章 677: The Wisdom Behind the Delay

 With flames at his back, Lou Cheng soared through the sky like a rocket. He closed in on Qian Donglou, crashing into his face with both body and fist. 

He created this move by mimicking the Nile general, Sathah, and using the advanced proficiency he had in Fire Sect techniques. He named it 99.

The shadow on Qian Donglou's face grew denser as the fist in his eyes grew bigger. Suddenly, he smiled and drew a sharp breath. 

His body bulged once more, his muscles propping up tattered clothing. Through the cracks, his pulsing bronze muscles and lightning marks were visible. 

Clenching his left hand into a fist, Qian Donglou emitted purple lightning from his joints. This stimulated his body, like a simplified version of the secret art of empowerment, and had a dangerous quality to it. 

Bam! Shoulders swaying, he punched. Offense versus offense! 

Rumble!
