Chapter 61: The Forbidden Technique
"Is that all you\'ve got?" Shen Wu taunted, his voice cold. "I thought you were stronger, Li Tian."
Li Tian smirked, sweat beading his forehead. Despite the relentless onslaught, he remained calm. He had fought countless battles, faced impossible odds before, and always came out on top. Shen Wu was a dangerous foe, but Li Tian hadn\'t even revealed his full power yet.
He raised his hand, and golden energy began to swirl around his body. The pressure of his aura intensified as he activated a technique he had been saving for moments like this—Divine Tempest Palm. His hands shimmered with golden light as he launched the attack forward.
"Take this!" Li Tian shouted.
The golden palm blasted through the air, ripping through Shen Wu\'s tendrils with ease and heading straight for him. The moment it hit, the ground exploded in a burst of light, dust and debris shooting into the sky. A deafening boom echoed through the forest as the attack landed, shaking the entire area.
Li Tian watched carefully, waiting to see the result. The dust settled slowly, revealing Shen Wu, standing in the middle of the blast zone, his body radiating dark energy. He looked... unscathed.
"You\'re strong," Shen Wu admitted, his eyes glinting with a dark, sadistic amusement. "But strength won\'t be enough to defeat me."
[Task: Defeat Shen Wu\'s Dark Domain.]
[Progress: 50%.]
[New Reward Update: Forbidden Technique: Chaos Breaker Fist.]
Li Tian\'s mind raced as the system chimed in. This was his chance. He needed to end this fight quickly before Shen Wu\'s power grew even more overwhelming. The Chaos Breaker Fist... just the name alone filled him with anticipation. But using a forbidden technique always came with a price.
Shen Wu\'s laugh pulled him out of his thoughts. "What\'s the matter? Running out of tricks?"
Li Tian\'s eyes narrowed. "Not even close."
With that, he tapped into the system\'s reward and activated Chaos Breaker Fist. His entire body surged with power, energy pulsing through his veins like liquid fire. His fists glowed with a strange, ethereal light—one that seemed to crackle with chaotic, unstable energy.
Shen Wu\'s smirk faltered slightly, sensing the change in Li Tian\'s aura. "What...?"
Li Tian didn\'t wait for him to react. In an instant, he charged forward, his fists trailing light as he moved faster than Shen Wu could follow. The ground cracked beneath his feet with each step, his overwhelming speed and strength leaving shockwaves in his wake.
With a single, fluid motion, he swung his fist toward Shen Wu, who barely had time to raise a defense. The moment Li Tian\'s punch connected, the entire battlefield lit up with an explosion of energy. The chaos unleashed by the strike was immense—unruly, wild, and uncontrollable.
Shen Wu was sent flying back, crashing through several trees before finally hitting the ground with a sickening thud.
Li Tian stood in the middle of the battlefield, panting heavily. The forbidden technique had drained a significant portion of his energy, but it had been worth it. Shen Wu wasn\'t getting up anytime soon.
The forest was eerily silent, save for the crackling remnants of energy left behind by the battle. Li Tian cautiously approached Shen Wu\'s fallen form, his body still radiating power from the Chaos Breaker Fist.
Shen Wu groaned, blood trickling down his face as he struggled to lift his head. "Impossible... How... did you...?"
Li Tian stopped a few feet away from him, his gaze cold. "You underestimated me."
Shen Wu\'s laugh was weak, but still there. "It seems I did... But this isn\'t over, Li Tian. Not by a long shot."
With those words, Shen Wu\'s body dissolved into a cloud of dark energy, vanishing into the night. Li Tian cursed under his breath. It was some kind of escape technique—he should have known.
[Task Complete: Overcome Shen Wu\'s Dark Domain.]
[Reward: Forbidden Technique—Chaos Breaker Fist.]
[New Task: Pursue Shen Wu\'s Shadow.]
[Reward: Enhanced Tracking Skill.]
Li Tian let out a deep breath, his body slowly relaxing. The fight was over for now, but Shen Wu had escaped. There was no doubt in his mind that they would meet again. But when they did, he would be ready.
Back at the Li family estate, Li Tian returned to his room, his body aching from the intense battle. He had barely closed the door behind him when the system chimed in once again.
[New Task: Train to Master Chaos Breaker Fist.]
[Reward: Increased Attack Power.]
Li Tian sighed. It seemed there would be no rest for him anytime soon.
