From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 43: Fists like flaming nets, one against seven! (6100)

Although the eagle claw had not hit yet, the strong wind contained in the fingers had already caused Kamiizumi Nobunaga's face to twitch violently, and his hair was flying back violently.

Kamiizumi Nobunaga was a person who was well-versed in Buddhist scriptures, otherwise he would not have been able to develop the "Vajra Conquering Demons" fist style.

At this moment, facing Xu Xing's eagle claw, he unconsciously thought of a description from the "Medicine Buddha Sutra".

The flame net is more majestic than the sun and the moon.

Flame refers to light flame, and net refers to pearl net, which means endless light.

This sentence means that the light of Buddhism is intertwined and endless, like the pearl net of Indra.

In Kamiizumi Nobunaga's eyes, Xu Xing's attack was like a dense web of flames, intertwined and shining with endless light!

Faced with this power that is enough to save all living beings, how can he resist or escape?
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna had no answer.

Although the moment he saw Xu Xing, Kamiizumi Nobunaga felt that this man was unfathomable.

But he could never have imagined that this young man's boxing skills were so powerful and fierce.

In just a moment of confrontation, Kamiizumi Nobunaga's courage and spirit as a sword master were almost shattered by Xu Xing's extremely powerful boxing.

If they had met on a narrow road and fought one-on-one, Kamiizumi Nobunaga would have had no chance of escape.

Fortunately, this was not a duel, but a long-planned ambush.

A dim knife light shot out silently from the gap between Kamiizumi Nobunaga's left arm and chest and stabbed towards Xu Xing's chest.

Xu Xing immediately bent his elbow and smashed his half-extended left hand down. The tip of his elbow was like a spear, with not only the powerful force of chopping down, but also a spiral twisting and grinding force.

With a bang, the air exploded like a silver bottle breaking!

It can be seen that at Xu Xing's elbow, even the monk's robe is rolled up with layers of wrinkles like a whirlpool of water. This elbow is not like a spear, but clearly a huge iron spike that is constantly spinning!

Fortunately, this sword move was originally a feint. Although it seemed to be an attack on the enemy, it was actually intended to help Izumi Nobutsuna.

Tsukahara Bokuden's sword was extremely long, and he wielded it like a spear, pressing the back of the sword against Ueizumi Nobunaga's armpits, exerting a lifting force to pull the man's body backwards, changing from facing him head-on to facing him sideways.

Another withered hand stretched out from behind Kamiizumi Nobunaga, held his wrist, and gave it a light shake, causing the broken blade in his hand to spin suddenly.

This is exactly the "puppetry technique" in Japanese ninjutsu.

After a person dies, the remaining vitality of the body can still react, and the ninjas can use this reaction to manipulate the muscles and bones of the corpse, making the corpse move and completing the assassination mission.

In the Central Plains, this method is also called "borrowing a corpse to revive the soul". Most of the "corpse-driving" legends circulating in the Xiangxi area are based on this.

However, this juggling trick can often only be used on unconscious corpses or specially made puppets.

It is extremely difficult to control a living person, let alone control a kendo master like Kamiizumi Nobunaga.

Even for a master, this is an extremely incredible thing.

This "incredible" thing was the killer move that Tsukahara Bokuden carefully prepared for Xu Xing!
Although Tsukahara Bokuden's internal energy and blood have declined, he has entered the state of "ultimate emptiness" after all. His fighting style is extremely exquisite, even a magic trick can have unexpected changes in his hands.

Moreover, both he and Kamiizumi Nobunaga were practitioners of Japanese kendo, and they were both teachers and friends. Tsukahara Bokuden had an extraordinary understanding of him.

This is the basis for achieving manipulation.

The most crucial thing is that at this time, Kamiizumi Nobunaga had completely lost his courage due to Xu Xing, and he was in a state where he could only close his eyes and wait for death, which made it even easier for Tsukahara Bokuden.

The combination of various factors allowed Tsukahara Bokuden to do such an "incredible" thing.

This is the horror of the "Ultimate Void" realm. As long as you take action, it is the best way to fight. You can make use of all factors with almost no signs.

Although Kamiizumi Nobunaga's sword-drawing move just now took advantage of the time and location, this kind of use still required him to make calculations first. In terms of adaptability, he was inferior, which is why it was so easily broken by Xu Xing.

Now, this spinning blade not only has Tsukahara Bokuden's own power, but also the power he triggered by stimulating Kamiizumi Nobunaga's blood circulation through the method of "reincarnation".

The two great sword masters of the Japanese Kingdom joined forces to attack. Even if their strength was not fully added together, but was reduced layer by layer, it was still terrifying enough.

The broken blade spun wildly like an angry dragon, trying to cut off all five of Xu Xing's fingers.

Even if it is an iron mountain, after such a rotation, iron chips will fly and a big hole will be drilled in it, let alone a mortal body?

Xu Xing just shook his head. Although he didn't say anything, Tsukahara Bokuden clearly felt what he meant.

——You want to compete with me over a corpse?
Although Kamiizumi Nobunaga was not dead yet, in Xu Xing's eyes, he was just a corpse that could still move.

Facing the broken blade that was as powerful as an angry dragon, Xu Xing did not withdraw his hand at all. Instead, he moved the five fingers of his right hand continuously. However, the speed of the broken blade's spinning could not keep up with the frequency of Xu Xing's changes.

Every time it turned, Xu Xing lightly pressed it back with one finger.

It’s more like blasting than pressing!

Xu Xing's blood and energy surged, his fingers became as thick as radishes, his flesh stretched and relaxed, vibrated and bounced, bursting out with a fierce force like gunpowder, and every collision made the broken blade buzz and tremble.

After five consecutive collisions, the last remains of Suzumaru Tsuneji were completely shattered by Xu Xing.

The base of Kamiizumi Nobunaga's right hand was completely torn apart, leaving a bloody mess. Even Tsukahara Bokuden, who was standing across from him by an arm, felt his wrist and fingers were hurt by the force.

Tsukahara Bokuden knew that it was impossible to fight this man head-on at this point, so he raised the long sword in his left hand again and flew backwards with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna in his arms.

Xu Xing moved his left shoulder, and his arm, as if weightless, brought up a stack of blurry phantoms and grabbed Ueizumi Nobutsuna's shoulder again.

——How can you allow me to fight you as you please or leave you as you please in front of you?

Fortunately, the other four big boxers also reacted.

They picked up their weapons and surrounded Xu Xing from four directions.

Da Leitian, who was farther away, was shaking more and more violently. The golden needle between his eyebrows was humming incessantly and rising from his flesh little by little.

The four great boxers were qualified to be entrusted with the important task by Zhu Tiandu to guard Da Lei Tian, ​​so they naturally had extraordinary skills. When they saw that even the two great masters were unable to control Xu Xing, they all rushed forward to surround and kill this ferocious madman.

A big knife came chopping towards Xu Xing's head, a long spear drew an arc from the side, bypassed Shangquan Xingang, and stabbed towards Xu Xing's waist, and a soft whip rolled from behind Xu Xing.

Finally, the man let out a long roar to the sky, summoned people to come, and then flipped his hand and shot out three locust stones.

Xu Xing shook his right shoulder, and used his shoulder to push his elbow, and his elbow to push his wrist. The tip of his sleeve made a sound of cloth tearing, and his sleeve rolled up like a cloud, wrapping up the broken blade of the sword, and then suddenly threw it out.

With a humming sound, the blade of the big iron knife vibrated continuously, and the angle shifted. Three ding ding ding sounds were heard, and the locust stones were all turned into powder.

With another bang, the wooden shaft of the spear was directly cut off by a broken blade, leaving a smooth and clean cross-section.

Xu Xing used his ten toes and the front of his feet to exert force, and his body moved backward. The mud under his feet exploded, his calf tendons bulged, and his trouser legs were stretched to the limit. There was a dull sound like a heavy hammer hitting an anvil from his knees and joints.

The power of his thighs flowed through him, and his feet were already exerting thousands of pounds of force. His back muscles were bulging and his spine was protruding, as if he was riding a dragon and flying in the sky, or as if he was about to grow flesh wings and soar into the sky.

This is the unique body movement technique that Xu Xing developed by combining the dragon and snake brushwork of the Blood Sutra with the spreading wings of the great roc.

Just talking about physical skills, Xu Xing is now almost the best in the world.

The movement of the best in the world was naturally beyond the prediction of the four great boxers. His retreat immediately caused the iron knife to miss the target due to its offset angle, and his back foot just happened to step on the whip.

With a push of his foot, the whip suddenly straightened, making a sound like a tightened bowstring and blowing away a cloud of loose dust.

Although the master was very powerful and released his hands in advance, his knuckles were still cracked and his hands were covered in blood.

However, after performing such strenuous boxing changes many times, even with Xu Xing's current physical strength, he had to take a breath and temporarily slow down his offensive.

Tsukahara Bokuden also took this opportunity to escape with Kamiizumi Nobunaga.

Xu Xing did not rush to go up again, but stood where he was, clapping his hands and laughing, praising:

"Yes, yes, you are really fierce. Even if I want to beat you all in one go, it will take some effort.

Add to that the guy next to you, and all these assassins and assassins, and you are indeed qualified to kill me."

Even when talking about his own life and death, Xu Xing did not show the slightest bit of emotion, and there was a hint of joy in his calm tone.

It seemed as if this was not a siege aimed at him, but a test set by Xu Xing for these people.

After hearing these words, the six masters who had been beaten badly by Xu Xing in just one round of fighting couldn't help but look strange.

They should have been upset and angry about such outrageous words, but they were completely unable to muster such emotions in their hearts. Instead, they even felt a vague sense of joy and even pride.

——For warriors like them, being recognized by a peerless strong man like Xu Xing is indeed a supreme honor!

Tsukahara Bokuden gently placed the blade of the five-foot-long sword on the ground. He held the sword in his right hand, pulled down his collar with his left hand, stared at Xu Xing, and said in a deep voice:
"Your boxing skills have indeed reached the level of 'divine enlightenment', but unfortunately, you are too arrogant and presumptuous!

The old man turned his wrist, and the blade spun, pointing at Xu Xing.

"You could have killed one person first, but you chose to injure us all. Not only did you not achieve any substantial results, but you also wasted your energy and exposed your true colors.

Today, you will pay the price of your life for this arrogance." Tsukahara Bokuden remained motionless, his tone heavy and convincing.

Even Kamiizumi Nobunaga, whose courage had been dashed, had a gleam in his eyes, and it was obvious that his fighting spirit had been aroused.

As if echoing Tsukahara Bokuden's words, there were bursts of commotion in the dense forest behind Xu Xing. Dozens of figures could be vaguely seen rushing over, with black clothes flying everywhere, looking extremely murderous.

Even though they were so far away, Xu Xing could still feel the surging hot blood from those leaping figures. It was obvious that they all had extremely high skills in boxing.

These are not ninjas from the Japanese Empire, but assassins trained by Zhu Tiandu.

Hearing Tsukahara Bokuden's words, Xu Xing did not refute, nor did he take the initiative as he said, but just smiled and said:
"That would be too boring."

After laughing, he added with some regret:
"Actually, it's getting a bit boring now."

Even as Xu Xing was speaking, the body of a man in black flew out and fell heavily on an old tree, blood splattering all over the place. The force was so great that even the tree shook.

"Um?!"

There was another loud explosion, followed by the second and third.

Explosions rang out one after another, orange-yellow flames burned in the woods, and billowing black smoke rose with a strong smell of gunpowder.

This is a secret gunpowder refined by Zhu Tiandu and others based on the Wudang alchemy technique. It is called the Red Flame Pill and is quite powerful, no less powerful than the magic flame of Lian Sheng.

The most important thing is that this gunpowder is mixed with special poison powder.

If you cannot practice boxing to the internal organs so that they can remove waste gas and sediment through breathing and take in new air, just being in the process will cause irreversible damage to the body.

Because of its portability and power, this firearm has become the best weapon against experts. After all, even for a master, it takes a lot of energy to expel the poison powder.

If we could organize people to surround and kill them at this moment, the consequences would be unpredictable.

However, this thing has never been actually used since it was made.

After all, the imaginary enemy that Zhu Polong created was a master-level expert, and how hard is it to find a master-level expert in this world?

When they raided Xiangshan, there were heavy rain and strong winds, and they had to cross the strait, so they were afraid that the firearms would get wet, so they did not bring any with them.

Therefore, this firearm appeared for the first time when dealing with Xu Xing.

Zhu Polong's original plan was to let these assassins rush forward regardless of their lives, use the Red Flame Pill to compress Xu Xing's space for movement, and then let the other masters rush forward to eliminate Xu Xing in the shortest time possible.

He knew very well that Xu Xing's perception was terrifying, but his physical strength and physique were not that great. Facing such an attack, he would definitely die.

However, it was obvious that this seemingly flawless plan had a huge flaw at this point.

Amid the flames and thick smoke, a large iron spear could be vaguely seen galloping through the crowd. The strong wind and sharp energy surged like a broom. Wherever the spear passed, the flames disappeared, the trees cracked, and the human body shattered.

The man holding the gun was a tall and dignified man.

——It’s Qi Jiguang!

He twisted his hands, and the gun rolled and swept around. There were continuous gun shadows all around him, and the area several feet around was all sharp.

No one could have imagined that this pillar representing the southeastern government would actually get involved with Yue Daohai's disciple, the rebel who killed officials, the Great Sage Hun Tian!
However, there was still one person, or one existence, who was not shocked by the scene before him.

It roared towards the sky with a voice that shook the earth. The air within a few feet radius was shaken by the roar. The air flow whistled like a violent storm, showing clear transparent ripples.

In an instant, the four great boxers and the black-clothed men in the distance all felt the sky and earth darken, as if countless thunder and lightning exploded in the distant sky, making people's eardrums burst as if they were struck by lightning.

Xu Xing could feel something deeper from this roar. He realized that this man's aura was so strong that it was unbelievable.

Only when the breath flows throughout the body, and the internal organs, bones, skin, flesh, and pores become one with each inhalation and exhalation, can this kind of endless sound like thunder and lightning be produced.

In other words, this is not a sound that comes from the mouth, but a thunder sound forced out from the whole body!

Even with Xu Xing's boxing skills, at that moment, he felt as if he was in the center of a thunderstorm in the high clouds, being struck by lightning and struck by thunder.

He couldn't help but think of the thunderbolt he was struck by when he achieved the "Ultimate State of Skin Refining". However, even the real thunder could not compare with this "thunder sound of the physical body"!
In the blink of an eye, "Da Lei Tian" had forced out a golden needle from between the eyebrows.

His muscles bulged and his tendons bulged, like a giant mountain made of copper and iron, he rushed towards the strongest man in the field - Xu Xing!

A bloody wind filled with murderous intent, fighting will, and morale rushed towards you!

Even Xu Xing hadn't expected that after being completely liberated, this thing would be able to burst out with such vigorous energy and blood, as if - it had only truly woken up now!

Xu Xing grinned, with an extremely excited look in his eyes, and took a step forward, using the power of the "Empty Immortal Bag" to the extreme, and his whole body swelled and grew bigger.

The originally loose monk robe was suddenly stretched to the extreme, and the leggings at his feet were stretched to burst. Now, he was nine feet tall, only a head smaller than Da Lei Tian.

After it grew bigger, Xu Xing's skin, which was as white as jade and as smooth as porcelain, suddenly became transparent.

The hot blood was like red fire, boiling under his skin. He was like an active volcano about to erupt, and the air he breathed was scorching hot.

An extremely strong scent suddenly dissipated. It was clearly the scent of blood, but without any fishy smell. Instead, it had a lotus-like fragrance!
Thunder from heaven and fire from earth, a head-on collision!
The air made a sharp whistling sound, creating layers of air ripples.

The soil under the feet of the two men did not explode and scatter directly, but sank three feet first, as if it was hit by a magic spell of "pointing at the ground to turn into steel", and suddenly became as hard as steel.

The martial arts arenas of Northern Shaolin all have this characteristic, and this is because the monks practice martial arts in the arenas day and night, which results in these strange phenomena.

But now, just a collision between Xu Xing and Da Lei Tian, ​​similar to a "greeting", directly caused a strange phenomenon that hundreds or thousands of people had to practice hard for ten or even dozens of years to create.

However, after sinking three feet and being compacted like steel, the land still could not withstand such a strong force. It cracked into countless spider-web-like fine lines, then broke into pieces and exploded.

With a loud bang, the person who retreated was Xu Xing, who had been invincible since the beginning of the war!

Xu Xing retreated six steps in succession. With each step he stepped out, a deep pit was created in the mud. Countless loose soil and dust rose up from the spot. Smoke and dust filled the air, blocking his vision.

Although Da Lei Tian did not retreat a single step, his entire body was shaking.

It was as if an invisible hammer was striking the bell violently, making a violent noise. The sound waves were as surging as the tide, making the ears and eardrums of the people around buzz, their bones numb, and their teeth fall out.

Just as Xu Xing took the sixth step back, with the front of his back foot touching the ground and his heel yet to land, a dim knife light came from behind and slashed towards the back of his neck.

It was Tsukahara Bokuden. This old swordsman's ability to seize opportunities in battle was truly top-notch in the world. The speed and power of this sword were both extremely perfect. Before the sword came out, there was no sound at all.

After the knife was drawn, strong winds spread out, causing the surrounding trees to shake, and making a shrill whistling sound like the weeping of gods and the howling of ghosts. After the blade passed through the air for a moment, the whistling sound disappeared and everything was silent.

It was as if Tsukahara Bokuden wanted to use his sword as a boat to ferry all these ghosts to the other side, where they could find peace and freedom.

Buddhist sword technique: The sword of the other shore!

Compared to Kamiizumi Nobunaga's sword to subdue demons, Tsukahara Bokuden's sword is of a more extraordinary level, which is in line with the principle of "raising the knife to kill fiercely and using the means to save lives lightly".

The swordsmanship of this old swordsman has reached the supreme realm of "killing and giving life in one mind, Zen and sword as one"!

At the critical moment, Xu Xing underwent another incredible change. His skin and flesh suddenly shrank into a ball, and his robes fluttered.

Tsukahara Bokuden only felt that the other party seemed to have suddenly changed from a nine-foot-tall giant into a round, bright Mani bead, free and self-sufficient.

Existing in this way, even in the boundless sea of ​​suffering, one can remain spotless and pure without any blemish. Why would one need others to save one?

This is exactly the fighting style that Xu Xing has mastered after reading Shaolin classics in recent days. It is a profound boxing style extended from the Kuruo Zen method. The principle is similar to the Taoist "Baodan", but it is more resolute. When it is destroyed, no aftertaste should be left, and only then can one achieve true nirvana.

Once the fist's momentum was broken, the move had a flaw. Tsukahara Bokuden's hand moved unconsciously, and when the blade attacked downward, it tilted slightly and cut the robe on Xu Xing's back.

With one slash of the knife, the monk's robe on Xu Xing's back turned into butterfly-like pieces and flew everywhere.

However, with Tsukahara Bokuden's swordsmanship, everything he cuts off is cut in half with one strike, so how could such a shattering scene occur?

Tsukahara Bokuden clearly understood from the touch of the blade that when the blade fell just now, the robe shook and swayed, and rolled up layer by layer, and every thread seemed to have turned into an iron chain.

The monk's robe naturally became an iron net that was both flexible and hard, which slightly weakened the extremely sharp force of the knife.

This is the unique skin-refining skill of Southern Shaolin, the cassock-subduing magic skill!

The so-called "cassock" refers to the layer of human skin on the boxer's body. If one can use it to cultivate and achieve the realm of skin refining, it can be said that "the sleeves and robes flutter, and all demons are wiped out."

However, when Xu Xing used his "Empty Immortal Bag" body, he was able to unleash a power far superior to that of ordinary skin refining techniques, even through clothing.

If the sword strike just now had not been swung by Tsukahara Bokuden, any other big boxer would have ended up with the blade shattered.

However, even Tsukahara Bokuden was delayed for a moment because of this. During this short gap, Xu Xing, whose body had shrunk in size, had already crawled out from the robe.

He bent his body, stretched out his hand to grab the remaining robe, waved it, and the cloth swirled, rolled into a strand, and stabbed at Tsukahara Bokuden, causing a sharp whistle.

In Xu Xing's hand, this soft robe seemed to have turned into a real iron spear, piercing through the air, cutting a straight path through the smoke and dust, and piercing Tsukahara Bokuden directly.

The power reaches the external objects, the hardness and softness are at will, and the clothes can be rolled up into a gun!
