Chapter 32: I'll Make You Bleed Seven Feet!
(0032)
The first move of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms is called "Seeing the Dragon in the Field". This move actually has no special trick, it's purely a test of strength to probe the enemy's depth. If the enemy's foundation is insufficient, one move can severely injure them. If you boost your power by burning true energy, often just one move of "Seeing the Dragon in the Field" can knock down a large group of opponents.
In the past, on Mount Shaoshi, Xiao Feng displayed his Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, and didn't need any fancy moves. With just one palm strike, he sent Ding Chunqiu stumbling backward, and easily rescued Ah Zi. This shows the overbearing and fierce nature of this martial art. Even though its early stages can't compare to the Great Strength Golden Fist, its later stages are even more powerful than the Great Strength Golden Fist.
However, like the Great Power Fist, the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms also consumes a lot of true energy. Its power is also based on the foundation of majestic true energy. If the true energy is insufficient, it will definitely not be able to exert its full power. Fortunately, this point is not a problem for Xia Xingxiao at all. He has a large amount of true energy that can be burned.
As expected, Xia Xingxiao made a move and with a fierce palm wind, instantly covered both Wang Hailiu and Zheng Zhibao. The powerful energy contained within the palm wind pressed down on them, making it impossible for them to dodge effectively.
"Be careful!"
Wang Haisheng and Zheng Zhibao did not dare to slack off, hastily concentrating their minds to face each other.
They had no chance to dodge, they could only fight back. Fortunately, the first move of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms was relatively easy for them to handle. Xia Xingxiao's first move used up a small amount of burning true energy, and its power wasn't extremely strong. However, the second move was a bit troublesome. The second move, Xia Xingxiao burned five Qihai's worth of true energy, increasing his power several times over!
The second palm of the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms is called Flying Dragon in the Sky. This is a move that attacks from above. Like the move "Pouncing Eagle Catches Rabbit", Flying Dragon in the Sky is also very simple, so simple that it doesn't have any fancy moves, just one palm pressing down.
However, with the overwhelming force of the palm strike, combined with the boundless and unparalleled true energy, its power can be imagined. If the target being attacked does not have sufficient defensive capabilities, they fear that their body will be crushed to powder by this one palm strike.
"Pffft!"
"Pffft!"
"Damn it!"
Wang Haisheng had no choice but to part ways with Zheng Zhibao.
At the same time they were separated, both of them were hit by Xia Xingxiao's palm wind and spat blood continuously.
They were originally having a hard time joining forces to resist Xia Xinghe's palm wind, let alone forcibly moving. However, they had no choice but to forcefully separate. If the two continued to rely on each other, they would inevitably be beaten to death by the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, one palm at a time.
One move of the Flying Dragon in the Sky has already made them spit blood. If another move, even more powerful than the Swan's Descent to Land, is added, they will have no choice but to lose their lives. They don't doubt Xia Xingxiao's combat power at all. This bastard is simply a freak!
However, Wang Haixiong did not know that the consequences of their separation would be even more severe. If they continued to rely on each other, they could withstand the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms. But if they separated, they would have to face the mutated Great Power Golden Fist. That was the real killer move! Under the fourfold powerful impact, any one of them would not be able to withstand it.
As expected, Wang Haisheng and Zheng Zhibao felt something was off as soon as they parted ways.
Alas, they could barely counter Xia Xingxiao's Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms when they joined forces, now they're facing Xia Xingxiao's Great Strength Vajra Fist alone, isn't this seeking death? However, wanting to reunite is no longer possible.
Because Xia Xingxiao's fist had already struck Zheng Zhibao heavily.
He, who was extremely fast, had the complete initiative in this battle. Wang Hailao and Zheng Zhibao couldn't hit him at all, every move missed. While Xia Xingxiao could hit them one by one accurately, not a single move missed.
It's also the sorrow of pure strength-type cultivators. Pure strength-type cultivators, when encountering speed-type cultivators, can only be abused. If they encounter a cultivator who cultivates both strength and speed, it's not just being abused, but begging to be abused.
Zheng Zhibao's situation immediately became very bad.
Xia Xingxiao's first punch sent him flying with blood splattering everywhere, a truly miserable sight.
To mitigate the damage he suffered, Zheng Zhibao had to retreat dozens of meters, relying on continuous retreats to resolve the violent attack of Daligangquan. As a result, he hadn't even stood firm when Xia Xinxiao's second punch arrived, even more fierce and violent.
To say, if it were an ordinary cultivator, when casting the Great Power Fist, the speed would not be possible so fast. After all, mobilizing true energy requires time. The Great Power Fist requires a lot of true energy to consume, and the time required to mobilize true energy is naturally longer. However, Xia Xingxiao was completely an exception. There were too many dantians in his body, and he could call them up at will.
Moreover, due to the different Qi Hai, mobilizing different natures of true energy, for the exhibition of the mighty Vajra Fist, Xia Xing Xiao's mighty Vajra Fist has many unique characteristics. To put it nicely, they are characteristics. To put it badly, they are underhanded tricks that harm others.
Buddhist practitioners, when exerting the mighty Vajra Fist, generally base it on the Easy Tendon Classic, Brain Washing Classic or Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong. The common characteristic of these internal skills is that they are relatively masculine. Xia Xingxiao, however, completely transcends this scope.
His internal skills are really too many, such as Mingyu Gong, Bingxuan Jing, Ha Maogong, Zixia Shen Gong, Beiming Shen Gong, Xiao Wuxiang Gong, Jiuyang Shen Gong, Yanyang Qigong, and Bafang Liuhe Weiwo Duzun Gong, which can all drive the Great Power Vajra Fist. These different internal skills are mixed into the Great Power Vajra Fist, bringing various strange things to it.
Especially the Ice Profound Fist and Flame Sun Qi, one yin and one yang, when urging the Great Power Vajra Fist, the power is very strange. Even if the opponent has cultivated the Easy Tendon Classic, they will still suffer a great loss. Zhou Haotian was just knocked down by three punches, which was a loss due to this. Feng Tie Xiang was directly killed by three punches, also suffering a great loss from the Ice Profound Fist.
"Boom!"
Xia Xingxiao's second punch sent Zheng Zhibao flying directly.
This punch, Xia Xingxiao used, was the Ice Profound Fist. In the midst of the fierce and powerful Golden Strength Fist, he added a cold and icy true energy that had reached an extreme point. Zheng Zhibao couldn't withstand it at all. As soon as he was hit by the fist wind, he involuntarily shivered with cold, feeling as if he had fallen into the Eighteenth Hell. All the meridians in his body were almost frozen stiff.
Facing such a strange fist wind, what can Zheng Zhibao do to respond? His only response is to desperately retreat backwards, trying to avoid the fist wind's attack. However, his meridians have been invaded by Bing Xuanjin, almost losing their function, and his movements are greatly restricted. At this time, he can't even counterattack or defend himself, it's all very difficult.
Xia Xingxiao was not willing to let him go. His third punch followed, killing him. This was a real four-fold force, without any fancy moves. As a result, this punch hit Zheng Zhibao's chest, directly smashing his internal organs and dantian. Even if he were the reincarnation of Daluo Jinxian, he would not have survived.
"You!"
"Don't come over!"
Wang Haisheng's inner shock is imaginable.
Without hesitation, Wang Haisheng ran towards the exit of the cave.
He didn't want to bury his own life here, the only way out was to escape!
Stealing a chicken without getting the rice is really too frustrating. They originally came to kill Xia Xingxiao, but unexpectedly, they were killed by Xia Xingxiao instead. Seeing that Xia Xingxiao's next target was himself, he didn't escape - isn't this looking for death? Even Feng Tiejian and Zheng Zhibao were beaten to death with three punches, Wang Haili doesn't think he has the ability to withstand Xia Xingxiao's three punches.
However, how could Xia Xingxiao let him escape? The principle of releasing a tiger back to the mountain and having endless troubles afterwards is something that Xia Xingxiao absolutely understands. Since the other party wants his life, he will definitely want the other party's life as well. Today, among the five of them, not one can escape.
Xia Xingxiao didn't hesitate at all and struck even more ruthlessly.
Wang Haishan's speed was like a tortoise carrying heavy loads compared to Xia Xingxiao. Xia Xingxiao's consecutive punches all landed accurately on Wang Haishan's body. Under the impact of the consecutive punches, Wang Haishan's body had long been unable to withstand it. The Great Power Diamond Fist was getting more and more ferocious with each punch, doubling in power with each strike, how could he still withstand it?
As expected, Xia Xingxiao's three punches sent Wang Haishan's body flying out like a defeated rag doll. It seemed he wouldn't survive. His corpse heavily crashed into the cave wall and then softly slid down.
"Hey kid! You're getting too reckless!"
Behind him, Ng Kie Lung was anxious and angry, hastily blocking Xia Xingxiao.
At this time, Wu Qilong was almost driven to madness. The four people he brought were killed by Xia Xinxiao, three of them were killed and one was seriously injured, how could he not be furious? At this moment, his eyes were red, and there were bloodshot in his eyes, as if flames were burning. His anger towards Xia Xinxiao could no longer be described in words.
At first, when Wu Qilong took over the task from Song Hailong's hands, he was 120% confident. At that time, when he heard that Song Hailong wanted all five of them to work together to deal with Xia Xingxiao, he still thought it was a big fuss over nothing. As a result, unexpectedly, as soon as the battle began, it completely exceeded their expectations.
Wu Qilong did not expect that Xia Xinxiao, who had just been promoted to third-class soldier, would be so fierce and powerful. As soon as he came up, he was a flurry of fists and feet, and he took down all of them. Even Zhou Haotiger and Feng Tiejian, who were extremely strong in combat, couldn't withstand Xia Xinxiao's three punches. Now, only Wu Qilong is left, and he still has the strength to fight. Recalling everything that just happened, it feels like a dream.
They were five in total, all of whom were practitioners of the Power Type, and they were extremely confident in their own strength. They absolutely wouldn't believe that Xia Xingxiao's strength could rival theirs. However, the final result was unexpectedly a stalemate between both sides, with Xia Xingxiao even having a slight upper hand. Except for Wu Qilong, everyone else's strength wasn't as good as Xia Xingxiao's.
