After Shi Tao finished speaking, the remaining few people looked at each other.

They knew that the president of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association had cultivated the most profound martial art, the Five-Thunder Transformation Hand.

However, they had never seen the true power of the Five-Thunder Transformation Hand, because even in the Awakened Association, there was only a fragmented version of it.

Since it was a fragmented version, how could it possess any real power?

But just now?

Someone swallowed and said, "You were clearly hit by those attacks just now, but you came out unscathed. Is it also because of the Five-Thunder Transformation Hand?"

"That’s right."

Shi Tao nodded and patiently explained, "My Five-Thunder Transformation Hand has reached the Perfection Realm. Under Perfection, the Five-Thunder Transformation Hand can not only neutralize the vast majority of attacks in the world but also form a layer of Protective Gang Qi on the body. The reason why your attacks just now couldn’t harm me is because of this."

After hearing Shi Tao’s explanation, several people’s mouths twitched, not knowing what to say.

Except for Xiang Long, all three of them had awakened elemental attacks. Because of the great power of this superpower, it was quicker to cultivate than others.

But encountering Shi Tao, weren’t they completely restrained?

"What about the Protective Talisman? Can you neutralize the Protective Talisman too?"

"Of course."

Shi Tao said.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the three of them showed expressions of despair.

They finally understood why Shi Tao had the audacity to pull so many of them into this.

The Five-Thunder Transformation Hand was simply a nemesis for the vast majority of Awakeners!

If they were outside, they could still use their space items to leave. Even if someone was caught, they wouldn’t all be wiped out.

But now, they were trapped here.

Shi Tao was truly ruthless!

"Don’t be afraid!" One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows if what he’s saying is true, maybe he just got lucky just now."

"That’s right, even if what he says is true, I don’t believe he can neutralize it once, twice, or even ten, twenty times?"

"I truly can’t."

Unexpectedly, Shi Tao admitted it.

This scene left the enemies bewildered too.

"Although my True Essence is abundant, I haven’t reached the Celestial Human Realm yet. The Five-Thunder Transformation Hand is a martial art that consumes a lot of True Essence. However,"

Shi Tao changed his tone and continued, "as long as you don’t have the chance to use your superpower ten or twenty times, that’s enough."

"You!"

The few people were so angry that they almost spat blood.

Should they call Shi Tao foolish or arrogant?

To blatantly reveal his own weakness, it was either he looked down on them or underestimated them by a large margin, right? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Good! What a Five-Thunder Transformation Hand! Hahaha!"

At this moment, Xiang Long suddenly burst into laughter, then quickly stopped and signaled to the three to retreat.

The three were stunned but quickly reacted, showing joy in their eyes.

Yes, how could they forget about the City Lord?

The opponent’s awakened superpower was precisely the one least afraid of the Five-Thunder Transformation Hand.

"I must say, Shi Tao, I really underestimated you before, which allowed you to kill two people. But from now on, you won’t have this chance again."

As he spoke, he moved his neck.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed as the clothes on his chest were torn open, revealing a muscular build.

Followed by more tearing sounds.

Rip!

Rip!

A few seconds later, the original Xiang Long was gone.

Standing in his place was a humanoid creature over three meters tall, covered in Dragon Scales, with a tail over a meter long, fangs, and claws.

"A Lizardman?"

Shi Tao squinted his eyes, and a serious expression appeared on his face.

"Don’t compare those Lizardmen to me."

Xiang Long opened his mouth wide, showing his sparkling teeth, "Dragon! I am a Dragon! One day, I will transform into a Giant Dragon, spewing Dragon Breath and burning everything to ashes!"

He roared furiously.

If it weren’t for the tattered clothing hanging on him, it would be difficult to connect him to his previous appearance.

"I see."

Shi Tao’s eyes revealed a look of pity.

He roughly understood what Xiang Long’s superpower was now.

Undoubtedly, if this guy were to continue growing, he would soar through the sky like the Red Dragon and Black Dragon of the Dragon-man Race, spitting Dragon Breath and burning everything.

But is that also called a Dragon?

It’s just a flying Lizard.

"Come on, show me your power."

"You seek death!"

Xiang Long stomped the ground fiercely, causing a loud boom. The ground beneath his feet instantly caved in more than ten meters deep.

The next moment, he appeared right in front of Shi Tao and delivered a fierce knee strike.

"Boom!"

A loud noise echoed.

Shi Tao flew out like a kite with a broken string.

"Is that all?"

Xiang Long laughed loudly, with strong contempt in his eyes.

Then, he transformed into a flash of lightning and chased after him.

"Dragon God Fist!"

Xiang Long was taken aback.

He vaguely remembered seeing these words somewhere.

But it was too late now to say anything. He didn’t believe that in his Dragon-man form, he couldn’t destroy this so-called Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill!

In the next moment, he roared and threw another punch upwards.

Shi Tao slightly shook his head, took a deep breath, and threw a punch of his own.

"Boom!"

A loud crash.

A violent wave of energy surged from the center, sweeping in all directions.

The three people in the distance were caught off guard, thrown to the ground, and rolled far away until they finally collided with an invisible barrier.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound accompanied by a hysterical scream.

Xiang Long’s entire right arm drooped down, with white bones piercing through the skin, stained with blood, exposed to the air, making one’s hair stand on end.

The most terrifying thing was that all five fingers were broken.

"No! This can’t be! This is impossible!"

Xiang Long was sweating profusely, looking at his broken arm, shouting.

His fist was almost as big as half of Shi Tao’s body. In front of him, Shi Tao’s fist was pathetically small.

But the result was that his arm and fingers were broken. How was this possible?

"Nothing is impossible."

Shi Tao’s eyes showed a look of compassion.

"You have great brute strength but don’t know how to use techniques. Without True Essence to enhance this strength, you are naturally not my opponent."

But then again, if Xiang Long could use True Essence, he would fall into the trap of Shi Tao’s Undying Seal Technique.

"You! Shut! Up! Go! Die!"

Xiang Long roared and charged with his left fist.

Having completely lost his mind, all he could think of was to kill this guy in front of him!

"Crack!"

Another crisp sound.

Xiang Long’s left arm broke too, meeting the same fate.

With consecutive severe injuries, he couldn’t maintain his Dragon-man form and began to shrink, soon returning to his original size.

His broken arms hung limply by his sides, blood dripping down, an unbearable sight.

"Plop!"

Xiang Long fell, sitting on the ground, with a dazed expression, seemingly unable to believe he had lost, and so thoroughly.

Shi Tao also regained his original form from the Golden Man state.

His gaze passed over the heavily injured Xiang Long, resting on the last three people. He calmly said:

"Activating the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill has consumed most of my True Essence. If you seize this moment to kill me, there might be a chance to survive. But if you delay, allowing me to gradually recover my True Essence, you will die without a doubt."
