Chapter 32 The Accident
Zhan Feng Hua’s attack was brisk and vicious. That was something Xuan Luo did not expect. However, just as Zhan Feng Hua was about to touch him, Xuan Luo suddenly shifted and avoided the hit.
Actually, when Zhan Feng Hua was only two steps away from him, Xuan Luo could already feel the wind from his fist. He knew there was ma.s.sive power within the fist; he could feel Zhan Feng Hua’s nei li.
Back when he was in Qian Deng Zhen, Xuan Luo had accidentally unleashed his nei li before. His strength increased enormously when his nei li spread down to his fists.
Thus, he knows that if he were to get hit by Zhan Feng Hua, he is doomed. Therefore, he carefully a.n.a.lyzed Zhan Feng Hua’s movements; searching for his flaws. In an electrifying moment, Xuan Luo’s mind had already thought of many possibilities.
Therefore, Xuan Luo managed to avoid the hit by a thread. However, he still experienced an aching pain on his arm. The pain was from the outer nei li that Zhan Feng Hua projected.
Deep down, Xuan Luo sighed a breath of relief. He was fortunate he managed to avoid it just in time.
Although Zhan Feng Hua failed to land his punch, he reacted very quickly. Once again, he charged at Xuan Luo. But Xuan Luo has learnt his lesson, he is not going to get hit (well, he will try his best not to get hit lol).
Xuan Luo used his ba gua steps to avoid the hits, while at the same time, he also used his tai chi fist to dissolve Zhan Feng Hua’s attacks.
But although Xuan Luo battled with Tian Yu Zi daily, he has truly only dealt with Tian Yu Zi. Tian Yu Zi basically never attacked him. Each time, Xuan Luo was always the one who attacked first; while Tian Yu Zi defended. As a result, Xuan Luo’s experience is pretty much zero. Fortunately, in the past two years, he has learnt to quickly adapt to his surroundings and opponents.
Most of Zhan Feng Hua’s nei lai has been restored. Seeing Xuan Luo defending himself with his sequence of movements, Zhan Feng Hua felt irritated (like he’s not good enough). Therefore, he increased the strength of his attacks.
This is totally different from fighting with Tian Yu Zi. When Xuan Luo fought with Tian Yu Zi, he was always attacking while Tian Yu Zi defended. But now, the table has turned. Within a short period of time, Xuan Luo has already been striked many times. He has bruises and scars everywhere. However, that wasn’t enough to stop him from backing down. Instead, he felt more determined than ever. For Tian Yu Zi, he must fight on!
But Xuan Luo’s understanding of the Tai Chi fist is incomparable to a regular person. Within this short period of time, he is already able to defend automatically. Compared to a couple minutes ago, he has already levelled up. Not only that, he can pretty much predict when and where Zhan Feng Hua’s next moves would be.
Tang Chen stared at Xuan Luo; his eyes revealed his admiration.
Right now is the time, Xuan Luo told himself. Seeing Zhan Feng Hua jumped his fist (I don’t know what ‘jumping his fists’ means… Ah…sorry), he definitely cannot let go of this opportunity!
Zhan Feng Hua’s forehead was covered in sweats. His stress has increased substantially. At first, Xuan Luo had defended himself awkwardly. But now, Xuan Luo can totally handle him. How could Xuan Luo improve so quickly in such a short amount of time?
Yet, the truth was right in front of him. He sees Xuan Luo about to strike, but he reacted too slowly; and it was too late.
With a blink of an eye, Xuan Luo’s fist landed directly on top of Zhan Feng Hua’s lower abdomen. Xuan Luo used a lot of strength in that punch. When he was in Qian Deng Zhen practicing his quan fa, his strength had consisted of a couple hundred jin. Now, his strength is near a thousand jin.
Although the Tai Chi fist uses yin to overcome yang – with the focus on yin; it doesn’t mean that the Tai Chi fist has no power. Within the yin, there is the yang. If not, how can it be considered an attack and defend quan fa?
Bang! Zhan Feng Hua directly flew out; he had both his hands on his lower abdomen. His face looked sinister and torn (He is still on stage, by the way, he just flew out from the attack).
“You lost!” Xuan Luo calmly declared. What he didn’t know was, the core is within the lower abdomen; and the core is the most important thing to every Martial Artist. Having the core destroyed is more painful than death. In the Martial Arts world, the core is definitely the most valued thing.
“My core…” Zhan Feng Hua tries to unleash his xin fa. But he realizes his core has been totally shattered by Xuan Luo’s fist. How is he going to live?!
“Ah!!!!!” Zhan Feng Hua became like an enraged tiger and was ready to pounce on Xuan Luo.
Spat*
Zhan Feng Hua spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and lost consciousness.
“Zhan shi xiong!” The disciples from Chun Yang Palace directly ran up onto the ba gua stage. A group of them pointed their swords at Xuan Luo’s direction. Their faces showed no mercy. They were furious. It looks as if they wanted to eat Xuan Luo.
Originally, when Xuan Luo caused Zhan Feng Hua to fly out, the disciples from Zi Yang Palace were ecstatic. Remember, Tang Chen is one of the top disciples in Zi Yang Palace. If we are not counting the person from once upon a time, Tang Chen’s ability is number one in Zi Yang Palace. So, since Zhan Feng Hua defeated Tang Chen, it goes to show how powerful Zhan Feng Hua is. Therefore, seeing Zhan Feng Hua lose to Xuan Luo, how could they not be happy?
But while they are being excited, Zhan Feng Hua’s condition is not looking good.
“What did you do to him?” Wu Di angrily screamed at Xuan Luo. He pulled out his sword; his eyes were red.
Xuan Luo’s punch was actually an accident. He did not pay attention to where his fist was going to land. He only did it because it was an opportunity he didn’t want to miss out on. He totally underestimated the combined strength of his punch plus the acceleration of Zhan Feng Hua’s jump (OH I GET IT NOW. Zhan Feng Hua was about to jump to punch him, that’s what jumping his fist means.. ahahaha)
Xuan Luo is still confused. He doesn’t know how bad the situation was because he honestly didn’t even know what he did. His punch couldn’t be fatal, right?
Xuan Luo is speechless. He doesn’t know what to say. It was an accident. But even if he were to say that, would the people from Chun Yang Palace believe him? Clearly not.
All the disciples from Chun Yang Palace started pulling out their swords and got in their fighting stance. At that moment, the disciples from Zi Yang Palace couldn’t hold back either. Although there are only a few of them, they are not afraid. This compet.i.tion was way more entertaining compared to the past ones. In addition, most of the disciples from Zi Yang Palace who had lost hope have now regained their desire to practice.
Just like that, the battle fire of the two Palaces has been ignited…
