Simultaneous Transmigration: Both Start in a Near-Death State

As the sharp blade came at him, Li Ke swayed like a willow in the wind, following the direction of the blade to the other side.

The brute wanted to continue chasing Li Ke, but Li Ke moved even faster.

The brute swung his knife, his strength exhausted; at this moment, his old strength had dissipated and new strength had not yet arisen.

Li Ke seized this opportunity.

Li Ke's fist instantly landed on the brute's chest.

Snap!

The bone was broken and shattered.

The brute flew off the stage and crashed heavily to the ground.

Subsequently, the brute died.

So fast!

All the martial arts practitioners present were amazed.

Meanwhile, Hong Qigong, who was hiding in the crowd, frowned upon seeing this scene.

This person's grasp of timing is beyond my capabilities.

Hong Qigong looked at Zhou Botong beside him.

Zhou Botong scratched his head, looking very anxious.

He couldn't help but say to Hong Qigong, "Old beggar, just let me go first? This kid is too arrogant."

Hong Qigong shook his head: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"Let's wait and see."

Zhou Botong complained, "It's just a martial arts competition, why is it so complicated?"

"Botong, Seventh Brother is right."

"We'd better take a look first."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Botong instinctively wanted to run.

But Master Yideng was quick-witted and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Zhou Botong gave a wry smile.

He has no choice but to stay here for now.

Just then, Li Ke called out to the crowd, "Who else wants to come up and try their skills?"

Someone asked, "Why did you have to kill him?"

Li Ke laughed: "If you only think about taking the token of being the best in the world, I naturally wouldn't be so ruthless. But if you want this beautiful land, then I will not give up an inch of it."

"Did you understand?"

The man immediately replied, "Understood, understood."

At that moment, a young man jumped onto the ring.

He bowed respectfully and said, "I am Zhuo Xiaobao, and I have come to learn from Your Majesty's martial arts."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Xiaobao drew his sword.

Then, a half-inch of blue light appeared on the tip of Zhuo Xiaobao's longsword.

Everyone present was shocked. Could this be the release of internal energy?

This is indeed an outward manifestation of internal energy.

But Li Ke could tell at a glance that although this form of internal force projection could enhance the sword's power, it would be more show than substance in actual use.

To put it bluntly, this is a trick to release internal energy externally, rather than the pure release of internal energy that comes from accumulating it to a certain degree.

Of course, such superficiality only applies to Li Ke, or to top martial artists like the Five Greats.

For other martial arts practitioners, such an outward release of internal energy can create a significant advantage.

Zhuo Xiaobao, sword in hand, quickly approached Li Ke.

When the attack range was sufficient, Zhuo Xiaobao stabbed Li Ke with his sword.

Li Ke retreated accordingly.

Zhuo Xiaobao quickly gave chase.

He unleashed the Zhuo family sword technique, and instantly countless sword shadows enveloped Li Ke's body.

His swordsmanship was swift and continuous.

Clearly, this person had figured out why the brute had lost.

Li Ke smiled.

Then Li Ke threw a punch.

This punch was neither fast nor slow.

But this punch easily passed through the sword shadow and struck Zhuo Xiaobao.

Then, Zhuo Xiaobao flew off the stage.

Zhuo Xiaobao stood up, clutching his chest. He looked at Li Ke, his heart filled with confusion.

What happened?

How did I lose?

Zhuo Xiaobao couldn't understand it.

Hong Qigong, Master Yideng, and Zhou Botong, who were watching the battle, had figured it out.

The key is timing.

Li Ke seized another fleeting opportunity.

Zhuo Xiaobao's sword seemed to completely block Li Ke's escape routes, but precisely because it blocked his escape routes, it created one vulnerability after another in Li Ke's frontal attack path.

Even if others can see these vulnerabilities, they may not be able to use them to defeat Zhuo Xiaobao.

But Li Ke did it.

Hong Qigong looked at Master Yideng.

"Master, what do you think?"

Master Yideng sighed, "The King of Shu may truly be the greatest in the world."

Zhou Botong immediately flew into a rage: "No way! The number one in the world can only be my senior brother. What is this King of Shu anyway?"

"I'm going to go up there and teach him a lesson, to let him know that my senior brother is the best in the world."

Zhou Botong shrugged, and Master Yideng's hand was knocked away.

Just as Zhou Botong was about to fly onto the arena, another figure flew onto the arena first.

"I am the best in the world! I am the best in the world!"

The newcomer was none other than Ouyang Feng!

Zhou Botong stopped and said to Hong Qigong and Master Yideng, "If Old Poison Master goes up, I won't. If Old Poison Master can defeat the King of Shu, then the title of the number one in the world will still belong to my senior brother."

Hong Qigong laughed: "That should belong to Ouyang Feng, how could it be your senior brother's?"

Zhou Botong immediately retorted, "Ouyang Feng may be powerful, but isn't he still a defeated opponent of my senior brother?"

Master Yideng shook his head: "Things are different now. Ouyang Feng not only possesses the Toad Stance, but he has also practiced the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, making his martial arts far superior to what they were back then."

"If Master Chongyang had lived to this day, Ouyang Feng might not have been his match."

"But what about Master Chongyang..."

Zhou Botong covered his ears: "I don't care. At worst, I'll wait until the old poison master defeats that Shu King, and then I'll go up and defeat the old poison master. That way, my senior brother will still be the best in the world."

Upon hearing this, both Hong Qigong and Master Yideng looked toward the arena.

Without saying a word, Ouyang Feng on the stage immediately unleashed his Toad Stance.

The next moment, Ouyang Feng hurtled towards Li Ke like a cannonball.

Li Ke stood still and struck out with his palm.

Ouyang Feng arrived at lightning speed.

Palm to palm.

This situation should have been a head-on confrontation.

Unexpectedly, Li Ke turned around and pulled Ouyang Feng to the back.

Ouyang Feng's insidious internal energy was completely dissipated during this turn.

"Waaaaaah!!!"

Ouyang Feng roared, unleashing his Toad Style Kung Fu, striking Li Ke's vital points with palm after palm.

Of course, the strongest point of the Toad Style lies in the accumulation of power. This Toad Style without any accumulation of power merely stimulated Ouyang Feng's sinister internal energy.

Even so, to others, this was an unparalleled killing move.

Faced with such deadly moves, Li Ke remained calm and fearless, taking each blow with ease.

Every palm strike of Ouyang Feng was neutralized by Li Ke just before it was about to unleash its power.

Ouyang Feng felt increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed.

He felt as if every slap he delivered was hitting cotton.

This is the martial art that Li Ke created based on the military strategies of the ancient sages: the Art of War Breaking Fist!

The Supreme Hadouken emphasizes the principle of overwhelming force with sheer power, meaning both the left and right fists deal high damage.

The art of war and the art of breaking the law are completely different.

He is particular about all sorts of techniques.

The techniques of using softness to overcome hardness, dissolving and neutralizing force, borrowing force to strike, accumulating power for explosive release, and so on are all contained in boxing.

Moreover, this boxing style also incorporates military strategy.

Immovable as a mountain, yet swift as thunder.

Its slowness is like the forest, its speed like the wind.

The four aspects of military strategy are: military power and tactics, military situation, military yin and yang, and military skills.

Don't think this is absurd.

How can military strategy be integrated with martial arts?

In fact, the Nine Yin Manual, which was fought over so fiercely, was something that Huang Chang comprehended in the Daoist Canon.

It's perfectly normal for Li Keneng to glean insights into military strategy and break through conventional martial arts from military tactics.
