Chapter 48: Tai Chi Fist

  Bajiquan is famous for its ferocity and power, while Taijiquan uses softness to overcome hardness. When Zhao's punching method changed to use Taijiquan to counter the powerful Golden Vajra Palm, the situation also changed accordingly.

  Under the powerful blow of Dali Jin Gang Palm, Zhao Ji, who had been retreating and was on the verge of complete collapse, managed to barely hold on after changing his Baxi Quan to Taiji Quan.

  The sky rainbow came with a slap, the strong wind whistled, unstoppable. That kind of power, even if Zhao Ji Ru used his Eight Extremes Fist to harden and resist, he could only barely hold on for two moves before falling further into defeat.

  Tai Chi Fist didn't work, Zhao Ji approached from a strange angle and with one move, he led the powerful Golden Vajra Palm of Tian Hong to the outside with a push, and thus resolved that rather fierce attack in a light and casual manner.

  Ethereal Extreme Fist took the lead, occasionally mixed with Eight Extremes Fist. The unfavorable situation of Zhao's battle against Tianhong suddenly reversed and became balanced again, although somewhat strained.

  The mighty Golden Fist struck with unyielding ferocity, each blow packing an overwhelming force that Zhao struggled to dissolve with great effort. Although he managed to hold on for the time being, it was uncertain whether he could sustain this indefinitely, and eventually, there would come a moment of defeat.

  "Is this Tai Chi?"

  When Song Yuqiao first saw Zhao Ji performing Tai Chi, his expression was stunned and he looked quite surprised.

  "No, no, Zhao's Tai Chi Quan is not Wudang Tai Chi Quan. Although the general routine is similar, there are many differences, and the subtle details are even more distinct. It should have been modified by some master."

  After observing for a moment, Song Yuanqiao determined.

  As Zhang Sanfeng's big disciple, Song Yuanqiao had long been taught Tai Chi Fist and had practiced it to a certain extent. At this time, seeing Zhao Ji's display of Tai Chi Fist, he could naturally distinguish the differences.

  "Isn't it Wudang Tai Chi? Are you saying there are many types of Tai Chi?"

  After hearing Song Yuanqiao's words, Yuan Chengzhi was also stunned and asked in surprise.

  "As far as I know, there is only one version of Tai Chi created by the master, but whether there are other versions in the hundreds of years that followed, I don't know."

  Song Yuanqiao shook his head.

  After a month of adaptation, Song Yuqiao was no longer surprised to see people from hundreds of years later appear before his eyes, and he calmly accepted the matter of flying up to the heavenly realm. With this foundation, even if something strange appeared again, he would still be unflappable.

  However, Song Farqiao did not know that hundreds of years later, Tai Chi would indeed appear in many versions, such as Chen-style Tai Chi and Yang-style Tai Chi.

  Zhao's learned Tai Chi is based on the evolution of Yang-style Tai Chi, with one side and one circle, all within an inch, a foot range, I do not break the boundary.

  Having a preliminary understanding of Tai Chi's power, Zhao Ji and Tian Hong fought again, and the powerful Dah Lieh Jin Gang Palm was completely neutralized.

  It's not that Tai Chi is more powerful than Ba Ji Quan, as one of the three major internal martial arts, the power of both fists is not to be underestimated, it depends on how the martial artist displays and gives life to the fist.

  It's not that Zhao Yijun's skill in Tai Chi is deeper than Bajiquan, actually he has put more effort into Bajiquan and his understanding of it is no less profound than Tai Chi. With the same application, the power of Bajiquan will be even greater than Tai Chi.

  However, fighting is not just about displaying more powerful martial arts skills, but also requires adapting to the situation and changing tactics in a timely manner. For example, when dealing with strong and hard martial arts techniques like the "Iron Fist", Tai Chi's softness-overcoming-hardness approach is better than Bajiquan's hardness-colliding-with-hardness approach.

  Tai Chi Fist uses softness to overcome hardness, with four ounces of force moving a thousand pounds. The powerful Golden Steel Palm's attack is fierce, but Zhao Ji can also deflect it, and sometimes even borrow its strength to counterattack, making the Golden Steel Palm rebound against Tian Hong.

  He went all out with his Tai Chi Fist, engaging in a fierce battle with the Heavenly Rainbow. Every style of his ferocious attack had to be resolved with great effort, putting Zhao Ji under tremendous pressure.

  Sometimes excessive pressure can make people collapse, sometimes appropriate pressure can make people progress. At this time, Zhao Ji was in such a state.

  Every powerful movement of the Golden Strength Palm has transformed into Zhao's understanding of Tai Chi, and the 36 movements of Tai Chi unfold under his hands, becoming increasingly smooth and refined.

  When Zhao Ji first practiced Tai Chi, dissolving the powerful Golden Claw Palm's moves one by one, he still felt a slight pain in his arm. As his understanding of Tai Chi deepened, his movements became more rounded and natural, and transforming the Heavenly Rainbow Palm technique also became easier.

  Four ounces move a thousand pounds, although it's miraculous, it also follows the principle that the action of force is mutual. Every time Zhao Ji dissolves the mighty Golden Palm of the Heavenly Rainbow, he will also receive a slight counter-shock.

  The deeper understanding of Tai Chi, the more rounded it is when performed, and that slight counter-shock force can also be reduced and weakened.

  While fighting, he gained insight. Zhao Ji, who was already on the verge of collapse, not only stabilized his position but also gradually grasped a part of the initiative.

  "Awesome! In the midst of battle, he absorbed nutrients and gained insight into his fist technique. Zhao Ji's Tai Chi Fist has become even more refined, and he has begun to grasp its essence."

  Zhao Ji's change made Song Yuanqiao see it in his eyes, and with a brightening of his eyes, he nodded slightly and said.

  "Yes, indeed, I also felt that Zhao Ji was about to lose, but suddenly he not only stabilized but also managed to defend and attack, the progress is quite significant."

  "Not bad, great progress, it seems Zhao Ji and Tian Hong Master still have a big battle ahead."

  Yuan Chengzhi and Ding Dian spoke out one after another, regarding Zhao Ji's sudden enlightenment on the battlefield, their combat strength greatly increased, and they looked quite optimistic.

  Zhao Yi's change was noticed by Song Yuanqiao, Yuan Chengzhi and Ding Dian as bystanders, and naturally Tian Hong was the first to detect it as an opponent.

  The mighty power of the Golden Iron Palm, originally unstoppable and invincible, but in the flowing entanglement of Zhao Ji's Taiji Fist, Tian Hong felt as if he had fallen into a swamp, unable to exert his strength.

  It's not that the mighty iron palm is inferior to Tai Chi, but rather that brute force can overcome cleverness and softness can conquer hardness. These are relative concepts. When a strong and fierce force far exceeds a gentle and harmonious one, it can naturally break through Tai Chi.

  As the pioneer of martial arts, Shaolin Fangzhang, this shallow martial arts principle is naturally understood by Tian Hong. Therefore, he decided to strengthen the power of Daheli Jin Gang Palm and defeat Zhao Ji with one palm.

  "Zhao Ji, you must be extra careful, I'm going all out now."

  She took a few steps back, creating some distance between them, and with her hands clasped together, Tian Hong said very solemnly.

  "Let's go."

  Zhao Jiexi replied with great enthusiasm.

  Although his fighting spirit was soaring, he yearned for an even more intense battle. However, facing Tianhong's warning, Zhao Ji could not afford to be careless at all, his whole body tense, his vigilance raised to the extreme, ready to strike at any moment.
