Infinite Fighting

Chapter 61: Chapter 55: Leaving No Way Out

"Can he win?" Lin Kang asked.

That was the only question he cared about.

"The opponent seems a bit unusual, but from what we can see, ’Zhenxian’ still has the upper hand..." the scientist replied, looking slightly awkward.

...

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Fists, palms, and legs collided in a rapid flurry. It had been a long time since Zhang Ji had met such an evenly matched opponent.

His opponent’s reaction speed and strength were nearly identical to his own. Even in terms of technique, the man could rival him by relying on his armor.

A large, empty space had formed around the two fighters. No one dared to get close.

Anyone who lacked the necessary strength couldn’t even withstand the aftershocks of their battle.

SHING! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Zhang Ji, in his Wild Leopard Stance, swiped with his claws. The attack only left a few half-inch-deep gashes on the armor. The hardness and thickness of this pitch-black armor were greater than he had expected.

He had already mastered the Five Elements style, and this Wild Leopard Claw, which combined all five elements into one, was more than twice as strong as his previous attempts.

WHUMMM! TWANG!

Zhang Ji shifted into his Fierce Tiger Stance. His muscles bulged as he unleashed a strike combining Iron Body Triple Wave and Dragon Fist Whole Force, finally knocking Xiong Mingxu back.

’He’s strong,’ Zhang Ji thought, secretly stunned by his opponent’s power.

Across from Zhang Ji, however, Xiong Mingxu was even more shocked.

Before he arrived, he had already tested the strength of his armor.

Even if the other three Grandmasters of the Xian Mountain Sect joined forces, he could take them down one by one. They couldn’t break through his defenses, nor could they block his attacks.

’But Zhang Ji can actually fight me to a standstill?’

In fact, from a certain perspective, Zhang Ji even had the advantage.

After all, Zhang Ji had landed several hits on him. Without this suit of armor, he would have died several times over. Meanwhile, not a single one of his own attacks had truly landed on Zhang Ji.

’How is this possible?’

He still remembered their first meeting. Back then, Zhang Ji was only around the professional Sixth Rank. In such a short time, he had actually grown this powerful.

Li Long’s talent was already inhuman, yet this young man before him was somehow even stronger!!

’The makings of a true Terrestrial Immortal!!!’

’Why wasn’t he born into the Xian Mountain Sect?’

’If he were part of the Xian Mountain Sect, we would have poured all our resources into cultivating him into a new Terrestrial Immortal for this era!!’

A pity...

"A pity!"

This time, it was Zhang Ji who said it.

The power gained from such external forces was ultimately too shallow.

Zhang Ji would absolutely never follow this "scientific" path of combat.

The only reason to pilot a mecha is if you can’t become a human mecha yourself.

But he could. And he could even surpass it!!

CRACK! CREAK! CRACK!

Inside Zhang Ji’s body, his bones and sinews creaked as his muscles bulged. Yuan Qi flowed between his fingers, claws, and palms.

WHUMMM! WHUMMM! WHUMMM...

Each hum signified another layer of the Overlapping Waves.

With his current Control Power and physical strength, he could already achieve eight layers of Overlapping Waves.

It might have only been two more layers than before, but the explosive power was more than six times greater.

Xiong Mingxu sensed that something was wrong and immediately attacked again.

BOOM!

A majestic surge of Yuan Qi burst forth, and scorching light pulsed around his body. The intense heat generated by this strike was already igniting nearby objects.

The Xian Mountain Sect was on the same level as the Five Elements Sect; tracing back through their history, their Sect had also produced a Terrestrial Immortal.

Their Sect’s Flaming Sun Melting Iron Heart Skill was a Yuan Qi martial art capable of cultivating a Terrestrial Immortal. At the highest level of mastery, the user’s Yuan Qi could truly reach temperatures hot enough to melt gold and iron.

Unfortunately, this technique was supremely yang and rigid. Cultivating it required vast quantities of extremely cold medicinal herbs to suppress the damage the Yuan Qi inflicted on the body. Otherwise, practitioners would develop a host of illnesses. Moreover, it had incredibly high requirements for natural talent.

These various hurdles were why they no longer had a Terrestrial Immortal in the modern era.

Nevertheless, Xiong Mingxu had still reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.

His talent wasn’t poor; he just wasn’t a monster on the level of Li Long!

WHUMMM!

RUMBLE!

A thunderous crash echoed out. The ground beneath Xiong Mingxu cracked and collapsed, spiderweb-like fissures spreading outwards.

Before he could even process it, Zhang Ji was already upon him with the next Overlapping Wave. Xiong Mingxu could only muster his Yuan Qi again to block it head-on.

WHUMMM!

RUMMMBLE!

WHUMMM!

WHUMMM!

Xiong Mingxu’s entire body trembled violently, and his ears rang. He felt as if his Qi and Blood were about to erupt from within him. The armor had absorbed much of the force, but he had still borne a portion of it.

At this moment, the armor on his right arm had already deformed, and the flesh and bone within had been crushed.

And then, Zhang Ji’s next attack arrived.

WHUMMM!

Fierce Tiger Stance, Eight-Layered Overlapping Waves, Spiritual Crane Whole Force, Leopard Pounce Palm!

Azure Yuan Qi flickered in Zhang Ji’s palm. He took a step forward, and the training shoes that were already damaged from the fight were instantly torn apart. The ground beneath his foot collapsed from the force of his push-off. Power surged up from his sole, traveled through his "dragon spine," and shot into his right arm. Finally, Zhang Ji slammed his palm into Xiong Mingxu’s chest.

BOOM!

BANG!

Xiong Mingxu was blasted away like a cannonball. Five bloody holes appeared on his thick armor. He finally slammed into a building dozens of meters away, shattering the concrete exterior wall. A clear, sunken Palm Seal was now imprinted on his chest.

His body pitched forward and fell straight to the ground.

THUD!

As dust filled the air, Xiong Mingxu gazed into the distance, his vision blurring. ’Zhang Ji won,’ he thought, ’but he’s also utterly lost. The threat he represents is too great—so great that we can never allow him to live...’

Meanwhile, after defeating Xiong Mingxu, Zhang Ji immediately rushed toward Elders Wang Quan and Liu Shan, who were trapped in a bitter struggle.

The two of them were fighting three Grandmasters, all while being harassed by numerous gunmen from the sidelines. They had been forced into a completely disadvantageous position.
