Chinese martial arts: From human punching bags to martial arts mastery

"Once he comes in, seal off his escape route and leave no survivors!"

......

The murderous intent had been lurking in the shadows for some time.

Chen Feng had four silver dollars on him, which, at the black market exchange rate of two to one, was a full one hundred Mexican pesos.

He was already extremely cautious, exchanging only a small amount of money with silver dealers each time, but after several attempts, he still couldn't escape the watchful eyes of the Green Gang's greedy eagles.

Those silver dealers were dogs of the Green Gang. Seeing that Chen Feng was alone, they immediately had the evil intention of killing him, robbing him, and silencing him!

"Um?"

As soon as Chen Feng turned into a dark alley, five menacing figures instantly blocked all escape routes, preventing even a fly from getting out.

"Kid, hand over the money, and I'll leave you a decent corpse!"

The silver dealer on the inside toyed with the gleaming short knife at his waist, his face full of smugness and malice.

"Hehehe—"

The Green Gang thugs brandished iron rulers, grinning maliciously as they pressed closer, as if they already saw Chen Feng as a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"Come on—I can't wait!"

Chen Feng's eyes suddenly turned icy cold!

His muscles tensed up instantly, and the power of his minor mastery of hard qigong exploded completely—internal energy surged through his limbs and bones, the muscles under his skin were like cast iron, and his shoulders, back, chest, and arms were as hard as iron plates. Ordinary fists, kicks, and sticks could not hurt him in the slightest. Even a master of Ming Jin could hold his own against him.

"You little brat! You're asking for it!"

A Green Gang thug roared, and with a sharp gust of wind, he slammed an iron ruler down on Chen Feng's head.

Without dodging or evading, he suddenly tilted his head back and took the blow head-on!

"clang--!!"

A piercing metallic clang resounded!

The iron ruler struck Chen Feng's forehead, but was bounced high into the air by the impact. The thug's hand was split open, and the iron ruler almost slipped from his grasp. His face was contorted with horror—in all his years of life, he had never seen a monster whose body could withstand an iron ruler without getting hurt!

Chen Feng gave him no chance to react.

With a firm stance and explosive power from the waist and abdomen, the Tongbei Fist's deadly move, the "Mountain Splitting Palm," is unleashed!

His right arm lashed out like an iron whip, the edge of his palm cracking through the air with a resounding thud, and he cleaved the opponent's carotid artery with a single strike!

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was faint. The thug didn't even utter a sound before his neck snapped to the side, and he died on the spot.

"Damn it!"

The remaining three Green Gang thugs were both shocked and enraged. They went berserk and swung their rulers wildly, aiming straight for the heart and lower abdomen.

"Hey--"

Chen Feng let out a deep shout, gathering his internal energy from his hard qigong in his chest and abdomen. He suddenly straightened his chest and slammed into the iron ruler that was coming from the left.

"Bang!"

The iron ruler hitting me felt no different than hitting a metal plate; it didn't even break my skin!

Take advantage of the moment when the other party is stunned and distracted!

Chen Feng bent his left elbow and unleashed a powerful Tongbei Fist [Horizontal Block Elbow] strike. The elbow tip slammed into the chest like a heavy hammer, the force of the hard qigong penetrating the internal organs. The thug's chest collapsed directly, and he died on the spot!

"Kid! You dare—"

A thug on the right swung a ruler to slash at Chen Feng's shoulder. Chen Feng's shoulder muscles tensed up suddenly, and his hard qigong protected him. The ruler only cut a shallow gash on his shoulder.

"Hey--"

Chen Feng countered with the most lethal move of the Tongbei Fist – the Heart-Piercing Fist.

With the combined force of his shoulders, back, waist, and legs, the punch penetrated straight to the man's internal organs. The punch slammed into the man's chest, causing his chest cavity to collapse on the spot. He spat out blood and flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall, where he was no longer alive.

The last two Green Gang thugs were terrified when they saw this.

"Let's give it our all!"

One man grabbed a wooden stick from the ground and swept it horizontally, while another man pounced on him from behind and grabbed his throat.

Chen Feng spun around, his back as hard as iron thanks to his internal energy cultivation, and he remained unharmed as the other man tightened his grip on his neck.

He suddenly swung his arms back, unleashing the full power of the Tongbei Fist's "Mountain-Crushing Force," sending the man who was choking him flying!

Chen Feng turned around and unleashed a combination of a groin kick and a soul-chasing palm strike!

A kick to the groin shattered, a palm strike to break bones—the two men's screams were choked to death!

Until this point.

The silver coin dealer on the inside was already paralyzed with fear, scrambling to escape for his life.

"die--"

Chen Feng moved like an arrow, catching up in one step, and slammed the man's back with his [Supporting Hammer]!

The silver coin dealer coughed up blood, flew backward and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly!

In a very short moment.

Five corpses lay scattered in the alley. Chen Feng's clothes were slightly disheveled, but there was not a single visible injury. He slaughtered five people as if he were strolling in a garden, without even blinking!

He quickly looted all the valuables and grabbed the familiar old kitchen knife.

The next moment, the blade flashed like thunder—with a flick of the wrist, the force was immense, each strike carrying the heavy, powerful force accumulated from chopping wood, as heavy as an axe and as fast as a gust of wind.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

Horizontal slash, vertical chop, frenzied hacking—one cut cracks bones, two cuts shred meat, three cuts dismember the body into eight pieces!

In just a moment, he chopped the five corpses into the shape of a gangster eating another gang, cleanly and neatly, leaving no trace!

He wiped the knife, turned around, and left.

But as soon as he stepped out of the alley, he bumped into two Chinese police officers who had been following him!

"Bang! Bang!"

Upon seeing the bloody mess on the ground, the attacker immediately drew his gun and shouted for the culprit to be caught, and gunshots rang out in the street.

Without hesitation, Chen Feng turned and plunged into the dense crowd at Xinzha Bridge, using the crowd as cover to run wildly.

The police chased after them relentlessly, even calling on their friends to join them on bicycles, and the encirclement grew smaller and smaller.

Just then, a black Ford Model T roared past the street corner. The window rolled down, revealing Hu Tao's pretty face: "Get in!"

Chen Feng took a step forward, his body moving like an arrow, directly opening the front door and leaping up, landing steadily in the passenger seat.

As soon as he sat down, his gaze was instantly fixed on the car, his eyes shining brightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly, as if recounting a treasure trove of knowledge, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

"Holy crap! It's a Ford Model T! And the most classic 1926 black version! All-steel monocoque body, horizontal four-cylinder 2.9-liter engine, 20-horsepower planetary gear transmission—this is truly a legendary car that rewrote the history of automobiles!"

"Look at this mechanical steering wheel, these brass gauges, this purely mechanical gear lever—it's simply the pinnacle of industrial aesthetics! Robust and durable, with a simple structure, it won't break down even on rough roads. Decades from now, it'll be a museum piece!"

"The chassis tuning of this car is so solid, the center of gravity is stable, and the steering is heavy. It's naturally suited for handling. I never expected to see a Model T in such perfect condition in person. It's amazing!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke. In his previous life, as a die-hard car enthusiast and a modern-day office worker, he knew this groundbreaking classic car inside and out, and could recite every single detail.

No sooner had he finished exclaiming in amazement than the driver in the driver's seat glanced at him sideways, muttering disdainfully, "A nobody like you knows anything about cars? Pretending to be knowledgeable. This is no one you can criticize."

Chen Feng ignored him.

Sitting in the back row were Hu Tao and a stylishly dressed, flamboyant woman beside her, who was none other than Tang Tang, the daughter of Jardine Matheson.

Having returned from studying in Germany, she was more arrogant than Hu Tao. Having seen Chen Feng and his mother at the Zhang mansion, she immediately leaned close to Hu Tao's ear and spoke in a voice just loud enough for Chen Feng to hear: "This guy is just a poor kid from the shantytown. These people are lazy and have terrible character. Don't get involved with these petty scum. My dad reminds me every day to stay away from them!"

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow slightly...

The police officers on bicycles were already giving chase, their wheels spinning rapidly, and they were about to catch up with the car. Chen Feng immediately urged, "Hurry up! If you're any slower, we'll be too late!"

The driver, however, looked distressed and hesitated, saying, "What's the rush? This car is very valuable. If you drive too fast and scratch it, can you afford to pay for it?"

Hu Tao urged him on urgently, but the driver kept making excuses, saying he was thinking about the young lady's safety, but actually he wished the police would catch up quickly and arrest Chen Feng, this "troublemaker".

"Yes! Yes! Safety first!"

Tang Tang chimed in, her eyes filled with disgust and rejection.

Chen Feng remained silent.

He reached out and yanked open the driver's side door. Amid the other person's startled cry, he kicked them hard, sending them flying and rolling several times on the street, looking utterly disheveled.

"ah--!"

Tang Tang screamed, "You're so rude! I knew you were a savage by nature! Hu Tao, get him out of here!"

Hu Tao, however, couldn't afford to blame anyone; her mind was filled with panic: "No one's driving, what if the police catch up...?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Chen Feng had already reached out and grabbed the steering wheel firmly in his hands. He leaped into the driver's seat, shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator in one smooth motion, his movements were frighteningly skilled!

next second.

The Ford Model T, under his control, suddenly shot off! The engine roared, and the tires kicked up a cloud of white smoke as they screeched against the ground!

Chen Feng's top-notch driving skills, accumulated in his previous life, were on full display at this moment. The heavy and old car was like a nimble beast in his hands. He performed a series of smooth and fluid maneuvers, including handbrake drifting, inertial tail-sliding, sudden stops and changes of direction, and weaving through narrow roads. The two women were stunned and turned pale!

The police officers behind them rode bicycles and used their familiarity with the terrain to ambush the suspects through the alleys, giving chase all the way.

"court death!"

Chen Feng jerked the steering wheel and pulled the handbrake, causing the car to drift 360 degrees on the spot. The black car swung sideways like a giant steel axe, directly smashing the three police officers in front of it, along with the car, flying away!

The bicycle twisted and deformed, and the three people screamed as they fell into the Suzhou River.

Immediately afterwards, he changed lanes repeatedly, weaving through the streets and alleys. He turned the steering wheel rapidly and controlled the throttle with extreme precision. He didn't slow down for each turn, drifting directly into the corner. The tires screeched as they rubbed against the ground, leaving behind black tire tracks.

Hu Tao gripped the handrail tightly, her pupils trembling. She had never seen anyone drive a bulky Ford Model T so wildly and so precisely in her life!

Tang Tang was so frightened that her whole body stiffened and her face turned as white as paper.

Chen Feng sped along, displaying his exceptional driving skills, completely shaking off the pursuing police convoy and leaving it in pieces. In just a few minutes, he had left his pursuers far behind.

The engine was still humming softly as the car came to a steady stop in front of Hu Qing Yu Tang.

The two women remained frozen in their seats, unable to recover for a long time.

next second.

Tang Tang was about to start cursing again, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't hold back anymore and bent over to vomit uncontrollably, almost bringing up bile.

Looking at Chen Feng, who was breathing steadily and had sharp eyes in the driver's seat, Hu Tao felt a surge of turmoil in her heart.

Chen Feng from this shantytown!

Just how many incredible abilities are still hidden?
