Xuan Hao Hongye immediately unleashed a powerful attack, launching a fierce assault on Shen Zhao.
"Break the jade and divide the gold!"
Shen Zhao was as steady as Mount Tai, his dantian and dantian forming their own world, directly focusing his fingers to meet Xuan Hao's grand undertaking.
Their fingers touched, and heaven and earth resonated within them. The two men each stepped back several paces.
Seeing the situation, Shen Zhao once again focused his fingers and made a move, intending to break through the entire area with a single point.
but……
Xuan Hao Hongye had anticipated this, and he dodged all the paths of the finger strikes, instantly closing in and throwing a punch at Shen Zhao.
Caught off guard, Shen Zhao was struck hard in the chest. Despite coughing up blood, he forced himself to raise his hand and deliver another "Turning Clouds and Overturning Rain" palm strike.
However, Xuan Hao Hongye anticipated the path of Shen Zhao's move the instant he made his move, dodging Shen Zhao's attack once again and sending him flying back with a powerful kick.
Immediately, a barrage of deadly attacks followed.
"Eight Desolations Technique: Spring Thunder Resounds Across the Heavens and Rivers".
"Eight Desolations Technique - Spiritual Might Serves Liangshan".
"Eight Desolations Technique: The Great River is Like a Dry Dryup".
Shen Zhao was caught off guard and could only barely manage to defend himself.
However, the Xiongnu king's killing moves were swift and unrestrained, and with the support of the Heaven-Shaking Hand Mandala Formation, each move shook the heavens and earth, striking Shen Zhao's body with all of them. Instantly, dust filled the sky and smoke billowed everywhere.
"Pfft~"
The three attacks were too much for Shen Zhao to handle. He was then struck by Xuan Hao Hongye's punch, which broke through his defenses. He was knocked back more than ten steps, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and knelt on one knee to dissipate the remaining force in his body.
Song Yanran, standing behind her, was filled with disbelief upon seeing this scene.
Concerned for Shen Zhao's safety, she was about to take action when Shen Zhao raised his hand to stop her.
"You seem to be very familiar with my martial arts techniques?"
Faced with Shen Zhao's question, Xuan Hao Hongye crossed his arms, adopting an arrogant and disdainful attitude.
"That's right, someone has told me everything about the characteristics of the martial arts techniques you've learned in your life."
To be honest, without the blessing of the mandala array, I wouldn't have been able to break through all your attacks so easily.
"Impossible!" Shen Zhao exclaimed in disbelief. "Even if you knew the characteristics of my technique, it would be impossible for you to master it so thoroughly in such a short time."
"You're right, to completely decipher your complex techniques and moves..."
Even the most talented person needs at least thirty years, but I, the Lone King, only need to grasp the energy recovery characteristic of your technique.
That way, I can easily suppress you with the right treatment. You didn't expect that, did you?
"Could I, the King, have so easily crippled your cultivation techniques and internal energy circulation methods, leaving you utterly defenseless?"
Shen Zhao frowned: "The Xiongnu King is indeed the most talented king in the Xiongnu Kingdom in nearly a thousand years. However, you have overlooked the most important point."
"What?"
"You can counter my techniques and moves, but..."
Shen Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The next moment, he slowly stood up, his eyes becoming more serious than ever before, making Xuan Hao Hongye feel a slight unease.
"But I can't control myself, Shen Zhao! I'm not acting anymore, let's send you on your way."
