Chapter 065 – Psychotic Techniques

Out of the numerous martial techniques of a Close Quarters Combat Expert, if you had to pinpoint the one that Tang Tian was most unfamiliar with, it would be the Joint Technique.

The Joint Technique is a unique set of close combat techniques developed using the human joints as targets. Human joints are relatively fragile and easy to damage. Furthermore, strengthening of the joints is comparatively more difficult than for other areas of the body.

Martial artists who are experts in the Joint Technique are usually feared by others. The nightmare begins once these experts in the Joint Techniques come in close contact, as any parts of the body may become their target. These martial artists are usually well aware of the intricate joints that are protected by the muscles, and are experts in damaging them.

However, as per the other Techniques, the Joint Technique is extremely difficult to master.

This is because such spirit cards are difficult to obtain, and besides, an important reason is that a sparring partner is essential. To be able to truly master the Joint Technique, practicing on the wooden mannequins alone, without a sparring partner, will never do the trick.

This was also a problem that Tang Tian had. He has almost perfected the other four martial techniques and internalised the killing techniques of the other three attacking techniques. The biggest, sole obstacle for Tang Tian was the Joint Technique.

Just then, the hand-combat specialist Green Sandalwood Ape came to mind, and all of a sudden, a realisation hit Tang Tian – wasn’t the ape the perfect sparring partner?

Furthermore, the high level True Power that caused his entire body to be swollen provided him an additional layer of protection. He has no misgivings about getting injured, so long as he can protect his eyes and other vitals well. He had already tested it just now – although the punch delivered by the ape was powerful, it hardly had any effect on his body.

At the thought of this, Tang Tian felt like laughing out loud.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he charged towards the ape daringly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The punches of the ape fell relentlessly on Tang Tian, but he did not flinch an inch, and quickly creeped up close to the ape. All kinds of Joint Techniques were repeatedly unleashed.

Thus, an extraordinary scene unfolded.

Tang Tian stuck close to the Ape, like superglue, executing all kinds of techniques, sometimes even lifting up the ape and trashing him repeatedly onto the ground. While all along, the relentless blows of the ape continued to rain on the heavily bandaged Tang Tian.

Everyone was astounded by such fearless execution of techniques.

Baldie’s face was white as sheet, quivering. He… … He must have a death wish … …

The punches of the ape were so forceful, that each blow on Tang Tian caused his body to tremor involuntarily. Yet Tang Tian continued his attacks, as though nothing happened. The ground was a mess, as though it had been freshly ploughed, with no stones unturned.

Tang Tian seemed like a starving wolf, clinging tightly onto the ape’s thigh, paying no heed to the blows raining on him.

The spectators could no longer bear to watch the scene and turned pale at the sound of each forceful blow.

What… … What is he doing?

Everyone stared blankly at Tang Tian, who was clinging onto the thigh of the ape, while his hands seem to be groping for something, and it sent chills down their spines.

Could it be … … He he he… …

Tang Tian held on to the ape’s knee, while his hands kept fumbling, amidst the ‘bang, bang, bang’ of the blows on him. Tang Tian eyes lit up, mumbling, “Wrong… … the technique seems wrong … … oh, the back of the knee is too hard, hmm … … it’s this!”

Crack!

The punches of the ape stopped abruptly, as it suddenly let out a mournful wail.

Hoo hoo hoo … …

Tang Tian wiped his sweat-soaked bandages. Finally, he destroyed one of the ape’s joints. He reached out towards the ape’s other knee joint.

The ape’s eyes were filled with terror, but it immediately switched to that of anger. It started attacking Tang Tian wildly, and Tang Tian was totally showered with punches. The ground around him exploded and shattered into a million pieces.

Crack!

Another knee joint was destroyed.

Crack, crack!

Two elbow joints were destroyed as well.

The ape flopped onto the ground like jelly. It thrashed its body wildly, but was still unable to move an inch.

Baldie and the others were shocked, astounded, as the bandaged silhouette seemed devilishly scary in their eyes. They were unable to describe their inner fears, as the sight before them sent shudders down their spine.

By right, shouldn’t the wild attacks of the ape have made mincemeat out of this person? Could it be that Tang Tian has a body of steel?

The most shocking fact was that Tang Tian was able to remain unfazed in the midst of the raining blows and even continued his attempts to destroy the joints. In the eyes of Baldie and the others, it was more than crazy sheer determination!

Suddenly, the flimsy ape let out a loud roar.

This roar spread far and wide, which was totally different from the previous.

“Oh no, it is summoning its companions!” Baldie was distraught, “Big Brother, run! It is summoning its companions!”

Tang Tian eyes lit up. He just reached his peak of excitement, so how could he leave just like that, thus he waved them away, “You can leave with the rest first.”

Baldie hesitated for a moment, but as the entire forest shook and quavered, he shuddered and led the others away.
