Chapter 24 Zhu Ganglie VS Tang Chi
Tang Chi laughed, "You're trying to fight me to the death at that speed? Should I call you naive, or just plain stupid?"
Tang Chi casually stepped aside as the rake brushed past him, not harming him in the slightest!
Tang Chi laughed even more joyously, "Alright, dead pig, the game's over!"
Just then, Tang Chi noticed that Zhu Ganglie was not showing any fear; instead, there was a mocking look on his face.
Tang Chi had a bad feeling…
Puff!
Tang Chi looked down and saw the nine-pronged rake actually spinning back and stabbing heavily into Zhu Ganglie's stomach.
Tang Chi was stunned, "Is this… suicide? Haha… Is this your last act of defiance?"
Zhu Ganglie didn't speak but slowly raised his head and sneered, "Your move… it's not unbreakable."
"What do you mean?" Tang Chi was taken aback.
Almost simultaneously, Zhu Ganglie roared, "Heavenly River Descend!"
Boom!
A prong of the nine-pronged rake emitted a brilliant divine light, while a furious torrent of water erupted and surged into Zhu Ganglie's body, pouring directly into his right arm!
In an instant, Zhu Ganglie's right arm swelled, and as his power surged, he clenched his fist fiercely!
"That speed… something's not right!"
Tang Chi realized that Zhu Ganglie seemed to have broken his limits, but it was too late!
The two were too close!
Zhu Ganglie threw a punch into Tang Chi's stomach, and with a 'wah', Tang Chi's face contorted as he spat out a mouthful of blood!
"Die!" Zhu Ganglie roared, launching another punch skyward!
Tang Chi was blasted into the sky, looking at Zhu Ganglie in disbelief, "Impossible! How could you possibly break my limit?"
Gulping for air, Zhu Ganglie snorted coldly, "Idiot native, you wouldn't understand my advanced technique even if I explained!"
Heavenly River Water poured into Zhu Ganglie's legs, and with a powerful stomp, he rocketed into the sky, spreading his arms wide as Heavenly River Water filled him, his fists as big as meteors swinging round to strike Tang Chi!
Boom!
His fists, one to the left, the other to the right, struck like colliding meteors!
In his scream of agony, Tang Chi's bones emitted a crisp cracking sound, blood flowing from his seven orifices, but he was still not dead!
Tang Chi was constantly trying to deploy his Divine Skills, but Zhu Ganglie was completely unaffected and kept pummeling him mercilessly with his fists!
Tang Chi's bones broke one by one, screaming in agony.
It was at this point that Tang Chi's weakness became evident—his Divine Skills were formidable, but his physical prowess was as feeble as an infant's in front of Zhu Ganglie!
The most crucial part was that it seemed he did not have any magical treasures and completely relied on his physical body to endure.
"Double Heavenly River!" Zhu Ganglie bellowed. Two prongs of the nine-pronged rake emitted a yellow light, with two streams of Heavenly River Water entering his body simultaneously...
Zhu Ganglie, too, appeared to be enduring great pain. His eyeballs were bloodshot, his face hideously fierce yet ferociously, he raised his fist, "Die coming!"
Tang Chi, sensing that terrifying strike, knew he had to do something— if he couldn't dodge, he was most likely to die!
But what could he use to block?
Though their power was similar, his strength lay in his Divine Skills…
Death approached!
The fist grew ever closer!
Just then, Zhu Ganglie rolled his eyes and cursed, "Damn... can't hold on..."
Having said that, he opened his mouth wide and let out a big spit, drenching Tang Chi thoroughly from head to toe!
Then Zhu Ganglie fell backward as he faced the sky...
At the same time, his nine-tooth rake also fell down.
Looking at the Heavenly River Water on the nine-tooth rake, and then at Zhu Ganglie, who was drenched in Heavenly River Water like a leaky water balloon.
"It wasn't you moving just now, but the rushing Heavenly River Water! The water flowing inside you motivated your body to fight… No wonder, no wonder my Divine Skills were useless against you. Because from the beginning, my target was wrong!" Tang Chi suddenly realized, he finally knew why this pig was immune to his slowing Divine Skills.
For the first time, Tang Chi withdrew his pride, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and chuckled lightly, "Well... you are Zhu Ganglie, right?"
Zhu Ganglie lay on the ground, rolling his eyes, "Pretty boy, I advise you to run fast… soon I fear you won't even know how you died."
Tang Chi shook his head, "Now that I know your secret, the same moves won't work on me anymore. You… have turned the tables!"
Zhu Ganglie chuckled darkly, "Really?"
Almost simultaneously, a huge figure appeared behind Tang Chi, covering the daylight!
Then, Zhu Ganglie in front of Tang Chi burst into a puddle with a plop, the water still trickling out a line of words: Substitute Technique, haven't seen it before?
Feeling something was wrong, Tang Chi hastily turned around, "Slow down!"
However, it was too late. Behind him, an enormous, completely black wild boar stood above the firmament, swinging the nine-tooth rake wrapped with endless Heavenly River Water as it crashed down!
The slowdown hadn't reached, and the rake had already heavily smashed onto Tang Chi's head!
Tang Chi's eyes dimmed, "Did I still lose?"
Just then, a yellow talisman appeared out of nowhere.
Bang!
The nine-tooth rake and the Heavenly River Water were all blown away!
"What?"
Zhu Ganglie looked incredulously at the yellow talisman in front of him.
Tang Chi bowed deeply to the talisman, "Thank you, teacher, for your help. Your student will not make the mistake of underestimating his opponent again."
After taking back the yellow talisman, Tang Chi looked up at Zhu Ganglie, "Zhu Ganglie, you are very strong, even forcing the Protective Spirit Talisman bestowed by the Saint. But now, it all comes to an end..."
Zhu Ganglie gasped heavily, "Sissy, stop talking nonsense. In my life, only one person has ever threatened me, and you are not worthy! If it's a fight you want, I'm up for it!"
Tang Chi didn't bother with more talk, clapped his hands around the yellow talisman, and shouted, "Great Slowing Technique, activate!"
From him as the center, a green light exploded, instantly enveloping the entire starry sky.
People were shocked to see, at that moment, the wind slowed, even the movement of the stars slowed down, and the flames spit out by the sun slowed…
Everything slowed down...
Tang Chi proudly declared, "In this realm, everything will be slowed down by ninety percent. No matter what tricks you play this time, you won't be able to turn the tables!"
Having said that, Tang Chi walked towards Zhu Ganglie.
Zhu Ganglie wanted to curse out, but after being slowed, even opening his mouth was difficult, let alone speaking. He glared with fury, everything was conveyed through his eyes.
Tang Chi lifted a finger to Zhu Ganglie's forehead and said, "The Saint once said, life in the universe exists because of motion, even the soul exists only in a state of motion. If all motion can be reduced to zero, then all beings will return to nothingness, even Saints! Though, my strength is not yet sufficient to affect a Saint, but to kill you, it should be enough… Great Slowing Technique: Reset to Zero!"

As Tang Chi's finger descended, Zhu Ganglie watched in shock as his proudly sustained Protective Aura instantly lost its vigor under this single touch, scattered, and even his extremely tough skin also resisted in vain and disintegrated…
