Chapter 159: When a Tortoise Hears Thunder, a Turtle Exposes its Back

“Here I come then.” Huo Qiyun took out a small caliber pistol and took a place by the original gunner with just about four or five meters apart from Wang Chao.

Wang Chao took a handful of non-stick powder and began to rub his hands before sifting the rest of the powder all around his feet.

The meaning behind this was quite clear. Even if you tried to shoot at me with a gun, I will not move. I will not step on the powder. If I step on it, then it’s my loss and the martial arts I practice is fake.

“Having two people shoot at him while he stays still? That’s impossible.” Several of the second generation males and females couldn’t believe it. But seeing how Wang Chao had been smiling without any anxiety, they begun to feel that it was perhaps possible to accomplish.

“You may begin. I won’t care if you decide to shoot at me from behind either.”

After finishing sifting through the powder, Wang Chao’s eyes had stared to the unresigned female standing in front of him.

This female sharpshooter was named Han Xiaoqing. Her marksmanship was quite decent, and judging from her shooting stance, she practiced quite regularly with a gun. When Huo Qiyun had introduced her before, he had only mentioned her name and not of her status or which family she belonged to.

But it didn’t need to be said for Wang Chao to know that this woman’s identity wasn’t a normal one. Perhaps it was this woman who secretly lead this group of youths.

“Do you mean what you say?” Han Xiaoqing had been like the snake that appears when the bushes were beaten. Her eyebrows rose into the air almost before walking towards Wang Chao’s back after hearing him give permission to shoot at his back.

Huo Qiyun hurriedly moved out of the way to walk to Wang Chao’s left side.

Staring carefully at Wang Chao’s back, Han Xiaoqing’s eyes began to flash with a hint of craftiness. When she saw the people in front of Wang Chao move away from his front, her arm rose into the air quickly! Pulling the trigger, the gun in her right arm began to fire at Wang Chao.

Bang! The bullet impacted against the cushion on the ground.

Han Xiaoqing’s iris had immediately shrunk back a little. She had clearly seen how in the instant she fired, Wang Chao’s right arm seemed as if it had vanished into thin air.

It was as if he had been born without a right arm all along. Or perhaps it was as if his right arm had been like the head of a turtle that retreated into its shell.

“Okay!” Huo Qiyun brought his hand down to signal for Han Xiaoqing to stop. In several stops, he moved towards Wang Chao’s back, he whispered to Han Xiaoqing. “You’ll aim at his arm, I’ll aim at his legs. Let’s see him try not to move now.”

Han Xiaoqing gave a smile and a nod before the two of them shot at the same time. Bang, bang! Han Xiaoqing’s bullet had fired accurately at Wang Chao’s right calf while Huo Qiyun had fired at the left arm.

But, neither bullet had struck their targets. At the same time the guns were fired, the two targets they had aimed at had disappeared instantaneously, resulting in the bullets striking against the wall and the ground.

“I don’t believe this!” Han Xiaoqing hadn’t seen just what type of movement Wang Chao had done, this speed had been even faster than what Huo Qiyun had been able to witness. The two of them nodded again and lifted their guns to fire again and again in varying patterns between Wang Chao’s arms and legs.

In this manner, it was practically putting a lockdown onto Wang Chao’s four arms without escape. According to logic, there would at least be one bullet that would hit.

All of a sudden, Wang Chao’s four limbs had disappeared without a trace as if his entire body had actually been a sphere. In that split-second, he was like a startled turtle that brought all of its limbs back into its turtleshell.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The four bullets impacted against the wall in a sign that they had missed.

This move that Wang Chao had just done had been a show of Wang Chao bursting with Jin with his legs so that he would hop to a knee level height while bringing his legs inwards like a sphere. Hugging his arms tightly to his body so that it formed a sphere in midair, he was able to dodge the four bullets.

This one moved was well known as “Tortoise Hearing Thunder”

When a tortoise or turtle heard thunder, they would instantly bring its head, limbs, and tail back into its shell. Only the shell would remain open to the elements while looking as if the rest of the turtle had never existed.

In this move of “Tortoise Hearing Thunder”, it was far more elaborate than the Monkey Crouch. In a moment’s contraction to become small, it would have to appear to any observer that the four limbs and the head had disappeared without a trace.

When learning the monkey stance, the Monkey Crouch was enough to bring the human body size down a fold. But with the “crocodile” stance, the “Tortoise Hearing Thunder” was enough to make the body disappear in an instant.

“Impossible, this is impossible!” Han Xiaoqing had seen how Wang Chao’s limbs had disappeared after firing twice, leaving behind only the torso. After the bullets had passed on by, swish! The four limbs and torso had been as good as new. Even where he stood, the powder nearby had not been disturbed at all.

“If I can’t hit your arms or legs, then I’ll hit your body!”

Han Xiaoqing responded before firing at the right side of Wang Chao’s back. The right side was where the heart was not so it would not be fatal if struck.

But almost as if Wang Chao’s back had grown a pair of eyes, it arched in a way that made the bullet go whistling past his clothes.

“Very good!” Huo Qiyun had not fired again after that and had only spoken those two words. He had was already adulating Wang Chao of his superior martial art skills.

Han Xiaoqing put down her gun as well with a surprised look that contained both bafflement and shock.

“Haha.” Seeing how neither of the two had moved to fire, Wang Chao leapt out from the ring. From all around, the audience had indeed been thoroughly awed by him.

“Master Wang, just what style of martial arts was that? Are you even faster than a speeding bullet?” Han Xiaoqing spoke with a deferential tone that contained a clear amount of respect.

Her marksmanship was accurate and could hit a moving target six times out of ten. But Wang Chao hadn’t moved from his stop and she was still unable to hit him. In this movement, she had already been confused to the point of becoming delusional in thinking that Wang Chao was some sort of Immortal.
