Chapter 65 Battle against Tien Shinhan
Chapter 65 Battle against Tien Shinhan
The atmosphere in Kami's Lookout was tense, almost frozen in place. Even Kami and Mr. Popo emerged from the temple. Krillin and the others held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two figures facing off in the temple grounds. Tien Shinhan's strength was undeniable; his known power was second only to Goku and Piccolo. He stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing the composure and coldness of someone who had seen countless battles. Opposite him, Shang Yun also exuded a formidable aura, his body subtly surrounded by mysterious spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly indicating that he had already unleashed "Zen Mind: Three-Foot Divine Power"—a testament to his respect and deference towards Tien Shinhan.
"Today, let's settle this here and now! Let's make up for the regret of not being able to fight each other at the World Martial Arts Tournament." Sensing Shang Yun's intention, Tien Shinhan's expression softened a bit, and he broke the silence first, his voice deep yet full of power.
Shang Yun smiled slightly, "Just what I wanted, Tien Shinhan. But back then, I really couldn't beat you."
In the blink of an eye, Tien Shinhan stopped talking and used his Flying Technique, instantly soaring into the air. After circling once, he looked down at Shang Yun. Shang Yun was not to be outdone. He lightly touched the ground with his feet, circulated his spiritual energy, and also slowly rose into the air, forming a confrontation with Tien Shinhan.
Tien Shinhan's eyes sharpened. He swiftly placed his hands on his forehead, spread his fingers, and chanted, "Solar Fist!" In an instant, his hands unleashed an incredibly intense light, like miniature suns suddenly exploding, the blinding rays shooting towards Shang Yun. Shang Yun felt a blinding white light before his eyes; the intense light almost instantly blinded him. But he was prepared, tightly closing his eyes while thinking to himself, "I was careless."
"Meditation? The Realm of the Void!"
A strange ripple appeared in the space around Shang Yun, and a layer of pale golden spiritual energy shield quickly unfolded, firmly blocking the dazzling sunlight.
Taking advantage of Shang Yun's brief distraction from the Solar Flare, Tien Shinhan switched hands again, pointing his index fingers at Shang Yun and shouting, "Dongdong Wave!" Several sharp energy beams shot out from his fingertips, like blades slicing through the sky, hurtling towards Shang Yun with a piercing whistle. Although Shang Yun couldn't see them, he could clearly sense the approaching danger through his connection with the Void Spirit Domain. However, he didn't dodge; instead, he unleashed the full power of the Void Spirit Domain. The beams struck the energy shield, creating ripples before disappearing.
"Hmph, not bad, quick reaction." Tien Shinhan snorted coldly, stabilizing himself in mid-air before deciding to unleash an even more powerful attack. His back suddenly bulged, muscles taut, and with a series of cracking sounds, two extra arms grew from his back. "Four Demon Fists!" Tien Shinhan roared, his four arms moving simultaneously, leaving afterimages in the air and creating gusts of wind as he launched a storm of attacks on Shang Yun.
Shang Yun slowly opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them. He moved his hands swiftly, forming two vortexes of energy in them, unleashing the "Zen Intent - Yuan Light Shield Slash." With a flick of his wrists, Shang Yun sent the Yuan Light Shield flying backward, while he himself charged forward to engage Tien Shinhan in battle.
Tien Shinhan stared intently at the swirling Elemental Shield behind Shang Yun. He knew the power of this attack was not to be underestimated. He used all four arms simultaneously to parry Shang Yun's attacks while also keeping an eye on the Elemental Shield. However, the Elemental Shield was too fast and its angles too tricky. It would always fly between Tien Shinhan and Shang Yun just as Tien Shinhan was about to strike, or even land directly in front of Tien Shinhan's fist, blocking his attack. Tien Shinhan gradually began to feel the strain.
"This can't go on!" Tien Shinhan thought to himself, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. He stopped attacking, retreated, and quickly concentrated all his energy, a strong golden light emanating from his body. "Four-Body Fist!" With a loud shout, his body instantly split into four identical Tien Shinhans, charging towards Shang Yun from four different directions.
Shang Yun was slightly startled; he hadn't expected Tien Shinhan to use such a move. But he quickly calmed down and once again unleashed his full power with the Void Domain, engaging the four Tien Shinhans in close combat. The Void Domain could accelerate the energy consumption rate within Tien Shinhan's body, while Shang Yun simultaneously converted this energy into his own attacks.
Moreover, with four Tien Shinhans, the energy conversion rate was even faster. As time went on, Tien Shinhan was alarmed. He could feel a powerful suction force tightly locking his body, causing his energy to be consumed rapidly. Seeing this, Shang Yun's lips curled up slightly. He concentrated his attacks on two of the Tien Shinhans while simultaneously manipulating the Yuan Light Shield to attack the other two.
Just as the Elemental Shield was about to strike Tien Shinhan, his third eye on his forehead suddenly opened, and a powerful beam of light shot towards the Elemental Shield. The beam collided with the Elemental Shield, generating a powerful energy surge that distorted the surrounding space.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the energy fluctuations, Tien Shinhan broke free from the constraints of the Void Realm. His four bodies quickly merged into one, then he took a deep breath, slowly widening his hands in front of his chest to gather an immensely powerful energy. His expression became extremely serious, for he knew this move would consume a great deal of his stamina and energy, but at this point, he had no other choice.
"Tri-Beam Cannon!" Tien Shinhan roared, and a massive beam of energy shot out from between his hands. The beam, like a golden dragon, lunged at Shang Yun with its claws outstretched. The energy contained in the Tri-Beam Cannon was extremely powerful, completely ionizing the air along its path and causing it to flash with dazzling sparks.
Shang Yun sensed the devastating power of the Ki Blast Cannon and dared not be careless. Wanting to test its power as well, he didn't use the "Zen Awakening: Spirit Evasion Technique." Instead, he channeled all his true energy into his Void Spirit Domain, instantly solidifying the patterns on its protective shield and making it even brighter. Simultaneously, he pointed with both hands, retracting the Yuan Light Shield that had been hovering around Tien Shinhan, and held it in front of his chest.
The Qi Gong Cannon collided with the Qi Shield of the Void Spirit Domain, producing a huge roar. The Void Spirit Domain was unable to convert this massive energy in time. The Qi Gong Cannon passed through the Void Spirit Domain and hit the Yuan Light Shield, which was already showing cracks. Shang Yun was also forced to retreat repeatedly.
At the center of the energy collision, Tien Shinhan and Shang Yun were both gritting their teeth and doing their best to hold on.
