Chapter 57 Savage madness

Qin Lang’s heart was filled with obscure anger, but he didn’t dare to meet An Desheng’s blow head-on and risk being an eunuch. So with no choice, he sent power through his two feet and flew back in retreat.

An Desheng sneered, chinese kung fu paid particular attention to drawing power from the ground, so martial pract.i.tioners wouldn’t rashly leave the ground unless absolutely necessary. Because they couldn’t borrow strength in the air, it was possible that they might be struck by a vicious blow by their enemy while they were in this powerless state.

Hence, An Desheng had used the sinister clever snake seeks its hole to force Qin Lang to jump into the air, he was inwardly proud of himself, saying in his mind ‘this kid is just a wee nipper after all, he doesn’t have enough combat experience, and now that his pillaring technique has been broken, he will definitely die now!’ So, An Desheng swiftly chased after Qin Lang, then with his two hands in snake palm form, he struck towards Qin Lang’s chest, abdomen and other areas in lightning speed.

Right now, in Qin Lang’s eyes, An Desheng’s two hands were like two long vicious snakes!

If one didn’t have strong willpower, they might be scared stiff by An Desheng’s vicious fighting techniques.

Qin Lang’s retreat seemed to have been made in impulse, but actually it was after careful deliberations, because two meters behind him was a large pine tree, and Qin Lang’s supposedly careless jump just happened to lead him to the tree. His one foot stepped on the trunk of the pine tree and another foot touched the ground, taking the hidden dragon pillaring stance, his body leaning forward. In an instant, he exchanged countless moves against An Desheng’s snake palm, and unexpectedly cut off An Desheng’s snake fist completely!

With his attacks being ineffective, An Desheng could only retreat a pace to stabilize the situation.

Qin Lang unexpectedly could take pillaring stance while in a slanted position, it was way out of An Desheng’s expectations, he coldly snorted: “Your pillaring is actually stable! But too bad, your kung fu lacks a bit!”

In fact, An Desheng was very envious of Qin Lang’s pillaring technique because genuine martial pract.i.tioners all understood the logic of ‘power was born from earth’ ‘power was born from pillaring’, if the pillaring stance was broken, the martial pract.i.tioner’s martial prowess would be greatly reduced, this was also the reason why An Desheng was inwardly happy when he broke Qin Lang’s pillaring form before. How could he have known that Qin Lang’s hidden dragon pillaring was so profound, not only could it take root on the ground, so long as there was a place to borrow strength from, it could immediately take root there. Moreover, when Qin Lang cultivated hidden dragon pillaring, he didn’t only practice it on the ground.

“You will soon learn that my kung fu is not lacking!” Qin Lang didn’t yield, “My mantis fist is the nemesis to your snake fist!”

“Bulls.h.i.+t!” An Desheng sneered, “Wait till your martial style has both form and intent before you brag in front of me, but unfortunately you won’t have the chance!”

An Desheng initiated a burst of fierce attacks once more, his fighting forms were very crafty and sinister, making them difficult to defend against. Right now, An Desheng’s moves were continuous, his whole person seemed to have changed into a poisonous snake, using killing moves that were hard to block.

At this moment, Qin Lang’s mind was playing that scene of ‘mantis fighting against the snake’; in his eyes, An Desheng was an arrogant and aggressive snake, and he was the mantis that was nailed on the trunk blocking the path of the snake, a small but yet very domineering mantis!

In an instance, Qin Lang seemed to have comprehended the subtle realm of ‘intent’, form and intent originally didn’t separate from each other, Qin Lang’s style was not inherited from others, rather he had comprehended it from the blood mantis. Now, he saw his enemy as a fierce snake and himself as the valiant mantis; in that moment, he seemed to have gained a clear comprehension, comprehending the mantis fist’s intent realm——

Speed! Accuracy! Ferocity!

This was blood mantis’s ‘mantis blade’ intent realm!
