Chapter 659 - 477: Kung Fu Cripple_2
No harm in picking it up.
If there’s nothing to pick up, create an opportunity to do so.
It’s precisely for this reason that he had the Rolling Turtle slow down a bit and chose a spot where there were dense concentrations of Cannon Beasts to break through.
Ever since the battle between the Dark Cloud Wolves and Aphids, this was the first time Li Pu encountered such a dense distribution of magical beasts.
Unlike last time when he could only watch, this time he could take action himself—er, no, personally command his underlings to act. Clear as he wished, in any direction he desired.
The Ugly Little Wolf, who needed protection back then, was now capable of standing on its own.
[Roar Buh-buh-buh-buh!]
Ugly Little Wolf: Summoner, I’ve defeated too many enemies; I can hardly hold it in!
At this moment, the Ugly Little Wolf turned around to excitedly inform Li Pu that he was overwhelmed with the urge to pee.
"Wait a minute, geez."
Upon hearing this, Li Pu realized things might be a bit dicey.
...
At this very moment, on the Kung Fu Beasts’ camp wall.
"Within the Cannon Beasts... there’s a cripple?"
"Why does it sound kind of familiar?"
"Could it be, is it Kung Fu Cripple?"
Everyone was puzzled after hearing Kung Fu Eagle’s statement.
Kung Fu Cripple was the nickname they gave Li Pu.
In the circles of the Kung Fu realm, only those Kung Fu Beasts whose strength is recognized to a certain degree receive the "Kung Fu" prefix.
"No, definitely not one of our Kung Fu clan."
"He’s not black and white."
Yet Kung Fu Eagle shook its head, denying the possibility.
"..."
Upon hearing this, only the Round Penguin felt its chubby flesh start to sweat.
Because it knew that Li Pu wasn’t originally black and white.
Looks like that kid is back.
But is it really appropriate to stir such a ruckus as soon as he returns?
What the Round Penguin didn’t know was that its unusual behavior had been fully observed by the Venerable Panda nearby.
"Huh? Guys, that big turtle suddenly sped up."
Just as everyone was confused as to why the distant army of Cannon Beasts seemed to have suddenly stopped, Kung Fu Eagle spoke of what he saw.
But before he could finish, everyone else had already witnessed this scene.
A long trail of dust was pulled up, moving at a remarkably fast speed.
"Who exactly is this? Friend or foe?"
"Should we prepare a defense? Shouldn’t we stop it from approaching casually?"
"Such speed! Seems even Kung Fu Leopard isn’t as fast!"
Kung Fu Leopard was a retired former Kung Fu King.
His specialty was speed, unmatched by anyone.
Kung Fu Camel, when newly appointed, had fought him several times but couldn’t win at all. His kite tactics were completely foiled by that speed.
Being compared to Kung Fu Leopard now meant that this turtle was really fast.
Clearly a turtle, yet so extraordinarily quick, truly astonishing.
"Kirin! There’s suddenly a Kirin among the Cannon Beasts!"
At that moment, Kung Fu Eagle suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Kirin, the emblem of Oriental mythical beasts.
In the Kung Fu realm of Oriental cultural circles, these two words are well-known.
Which is why Kung Fu Eagle shouted it out straight away.
But this wasn’t the sole reason for his excitement.
"This Kirin is pure black!"
"Seems like it’s also a Kung Fu Beast!"
Just as Kung Fu Camel, white all over but with a black tongue, pure black or pure white might also be Kung Fu Beasts.
No matter where the other emerged from, appearing as a Kung Fu Qilin in such perilous times truly raised their spirits.
"Kung Fu Qilin?!"
"Do we have a hidden martial arts maestro in our humble place all along!"
"Guys, these damned Cannon Beasts actually dare besiege an elder, shouldn’t we intervene and assist?"
"Let’s go, count me in, Old Pig!"
"I’d like to go too."
"Include me."
However, just as they were about to leap off the wall, Kung Fu Eagle continued his broadcast.
"Wait, it’s trembling all over, seems like it’s about to unleash its power!"
The words made everyone pause.
Unleashing power?
If a high-skilled Kung Fu Beast were to unleash its power, it would definitely be the moment to deploy its ultimate move.
"It... raised a hind leg."
Kung Fu Eagle’s tone suddenly showed disapproval.
Initially thinking the opponent was about to unleash some great move.
Raising a hind leg, what does that even count as.
BOOM!!!!!!!
Yet just as he finished, lightning burst forth in the distance.
The shape of the lightning resembled a blooming flower, or a wave expanding outwards at a 360-degree angle.
The intensity of the lightning was high, so much so that even from such a distance it illuminated their faces.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, unsure of what had just taken place.
The lightning bolt lasted for several dozen seconds, and as it dissipated, it seemed to be accompanied by a loud shout.
[Buwuu~~~~]
Somehow, from this shout, they seemed to sense a feeling of relief.
"Ki... Kirin is gone..."
"Those Cannon Beasts... all fell!"
Kung Fu Eagle was dumbstruck for quite a while before reporting what he saw.
...
"To take a leak, does one really need such a grand ceremony?"
Li Pu commented on Ugly Little Wolf while donning new clothes.
Fortunately, he had sent Wu Guinan and the others away first; otherwise, it could have ended up causing collateral damage.
With the Fire Plier Scorpion absent and no sacrifice targets available, it certainly paid to be extra cautious.
[Roar Buh-buh, Buh-buh Roar!]
Ugly Little Wolf: Summoner, don’t you think releasing oneself in this manner is quite impressive?
Ugly Little Wolf proudly raised its head high.
"Pretty convenient, except it wastes clothes a bit."
Li Pu looked at the pile of incapacitated Cannon Beasts satisfactorily.
The electricity level Ugly Little Wolf just showcased wasn’t enough to destroy them, but mechanical magical beasts of the circuit type often fear high-intensity currents, as they easily cause short circuits.
From the looks of it, these Cannon Beasts may not be dead, but they won’t be waking up anytime soon—totally sitting ducks.
So he started dismantling them one by one nearby to collect core gemstones.
Soon enough, Wu Guinan and the others returned aboard the Rolling Turtle.
"Just in time, lend a hand."
Li Pu beckoned them to help gather.
"Um, something seems off."
"A large group of black and white fellows are heading this way."
Wu Guinan hesitated slightly.
"Really, more helpers have arrived."
Li Pu thought nothing of it.
Indeed, shortly after, Round Penguin arrived with the Kung Fu Kings and high-ranking Kung Fu officials.
Li Pu, busy clearing the battlefield, was naturally spotted right away.
"Hey, isn’t that Kung Fu Cripple."
"But why... he’s not black and white."
"Could it be... "
"Could it be... "
"Could it be... "
Recalling the previous Kung Fu tournament, everyone directed their gaze towards the Round Penguin.
Colluding with outsiders to vie for the King of Kings title, what a serious offense.
Facing these scrutinizing eyes, Round Penguin was inwardly sweating bullets.
Yet it wasn’t unprepared.
"Hey!"
"Venerable Panda, do you plead guilty?"
It turned abruptly towards Kung Fu Panda and sternly accused, "Last tournament, you let a white bear impersonate a Kung Fu clan member. Don’t think I don’t know!"
"Huh?!"
Kung Fu Panda’s mind went blank, surprised at this turn of events.
Last tournament, it did indeed find a polar bear human to participate, though he couldn’t claim the throne.
Thinking nobody knew, how did Round Penguin uncover it?
Judging by its stance, is it trying to drag me down?
Good brothers are all well and good, but the saying "share all burdens" is merely pleasantry, geez.
"But given that the small Kung Fu world is at its life-and-death juncture, the big picture should be prioritized."
"Hence, as the King of Kings, I pardon you!"
"From this day forth, no one is allowed to mention this again."
In the end, Round Penguin asserted righteously.
Everyone: "..."
Turns out this guy simply wants to pardon himself, such shamelessness.
However, at this juncture, this indeed wasn’t the time for pursuing matters.
The small Kung Fu world was nearly gone; what significance does naming a King of Kings hold?
Leaving behind a group of lower-tier Kung Fu Beasts to help collect core gemstones, Round Penguin left with Li Pu and the others.
