Chapter 58 Force Dispersing (1/2)
After the two had entered the maple forest, they found a relatively empty spot to stand face to face.
Old Wang's feet were in a T-shape formation, and with one fist before the other, he stood steady. He straightened his back and it was as straight as a flagpole. Even though he was already over sixty years old, he seemed to have an irresistible momentum.
”Xing Yi fist! Old Wang, you are already of such a great age. How dare you still take the firm and strong course? Can you carry on with it?”
Liu Feng smiled faintly and with a sliding of his feet, they formed a T-shape, standing steady. With one fist before the other, one up and the other down, he formed a three-body style like holding a big gun. This was also the standard hand sign of the Xing Yi fist.
”Interesting. You're so young but the way you raise your hands has already resembled the style of a Guru.”
Old Wang's face straightened and his back foot stomped the ground suddenly. Then, his body was like a cannon that shot right out. A forceful fist pummelled Liu Feng's chest straight and his sleeve seemed to have been pushed directly up the position of the small shoulder by wind resistance.
Liu Feng also became stern. From the amount of force delivered by this fist, this Old Wang who was standing before him was certainly a cruel figure.
”Swish!”
And at this moment, Liu Feng's body turned and he swiftly passed by Old Wang's body.
But without waiting for Liu Feng to attack, Old Wang's body also shriveled up suddenly and with a low shovel leg, he used the outer edge of the sole to attack the knee joint of Liu Feng's left leg.
Liu Feng seemed not to worry at all. In a short moment of time, he raised his left leg and in supporting the weight of his body with a single leg, his body suddenly leaned forwards and a spring fist issued out from his waist, and rushed towards Old Wang's ear root.
This fist packed a punch. If someone was hit, Old Wang would not even have been able to resist it even if he had trained in his hard qigong.
And Liu Feng attacked as he darted, leaving Old Wang almost no time to change his techniques.
”What the fuck, why is your response speed so fast!”
Old Wang exclaimed and his butt inched backwards a little. Using such a small movement, he had managed to bring his whole body to the back. His both legs had completely not moved at all and had even carved out two shallow ditches on the ground.
Liu Feng's eyes narrowed suddenly. ”What an expert! I truly have not thought that I'd be able to encounter a force-dispersing expert on the university campus. Activating the whole body with a single trigger—I'm truly unable to reach this level.”
Even though Liu Feng had said that he was unable to reach Old Wang's standards, he did not fear. And even after causing Old Wang to retreat with a punch, he continued to advance unstoppingly in his attacks and even continued creating a vehement atmosphere with two punches.
”Bang! Bang!”
In the maple forest, two claps resounded in a short time. Old Wang had actually used the same exploding punch to meet Liu Feng's power with power.
After the two punches had met each other, the two people continued to retreat at the same time, and each of them took five steps backwards.
From a distance, the two people looked like they were evenly matched. However, in reality, Liu Feng was advancing as he was moving forwards and he did this with great piercing strength. Old Wang parleyed the strikes in his original position. Moreover, Liu Feng was almost forty years younger than Old Wang and his muscles and strength of his joints were stronger than Old Wang's.
And one could thus tell that in this battle of the fists, Old Wang stood the upper hand.
”Old Wang, you are already so old—this battle is not good for your body.” Liu Feng swished his arms, at where he was standing. Apparently, this battle of fists was not very comfortable to him.
Old Wang said and laughed, ”If I hadn't met your force with force, wouldn't I have let you gained the upper hand? Practitioners of the Xing Yi fists aren't afraid of playing with techniques of force even if they have advanced in age.”
And as he spoke, Old Wang lurched forwards again.
Liu Feng also did not give in a single step. The Xing Yi fist was most famous for its aggressive and explosive nature in the three internal home boxings. Hence, people who use this kind of fist technique would also be strong and powerful in their mental condition.
The two people were exchanging fist strikes and their fists resounded clearly in the air after bumping each other.
There were many fiery red maple leaves in the maple forest that had fallen from the tree branches from the shock and in the hurricane of fists, some of the maple leaves had been blasted into pieces.
”Bang!”
After the two had faced up for five minutes, the fists met each other again heavily.
And this time, tears emerged on Liu Feng and Old Wang's shirt sleeves. Clearly, these two men's fist strengths were so terribly scary.
Push, push, push!
Closely following, the two men took a step backwards at the same time and their foot stomp produced a heavy thud on the ground.
This time, Liu Feng retreated ten steps but Old Wang had only retreated seven steps.
But only Old Wang's face, that was initially red, had already started turning white. And this time, even his breathing had become rushed.
Liu Feng did not feel good either. Both of his hands were trembling without stopping but his face appeared in the pink of health.
”Old Wang, despite being more powerful than me, you lost.”
After resting for a while, Liu Feng laughed and said, ”I've said it before—the fist is scared of the young. Even though you had reached the levels of force dispersing, your health could not sustain the energy required.”
”Puff!”
Old Wang took a deep breath and shook his head saying, ”I've underestimated you. But how was it possible? With your current strength, at most, you could only reach the levels of using internal strength. How is your speed and reaction timing so fast?”
”Because of my battle instincts!”
Liu Feng put both of his hands behind him and said with great self-confidence, ”At your age, practicing the martial arts is a form of exercise, but as for me, practicing martial arts is for the sake of killing my enemies. The ancients have always used martial arts as a form of ceasing hostilities. The first objective of creating martial arts had been to serve the purpose of killing people. I grew up in the crossfires and even though my martial arts skills have not reached your levels, my kungfu skills consist of real people-killing techniques that have been honed in battles. In a traditional sense, they are true kungfu and hence, you cannot defeat me.”
”Cough, cough!”
Old Wang coughed twice heavily and his face turned a terrible color. ”I, Old Man, have once been on the battlefield as well and I've also taken part in the battle. But...”
And at these words, Old Wang had actually not been able to continue any further. He raised both hands and cupped his chest. His eyes were suddenly filled with red color.
”Wow! What, Old Wang, you have heart disease!”
With Liu Feng's medical skills, he was able to discern what Old Wang was suffering from instantly and he quickly rushed forwards to help him.
And this time, beads of cold sweat had emerged on Old Wang's face and even his breathing and become troubled and his body trembled without stopping.
”Lie down first, I can cure your illness!”
Liu Feng helped Old Wang and let him lie on the ground. With one hand, he had already secured his pulse.
When Old Wang had lain down, Liu Feng had already completed the process of taking his pulse. ”Ah I see... your cardiac artery had already hardened to its maximum. If you hadn't had martial arts skills to sustain your health, I'm afraid you would long have needed an operation.”
And as he spoke, Liu Feng opened his pouch of needles and quickly undid Old Wang's shirt.
