171: I can tear an 8th-level monster apart with my bare hands! I've achieved physical immortality, and I'll use you as a meteor hammer!

However...

They didn't know.

At this moment, although Lu Sheng couldn't understand that gibberish.

But he had activated his Dragon Eyes, and his spiritual perception was sharp to the extreme.

The naked greed and malice in those two pairs of eyes, along with their intent to slice him up for research, were as clear to him as searchlights in the dark of night.

"Heh..."

Lu Sheng, standing a hundred meters away, suddenly smiled.

It was a playful, somewhat cold smile.

"It seems that old geezer Tian Zhen didn't feed you enough."

Lu Sheng spoke lazily, his voice surging with spirit source, piercing through the curtain of rain and drilling clearly into their ears.

"He sent two dogs over, and instead of thinking about biting, you're only thinking about how to divide the bones?"

As soon as he said this.

The expressions of the two brothers, who were still daydreaming, instantly darkened.

"Human insect."

Tian You stepped forward and let out a piercing sneer in stiff, broken human language.

"You think that just because you've reached Level 7, you're invincible? That you have the right to bark in front of us?"

"Before the Deep Sea Races, you humans..."

"...will always be nothing but lowly Blood Food!"

Boom—!

A terrifying pressure belonging to a Level 8 Expert crushed toward Lu Sheng like a tsunami.

Facing this overwhelming ridicule and pressure.

Lu Sheng didn't argue; even the expression on his face didn't change in the slightest.

He merely raised his right hand slowly.

He crooked his finger slightly at Tian You, who was shouting the loudest.

A signature, extremely cruel smile appeared on his face.

"I don't know about being invincible."

"I only know..."

Lu Sheng's golden vertical pupils constricted suddenly, his killing intent sharp as a blade.

"Your lives belong to me now."

"You're looking for death!!"

Tian You flew into a rage.

A mere human who had just been promoted to Level 7 dared to provoke a noble Level 8 Expert like this?

This was like plucking hair from a tiger's beard!

"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!!"

"Bang—!!"

The surface of the sea instantly exploded, kicking up a huge wave ten meters high.

Tian You's figure vanished from the spot instantly.

Fast!

Too fast!

The explosive power of a Level 8 Drowned One was displayed to its fullest at this moment.

He was like a heavy cannonball fired from its barrel, carrying a screech that tore through the air as he instantly crossed the ten-meter distance and appeared before Lu Sheng!

That fist, covered in black scales with nails like knives, carried a terrifying monstrous strength capable of shattering a battleship's armor plating as it went straight for Lu Sheng's face!

He used eighty percent of his strength in this punch.

He wanted to smash that foul mouth while still leaving the kid with a breath of life.

However...

Facing this punch that would drive an ordinary Level 7 expert to despair...

Lu Sheng didn't dodge.

He didn't even strike a defensive pose.

He just stood there, his feet gripping the sea as if rooted, and raised his own right fist.

No fancy techniques.

No enhancement from spirit source secret arts.

Just a simple, unadorned—straight punch!

Head-on!

"Is this kid crazy?!"

Tian Zuo, watching from behind, had his pupils contract as a sense of absurdity flashed through his mind.

That was the Physical Body of a Level 8 Expert!

How could those fragile human bones dare to compare their hardness with the Deep Sea Races?!

The next second.

The answer was revealed.

"Thud—!!!"

A dull, heavy bang instantly drowned out the thunder filling the sky.

That wasn't the sound of flesh and blood colliding.

It was the roar of two pieces of high-density alloy smashing into each other at extreme speed!

A terrifying shockwave centered on the point where their fists met, spreading wildly in a circular ring.

The seawater within a hundred-meter radius was actually forced down by this power, forming a massive vacuum bowl shape!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Tian You's originally ferocious and mocking expression froze completely.

Then, it turned into extreme terror and distortion.

Pain!

Piercing, agonizing pain!

He felt like his punch hadn't landed on a body at all, but had slammed into an indestructible Ancient Divine Mountain!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

Tian You's proud finger bones actually let out a groan of being overwhelmed.

An indescribably terrifying counter-shock force traveled up his arm, numbing half of his body!

In contrast, Lu Sheng...

...didn't budge an inch!

He didn't even knit his brows!

After the internal tempering of Five Viscera Golden Body and the remodeling of Strong Bone Level II...

At this moment, Lu Sheng was a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex in human skin!

"That's it?"

Lu Sheng looked at the terrified Tian You, a sneer curling his lips.

"A Level 8 Expert? Haven't you eaten?"

"This little bit of strength isn't even enough to tickle me."

Humiliation!

Blatant humiliation!

"Aaaaah!!"

Tian You let out a roar of absolute shame and rage, just as he was about to pull back.

"Second brother! Watch out! This kid is weird!!"

From behind, Tian Zuo, who had been watching the whole time, finally realized the severity of the situation.

This human's Physical Body strength was simply ridiculous!

"Hiss—!!"

Tian Zuo no longer acted arrogant and let out a sharp hiss.

His figure pulled out an afterimage as he instantly circled behind Lu Sheng.

In his hand, a dark green dagger polished from a Deep-Sea Venomous Fang had appeared at some point; it emitted a nauseating stench as it stabbed straight for Lu Sheng's spine!

Two against one!

And a sneak attack to boot!

This was the fighting style of the Drowning Clan: by any means necessary for victory!

"Lu Sheng, watch your back!!"

On the blazing flame, Qin Yue and the others watched with eyes nearly splitting, crying out in alarm.

However...

Lu Sheng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

Facing the killing blow from behind, he still didn't look back.

Because he didn't need to.

"Want to run?"

Golden light surged in Lu Sheng's eyes, and the furnace of his five viscera roared into operation.

He suddenly changed his fist into a claw, grabbing Tian You's fist before he could withdraw it.

Dragon Claw activated!

Although he hadn't activated his Human-Dragon Form, that terrifying grip strength caused Tian You's knuckles to crackle; it was as if they were welded shut by iron pincers, making it impossible to break free!

"Come... here!!"

Lu Sheng gave a thunderous shout, the muscles all over his body bulging like coiling dragons.

Using Tian You's arm as a fulcrum, he actually swung this Level 8 Expert—who weighed hundreds of pounds and stood two meters tall—right up!

A human weapon!

Whoosh—!!

Tian You felt the world spinning as he turned into a massive Meteor Hammer.

With a whistling sound, he was smashed violently toward Tian Zuo, who was attacking from behind!

"What?!"

Tian Zuo, who was about to deliver a fatal blow, was scared out of his wits as he saw his own younger brother smashing toward him.

What the hell kind of fighting style was this?!

"Get lost!!"

Lu Sheng roared, his arm exerting force as he swung in a wide arc—a sweep that could clear a thousand soldiers!

"Bang!!!"

The Physical Bodies of the two Level 8 Experts collided violently in mid-air!
