Chapter 308: [145] Strength 11.89! Defeat the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader in 3 moves_2
"You’ve suffered, it’s my fault for being late." Luo Gang gently touched Wu Yixiong’s hair with a trace of regret.
He treated this eldest disciple as his own son, valuing him no less than Luo Qianqian.
When he lifted his head to look at Tuo Gu Yuanzhi, his eyes burned with greater fury.
"Luo Gang, watch out!"
At that moment, Lin Zhengzong’s exclamation rang out beside him.
A flash of confusion crossed Luo Gang’s eyes, he was puzzled, and before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.
Looking down, it turned out that his good disciple, godson Wu Yixiong, had pulled out a small knife from who knows where and stabbed it fiercely into his buttocks.
"Master, I’m sorry, I had no other choice," Wu Yixiong said, his eyes avoiding Luo Gang’s gaze.
"Betrayer! You beast!" Luo Gang roared with anger, slapping Wu Yixiong across the face.
Wu Yixiong was instantly flung back, tumbling over ten meters before stopping against a column.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, shouting in agony, "They forced me. If I didn’t follow their orders, they’d arrange for a hundred Black men to gang up on Qianqian. I must protect Qianqian, Master!"
Lin Zhengzong supported Luo Gang: "Are you okay?"
"That beast has broken my weakness, my ’Arhat Sitting and Lying Scripture’ is useless for the time being." Luo Gang said with a gloomy face.
Unlike masters like Wang Longhu and Lin Zhengzong, who reached Huajin Grandmaster through their own abilities, Luo Gang relied on the Inner Power of the ’Arhat Sitting and Lying Scripture’ to step into the threshold of Huajin Grandmaster.
Overseas, 99% of Huajin Grandmasters achieved Huajin through various Inner Powers.
The routes of self-cultivation and cultivating Inner Power each have their pros and cons, it’s hard to say which is better or worse.
The advantage of self-cultivation is that all body meridians are cleared; once Huajin is achieved, the body is without leaks, with few flaws.
The downside is the time it takes, often 40 to 50 years, and it heavily depends on talent, with a very low probability of producing Huajin Grandmasters.
The advantage of Inner Power cultivation is that only specific meridians need clearing, achieving Huajin in 10 to 20 years, it’s efficient and has a high success rate.
The downside is that Huajin through Inner Power lacks the full clearance of body meridians, leaving the body with a ’weak spot’.
This weak spot is the biggest flaw; once broken, one’s Inner Strength rapidly leaks, reducing power from its peak.
Therefore, overseas Huajin Grandmasters keep their weak spots a secret, hidden even from their own sons and wives.
But Luo Gang was not an overseas master; he went abroad for business, carrying with him some old fatherly whims of pampering his son.
Years ago, while drunk, he secretly revealed his weak spot to Wu Yixiong.
Unexpectedly, today, this godson used that trust to break Luo Gang’s weak spot.
How could he face Tuo Gu Yuanzhi and the group of Huajin Grandmasters now?
Hearing Luo Gang’s reply, Lin Zhengzong’s expression turned even more worried.
Now there’s hardly any hope of rescue, and instead, both he and Luo Gang, two Huajin Grandmasters, might end up lost.
"Go, capture them!" Seeing Luo Gang’s weak spot broken, Tuo Gu Yuanzhi smiled with satisfaction, immediately waving his hand as the Heaven Guardians behind him surged forward, surrounding Lin Zhengzong and Luo Gang.
Lin Zhengzong assumed a Mantis Fist stance, attacking rather than defending, proactively striking at one person with a punch.
Seeing Lin Zhengzong defying resistance in such a situation, disdain crept onto the face of his opponent, who grabbed Lin Zhengzong’s wrist and swung backhandedly at Lin Zhengzong’s face.
Little did he know, the core of the Mantis Fist lies in close-range controlled counterattack.
Lin Zhengzong dismantled the grip with his arm, pressing the attacker’s hand away, and unleashed a fierce strike to the face.
Bam!
A Huajin Grandmaster’s strike carries the force of three to four horses, the Heaven Guardian’s facial bones shattered instantly, even his eyeball burst on the spot, collapsing uncontrollably to his knees.
Only because he used Inner Strength to protect his head, otherwise Lin Zhengzong’s blow would have turned his brain to pulp.
"Hoo!" Lin Zhengzong took a deep breath, turned, and deflected an attack from a Heaven Guardian targeting his waist with an arm swing interception.
The opponent was ranked 91st in the world, the Taekwondo master Park Duanmin from Korea, with limbs as hard as steel.
Seven or eight years ago, Park Duanmin held a live-stream challenge in his country.
That challenge was to chop a wild boar with his palm, the Eurasian boar being 2.21 meters long, with a shoulder height of 1.45 meters and weighing 420 kilograms.
Its surface not only had thick fur but also a fat layer over ten centimeters thick.
To speak plainly, even a clip of bullets couldn’t necessarily bring that wild boar down.
But with merely a casual hand chop, Park Duanmin killed the boar on the spot.
On-site professional butchers dissected it, revealing the boar’s surface intact.
However, its spinal bones and internal organs were completely shattered inside.
In other words, the boar died not from external wounds, but from internal injuries.
This live demonstration was testament to Park Duanmin’s powerful Inner Strength.
Lin Zhengzong glanced at Park Duanmin, not daring to be careless, appearing to engage with upper body moves while suddenly swinging a leg for a hooking kick.
