[Review: A notorious assassin, the main antagonist in the early stages; you wouldn't want to fight him.]

Goku was somewhat unconvinced, but when he thought about the energy he had sensed from Tao Pai Pai's body, he had to admit that he might not be a match for him.

...............

Li Xia walked up to Tao Baibai. The two were about the same height, and their eyes met at eye level.

A gentle breeze blew through the forest above, causing the lush green leaves to sway and rustle. The wind swept across the clearing of Kalin Tower, swirling up fallen leaves that passed by the two of them before settling back down a short distance away.

So the two of them were surrounded by falling, withered leaves.

"Boy, state your name. There shouldn't be anyone in the world who has cultivated to this level and is still unknown."

Tao Pai Pai felt a long-lost sense of threat from the person in front of him. Ever since his brother Master Shen taught him all his life's knowledge and he successfully left the mountain, Tao Pai Pai had become invincible.

I haven't felt this way in a very, very long time...

Li Xia stomped his feet hard, then suddenly lowered and separated his arms, gathering his energy and strength.

Extend one hand forward with one finger pointing upward, and curl the other hand backward with four fingers tucked inward.

If there's a bridge, cross it; if there isn't one, build it!

Hong Quan - determine the right size!

"summer!"

As the champion of the recently concluded World Martial Arts Tournament, Li Xia has no problem claiming this title, and even Master Roshi wouldn't refute it.

"Xia? Never heard of her..."

Tao Pai Pai burst into wild laughter. He suddenly gathered his strength, and a violent gust of air burst forth from the soles of his feet, scattering the surrounding fallen leaves.

They also adopted the starting stance of the Crane School:

"The world's number one assassin, Tao Pai Pai!"

As he spoke, he thrust his palms together like knives straight at Li Xia's lower body.

The fingernails gleamed with a cold light, clearly indicating that after being infused with 'qi', these fingernails were definitely no less powerful than so-called daggers.

With a sudden slam of his palm, Li Xia deflected Tao Bai Bai's attacking hand. Then, he raised his shoulder and exerted force in the confined space, aiming directly at Tao Bai Bai's chest.

Tao Pai Pai's pupils contracted, and her other hand retracted with incredible speed to block her chest, while she lightly leaped with both feet.

"Snapped!"

The shoulder and palm collided with a crisp sound, and Tao Pai Pai, who was in the air, floated backward to dissipate the force, but suddenly shook her head in mid-air.

A thick braid whistled through the air, and at the end of the braid was a sharp, handleless knife.

The knife was painted jet black, with only its blade gleaming with a cold light, catching Li Xia in a slight pause as his old strength was gone and new strength had not yet arisen.

And the distance was just right to cut the neck.

The white peach blossom even tilted its head in mid-air to block out the sun; if one weren't extremely focused, they might easily have missed the small knife.

Tao Pai Pai's timing, distance, and even the smallest details were all perfect, reaching the pinnacle of artistry!

In that split second, Li Xia pushed off with his front foot, his abdominal muscles taut like steel.

He leaned back strangely, and the blade grazed past Li Xia's mouth and nose. The distance was so close that it seemed as if the sharpness of the blade could be felt through his skin.

A faint, peculiar smell wafted past my nose, clearly indicating that the blade was poisoned.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tao Baibai's eyes. He was extremely satisfied with this attack, expecting to see a spray of blood.

But to my surprise, it all fell through!

But what he didn't expect was what was to come. Li Xia, using the backward leaning posture, quickly raised his arm and caught Tao Baibai's thick braid.

With an arm raised, pull hard!

Li Xia, who was about to land on her back, was suddenly lifted straight up as if she had springs in her back. Tao Baibai, caught off guard, was pulled down.

The distance between the two people closed in an instant.

"Bang!" With his left hand clenched into a fist, he struck Tao Pai Pai's abdomen hard with the force of a cannon punch.

The powerful force instantly pierced through his body, and Tao Pai Pai's training clothes were billowed out by the domineering punch, bulging high as if swollen, and finally ripped open with a 'rip'.

[You have triggered 'Strength'! This damage tier increases by 1, and damage is increased by 34%!]

[You dealt 26% of Tao Pai Pai's health as damage!]

"puff!"

Tao Baibai's eyes widened instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Li Xia slightly withdrew his fist, flipped his wrist to change his fist into a palm, and wanted to deliver another blow.

Unexpectedly, the hand pulling on the braid suddenly loosened, and the momentum was immediately disrupted.

But then they saw that Tao Pai Pai had cut off his own hair at some point, and was squatting on the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Her hair, which had been tied up, was cut off and left to fall loose, making her look particularly disheveled.

"Impressive skills..."

Tao Baibai slowly stood up, his disheveled hair swaying over his shoulders, which made his face even more gloomy.

I underestimated you.

Li Xia swayed, not giving him a chance to continue talking nonsense. In the midst of a fight, using words to buy time, tidy up one's body, and regulate one's breathing are all too common.

This isn't some friendly competition; it's a life-or-death struggle!

Take advantage of your weakness to kill you!

..............

"Wow...that's amazing! I can't see it at all, I can't see it at all..."

Upa, who was hiding behind a big tree, poked his head out and looked at the two people who had turned into phantoms, and whispered.

She looked up at her father, compared the two, and finally said from the bottom of her heart:

"I think... Dad isn't as good as my older brother."

Brahma turned stiffly to look at her child, who had just said a few hours ago that her father was the best in the world.

"Yes, it's amazing—much better than before!"

Wukong clenched his fists; he was the only one in the entire arena who could clearly see Li Xia and Tao Pai Pai fighting.

Although he didn't understand what Li Xia's movements were, his extremely keen combat intuition still allowed him to discern quite a bit.

For example, during the battle between Li Xia and Master Wu Tian in "The World's Number One Martial Arts", although the flow was smooth, there were still some discordant notes. That discordant notes were like a few wrong notes suddenly mixed into a perfect piece of music.

The average person can't hear it, but it's very clear to an expert.

But now, Li Xia gives Wukong a feeling of smoothness, unparalleled smoothness, and the previous subtle disharmony has disappeared.

No... Wukong lowered his head, looking at his hands. Perhaps they hadn't disappeared, but rather they had exceeded his vision and were beyond his comprehension.

How long has it been? Probably just over a week since we parted.

After only a little over a week apart, he has made such a great improvement. Are the immortals living on Kalin Tower really that powerful?

At this moment, it was as if a fire had been ignited in Wukong's heart, and it grew brighter and brighter.

He was so eager to climb Kalin Tower, meet the immortals, train with them, and become stronger!

It's decided! Goku touched the Dragon Ball on his chest. He hadn't forgotten his promise: after giving the Dragon Ball to Natsu, he would go climb Korin Tower!

.........

At this moment, on Korin Tower, which Goku longed for so much, Master Korin nestled in the luxurious cat bed that Li Xia had brought him, hugging a small fish plush toy, with a large jar of freeze-dried snacks next to him.

Its tail was wagging rapidly, intently watching the fight between the two inside the crystal ball.

Although Li Xia's progress this week is terrifying, it's Tao Pai Pai!

According to the cat master's eyesight, Tao Pai Pai's 'ki' is still stronger than Li Xia's. In general, ki represents strength.

All Li Xia could rely on were those amazing techniques that he himself had never seen before.

Whether it will work or not... the cat sage doesn't know.

Its claws nimbly reached for the small basin, grabbed a handful of freeze-dried fruit, and stuffed it into its mouth, filling its cheeks completely.

"Little juice (crunch) can't hold back (crunch)......."

As for the Senzu Beans in the jar not far away, the Nekomamushi didn't even glance at them.

Senzu beans? Even dogs wouldn't eat them!

Chapter 30: Killing Tao Pai Pai! (3/4)

"bang"

Li Xia slammed his foot on the ground, creating a small crack. At this moment, he was facing away from Tao Pai Pai in a rather strange posture.

Like a standing start, the right toes touch the ground.

good chance!

A fierce glint flashed in Tao Baibai's eyes. This posture made it difficult for him to be attacked no matter what kind of force he exerted.

He let out a fierce shout, stomped his feet on the ground and charged straight forward, his palms like knives aimed directly at Li Xia's spine.

Once this move works, the next step is to pull the spine out like pulling a shrimp's thread.

Unexpectedly, his right foot, which was touching the ground, suddenly swung back and upward, kicking silently towards Tao Baibai's chin at an extremely strange and tricky angle.

It was the Jade Ring Step Mandarin Duck Kick from Chuojiao, a move that is extremely famous and insidious even within Chuojiao.

There was even a rumor that "once you see someone's background check, it means they've been implicated."

This stance, with your back to your opponent, may seem like it's difficult to generate power and full of openings, but it's actually the best offensive position for poking your feet.

It can not only protect the extremely vulnerable lower three lanes, but also safeguard the middle lane.

Furthermore, different responses can be chosen based on the enemy's attack methods.

If Tao Pai Pai had chosen to kick, Li Xia would have swung his leg and attacked her lower body, resulting in a complete disaster.

If you raise your knee, your heel will pierce the white shinbone. With the combined force of both sides, it will at least result in a fracture.

As Tao Baibai struck out with his palm, Li Xia decisively used his Mandarin Duck High Kick, heading straight for his face.

"Oops!"

Tao Baibai's pupils suddenly contracted to their limit. He had never expected such a strange move, but he could no longer dodge it.

All I could do was watch as Li Xia's size 42 hiking boots, with their anti-slip studs, grew larger and larger in front of me.

"Oh!"

The clanging sound was so loud it made your teeth ache. Tao Pai Pai raised her chin high and lifted herself off the ground. A glint flashed in Li Xia's eyes.

With a quick, supporting step, he took three small steps back, his long legs swinging three times in succession.

"bang bang bang"

Three dull thuds rang out in succession, and Tao Pai Pai couldn't help but gag, spitting out another mouthful of food mixed with broken teeth.

Just as Li Xia was about to give chase, his expression changed. He quickly fastened his jade ring cloth and dodged away with a few quick movements.

The blood-soaked, broken teeth slicing through the air like bullets, struck the thick tree trunk, and, just like bullets, pierced it through.

Tao Pai Pai is truly something else; even under such circumstances, he managed to pull off such a clever and unconventional move, combining offense and defense, while injured and coughing up blood.
