Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 167 - 148: Half-step Breaking Fist! Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

Chapter 167: Chapter 148: Half-step Breaking Fist! Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound!

One against two!

Yan Chuan runs rampant!

"That’s Wang Kuan!"

"That’s Jian Rong!"

"Two Inner Court Elders of Guangling Academy, with terrifying strength. I once heard that Wang Kuan fought solo against the Seven Immortal Swords without falling behind! Jian Rong once faced the entire Fu Family alone, suppressing all of them! Are these two actually losing to Yan Chuan together? Is this real?!"

"Is Yan Chuan that formidable?"

Present.

Some were shocked.

Some were skeptical.

Wang Kuan and Jian Rong, noble as Inner Court Elders of Guangling Academy, have their strengths proven over time. Over the past eight years, facing doubts and challenges from the Old School, both have demonstrated tangible combat abilities beyond question.

Each, alone, is peerless against the Old School!

Yet now, they are being overpowered by Yan Chuan in a one-on-two battle!

After all, Yan Chuan is only twenty-six, how can he have such power?!

True or false!

Too false!

Some doubted!

But some found it normal!

"Don’t forget!"

"Palace Master Yan once shot and killed Wu Qi at the Guangling Martial Arts Competition in November. Wasn’t Wu Qi also an Inner Court Elder of Guangling Academy, just like Wang Kuan and Jian Rong? If Palace Master Yan could kill Wu Qi, he can kill Wang Kuan, he can kill Jian Rong!"

"Just a few days ago, Yao Qingshan, killed by the Palace Master, was also an Inner Court Elder of Liyang Academy. His strength was no less than Wang Kuan and Jian Rong, but he too was killed by the Palace Master! That was a public life-and-death struggle, there can be no falsehood!"

"Palace Master Yan is indeed strong, don’t underestimate him!"

...

These people have it right!

Yan Chuan!

Seemingly weak but truly strong!

Don’t look at his mere age of twenty-six, or that he hasn’t broken the limits, and assume his strength is lacking.

Indeed.

At the Martial Arts Competition, Yan Chuan relied on the ’Red Tassel Spear’ for a surprise to kill Wu Qi.

After the competition, Yan Chuan relied on the ’Golden Silkworm Silk Armor’ and ’Flying Knife’ for surprise kills of Wen Wu and Yuan Shicai.

During his first entry into the Mountain and Sea Realm, Yan Chuan again relied on the ’Golden Silkworm Silk Armor’ and ’Flying Knife’ for a surprise kill of Tu Lie.

However, since then, now, come December, Yan Chuan’s strength is far more advanced!

...

"Ming Energy!"

"Dark Force!"

"Transformation Energy!"

Wang Kuan and Jian Rong retreated step by step.

Yan Chuan excelled at using Splitting Fist!

Every time Wang Kuan and Jian Rong thought the Splitting Fist was ordinary and believed Yan Chuan was at his wit’s end, Yan Chuan always introduced new tricks with his Splitting Fist.

Bright, dark, and transformation!

Changes at will!

No distinction between high and low!

And his Splitting Fist was not limited to bright, dark, and transformation powers, but also mixed in capture, slap, bump, press, and split forces, making it unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

Various strength!

Various combinations!

Greatly destructive!

Not just that.

Not just the ’Splitting Fist’ itself.

Also!

Within Yan Chuan’s fist and feet movements, from beginning to end, there was an even more hidden yet extraordinary strength contained, with every move and style, accompanied by Inner Strength.

This is——

"Mixed Element Skill!"

...

’Mixed Element Skill’ is entirely contrary to the cultivation methods of other Inner Strengths in the world; it cultivates from the outside in, an extremely unique method for inner cultivation. Although ordinary people practicing this art take a long time with slow results, there is no fear of deviation into madness while practicing, and once mastered, its power is exceptionally great, serving as an excellent foundational Inner Strength, even as the fundamental mental method.

This skill cultivates both internally and externally, allowing each move during combat to naturally carry Inner Strength, capable of defeating an opponent without conscious effort. Once ’Mixed Element Skill’ succeeds, it becomes invincible and indestructible.

Yan Chuan created ’Mixed Element Skill’ and had already achieved great success.

Different from others.

Yan Chuan internally cultivated ’Mixed Element Skill’, while externally building upon the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill centered on ’Cheng Family Boxing’. The Inner Strength derived from mastering Hundred Schools Boxing Skill nourished the ’Mixed Element Skill’ ——

Cultivation from outside in!

Fast growth!

From November to December, within just over a month, Yan Chuan’s ’Mixed Element Skill’ progressed steadily ——

He had long cultivated ’Mixed Element Qi’ to autonomously guard his inner and outer body, for defense!

Simultaneously, by leveraging ’Mixed Element Qi’, with nourishment from the Hundred Schools Boxing Skill from outside in, he cultivated an immense and ever-present ’Mixed Element Power’, striking with penetrating pain, for offense!

Mixed Element Qi!

Integration of offense and defense!

Therefore.

To gauge Yan Chuan’s strength, one cannot simply look at his Qi-Blood proficiency, not only see that he has not broken limits, but also observe that with his impressive boxing foundation, his ’Mixed Element Skill’, ’Mixed Element Power’, and ’Mixed Element Qi’, have already grown to a considerable depth.

Internal and external cultivation!

Side by side!

One plus one, greater than two!

Yan Chuan!

Truly strong!

...

Earlier.

Against the sudden attack from Yao Qingshan and Tang Huai Ren, Yan Chuan fled out of caution and sought reinforcements.

But now, facing Wang Kuan and Jian Rong, Yan Chuan understood there was no life-threatening danger, just a contest, so he devoted himself entirely, deploying everything to the fullest.

In no time.

He surprisingly suppressed the two elders!

Splitting Fist!

Splitting Fist!

Still Splitting Fist!

One trick wonders are enduring!

"Metal produces Water, nourishing Metal; Lungs and Kidneys are inherently connected."

"Split open the volcano, access the elixir stove; Drill out Kidney Water, return to Kunlun."

Yan Chuan’s Splitting Fist, truly powerful!

However, Wang Kuan and Jian Rong were not weak either. Having broken the limits, one had achieved success in arm muscle training, and the other in leg muscle training, they were not weaklings and had their strengths.

After enduring the initial ferocity, once they stabilized and adapted, Yan Chuan’s ’Splitting Fist’, although still formidable, although still capable of attacks, ultimately revealed weakness against two opponents. The two elders had already stabilized and began to counter-press Yan Chuan, pushing him back!

"Splitting Fist!"

"Still Splitting Fist?"

"Still splitting?"

"Not changing?"

Jian Rong’s left leg was ordinary, but her right leg was like a flood dragon, with smooth lines, powerful strength, muscle control, and powerful bursts. Even though her boxing and leg techniques were inferior to Yan Chuan, relying on this right leg and abundant Qi-Blood, after overcoming the initial surprise, she was already unhurried.

She alone could withstand Yan Chuan, not to mention having Wang Kuan’s assistance.

On Yan Chuan’s side.

His attacks frequently blocked, gradually losing his edge.

However!

Splitting Fist!

Still Splitting Fist!

Yan Chuan still did not switch!

Jian Rong frowned.

Wang Kuan raised a brow: "He’s pondering the Splitting Fist!"

Both were shocked: "Has Splitting Fist reached its peak, can there still be changes?"

In their view, Yan Chuan had already reached the pinnacle with Splitting Fist through beating the strong as weak, exhaustingly changing it, and there was no more room for novelty.

But now, Yan Chuan seemed to still be mulling it over!

The two elders showed surprise and suspicion.

They were right!

But they were also wrong! freёweɓnovel.com

Yan Chuan indeed pondered, yet he pondered the ’Splitting Fist’ not for the sake of pondering ’Splitting Fist’.

’Splitting Fist’ was exhausted.

Then, Yan Chuan’s eyes suddenly brightened ——

"Wrong!"

"Wrong!"

"’Splitting Fist’ is associated with metal, I initially thought it best matched ’Mixed Element Skill’ and ’Mixed Element Power’!"

"But, wrong, wrong, wrong!"

"’Mixed Element Power’ strikes with piercing pain, it’s not ’Splitting Fist’, nor ’Drilling Fist’, it should match with ’Beng Fist’!"

Beng Fist of the Five Elements Boxing!

It’s a type of direct punch, punching directly forward, forming the fist while punching, with the fist eye facing up, palm inward, and power on the fist surface. When exerting force, the energy is hidden, gives a short-distance forceful impact, the arm doesn’t fully extend, and force originates from the root. It primarily relies on wrist and forearm muscles to transmit strength, suddenly moving, making short, abrupt strikes, fast and fierce, its power penetrating the viscera, a typical penetrating strength boxing technique.

The force of ’Five Elements Boxing’ is cohesive, ’Beng Fist’ certainly cannot rely solely on local body power for striking, but must tap into ’visceral’ power, mobilizing the entire body’s strength.

"’Beng Fist’ is classified as wood, akin to an arrow piercing through objects, with powerful striking capabilities; when exerting force, it’s fierce as an avalanche."

"In terms of penetration!"

"’Beng Fist’ is number one!"

Yan Chuan’s eyes gleamed, and in an instant, he switched from ’Splitting Fist’ to ’Beng Fist’, only to see him——

Advance with the front foot, follow with the back foot, the two feet do not exchange places. When the front foot advances, it pushes forward again, like a steel shovel going straight forward, emphasizing the ’shovel’ movement. When the back foot follows, the emphasis is on ’stamping’. The left foot is like the top of a spring, and the right foot is like the end of the spring. Between this shove and stamp, as the front foot advances, it is like an iron ox plowing the field. It is neither biased nor off-balance, centered and straight, instantly seizing the middle gate of Wang Kuan. When the back foot stamps, it’s fast, fierce, like an arrow leaving the bow.

With a thought, a shake, he advanced!

Then——

"Beng Power!"

"Mixed Element Qi!"

The entire body’s Beng Fist power was circulating inside along with the ’Mixed Element Skill’-developed ’Mixed Element Qi’, filling the body. Besides Beng Power, it also mixed in pressing force, wrapping force, pouncing power, shaking force, stepping force!

Mixed Element Qi!

Yin Yang Qi!

First accumulate then release, first loose then tight.

Immediately——

Smooth step transitions to oblique step!

When less than an inch from Wang Kuan——

"Break!"

Yan Chuan shouted, releasing a suddenly fierce, violent, ruthless force——

Mixing pressing, twisting, rubbing, flipping, stamping, fierce, smooth, penetrating eight forces!

Three Body Formation!

Floating Cloud Stance!

Then in the arena, Yan Chuan suddenly erupted, launching fists in quick succession like continuous arrows, throwing the left fist with smooth step, the right fist with oblique step, delivering consecutive punches.

Yin Yang Body!

The three tips of hands, feet, and nose correspond, with his entire body’s strength unifying inside and out!

Beng!

Beng!

Beng!

Even with Wang Kuan’s forearm defense, he couldn’t prevent Yan Chuan’s ferocious assault.

His arms were actually numbed and pricked by the Beng force, slowing slightly and exposing a flaw——

Bam!

Yan Chuan seized the opportunity, Beng Fist upon the chest, and instantly knocked Wang Kuan flying.

Wang Kuan, defeated!

He then turned to half-side, repeating the technique on Jian Rong.

Bam!

Moments later!

Jian Rong was also knocked back by Beng!

Jian Rong, also defeated!

The two elders were shocked: "Is this Beng Fist? This is not Beng Fist!"

"Like an arrow from a bow, the news relying entirely on the back foot’s stamp.

With Kidney Water nourishing Liver Wood, loose shoulders and drooping elbows calm Qi."

Yan Chuan returned to the Floating Cloud Stance, showing a smile——

"This is!"

"Half-step Beng Fist!"

...

Your ’Beng Fist’ has been upgraded, Fourth Realm Slightly Accomplished → Fifth Realm of Mastery

You’ve realized ’Half-step Beng Fist’.

...

Beng Fist Mastery Skill——

Half-step Beng Fist!

With the momentum of a boat on wave peaks, its form akin to arrows yet not, this is ’Half-step Beng Fist’!

This is both an ultimate move realized after mastering ’Beng Fist’ and the foundation of ’Beng Fist’. Through ’Half-step Beng Fist’, one can unify ’Oblique Step Beng Fist’, ’Smooth Step Beng Fist’, ’Cross-step Beng Fist’, and ’Progressive Beng Fist’, enhancing power, thus, ’Half-step Beng Fist’ can also be called ’Beng Fist Mother Fist’, the mother of Beng Fist.

Beng Fist Mastery!

Yan Chuan, delighted——

"My path is realized!"

What he needed most now was ’Beng Fist’, this penetrating number one ’Beng Fist’!

But, as his voice fell——

Rumbling!

Thunder rumbled!

"Thunder now?"

Of course not!

This is——

"Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound?!"
