Chapter 1742 Chapter 1742. World Conquering Fist

?Domon didn't panic. Before Long's duplicates arrived, two things happened to Domon's body.

The first thing that happened was all the armors on his body were transformed. He was now wearing ornate crimson armor with tiger carvings all over the armor's surfaces. The armor glinted with a fiery white aura. This armor was the result of his Tiger Arms Guardian's level 80 skill, Tiger War God Armor. It enhanced all his defenses as well as his stats. It also projected an aura that buffed all the allies in the vicinity.

The second thing that happened was he became larger. This was not a result of a skill that enlarged his body mass. It was only his muscles that bulged abnormally. Long identified it as the effect of the same martial art he was using, the Muscle Tendon Transformation.

With those buffs, Domon stored his glaive. His two arms moved in circular motions. Though they were not exceptionally fast, they accurately pinpointed all the assaults from Long's Astral Fists. Without expending too much energy, Domon's hands redirected all of Long's fists.

He even slipped in a counterattack after redirecting Long's attacks. A backhand strike onto Long's abdomen followed by a one-inch punch. Long was forced to take several steps back from the strike.

Long's was again alighted with the Nine Yang Restoration. The HP he lost from all the hits he received was quickly recovered.

"Tai chi fist… As expected from the former number-one martial artist," Long uttered with a sneer.

"Former? I very much think that no one has yet to take that title from me. Especially not a brat like you," Domon returned.

"Hehe. Tough words, old geezer, but I'm more surprised by you using my master's martial art. Did he teach you that art?"

"He did," Domon replied.

Long turned to Wong who was still struggling with the Celestial Lindworm. He said, "I'm disappointed in you, master. Didn't you teach me that a martial artist's purpose is to defeat his enemies? Giving your art to your rival. You have truly become weak. Pah! I am ashamed that you were once my master."

"A disciple who disrespects his master is nothing short of a waste, no matter how strong he has become," Domon preached.

"Save your outdated philosophy to yourself, old man," Long uttered. His body shot forward at high speed while his fist was aflame as if a comet. It was one of the non-standard battle monk's skills he possessed, Comet Fist.

Domon's glaive was back in his hand. His left hand used Tai Chi Fist to redirect Long's comet fist while the glaive in his right hand slashed at Long's neck.

The glaive was stopped when Long caught its blade using two fingers. With one hand disabling Domon's glaive, Long's free hand used Infinite Lightning Punches. Domon's left hand executed Eight Gates Illusory Palms. Blurry images of palms and fists collided as the two contested at close range.

"Grrhh…," Wong was still busy with the celestial lindworm.

The lindworm was unwilling to let go of its entanglement, and Wong also didn't let go of his grip. The lindworm tried shooting its poisonous breath at Wong. But using his strength, Wong forcefully turned the lindworm's head away so the poison breath was directed away from him. The lindworm tightened its coil on Wong's body, attempting to deal damage, but Wong's Steel Body and Muscle Tendon Transformation resisted its strength. None of the two received any damage. They remained in a stalemate until a spin kick slapped the lindworm at its neck.

Murong had recovered enough by using Meditate and came to Wong's aid. With the interruption, Wong added another punch to the side of the lindworm's head. The lindworm's grip on his body became loosened after those two strikes. Wong freed himself by jumping out from the lindworm's loosened grip. He then gave the lindworm a flying spin kick right on its head.

The lindworm was reeling from the multiple strikes on its head. While it was still unbalanced, Murong charged at it using her Fifty Shades of Death. She combined it with Battle Monk's infinite lighting punches, creating unending torrents of different styles of strikes.

"Go! I will deal with this serpent!" Murong said to Wong. As much as she hated to admit it, Long was too powerful for her. She didn't think Domon and Wong were better martial artists than her, but they had better equipment and bloodlines. They stood a better chance of winning against Long.

Wong didn't argue. He used Rogue's light foot and rushed to where Domon and Long were tussling. Domon had activated the Weapons Festival. Considering Long's superior strength and speed, he was unable to keep up with the close-range exchange. The melee weapons he conjured helped keep Long from landing a hit on him.

Long saw Wong approaching. When Wong was near, Long uttered, "This is getting tiresome. Let me send you two to heaven!"

Long punched upward. Domon felt the mana converging. He wanted to jump away but realized that whatever skill Long was using covered a large area.

*BOOM!*

The ground below the three shone before it cracked and shattered. A huge image of a fist burst out of the shattered ground. Long was unaffected by this giant fist but both Domon and Wong were swept up by an overwhelming force.

What Long used was the level 80 skill from his Fist Lord class, World Conquering Fist. After sweeping up its target, the giant fist exploded in a brilliant light. Domon and Wong received tremendous damage from the explosion. If the two didn't have defensive buffs on them, they would have died from this explosion.

Domon still had around half his HP left because of his Tiger War God Armor. Wong was protected by Steel Body and Ape King Vitality, but his life was still reduced to below twenty percent.

When the two were still disoriented from the blast, Long appeared above Wong.

"So long, master. This will be the third time I defeat you," Long said. His fist punched down and struck Wong in the chest, taking another chunk of Wong's HP. Long flapped his dragon wings. With his fist still on Wong's chest, Long drove Wong's body down. Wong's body slammed hard into the ground at high speed. The impact should no doubt take out Wong's remaining HP.
