Chapter 451: Chapter 416: Contemporary Ninth Rank

"You can call me Dragon King."

"I’m here to kill you."

The first sentence made Wu Li laugh, while the second left him unable to smile.

It was obvious that the other party had come specifically for him, and must have known about his strength. To still proclaim his intent to kill him under such circumstances meant the person was either delusional to an extreme or genuinely powerful, confident enough to defeat him.

Clearly, the ’Dragon King’ fell into the latter category:

[Three Emperors Cannon Fist (Grandmaster Level), Tai Chi Fist (Master Level), Xingyi Fist (Master Level), Bagua Palm (Master Level)...]

[Overall Score: Beyond the scope of detection]

This was the information detected by the system.

Grandmaster Level!

Wu Li narrowed his eyes. After so many experiences and encounters with numerous experts, he finally met a true Grandmaster Level master today!

There was a time when Wu Li thought grandmasters might have become extinct in this era, especially since even the mightiest member of the Hongmen, which claimed to be ’The World’s Number One Gang,’ hadn’t reached the Grandmaster Level.

But now, this ’Dragon King’ made Wu Li realize that with seven billion people in the world, one should never underestimate the heroes of the world.

Using the streetlight to his advantage, Wu Li calmly sized up his opponent: nearly 1.8 meters tall, indeterminable age, a buzz cut, yellow skin, an ordinary face, but his eyes were the distinct feature; they were sky-blue, deep and profound, as if containing an unfathomable ocean.

Swoosh!

The opponent suddenly moved, arms arched, front foot channeling power, back foot pushing off, delivering a punch forward.

With that release of power, the rainwater on his body exploded, momentarily forming a spherical bubble, indicating the opponent’s power was well-rounded, his whole-body release was perfected without leaks!

The bubble appeared only for an instant before a tremendous recoil force traveled from the legs to the waist, from the waist to the hips, from the hips to the arms, then from the arms to the elbows, and from the elbows to the hands, muscle and bone thundering at every joint, like a cannon! Like thunder!

The classic opening move of the Three Emperor Cannon Hammer, the Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands!

In the blink of an eye, the opponent had rushed up to Wu Li, their fists held in a punching grip aiming directly at him. Even before the fists arrived, the Innate Gang Qi formed by muscles and tendons vibrated together with the swinging of the arms. The rainwater on the body was fiercely flung off, like dense arrows, all shooting towards Wu Li!

Before the move began, he was one with the wind and rain, but once he moved, he came like a Dragon King, enveloping the skies and seas!

Wu Li’s expression turned solemn. He had gathered all his spirit, power, and energy and stepped forward forcefully, his right arm striking out from the lower abdomen.

Horse Form Cannon!

Likewise, vibrating muscles and bones all over his body, utilizing Innate Gang Qi. A punch struck out, dispersing the incoming raindrops, and then Wu Li’s fist collided with the opponent’s bowed hands.

Boom!

Water exploded from the point of contact between the two men. Wu Li stepped back half a step, his right arm feeling slightly numb, while the opponent did not retreat at all, still sending forward the same ’Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands’.

However, this punch’s intent and momentum differed from before. The previous punch carried the presence of the Dragon King traveling amidst a powerful storm. Yet this punch conveyed a sense of man’s defiance of heaven, a will to rebel against the natural order.

Three Emperors Cannon Fist, also known as ’Human Sect,’ revered the Human Emperor Xuanyuan as its founder. The opponent’s punch made Wu Li feel as if he had witnessed the grandeur of ancient times when the Human Emperor emerged, leading the Human Clan to victory over heaven and earth!

Wu Li fell back another half step, his hands quickly forming seals in front of his lower abdomen, fleeting as they were, then both fists struck out, his spine rotating, combining the Sumeru Seal with the Double Dragon Form to squarely meet the opponent’s punch.

Bang!

This time, since Wu Li used the Sumeru Seal, he overpowered the opponent in terms of strength, forcing the opponent back half a step.

Seizing the advantage with his strike, Wu Li immediately counterattacked, his hands forming seals once more. Then his legs twisted hard on the ground like drilling spirals, creating two spiral ripples in the pooled water. He used the moment to propel his right arm, pushing out with his palm.

Reverse Sumeru!

This move was not as fast as the Heavenly Punishment, and being so straightforward, it was actually quite easy to dodge. But Wu Li used it nonetheless; he did not seek to injure the opponent but aimed to surpass him in momentum, to take the initiative.

Facing the extremely vigorous Reverse Sumeru, the opponent was forced to retreat half a step, slightly widening the gap, but he didn’t choose to dodge. Instead, he exhaled sharply, once again clasping his hands in a punch, thrusting forward, still the ’Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands’!

Wu Li keenly sensed a change in the opponent’s blood and qi in that instant, converging rapidly towards a certain point in the soles of his feet.

Obviously, the opponent used a method of stimulating blood and qi similar to the Sumeru Seal invented by Wu Li, except the opponent didn’t need to assist with hand seals, able to quickly direct the flow of blood and qi.

Boom!

When fist collided with palm, Wu Li felt like the opponent was connected to the earth in that moment, embracing a conception that was profound and grand.

Whoosh!

Water exploded beneath the opponent’s feet, shooting up into a massive spray.

At the moment of impact, the opponent’s feet released power, channeling much of Wu Li’s Reverse Sumeru strength into the ground, a clever method of neutralizing force that allowed him not to back down in front of Wu Li’s attack!

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, you indeed did not disappoint me!" the opponent suddenly laughed out loud.

"What a Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands!" Wu Li also praised.

In reality, "Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands" didn’t literally mean bowing three times. The "three" symbolized the unification and harmony of one’s own god, spirit, and body, as well as the unification of the three talents of heaven, earth, and man.
