CHAPTER 569: CHAPTER 533: COME AGAIN

"Saint Seiya!"

As the words fell, the singing outside again reached its climax. Amid the passionate singing, Iimoto Ryosuke drew his sword from its sheath, stretched his body to the limit, held the sword with both hands, and slashed towards Wu Li.

Windward Slash!

This slash from Iimoto Ryosuke could be said to have taken advantage of the perfect timing, location, and harmony, using the singing outside as a ’borrowed momentum’ which symbolized the martial spirit of a nation, the indomitable will of tens of thousands of people!

Faced with this slash, Wu Li chose to momentarily dodge its sharp edge and stepped back.

Seeing Wu Li step back, Iimoto Ryosuke’s momentum soared, while the Hua Country martial artists present changed their expressions.

It was known that whether facing Sword Saint Nakakino Osamu or those experts who had come before, Wu Li had never retreated even a single step!

"Could it be that Wu Li is also under pressure from the momentum?"

Many people grew worried in their hearts. If Wu Li was truly under pressure from the momentum, his performance would inevitably be affected. And now, fighting unarmed against a weapon, even if he didn’t lose, even just getting injured could be very detrimental to the battles to follow!

Moreover, momentum is such that if one side is weak, the other grows stronger. In this environment, if Wu Li chooses to yield, it would only embolden his opponent further.

Indeed, accompanied by the stirring song, Iimoto Ryosuke’s slashes became faster and faster, his momentum growing increasingly stronger, far exceeding his usual performance!

Meanwhile, Wu Li continuously maintained a defensive stance, apparently unable to counterattack.

After a dozen slashes, Iimoto Ryosuke let out a long howl and delivered his most powerful slash, seemingly intending to cut Wu Li in two!

And just as the onlookers stared in horror, Wu Li suddenly burst into laughter and stretched out a hand to strike the blade.

Clang!

The long sword in Iimoto Ryosuke’s hand shook uncontrollably. He looked at Wu Li incredulously, as Wu Li laughed and said,

"One is not enough, give me another!"

After speaking, he surprisingly left Iimoto Ryosuke behind, took a step forward, and threw a punch towards another person standing behind.

The person chosen by Wu Li was Haga Hiroshi, the Lifetime Honorary Instructor of the Kyokushin Karate Association. Startled at first, facing Wu Li’s rushing punch, he dare not get distracted and immediately burst out with full force, throwing punches forward.

Bang!

The two collided heavily; Haga Hiroshi froze on the spot, while Wu Li quickly turned around to face Iimoto Ryosuke again.

When Haga Hiroshi recovered, he hesitated for a moment, then also stepped forward to make a move.

"This..."

The other Hua Country martial artists watching the fight exchanged glances, not understanding why Wu Li would take such risks.

It was clear that the five men were all performing beyond their normal levels. Even in a rotational battle, it would not be easy to defeat all five without sustaining injuries, let alone fight two at once?

However, this was not the end. After a few exchanges, Wu Li shouted again,

"Bring it on!"

The remaining three martial artists from Japan looked at each other, and one of them, without hesitating, quickly joined the siege.

The five of them fought as if carrying a coffin to battle, disregarding life and death, no longer caring about face. Besides, this was Wu Li’s own choice. If they could win against Wu Li or seriously injure him in the end, it would be an unexpected joy!

The three surrounded Wu Li; though Wu Li defended more than he attacked, he appeared to be in a precarious position. However, after a few moves, Wu Li shouted again,

"Bring it on!"

The fourth Master immediately joined the siege without hesitation.

"What is Master Wu trying to do?"

Among the Hua Country martial artists watching, someone asked in a low voice.

"He seems to be intentionally pushing himself into danger?"

"Why is that?"

"To seek a breakthrough?"

It had to be said, these people’s realm and vision were quite good as they roughly guessed Wu Li’s intentions.

Indeed, it was Wu Li’s intent to use this opportunity to seek a breakthrough!

In an environment of a chorus of ten thousand people, the mental pressure was already enormous, let alone the fact that all five Japanese Masters had entered the state of "Borrowing Momentum," performing beyond their usual capabilities. Even with Wu Li’s current realm and strength, he felt immense pressure.

This pressure was exactly what Wu Li wanted; he aimed to use this chance to elevate his Divine Value to the peak of the Grandmaster Level, or even higher!

And he wasn’t acting recklessly; instead, he had the five men join the attack one by one, gradually adapting to the pressure.

"Bring it on!"

As his voice fell, the final Japanese Master also joined the onslaught.

Five Masters were assaulting Wu Li!

The situation was far more perilous than when Wu Li faced Luo Bin and the other five because, this time, one of the five men wielded a knife, and all were performing beyond their usual abilities!

What was even more deadly was that Wu Li had called each person one by one, giving those at the front enough time to adapt and coordinate in combat; their attacks now appeared to be very rhythmic.

"Saint Seiya!"

Outside, another chorus of ten thousand reached its climax, and the five Masters, in perfect harmony, took the opportunity to strike simultaneously, reaching a new peak with their techniques and spirit!

In that instant, the watching crowd’s faces changed color, and Wu Li felt alone against a terrifying tidal wave, the immense mental pressure surpassing any he had experienced before!

Wu Li took a deep breath, his chest and abdomen swelling, then he opened his mouth, and a massive wave of sound emitted:

"Kill!"

The sound was like thunder from a clear sky, shaking the entire Martial Arts Hall, and even overpowering the singing from the front rows, causing the people in the front to unconsciously widen their eyes, staring in surprise at the doors of the Martial Arts Hall.

Inside the hall, as Wu Li roared, his muscles suddenly swelled, his bones stretched, and his clothes, stretched tight, nearly split apart, but he was using Heavenly Tilt!

Bang!

Wu Li stomped on the ground, and it seemed as if the whole Martial Arts Hall shook. He then stepped forward, raising both hands high, and two Heavenly Punishments smashed down simultaneously!

Although the five Japanese Masters attacked Wu Li at the same time, Wu Li noticed subtle differences in the timing of their attacks and took advantage of this to strike at two of them first.

Using Heavenly Tilt and unleashing Fist Intent-heavy moves like Heavenly Punishment, he matched the combined strength of the five, and with two punches, two figures shot back as if hit by cannonballs!

Bang! Bang!

As Wu Li turned to dodge Iimoto Ryosuke, his back took a punch and a kick from the remaining two, but he was currently in the state of Heavenly Tilt, with the Golden Bell Shield’s defense absolutely at the Grandmaster Level, so he didn’t even flinch after taking the hits.

Wu Li stepped forward, striking Iimoto Ryosuke’s sword, knocking it out of his hand, then followed up with another palm strike, sending Iimoto Ryosuke flying before turning to face the last two men.

The last two men also erupted with all their strength, recklessly attacking Wu Li, who pushed out with both palms, unleashing two Reverse Sumeru moves, clashing head-on with them.

Boom!

After the move, the two men stiffened, influenced by Wu Li’s Innate Gang Qi, and Wu Li quickly followed up with two punches, sending both flying.

In the blink of an eye, five Masters were knocked down!

As everyone regained their senses, all five were lying on the coffins at the back.

Wu Li let out a breath, his face showing a satisfied expression.

"Is there anyone else who wishes to fight?!"
