[3rd POV]
What's the fastest animal in the modern world?
The obvious answer which popped into the average mind might be a gazelle or a cheetah. But those are not the correct answer, the fastest animal in the world was a bird.
The Peregrine Falcon.
That was the name of the fastest animal in the world. It could easily reach up to the speed of 390 km/h. Around 4 times faster than that of a cheetah.
How does a simple bird reach such frightening speed?
The answer lies in the body and the technique that the Peregrine Falcon possessed. It would fly up high in the sky before it tucked its wings and dived down like a missile.
Its body was streamlined and perfectly designed to cut through the air with ease. Its powerful wings propel it faster and faster as it plunges towards the earth.
Its feathers were stiff to reduce drag and the bird used gravity to its favour to get the ferocious speed that it was known for.
The bird used this technique to hunt its prey which consists mostly of ducks and pigeons. Diving down at such speed, its prey would get their head chopped off even before they realised they were being hunted by the fastest animal in the world.
..
..
..
Now, in this world of Kung Fu and Chi, there was one person who used the same technique as the fastest animal in the modern world.
His name was feared throughout China and his strength was such that even his own king would never dare order him.
Mighty Eagle.
To not be mistaken, the renowned Eagle merely utilized the same technique as the Peregrine Falcon. The calibre at which they used the same concept was vastly different.
"I think I better make a move." Mighty Eagle said with a lighthearted chuckle as he looked down at the battlefield from the Mesosphere.
His eagle eyes were able to cover the distance of 80 km with ease and watch the battlefield as if he was right above it.
After his chuckle died down at the height which most birds had never reached, he started his dive.
For reference, a normal bird in the modern world rarely flies higher than the troposphere which ends at 10 km. But Mighty Eagle was easily staying in the Mesosphere, 80+ km high up the sky.
At such insane height, Mighty Eagle began his decent. His powerful wings, a thousand times stronger than the Peregrine Falcon's, flapped multiple times to propel him towards the Earth.
His body, streamlined and coated with the thinnest layer of Chi made it so that his body felt like it was cutting through empty space. He encounters no drag or resistance in the atmosphere.
In just a few seconds, his huge body turned into a blur and he left sound behind. A huge explosion which signifies the breaking of the sound barrier was the last sound the attack made.
For the rest of the descent, sound tried effortlessly to catch up to Mighty Eagle.
His body did not slow down and his speed did not remain constant. The closer he get to the ground the faster he got, until the world even failed to register his existence.
Chi, which was basically the world itself had no time to interact with him. It makes him flicker out of reality as his body becomes impossible to sense.
For all reality cared, Mighty Eagle no longer existed.
When Mighty Eagle was about to reach the ground, he spread out his wings ever so slightly. His wingspan became a deadly blade slicing at a speed incomprehensible to the world.
There was no sound, there was no sight, there was no telling.
Everything happened but nothing noticed it.
Mighty eagle flew straight through the valley at that godly speed. But as stated, nothing notices it so there was no visible effect until the action had long been executed.
But when reality finally noticed it and the world catches up, all hell broke loose. Chaos descended opon the world.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!*
Mountains were cleaved and bodies were dismantled. Nothing was spared from the destruction that Mighty Eagle had brought down upon the world.
But no one heard the explosion and chaos. Because by the time those things caught up, everyone who was meant to be dead was dead.
The attack had no name.
Because how can you name something which you can neither see nor hear? Even the ones who were lucky enough to survive it did not know what happened and simply thought they had lost their memory of what happened.
It was done.
Mighty Eagle had proven one of the tiles he was known by.
The Vanquisher of Armies.
And so, Oogway wrote in one of his scrolls and Tai Lung read, "A new type of Kung Fu that I have never seen before and one that could not be replicated. It carries no sound nor image for it to be named. It defies the fundamental laws of this universe and thus could not be explained. And so, Mighty Eagle was able to cut down mountains with a flap of his wings, forever carving his name in history as one of the strongest Kung Masters that had ever graced China."
(Refer to chapter 42)

Author : Migthy Eagle is not a fraud like the one in Angry Birds. And do not freak out at the new show of power level as I stated way back that Monkey King was able to match Mighty Eagle and are both around equal in strength.
There are obvious tricks and weakness to this technique.
[Tai Lung's POV]
"What just happened....?" I said in the desolate silence of the valley.
Just a few seconds ago, the valley was filled with the vigorous screams of warriors battling each other and the sound of iron clashing with iron. Now it was the ghost of a moment ago.
I checked my body carefully and I was completely unharmed. Although I might not be able to see or realize what was going on, my body driven by instincts was able to save itself from any harm.
But everyone else, not so much.
I waved my hand and used my Chi to bend the air. A small whirlwind erupted and cleared the dust and smoke-filled valley, revealing the damage of the aftermath.
..
..
There was no longer a valley.
The mountains had been cleaved and the uneven land had been turned into a plain. The crumbled mountains buried in its depth the gorillas and their cannons. The chance of survival were slim and even if they were alive, their scream would be unheard through all the layers of earth.
I tapped my ear as it rang loudly. I tried to listen for any survivors but to no avail, the constant ringing had blocked everything out.
So I walked on the broken battlefield and observed carefully. The earth was mixed with the blood of soldiers friend and foe and their mingled corpses which were splattered around like dead leaves were not a sight I was very fond of.
Whatever it was that hit us, it did not differentiate friend or foe as I saw the equal corpses of my army and the enemy. Luckily, there were still some who survived but they were knocked unconscious due to shock.
I continued walking and when I reached the place where the battle was taking place, it was filled with mountains of corpses which was buried in a mound of earth. They looked like potatoes ready to be harvested.
But then my eye caught something, and I stopped.
And stilled.
..
'Alpha.'
I looked at the bisected corpse of my commander and he was also holding his weapon tight in his hands even as his body was completely severed.
The last talk we had not too long ago came to my mind. His stupid smile as he talked a big talk, his eyes that held absolute faith in me as he entrusted his fate into my hands.
His wife who was waiting for him back in the city, the one who had refused to leave because she said he would protect her and the city. I wonder how I will react when I see her face.
It was strange, how someone so alive could end up so dead in the next moment.
Now his body was mixed with the earth and he would forever lay cold, embraced by the world who had once given him warmth and life.
But why am I saying all this? Why am I feeling these emotions again?
This is war.
I was not naive. I realized that people die in wars. I have fought enough battles, and seen enough violence that I have already been through the initial shock of war and what it truly meant.
I was already above all of it. I had accepted the fact that the moment you call yourself a warrior, you have decided to walk with death and are ready to give up your life at any moment.
That was why I never really held a regard for a warrior or a soldier's life as long as they are not great Kung Fu masters or something close. I might come across as evil to some people because of such outlook I had.
But that was the belief you must hold in this world. Or else you would worry tirelessly and get hurt with every death in this accursed world.
Yet.
In rare moments like these I allowed myself to grieve for a life lost. I wonder why I was feeling this now, it was not like I knew Alpha personally. I have been closer to people and I did not react when they die in battle.
...
...
I see.
It was not that I was grieving for Alpha because I was close to him. It was because I did not want him to die and I thought I had enough power to not let him die. So I built an emotional connection with him.
But he did.
He died even before I knew it. I was as helpless as any civilian when it happened.
The strongest in the World.
How hallow must that title be if it did not allow me to achieve what I desire, instead it only brought destruction to the people around me.
I became angry, I became enraged. I seethe.
I tore my eyes off my commander's corpse and looked up to the sky. My eyes locked on the giant eagle who was flying above.
It did not take a genius to figure out that Mighty Eagle was the one who had caused this destruction. But how?
My mind worked with the clarity of a pond even when I was seething. With all the knowledge I held and analysing the events that just took place, it did not take me long to realize what happened and how he did it.
"I see."
*KAWWWWWWWWW!!!!!*
His victorious screech filled the sky and pierced my already ringing ear. He flapped his wings, causing a disturbance in the atmosphere as his gigantic body sailed through the air with the confidence of a king.
"SOLIDERS!!! REGROUP AND LAUNCH AN ATTACK!!!" I heard the yell of Master Sloth in the distance as I turned to look at them.
The soldiers who were not inside the valley started regrouping and marched towards me. They were still shocked and affected by the calamity that just struck but knowing that it was done by Mighty Eagle and seeing my army, which seemed invincible before, lay down and dead gave them enough motivation to approach me.
"THEY ARE DEFENSELESS!! LET US AVENGE OUR FALLEN COMRADES!!!"
"THE GOD OF THE SKY IS WITH US!! WE CANNOT LOSE THIS WAR!!"
They beat their drums, they beat their shield. The steps they took gained confidence as they gained distance. They started approaching me and since there was no longer a valley to protect us, they came in all their might.
200 thousand of them.
They surrounded me, they were like dark clouds that came from the East and promised a destructive storm. It was done, the war had been concluded.
They won the war.
..
..
"Is that what you think?" I asked in a whisper which was unheard and drowned into silence with all the sound they made.
My anger grew until it felt like it was going to suffocate me. I rage at their audacity and my Chi comes alive, it reacts to my anger and enhances it, like adding fuel to a burning fire.
Then I released all of my warth and my raging Chi to the outside world through a technique. My will bent the will of the world as it pressed down on reality, caving it and leaving a permanent mark.
A wave of Chi and anger, indistinguishable and one, burst out like an explosion of energy and willpower.
It shook the entire fallen valley and the clear sky quickly darkened as storm clouds made themselves known from above as if reflecting my anger.
*BOOOOOOOOM!!!!*
Conquerers Haki
It was a technique I had worked on since the beginning due to its sheer versatility in battle. It was a technique that allowed one to face off against an army without even having to lift a finger.
I have achieved a similar technique by mixing killing intent and Chi but it could never measure up to the real thing. But now I was finally able to replicate that technique.
My willpower exploded out in a bubble of dark grey energy as it continued ravaging reality like a constant sonic explosion. My willpower pressed on the world and onto every soldier present.
The lesser beings and the soldiers with weak willpower started dropping down like puppets as they were deemed unworthy to be in my presence. The presence of a Conquerer, a Supreme King.
In just a few seconds, almost all of the infantry fell unconscious with their eyes turning white and foam leaking out of their mouth. My willpower was something which simple mortals could not resist.
I stopped after a few seconds as the decrease in my Chi was too alarming. But by that time, the world had fallen into a sullen silence again. It was like a child who dared not make a sound before his angry father.
"haaa..." I breathe out sharply as I felt all my bubbling anger disappear. I also felt my will weaker than ever. If I had to explain it, the difference was like the will you had when you just woke up and the will you had right after being motivated by a speech.
But I shook my head and gathered myself.
Then my eyes looked up to the sky again. I met eyes with Migthy eagle who was flying around me like a vulture. His face was serious and grave.
.
.
Chicken was my favourite meat.
It was due to this reason that when I first met the messenger or even Master Crane, I wondered if they would taste like chicken.
It was a question that always plagued the furthest corner of my mind. Does the bird in this world taste like chicken? Or would they taste even better?
Today, I will find out.
"Run." I mouthed to Mighty Eagle and he did.
He flapped his mighty wings and took to the sky again. He was not exactly running away but he was preparing to execute the same attack for a second time.
While he was busy preparing for his trump attack, I turned my focus back on the battlefield.
My soldiers who were still alive were slowly waking up. My conquered Haki did not simply knock the enemy unconscious but it also worked to stir up my soldiers.
We have not lost yet.
