Chapter 665 359: Profound Demon Gang, The Return of the King!

At this moment, the last thread of doubt in everyone's minds completely dissipated. They all understood that the person before them was indeed Baili Hong and not an impostor, and they felt shocked!

Gongyang Jue had taken a step beyond the Fourth Grade, yet he was still suppressed by the Gang Leader who hadn't shown up for years. This indicated that the Gang Leader's power had increased significantly during these years of seclusion, stronger than Gongyang Jue who had recently broken through.

No matter the outcome today, given time, the Cyan Fish Gang might boast not just one but two Martial Arts Grandmasters!

"You've made some progress these years... but it's ultimately dependent on external aids."

Su Mu was not only a Martial Artist but a monstrous Alchemist who even Master Zhou Cang regretted he could not take as a disciple. Although Su Mu did not know what kind of pill Gongyang Jue had consumed, his extraordinary sensory abilities and his eye as an Alchemist allowed him to perceive that the person before him did not rely on his own strength to take that step.

The embryonic form of the Destiny Pillar behind him was also unstable, seemingly ready to crumble and vanish at any moment, far inferior to Li Heng as a fellow Half-Step Great Cultivator.

Nevertheless, even if Gongyang Jue had recently relied on external aids to surpass the Fourth Grade, he could easily crush ordinary Fourth Grade Martial Artists and even the typical Three Flowers Realm within the Fourth Grade.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent, for Su Mu was not an ordinary Fourth Grade, and at this moment, not even of the Fourth Grade.

"Flood Dragon Shocking Skill, Furious River Unlimited!"

Su Mu expelled a breath, forcing Gongyang Jue back. He let out another wild roar, clenched his right fist, and struck out with following intuition, his momentum instantly sweeping through like a raging torrent.

Seeing this, Gongyang Jue mimicked the bizarre martial arts he had used last time to engulf Su Mu's killing move. Above him, the three flowers unfurled while his sleeve fluttered, transforming rolling dark mist into the head of a fierce beast with a bloodthirsty maw, lunging at the fist.

"Boom—!"

First came a deafening blast, followed by a muffled groan of pain from Gongyang Jue, his body retreating repeatedly. The right arm that collided with Su Mu's fist emitted a slight cracking sound, the sleeve pulverized into powder during the clash, revealing a blood-soaked arm.

The scene was ghastly; through the blood on the arm, Su Mu's calm eyes detected mysterious and sinister black patterns resembling living creatures; had it not been for this power, the seemingly ordinary clash would have rendered Gongyang Jue's arm useless.

"Damn, Baili Hong, when did you become so insidious?!"

Gongyang Jue's eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. Although he did not cultivate the Flood Dragon Shocking Skill, as Vice Leader of Cyan Fish, he was very familiar with their formidable skill. The seemingly similar punch was entirely different!

Though confident in his martial arts, which were no weaker than the Flood Dragon Shocking Skill and had special attributes that countered such fierce skills, Gongyang Jue intended to swallow Su Mu's killing move directly and return the favor.

A sudden change occurred.

Within the punch lay two completely different but equally formidable types of Gang Force, and as flesh met flesh, they rapidly oscillated and invaded his body, exploding within the flesh.

Gongyang Jue had the confidence to swallow the killing blow directly using his special Cultivation Technique, but he could not withstand the killing blow detonating inside his body!

"Such quick reflexes, such bizarre martial arts... no wonder he's a Half-Step Great Cultivator, indeed hard to kill."

Su Mu thought silently. Had he known what Gongyang Jue was thinking, he would have nodded with satisfaction, as the latter's perception and judgment were exceptionally accurate.

Back at the Cyan Fish Hall, Su Mu's White Flood Dragon Breath had been swallowed directly by Gongyang Jue's sleeve, forcing him back three steps. Su Mu took note of it, continuously devoting effort to infer the bizarre move Gongyang Jue used and how to counter it.

After all, Gongyang Jue wanted to kill him, and he intended to kill Gongyang Jue!

Twenty days ago, Su Mu finally conceived a method to counter it, inspired after advancing the Profound Demon Five Transformations to the Great Success Realm, creating a second technique.

This new style might be called a technique, better described as a synthesis, the second move of the Five Animals Secret Technique.

Su Mu hadn't thought of a name yet but tentatively called it Profound Demon Gang!

Targeting Gongyang Jue's bizarre martial arts, Su Mu compressed and interwove five distinct types of Gang Force—Fire Sparrow, Water Ape, Demon Tiger, Demon Bear, Demon Deer—into a multi-spiral structure.

When releasing the multi-spiral structure, a terrifying oscillation frequency is instantaneously generated, enough to rip through the opponent's protective defense and invade the enemy's body for detonation. Currently, Su Mu can only fuse two types of Gang Force to form Profound Demon Gang.

Though this second style seems simple in concept, it is immensely dangerous. Just now, Su Mu invoked the Profound Demon Gang fused from Fire Sparrow Gang Force and Water Ape Gang Force.

These two forces are like fire and water, explosive upon contact!

Thus, the cultivator needs high control over different Gang Forces, and a strong physique is necessary.

The former came naturally to Su Mu, who had diligently practiced the Five Animals Qigong upon arriving in this world, even advancing it to Entry Level.

Su Mu's body had adapted entirely through repeated strengthening, making the execution of Five Animals Qigong as effortless as eating and drinking, with understanding and mastery beyond even its creator and unattainable levels!
