Knife splashing

Chapter 17: Sideways elbow

Someone is causing trouble!

Li Yan was a little surprised.

To survive in the underworld, what you rely on is your substance, and what matters is your appearance.

Sometimes, face is more important than life.

Therefore, unless there is hatred, no one will cause trouble. No matter whether someone will stab you in the back or how ruthless they will be when they turn against each other, at least everyone will speak nicer to them.

People who are foul-mouthed usually don't live for many years.

He was just a teenager who seldom left the village. Everyone present was his senior.

Is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you saying such sarcastic things?

The person who spoke was also a young man, about twenty years old, with a fairly square face, but his eyebrows were thin and light, making him look fierce.

Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Do we know each other?"

He had a pair of phoenix eyes and dragon eyes. He didn't need to train his eyesight as they were naturally cold and radiant. He also had a cold and majestic air, but he tried to restrain himself as much as possible on weekdays.

When he narrowed his eyes, his aura rose involuntarily, which made the people around him feel a chill in their hearts and they dared not to underestimate him anymore.

"You idiot, why are you talking so weirdly?"

Upon seeing this, Sharifei quickly stood up and retorted, then smiled at Li Yan and said, "This person is not an outsider either, Meng Haicheng, the disciple of President Zhou of Xianyang Divine Fist Association."

When Li Yan heard this, he immediately understood the reason.

The Shenquan Society is not a gang, but an organization recognized by the imperial court.

During the Daxing period of the previous dynasty, although there was a confrontation between the Golden Horde from the north and the south, those warriors from the grassland were all ruthless men, with strong bodies and brave temperaments.

In every war between the two sides, the Daxing Dynasty lost more than it won.

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.

With the support of the imperial court, several martial arts masters of the Daxing Dynasty put aside their sectarianism and established a super organization, the Shenquan Society, which was joined by martial arts sects of all sizes from all over the country.

People in the underworld could not stand the military rules of the imperial court, but in the Divine Fist Society, they were like fish in water, sneaking into the north time and time again, assassinating, setting fires, and gathering intelligence, and made great contributions.

Later, when the founding emperor of the Daxuan Dynasty seized power, he relied on him extremely and finally unified China and annexed the entire prairie.

After the world was stabilized, the Divine Fist Society changed.

Although there is no such thing as a cunning rabbit dying and then being cooked, the imperial court would never allow such a huge force to go uncontrolled, so various means were used to strengthen control, and the Divine Fist Society gradually declined.

Today, the Shenquan Society is a semi-official organization.

The president of the Divine Fist Association, Grandmaster Huo Yin, is also the martial arts instructor for the children of the royal family.

They were considered the middlemen between the imperial court and the underworld, and also the hand of the Daxuan royal family reaching out to the underworld. They often cooperated with the government offices to quell banditry in various places, especially to deal with forces such as the Maitreya Sect.

Some people in the underworld can't stand them and call them hawks and dogs.

But on the other hand, the presidents of the Divine Fist Associations in various places can also get a lot of benefits. They are half black and half white, have many disciples and considerable influence.

There are bound to be some disputes in the world.

His father Li Hu was known as the Sick Tiger. He intended to compete for the position of president of the Xianyang Divine Fist Association to create a future for his family, but unfortunately he died later.

The Chairman Zhou mentioned by Sharifei was originally named Zhou Pan. He was good at Red Fist and Xingyi Monkey Fist and was one of the competitors. He was able to take the position because of the death of his father.

He is a petty-minded person who never lets go of any grudge. I heard that in the past two years not only has his Kung Fu become increasingly sophisticated, he has also raised two giant monkeys and taught them monkey boxing.

Only those who come to challenge the monkey are qualified to compete with it if they defeat it.

There were people on the Guanzhong Road who were not happy with this and joked: "When there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey becomes king." This was referring to the story of Zhou Pan and his father.

Given his personality, he would certainly not bully the weak and cause trouble for him, but he couldn't help feeling a little upset.

Thinking of this, Li Yan already had an idea.

The fact that Meng Haicheng is the leader of the wheat pickers shows that he is just average at it.

It was obvious that he knew his identity and wanted to step on him severely so as to take credit from his master Zhou Pan, hence his mocking remarks.

Li Yan was naturally not someone who would suffer a loss, so he nodded and said, "I understand. You want to step on me, a junior, to rise to the top, for fame and gain, which is understandable."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces suddenly looked strange.

They were all veterans. As soon as Meng Haicheng stuck his butt out, they knew what this guy was up to and they were all filled with contempt.

But obviously, Li Hu's son is no pushover.

Meng Haicheng needed to find a reason to provoke him, but this guy directly pointed it out.

Sometimes, the truth hurts more than a lie.

As expected, Meng Haicheng's face immediately turned red, but he could not refute, so he could only scold: "You are so young, how can you be so ignorant of the rules? If you keep talking nonsense, I will teach you a lesson today!"

Unexpectedly, Li Yan was not angry after hearing this. He just shook his head slightly and said, "You are shameless and have no bearing. I think your kung fu is also average. I don't want to fight with you."

This was a critical hit.

"You're so sharp-tongued, look for the beating!"

Meng Haicheng couldn't hold it back any longer and rushed over.

This leap of his is called monkey leap.

Monkey boxing emphasizes five essentials, namely, the shape should be like the real thing, the intention should be true, the steps should be light, the method should be dense and the body should be flexible. Without the monkey intention, it will not work.

The monkeys sit upright on the trees, and when disturbed they jump out. Sometimes they catch even the wild beasts in the mountains off guard and get caught, leaving their faces covered in blood.

What matters is the surprise, speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Meng Haicheng got the hint of what was going on, like a frightened monkey. He pounced on Li Yan from five or six meters away.

Everyone frowned, looking somewhat disdainful.

This Meng Haicheng has no shame in always launching sneak attacks when fighting with the younger generation.

So, although they shouted "watch for a fight" in advance, and then used the "monkey run" method, what difference does it make whether they said it or not?

Fortunately, this guy knew the importance of the attack. He curled his claws and did not grab Li Yan's throat, but reached for his right shoulder, which means he did not intend to kill him.

But even so, it's insidious enough.

If he was right, the other party would then use the technique of twisting and pulling, breaking tendons and dislocating bones to dislocate the arm of Li Hu's son and then humiliate him.

Young people are often arrogant, but they are easily broken by being too stubborn. If they suffer such a blow when they first enter the society, they will not be able to recover and will be ruined.

Sometimes, destroying someone's heart is more cruel than killing them.

Of course, they see through it but won’t say it out loud.

After all, Zhou Pan is narrow-minded and they don't want to provoke him. At most, they will talk about him afterwards to let people know what kind of people this master and disciple are.

Li Yan was prepared. The moment Meng Haicheng rushed over, his whole body shuddered, his hair stood on end, he pointed his right foot, and suddenly moved back two meters, while he turned sideways, raised his left hand slightly, and crossed his right hand and reached back.

This immediately widened the distance between them.

"what…"

When the old swordsman in a sheepskin coat from Longyou saw this, his eyes lit up with surprise.

He is the most senior and oldest among the crowd.

Although he never achieved anything in his life, he had traveled far and wide and had rich experience, and he had developed a good eye.

By this time, Li Yan had mastered the exquisiteness of the Red Fist.

The sixteen-character formula of Red Fist is: supporting and supplementing are the mother, hooking and hanging are the ability, transforming into a miracle and tricky hitting are the method.

Especially the body movement, which emphasizes that the body is a line, not a plane. The shoulder must be flexible when turning sideways, and the flexible shoulder and steps come first, which is the incarnation.

Left is not left, right is not right, retreat and advance, advance and retreat, highlighting the word "strange" in the change, which is "transformed into something strange".

As the saying goes, if you practice the side arm change skill well, even a god cannot beat you.

Li Yan's sideways movement not only avoided Meng Haicheng's sneak attack, but also controlled the distance very delicately. In addition, he switched his palms left and right, using support for defense and supplementation for attack. Whether attacking or defending, he was able to handle it with ease.

Oh no, this kid has two tricks!
Meng Haicheng, who was in the middle of the situation, was even more excited.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

He was in the air and had not yet landed. His new strength had not yet been generated and his old strength had already gone. If he tried to reach out forcefully, he would not be able to reach it and would be taken advantage of by the opponent.

Meng Haicheng had been in the martial arts world for several years. He immediately retracted his claws to protect his head and chest, and at the same time twisted his body, trying to turn around and kick sideways.

The goal is not to hurt the enemy, but to keep a distance so that the enemy cannot attack.

However, Li Yan was ready and changed his tactics even faster.

As he stepped back and turned sideways, he used his strength to support himself and at the same time pressed his body downward, with his center of gravity shifting to his right leg. His muscles became more prominent and his spine was slightly curved, like a compressed spring.

At the moment when Meng Haicheng changed his tactics, he suddenly jumped out and hit him with an elbow.

Bang!
With a dull thud, Meng Haicheng flew out and rolled twice on the ground, covering his chest. His face was pale and he couldn't breathe.

It was Li Yan's elbow that directly broke the door and hit him hard.

"it is good!"

Everyone looked surprised, but Sharifei was the first to applaud.

The others looked at each other in disbelief.

The moment Li Yan made his move just now, his tendons and bones exploded, and he had reached the peak of his Ming Jin.

It is easy to say that the moves are exquisite. After all, Li Hu is a famous figure, and the Li family has a heritage. Maybe he can find an expert to teach him the moves.

In this world, the so-called Ming Jin is the beginning of martial arts. Martial artists train their bodies, strengthen their muscles and bones, make their own strength clear, and every move is powerful.

The hallmark of successful practice is the vibration of the tendons and the sound of the muscles and bones.

The human body's large tendons are attached to the bones and are interconnected. The vibration of the large tendons can drive the bones and muscles of the whole body, combining the force at one point and exerting it.

At such a young age, he has already reached the peak of his strength, which is really rare.

Meng Haicheng on the other side felt extremely uncomfortable.

He was hit hard by an elbow in the chest, which blocked his airway and made him unable to breathe for a long time. He was rubbing his chest to relieve the pain.

Fortunately, Li Yan only used the obvious force. If he had practiced the hidden force and intentionally hurt others, his lung meridian would have been damaged and he would have vomited blood.

Even if you keep it for a few years, the person will become useless.

In addition, Meng Haicheng had also eaten a lot of mutton offal and steamed buns before. At this moment, his stomach was churning and he could no longer hold it in, so he vomited with a "wow" sound.

In an instant, the sour and stinking smell spread far and wide, making the surrounding wheat harvesters laugh and retreat.

Even though it was embarrassing, I finally felt relieved.

Seeing the expressions of the others, Meng Haicheng's face turned blue and white. He didn't dare to say anything harsh anymore. He stumbled to his feet and ran out.

He could see that although Li Yan was young, he was cruel and ruthless.

I've already failed today. If I don't leave quickly, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to get back on track.

Li Yan glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.

After all, this is not a time of chaos. Fighting and killing are two completely different things, especially in broad daylight. The laws of the Daxuan Dynasty are equally merciless to people in the martial arts world.

And after this battle, he also understood.

I am stuck at the peak of Ming Jin and what I lack is experience. If I want to break through, I'm afraid I will have to fight with others.

With a substitute statue, ordinary injuries are not a problem at all.

As long as they survive, no matter how many people come, they will dare to attack.

"A good father will have a good son..."

Several swordsmen around expressed their admiration.

They are old hands and have done many things to add icing on the cake.

Moreover, the young tiger has already shown its power just after coming out of the mountain, and I'm afraid it will be very powerful in the future.

"Excuse me, seniors."

Li Yan dealt with it for a while, then pulled Sha Lifei to a secluded place aside, his eyes turned sinister, "Uncle Sha, you set a trap for me, what do you want to do?!"

He had dealt with many people in his previous life, and in this life his father taught him all kinds of tricks of the world. How could he not see that Sha Lifei had set a trap for him?

Knowing that Xianyang was Zhou Pan's territory and that his disciples were present, he deliberately revealed his identity, making it clear that he was setting a trap.

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

Sharifei smiled playfully and was about to refute when his face suddenly froze.

A dagger appeared in Li Yan's hand at some point. It seemed as if he was talking to him, but it had already stretched out from his sleeve and was pressed against his heart.

Sharifei swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's talk it over. Let's talk it over."

Looking at Li Yan's eyes flashing with cold light, he felt uneasy. He felt inexplicably that this boy had no scruples and dared to take action.

He dared not hesitate at this moment and whispered something that made Li Yan stunned.

"Don't you want to know...how your father died?"
