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

"Bang—!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the ten-zhang-high platform in the river exploded!

No one expected that a powerful explosive had been planted inside the wooden pillars that formed the platform!

The solid wooden beams, as thick as buckets, exploded into countless fragments on the spot. Crimson flames swept across the sky with overwhelming force, flames shot into the heavens, and billowing black smoke reached straight into the sky.

The entire Bund was illuminated by this blinding firelight, and from a distance, it looked like a living hell.

"boom--!"

The scorching heatwave carried flying gravel and wood chips, sparks rained down, and a gust of river wind caused the flames to surge several meters higher. The smells of burnt food, blood, and smoke mingled together, permeating the entire riverbank and making people's heads ache.

Amidst the raging flames.

Chen Feng used Qian Hu's corpse to block most of the shockwave. Although he was not seriously injured, he was still shaken and his blood and qi were turbulent and his internal energy was disordered.

"Whoosh—!"

With a sudden push off the collapsed platform, he leaped out of the sea of ​​fire like a black eagle soaring into the sky.

The person was still suspended in mid-air.

"Bang—!"

The pile of timber on the riverbank exploded again with a loud bang—fortunately, he had kicked away a shuttlecock of timber beforehand in order to go on stage, so the power of this second explosion was greatly reduced, only causing a wave of fire and wood chips, and it did not harm him in the slightest.

At this critical moment, a deadly killing intent suddenly locked onto Chen Feng in mid-air!

In a dark corner a hundred meters away.

Octopus stood holding a gun, his late-stage Ming Jin cultivation concentrated in his arm, the cold muzzle of the rifle locked firmly against Chen Feng in mid-air.

This man was as sinister as a venomous snake, his marksmanship ruthless and precise. He had been lying in wait, ready to strike a fatal blow: "With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, this shot will surely kill you!"

At the critical moment!

Chen Feng's martial arts intuition instantly warned him, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He felt a life-or-death crisis looming over him!

Without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Feng twisted his body in mid-air like a startled swan in the wind, abruptly changing his trajectory. His right hand flashed to his waist, the Mauser pistol was instantly drawn, and his fingertip decisively pulled the trigger!

"Bang bang bang bang bang——!!"

Five bullets flew in a line of fire, so fast that their trajectory was almost invisible to the naked eye, and they hurtled straight toward the octopus's hiding place!

"No--!"

The octopus's expression changed drastically; it was utterly horrified!

He never expected that Chen Feng in mid-air could launch such a precise counterattack. In a moment of haste, he pulled the trigger, and five bullets flew out!

In the blink of an eye.

"Ding ding ding ding ding!"

Five crisp, ear-piercing metallic clangs rang out in the air!

Ten bullets collided precisely in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere. The bullets were deformed and shattered by the impact, falling towards the river surface with a rustling sound!

This scene was so bizarre that it seemed as if time itself had stood still, causing the hearts of those watching from afar to stop!

This is not over yet!

"Bang bang bang—!"

Chen Feng's descent continued unabated. His wrist remained as steady as a mountain, and his fingertips pulled the trigger again, unleashing the remaining five bullets from the chamber!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Bullets flew like meteors, blocking all of the octopus's escape routes!

The octopus was terrified and dared not reload the magazine. Relying on his Ming Jin cultivation, he lunged to the side, narrowly avoiding the first four bullets that were about to pierce his brain. But the fifth bullet seemed to have eyes and "thud" pierced his heel!

"ah--!"

The dull thud of bones breaking, accompanied by excruciating pain, was followed by a shrill scream that sounded inhuman as the octopus staggered and collapsed to the ground.

He dared not linger in the fight. Enduring the excruciating pain, he suddenly flipped over the railing and plunged into the icy Suzhou River with a "plop." He abandoned his gun and fled in panic.

This incredible comeback from the brink of defeat!

All of this fell into the sight of Xiang Gongpi and his fellow disciples from the Yan family, leaving everyone speechless and utterly shocked by Chen Feng's spear skills and martial arts prowess.

One side of the riverbank.

Du Yuesheng watched the entire confrontation unfold, his knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white, his eyes blazing with fury and resentment.

He painstakingly planned, using explosives and snipers, but Chen Feng managed to break through his scheme!

Although he was seething with hatred, he knew that there was no chance of winning here!

"snort--!"

He gritted his teeth, filled with resentment, and climbed into a black Ford sedan, stepping on the gas and speeding away.

"interesting!"

Zhang Xiaolin, standing to the side, had a deep look in his eyes, a hint of understanding flashing across them.

He knew Du Yuesheng too well—he was a man who wouldn't act without self-interest, and he would never kill a top martial arts master over a few pieces of land or some trivial grudge between his disciples.

In a flash, he realized the truth—this was the Japanese's intention!

Having figured this out, Zhang Xiaolin's lips curled into a subtle and greedy smile. He was already plotting a bold scheme to take advantage of the situation. He lowered his head, got into his car, and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

And at the very moment the explosion occurred.

Seeing that things were not going well, the two old foxes, Master Gu and Master Wang, fled in panic without saying a word, leading their men to escape faster than rabbits, without the slightest hesitation.

The banks of the Suzhou River at this moment.

The deafening roar terrified the people on both sides of the strait, causing the crowd to collapse instantly and flee in all directions like a swarm of startled ants.

"Ah—it exploded! Help!"

"You're stepping on me! Someone help me out!"

"Run! Someone's going to die!"

"Damn it! Who did this?! May they die a horrible death!"

The sounds of wailing, cries for help, sobs, and terrified curses mingled together, turning the riverbank into a living hell.

An elderly person was knocked to the ground, a child was pushed around by the crowd and cried loudly, a woman with disheveled hair desperately tried to protect her child, countless people trampled each other in the chaos, screams echoed, blood stained the ground red, and corpses lay in the road, a gruesome sight.

Hu Mingxuan and the staff of Hu Qingyutang formed a human wall with their lives on the line. Their faces were ashen, and they had only one thought in their minds—to protect the young ladies even at the cost of their lives!

But the surging crowd kept crashing into each other, and the human wall was on the verge of collapse, with gaps being torn open one after another, and it was on the verge of disintegrating at any moment.

The three girls, Hu Tao, Xiao A Qiao, and Tang Tang, who were being protected in the very center, were trembling with fear. Their faces were ashen, their hearts were pounding so hard they felt like they were going to burst out of their chests, and their eyes were filled with terror. They felt like they would be overwhelmed by the frenzied crowd at any moment.

At this critical juncture, where life and death hang in the balance!

A tall, spear-like figure flashed by like lightning and stood firmly in front of the human wall!

The newcomer was none other than Chen Feng!

His aura was icy cold; the mere sight of him was like an impregnable fortress, a vast army!

A powerful aura suddenly spread out, and no matter how wildly the surging crowd crashed into it, it remained completely still!

finally.

Thanks to Chen Feng's powerful protection, the three women and Hu Mingxuan and the others finally escaped danger!

As the crowd gradually calmed down.

The riverbank was left in ruins, with broken bricks and tiles, bloodstains, and the bodies of countless innocent people lying scattered on the ground. A deathly silence and sorrow enveloped the entire scene.

The high platform in the river had long been blasted into fragments, which flowed slowly into the Huangpu River with the Suzhou Creek, their waves rolling endlessly.

Chen Feng's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared at the surging river—the octopus was not dead, this man must be eliminated!

Just then.

Yan Tieqiao led his fellow disciples from the Yan Clan over quickly.

The eldest brother, his face contorted with rage and lingering fear, exclaimed, "That bastard Du Yuesheng is too insidious! Explosives and snipers—he's utterly depraved!"

The junior sister patted her chest in fright, her face pale, filled with lingering fear: "Senior brother is too amazing! His physical body is invincible, and his marksmanship is even more divine. Otherwise, it would have been really dangerous just now!"

Chen Feng nodded slightly, his expression solemn, his voice cold and deep.

"This place is dangerous; we shouldn't stay any longer. Let's go!"
