Mythical Three Kingdoms

”These guys really overestimate themselves!” Zhang Fei flashed and appeared in front of the immortals he had thrown away, then executed a sweeping slash, directly cutting those immortals in half.

After several encounters, Zhang Fei had already noticed that this group’s vitality was astonishingly formidable. Some of them could survive fatal attacks, reappearing in white smoke.

However, no matter how formidable their survival ability, it was all a joke to Zhang Fei. No matter how strange their appearances were, Zhang Fei didn’t feel the slightest fear.

If he couldn’t kill them once, he would strike again. If they still didn’t die, he would smash them into dust. In this world, there were no undying beings, only adversaries that couldn’t be beaten, like Lyu Bu. Zhang Fei firmly believed in this!

”Hmph, only one left now.” Zhang Fei mused aloud as he looked at the sky.

In the empty sky, under Zhang Fei’s intense gaze, his Evil Qi forcibly squeezed out a black-robed Taoist from the void. Zhang Fei had already learned to control his Evil Qi.

”Worthy of Zhang Yide.” The black-robed Taoist was not particularly surprised after being forced out by Zhang Fei, merely gazing calmly at him.

”Who are you?” Zhang Fei asked, wary as he looked at the black-robed Taoist, sensing the pressure emanating subtly from him, indicating that this opponent was not weaker than himself.

”No need to concern yourself with who I am.” The black-robed Taoist waved his hand slightly, and those previously slain by Zhang Fei transformed into smoke and returned to the Taoist’s body, a scene that made Zhang Fei extremely cautious.

”Even Zhang Yide can feel fear?” The Taoist said with a smile.

”Afraid?” Zhang Fei sneered, then with a loud shout, charged toward the opponent like lightning.

Launching a punch, with tremendous force, one could almost see with the naked eye how Zhang Fei’s punch twisted the air into a funnel shape, at the center of which was Zhang Fei’s distinctly marked fist imprint.

”Bang!” The Taoist nonchalantly flicked his sleeve, deflecting Zhang Fei’s powerful punch, which then struck the lake, creating a large depression that exploded violently.

”Let me see how vicious you really are!” Zhang Fei laughed boisterously, then moved close to the Taoist, swinging his fists directly toward the Taoist’s chest and abdomen. Such provocation made Zhang Fei unwilling to hold back, right or wrong, he would strike first!

Moreover, Zhang Fei knew very well that this opponent was definitely no good person, killing him would be doing a public service!

This time, the black-robed Taoist sidestepped the attack, then slipped away tens of meters away. The earlier deflection made him understand that Zhang Fei’s brute strength could not be directly resisted.

”Hahaha, let me see how strong you are too!” Zhang Fei stomped fiercely in mid-air, no longer relying on the Inner Qi Manifestation technique to fly, instead shattering the Inner Qi beneath his feet to boost an astonishing speed, appearing next to the Taoist in an instant.

A heavy kick directly struck the Taoist’s waist, producing a crunching sound as the opponent was bent into an unnatural angle, and then Zhang Fei disappeared, reappearing behind the opponent and delivering an even more powerful punch, instantly blasting the black-robed Taoist into a mist of blood.

”Trash!” Zhang Fei mocked coldly, looking at the debris on the ground, kicking at it a couple of times before striding away.

This was the technique Zhang Fei had honed after losing to Lyu Bu and arriving in Xuzhou, meant to counter Lyu Bu’s moves, although Lyu Bu himself hadn’t experienced it.

As long as one was human, there was a limit to physical quality, but Zhang Fei had used a certain method to finely strengthen every single muscle, even enhancing them on a more micro level.

Although in essence, Zhang Fei’s body was similar to that of a regular Inner Qi Manifestation General, when Zhang Fei activated this secret technique, each muscle in his body would naturally create a protective barrier.

In other words, at this moment, Zhang Fei’s resilience had far exceeded human limits.

Of course, this approach consumed a tremendous amount of Qi, but undeniably, when Zhang Fei activated this technique, it was as if Dian Wei suddenly had Inner Qi flowing through him, combining formidable physical quality with Qi to truly be able to brawl with King Xiang.

This realization was part of why Zhang Fei dared to provoke his opponent when he sensed that their strength was nearly greater than his. Whether their undying avatars or the main body that pressured him more than his own strength, both warned Zhang Fei that if he didn’t end the battle quickly, he’d be in trouble.

That’s why the second Zhang Fei leaped, he enveloped each muscle with Qi, activating his earliest power-enhancement secret technique.

Without waiting for a response, he unleashed his full combat power, combining unimaginable force with the near-speed of Dian Wei at war and the Qi of Inner Qi Manifestation, merging the three to annihilate the opponent with two punches.

”Indeed, merely wrapping muscles and bones with Qi doesn’t ensure releasing all power without causing injury.” Zhang Fei pondered, squeezing his arm that had blown away his opponent. Many muscles were torn, and although for an Inner Qi Manifestation General this didn’t count as an injury, healing quickly, these issues pointed out that sustaining such power wasn’t feasible.

”Unlike Dian Wei’s approach that infused Qi into every part of his body, conducting a fundamental, micro-level enhancement, this temporary reinforcement had a huge gap. Even if it could unleash Qi after bodily strength was elevated, battling anyone during that time wouldn’t hold water against true experts...”

Zhang Fei thought silently, renowned for his seemingly rough yet meticulous nature. In his view, a Taoist blasted away by a single punch wasn’t a master. His strength might compare to Zhang Fei’s, but lacking combat experience and awareness, he’d fare okay against ordinary foes, but on par, numbers would be his only advantage, one-on-one, he’d certainly lose.

”Sigh, gradual improvement is necessary. To physically enhance like Dian Wei, full infusion of Qi might not suffice, but this secret technique is far from achieving it. If I had Dian Wei’s physical strength and my Qi, homes would have been flattened with a single long-range punch.” Zhang Fei deeply admired the stone-like muscles that Dian Wei had, even without any Qi output, yet adding Qi would render him unrivaled.

Despite this, Zhang Fei acknowledged the terrifying capability of King Xiang back then, the ultimate hard power hailed as the world’s invincible, even if limited by the Heart Spirit to only unleash ten percent of potential, he was more than sufficient to overpower all as a Superior Military General.

”How about only strengthening the two arms?” Zhang Fei mused over Dian Wei’s cultivation method, suddenly sparking a bizarre thought that maybe training physical quality didn’t require full body conditioning...(To be continued.
