Wang’s “Heaven-Shattering Strike” was the most formidable move within his peerless boxing art.

Its brilliance lay in the ability to use his own mana to induce resonance and turbulence in the opponent’s mana, resulting in both internal and external damage.

Thus, by utilizing the opponent’s own power to attack them from within, it was not only devastating but also extremely difficult to defend against, especially adept at breaking through various forms of physical defense.

The only reason he hadn’t used the Heaven-Shattering Strike in previous combats was a single factor!

“Can’t kill him!”

“How can I sell him for a high price if he’s dead?”

“Crippling him too much is also bad; healing him is a cost!”

Unlike Zhang Yu, who was fully focused on the battle at hand, Wang viewed the situation not as a fight, but as part of his job. His combat decisions were primarily based on balancing company profits rather than the battle itself!

After all, for him, this fight…

“Victory is assured, so the key is to win spectacularly, generate publicity value, and create higher profits!”

“Now, without the heart cultivation boost, the power of the Heaven-Shattering Strike won’t reach its full potential, but it’s just right for dealing with Zhang Yu!”

Wang’s fist imprint blasted forth, carrying surging energy, striking Zhang Yu’s chest squarely!

With a crackling explosion, the surrounding air shattered abruptly, and the ground beneath their feet seemed to be crushed by mountains, instantly caving in under the tremendous impact!

Wang watched as his fist pressed against Zhang Yu’s pectoral muscles, ribs, and internal organs…feeling the opponent’s flesh and blood gradually give way beneath his fist!

He was surprised: “This guy… all offense and no defense, completely abandoned his guard.”

At the same time, violent martial energy followed Wang’s fist, slamming into Zhang Yu’s chest and sweeping destructively through his entire body!

Then, Wang discovered that Zhang Yu’s body was empty, without a trace of mana to resist!

No mana meant the Heaven-Shattering Strike couldn’t trigger the enemy’s energy, unable to unleash its maximum destructive power!

“This guy knows the secret of the Heaven-Shattering Strike, so he simply gave up defending, even without leaving a trace of mana!”

“Hmph, that old ghost Xinghuo must have told him.”

Amidst a series of explosions and fierce energy attacks, Zhang Yu’s entire body erupted in waves of blood mist!

“Even if I haven’t unleashed the full power of the Heaven-Shattering Strike, this one strike is enough to seriously injure you!”

Wang sneered inwardly, “And the opportunity you exchanged for with such recklessness cannot possibly harm me… What?”

Almost as soon as Wang’s Heaven-Shattering Strike hit Zhang Yu, wisps of milky white mist suddenly appeared before him!

It was the Formless Cloud Force!

But how could the Formless Cloud Force bypass the Blood Shadow and appear before him?

In the next instant, a hand abruptly broke through the layers of Blood Shadow, grabbing Wang’s face!

Behind that hand was Zhang Yu’s cold gaze!

“Got you!”

Feeling the hand break through the Blood Shadow and reach for him, Wang couldn’t believe that Zhang Yu, who had been helpless against his Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover just an hour and a half ago without Bai Zhenzhen’s help, had now instantly pierced through his magical treasure!

“When?” Wang wondered in surprise: “That move of his just now can break through my Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover?”

Because Zhang Yu’s fully unleashed Formless Cloud Force concealed his techniques in the rolling mist, Wang couldn’t see its secrets!

Or rather, from the start of this battle, he hadn’t taken Zhang Yu’s attacks seriously!

But just now, as Wang executed the Heaven-Shattering Strike,

Zhang Yu used the 11th level of Nine Heavens Cloud-Piercing Force to release all eleven strikes accumulated in his energy acupoints in one go!

At the moment of striking, Starfire True Man’s words flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind again!

“For powerful palm strikes, you must use palm techniques to propel them!”

“For pulling forces, seizing techniques are more suitable!”

Conversely, if a palm strike is delivered horizontally with a dragging force, how can it unleash its maximum power?

“Your Nine Heavens Cloud-Piercing Force can accumulate your striking power, but to unleash its maximum potential, you must harmonize form and force; you must use your own energy to shape the most suitable form for the explosion of different powers!”

The experiences of the 11th level of Nine Heavens Cloud-Piercing Force bloomed in Zhang Yu’s mind. Scenes of training flashed through his mental sea!

Under the stimulation of immense pressure, the Relentless Ox Sacrifice Heart Sutra operated frantically, clearing Zhang Yu’s mind and incredibly actively commanding his body and mana, precisely controlling the details of each subsequent move!

Accompanied by the surging Formless Cloud Force, within the rolling mist, Zhang Yu’s 11 consecutive strikes transformed into 11 figures composed of Formless Cloud Force, lunging at the Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover with palms, fists, grappling, hugging… in various poses!

Starfire True Man’s earlier teachings resurfaced in Zhang Yu’s mind: “A single strike of the Nine Heavens Cloud-Piercing Force contains multiple attacks, which require mutual coordination!”

“Suppose three people attack a strongman simultaneously. Is it better for all three to use the ‘Black Tiger Digs Heart’ move, striking the strongman together?”

“Or is it better for one person to push him, one to drag his head, and one to trip his feet?”

“Multiple strikes in an instant, different moves working together, can unleash astonishing damage!”

On the battlefield of Zhang Yu and Wang!

11 energy figures erupted!

The first two energy figures, one on the left and one on the right, used the Formless Cloud Force as a carrier and exploded with Zhang Yu’s full-force palm strike using the Dragon Elephant Mountain-Collapsing Palm technique, slamming heavily into the Netherworld Blood Cover!

Seeing the Blood Shadow block to the left and right, making the Blood Shadow in the middle thinner, Zhang Yu thought, “Starfire True Man was right!”

“The one controlling the Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover is just a low-level spirit, lacking intelligence, mainly defending wherever the attack comes from!”

“And Wang, having abandoned his cultivation, struggles to control this Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover freely, so I can actively create openings in this magical treasure!”

“First, attack from both sides to draw the Blood Shadow to the left and right, then…”

The remaining energy figures attacked the center line simultaneously!

One slammed horizontally on the Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover, creating a gap!

Another used a seizing technique to preemptively cut off the Blood Shadow’s support!

Some energy figures used leverage, smashing the subsequent supporting Blood Shadow into each other!

Other energy figures shook the path ahead, creating an even bigger gap!

With 9 consecutive strikes, various techniques cooperating, it was as if 9 Zhang Yu were exerting all their strength, excavating, supporting, and carrying stones to create a narrow but firm path in front of an incomparably solid rock layer!

And as the 11 energy figures each unleashed their full-force strikes and gradually dissipated, Zhang Yu’s hand had already passed through the Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover, through the gap that had been temporarily opened, and grabbed Wang’s face!

The 12th strike.

Zhang Yu’s own full-force palm.

Wang’s head seemed to be fiercely bombarded by a heavy cannon, abruptly snapping backward!

“Impressive!”

As Wang’s head snapped back from the palm strike, a hint of admiration arose in his heart: “Knowing he can’t outlast me, knowing the longer the fight, the lower his chances of winning, so he abandons defense from the start and launches this desperate attack!”

“He even managed to open a gap in my Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover!”

Zhang Yu, even if you snarl at me, even if you want to bite me, I must say, you are truly a good dog!”

At the same time, a cold smile appeared on Wang’s lips. He had already withstood Zhang Yu’s 12th strike, bearing with the palm strike, and slowly retracted his head!

“No matter how cunning you are, you can’t break through my skin and bone!”

“This is the absolute difference in strength!”

Wang slightly clenched his other fist, about to unleash the 2nd Heaven-Shattering Strike!

With this strike, he was confident he could completely incapacitate Zhang Yu!

“It’s over…”

But in the next moment, Wang’s expression changed again!

He felt that the remaining fist force and energy from his Heaven-Shattering Strike were like a black hole, being rapidly absorbed!

The power of the Heaven-Shattering Strike followed Zhang Yu’s body, guided out of his body, and poured into the empty acupoints of the Formless Cloud Force, then…

The 13th strike, the Heaven-Shattering Strike.

This was the special effect possessed only by the 10th level of Nine Heavens Cloud-Piercing Force, the ability to absorb incoming moves, inject them into empty acupoints, and then release them again using energy as a carrier!

The amount of power that could be absorbed depended on Zhang Yu’s own cultivation!

The stronger his own cultivation, the more power he could absorb with the acupoints!

“What?”

Feeling the familiar energy blast into his body and even begin to induce turbulence in his own mana, Wang’s face was filled with disbelief!

“The Heaven-Shattering Strike? How could he know the Peerless Boxing Art?”

“No, it’s some kind of force-borrowing, even a martial art that can absorb moves!”

“To achieve this level, could it be a military-grade technique?”

With no time to think further, Wang immediately circulated his power to suppress the turbulent mana in his body!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yu had already squeezed through the gap before the Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover closed again!

Zhang Yu recalled Starfire True Man’s teachings: “The Netherworld Blood Shadow Cover has a defensive distance. It’s like a glass cover, covering Wang, not sticking to his skin, or daily movement would be affected!”

“In other words… as long as you open a gap, get inside and engage in close combat, this magical treasure can’t defend against you!”

He concluded, “You must remember, every magical treasure in this world has flaws. Only our own bodies and wills can be tempered, adapt to circumstances, and surpass all magical treasures!”

At the time, Zhang Yu, lying on the operating table, thought to himself, “Is it really not just because we’re too poor and can only rely on ourselves?”
