Knife splashing

Chapter 40: Xinyi Liuhe Quan

Break a leg...

And throw away Xianyang?
Li Yan understood in an instant why his father had a friendship with old man Zhang and why the other party was willing to plan for him.

Perhaps only my father, with his generous character, can tolerate this foul-mouthed old man.

Although he was complaining in his heart, he was too lazy to speak at this moment.

Without paying any attention to Zhang Shitong opposite him, Li Yan turned around and walked to a chair on the side. He first took off the Guanshan sword from his waist, then slowly unbuttoned the buttons and took off the sword from his left wrist.

The movements were neither hurried nor slow, with a sense of ritual.

"Have you also learned Tiger's hidden knife?"

Zhang Yuanshang, who was standing above, saw the short knife, which seemed to bring back memories, but he soon noticed Li Yan's expression, and his mouth curled up into a playful smile, "Interesting..."

In this world, warriors practice martial arts to kill people.

Most of the time, his body is relaxed, and he won't walk sideways like an idiot to attract attention. But when he suddenly explodes, it's like a thunderbolt.

Li Yan was in a duel at the time, and neither side had room for a sneak attack, so he adjusted his condition in a short time with the help of a few undressing movements.

When he turned around again, his eyes were shining brightly, like ice.

On the other side, Zhang Shitong no longer had that nonchalant look. He didn't say a word. He changed his palms, bent his body slightly, and squatted with his legs forward and backward, just like a big rooster.

drumstick?

Li Yan frowned, and also turned sideways and got into position.

This chicken leg is not tasty at all to the enemy.

Xinyi Liuhequan emphasizes the tiger pounce posture, with the starting moves like eagle catching, chicken leg, dragon body, bear waist and tiger hugging head. It can spread to all directions and it is no joke.

The chicken leg is the key to Xinyi Liuhequan. The speed and strength of the force are all related to it. It is said that "the intention to leave is like a wind that sweeps the earth, and the news depends entirely on the hind legs, and the chicken leg is always with you at every step."

The most intuitive thing is the fighting cocks.

Flying, leaping, attacking and defending, everything can be done in one go at any time.

Therefore, there is an old saying among those who practice Xinyi Liuhe Quan: "If you don't practice martial arts without stretching your legs, you will become a reckless person when you get old."

His father, Li Hu, was a man of great experience, and when he was alive, he had taught him all the popular boxing techniques.

He was still young at that time, and if he were an ordinary teenager, he would have forgotten it long ago, but he had a mature soul after all, and he had memorized all the key points by heart.

Xinyi Liuhequan also has many schools, each with its own characteristics.

For example, Cangzhou is spacious and generous, Jinzhou is small and tricky, and the heritage of the Central Plains is ruthless and domineering.

As soon as Li Yan saw Zhang Shitong take action, he knew that his inheritance was related to Jinzhou.

In Jinzhou, there are many big businessmen, so various escort agencies gather there and the martial arts industry is also extremely prosperous.

When Zhang Shitong invited him before, he said "Smile three parts, be three parts reasonable, and drink three parts wine". Li Yan made some guesses because this was the catchphrase of the escort agents.

When escorts are protecting a convoy, they will only resort to violence when personal connections fail to work. However, when they do take action, they are extremely secretive and cunning, and have to adapt to various environments, so their boxing style also has similar characteristics.

It seems that we should be careful of the other party's hidden hand...

Just as Li Yan was thinking about it, Zhang Shitong had already moved, crossing his front and back legs, and with a step, he had closed the distance.

Li Yan frowned slightly and stepped back sideways.

He had heard that when practicing Xinyi Liuhequan, the shoulder should not move. But when they actually fought, he felt the trouble because he could not figure out what the opponent was going to do.

Zhang Shitong had already exerted his strength. This distance was nothing at all. He shook his right hand and wiped it directly towards Li Yan's eyes.

The whistling wind from the palm made Li Yan's eyes hurt so much that he couldn't help but lean back.

But this was just a feint. Zhang Shitong's left hand was like a hammer, stabbing at his upper abdomen. If it hit, Li Yan would probably be like Meng Haicheng, unable to breathe.

But Li Yan dared to compete in martial arts, so how could he be just a show-off?

He blocked Zhang Shitong's punch with his right hand, and at the same time, he turned his wrist into a claw and grabbed the opponent's wrist.

This is the essence of Red Fist, tricky hitting!
Hongquan has never been a style of martial arts designed to receive beatings; its movements are agile and whether it is attacking or retreating, making moves or defending, it is always a preparation for an attack.

Even if you fight back, you have to be tough.

As long as this hit is solid, the next move can make the enemy bleed!
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shitong's move was still a feint.

His left hand trembled, and it slipped out of Li Yan's hand like a loach. Like a tiger pouncing, his body accelerated again, and he leaned his shoulder against Li Yan's chest.

The movements of both parties were as fast as light and shadow, just in the blink of an eye.

Li Yan felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was hit by a wild bull, and flew backwards.

There is a row of chairs at the back.

Just as he was about to collide, Li Yan pushed off with his right foot, used the force to do a backflip, and stood steadily on the chair as if it were nothing.

He crossed his fists and held out as if he hadn't been attacked at all.

"Oh, you're pretty tough..."

Zhang Shitong chuckled and walked forward and gave him a whip-kicking kick.

"Don't break my chair, you bastard!"

Old man Zhang sitting on the armchair was immediately dissatisfied.

However, Zhang Shitong's move was also a feint.

He swept the chair to force Li Yan to jump down.

Sure enough, Li Yan had already jumped up and kicked him in the head with his right leg.

The little bastard was fooled!
Zhang Shitong was delighted and pulled his right leg up and kicked upwards.

During a fight, the lower body must be stable. Few people practice mid-air attacks because it is difficult to exert force in mid-air and you will be in trouble if hit.

But as soon as he kicked up into the air, he realized something was wrong.

Li Yan twisted his body in the air, grabbed his legs with his left hand, and at the same time, he did a scissors kick to clamp Zhang Shitong's neck.

Then, Li Yan rolled over and, with the help of all his body's strength, Zhang Shitong instantly flew off the ground like a pulled carrot, flew backwards and hit the beam in the lobby directly.

This move, however, borrowed from the attacking concept of the previous life, combining the red fist's holding method and nine rolls and eighteen falls.

Zhang Shitong was hit hard. When he landed on the ground, he immediately got into a stance, the smile on his face gone. "What kind of red fist is this?"

"The red fist that can knock people down!"

Li Yan snorted coldly and rushed forward quickly.

He had sensed something was wrong just now. His father Li Hu's warning came to his mind:

When performing Xinyi Liuhequan, the shoulders do not move and the hands are raised to rush forward. The mind generates the energy and the intention turns into fist, which is the most unpredictable.

What’s more important is its attack characteristics: like water waves!
Once it gains the upper hand, you will face an endless, wave-like attack. If you defend too long, you will lose and it will be difficult to turn back.

Therefore, he chose to attack directly.

"Well done!"

Zhang Shitong was not surprised but happy. He took a chicken step forward and raised his hand to punch him in the heart.

But this punch was just a feint.

When Li Yan swung his right hand to push away the fist, Zhang Shitong had already retracted his hands, palms facing inward, and pushed forward suddenly.

Xinyi Liuhequan, double handle!

The front strike is called tiger pounce, and the diagonal strike on the chin is called old ape hanging seal or white ape offering peaches.

Zhang Shitong chose to attack Li Yan's chin.

If he was hit hard this time, Li Yan would faint immediately.

But at this moment, Li Yan's neck suddenly tilted back, and at the same time he turned sideways and slid his left foot forward, closing the distance.

Distance is the key to fighting.

This small step was enough for Li Yan to raise his hand and push, leaving Zhang Shitong with an open door. At the same time, he shook his shoulders and suddenly struck out with his right palm.

Zhang Shitong's vision was blocked, and he couldn't see the palm strike below at all.

Thirty-six rows of Red Fist: Flowers hidden under the leaves!

Zhang Shitong didn't care at first.

He just needed to pull back his wrist to prevent himself from being grabbed by Li Yan.

The worst that can happen is a slap in the face.

If he is caught, no matter whether it is Hongquan's Harrier Shoulder or Sword Leg, if he is hit by one move, the fight will be over.

Unexpectedly, when Li Yan pressed his palm, Zhang Shitong's face suddenly changed.

He had no time to react before a powerful force knocked him away again. He hit the pillar with a bang and slid down again.

"Dark power?!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuanshang above also stood up.

He was obviously surprised, but not worried.

Beating someone is like hanging a painting. It looks fierce, but he actually stopped.

If the hidden force uses Yin force and hits the heart directly, it will be a fatal blow.

As expected, Zhang Shitong immediately stood up, his face becoming ugly, "Good boy, it seems we can't hold back!"

He has also stepped into the dark energy, although he is similar to Li Yan, he has just mastered it and cannot make it look easy and use his strength in a variety of ways.

But using it and not using it are two different things.

"Stop it!"

Zhang Yuanshang sat down on the armchair again and waved his hand, saying, "It's not a deadly feud. Save your strength and fight hard on the ring."

"Kid, don't worry about other things. I'll take care of it. They won't do anything in the ring, but whether you can win depends on you!"

Zhang Shitong also dusted off the dust on his body and said, "Zhou Bai is not very old, but he is stronger than me. If I can't break the 'circle' of his monkey fist, then there is no point in fighting."

"Thank you!"

Li Yan bowed, picked up his clothes and left.

His purpose of coming here has been achieved.

Firstly, Zhang Yuanshang has promised to arrange a competition arena, so there will be no accidents.

Secondly, the old man also gave him a side reminder.

Then Zhou Bai’s kung fu should be about the same as Zhang Shitong’s.

But one is already 27 or 28 years old and the other is only 17, so their potentials are very different.

In this life-and-death contest, perhaps there is no need to use the Daluo Dharmakaya.

Watching him leave the martial arts hall, Zhang Shitong lost his previous impetuosity. He frowned, stared with dead eyes and said, "He does have a bit of Li Hu's prestige. He can master the hidden power at such a young age. No wonder he is so rampant..."

"But father, Zhou Bai might be slightly better. You are gambling!"

"Of course I'm gambling!"

Zhang Yuanshang took a few puffs of the water pipe and said calmly:

"Everyone has to gamble a few times in life. Zhou Pan has already established a connection with Chang'an. If you don't gamble now, you won't even have the chance to gamble in the future..."

"What if I lose the bet?"

"I have already lost a bet once. At most, I lost face and continued to curse. This time it's your fault. If you lose, just go to Cangzhou honestly..."

"This…this isn't fair!"

"My son is asking me for fairness, and he's asking for a beating!"

…………

"how is it going?"

Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan were waiting at the street corner.

Seeing Li Yan coming out, he hurried forward to ask.

"It's arranged."

Li Yan pondered for a moment, "You two, although old man Zhang has made a promise, the Iron Blade Gang is a bunch of scum. The incident with the beggars at the mass grave is probably caused by them. Who knows, they might even come up with some shady tricks. Don't run around these two days."

"Also, I need something."

"what?"

"Qin and Han war drums!"
