ard couldn't believe his ears.“This is the consequence of your disobedience,” Chen Maidong slapped the armrest of the chair: "Why aren’t you slapping yourself!""Snap!" An audible sound rang out and a...Chapter 165: No Matter How High Your Martial Arts Skill, You're Afraid of a Cleaver!
"Well done, young man. To be able to recognize me. Xie Anping smiled coldly and said, "However, you still lack the capability to kill me. Nowadays, many youngsters tend to overestimate themselves."
Xie Anping had disappeared from the江湖for a long time; he never expected that his first appearance today would be recognized by a young man who looked no older than thirty, which was rather surprising.
Obviously, Xie Anping believed Wang Zheng wasn't his match. Although the throwing weapon technique earlier was impressive, it only made Xie Anping somewhat wary.
"I may have overestimated myself but I really want to taste what it's like defeating the Wing Chun Battle King, Xie Anping! Or would you just let me" Wang Zheng smiled slightly and slid his feet continuously, instantly appearing before Xie Anping!
At the same time, Wang Zheng's fist flashed out lightning-fast!
"So quick!"
Sensing the gust of wind rushing towards him, Xie Anping grunted and waved a lifting hand that looked soft but was in reality as swift as thunder! Wang Zheng didn't expect that Xie Anping's fist technique could create such an illusion!
Xie Anping's lift did not dither at all, targeting the wrist joint of Wang Zheng's right hand. If hit, the joint cartilage would likely shatter immediately. No one knew how terrifyingly powerful those seemingly thin fingers were; Wang Zheng didn't want to test them.
As Xie Anping’s lift was about to strike Wang Zheng's right wrist, the latter suddenly changed tactics, his fist that seemed aimed directly at Xie Anping's torso abruptly veered around Xie Anping's hand, and his elbow, with a sharp point gleaming coldly, went straight for Xie Anping’s throat!
This move was self-created by Wang Zheng; it had once been promoted within the Chinese Special Forces, and Cheng Yuling had used this technique against Wang Zheng. If mastered, it made killing very convenient indeed.
No one knew how Wang Zheng managed to place that sharp point at his elbow tip, but it was about two inches long, piercing through clothing with a dark sheen in the night making it hard to spot. If this elbow strike hit its mark, Xie Anping's throat would be torn open and he, as an era-defining master, would meet his end.
Of course, given Xie Anping’s abilities, he wouldn't fail so easily. He merely tilted his head back slightly, withdrawing by just an inch to narrowly evade this fatal move!
Equally, Wang Zheng didn’t expect such a simple feint could end Xie Anping's life; otherwise, the old man called "Wing Chun Battle King" wouldn't be worthy of his title.
The moment Wang Zheng’s elbow swung empty, his left fist already followed up in cover of the right elbow to attack Xie Anping's abdomen! The move was extremely quick and covert!
How could Xie Pingsan fail to notice this He deflected Wang Zheng's fist with a light, effortless block. This time, Wang Zheng felt an overwhelming force surge through his own fist and down his entire arm!
"What immense strength!"
Wang Zheng hadn't expected Xie Pingsan to possess such terrifying power. He realized he had no choice but to retract his punch; if he resisted, it was possible that Xie Pingsan could cripple his entire arm. So Wang Zheng's figure suddenly twisted and his right arm fiercely struck at Xie Pingsan's forehead. When the other party lifted their hand again, Wang Zheng swiftly retreated!
As he watched the calm-faced elder opposite him, Wang Zheng took a deep breath, massaging his numb left arm with a stern expression.
"If you can't kill me, then come back with me," Xie Pingsan said coldly. "But because of your disrespect towards me, I have to disable one of your arms."
Wang Zheng snorted coldly, his figure rising once again. "What arrogance! You're nothing more than an old dog in the Su family!"
This time, Wang Zheng's punch speed was clearly faster, using both fists and feet simultaneously without adhering to the principle of not lifting both feet at once, launching attacks like a sudden downpour.
Xie Pingsan stood with his legs slightly apart in a stable stance. Facing Wang Zheng's relentless assault, he defended effortlessly, creating an impression of impenetrable solidity—there were no openings for external attack!
No matter how fast or powerful Wang Zheng’s attacks were, Xie Pingsan could always meet them with ease. Even under Wang Zheng's fierce onslaught, his feet didn't budge even half a step.
"What formidable defense," thought Wang Zheng in alarm. This Xie Pingsan truly deserved the title of "Wing Chun War King." Devoting a lifetime to Wing Chun boxing, each move appeared casual yet had been honed down to simplicity, reaching an apex of perfection; every one of his attacks was easily blocked by this elder.
"Your speed is already very fast, but you're still lacking in another tier," Xie Pingsan said as he suddenly stepped forward, left hand guarding and deflecting Wang Zheng's right leg, while the right hand launched a straight punch at Wang Zheng’s chest!
No fancy moves, simple and direct.
Wing Chun boxing emphasizes balanced offense and defense with simultaneous attack and guard, requiring no deliberate switching between them; it focuses on central line attacks. It's worth noting that if one were to attack the enemy's left or right side, their power could easily be deflected, whereas human body’s centerline is hardest to defend against—deflecting force is extremely difficult there!
Xie Pingsan's first punch hadn't even landed when another followed. These two punches appeared simple and straightforward but were extremely hard for Wang Zheng to defend against; dodging them at this speed was impossible, leaving him no choice but to bring his hands back and barely block the strikes in front of him.
Xie Pingsan's unadorned double punches heavily struck Wang Zheng’s palms with full force. The powerful punch passed through Wang Zheng’s palms and struck his chest; it felt like he had been hit by a mace, causing suffocation so severe that he was about to vomit blood. Unable to maintain balance anymore, Wang Zheng staggered back several steps.
"Among the young people, you are quite decent." Instead of pressing his advantage, Xie Pingan didn't want to push too hard. After being locked away for so many years, he had finally encountered someone worth his effort; he wasn't about to kill this promising youth outright.
Wang Zheng snorted coldly. He forced down the bloody taste in his throat and tried to calm the churning within his abdomen caused by Xie Pingan's punches. But he knew that he must hold back, or else once the blood came out, all the energy he had gathered would dissipate.
Xie Pingan retracted his hands and stood still. He had spent years in solitary training, and now his fists alone could shatter stones and pierce metal. Although these two punches seemed casual, they contained over eighty percent of his strength; yet all they did was make this young man step back a few paces!
"Although you are decent, if I were to attack with full force, you wouldn't have the slightest chance." Xie Pingan adopted Wing Chun’s starting stance and looked at Wang Zheng, his eyes flashing.
This young man must be eliminated! Otherwise, allowing him to grow would result in unimaginable achievements!
But Wang Zheng just laughed and said, "Don't get too excited; it's still uncertain who will come out on top."
After speaking, he pushed off with his feet, accelerating once more. His body shot forward like a cannonball towards Xie Pingan.
The spot where Wang Zheng had stood earlier was already dented from the force of his landing.
Xie Pingan's eyes narrowed as he realized that Wang Zheng’s speed had actually increased compared to before. He slid sideways, narrowly dodging Wang Zheng’s flying kick and threw a right straight punch at his midsection!
But just when Xie Pingan thought he would strike Wang Zheng in the chest, an invisible blade light suddenly erupted from beneath him!
The moonlight-like glint of the knife slashed upwards towards Xie Pingan's right arm!
This was none other than the recently subjugated Japanese man, a prodigy in the Mad Saber Style—Mitsui Junichi.
Mitsui had just broken away from Wang Zheng but now he returned unexpectedly!
From his current position, if Xie Pingan didn’t pull back, that knife beam would surely sever one of his arms.
Faced with this sudden change, Xie Pingan quickly retracted his hand and stepped back. With two flicking motions, he deflected the lightning-fast saber attack!
Mitani Junichi stood still holding his sword, with a cold and combative gaze. He hadn’t expected to encounter two super experts in one day, which made him itching to fight.
Holding the sword seemed to transform Mitani Junichi into someone else; his entire demeanor became more fierce!
Wang Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Old man, when you gang up on one person, I’ll see if you can still be so arrogant."
After speaking, Wang Zheng once again threw out a handful of silver needles and his body suddenly moved, following the silver needles to dash towards Xie Anping! Compared to the speed of dark weapons, Wang Zheng was also not any slower!
At this time, Mitani’s long sword began to exert its power. Blinding sword light flashed out, instantly enveloping Xie Anping with a fierce wind!
Xie Anping, truly an expert of his generation, remained calm under unexpected circumstances. Being attacked by two people at the same time did not cause him any disturbance; he fought steadily and accurately found where the blades were every time through the sharp flashes of light, then slapped them away with a palm!
Mitani Junichi’s first move allowed Wang Zheng to switch from main attack to auxiliary attack. Mitani Junichi held his sword and charged straight ahead, while Wang Zheng secretly attacked from behind. Although he didn’t hit Xie Anping many times, it was enough to make this Spring Fist King unable to handle the situation calmly!
Mitani let out a loud shout and slashed with his sword at Xie Anping’s lower body, only to find that the latter's legs had already risen up in midair from the spot!
Being besieged by these two young men without getting an upper hand for long made Xie Anping quite angry!
Everyone knew how skilled his hands were but no one was aware of just how powerful his foot skills were!
Evidently, someone who had been walking on the balls of their feet year after year possessed a tremendous explosive power in their legs that ordinary people could not imagine.
Xie Anping kicked off with a flying kick, breaking through countless sword lights and aiming for Mitani Junichi’s chest!
Seeing this thunderous kick, Mitani knew he would be broken several ribs if he faced it head-on. The fractured ribs might even pierce his heart!
In this critical moment, Mitani barely managed to twist his body and met Xie Anping's right foot with his left shoulder!
"Crack!"n, as thick as a little finger, pierced through a police officer's shoe under this tremendous force! It punctured his foot bone! Pierced through flesh and sole alike! And then deeply embedded itself i...
