Chapter Thirty-One: Better Off Dead
Chongtian Sanpao is an important part of the Chaquanmen routine, consisting of three routines: Sanlu Paoquan, Liulu Paoquan and Jiulu Paoquan.
And today, Luo Tong used the first set of moves among them, the Three Cannon Fists. Although it seems like only three moves, its power is actually the greatest among all.
Although there are only three attacking routes, the emphasis is on the three punches being like cannons, continuous and uninterrupted, like a big cannon roaring, with a thick atmosphere and fierce force.
Lu Tong's body shook, and these three cannon punches were released directly. Although his movements were not big, these three punches seemed to be released at the same time.
A single punch may only produce a slight vibration in the air, but three punches together can create an additive force.
This force made the three punches seem to bring a muffled sound, like a cannon shot, with an extremely frightening momentum. Along with the sound, his fist also violently smashed towards Xuan Qi's direction.
This move is powerful and swift, worthy of being one of the most powerful attacking techniques in Chaquan.
"Good for you, beat him to death, Master!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Pengfei, who was watching the battle on the side, was extremely excited and couldn't help but wave his handkerchief to cheer Luo Tong on.
Although he was no match in hand-to-hand combat, his eyesight was still good. He knew that this time Luo Tong had really used his true skills.
In the days of Xiaoxiang City, there were not many opportunities for Luo Tong to truly use his true skills. Generally, he would just casually make a few moves and the enemy would be intimidated.
Besides, Lu Dawei is a big shot in the underworld of Xiaoxiang City, and there are hardly anyone who dares to fight him.
Lu Tong had always felt a sense of loneliness as a master. Now, having an opponent who was evenly matched with him was also a pretty good thing.
"I'll see how you react and I've already prepared countermeasures to continue the fight!" Luo Tong had thought of many counterstrategies when he threw out this move.
As a master, he had already thought out what his opponent would do next after making the first move.
In his view, facing this powerful move, Xuan Qi could only choose to retreat. The power of his Chong Tian San Pao was extremely astonishing. Even a cow would be killed directly.
Xuan Qi, being such a slender person, if he were to directly take this move head-on, would probably be knocked flying again. However, this time it would likely be even more miserable than last time.
"Huh? It's actually a hard collision!" At this time, Lu Pengfei, who was watching the battle beside him, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Xuan Qi's actions were completely beyond his and Luo Tong's expectations. Unexpectedly, the opponent chose to take this move head-on under such a fist.
In his opinion, this move is not very wise.
Lu Pengfei wanted his master to win earlier, but he didn't want the fight to lose its suspense too quickly. That way, it wouldn't be fun anymore.
For him, playing with his enemies seems more enjoyable.
The game of cat and mouse is never out of date. At first, he had planned to torture Xuan Qi thoroughly with those four moves. Now, it's more suitable for Luo Tong to do this thing instead.
Bang!
Lu Tong's fist and Xuan Qi's fist collided directly in mid-air, producing a dull sound like the impact of a cowhide drum. It was clear that this blow was extremely powerful.
Lu Tong only felt a surge of great force coming, his body couldn't help but retreat several steps before stabilizing. On the other hand, Xuan Qi seemed to be unscathed, still with that calm and collected demeanor.
Looking at the bright red fist print in his hand, Luo Tong couldn't help but exclaim: "How is this possible!"
As the saying goes, Flash Cannon Three Fists is invincible, and whoever masters it will be unmatched. The legendary Flash Cannon Three Fists can even make a Buddha surrender, let alone an ordinary person.
However, the move Luo Tong made this time did not hurt the mortal at all, but instead injured his own fist.
Rubbing his slightly sore fist, Luo Tong was extremely shocked in his heart. He had not expected that the young man in front of him would be so powerful.
In terms of boxing skills and strength, he was already at a disadvantage.
It's worth noting that Luo Tong has spent decades honing his skills in boxing, and this one punch is enough to kill a cow. However, the opponent unexpectedly countered with brute force and even injured him.
This situation made Luo Tong extremely surprised in his heart.
He didn't think that his exquisite cannon fist would actually be no match for someone else's Xingyiquan.
"Half-Step Collapse Fist!"
No need for Xuan Qi's introduction, Luo Tong already knew that the opponent should use this - Half-Step Collapse Fist.
Bubingquan is the simplest type of boxing, there are no key points to practice, just master the three-body style, and then two feet, one advancing and one retreating, always with the left foot in front and the right foot in back, two fists, one going out and one coming in, continuously connected.
Originally, in Luo Tong's view, the power of this half-step collapse fist was not great, but in the hands of a legendary figure like Guo Yunshen, it became a legendary boxing technique.
After all, the moves of Bubujianquan are really too simple, just ordinary stepping punches, without any fancy tricks.
The legendary hero Guo Yunshen, when using this half-step collapse fist, moves as fast as lightning, and the punch arrives at the same time as the person. The half-step collapse fist sweeps across the land, no one can withstand its edge, those who dare to confront it will surely fly out several feet, a reputation that is truly earned.
Now, Luo Tong also tried the power of this half-step collapse fist. Although he wasn't directly blown away for several feet, he still suffered a minor injury.
Xuan Qi looked at his own fist and shook his head, somewhat dissatisfied. In his opinion, this half-step collapsing punch of his had not fully exerted its power yet.
Lao Ding nodded in agreement, having heard Xuan Qi's thoughts. "Just now, your move was launched too early, resulting in the technique being somewhat stale, so at most, only 70% of the power was unleashed. Next time, you can carefully experience when is the best timing to launch the force."
Xuan Qi nodded and indicated that he would carefully consider it.
Bàn Bù Bēng Quán's moves are simple, but it's not easy to bring out its full power. However, Xuán Qí is a very perceptive person who is willing to think things through.
Just now when he threw this punch, he had already grasped some of the door's principles. As long as he found the right timing to exert force, he could unleash the maximum power of his burst fist.
"Master Shi, what's wrong with you standing there? Keep hitting him!"
Jinyu saw Luo Tong standing there dazed and couldn't help but urge him anxiously. With his eyesight, he couldn't tell who had the upper hand between Xuan Qi and Luo Tong just now.
In his view, the two sides just exchanged a blow and then called it quits.
This result was naturally not what Lu Pengfei wanted to see. He had hoped that Luo Tong would help him severely abuse Xuan Qi and vent the evil air in his heart.
"Nonsense!"
Lu Pengfei's incessant chatter at his side finally got to Luo Tong, who coldly said. He wasn't a good-tempered person and didn't like others ordering him around either.
Just now, Lu Pengfei's tone of voice treated Luo Tong as a thug for his father's company. Hearing this, Luo Tong was naturally not very happy. To know that even Lu Dawei didn't dare speak to him in such a tone.
Lu Pengfei was scolded by Luo Tong with one sentence, his face turned purple with rage, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He knew that this guy was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
However, although he didn't say anything on the surface, a hint of anger still flowed out from his golden fish eyes.
"Damn it, can't beat others so take it out on me!"
Having seen the situation in front of him, Lu Pengfei had already guessed that Luo Tong must have suffered a loss. This guy was notorious for being unable to accept defeat.
Lu Pengfei also had some understanding of Luo Tong's character during his days in the Golden Dragon Gang.
"It seems that using fists is no longer suitable." Luo Tong looked at his own fist, which was constantly swelling red, and understood that continuing to use boxing would not give him the upper hand.
However, all along in Chaquanmen, apart from fist techniques, leg techniques are also a sharp weapon for attack.
Compared with boxing, Luo Tong's killer move is his leg technique. In the Cha Gate, his whip kick is a unique skill, belonging to one of the deadly weapons.
Compared with fists, legs are longer, stronger and more lethal.
Lu Tong usually uses cannon fists and the like in a fight, which is enough to defeat his opponent. His 28 Road Cannon Kick skill has rarely had the opportunity to be revealed.
Even if facing an opponent with a handheld weapon, kicking practice is still unbeatable.
Although Tan Tui is composed of 28 characters in palindrome, a total of 28 roads were established, but the latter 18 roads are really too difficult to learn. Generally, people can't even penetrate the secrets within. Most people only see about ten roads of Tan Tui kung fu. However, Luo Tong mastered all 28 Tan Tui, each one thoroughly understood.
Compared with boxing, his legwork skills are even more refined and mature.
"It's been ten years since I last showed my legwork to an outsider. Today, you're the first." Luo Tong rubbed his legs and did a one-legged stance, followed by several swift and agile kicks, with movements that were as flashy as they were impressive.
"Should I feel honored?"
Xuan Qi coldly said: "Is the 28th Road's kick all you've got? Come on and fight, who's afraid of whom!"
After the previous struggle, Xuan Qi's confidence began to grow stronger. With Lao Gui's assistance by his side, he became even more fearless.
Lao Ding looked at Luo Tong with disdain and said, "He's just a leg shooter, not worth mentioning in my eyes. Your half-step collapse fist is enough to deal with him. Although Xingyiquan is simple, the simpler the technique, the more powerful it is. The combat method that has been refined through thousands of hammerings is more practical than fancy movements."
Lao Ding's words were sharp and directly hit the nail on the head, revealing the essence of the matter. To win the final victory, it depends on the opponent's inner strength, not those superficial moves.
A true strike only needs one move to defeat the enemy, without so many moves. The more moves there are, the more they become a routine performance rather than a fight.
"Beat him, beat him to death!"
Jinyu Yan Lu Pengfei stared at the black eye circles, waiting for these two people to start fighting. In his opinion, both of them were quite annoying. However, he still hoped that Luo Tong could win.
Lu Tong let out a loud shout and kicked his legs in rapid succession, the momentum was like lightning, aiming at Xuan Qi's vital spots.
The legendary Half-Step Collapse Fist VS Twenty-Eight Road Spring Leg War is about to begin!
