Chapter 1345 - 1344: Tang Family Military Boxing
As for the name Tang Family Boxing, to be honest, Tang Rao came up with it temporarily.In Tang Rao's view, the moves of the punch are ordinary to the extreme, just a modified version of military boxing, along with Tang Rao's external release of inner strength, merging body and mind into one.
Don't be fooled by Tang Rao's unconventional movements; whenever Zhang Xiong tried to attack Tang Rao, he could easily evade and defeat his opponent in one move, much to his satisfaction, almost moving Tang Rao to tears.
"Do you want to try even more impressive moves with your Grandpa Tang?"
Tang Rao clapped his hands. The jade on his finger remained gentle and calming, soothing his restless heart.
Could this be the mental realm of a strong person?
First experiencing the mental realm amidst magic fire, then again while fighting against a strong opponent, Tang Rao faintly felt on the brink of a breakthrough.
It was like he was irresistibly full, with the sensation of something choking up his throat, uncomfortable yet curious. Tang Rao longed to experience it again but was reluctant to keep doing so.
"Tang Rao, don't be so arrogant. If my Zhang Family were as weak as you imagine, they would have been defeated long ago."
Zhang Xiong's confidence in his Zhang Family was unwavering.
"Let me see how powerful your Zhang Family truly is."
Tang Rao was still adjusting to Tang Family Military Boxing, wanting to integrate new moves into it. Yet he worried about being too flashy and embarrassing Zhang Xiong, which might cause Zhang Yishan to hold a grudge.
Afraid of offending both sides, Tang Rao remembered Zhang Xiong was Zhang Yishan's father. Would Zhang Yishan care if Tang Rao attacked Zhang Xiong?
"Yishan, if I were to kill your unlucky father now, would you cause me any trouble?"
The invincible Thunder Fireball was already formed in Tang Rao's hand. Once ignited, it wrapped the opponent, difficult to shake off.
Moreover, by utilizing the powerful soul's strength, killing Zhang Xiong seemed effortlessly easy.
"I resent him more than anything; how could I feel sympathy for him or bother you?"
That's when Tang Rao noticed the change in Zhang Yishan's eyes toward Zhang Xiong—fists clenched, blood at the mouth, glaring fiercely, as if eager to kill Zhang Xiong.
"Hey, brother, he's your father; shouldn't you think twice?"
Could Zhang Yishan be possessed by some foul spirit, leading him to lose reason and wish for Tang Rao to kill Zhang Xiong?
Regardless, Tang Rao had recorded everything with an Image Stone. If Zhang Yishan later regretted, Tang Rao could show him the recordings, ensuring Zhang Yishan didn't have grounds to complain.
Tang Rao hurled an enhanced Thunder Fireball at Zhang Xiong and Zhang Wei.
Within the fireball were numerous skills and abundant energy. If aimed well, though perhaps not deadly for both, it surely would kill at least one, right?
With this mindset, as the fireball was released, Tang Rao was reassured.
He pulled Zhang Yishan and Zhang Wang to take cover from afar. After the explosion, the world around seemed to fall silent.
Boom, boom-boom.
Buildings crumbled; everywhere the fireball touched was instantly leveled.
"You still survive this?"
At least half an hour after the explosion, Zhang Wei crawled out of the rubble, hair and nose filled with earth, atop which he nearly needed a wooden sign with his name.
"Cough, cough!"
Indeed, still alive!
Zhang Wei's strength surpassed Zhang Xiong; he emerged first, with Zhang Xiong following closely.
Such a large fireball merely startled them, causing at most superficial injuries, unsettling Tang Rao.
"Nothing wrong? Not even a scratch? That's hardly scientific."
For one person to be unharmed is conceivable, but for two, Tang Rao suspected an error in his power.
"A mere fireball to kill me? Do you think beings of the Divine Realm are so frail?"
Zhang Xiong let out a hearty laugh.
His laughter was undoubtedly a complete mockery of Tang Rao.
"Zhang Family people may be hard to be born, but are even harder to die. It's both a punishment and a blessing from Heavenly Dao for our Zhang Family."
Was this Zhang Xiong's basis for arrogance?
"Is there truly a notion of being hard to die?"
Tang Rao felt like crying; no, he nearly cried for real. The Thunder Fireball had already drained him mentally and physically; another round or two, and Tang Rao feared he would lose control.
Even in three months of rolling with his wives, he wouldn't deplete himself this thoroughly.
"Indeed, we possess such resilience, though not absolute. Hit the vital point for everyone in our Zhang Family, and it's easy to claim our lives."
Was Zhang Yishan not truly Zhang Xiong's son?
In Tang Rao's heart, yet another question arose.
If truly his son, he wouldn't have revealed how to make Zhang Xiong die.
"Hit the vital point, and hearing your tone, each person's vital point varies. How do I know your father or uncle's vital point?"
Faced with finding the vital point versus his fatigued state, the jade emitted a red warning beep.
Misfortune upon misfortune, was the powerful soul's promise of prolonged endurance, maybe lasting a day, reliable?
How about the duration of an incense stick?
Tang Rao sensed his body's exhaustion and mind's fogginess; if it continued, fainting was inevitable. At home, someone might retrieve him, but in public... a demon beast could devour his bones, and no one would care.
"Tang Rao, retreat! Something's wrong with the soul jade; I can't determine what just yet."
Fuck!
Initially, Tang Rao thought he'd keep fighting, but he abruptly summoned the Purple Crystal Beast and sprinted away.
Why not seek the Nine-Ding Snowfore Beast?
In normal times, it was indeed fast enough, but now, the Purple Crystal Beast offered superior survival assurance.
With the Purple Crystal Beast leading the charge, the Zhang Family Master assumed Tang Rao was near collapse and pursued victoriously, but Tang Rao's purple crystal beast speed was too swift. Catching up with such an ancient divine beast? Impossible.
"Tang Rao, I'll destroy your Kao Shan Sect and Kao Shan Shop!"
After chasing a distance, anger caused the Zhang Family Master to cough up blood, unable to stand alone afterward.
It was merely his well-intentioned servants, concerned about wages, who carried the Zhang Family Master back to preserve his life.
A person like that might as well be dead; their sole value while alive was the money they could provide.
"Is the Zhang Family Master alright?"
The Zhang Family's housekeeper fed him all life-preserving elixir pills in one go, plus retrieved some higher-quality pills from the Zhang Family Master's person for supplement; only after a day and night did the Zhang Family Master react.
"To the Housekeeper, the Zhang Family Master has awakened but currently can't speak or eat, what do you think...?"
The housekeeper entered, glanced at the Zhang Family Master, a pondering look in his eyes.
"The Zhang Family Master might never awaken, nor speak again forever."
Never speak again, and never awaken for life?
