Ling Zhenfei now really had no solution at all. At this time he could only use his most powerful technique to resist, but earlier he had only reached the third punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, and now he could at most unleash the fourth punch.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei dared not be careless. With his left hand, he used the fourth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, and with his right hand, he unleashed the fifth punch.

Ling Zhenfei didn't strike Gu Teng with the fourth punch; instead, he aimed it at the deck below.

Ling Zhenfei didn't have time to see what would happen to the deck, for the fifth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists had already struck towards Gu Teng.

This punch from Gu Teng was indeed extremely powerful, but Ling Zhenfei's Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists was not a joke, especially this fifth strike, known as the Earth-Splitting Fist, which was immensely powerful.

Since debuting, Ling Zhenfei rarely used this fifth punch, as there were almost no opponents who could withstand it.

Additionally, due to its immense energy consumption, Ling Zhenfei did not use it frequently.

The power of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists increases exponentially with each punch, but the spiritual energy consumption also grows, which left Ling Zhenfei greatly exhausted by now.

But at this moment, there was no choice; as long as he could survive, what did it matter if he spent some spiritual energy?

Boom!

The fifth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists collided with Gu Teng's palm, creating an incredibly loud noise, and the surrounding spiritual energy burst out, along with Ling Zhenfei flying away.

This Earth-Splitting Fist had never met an opponent before, but this time was different; Ling Zhenfei was knocked away even after using the fifth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists.

Ling Zhenfei fell heavily on the deck. The fourth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists had left marks on it, but when his body hit the deck hard, he could feel its warmth.

Ling Zhenfei felt uneasy; this had turned out rather badly. He knew that since his debut the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists had been a formidable strength, never meeting an enemy, but today this Gu Teng truly was peculiar.

Ling Zhenfei realized he had met a worthy adversary, and escaping might be very difficult.

Yet, looking at Gu Teng, he too had retreated several steps, with a hint of surprise on his face. Clearly, even Gu Teng was astonished by Ling Zhenfei's strength.

Ling Zhenfei promptly got back on his feet, though his insides still roiled fiercely, knowing this was bad—fighting further would surely result in injury.

Now Ling Zhenfei was very protective of his body and didn't want to suffer any more harm, though Gu Teng was indeed too formidable.

"Kid, you're capable, managing to withstand a strike from me, but I warn you, the next one won't be so easy," Gu Teng said to Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat worried internally, but outwardly showed nothing.

His body was slowly beginning to condense spiritual energy. Since the fifth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists was not enough, he prepared to use the sixth punch.

The sixth punch was double the power of the fifth; he didn't believe that just now Gu Teng had used only half his strength, after all, Gu Teng, too, had retreated several steps.

Thus, Ling Zhenfei prepared himself, seeing Gu Teng rushing towards him, this time not avoiding.

"Actually, your strength is just so-so, let's try again," Ling Zhenfei sneered slightly.

Gu Teng was already close by, "Arrogant!"

As he spoke, the spiritual energy in his hand flickered and he slapped towards Ling Zhenfei.

By now, Ling Zhenfei had gathered all his spiritual energy, concentrating it in his right hand, then met Gu Teng's slap.

The palm winds were like a tornado, forming one inside the palm—this power was truly fearsome and fierce.

Boom! A sound like thunder erupted in the sky.

The powerful spiritual energy stirred, causing all the air around to compact and then rapidly expand outward.

A strong wind whipped up, tossing everything unfastened on the deck.

This included the soldiers standing nearby; previously these soldiers held their guns at the edge, but now, propelled by the palm winds, some were tossed overboard into the sea.

Falling into the sea from this place was almost akin to signing their death warrant, while those left clung tightly to the rails on the deck to avoid being swept away.

The strong winds alone were shocking enough, but what surprised most was Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei never expected Gu Teng's strength to be this formidable. At the Middle Stage of the Dawen Realm, using the sixth punch of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists against Gu Teng resulted in Ling Zhenfei being sent flying.

While airborne, he spat out a large mouthful of blood. Ling Zhenfei realized he was in trouble—injured, moreover with internal injuries.

Ling Zhenfei's body had experienced injuries several times; since returning from Japan not long ago, he was injured again, making Ling Zhenfei nearly wish for death.

Ling Zhenfei crashed onto the deck, his blood and energy surging despite his continuous attempts to suppress it with spiritual energy, but still, blood trickled from the corners of his mouth.

Unable to hold back, he opened his mouth wide and spat blood onto the deck, something he hadn't done in a long time—evoking memories of Watanabe Kazushi.

Back then, during the confrontation with Watanabe Kazushi, who was in the Dawen Realm, while Ling Zhenfei was at the Zhiyi Boundary, he had been similarly overpowered.

That time, Ling Zhenfei also spat blood, but felt Gu Teng here was significantly stronger than Watanabe Kazushi.

This indicated that Gu Teng's current strength was at least a tier above Ling Zhenfei's, namely the Pursue Heart State.

Just thinking about the Pursue Heart State made Ling Zhenfei feel terrified, for it was said to be near demi-god status, an absolute master among masters.

Ling Zhenfei had faced many masters, but Gu Teng was undoubtedly the foremost, existing in the Pursue Heart State—a frightening thought.

At that moment, lying on the ground, Ling Zhenfei was considering how to escape, but given the current situation, it was extremely difficult.

Ling Zhenfei's mind was racing, cursing himself as a fool, for he had sensed Gu Teng's formidable strength earlier, but who would have guessed Gu Teng was this overwhelmingly powerful.

Ling Zhenfei was also secretly worrying; if a master like Gu Teng reached Moergawa, it would undoubtedly lead to a storm of bloodshed.

By now, Gu Teng was already approaching Ling Zhenfei, saying, "Kid, impressive, but compared to me, you're still somewhat lacking."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, "Well, impressive, you really are impressive."

Then Gu Teng said, "I don't kill, who will help me kill him?"

Upon his words, someone suddenly leaped forth—turns out it was the young man from the previous assassination attempt on Mao Sharlu.

That young man had been soundly defeated by Ling Zhenfei last time, naturally seeking revenge this time.

Gu Teng cautioned, "Be careful."
