Knife splashing

Chapter 46: Fighting

"it is good!"

The crowd below burst into thunderous cheers again.

Visually speaking, Zhou Bailiang's move was better than Li Yan's.

Training monkeys and teasing dogs, climbing poles and walking on tightrope were all techniques that common people had also seen traveling artists perform at temple fairs.

But they found this skill of climbing walls and flying over roofs very rare, especially the series of claw marks left on the thick wooden boards wherever Zhou Bai passed, which made them marvel.

Of course, the layman watches the excitement while the expert sees the details.

Only a true martial artist would know how amazing Li Yan's lower body skills were just demonstrated.

These are of course just episodes.

Everyone's attention was quickly focused on the ring.

There are also some rules to follow when watching the fun.

For example, if the prisoner on the execution ground was beheaded without making a sound, it would at most make people feel chilled and boring afterwards.

If he shouted and cursed loudly before going to the execution ground, cursing the imperial court, the corrupt officials, and the dog emperor, and then sang a song saying that he would be a brave man again after 18 years, that would be interesting.

And in this fight, it also depends on the verbal abuse between the two sides before the fight.

Just like in today’s fighting competitions, the two enemies always have to be brought together to butt heads with each other to liven up the atmosphere.

Therefore, the people all concentrated and opened their eyes wide, wanting to see how the two would yell and curse, and it would be best if there was a scene from a play and they could sing a few lines.

However, they were somewhat disappointed on stage.

Li Yan and Zhou Bai looked at each other coldly without saying a word.

Now that things have come to this, and we are on the stage of life and death, there is nothing much to say.

In Zhou Bai's opinion, this was just an ignorant country boy who relied on his father's reputation to come to his Zhou family to make a name for himself.

But Li Yan knew that it was impossible to untie the knot of the Zhou family.

Not to mention the previous grudges, my father’s death was also related to Zhou Pan.

Even if the other party is not the murderer, he is an insider.

The two of them looked at each other, both looking for the other's flaws.

They are all martial artists. Although they are not very old, they have practiced hard since childhood and know the human body very well. They can tell whether the other party has been seriously injured recently through some characteristics.

A warrior's body is as precious as gold.

Not only do you have to practice, fight, and maintain it. Once something goes wrong, it is very likely that your life will come to an end, unless you find another way and learn tough skills like the one-armed swordsman.

In a life-and-death contest, there is no need for courtesy or leniency.

Once you find that the other person is injured, you must beat him to death.

Seeing that he couldn't see anything strange, Zhou Bai was too lazy to wait any longer. He clasped his fists and said coldly, "I heard that you are good at Red Fist?"

"Come, let's fight. Let's see if you have the guts to come to Xianyang and provoke my Zhou family!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Peide, one of the Eight Vajra Kings, suddenly changed his expression and slammed the table fiercely, "Nonsense!"

At this moment, everyone understood what Zhou Bai meant.

The Zhou family's Monkey Fist is also a sub-fist of the Red Fist, but Zhou Pan comprehended the Tongbei Monkey Fist, absorbed the strengths of both, and made a name for himself.

As the mother fist, the Red Fist is naturally also practiced to a high level.

The young man was so arrogant that he gave up his strengths and wanted to suppress Li Yan with his red fist.

This is completely different from the previous plan.

There was also a flash of anger in Yuan Qu's eyes, but he suppressed it with all his strength and said with a smile: "Don't get angry, Senior Brother. Zhou Baihong has also put a lot of effort into his boxing. With his qualifications, it is very easy for him to defeat the opponent."

"This is a life-and-death contest. You must be crazy to be famous!"

Zhou Peide was still annoyed, and said angrily: "I will definitely put him in solitary confinement when I return. And you, don't let him get involved in gang affairs, and stay away from Zhou Bai!"

He has a very high opinion of himself. Although he and Yuan Qu and Zheng Heibei are nominally fellow apprentices, he looks down on them from the bottom of his heart and only regards them as subordinates of the Zhou family.

Now that I am angry, I will naturally say whatever I want.

"Yes, Senior Brother taught me that."

Yuan Qu quickly bowed and saluted to hide the vicious look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, above, Zhou Bai had already taken action.

The ten-meter arena was not big. He exerted force with his feet and twisted his body to get close to Li Yan. He raised his left hand and swung it, and his right hand directly stabbed towards Li Yan's face.

This move, White Tiger Washing Face, was derived from the Red Fist Liuhe Spear.

The arm was like a gun flower, only a shadow could be seen, and it caught the opponent off guard, directly hitting the opponent's eyes and the center of the brow.

This is the Red Fist, a martial art developed from the battlefield, and every move results in blood.

I'm not afraid of a hundred tricks, I'm afraid of one new trick.

If this move is practiced to a high level, raising your hand will be like a gunshot or a bomb. The enemy will have no time to react and will die in an instant.

However, Li Yan was prepared.

He did not dodge at all. He blocked Zhou Bai's arm with his left hand, then changed his arms and twisted his body. Using the strength of his waist and abdomen, his right fist came down from the air like a hammer, hitting Zhou Bai's Baihui point on the top of his head.

Red Fist’s first move: blocking and chopping hammer!
It looked like a turtle punch, but it was actually a way of defending the center and using the center, attacking and defending at the same time. If it hit the target, one punch could smash the opponent's brain.

On the other side, Zhou Bai had been taught many moves by masters since he was a child, and was more experienced than Li Yan. He just lightly moved his arm to the side, then twisted his body and changed arms. At the same time, he raised his arms, crossed his fists, blocked them, and hooked them, and then grabbed Li Yan's right wrist.

"Not bad!"

Zhou Peide, who was sitting in a restaurant in the distance, suddenly relaxed.

The Hongquan techniques come from the battlefield, and this trick is extremely important.

When fighting on the battlefield, the two sides came into close contact. A master only needed to gently push the opponent with his hand, and the opponent would lose balance and be slaughtered.

The same is true for the cunning hands.

As long as you hold on, you can use various tricks to defeat the enemy.

Sure enough, while Zhou Bai grabbed Li Yan's right wrist, he kicked him in the crotch with a side kick, which was extremely vicious.

Li Yan's reaction was also incredibly fast. He kicked sideways and directly kicked the opponent's calf back.

But as soon as he came into contact with it, he realized something was wrong.

Zhou Bai's kick was weak and powerless, just a lure.

When he raised his leg to counterattack, he was already standing on one leg and his center of gravity was unstable.

Sure enough, Zhou Bai bent sideways and hugged his right knee, crossed his hands, and exerted force suddenly.

Sword kick!
This move is so fierce that it can directly make the enemy lose balance and fall, and then the follow-up can be a fatal blow.

At that time, Zhang Shitong was trying to defend against this move, so he was knocked away by his "Flower Hidden Under the Leaves" move.

Without any surprise, Li Yan fell backwards.

Zhou Bai's follow-up move followed closely, a sideways whip kick with perfect timing, kicking Li Yan's temple just before his head hit the ground.

In times of crisis, Li Yan's basic skills that are far superior to ordinary people were demonstrated.

He twisted his waist violently in the air, dodging Zhou Bai's side kick, and at the same time used a scissors kick to clamp the opponent's waist.

This time he was exerting force halfway, and it was impossible to directly lift the opponent up and throw him away like he did in Zhang's Martial Arts School.

However, in Hongquan, there is a special counterattack method called "Nine Rolls and Eighteen Falls" to target those who fall to the ground.

Taking advantage of Zhou Bai's waist for balance, Li Yan supported himself with his left hand and performed a horizontal rabbit-kicking-eagle move, kicking directly on his leg.

Zhou Bai has a lot of experience in countering attacks, but perhaps because he was taught too strictly since he was young, his ability to respond is insufficient and he is a bit rigid.

He didn't react to Li Yan's move and was kicked to the point of losing his balance.

Li Yan supported himself on the ground with his left hand, and as his legs fell down, he bent his body and threw himself forward.

This move is called pushing Mount Tai with all your strength.

Like a tiger pouncing on its prey, Li Yan hugged Zhou Bai's waist directly, took a few steps, and knocked him to the ground, then sat sideways on his waist.

His two fists were like a chain of cannons, smashing down with a crackling sound.

What's worse is that, because the arena was small, Li Yan pushed Zhou Bai directly to the edge of the arena, with his chest hanging in the air and it was difficult for him to exert force with his waist.

Facing this round of punches, Zhou Bai tried his best to protect his head, but even so he was hit a few times, and suddenly stars appeared in his eyes and blood splattered from his nose.

Li Yan also showed no mercy in his attack.

This series of punches can break the opponent's neck directly if it hits the vital point once.

In the blink of an eye, he was at a disadvantage. While Zhou Bai was trying his best to resist, fear arose in his heart, but more of it was anger.

He originally wanted to use his red fist to defeat his opponent, but he didn't expect that Li Yan was younger than him, but his moves were so sophisticated and vicious, making him so embarrassed in public.

People who practice martial arts inherently have a fierce aura.

Zhou Bai practiced Monkey Fist, which made him even more wild.

The anger and pain made him ignore everything. He grabbed Li Yan's clothes and rolled over, causing the two of them to roll onto the stage together.

Many of the onlookers gasped.

In the series of attacks just now, both sides hardly made any moves, just a head-on collision, as fast as light and shadow, it was dizzying to watch.

I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this is the situation.

If you fall from the arena which is over three meters high, won’t you be half killed?
Of course, the onlookers were not worried.

Martial artists have been practicing since childhood, and rolling over to relieve force is a basic skill. Not to mention falling from a height of three meters, even if one falls from a height of five meters, they can still roll over and be safe and sound.

Some masters who are proficient in this art even dare to jump down from the city wall.

What made them frown was that the rule of the arena was that if you fell down, you would lose. Could it be that this competition would end in a draw?
However, things turned out to be beyond their expectations.

As Zhou Bai fell, he shrank his body into a monkey shape, and then he scratched with his two claws and landed on the wooden wall on the side of the ring.

Li Yan's claw skills are not as good as the opponent's, but he also has ways to deal with it.

He shook his left hand and punched through the wooden board. He grabbed the crack to stop himself and looked at Zhou Bai opposite him with a sneer on his face.
"What? Go up and fight again?"

"Fuck off!"

Zhou Bai roared, leaped forward like a monkey...
