Plan backfired (2)

[Tai Lung's POV]

"FIRE!!!"

Six dragon-shaped cannons exploded consecutively, spewing fire followed by searing orbs made out of metal.

The cannon balls flew at me, slicing through the air and leaving a wave of heat and shockwave in their path.

Not a single thing was spared and they shot out so violently that everything which came in contact with them was destroyed.

I entered inner peace and the destruction-shaped spheres, slowed down to a crawl from my perspective. If a newly awakened Po with inner peace could deal with this, I was overqualified for it.

I unfolded my arms and relaxed my muscles to imitate waves as I got ready to face the cannons. Multiple balls of metal shot toward me and without an once of fear, I reached out my hand to intercept the first one.

An action of a madman.

My Chi became water that flows along my body and my muscles also relaxed to become flexible like liquid. So that when the ball reached my hand, I was able to control the trajectory and force behind it.

The ball of metal that shot toward me at the speed of 300+ miles per hour became a normal sphere in my hands as I spun around to control it. My hands shone with brilliance and I left a trail of white light when I moved my hands.

Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.

It was not a unique concept to me. To use the power of your opponent, and to fight force with finesse instead of fighting force with force.

To flow like water, to be extremely adaptable but to also have the capacity to crash. It was a concept I was more than familiar with.

So it was not hard for me to recreate.

I spun around and threw the cannonball back at the cannon which shot it. An explosion destroyed the weapon of fire and steel.

I did the same thing to the four other cannons with their own ammunition that followed.

I moved with the elegance of water but when necessary, I crashed like a waterfall. My hands became a blur of white as each stroke of my arms redirected and controlled the violent force behind the cannonballs.

The Gorillas that handled the weapons were knocked out due to the forceful shockwaves as their own weapon had turned against them.

I used a different approach for the last shot though as I twirled my hand around the flying metal. Then I used my hand to redirect all of its force into its rotation. (Shaolin Soccer Style)

I put the ball on top of one of my fingers and let it spin there like a basketball. I looked at my work with a smile before I turned my eyes towards Shen.

His eyes were wide and in absolute disbelief. The weapons which he had created to destroy Kung Fu was easily dealt with by Kung Fu.

I scoffed and continued making the cannonball spin on my finger, "Was that really it? Do you think that would be enough to stop me?"

"That's Impossible." Shen muttered in disbelief.

I tossed the spinning cannonball in the air and caught it with the finger on my other hand. I slapped it to make the ball spin faster.

"Yeah. But remarkable people like me can achieve the impossible." I said with a smile. "Although if we can do it, it shouldn't really be called impossible. It's impossible to do the impossible."

Huh, shower thoughts.

Shen was rooted in his place for a long time before he gritted his beak and turned around to leave. He abandoned everything since he knew survival was his main goal now.

'Oh no you don't!' I thought to myself before taking a step forward and I planted my feet on the ground, causing cracks to form.

There was this one sport in my past life where it was basically just throwing a ball at each other and batting. It was just a sport but many generations of athletes had dedicated their lives to refining the act of throwing a ball until the technique became unrivalled.

Kung Fu was not only limited to combat or martial arts.

A true Kung Fu master knows that 'Everything is Kung Fu'.

I used my knowledge of that sport to execute the perfect throw as the cannon exploded out and broke the sound barrier before it returned right where it came from.

The action caused a huge explosion as a consequence and the cannon exploded. The fire and heat soon caused the other gunpowder in the house to catch on fire as another wave of explosion erupted.

A shockwave strong enough that it could uproot trees descended on the earth and I crouched down to not be blown away. The giant explosion swallowed everything in its vicinity and the earth experienced its first man-made calamity.

The explosion of a bomb.

*BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!*

I slowly rose amongst the smoke and dust caused by the explosion. The searing air of the aftermath hit my fur and the charred earth burned my foot.

The thick smoke blocked my view so I spun around and used the Crane-style Kung Fu to disperse the smoke. I whipped my arms like wings and with a roar, a shockwave erupted from me and cleared all the smoke and derbies.

My ears were constantly ringing due to the loud explosion and I felt disoriented. Maybe it was not such a good idea to do that after all.

I looked around and the bodies of the wolf soldiers and gorillas greeted me. I rubbed my eyes and I quickly scanned the surroundings in search of Shen but I did not see a single white feather.

My nose twitched as I tried to find Shen's scent but I was unable to. Even using inner peace did not help as the smell of burnt objects and gunpowder numbed my sense of smell. It would require more than a small miracle to be able to track Shen right now.

I let out a sigh and kicked a pebble. Did I just let him get away while trying to stop him? Maybe I should have just thrown the cannonball at him.

But Shen was a master of Hing Kung, a style that can make him weightless and allow him to fly. The same Kung Fu Shifu specialize in and I was afraid he would use the momentum of the cannon to simple fly away with his weightlessness.

"No use crying over spilt milk." I said to myself. It's not like it would be useful to track him again after this. Technically, Shen was not a criminal as his punishment for massacring the Panda Village was being banished.

So if I did not catch him red-handed like I had the chance to do just now, it would be a useless endeavour to go after him.

Imagine being merely banished for committing a village size genocide. But I was left to be imprisoned for life in a cave, alone and paralyzed for a much weaker case.

Must be nice to be a Prince and to be so harmless.

Just kidding. I was kind of proud that even Oogway himself saw me as such a threat that I needed to be put away for life. If it was ten years or a small punishment, I would've definitely come back for vengeance and I would be too powerful to be stopped.

"The plan to get a good reputation by saving the city proves to be unsuccessful." I said to myself in a sad tone before my voice quickly gained back its vigour, "Moving on!!"

I walked back to the path that I came from and picked up my bag before flinging it on my shoulder. Then I continued my journey.

But a question popped into my mind. Where should I go?

I could go South from here and head towards Dali in the Yunnan Province which was said to be the current home of Master Tiger - another old foe by the way - or I could continue West and head to the Nanzhao Kingdom where a new Master had risen while I was in prison.

He was in the same generation as Wubao and he called himself Mighty Eagle rather than a master.

'I hope he is not the Mighty Eagle that comes to mind' I thought to myself. That would be rather disappointing.

In one of the scrolls written by Oogway near the end of Oogway's life, Mighty Eagle and his newfound Kung Fu style were mentioned.

Oogway describes him as a giant eagle with a heart for Justice and a deep obsession with freedom.

That is not the important part though as Oogway stated that he was one of the most powerful masters he had ever seen. Mighty Eagle had the strength to cut down mountains with a flap of his wings.

It would definitely be interesting to meet the youngster.

In the end, I could not decide which one I should go to so I picked up a stick from the road and let it balance with my finger. Then I let it go and the stick fell down, the place where he pointed was where I would be going.

"Hmmm." I hummed when I saw the direction the stick was pointing. It was neither south nor west but the east.

"What is in the east?" I said to myself and pondered for a while before a certain Chameleon popped into my mind.

Juniper City was on the East Coast of China. I could go there and visit Juniper City as I have never been there before. That was a place for criminals and since no worthy foes were there, I was never interested in that place.

I have no desire to fight the Chameleon either because I did not consider her a real Kung Fu master. She was a thief and cheap copycat.

But it would be nice to beat her up. It could be a way to reclaim my honour for what happened to me in the fourth movie.

Which by the way, did not exist according to many fans including myself in my past life.

"So East it is." I said with a smile and was about to head East.

But before I could even prepare, I felt a sudden shift of air from behind. My ears were still ringing and my other sense had been messed up by the explosion so someone managed to nearly sneak up from behind.

Fortunately, after mastering inner peace and becoming one with the world so frequently, I could sense the world around me in more ways than just the physical senses.

I immediately entered inner peace and I did not even have to let my Chi out as the miracle I needed was within my own body.

I did the opposite of when I used Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and I let my muscles tensed up to the limit. I stopped my blood flow and heartbeat as my muscles bulged out and became solid in my body.

'Tekkai!!'

The super defence.

*Clang!!!*

The sound of steel hitting steel resounded through the place as my body shot forward like a ragdoll. I managed to avoid any damage but the force behind whatever hit me was enough to send me flying for nearly a hundred meters.

I spread out my arm and flipped in the air to stop my momentum before I landed on the ground. Then I turned back, my yellow eyes skipped the distance and locked onto the one who dared sneak up on me.

A deep growl that shook the surrounding air rolled off my throat. The vibration sent a heavy threat in the air like waves.

Author : If it was not obvious after the appearance of Wubao, this is an AU now.

But rest assured as I am never going to introduce a ridiculously overpowered Master that can fight on equal footing with the current Tai Lung.
