That will in place of him controlled his limbs, body, and willpower, and at this moment, it was in perfect harmony with the thoughts in his heart. The same fighting spirit surged, fierce and unyielding, with an indomitable will.

It also completely brought every piece of his flesh and blood, every bit of his body, under control.

Just at this moment, a silver hook chain suddenly darted through the crowd. His figure, however, did not dodge or evade, letting the hook latch onto his arm.

Adam Carter's heart gave a thud and sank to the bottom; he thought to himself that he was utterly doomed.

Yet his right foot, beyond his own control, suddenly stomped down. Instantly, earth and stone shattered, and the roar of a tiger erupted.

His arm shook and pulled, unleashing tremendous force. In the distance, Edward Lewis couldn't keep his footing and was forcibly dragged flying toward him.

At his side, the "Wind Blade" Jack Grant was startled, swinging both blades to slash at Adam Carter's hands, which were entangled by the hook chain.

But the latter paid it no mind, directly throwing a punch. Dragon Subduing Strike—Shaking the Dragon!

The angle and posture of the punch were slightly different from before. In addition to the dragon's roar, there was also a tiger's roar! Fierce and domineering, the punch landed on the blade, making his hands go numb, almost unable to hold on.

At this moment, everyone present, including Adam Carter himself, was shocked!

Dragon's roar and tiger's howl—this was Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming!

Chapter 5: Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming

Adam Carter's fist was still wrapped in qi like a dragon, and with each swing, it was like a ferocious spear sweeping through the air. His entire presence and aura now resembled a tiger or leopard, like a king of the forest.

If the twelve dragon roars of the Dragon Subduing Strike meant he had just begun to grasp the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming Fist,

then the sound of both dragon's roar and tiger's howl meant he had truly entered the gate. Legend had it that once the fist technique reached this level, even cultivators at the first or second level of Qi Refining could face it head-on!

Those present—Harold Stone, Henry Ford, and Jack Grant—had all experienced countless battles and knew a thing or two about the martial arts of the world. They had vaguely heard of the levels of the Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming Fist. While not the most supreme external martial art in Eastern Wu, it was firmly among the top tier, and even renowned throughout all the nations of Tianyi.

However, the dragon's roar and tiger's howl was, after all, just a legend. In Eastern Wu, it had not been heard of for decades before the Qi Refining stage. After reaching Qi Refining, most cultivators would switch to other techniques.

So it remained a rumor, rarely witnessed firsthand.

But just now, Jack Grant was forced back by that Shaking Dragon Strike, which was pure and without trickery, enough to prove its power!

In that strike, Jack Grant had held nothing back, giving his all. Both his blade technique and strength were at their peak. Yet in the end, he was still injured by a single punch from Adam Carter. Such strength had already completely surpassed the limits of a Bone Refining stage martial artist!

Even Adam Carter himself was slightly shocked and dazed. He had previously tried to integrate the seventy-two forms of the Tiger Taming Fist into the Dragon Subduing Strike, but to no avail. He only became more familiar with both sets of fists, but usually ended up with improper cultivation and blocked qi and blood. Yet now, under the control of this mysterious will, his body was coordinated beyond words. Effortlessly, he had fused the two fist techniques into one!

This was the feeling—using Tiger Taming as the foundation, Dragon Subduing as the force!

Was this the dragon's roar and tiger's howl? Was this the true Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming?

Just as he was lost in thought, to his right, the "Axe Butcher" Henry Ford was already swinging two sixty-jin iron axes in a horizontal sweep.

Although Adam Carter himself was still in a daze, his body naturally reacted. Controlled by that will, he stepped with incredibly subtle footwork, sliding to the right. Dragon's stride, tiger's step—like a swift tiger, or a walking tyrannosaurus. Not only did he narrowly dodge the twin axes, but he also forced his way into the "Axe Butcher" Henry Ford's embrace.

Everyone present changed color at the same time, showing expressions of shock and fear.

Dragon Subduing and Tiger Taming—Shaking the Dragon!

With a tiger's roar, a ferocious shoulder slam crashed into the Axe Butcher's chest. The two layers of iron armor shattered first, then the entire chest caved inward. The man seemed to be struck head-on by a battering ram, sent flying dozens of yards away, smashing through several walls, vanishing in a cloud of dust—his fate unknown.

Harold Stone's tiger eyes widened, and he drew a sharp breath. He swung both fists, originally aiming to strike Adam Carter's temples from both sides, intending to crush his skull in a four-man joint attack.

But at that moment, he immediately sensed danger and instinctively withdrew his fists and leapt back.

He felt that Adam Carter now was a completely different person from before—his aura fierce, his strength so overwhelming it was terrifying!

"This guy is strange—everyone, fall back!"

Although Harold Stone practiced a hardening technique, after twenty years of cultivation, his lightness skill and footwork were far superior to ordinary people.

His figure was burly, but he moved like a startled rabbit. In an instant, he darted ten yards back. The crossbowmen behind him also cooperated, firing twenty bolts in unison to cover Harold Stone.
