He unleashed his full power, with nothing held back except the golden dragon in his dantian. His entire being was suffused with spiritual energy as he applied all his understanding, every move, and his killing techniques honed over the years.
He even targeted the puppet's most vulnerable joints.
Yet, the puppet's reaction speed surpassed his comprehension.
He even sensed that the puppet was anticipating some of his movements.
This must be due to the data Qi Tian had collected earlier.
Furthermore, he felt that if this continued, he would be pushed back by the puppet if he didn't find an opening.
Not good.
Lin Xiao finally became completely focused, his entire body relaxing almost simultaneously, every pore under his control.
"Hm?"
Qi Tian observed the data on his computer. What was Lin Xiao trying to do? Was he giving up resistance?
That couldn't be right.
He didn't say anything. His puppet was already attacking with full force.
If Lin Xiao was letting his guard down at this moment, with less than half a meter between them, his puppet, with its powerful propulsion system, could punch through Lin Xiao's body.
He wouldn't stop.
Qi Tian had never said this was a game. If Lin Xiao chose to give up now, without even uttering a word, he wouldn't hold back. If Lin Xiao died then, so be it.
His death would merely indicate his own flawed judgment, nothing more.
Lin Xiao seemed to have entered a very special state. The world appeared to change in his eyes.
Countless light spots appeared around him, and directly in front of him, the puppet was charging at him, stepping on the light spots between them.
It was even accelerating.
This was Lin Xiao's judgment. In his perception, the puppet would accelerate further, and just as it was about to touch him, it would increase its speed by at least three times.
The light spots surrounding him represented the area that the puppet's attacks would cover.
Behind him was a large expanse of light spots. He knew that if he retreated, he would be drawn into an endless passive state, and this bout would be over.
Therefore, he would not retreat.
Advancing was his strategy.
Almost in a single thought, Lin Xiao took half a step forward, and this half-step made Qi Tian's eyes widen.
In that instant, he felt something different. Although the data on the computer didn't show it, he sensed it.
This Lin Xiao… had actually entered that state.
As Lin Xiao advanced, his hands moved to deflect the puppet's punch, then followed through. Simultaneously, his body, like boneless silk, used the force of the attack to move to the puppet's side. He pushed, lifted his leg, and unleashed a burst of power.
His palm landed on the puppet's waist, and as he lifted his leg, his foot landed on the puppet's knee joint.
Not only that, but his burst of power also unleashed three waves of force, like a surging tide, erupting instantly.
With Lin Xiao's palm strike, the puppet's body didn't fly away, but it lost its balance and fell to the ground.
However…
As the puppet fell, it shattered into pieces.
The outer parts seemed fine, but the internal components were completely pulverized.
