Physical enlightenment begins with Xingyi Quan

Chapter 64 Showdown (Please subscribe!!! Striving for 10,000 words a day!!!)

On the arena, the moment Lei Xiao finished speaking, his figure shot out like lightning!

Without any probing, he immediately unleashed the signature killing move of the Zhenlei Martial Arts School—Double Thunder Strike!

He threw out both fists simultaneously, one aimed straight at Su Derong's face, while the other was hidden under his ribs, ready to strike at his heart at any moment.

The force of the punch tore through the air, faintly accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, revealing the peak cultivation of the Dark Force without reservation!

Su Derong's pupils contracted, and he took a step with his feet, sliding half a step to the left.

The fist grazed past his chest, and the sharp wind from the punch tore a hole in the indigo fabric with a "rip".

"Oh, Senior Brother Su, your footwork is quite good." Lei Xiao's attack missed, but he wasn't flustered. Instead, he grinned, his eyes full of mockery. "I heard you've been working so hard at the escort agency lately that you haven't even had time to visit brothels? Tsk tsk, what a pity about those new girls at Zui Chun Lou, their figures, their voices..."

'

He hurled profanities as he launched a fierce attack, his fists flying like a storm, targeting Su Derong's lower body.

Su Derong's face was ashen, but he didn't say a word. He just kept changing his footwork and rotating his Five Elements Fist, sometimes blocking and sometimes deflecting, and neutralizing Lei Xiao's attacks one by one.

However, Lei Xiao's cultivation was a notch above his. His peak internal energy surged like a tide, and every punch was accompanied by a muffled thunderous sound, which made Su Derong's arms go numb.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Su? Why aren't you saying anything?" Seeing that verbal provocation was ineffective, Lei Xiao intensified his attack. "Are you feeling frustrated because you can't even get into the Drunken Spring Pavilion anymore? How about this, I'll go easy on you later and only break one of your legs to save you some face, so you can continue begging for food from those gentlemen in the inner city?"

In the shaded area of ​​the Xingyi Martial Arts School, Zhou Yong, Wang Gui, and others had bloodshot eyes and their fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking.

He Shouzhou stared intently at the arena, biting his lip until it bled.

Li Chengyue remained with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the foul language, but the knuckles of his left hand, resting on the armrest of the recliner, had turned slightly white.

Chen Jianghe stood quietly, his gaze calm, but beneath that calmness, a chill was gathering.

On the stage, Su Derong suddenly took a deep breath.

He stopped dodging.

Facing Lei Xiao's powerful punch aimed straight at his heart, Su Derong suddenly lowered his waist and hips, and his right fist rose from below, unleashing the Five Elements Fist - Drilling Fist!

The fist rotated, its hidden strength concentrated at a single point, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, precisely meeting Lei Xiao's fist!

"You're courting death!" Lei Xiao grinned maliciously, unleashing his full hidden power!

Their fists met.

"Bang--!"

Su Derong grunted and took three steps back, his right fist turning red and trembling slightly.

Lei Xiao also took a step back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "That's interesting."

But he immediately sneered, "Unfortunately, there are differences even among internal forces!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved again, this time without holding back. His blood and qi surged, and an abnormal flush appeared under his skin. He threw out both fists at the same time, which was the killing move of Zhenlei Martial Arts School - "Thunderstorm Chain"!

The fists rained down like a storm, each punch accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, blocking all of Su Derong's escape routes!

Su Derong gritted his teeth and executed the five movements of the Five Elements Fist: chopping, striking, drilling, cannoning, and horizontal, making his body completely impenetrable.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Every punch landed squarely, the sounds of their impact like a barrage of cannon fire.

Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves...

Su Derong retreated step by step, until he reached the edge of the ring.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, his sleeves were torn to shreds, and his bare arms were covered in bruises.

But his eyes remained firm, and his boxing stance remained perfectly in place.

"Still not falling?" A fierce glint flashed in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he suddenly changed his move!

The right fist feinted, but the left fist, like a venomous dragon emerging from its cave, shot out from an unbelievable angle, aiming straight for Su Derong's right ribs!

This punch was cunning and ruthless, and the timing was perfect, just when Su Derong's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated!

With nowhere to dodge, Su Derong could only twist his body and use his left arm to block the attack.

"Snap—!"

A clear sound of bone cracking.

Su Derong's left arm trembled violently, his forearm bone fractured, and he was sent flying backward by the residual force of the punch, falling off the stage like a kite with a broken string!

"Third Senior Brother!"

"Young Master!"

The people at the Xingyi Martial Arts School exclaimed in surprise, and Zhou Yong and Wang Gui rushed forward to catch Su Derong.

Su Derong landed, spitting out another mouthful of blood. His left arm hung limply, clearly indicating that he could no longer fight.

Lei Xiao stood at the edge of the ring, looking down at him with undisguised mockery and smugness: "Senior Brother Su, you flatter me. It seems Xingyi Quan is nothing special after all. Should I give you some more time to go and call over some girls from Zuichunlou to cheer you on?"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

Everyone at the Xingyi Martial Arts School glared angrily, and He Shouzhou clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.

Lei Xiao looked around the entire area, his gaze finally landing on the gazebo of the Xingyi Martial Arts School, specifically on Chen Jianghe.

He smirked, his voice rising in a defiant taunt: "I heard the Xingyi Martial Arts School has produced an eighteen-year-old genius at the Transformation Realm? What, all you do is hide behind your master and watch your senior brother get beaten up? Chen Jianghe, do you dare come up here and let me see just how much your Transformation Realm is worth?!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire venue.

All eyes instantly focused on Chen Jianghe.

Under the shade of Zhenlei Martial Arts School.

Master Lei slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and his face showed no emotion.

Behind him, a close disciple whispered, "Master, with Senior Brother Lei Xiao's provocation, if Chen Jianghe really goes on stage..."

"It's alright." Master Lei put down his teacup, his voice calm but laced with calculation. "Lei Xiao has been stuck at the peak of Dark Force for over a year. Today's battle has stirred his blood and stirred his mind, which may be his chance to break through. Even if he is no match for him... if Chen Jianghe dares to use lethal force, I will take action myself."

He paused, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "If Lei Xiao wins, and even breaks through to the Transformation Realm in this battle... then my Zhenlei Martial Arts School can use this competition to step on the shoulders of the Xingyi Martial Arts School and sit on the top spot among the martial arts schools in Yilin County!"

He looked at his disciples behind him, his tone chilling: "Regardless of the outcome of today's performance, Zhenlei Martial Arts School will not suffer a loss."

"Master is wise!"

On the arena, Lei Xiao, seeing that Chen Jianghe still hadn't moved, laughed even more arrogantly: "What? Scared? Chen Jianghe, where did your ruthlessness go when you crippled Junior Brother Wanglong? Or is it that you only bully those weaker than you, and turn into a coward when you encounter a truly strong opponent?"

He took a step forward, his voice suddenly rising and echoing throughout the hall: "Chen Jianghe! If you're a real man, get up here! Let everyone in Yilin County see if your reputation as a genius is just empty words!"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

All eyes were on Chen Jianghe.

Under the shade of the Xingyi Martial Arts School, He Shouzhou supported Su Derong, while Zhou Yong, Wang Gui, and others clenched their fists, their eyes filled with anger and anticipation.

Li Chengyue finally slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Chen Jianghe but didn't say anything.

Chen Jianghe met his master's gaze and nodded.

Then, he stepped onto the ring.

The pace was not fast, even somewhat slow.

But every step he takes is as steady as a mountain.

He stepped onto the ring and stood five steps in front of Lei Xiao.

He didn't assume a fighting stance, nor did he gather his strength; he simply stood there quietly, his gaze calmly fixed on Lei Xiao.

"Xingyi Martial Arts School, Chen Jianghe," Chen Jianghe said calmly. "Please enlighten me."

Lei Xiao looked into Chen Jianghe's calm and unwavering eyes, and his heart tightened for no reason.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Lei Xiao sneered. "Let me see if your 'Transformation Realm' is just an empty boast!"

Chen Jianghe did not respond.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, his five fingers loosely clenched, and made a "please" gesture.

A fierce glint flashed in Lei Xiao's eyes. Without another word, he sprang into action!

"Thunder Fist - A Mighty Force!"

He threw out both fists at the same time, the wind from his punches howling like thunder, and the shadows of his fists filling the sky, completely enveloping Chen Jianghe!

With this punch, he had pushed his internal energy to its peak and even incorporated the "Thunder Force" secretly passed down by the Zhenlei Martial Arts School. The palm force was fierce and violent, and it also carried a strange force that could paralyze the meridians!

Below the stage, many martial artists held their breath and focused intently.

Lei Xiao's punch had already faintly touched the threshold of the Transformation Realm, and its power far exceeded that of ordinary peak Dark Realm!

However, faced with the barrage of punches, Chen Jianghe made a move.

He moved very little.

He simply stepped his right foot back half a step to the side and rear, and his waist and hips twisted accordingly.

Then, he raised his right fist and delivered a flat punch.

Five Elements Fist - Splitting Fist.

The punch was delivered silently, without wind, and without force.

It's so simple it's almost haphazard.

But just as the fist was about to touch Lei Xiao's fist shadow, the speed of the punch suddenly increased!

So fast that it was just a blur!

"Bang!"

The muffled thuds of fists colliding clearly echoed throughout the stadium.

Lei Xiao's sinister smile suddenly froze.

He felt an overwhelming force penetrate from Chen Jianghe's fist, running straight in along the tendons of his arm!

Wherever that force passed, his "Thunder Force," which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, melted away like ice and snow, leaving his tendons and ligaments sore and numb, and his blood and qi stagnant!

"puff!"

Lei Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

"boom!"

He crashed heavily onto the edge of the ring, struggling to get up, but he felt that he couldn't muster any strength at all!

One punch!

Just one punch!

Lei Xiao, who had just reached the threshold of the Transformation Realm, was defeated!

Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the figure who remained standing calmly on the stage.

Lei Xiao lay prone on the edge of the ring, staring intently at Chen Jianghe, his eyes filled with horror and resentment: "You—you—"

Chen Jianghe strode towards Lei Xiao.

Lei Xiao's face turned pale. He tried to back away, but he couldn't move.

"What—what do you want to do?!" His voice trembled.

Chen Jianghe stopped two steps in front of him, looked down at him, his eyes calm and unwavering: "You injured my senior brother and disgraced my sect. I will cripple your cultivation as an example to others."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his right foot down towards Lei Xiao's dantian!

Lei Xiao's pupils constricted sharply, and he screamed hoarsely, "No—!!!"

"How dare you, you brat!!!"

A loud shout exploded like a thunderclap!

Under the canopy of Zhenlei Martial Arts School, Lei Zhenshan shot out like lightning, his right palm already slamming down in mid-air!

Before the palm strike even arrived, a terrifying pressure from the Transformation Realm had already enveloped the entire arena!

If Chen Jianghe insists on crippling Lei Xiao, he will not have time to dodge this thunderous attack!

However, a cold glint flashed in Chen Jianghe's eyes!

He didn't dodge or evade, but instead stomped down hard with his right foot!

"Pfft—!!!"

With a muffled thud, Lei Xiao's body trembled violently, his eyes bulged out, blood gushed from his mouth, and his lower abdomen visibly caved in!

His aura dissipated rapidly like a punctured balloon, and his face, which had been distorted by anger, turned ashen white in an instant, his eyes filled with endless despair and emptiness.

It's ruined!

Chen Jianghe actually managed to cripple Lei Xiao's cultivation with a single, furious strike from a peak-level expert!

At the very instant his right foot landed firmly, Lei Zhenshan's palm strike reached the top of his head!

Chen Jianghe suddenly looked up and unleashed a powerful punch from below!

Five Elements Fist - Drilling Fist!

The fist rotated, unleashing its power, gathering all the energy and strength in the body, and met the palm strike from mid-air without reservation!

"boom-!!!"

The loud bang of fists colliding with palms exploded like thunder in the training ground!

Chen Jianghe grunted, the bluestone slab beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and he was swayed backward for three zhang before he could barely stand up at the edge of the arena.

His left sleeve was completely torn, and the veins on his bare arm were bulging. His entire arm was trembling slightly.

He withstood the furious blow from a peak-level expert in the Transformation Realm and stood firm!

Lei Zhenshan was caught in mid-air by the force of the punch, causing him to stagger half a step upon landing, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

He stared intently at Chen Jianghe, his voice hoarse: "You—you actually managed to withstand one of my palm strikes?!"

Chen Jianghe suppressed his churning blood and qi, and the trembling in his left arm gradually subsided.

He raised his head, looking at Lei Zhenshan, his eyes still calm, only a trace of blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "Master Lei, in a contest between juniors, life and death are irrelevant. Your disciple is inferior, so you want to interfere at the Zhenlei Martial Arts School? Can't you handle defeat?"

Lei Zhenshan's face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently.

He looked at Lei Xiao on the stage, his dantian destroyed and limp like a dead dog, then at the young man before him who had taken his palm strike but still stood ramrod straight. His eyes blazed with killing intent: "Good—very good! The disciple taught by Li Chengyue is indeed ruthless! Arrogant!"

He slowly raised his palms, purple energy swirling within them, and his aura erupted like a volcano: "Since that's the case, today I will act on behalf of Heaven and rid you, you vicious little devil!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved again, unleashing both palms with a thunderous force that hurtled straight at Chen Jianghe!

With this strike, he held nothing back, unleashing his full power at the peak of his Transformation Realm cultivation, determined to kill Chen Jianghe with his bare hands!

However, just as Lei Zhenshan's palm strike was about to reach Chen Jianghe, a long spear wrapped in coarse cloth appeared silently in front of him, like a dragon emerging from the abyss.

The gun trembled slightly.

"Buzz—!"

A deep humming sound resonated throughout the venue.

Lei Zhenshan's thunderous palms were actually deflected three inches by the slight tremor of the spear, and the force of his palms slammed into the bluestone slab of the arena, blasting a crater more than a foot deep!

Gravel flew everywhere.

Lei Zhenshan was shocked and withdrew his palm, then looked up abruptly.

"Lei Zhenshan," Li Chengyue said slowly, "My disciple is right. The rules of the arena are that life and death are irrelevant."

He paused, then slowly raised the tip of his spear, pointing it directly at Lei Zhenshan's brow: "If you want to touch him, you'll have to ask this spear in my hand first."

Lei Zhenshan froze.

Although Li Chengyue is still recovering from serious injuries, who knows how much strength the old man still has left?

a long time.

Lei Zhenshan slowly lowered his hands, and the purple aura in his palms dissipated.

He took a deep breath, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Chengyue, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master Li—you're right. I lost my composure."

He paused, glanced at Lei Xiao who had fainted on the stage, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, but in the end he did not dare to lash out again: "Today's matter is because my Zhenlei Martial Arts School is inferior in skill."

Having said that, he said no more, quickly walked to Lei Xiao's side, picked up the body whose cultivation had been completely destroyed, and turned to jump off the arena.

"Walk!"

He gave a low shout and walked towards the inner city without looking back.

The disciples of Zhenlei Martial Arts School hurriedly followed, all of them dejected and no longer displaying their previous arrogance.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared at Chen Jianghe, who stood alone on the stage. "Well done, well done, Xingyi Martial Arts School."

Applause erupted.

Zhao Wuji slowly stood up, a sinister smile on his face.

His cold gaze swept over Chen Jianghe, then landed on Li Chengyue, and he said slowly, "Master Li's prestige remains undiminished, and Young Hero Chen is a genius, truly admirable."

He paused, his voice turning cold: "However, the martial arts competition isn't over yet. Since Zhenlei Martial Arts School has withdrawn, then what happens next..."

'

He turned to the side and looked at the young man behind him who had been resting with his eyes closed.

"Litian".
