Men whose lives are marked by the presence of dragons and tigers are incredibly fast, exceeding the limits of human vision.
But even from that blurry figure, one could discern the style of Master Feng's punches.
Like a tiger leaping across a ravine, like a dragon wagging its tail, and including the imagery of twelve beasts and birds such as bear's shoulders, eagle's claws, and chicken's claws, the fist is transformed into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, combined with the five fists of drilling, splitting, horizontal, cannoning, and collapsing.
The style he used was Xingyiquan.
The monkey-like figure moved with practiced ease, its hands darting and weaving in front of its ears. Though in human form, the monkey-like concealment suddenly transformed its dragon-like body into a large macaque. The macaque's short legs stomped forward, causing both its form and the ground to tremble.
As the stance begins, the shoulders and back work together to generate power. The force is transmitted through the body, causing the left hand to pull downwards and backwards. The pull is like tearing. As one hand goes down, the other hand goes forward. Then, the right arm twists and suddenly punches out.
The fist, like electricity, belongs to the water element. When the water is still, it is a clear spring flowing over rocks. But when it moves, it becomes the tidal bore of the Qiantang River, like a large army pressing in, or the Yellow River surging like a dragon moving through the water.
With the movement of his sleeve and fist, a sharp "crack!" was released, and the fist, hidden beneath the crack, whistled as it aimed directly at Ling Feixing's eyes and nose.
The female warrior planted her feet firmly on the ground, slightly bending her legs and leaning back to narrowly avoid the advancing, drilling punch.
However, Feng Yuxiu's progress was relentless; though it seemed like he was only half a step ahead, his body was shaking violently.
The force of the collapsing fist landed on the missed drilling fist and then suddenly sank down, instantly changing the move.
Combining the power of the Bengquan (崩拳), the Zuanquan (钻拳) transforms into the Xingyi Piquan (形意劈拳), which belongs to the metal element, and metal circulates in the lungs.
The hissing sound of the airflow was like an invisible snake flowing around Yu Xiu's mouth and nose. He inhaled and gathered his strength, then exhaled with a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl.
The roar of dragons and the howl of tigers erupted in an instant, and the cleaving fist fell from the sky, just like wielding a hoe to till the land, or chopping wood with an axe.
It seemed that Fei Xing had no way to avoid it, and had no intention of avoiding it at all.
The stronger the opponent, the stronger it becomes? Wrong! It's to make the chopping fist "incomplete," to make its punching power less great.
Just as the lethality of clubs lies in their length, the lethality decreases the closer they are to the hand grip.
The same applies to boxing. The more fully the punch is delivered, the greater the damage it can withstand when resisting blows.
However, if the punching motion is not fully executed, the damage will be less.
Of course, this method is not applicable to the use of extremely large force within a very small area.
The way of martial arts is not about who can take more beatings, but about using the lessons learned from being beaten to fight back.
Now is the time for Fei Xing to retaliate.
His feet, firmly rooted to the ground, were as strong and sturdy as an old ginkgo tree, while his slightly bent-back posture resembled a well-stretched bow waiting to be released.
Suddenly, she sprang up her waist and butterflyed her legs, swimming as if she were treating the air as a stream of water.
As the butterfly kick and waist spring forward to meet the punch, the arms positioned on either side of the torso swing out in a spinning windmill motion.
She is like a freestyle swimmer, or a dancer in a synchronized water ballet.
It's more like martial arts than dance.
As the arms turned, the blood sank to the five fingers of the hands, causing the fingers of both hands to swell up by seven or eight tenths of an inch due to the increased blood flow.
A sudden, unexpected strike came from the right side, coming down from below.
Pi Gua Pi Gua, from top to bottom is Pi, from bottom to top is Gua, Pi Gua is a style that specializes in attacking the upper three paths.
The arm was like a highly elastic white waxwood pole, but more like a long, water-soaked whip that was both supple and sinister.
The sound of "crack!" was heard as the fingertips flicked away.
The whip-like or spear-like hook had already deflected the downward slamming fist, and some slight bruises immediately "appeared" on Feng Yuxiu's palm, but his powerful physique used the force to push the bruises out of his palm.
Ling Feixing, with his left hand already raised above his head, smoothly connected with the timing of the parrying punch, and then struck down from above, raining blows down on him.
The swinging arm produced a crisp, crackling sound from the tip of the whip, like a thousand firecrackers popping and crackling.
"His Pi Gua style blends seamlessly with Tongbei Quan, his concealed power forming a unified whole—truly a promising talent capable of embracing diverse styles. However… he clearly recorded all the secret fist techniques that haven't been lost, so why does he only practice three of them instead of practicing them all together? Strange indeed."
Pi Gua and Tong Bei have a long history and can be best described as two variations of the same boxing principles. Therefore, Pi Gua and Tong Bei can transform into each other and can even be integrated into one boxing style.
"This is not enough!" Feng Yuxiu thought to himself, grinning as forty fierce glints flashed from his white teeth.
The opponent was sent flying by the chopping punch. His only means of defense was his left hand? Wrong, he also had his foot.
As soon as the palm strike, concealing the entire body, landed, Feng Yuxiu had already taken a half-step forward, his back foot following with his heel. His entire body was affected by the movement of the first part, and the Xingyi Quan, honed through countless trials, had been infused with the feeling of fist. The half-step Beng Quan, honed day after day for decades, was naturally and instantly released from his heart.
The left hand, which had been tucked into the lower abdomen, clenched into a fist and then, at the opportune moment, took a half-step forward and delivered a punch.
Xingyi Half-Step Bengquan.
The punch was like a heavy hammer, and the force of the blow tore through the sportswear, slamming into the four bulging rectus muscles on the lower abdomen, which looked like they had been cast from molten steel.
However, this allowed Fei Xing to stand as tall as a mountain, enduring the devastating blow that could blast an ordinary person's intestines out of their body.
However, from the outside, this punch only caused bruising and purplish-black marks on Ling Feixing's abdominal muscles, along with the fist imprint and the muscle damage to the pulp. It also served as a buffer. The force that penetrated into his body destroyed his internal organs, causing varying degrees of damage to his internal organs. Although it was serious, it was not enough to kill him on the spot.
As long as you don't die on the spot, you, Feng Yuxiu, will have to withstand all the following moves!
Because Feng Yuxiu took a half-step Bengquan step, the Pigua did not hit Feng Yuxiu with his hand, but the eagle beak of his elbow had already stuck Feng Yuxiu's shoulder.
Those who achieve the Divine Martial Artist status are known as "Indestructible." This indestructibility stems from the "enhancement" of their body by their internal energy. It can turn every part of the martial artist's body into a weapon. Furthermore, the internal energy cultivated to the level of "Indestructible at the Divine Martial Artist status" can extend a short distance from various parts of the body at will, including the Eagle's Beak Nest.
The force bursting from the eagle's beak "torn apart" the fabric of Feng Yuxiu's shoulder. The combined force of splitting and hooking and the Tongbi technique, with its blunt yet penetrating power, pierced through the flesh. If the abdominal muscles that received the next half-step Bengquan were turned into minced meat, then Feng Yuxiu's shoulder would be "torn into strips of flesh".
Hmm? No, something's not right! It didn't turn into "shredded meat"! It's just a minor injury that doesn't really matter?! How could this be? He actually mastered the [Dragon Form] to this level in such a short time?! No, that's not right. He should have already entered the Dragon Form Tiger God realm, but he doesn't consider that to be the entry level. He genuinely believes that "profound mastery" is the standard for true understanding.
If internal energy can strengthen the physical body, then the [Secret Fist] technique represents a deeper level of "transformation."
The former is like a bodybuilder on performance-enhancing drugs, while the latter are like various Kamen Riders who were captured and modified by the Shocker organization.
Xingyi Secret Fist - Dragon Form and Tiger God is divided into two parts: the dragon form corresponds to the body, and the tiger god corresponds to the spirit and mind.
With a body tempered by the profound dragon form, it is so strong that even a high-powered rifle bullet fired at a distance of fifty meters can only penetrate the flesh by one finger joint, far from enough to damage the internal organs.
Ling Feixing was startled by Feng Yuxiu's Dragon-Tiger God Realm, but his expression remained unchanged.
The force generated from the eagle's beak is not the main killing move; the real killing move comes from the bent forearm connected to the fist.
If we consider the body joints as a series of chains, then the upper arm, connected by the shoulder and shoulder socket, is like a flail corresponding to a long-handled stick, with the torso as the main body.
If the elbow and olecranon are connected by a chain, then the forearm is a small flail corresponding to a short stick, and the upper arm is the main body.
If the wrist joint is a chain, then the fist and palm are a flail, with the forearm as the main body.
The flail was called the Panlong Cudgel in the hands of Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin.
The overtly clever aspect of this weapon lies in the fact that, even if the long staff is withstood during mounted combat, the locked and connected parts can still bend in an arc to deliver a heavy blunt blow to the back that cannot be ignored even with armor. If the tip is caught, the long staff can also be connected to a thrusting club to knock the enemy off their horse.
If the whole body is considered as a stick, then the part up to the fist and palm becomes a multi-section stick that far exceeds the length of a three-section stick.
The Flying Star technique involves a multi-section staff. The joints, arranged in layers, transmit and twist in an arc, squeezing out and entangling force to obstruct and seal the movements of the practitioner. Meanwhile, the remaining force is integrated and carried by the blood and qi, surging all the way to the fists and palms.
These fists and palms, which had swelled up due to the large amount of blood and qi, had also undergone the baptism of a secret fist, the name of which was Iron Sand Palm.
Then, the flail, formed by the upper arm, forearm, and fist, stretched out as if dislocated after the arc it had traveled.
But this is not a dislocation, but rather the Tongbei Secret Fist - Tongbei Ape, which can modify joints to make the arm span longer.
The violent punches tore open Feng Yuxiu's clothes on his back, his forearms struck his shoulder blades, and his fists and palms pounded heavily on Feng Yuxiu's kidneys.
Just as Ling Feixing took a half-step collapsing punch, Feng Yuxiu also solidly withstood the falling chopping punch.
The dragon-form tempering of the body makes this killing move less visible on the outside, but the internal damage is a different story.
It started in the scapular region, causing only a few minor bone fractures, and then it spread to the kidneys.
The hind kidneys were intact.
As expected, his dragon form was extremely profound. The dragon and tiger forms were originally a secret form of Xingyi Quan, and Xingyi Quan itself was an internal strengthening fist technique, not to mention the addition of the dragon form.
The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—and the five fist techniques—drilling, chopping, horizontal, cannoning, and collapsing—strengthen the internal organs. With the profound mastery of the Dragon Form and Tiger Spirit, Feng Yuxiu's internal organ strength is likely only slightly inferior to that of the older generation of master martial artists.
The liver corresponds to the tendons, the heart to the blood vessels, the lungs to the skin, the spleen to the muscles, and the kidneys to the bones. Since the internal organs are already strong, how much stronger are the five bodily organs that correspond to the five elements?
Ling Feixing was aware of the situation, but because of Feng Yuxiu's somewhat suggestive words, he did not think about it in depth.
In a battle between experts, her signature moves were completely ineffective; one wrong step and the whole game was lost.
Feng Yuxiu chuckled, straightened his shoulders, and unleashed his inner strength.
The Tongbi Pigua Panlong Staff, which had already exhausted its power, was also knocked away in one fell swoop. After getting up, it released its strength, but its hand was injured and was now hanging limply at its side.
She lost. Whether it was a contest of skill or a life-or-death struggle, Ling Feixing had already lost. She lost because she couldn't break through the defenses.
When masters clash, they stop when they've made their move to determine the winner, which is considered martial virtue. But when it comes to a life-or-death struggle, it often only takes ten moves or even less.
"I can hold out for three more moves, after which I will surely be defeated." The martial artist, having foreseen the inevitable end, gave himself a death sentence.
The comfort of life led to complacency, and now he's reaping the bitter fruits of his actions—a truly miscalculation. Fei Xing felt helpless, yet resigned.
Even if she only has three moves left, she will do her best to find a way to win, because it is her dignity as a martial artist. She will not just wait to die because she knows she is going to die.
He stood sideways, letting Fei Xing shield his injured hand behind his back, while his uninjured hand reached forward, hooking the four fingers together.
"Feng Yuxiu, let's fight one more time!"
Suddenly, Feng Yuxiu's smile turned into that of a ferocious owl. Then, his owl-like face seemed to ripple with scales. Although he was not particularly striking in appearance, his face already showed remarkable features. His three-dimensional features, in the shadows cast by the sunlight, seemed to depict the appearance of a dragon.
The dragon form is profound, and by surging the entire body with force, an illusion of a dragon will appear after it is activated.
The legs thrust upwards with a twisting step, the feet arching forward, stretching and bending as if folding and unfolding again; the hands chop upwards with a punch, the fist slightly higher, pulling the elbow up, as if folding again; and the body leaps and bounds, flexible and supple, kicking and stomping, moving like a snake or a dragon.
As the snake twists and turns, pressing closer step by step, Feng Yuxiu's arms and shoulders unite, his waist and hips unite, and with the twisting of the great dragon's spine, he unleashes his dragon claws.
The dragon's body twists and turns three times, no longer bound by fixed routines. Although it is in human form, it has become a hibernating dragon ascending to heaven.
Blocking the way for the rising dragon was Ling Feixing, who had prepared his first move.
The dragon claw reached forward, causing Fei Xing to step back slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the intercepting fist arrived.
The so-called Jeet Kune Do naturally focuses on "interception," with the key being to block the opponent's punches.
Although it's called Jeet Kune Do, it primarily uses the palm. The Secret Fist - Iron Sand Palm - invigorates the blood and qi in a single palm, expanding the blood-filled palm to intercept with softness.
The palm strikes the wrist like a dragon's claw, then forms a claw with the palm, the thumb, ring finger, and little finger together like a ring or a lock to hold the wrist joint, the palm heel pressing forward to bend the wrist, intending to seize it; while the free index and middle fingers are already placed on the skin of the sealed wrist to listen to the force.
At this moment, Tai Chi Listening Force has already sensed the rising and surging momentum within the self-sealed Yuxiu Dragon Claw.
For ordinary people, once they are captured, there is no chance to exert force; but a martial artist who has mastered the secret fist is someone who cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
The dragon shape moves through the wrist, as if the single hand has transformed into a head, and the dragon raises its head, its claws already rising to seize and grab, before returning to normal.
The grappling technique was broken by brute force; the first move was over.
Fang Qi's second move.
Although the grappling technique was broken, the full force exerted could still be heard through listening.
Then, the five fingers loosen, and the wrist slides down to the pulse, while the hand exerts force from bottom to top to push away the dragon claw. Then, the force sticks and follows, dragging and pulling.
Feng Yuxiu shifted his weight slightly forward, his body moving forward a little.
At the opportune moment, Ling Feixing loosened his grip on Feng Yuxiu's arm and forearm, then slid towards Feng Yuxiu's chest and suddenly exerted force.
The force originates from the ground, the whole force originates from the feet, is generated in the legs, is controlled by the waist, flows through the spine, from the shoulder to the elbow, from the elbow to the hand, the whole force that runs through each joint transforms into the force of impact, and the fierce general pushes outward at an angle.
The single-handed Tai Chi oblique flying stance already demonstrates a high level of skill. However, this is already the end of the second move.
Feng Yuxiu took two steps back, ordering Feixing to follow closely behind using the Mud-Treading Step technique.
The footwork follows the Baguazhang style, but the hand techniques incorporate the strengths of various schools.
This is... the third move to decide life or death.
He raised his knee and stomped his foot, closing in on Feng Yuxiu.
Ling Feixing began with a drilling punch from bottom to top, aiming straight for the jaw, while the dragon claws formed by the three folds of the dragon's body changed from striking to slapping.
With a single strike, the Flying Star Fist disintegrated and crumbled into five open fingers.
With the fist broken, he went with the flow, his outstretched fingers falling back to protect his cheek, resembling a tiger clutching its head.
The vertical pull that caused the elbow to be raised pulled the horizontal force.
The vertical pull and the horizontal tug form a cross shape that requires a change of perspective.
The cross-shaped force is embodied in this simple elbow raise.
This is the third move, and also the very last move in the combo—Baji·Single Form Top.
But—Feng Yuxiu stood tall and straight, his arms swinging like a bear crashing into a tree in a deep forest.
Xingyi·Bear Shoulder.
The dragon-shaped body was incorporated into the bear's broad shoulders and thick waist, and the free hand delivered a punch with enough force to shake a thousand pounds in the swing of the shoulder.
Using a fist to strike with an elbow is also a counter-punch that comes against a difficult situation.
The cross-shaped structure was breached, and the single-element top no longer formed a proper frame.
The forearm's ulna and radius are misaligned, causing a protrusion at the wrist joint, while the upper arm's humerus also protrudes at the shoulder joint.
This caused Fei Xing to clench his teeth.
Three moves have passed, and there is no chance of winning.
Feng Yuxiu's killing move is also ready to be unleashed.
"You have the right to die by my hand," Long Xiang roared.
Words are like a firing pin, striking the fuse of a deadly attack.
Ling Feixing, danger!
