Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality

A coastline somewhere in Japan.

As dusk settles, a seaside hotel stands on the edge of a cliff.

Inside the hotel, Li Chenzhou sat cross-legged in meditation, his breathing deep and focused.

In the battle at the Tokyo Kodokan, five grandmasters were killed, and the spirit of the Japanese martial arts world was crushed.

At this moment, his mind was clear, and he prepared to cross the ocean to continue honing his skills and make the final preparations for breaking through to the Gang Jin level.

The air was still, and a sense of oppression permeated the atmosphere.

This silence is the prelude to a deadly trap.

Outside the hotel, on the rocky beach, Xuan Yang lay motionless like a stubborn rock, devoid of any life. He had been lying in wait for this moment for several days.

Li Chenzhou was deep in thought, barely perceiving the fleeting moments of the outside world.

"Target locked! Target confirmed inside the hotel. All units, proceed as planned, ensure a fatal strike!"

Xuan Yang issued a command into the communicator hidden in his ear.

This is not a challenge for the samurai, but an assassination attempt by the enemy.

Do it!

Xuan Yang didn't get close; that would be suicide. He emerged from behind the reef, carrying a single-soldier anti-tank rocket launcher on his shoulder.

Whoosh—boom!

The sound of a rocket tearing through the sea breeze followed a fiery exhaust.

They rushed straight at Li Chenzhou.

An explosion sent the hotel soaring into the sky, reducing it to a shower of debris.

Boom!

Following closely behind were the second and third.

The rocket crashed down, turning the surrounding area within tens of meters into a sea of ​​fire.

This is just the beginning.

On the distant sea, two armed patrol boats broke through the waves, their rapid-fire cannons roaring and spitting fire.

High-explosive charges covered the hotel ruins and the surrounding beach, with continuous bursts of flames.

Further away, two main battle tanks crushed the highway guardrails, their dark, smoothbore gun muzzles locking onto the area.

The turret was slightly adjusted, emitting a hydraulic hum!

Xuan Yang stood at a safe distance, a smug look on his face.

The graveyard has been activated, with rocket fire, armed boat fire suppression, and tank main gun sniping.

Triple kill!

He didn't believe anyone could survive such a blow.

Li Chenzhou is doomed!

He Xuan Yang will rebuild the Black Dragon Society by stepping on the corpse of this evil god.

however!

In the heart of the ruins, a figure soared into the sky.

Li Chenzhou!

His clothes were torn in many places, but there was no blood on them.

A layer of viscous airflow, visible to the naked eye, surrounded him—a sign that his internal energy had been pushed to its limit.

The shockwave and deadly shrapnel were forcefully repelled by this layer of air.

His eyes burned with fighting spirit, and his long roar overwhelmed the roar of cannons, soaring straight into the sky:

"This junk isn't enough!"

Before the whistle had faded, Li Chenzhou took the Yu Step, his figure becoming blurred.

It wasn't just simple dodging; it was moving forward in a zigzag pattern amidst fire and bullets.

He seemed to be able to predict where the shells would land, and with each step he took, he narrowly avoided the rockets whizzing past him.

Bang bang bang!

Several high-explosive shells exploded beside him, the shockwaves dispersed by his internal energy, only causing his clothes to flutter wildly.

He rushed out of the rocket's range and instantly locked onto two armed boats on the sea that were unleashing a barrage of fire.

Braving a hail of bullets, Li Chenzhou traversed the waves.

Each time his feet touched the water's surface, a huge ripple would erupt, and his body, like an arrow released from a bow, would leave a long white trail on the sea.

Those cannonballs, powerful enough to tear through steel, stirred up towering columns of water behind him, but they were always a step too late!

In the blink of an eye, he had closed to within ten meters of an armed boat.

"broken!"

Li Chenzhou exhaled and stomped his foot hard.

A piece of floating charred wood exploded with a loud bang.

He used the momentum to leap into the air and crashed violently onto the deck of the speeding armed boat.

The soldiers on the boat were terrified and turned their guns around.

But Li Chenzhou was even faster!

A trail of afterimages was left on the narrow deck.

Fists, palms, fingers, elbows—every part of the body becomes a deadly weapon.

Click!

puff!

The sounds of bones shattering, flesh flying, and screams of agony filled the air...

Those elite soldiers fell like harvested wheat.

His objective was clear: he headed straight for the cockpit weapons control panel.

boom!

One punch shattered the bulletproof glass compartment.

boom!

Click!

With another punch, the weapon control console and its operator were reduced to a pile of scrap metal and minced meat.

Whoosh!

The final kick was like a powerful dragon stomping down.

He stomped the entire armed boat in half, causing seawater to rush in.

Without even glancing at it, Li Chenzhou soared into the sky once more, lunging towards the other ship!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The tanks on the shore spotted him, and high-explosive shells came hurtling towards him.

The explosion sent a towering column of water shooting into the sky from the sea where Li Chenzhou had just left.

Li Chenzhou, suspended in mid-air, faced the second tank shell hurtling towards him, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

He didn't dodge or evade; instead, he twisted his body in mid-air in an unbelievable way, his waist and hips like a dragon, his right leg like a mountain-splitting axe, slashing fiercely at the side of the high-speed flying shell.

Boom-!

Loud bang!

It's like a god beating a drum!

Huge ripples spread across the sea. The shell, powerful enough to destroy light armor, was struck and exploded in mid-air by Li Chenzhou's whip-like leg strike imbued with internal energy.

Flames exploded in front of him, but were blocked by his internal energy shield.

"He's a devil! He's a devil!"

Through the thermal imaging sight, the crew inside the tank witnessed this inhuman scene, which terrified them so much that their hands and feet went cold.

Li Chenzhou used the recoil from the explosion to move even faster.

He swiftly crashed onto the second armed boat, the same killing, the same efficiency.

Within moments, the second armed boat also turned into wreckage and sank into the sea.

Having dealt with the threat at sea, Li Chenzhou's gaze pierced through the smoke of battle, fixing on the two tanks on the shore and the pale-faced man—

On Xuan Yang's body!

"Gen-Yang! It's your turn!"

Li Chenzhou moved swiftly, stepping on the waves and rushing towards the shore.

It moved so fast that it left a white line on the sea surface.

"Stop him! Full firepower! Covert fire!"

The commander on the shore let out a desperate roar, his voice distorted.

The remaining rockets, tank shells, and heavy machine guns and sniper rifles ambushed from the high ground wove together an even more frenzied net of fire, overwhelming and pouring down on the figure riding the waves.

Li Chenzhou let out a deafening roar.

The Yu Step and protective aura were pushed to their limits.

His figure weaved through the giant waves and rain of bullets, sometimes twisting and turning strangely to avoid direct fire from the main gun, sometimes skimming along the ground to dodge machine gun fire. When there was no way to avoid the rockets and shells, he would blast them into the air with his heavy punches or whip kicks.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The entire coastline was completely transformed into a living hell.

Explosions continued in succession, and the smoke was so thick that it blotted out the sky.

The sand and gravel were melted into a glassy state by the high temperature, the seawater was dyed blackish-red, and fragments of limbs and steel floated on the water.

Amidst the deafening explosion, Li Chenzhou's figure was forcefully propelled onto the beach.

His target was clear: the two tanks.

"Crush him!"

The tank commander's eyes widened in fury as he roared.

The tank turret spun wildly, and the coaxial machine guns spewed fire.

Li Chenzhou's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he charged straight forward without dodging or avoiding.

As he approached the first tank, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and the hard sand exploded, creating a crater several meters in diameter.

He shot up like an armor-piercing bullet, leaping onto the top of the tank's turret.

Boom!

A deep, thunderous roar.
