Weakness or strength
Weakness or strength
[3rd POV]
The air was screaming as two titanic forces collided again and again with no regard to its domain. Tai Lung moved at a speed that should not be reached as his feline body bred to kill sliced through the air with deadly accuracy.
Samudragupta's gigantic body also moved with a swiftness that did not justify his size. His huge frame churned the atmosphere, causing a small hurricane to follow him whenever he moved. His body was encased in an orange aura with his veins glowing red as raw strength almost seemed to drip out of him.
These two powerhouses used the city of Shigatse as a playground. The mammoth razed the city to the ground while the feline used the buildings and tower to aid him in battle. The result was a disastrous calamity that would see the city fall to ruin.
The city was encased in a net made of iron which prevented all aerial creatures from flying away. It cast a shadow on the city that added to the despair of the citizens as they scattered like ants, afraid to be slaughtered.
With the army surrounding the city, it was basically a giant cage where no one could escape without the desired result.
Tai Lung's death.
"Tell me, Tai Lung, are you holding back?" Samudragupta asked with a ragged breathing. An orange aura was steaming off his body and he had cuts all over his body from which blood seeped out.
But those cuts were slowly healing. Normally, it would heal instantly but damage inflicted with chi took a longer time to heal.
"Are you really asking me that with multiple wounds marring your proud body?" Tai Lung asked with a raised eyebrow. His claws were so black that it looked like void and the blood of his opponent was slowly dripping off it.
His majestic white fur was also covered with some blood from wounds that had already healed but other than that, he had received nothing noteworthy from the fight.
The result of the clash was obvious. Tai Lung was the superior fighter.
But this was not a fight between two warriors, was it? It was something far less honourable.
It was war.
"Where are the blue flames you used to burn your own cities? Where is the insurmountable kung fu you used to wipe out thousands soldiers with one hand? Where is the rumoured pillar of energy you used to pierce through 13 mountains?" Samudragupta asked and smashed the ground.
*BOOM!!*
"Where is it!!!!"
From Samudragupta's frustration, one could tell that he had much information about Tai Lung and what he was capable of. That information was given to him by the general of Tibet after the two armies had met.
The general told Smudragupta such information to get him to be more cautious and also to make him excited to fight against Tai Lung.
But Smudragupta had not seen such power from Tai Lung. It was true that he was losing the fight but that was only because for now, Tai Lung had the advantage of the city where he could hide and bounce around to boost his already supreme agility.
But in an actual confrontation that shall take place on an open ground, he would undoubtedly win. At least that's what he believed.
"Don't tell me that fucking antelope was right!" Samudragupta said, referring to the Emperor of Tibet.

Tai Lung was a good person. That was the bold claim of Songtsen Gampo, the Emperor of Tibet.
Of course, he was not considered as such in his homeland China because that was the land of saints. But compared to the other empires and kings like Samudragupta and Songtsen Gampo, Tai Lung was soft and kind.
Songtsen believed that this was a direct result of practicing kung fu. Through years of studying and his own intelligence, Songtsen came to this conclusion.
Kung Fu was not just a form of violence or a collection of fighting techniques, Kung itself was a way of life. Masters dedicated thier whole life to this art, they lived by thier kung fu and died with it.
And where does kung fu originate from again? Kung Fu originated from a pacifist old tortoise who created other ridiculous things such as the codes of war.
Tai Lung had a casual smirk on his face while watching a literal manifestation of strength charged at him. When Samudragupta was in the right distance, Tai Lung finally made a move.
He stomped on the ground and he sent his chi into the earth. A seismic wave spread through the surroundings.
And then the ground on which Smudragupta was running and crushing with his weight rose up instantly.
'Earthbending.'
The portion of the ground rose up like a gigantic pillar until it almost reached the net of the city. Smudragupta was also elevated up and was forced to stop his mad rush. Then the earth pillar sank back down at a rapid speed.
Smudragupta's leg was firmly swallowed by the earth so he was brought down along with the pillar.
*BOOOM!!!*
Samudragupta was slammed onto the ground as the earth swallowed him. The ground was powered by Tai Lung's chi and along with being caught by surprised, Samudragupta had no time to react and was supressed for a moment.
When the dust settled and Samudragupta opened his eyes, he saw a bright blue ball of light in the sky, The ball was made of pure energy and it was swirling around as if it held revolving galaxies inside.
It looked like a second sun in the sky.
Tai Lung smirked as he looked at the mammoth trapped in the earth below. He had leapt high into the air and the world slowed down as he focused on the Rasengan in his hand which was nearly half his size.
This should get the job done, he thought to himself and then he descended to the ground
Samudragupta was helpless as the full power of a Rasengan was slammed onto his body. It was not just one hit either as Tai Lung kept slamming down the ball of energy like a drill.
He was unable to handle the technique which had slain gods so for the first time since he could remember, he released a long trail of pained screams.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
The ground beneath broke apart. A wave of pure destructive force ripped the earth and the world rumbled. The explosion continued as if the world had layers. A crack of disaster spread multiple times as the city bore a huge gaping crater at its centre.
*BOOOOOOOM!!*
The earth was crushed. The air was punctured.
And the rest ripped apart.
A bright glow of blue light blinded everyone for a moment. And the world was silenced to host the scream of a king.
A king who henceforth, would never mistake overwhelming strength for weakness.
