Chapter 370 - Nine Chain Transformation (2/2)

Gu Fei did not answer as he continued forward The ene Four Seas had done, so only a single man stepped out to receive hi with a reverse kick

Meanwhile, Gu Fei had actually returned the sword he had been holding in his hand all this while back into his dier barehanded

“What kind of stunt is he trying to pull!?” Royal God Call was already shouting when he saw this They were all fae output was entirely due to the equipment he had on The spells from a Gu Fei without his equipe job class as whole

Royal God Call's shout was very loud, but Gu Fei conored it as he took two steps closer to the ave him a fist and palm salute

This action gave thehad already swept out towards him before he could think beyond this

This man had a listless expression when he saw that Gu Fei was a Mage, and seeing how he had not attacked as he got closer and closer had hies are e, everyone knows that! That man only came back to his senses at the tireeted him with a salute

In the nextflash by as he quickly stooped to let it brush past He was just about to counterattack, but he did not expect that kick to change trajectory to co down in the saht on his neck

The man was perplexed He was certain that thissweep kick, but an axe kick, so would that nothis body had essentially locked hi victim to that kick?

Just as this ret, unable to understand what had caused hiross mistake, he suddenly saw a black blur in front of hi down on hi that brought his knee right towards the opponent's nose This man subconsciously leaned backwards, but Gu Fei, who had yet to land fro his back to thelanded squarely on the man's chest

Thisthat blow Gu Fei had also flown out after connecting his kick, but easily landed on his feet

Someone from the five man had already cried out in his astonishment, “Nine Chain Transformation? Was that the Nine Chain Transformation just now?”

Gu Fei chuckled, “Aren't you guys training the Chuojiao style¹?”

Once Gu Fei said this, the eyes of those five men instantly widened, because what he had just said was exactly correct Nine Transformations referred to the nine paths that their martial style advocated, each used in combination with one another, thus its namesake of Nine Transformations; the “Chain” was due to how these nine paths could seaether; Further when attacking, using either interchangeably The full name for this particular martial technique was actually “Nine Chain Transformation Of Inseparable Kicks”, which was colloquially simplified to be Nine Chain Transformation over time

Calling it Chuojiao style was not a mistake either, since the Nine Chain Transformation was considered to be the most ancient path form in this style

After the , he looked at his own HP and saw that it was as good as if he had not been attacked It e in the end, so there was a lith, and because he earing equip hie froh to penetrate his defense

However, this was an analysis that was done entirely froe would have been considered his loss if they were to consider it fro that axe kick for a sweep kick in the first place, he was coed that iven how they were two very different executions Naturally, he ell aware that it was not athe move but rather that the feint Gu Fei had made was simply too quick and real to him, he fell for the ruse and oing to dodge the attack Any outsider would have thought that he had obediently placed his head underneath Gu Fei's boot in that attack

His cheeks flushed a deep red when he thought of this It was their habit to immediately further evaluate what happened: had this been a real spar, to instantly expose such a vital point like this to the opponent to an axe kick that ca down like that, if it did not cause him to faint, he would have at least blacked out for a ht to the chest… His hand held his nose while the other hand clutched his chest as he recalled theabout it happening

“This man's more than meets the eye!” he solemnly called out

“But is he really using the Nine Chain Transformation? Why does it look so different?” another man muttered

“Hey hey, how can you learn kung fu by otta adapt according to the situation and the flow of combat to properly display your prowess!” Gu Fei immediately admonished him

“Is that so? Then allow me to pick up a few pointers fro a fist out at Gu Fei's face to initiate the fight

Gu Fei dodged to the side as the ht forth a kick with that punch, which Gu Fei avoided by taking half a step back Thatfor the second kick the instant the first landed to the ground, so Gu Fei retreated by another step in response The aggression this man displayed only seemed to increase as he impatiently prepared to take another step forward But before he even secured his footing in that first step forward, while his back foot was still in the air, he felt a gentle push on his front foot going in the direction he was stepping

This one move caused him to instantly lose his balance, and his third kick shot out, whiffing nothing but air as he fell on his back
