[Tai Lung's POV]
I am strongest.
That was no illusion nor was it an exaggeration.
But was I invincible? Was I undefeatable?
Seeing myself completely paralysed and poisoned through underhanded means by the enemy I respected more than hate, the answer to that question slowly appeared in my mind.
"Now please die, Tai Lung." His words echoed in the inner cavit...
[Tai Lung's POV]
I stood on of a small pile of bodies, which was on top of a small boulder as I looked down at the battlefield with a satisfied smile.
My soldiers were winning as the enemy had given their back out of fear. It was not hard to cut down enemies who had no courage to face you.
I had stopped fighting after taking out the initial soldiers as I needed to conserve ...
[Tai Lung's POV]
Silence.
The absolute lack of sound when more than two hundred thousand people occupied the space. It couldn't be put into words just how jarring that scene was.
So there was silence.
But it had more weight than a million words strung together by a poet.
Silence was everything. It was fear, it was courage, it was disbelief, it...
[Tai Lung's POV]
The Sun Breathing.
It was a technique, a form of martial arts which I copied from the world of Demon Slayer. The main concept behind this enhancing technique was as the name implied.
Using a unique pattern of breathing to make sure that you get the most amount of oxygen into your system thereby increasing the limit of your body.
Not only that, but af...
[Tai Lung's POV]
200 thousand soldiers.
Now that is not a funny number.
That was probably the whole military might of two entire kingdoms. The reason why there were so many foot soldiers was mostly because of Tang which was located in the centre of China.
The Jade Palace was there so central China was the most peaceful part of China. Therefore they had more infantry ...
[Tai Lung's POV]
I flew above Gongmen City and carefully observed it from afar.
Just like you would expect a city which was about to be invaded to react, they were doing it. The city was in absolute chaos.
While the city itself was eerily quiet with the citizens locking themselves up in their houses, waiting for the disaster to pass by some miracle, the exit gate of the cit...

"What is it son?" Shifus's voice brought me out from the dark side of my thoughts.
"Three Kingdoms have united, Nanzhao, Dali and Tang. They have decided to launch an all-out attack on us." I said and put down the scroll.
"Thats...." Shifu drawls in shock. I could not blame him as it was truly astonishing that three kingdoms had formed an alliance which had...
[3rd POV]
(Three weeks ago)
In the southernmost city of the Kingdom Nanzhao, an important meeting unlike anything that had ever happened before, was taking place.
The building was the castle of the city but the weird thing about it was that everything was quiet which meant that there were not many people in that castle even though it was massive.
There were no servan...
[Tai Lung's POV]
Chi.
The fuel of miracles.
If you were amazed at what I could achieve with it when it was limited inside of my body, you would be horrified to learn what I could do with it now that I can control and shape it to my liking outside of my body.
It brought my combat prowess to a whole new realm.
Obviously, it was not usable in a real fight with my...
[Tai Lung's POV]
The fun and easy part - in my opinion - of conquering a new kingdom had come to an end. Now, it was time for the political and boring parts.
Obviously, you can't just defeat the army of s kingdom and wash your hands, thinking you are done with it. But it was for times like these that I formed an alliance with Shen so I left everything in his hands.
He had b...

"We need to act quickly!! Tai Lung and Shen are going to come for us next! It's only a matter of time, don't you see!!" The advisor of the king of Nanazhao screamed in frustration.
There were many people in the courtroom as they discussed about the apparent defeat of Shu and how to deal with this new, aggressive threat that had popped up b...

The great battle of the Chengdu Plain.
It was a battle where one Master fought against Fifty Thousand Soldiers and came out victorious.
The news spread throughout China like a wildfire. The shocking information shook the very foundation of China itself as one name resounded in the hearts of everyone.
The Supreme General Tai Lung.
His...
[Tai Lungs POV]
For the first few hours, I was focused on the battle. I meticulously utilized my knowledge, my techniques and strength to put down my enemies without killing them. Of course, some deaths were unavoidable but I tried my best to not waste lives.
I danced around the battlefield, my movements were of calculated perfection and each stroke of my limbs pantied a beautiful...
[Tai Lung's POV]
I wrapped my hands with the bandage and made sure my claws remained out without having to flex my fingers constantly.
Although it did not hinder me in a fight, it was a different case when it was war. It would be a battle of attrition for me, especially since I was going up against 50 thousand soldiers alone.
So I could not waste any stamina or focus on my ...
[3rd POV]
After the army of Gongmen City crossed Pearl Lake, they immediately headed further down West.
Their movements were greatly slowed down by the heavy cannons they carried like the enemy had predicted and they took three whole days to reach the border of Shu.
It was at this point that they started executing their war strategy which was quite simple. They will send t...

(The Kingdom of Shu in the West)
"Shen has finally made a move." An old baboon said and silence followed the throne room.
There were many people gathered in the throne room ranging from soldiers, commanders, generals and the king of Shu.
There was also a certain Monkey King in the room and he covered his face after hearing the news.
"And?" The King o...

"So, you finally came back." Shifu said with his eyes closed and his back facing me.
He was sitting in a meditative position on top of a single rock while the surroundings were covered with a shallow puddle of water. There was a dragon-shaped statue on the roof of the cave which was covered in a thin layer of green algae.
The constant crashing of waterfal...

After the ceremony was done, Tai Lung and Shen returned to the Tower. They were followed by the family head of each house and the commanders of the army.
Then, they proceeded to start planning for the upcoming war they were about to wage. Shen with his intelligence and Tai Lung with his knowledge of the art of war were the main brainpower behind the strategy they came up...
[Tai Lung's POV]
We stood at the main platform just outside the Tower of Sacred Flames. There were many soldiers below us, ranging from wolves, gorillas and a few other animal species.
The 13 noble houses of Gongmen City were also there to witness the ceremony as they stood at the forefront of the audience.
There were probably more than a thousand soldiers but the place was...
[Tai Lung's POV]
"Shen and I have formed an alliance." I broke the shocking news to them and watched as their jaws fell in shock.
It was truly a piece of random and impactful news, one that even I was still processing. I never expected Shen to ask for an alliance. In fact, I expected him to hate me to the core for being an obstacle to his grand plan.
But I guess you can't ...

"We need to act fast and complete our mission. We must find out more about the weapon and report back to Master Shifu." Tigress said to her fellow prisoners in a serious voice.
They were currently in the largest suite of Baoxiang Inn, held as prisoners of war with every exit tightly guarded by Gorilla soldiers.
As the name would suggest, the suite they were in was...
[Tai Lung's POV]
"I accept your proposal. It seems interesting." I said and Shen was oddly surprised at my answer.
"Really? Just like that?" He asked me with a raised eyebrow. "I thought I would have to do more to convince you."
"I am not clueless like most warriors Shen. I can see how an alliance could benefit me even without you having to name them one by one." I said...
[Tai Lung's POV]
"I have a proposal for you." He said and stood just at the right distance. He was close enough so that we can see eye to eye yet he was just out of my reach.
The balcony was also open and right behind him. It was to be his escape route if things went south and I attacked him.
I raised an eyebrow, "A proposal?"
"I sure hope it has nothing to do with o...
[Tai Lung's POV]
Using Flash steps to fly across China was quite taxing for my body as I felt my legs numb due to the strain. My Chi reserves were also plummeting at an alarming rate since I was not too proficient with the technique.
But I pushed on because I could see the metropolis city ahead. It took me less than a day to cover the distance I took 2 months to cover by foot. Abl...

"How are the prisoners? Do they like the food?" Lord Shen asked as he sat upon the throne of the peacocks in the Tower of Sacred Flames.
"I think so, my lord. They finished half of what they were served." Boss Wolf said while bowing respectfully towards Shen.
"Half? Do you think half is enough? Do they not like the food?" Shen said with a thoughtful look, "Find an...
[Tai Lung's POV]
"After Master Rhino's death, the people of the city said that Lord Shen---*** ***** ** ** ! * **** ** ****** *******?"
I did a double take and almost choked on my own saliva after hearing that.
What in the Oogway's anus were they saying? Master Thundering Rhino is dead?
"Hey." I went to a stall that sold spices from India and asked the shopkeeper, "W...
[Tai Lung's POV]
{2 months later)
It has been a year since I broke out of prison now and I was still in the middle of my journey towards the East Coast of China.
It should have taken me a week at most with my new movement technique and speed but sometimes, it was the journey and not the destination that you desired.
I have continued my training and used the many band...

"Zhang Wi, report." Shen ordered his subordinate while he was busy tending to his injuries and broken feathers.
He was currently at the house of Wi in Gongmen city because where is a better place to hide than plain sight? The place was the main hall of the Wi house and other than the patriarch of the Wi clan, there was no one else as Shen wanted to be alone to think at t...
[3rd POV]
Master Rhino remained on the ground even after Tai Lung had disappeared from sight. He sighed and shook his head while he digested what Tai Lung had said and done to him.
"The guy does not hold back does he?" He said to himself while chuckling. He slowly pushed himself up from the ground and got back to his feet.
Maybe he needed that humbling. He had indeed gotten...
[Tai Lung's POV]
Although I said I could copy his technique, it was not quite the same. It was a cheap imitation I did by letting out my Chi around the body parts I wanted enhanced.
On the other hand, Monkey King seemed to be able to control his Chi even when it was outside his body. Which I could also do but barely as my Chi did not obey me when they were outside my body.
