Chapter 64: One battle to make oneself known (Second) (2/2)

An expert internal practitioner was extremely sensitive with his pores and hairs. Even a gust of wind that could only affect a single blade of grass could be felt by them.

This rang especially true for Qin Maojiao who was an expert at the White Ape style Tongbei. With his figure like an ape, his speed was incomparably fast. Wang Chao’s Hidden Jin had not yet reached a stage where the natural break out of the Hidden Jin was instinctive meaning that it was still easy to dodge. To use it now would only be a huge waste of energy.

If he were to go against another person who could use Hidden Jin, then he would lose for sure.

And to lose was to die! Or worse, a cripple!

A fight was that serious.

The first strike between these two had been at a complete balance.

Qin Maojiao’s leap had brought him behind Wang Chao. With another strike, he aimed it at Wang Chao’s vertebrae.

With his strength, if the strike collided, then even a wooden pillar would snap in half, let alone Wang Chao’s vertebrae.

“Good!” The spectators that knew a little bit about martial arts had nodded at this exchange. Seeing Qin Maojiao’s strange leap and then freakish speed towards Wang Chao’s back had impressed many people there.

“His ape stance is at a realm of perfection! Given 5 years and him tempering his emotions to rid his haughtiness, then he would be able to practice the Hidden Jin. By then, he would earn the rights to challenge even my brother.”

Seeing Qin Maojiao’s movements, even Chen Bin had been surprised at his skill.

“That other kid is a Xingyi expert. It’s a shame he’s rather inflexible and wouldn’t be able to defend against any unpredictable movements.”

This was Chen Bin’s verdict on Wang Chao.

Then suddenly, Wang Chao altered his stance into one from Bagua, avoiding Qin Maojiao’s strike.

At the same time, he rushed to Qin Maojiao’s side with his arms stretched wide like the wings of an eagle before striking out with the ferocity of a tiger dashing out of its cave. The force in his fists had been incomparably strong and unyieldingly firm.

The movements and power of the tiger and eagle stance had been perfectly harmonized together.

At the same time of his charge, both of his arms had shook in a way to add a more penetrative power. Just like a soldier sifting through the mountains, he had advanced further downwards and brought Qin Maojiao under his force.

At the same time of his fists, his lungs had begun to fluctuate in breath to match with the movements of his muscles. In a moment of action, Wang Chao had managed to utter out the primal roar of a tiger.

This roar had been deep but reserved in a way that matched with his aura. It was almost as if Wang Chao’s body was harboring a tiger within it!

Xingyi was comprised of will and intent. To learn will was to obtain intent. Within a lie was truth, and within a truth was a lie. There was no tiger here, but at the same time, there was indeed a tiger.

Wang Chao had this sudden revelation at that moment!

This single move had been comprised of both the tiger stance’s Chopping Fist Jin. At the same time, it contained the Pounding Fist Jin.

To learn one teaching was to learn a hundred teachings for his Assault of the Dragon and Snake. With these analogies, Wang Chao had gradually began to combine the stances of everything into one personalized usage for his own way of fighting.

His movements had been from the Bagua style. After applying oil to his feet and learning to walk on top of a water jar, he had slipped and fallen just as many times as Qin Maojiao, if not more.

Qin Maojiao had only seen that his fist had missed along with Wang Chao suddenly disappearing from view and then reappearing right by his side. Then the next moment, all he could hear was the roar of a tiger.

At that moment, Qin Maojiao had felt a little skeptical. Was his opponent taken over by the spirit of a tiger?

While his strength was strong, his mentality was not as resolved as Wang Chao.

And while Wang Chao had some sort of information on him, he did not understand anything about Wang Chao.

It was these two points that would be enough for him to lose his life.

Frantically, Qin Maojiao held his hands in a horizontal guard before leaping backwards.

But with his thoughts in a disarray, he had lost the previous advantage he had. In the end, Wang Chao had found an opportunity and clashed fists once more.

But this time, Wang Chao had broken out with the Hidden Jin!

Qin Maojiao’s arms could only feel a sharp stinging sensation as if he had been stabbed with a myriad of needles for a painful feeling.

The pain of the stinging sensation had been so strong that he had lost power over his pores. Opening wide, he began to sweat, losing power with each droplet.

Naturally, Wang Chao had shown no quarter with such a golden opportunity in front of him. Going straight for his median line, Wang Chao formed the palms of the tiger stance and slammed a strike full of Hidden Jin into Qin Maojiao’s chest.

“Ugh! Cough, cough!” A guttural sound could be heard from Qin Maojiao’s mouth along with the sound of his sternum breaking, harmonizing into sounding like the song of death.

After the strike, Wang Chao stepped back two steps only to see Qin Maojiao’s face start to grow red. His legs began to sway as if he was drunk as his arms began to slacken.

Spinning around for two revolutions, his young body slowly fell off the platform like water with blood spilling out from his mouth.

His eyes had gone wide with shock as he stared at Wang Chao. A fierce struggle could be seen as he tried to stay alive, but it was sadly futile.

After two attempts, all of the fight in him had suddenly evaporated as his pupils lost the gleam of light.

“Hidden Jin of the tiger stance!” Chen Bin cried out in understanding. The two fighters had been too fast for most to follow, but Wang Chao’s fighting method had been far too fierce. Even if her brother Chen Aiyang the Taichi master were here, it would be difficult for him to save Qin Maojiao.

“How is this possible!”

After a brief moment of stupefied silence, Chen Bin had crushed the metal pot that had her Waolaoji brand Chinese herb tea.

The brown liquid had splashed all over her hand, but she hadn’t noticed. Her eyes could only stare rigidly at Wang Chao.

The metal pot of Chinese herb tea had unexpectedly make a loud crisp sound when she crushed it.

The sound seemed to have been like a strike of lightning that broke through the silence. Everyone had instantly recovered their spirits and began to cry out loud.

Some were shocked, some were ecstatic. Some had even struggled to stay silent while others had been silent because they had just lost a wealthy sum of money, leaving them extraordinarily vexed.

“This competition goes to the Daxing Corporation! May their representative come up to receive your prize. For those who won their gambles, please come to the back to receive your winnings.” After some time, the voice of the organizer had spoken out once more in a voice befitting that of a professional emcee.

Lu Chengwen had been utterly shocked at first. But after hearing the voice of the announcer, he suddenly regained his bearings and quickly instructed to his men. “Quick quick, get that kid out of here before anything happens.”
