it, having a cheat code makes a difference!"

Tang Ku said with a slightly smug smile.

"Cheat code? What is that?" Gouchen the Great Emperor frowned slightly; he completely didn't understand what Tang Ku was talking about.

"Nothing!" Tang Ku suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know? After that punch just now, I suddenly have a new move. Perhaps this move will be enough to take your life!"

"Hmph, likewise. I also have a move I haven't used yet; it's perfect to use you for an experiment..." Gouchen the Great Emperor lightly flicked his hand, and the long sword instantly turned into countless metal fragments, which then gathered toward Gouchen the Great Emperor's body...
