Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Chapter 226: Eight Extremes Collapse

In the courtyard of the Nalan family, Xiao Yan was challenged by Nalan Jie to fight. He stood opposite him, staring at Nalan Jie with piercing eyes.

After a while, seeing that Nalan Jie did not move, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, bent his body slightly, and spoke in a serious voice.

"Grandpa Nalan, Xiao Yan is going to attack first."

"Well, come on."

Nalan Jie still had his hands behind his back. His body seemed relaxed, but in fact his nerves were tense.

Nalan Jie had witnessed Xiao Yan's combat power which far exceeded his level with his own eyes, and he must not be regarded as an ordinary fighter.

boom! ! !

A loud bang suddenly sounded from under Xiao Yan's feet, and Xiao Yan's figure disappeared from Nalan Jie's sight in the blink of an eye. When he appeared again, he had already come to Nalan Jie's side. With his body slightly tilted and his long legs tensed, he kicked fiercely towards Nalan Jie's chest.

"Well done!"

Nalan Jie shouted loudly and quickly pulled out an arm from behind his back, steadily blocking Xiao Yan's kick with a muffled sound.

After missing the attack, Xiao Yan disappeared again. In an instant, he circled to the other side of Nalan Jie, clenched his fist with one hand, and smashed towards Nalan Jie's waist with lightning speed.

Bang!

Nalan Jie also pulled out his other hand, and his strong arm suddenly shook off Xiao Yan's attacking fist. Then he turned his hand and hit Xiao Yan's chest with a palm while he was unable to adjust his body, knocking Xiao Yan back heavily.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Xiao Yan was hit hard in the chest and couldn't help but cough violently while covering his chest. At the same time, he heard Nalan Jie's teachings.

"Don't be too obvious in your offensive intentions, especially when facing an opponent who is stronger than you. An overly obvious offensive move will be exploited by the opponent and cause you to get hurt."

Nalan Jie turned slightly and stared at Xiao Yan solemnly. After Xiao Yan calmed down, he nodded heavily, then reassembled himself and rushed straight towards Nalan Jie.

Just when Xiao Yan was about to get in front of Nalan Jie, he suddenly squatted down and threw a swift sweeping kick at Nalan Jie's lower body.

“It’s still too obvious!”

Nalan Jie’s eyes widened, and he stomped his foot hard on the floor tiles. Xiao Yan’s sweeping leg collided violently with him, causing the corner of Xiao Yan’s mouth to twitch slightly.

It's so hard! It's like kicking steel!

The pain from his calf made Xiao Yan's movements slow down instinctively, but he did not dare to stop any longer. He caught a glimpse of Nalan Jie's hand reaching out to him, and he dodged it by rolling over. He squatted on the ground in embarrassment, looking at Nalan Jie in front of him solemnly.

Nalan Jie frowned slightly, stared at Xiao Yan for a long while, and then slowly spoke.

“Xiao Yan, there is no need to worry too much. You can be more relaxed. I am not that fragile.”

Nalan Jie's words made Xiao Yan pause slightly and stand up.

"Grandpa Nalan, since you have said so, Xiao Yan will certainly do so."

Xiao Yan clenched his fists and put them back to his waist, spread his legs shoulder-width apart, and slowly closed his eyes.

It just so happens that I haven't really used that move in actual combat yet, so I'll take this opportunity to use it.

Looking at Xiao Yan who closed his eyes and was thinking about something, Nalan Jie was in no hurry to interrupt him. He just stood with his hands behind his back and waited quietly.

A minute later, Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at Nalan Jie in front of him.

"Grandpa Nalan, please be careful."

hum! ! !

"Um?!!"

Looking at Xiao Yan who was still standing in front of him, Nalan Jie's instincts began to ring wildly. The instinct honed from years of fighting on the battlefield made Nalan Jie clench his fists without thinking and swung them suddenly behind him.

Bang! ! !

Nalan Jie's fist collided violently with Xiao Yan's knee. A strong wind pressure surged from the intersection, spreading outward and sweeping across the entire courtyard!

(What's this?!)

Nalan Jie had a look of doubt and confusion, it was obvious that Xiao Yan's fighting spirit was the same as before, but this speed and strength were several times stronger than before!

What kind of fighting skill is this?

Nalan Jie couldn't help but think like this in his heart, but before he could figure it out, Xiao Yan disappeared again. Nalan Jie frowned and instinctively spread his arms to block on both sides.

Bang!Bang!

At the same second, two completely different directions were blocked by Nalan Jie! Feeling his slightly numb arms, Nalan Jie was horrified to the extreme!

His expression also became heavy.

I really underestimated this kid before.

The attack of a fighting master could make a fighting king like me feel my arms go numb. This is no joke!!!

However, before Nalan Jie could finish his exclamation, several instinctive alarms kept sounding around him. Nalan Jie had no doubts and kept using his hands to block the attacks all over his body. The dull sound of objects colliding kept erupting in the air.

But during this entire process, even with Nalan Jie's eyesight, he was unable to catch any sight of Xiao Yan, and could only rely on his instinct and extremely quick reaction to resist!

How ridiculous! ! !

As a Dou Wang, I can't even catch the figure of a Dou Master? !

"Grandpa, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Nalan Yanran was standing at the edge of the courtyard, followed by Little Medical Fairy, Qinglin, Ziyun and the Little Lion King. Led by Nalan Yanran, they were preparing to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

There was confusion in Nalan Yanran's eyes. She looked at Nalan Jie, who was waving his hands around, in confusion.

Grandpa, are you practicing new fighting skills?

Just when Nalan Yanran was puzzled, Ziyun raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Why did Xiao Yan fight with your grandfather?"

"Xiao Yan?!"

Zi Yun's words made Nalan Yanran suddenly tense up, and then she narrowed her eyes and carefully observed Nalan Jie's body.

Nalan Yanran looked carefully, squinting her eyes for a long time, and finally saw a faint black shadow flashing around Nalan Jie. Nalan Yanran was stunned for a moment.

That's Xiao Yan? !

If Nalan Yanran could still see a little bit of the remaining black shadow, Xiao Yixiang and Qinglin could not see it at all. In their eyes, Nalan Jie was just waving his hands aimlessly.

Nalan Jie felt Xiao Yan's extreme speed and powerful strength, and seemed to understand something in his heart. He shouted loudly while still resisting.

"Xiao Yan! Stop!!!"

Three seconds after Nalan Jie finished speaking, a figure appeared from around Nalan Jie, flew backwards suddenly, and hit the courtyard wall heavily, with the whole person embedded deeply in it.

If this person is not Xiao Yan, who else could it be?

"Xiao Yan!!!"

Seeing Xiao Yan show up, Nalan Yanran and the others were all startled, and they quickly ran to Xiao Yan, squatting beside him and looking at him with concern.

"Xiao Yan! Are you okay?"

"No, it's okay."

Xiao Yan said this, but looking at his grimace, he was unable to hide his pain at all, and he didn't look like he was okay.

At this time, Nalan Jie also walked slowly over, stood behind Nalan Yanran, put his hands behind his back and looked down at Xiao Yan, a slight fear flashed in his old eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yan, what was that move you just used?"

"Replying to Grandpa Nalan, this is a fighting skill that I have learned, called Baji Beng."

Xiao Yan remained motionless, still lying there, smiling and answering truthfully.

When Nalan Jie heard his response, he was silent for a while and then slowly spoke.

"Although I have never seen this fighting skill, I have heard of something similar before. However, I think it should be completely different from what you just showed."

"Grandpa Nalan is right."

Xiao Yan responded softly with a slightly bitter smile on his face.

Sure enough, it was too early for me to use this trick.

Xiao Yan murmured this in his heart, but Yao Chen in the ring couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Our disciple is simply a madman.

Eight layers of energy, eight layers superimposed, and added to one strike, which not only strengthens the attack but also can drive the hidden energy into the enemy's body to create a chain reaction, which is undoubtedly a killing move.

In other words, the fighting skill of Baji Beng itself is just a one-time fighting skill for a single attack.

But Yao Chen never expected that Xiao Yan would have the crazy idea to change Baji Collapse into a continuous enhancement fighting skill, and the key is that he succeeded!

Originally, the eight layers of overlapping energy were to be injected into the enemy's body, but Xiao Yan did the opposite and kept the energy in his body, even allowing it to flow through his meridians, thereby explosively increasing his strength and speed.

At first glance, Xiao Yan's idea seemed very powerful and there was nothing wrong with it.

It’s actually pretty awesome, but there’s definitely something wrong with it!

First of all, the lethality of the fighting skill Baji Beng can be seen from the conditions of training. Whether it is the strength of the body itself or the blessing of fighting spirit, a strong physique is necessary. Otherwise, if you forcibly use Baji Beng when your physique is insufficient, you will definitely be more seriously injured than your opponent!

But you have to understand that this is when the eight layers of superimposed energy are released! ! !

As for someone like Xiao Yan, not only did he not expel the energy, but instead kept it in his body to flow through his meridians. This is something that a normal person would not dare to think of. If he is not careful, he will explode first!

This is also the reason why Xiao Yan took a minute to prepare before using this move.

He himself knew how dangerous this move was to him. That one minute was all he had to do to keep the energy circulating in his body along the route he had intended. If there was even the slightest deviation, he would be instantly counterattacked.

However, even if the circulation route is perfect, the side effects of this move are very serious. Just look at Xiao Yan's current appearance.

"Xiao Yan, your body..."

The sharp-eyed Little Medical Fairy suddenly discovered some cracks on Xiao Yan's skin, from which a trickle of blood was oozing. She instinctively reached out to touch it, and Xiao Yan's panicked voice immediately rang out.

"Don't touch it!"

However, it was too late.

The Little Medical Fairy's jade fingers gently stroked Xiao Yan's cracked skin.

"Well!!!"

Just this light touch from Little Medical Immortal made Xiao Yan's whole body tense up. Beads of sweat instantly appeared on his face. His teeth were clenched tightly, and veins appeared on his forehead, which was enough to show how much pain he was in at this moment.

Xiao Yixian was also shocked by Xiao Yan's reaction. She quickly took her hand away and looked at him in surprise. Yao Chen in the ring also shook his head slightly.

Yes, this is the side effect.

The Baji Collapse that Xiao Yan modified was essentially using the energy to forcibly activate the body's activity, which was an overload consumption. When the Baji Collapse mode ended, the body would become extremely sensitive and unable to move for a while.

And this was when Xiao Yan's physique was far beyond the range of ordinary people. If it were a normal person's physique, he would not even be able to last three seconds and would explode from the inside without even feeling any side effects.

Of course, there is also a side effect, which is that because the increase in strength and speed has exceeded the scope of what one can control, it is difficult to move completely according to one's own will once one starts moving. This is why Xiao Yan stopped three seconds after Nalan Jie called for a stop, and why he couldn't control himself and slammed heavily into the courtyard wall.

Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Yan, whose face was filled with pain, and slowly put his hands behind his back, his eyes full of helplessness.

He had come into contact with many strange fighting skills over the years, and he guessed the reason for Xiao Yan's behavior.

It was because he guessed it that he sternly stopped Xiao Yan from continuing to fight. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to hold on, but Xiao Yan's body would be the first to collapse.

This type of fighting skill usually results in you hurting the enemy by a thousand but losing eight hundred of your own.

"Xiao Yan, you should try to use this move less often in the future."

Nalan Jie advised like this. In his opinion, fighting skills with such serious side effects can only be used as a killer move, that is, this move must never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

After making this move, your life or death will no longer be up to you.

Xiao Yan gradually calmed down, and when he heard Nalan Jie's words, he responded with a slightly forced smile.

"It's okay, Grandpa Nalan. I'm still in the trial stage of this method. Once these difficulties are resolved, there shouldn't be any side effects."

Xiao Yan's words made Nalan Jie shake his head helplessly.

Any fighting skill has side effects, the only difference is the size of the side effects.

As Xiao Yan's fighting skills forced his body to overload, no matter how hard he tried to reduce the side effects, the side effects would not be small.

If Yao Chen knew what Nalan Jie was thinking, he would only shake his head helplessly and tell Nalan Jie that he was wrong.

Indeed, Nalan Jie's idea is not wrong. No matter how hard you try to eliminate the side effects of this fighting skill, the side effects are not small.

But the key point is whether Xiao Yan himself can accept this side effect.
