Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 85 Senior Brother He Jinyin

So the key is how to stall for time.

Communication isn't a problem; Cha Nan can manipulate water flow and vibrations to transmit sound. If Liang Xiao doesn't have a similar method, he can only listen and can't speak, which will definitely make him even more frustrated.

The question is, what should we say?
Liang Xiao is no ordinary person. The methods of fishing and provocation can still be used, but a different approach is definitely needed, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

It can't all be lies; there has to be some truth to it, otherwise it won't fool Liang Xiao.

In a short while, Cha Nan had an idea. With a wave of her hand, she no longer targeted Liang Xiao. Apart from constantly adjusting her position to avoid Liang Xiao's pursuit, all her palm strikes missed Liang Xiao and hit empty space. However, it did not seem like she missed by accident, but rather that she did it intentionally.

Such behavior inevitably aroused suspicion, and Liang Xiao's eyes clearly showed a thoughtful look. He also slowed down his pursuit of Cha Nan slightly.

Of course, ultimately it was because he was a little hesitant to act rashly, afraid that he might accidentally kill Cha Nan.

If they were to go all out, even underwater, Cha Nan wouldn't be able to escape Liang Xiao's attacks in just a few moves.

"Judging from your previous methods, you must be proficient in arithmetic and formations. Can you tell what methods I used?" Cha Nan asked Liang Xiao smugly, his aimless attack going erratically.

Liang Xiao stared at Cha Nan, unable to answer, and only quickened his pace.

This time, instead of accelerating in a spiral motion, he seemed to merge into the water, using the water's thrust to approach Cha Nan. He was faster than before, and also more agile and free.

In just a few breaths, he had become more accustomed to underwater movement and found his own way to adapt, a talent that is truly admirable.

Perhaps if he were given a little more time to learn how to breathe underwater by interacting with the water flow using internal force, and how to speak by vibrating water waves, he would be able to do it too.

The so-called extraordinary talent is so abnormal and unreasonable.

"This is the Feng Hou Qi Men!"

"Everything in the world is different and varied. All formations and techniques are inseparable from the word 'change.' As long as one can control the changes of all things in the world and establish the central palace under one's feet, one can freely manipulate the four plates within the Qimen formation. The time, space, and the mutual generation and restraint of the four plates within the formation are all determined by me."

"While I may not possess the ability to calculate everything, this place is underwater, where all variables are reduced to 'water,' greatly diminishing the amount of calculation required. This gives me the possibility to use the Feng Hou Qi Men technique... Liang Xiao! You have fallen into my trap. Even if you were a deity descended to earth, you cannot escape your fate today!" The water rippled, transmitting the message. Upon hearing this, Liang Xiao was slightly taken aback. His left hand twitched repeatedly, clearly indicating that he had raised his calculation ability to a very high level, using it to calculate whether Cha Nan's casual moves earlier had any additional purpose.

However, Cha Nan only cared about bragging and didn't care about paying the bill. When he was out and about, he could decide what kind of martial arts he used. Even if he just slapped someone randomly, he could insist that it was the Tathagata Palm, and no one could do anything about it.

However, what is fake is still fake. Liang Xiao's fingers were almost cramping from clenching them, but he still couldn't figure out the hidden meaning in Cha Nan's casual moves. He suddenly realized that he had fallen for Cha Nan's trick again.

He can exhaust all numbers, but he cannot fathom the human heart.

The main reason was that Cha Nan spoke too confidently and truthfully, as if there really was such a technique as 'Feng Hou Qi Men' in the world. This made Liang Xiao wary and caused him to waste his energy calculating the result.

"I was just kidding. This is the Hundred Flowers Misaligned Fist. Its essence is to be ambiguous and unexpected!" Cha Nan shook the water again, but Liang Xiao no longer believed him. Although he did not want to hurt Cha Nan's life, his methods became ruthless. He pushed up a wave of water, with waves upon waves, like heavy drums being struck. The shock caused Cha Nan's internal organs to shift and blood to flow from his seven orifices.

As her internal injuries aggravated her condition, Cha Nan's control over her internal energy and the water flow began to decline sharply, and her speed in the water also decreased by 30%.

When a grandmaster no longer holds back, the enormous gap between him and a second-rate expert becomes unmistakably apparent.

"Not falling for it anymore?"

"Then we'll have to fight to the death!" Cha Nan hooked his hands together, and the accumulated power of his Dragon Subduing Palm stirred the water, drawing two water dragons that, like two chains, entangled Liang Xiao.

This move is not intended to harm the enemy, but only to trap him.

Cha Nan's entire delaying tactic was actually learned from Senior Brother He Jinyin. He first created a false impression to make the opponent suspicious. Liang Xiao was more likely to believe Cha Nan's so-called "Feng Hou Qi Men" because he was good at arithmetic, since he thought it was possible.

If this technique were used on a master who knew absolutely nothing about the subject, it would only invite ridicule and be completely disregarded.

Now that Liang Xiao is no longer fooled, Cha Nan will use the water flow to entangle and wear each other down. Even if he consumes more and more of his own energy, as long as he can prolong the time, it will not be a loss.

However, this fighting style clearly carried the mark of a desperate gamble. While Liang Xiao was indeed restricted, Cha Nan was also completely exposed to Liang Xiao's offensive range. One water dragon after another was easily shattered by Liang Xiao, and at the same time, the hidden force surging towards Cha Nan became increasingly turbulent.

He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, turning the water in front of him red.

"Do you want to continue? If you keep entangled, you'll only be courting death!" Liang Xiao stared at Cha Nan, whose seven orifices and even some of his pores were oozing blood, and actually shook the water as he spoke.

At some point, he also mastered the same skill.

Perhaps this isn't some particularly advanced technique.

Cha Nan grinned, showing her teeth underwater, and blew out a bubble.

"Come!"

The last lesson for physical education students is to be brave enough to give up everything and fight with their backs against the wall when necessary.

Sports competitions are sometimes a contest of wills.

Seeing Cha Nan, who was covered in blood but still smiling, Liang Xiao's initial contempt completely vanished. He began to truly regard the person in front of him as an opponent and harbored genuine murderous intent.

Previously, he had been thinking about the "Supreme Yang Skill" and had shown mercy to Cha Nan in every way.

Now, he has changed his mind. Even if he can't get his hands on the 'Supreme Yang Skill', he will still kill Cha Nan.

Because having such an opponent or enemy is a huge threat to those he cherishes.

boom!
The water rippled, and Cha Nan was finally sent flying out of the water by Liang Xiao's palm strike.

Without the obstruction of the water flow, Cha Nan received thirty percent of Liang Xiao's palm strike. If Liang Xiao hadn't failed to activate his internal energy to cause the internal energy injected into Cha Nan's body to explode, Cha Nan would have already been shattered into pieces.

Even so, Cha Nan was coughing up blood and lying on the ground in a pitiful state.

It seems like it's been a while, but in reality, the two have been fighting for less than half an incense stick's time, and Cha Nan has been on the receiving end of the beating the entire time.

Liang Xiao walked step by step to Cha Nan, looking at Cha Nan who was struggling to get up: "Why?"

What makes you go to such lengths?

Cha Nan looked up, grinned, and spat out blood, saying, "Fuck your mother!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiao was in a foul mood and stepped forward to slap Cha Nan on the forehead.

However, this palm strike did not cause any damage to Cha Nan. Instead, an invisible light shield exploded around Cha Nan. The shield that he had been enduring the injury without using was finally put to use.

"Finally... I fell for it!" Cha Nan immediately put on a new shield and wrapped her arms around Liang Xiao's legs.

Just then, Kakarot, the Iron Fist Ape, unleashed its first Spirit Bomb, while another Iron Fist Ape used Gorilla Combo to support Chanan.

The long-awaited Blazing Bull charged forward in unison, its ferocious impact seemingly aimed at crushing Cha Nan along with it.

The wolf hunters and the swift falcons were not idle either; at this moment, they unleashed their skills with the highest single-target damage.

In an instant, the condensed damage in one place exploded to its maximum.

Snapped!
Cha Nan's second shield also exploded.
