Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 82 Tian Ji Horse Racing
Cha Nan-kuan had no patience to explain to the wicked Taoist priest who was judging a gentleman by his own petty standards.

With a mere wave of his hand, Kakarot, who had been charging into battle outside and fighting alongside many Mongol soldiers, was summoned by Cha Nan and fell from mid-air, swooping down to attack the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest, dressed in magnificent attire, was shrewd enough to avoid being attacked by someone. Instead of confronting the attacker head-on, he twisted his foot, leaving two afterimages as he dodged Kakarot's attack.

He could avoid Kakarot, but he couldn't avoid the Gale Falcon that had been crouching overhead all along.

The Gale Falcon swung its wind blades through the air, the sharp winds quickly slicing across the Taoist's back, leaving a long, bloody gash. Before the Taoist could recover, Kakarot threw a punch, taking advantage of the fact that the full-power mode hadn't ended yet. His punches were like a tsunami, clearly a demon-subduing fist technique, but it had the flavor of a madman.

The Taoist priest was caught in a pincer attack by the two phantom beasts, and was in a very sorry state.

Cha Nan wasn't idle either; he stood to the side, swinging his hands, transmitting internal energy back and forth between his palms.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms are incredibly powerful, but they require restraint, leaving only three parts unused. Therefore, although they can become stronger with each battle, they always seem insufficient in power when used by ordinary people, unable to deliver a decisive blow.

However, there is a way to make up for it. Guo Jing's solution lies in the Wuqiu Palm, which is to use the Wuqiu Palm as a link to strengthen the pre-animation of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

It's like digesting the accumulated power of the previous few palm strikes and then launching the attack directly from the point where the palm power is already strong. This avoids the problem of not being able to unleash the full power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms due to insufficient skill, but it makes the palm technique cumbersome.

With the Swift Falcon and Kakarot holding the Taoist back, Cha Nan naturally had time to gradually build up his strength.

After unleashing the Seven Palms, the power in his palms gradually surged. If he continued to accumulate it, he feared he would lose control. Therefore, Cha Nan no longer hesitated and swung his palm towards the Taoist priest.

Yu Zhenzi was already somewhat overwhelmed by Kakarot's fist attack and Gale Falcon's sneak attack when he suddenly felt a dragon's roar and wind howl coming from his side. He immediately sensed danger and, without thinking, used his Divine Speed ​​Transformation to escape the battle and try to hide outside the door to avoid the attack.

However, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is not a brute-force, clumsy martial art. The key to its success lies in the principle of "repentance," which allows this seemingly domineering palm technique to be adjusted at any time. No matter how the opponent tries to dodge, they will find it difficult to escape its grasp.

Although Yu Zhenzi's Divine Movement was ingenious, he was helpless against this domineering and powerful palm technique that could also change direction at the last minute. When the palm wind came rushing towards him, he knew that he could no longer escape, so he could only hold his sword and fight it head-on.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the longsword in Yu Zhenzi's hand hummed continuously. If it hadn't been a famous sword, it would have been broken long ago by Cha Nan's palm strike.

Even though he managed to withstand it, the overwhelming force of the palm strike made Yu Zhenzi feel a tightness in his chest, and he felt as if he wanted to vomit several mouthfuls of blood.

Cha Nan's palm strike not only incorporated the subtleties of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Seekingless Palm, but also the astonishing internal force of the Heavenly Water Divine Skill, making this palm strike even more 'unforgettable'.

Such a powerful skill is so domineering that even if there is a difference of several realms, as long as you accumulate an advantage, you can suppress others with your power and temporarily ignore their realm.

Yu Zhenzi's hard-hitting was not just a simple case of internal injury.

Under Cha Nan's command, Kakarot charged forward with no defense whatsoever, his fists striking like pounding garlic, relentlessly and relentlessly, leaving Yu Zhenzi with no power to retaliate and only able to barely parry.

Cha Nan did not join the encirclement, but began another long pre-swing to build up power.

Yu Zhenzi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and immediately vomited blood.

How to fight this?
If he does it twice more, he'll definitely fail here.

"Fellow colleagues, do you still want to watch the show?" Yu Zhenzi shouted, suppressing the chaotic flow of his internal energy. He then spat out two mouthfuls of blood. Kakarot seized the opportunity and punched him twice in the chest, causing a visible fracture of his sternum and leaving a dent.

Several people flew out from the flames and thick smoke. One of them, a beautiful and alluring woman, laughed and said, "Yu Zhenzi, you should have said you weren't good enough. We have some connections with you, how can we just stand by and watch?"

Despite her words, her hands were busy. With a flick of her soft whip, she aimed at Cha Nan, clearly intending to use a diversionary tactic. Cha Nan moved nimbly, dodging the whip, but the two bags of rice behind her were torn to shreds, exploding all over the ground, demonstrating the whip's considerable power.

"Hao Qinghua! Hold back a bit. If you damage the grain supplies, the Khan will blame us, and none of us will be in a good position," said a burly, tall man in black robes with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a full beard.

"Dongfang Bai! Although we came to serve the Great Khan together, you shouldn't act like the boss." The beautiful, glamorous, and alluring Hao Qinghua said somewhat indignantly.

Cha Nan dodged Hao Qinghua's whip, but instead of feeling smug, he was anxious.

The number of skilled fighters on the Mongol side increased with each battle, and even with the help of magical beasts, he was bound to fail sooner or later.

Looking at the two main battlefields, Yang Guo and the King of Joy were locked in a fierce battle, reaching a fever pitch. The contest between their internal energy and palm techniques had reached a point where no third party could be tolerated. Their energy had almost formed a wall around them, and anyone weaker than them would be torn apart if they got close.

The battle between the jellyfish Yin Ji and the young man, which started first, was still going back and forth, but it seemed to be going at a lukewarm pace.

But this is precisely the most unfavorable situation.

The Mongols had the advantage of terrain and manpower. Once the fire in the city was extinguished, more Mongol soldiers came to reinforce it, surrounding the city in layers. Even if they managed to defeat the experts, they could not escape the encirclement and kill them.

"This can't go on! We have to break this deadlock!"

"We must untie one of our two Grandmaster-level experts so he can quickly sweep away these troublesome Innate and First-Class experts." With this thought in mind, Cha Nan leaped out of the burning warehouse and sped towards Shui Mu Yin Ji.

"Master! Let's switch formations!" Cha Nan only shouted this one sentence, but he believed that Shui Mu Yin Ji understood what he meant.

With a single palm strike, Jellyfish Yin Ji forced the youth back, and the resulting wave of water rose up and transformed into a ten-meter-high waterspout, preventing him from getting close for the time being.

"Hold on for the time it takes to burn an incense stick!" After saying this, Jellyfish Yin Ji left without any hesitation, handing over the battlefield, where the two sides were originally attacking each other, to Cha Nan.

She also knew very well that she had to trust Cha Nan and use a strategy similar to Tian Ji's horse racing to resolve the current predicament.

As long as Jellyfish Yin Ji can break free from her opponents and act freely, all those gathered top-tier and innate masters will be crushed by her as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Although Jellyfish Yin Ji is a woman, her moves are the most ferocious and domineering. She can use her strength to defeat the weak and often doesn't even need a second move.

Without these people getting in the way, the departure of the master and his disciples and Yang Guo's group will be much less troublesome.

The jellyfish Yin Ji, with its surging momentum, rushed towards Yu Zhenzi, Hao Qinghua, Dongfang Bai and the others like a giant sea crashing against a cliff. These self-proclaimed experts were so frightened that their faces turned ashen. Cha Nan, however, faced off against the young master who had an unparalleled strategy and seemed to be able to calculate everything.

At this moment, Cha Nan finally realized who this young man might be.

Liang Xiao! The protagonist of Kunlun, who possesses martial arts skills from the Poor Confucian School, the Black Water School, and the Heavenly Mystery Palace. After living in seclusion overseas, he created the 'Zhouliu Liuxu Gong'.

Although Liang Xiao is the protagonist of this world, he is different from the protagonists in most martial arts novels. Instead of standing on the side of the Han people, he joins the Mongol army and breaks through Xiangyang City. Of course, he has half of the Golden Family bloodline, which seems reasonable from the perspective of bloodline... However, he has inherited the lineages of the Poor Scholar and the Heavenly Mystery Palace, and was raised by the Hua family. He has received great kindness from the Han people, but he turned against them due to a moment of hatred. Repaying kindness with enmity is not the behavior of a human being!
Regardless of his stance, his martial arts talent is exceptional. Even among all the masters in the martial arts world, perhaps only supreme grandmasters such as Zhang Sanfeng, Ling Donglai, and Bodhidharma could surpass him.

Faced with such an opponent, Cha Nan forgot her nervousness and only wanted to teach him a lesson.

　Some might feel that the strengthening of the Mongol side is excessive, while the strengthening of Xiangyang is minimal, seemingly creating an imbalance. However, this imbalance is inherent. The Mongol army swept across Eurasia, possessing vast wealth and power to distribute and divide, and had ample leverage to win hearts and minds. Xiangyang, on the other hand, was practically destitute. Currently, gaining the favor of skilled individuals depends on their chivalrous nature. While many possess chivalry, they each have their own concerns. Temporary assistance is possible, but long-term deployment is unrealistic. Therefore, in my vision, Xiangyang and the Mongol side are inherently unequal in terms of long-term skill-based confrontations.
