Chapter 1618 - 821: Autumn Wind Sweeps Away Fallen Leaves (Part 2)
This is the Red Fist Supporting Slash Force!
The right hand forms a claw, the five fingers slightly curved, like an eagle’s beak pecking, directly pointing at the opponent’s rib-stabbing fingertip.
This is the Red Fist Hooking and Hanging Power!
Red Fist emphasizes "Supporting Slash as the foundation," which means quickly penetrating the opponent’s defense through blocking and hacking, and given Li Yan’s current cultivation, he isn’t afraid of close combat.
Later move, yet seems to arrive first!
"Bang! Bang!"
Two crisp sounds exploded almost simultaneously!
Situ Hua felt his left wrist as if struck by a steel whip, the pain excruciating.
The force was instantly shifted and diverted, the fingertip of his right hand felt like it stabbed into red-hot iron.
A fierce and scorching power rebounded violently, nearly cracking his finger bones!
He was shocked inside, the opponent’s seemingly simple starting move contained such cunning intercepting and rebounding force.
Even though he lost the initiative due to underestimating and being careless, he reacted extremely fast, borrowing force to twist his body, his legs crushing like a giant python, a fierce "Crocodile Tail Swing," sweeping across Li Yan’s lower body.
Meanwhile, he abruptly spewed a sweet-scented white mist, aiming right at Li Yan’s face!
This white mist is refined from South Seas secret medicine, capable of bewildering minds and disrupting energy!
Sha Lifei and others frowned upon seeing this.
Grandmaster battles aren’t limited to punches and kicks, weapons and martial arts are included.
Situ Hua’s tactic can be considered using poison, or martial arts.
After all, there are quite a few martial arts like this in the South Seas, even incorporating bizarre techniques like Flying Head.
In any case, it’s exploiting some loopholes.
Of course, using poison poses no threat to Li Yan at all.
He neither dodged nor evaded, facing the incoming poisoned leg, exhaling loudly, his spine shaking like a dragon, arms suddenly expanding like an eagle spreading its wings! His left arm pressed down, fiercely confronting Situ Hua’s sweeping shin.
Cloak and Dagger Palm—Wind Sweeping Away Clouds, tough and direct!
The right arm, carrying a majestic spiral force, suddenly swept up from below, the wide sleeve whipped by Gang Qi, producing a tearing sound like fabric ripping, as if a gust of hurricane appeared out of thin air!
"Boom!"
Li Yan’s left forearm accurately smashed against Situ Hua’s shin, producing a dull crashing sound.
Situ Hua felt his leg bone about to crack, the sweeping momentum stalled.
And Li Yan’s upward sweeping palm, wrapped in fierce Gang wind, reversed the poisonous mist Situ Hua spewed in an instant!
The fierce wind slapped his face, stinging Situ Hua’s skin, making it hard for him to even keep his eyes open!
"Good!" Sha Lifei couldn’t help but shout.
Wang Daoxuan also nodded slightly, Li Yan’s use of Cloak and Dagger Palm to break the opponent’s toxic leg technique and poisonous mist was clean and tidy, capturing the essence of using awkwardness to break cleverness, using orthodoxy to overcome peculiarity.
Situ Hua, both shocked and furious, retreated several steps, forcibly suppressing his surging blood.
He realized he had underestimated this young man.
The opponent’s solid foundation, powerful force, sharp reactions, all far exceeded his estimation.
A flash of fierceness appeared in his eyes, no longer testing, he growled, exploding with energy and blood all over, his skin faintly showing a strange dark red hue.
This martial art, unfamiliar to Li Yan and others, is quite famous overseas.
South Sea Secret Technique·Frenzied Blood Boiling!
During cultivation, one frequently consumes medicine, suppresses the medicinal properties, using it when needed.
This kind of method is also found in the Divine State, but usually from the side door.
The Mystical Sect and Magic Veins don’t even consider it.
Nevertheless, its power indeed cannot be underestimated.
In an instant, Situ Hua’s speed and strength increased by thirty percent!
He no longer opts for hit-and-run, but charges like a raging rhinoceros.
Punches, elbows, knees, legs transformed into a storm, moves became more ruthless and direct, filled with the aura of primitive barbaric combat.
Punches like heavy hammers beating drums, elbows like venomous dragons piercing hearts, knees like battering rams attacking forts, legs like steel whips split the air.
Every strike carried a sharp whistle that ripped through the air, penetrating power, each move not straying from Li Yan’s vital areas.
The courtyard’s bluestone ground was shattered by his steps, sending debris flying, the momentum astonishing!
Facing this fierce onslaught, Li Yan’s expression remained calm. He activated the North Emperor Divine Step to its fullest, maneuvering within a small space like a ghostly figure.
Sometimes like a swimming fish, sliding through the gaps between the fierce punches and elbows, sometimes like a nimble ape dodging between knee strikes and leg sweeps. This is the ’Fish Dragon Transformation’ and ’Monkey Climbing Branch’ of the Divine Walking Technique.
This martial arts method, evolved from the North Emperor Divine Movement Skill, has been completely mastered by him.
Simultaneously, the Red Fist’s tricky grappling, short powerful strikes, and the bold and aggressive Cloak and Dagger Palm were utilized by him to perfection.
In the moment when Situ Hua’s fierce knee strike missed, Li Yan crouched low like a stealthy tiger, his right hand forming into a claw, with a sharp sound tearing through the air, swiftly reaching for the open target on Situ Hua’s chest.
Situ Hua’s hair stood on end, let out a furious roar, forcibly pulling back his knees and twisting his hips, crossing his arms like a shield to block the claw!
"Screech!"
As the claw and arms clashed, Situ Hua’s tough sharkskin soft armor sleeve was torn into five strips by the penetrating power in Li Yan’s fingers, causing his arm bone to ache sharply!
Using the force to lean back, he executed a vicious ’Crocodile Tail Swing,’ his heel swinging maliciously towards Li Yan’s lower area!
Li Yan, unflustered, changed his claw-striking hand to a palm, pressing down with precision onto Situ Hua’s uplifted ankle, unleashing an irresistible downward force, pressing the poised Groin Kick towards the ground.
Cloak and Dagger Palm·Inverted Nine Oxen!
Simultaneously, his left palm, like a gigantic axe splitting mountains, descended forcefully from above towards the exposed neck and shoulder joint of Situ Hua, due to his backward lean!
If this palm struck, half of Situ Hua’s body would be rendered useless!
At the moment of life and death, Situ Hua unleashed all his potential.
He abruptly pushed the leg against the ground, his body spinning frantically to the side and back, narrowly avoiding the fatal palm aimed at his neck.
Li Yan’s palm narrowly brushed past his shoulder, tearing his clothing with the fierce palm wind, leaving a burning red mark on his skin.
However, Situ Hua’s crisis was not over.
Though he managed to avoid the vital hit with his forced rotation, his balance was lost, leaving him wide open!
Li Yan had been waiting for this moment.
Li Yan’s toes touched the bluestone, his entire body shooting forth like an arrow from a drawn strong bow, and like a swift hawk threading through forests, he darted with incredible speed into the retreating Situ Hua’s embrace.
This is the Divine Step·Yaozi Entering the Forest!
In the split second when their figures crossed, Li Yan twisted his waist and hips, his spine compressed and released like a spring, and his right arm swung upwards like an iron whip filled with steel sand, from the inside out.
This is neither a straight punch nor a hook punch but the fiercely ruthless ’Door-Opening Iron Fan’ of the Red Fist.
Using the waist and hips as the axle, the shoulder and arm as the shaft, and the fist as the tip, unleashing explosive whipping power.
The target was the vulnerable gap beneath Situ Hua’s ribs, exposed by his rotation!
This attack, fast! Accurate! Fierce!
The timing was perfect to the utmost degree!
Situ Hua’s old strength had just exhausted, new strength not yet born, balance unsteady, too late for his arms to revert to defense, he could only watch as the whip-like fist rapidly enlarged in his vision!
"Not good!"
Situ Hua’s heart resounded with alarms, his soul seemingly fleeing.
He could only barely muster a little residual Protective Gang Qi to his lower rib, while desperately twisting his body to withstand with his strong back muscles.
"Bang!"
A deep, heart-stopping explosion echoed through the courtyard!
Like a heavy hammer pounding on a taut drum!
Situ Hua’s entire being felt struck by lightning, his robust and sturdy body was sent flying by the punch, like a kite with a snapped string, crashing two yards away on the bluestone ground with a thud, rolling several times before coming to a halt.
"Poo—!" A mouthful of scarlet reverse blood could no longer be suppressed, spraying wildly from Situ Hua’s mouth, staining the ground before him red.
His face instantly turned deathly pale like paper, his left hand clutched desperately below his right rib.
His entire body’s energy and blood in turmoil, the accumulated Frenzy Blood Secret Technique scattered in an instant, even moving a finger became exceedingly difficult.
The courtyard fell into dead silence.
Only the sound of Situ Hua’s suppressed painful heavy breathing and Li Yan’s gentle, long breaths as he slowly relaxed.
Li Yan stood in his place, slowly withdrawing his fist.
The vigorous aura surrounding him calmed down, as if that earth-shattering strike had not come from his hand.
Struggling to stand, Situ Hua’s eyes burned with unwillingness.
Li Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed, his right hand suddenly crackling with scattered lightning.
Situ Hua was momentarily stunned, then stood up and laughed bitterly, clasping his fist:
"Young Hero Li, your reputation is well-deserved, I am genuinely convinced!"
