Chapter 38: Unbeatable
"Henglian?" Lu Yu shook the spear, feeling inexplicably nervous and curious.
The mainstream martial arts of Dayin today, including nourishing the essence, expanding the meridians, opening the meridians, and opening up the acupoints, as well as the higher realms above, focus on strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence, nurturing the acquired and innate energy, tapping into the treasures within the body, and ultimately cultivating all kinds of incredible martial arts supernatural powers.
He can make thunder out of his breath, and weapons out of his gathered energy. He can fly into the sky and shatter clouds with his iron palm. To the ordinary world, his supernatural powers are no different from those of the gods in legends.
Practicing external skills and concentrating on tempering the body in an effort to forge the bones, flesh and meridians of the whole body into a diamond-like piece is considered a unorthodox practice.
He does not have any magical qualities like martial arts, except that he has thick skin and flesh that can withstand blows, and he has strong bones like steel. He can run faster and jump higher. Apart from that, his lifespan is no different from that of an ordinary person. It may even be shorter than that of an ordinary person because of excessive damage to his body.
This is Dayin's martial arts practice.
However, it is undeniable that Henglian Wuxiu's early training progress is extremely fast and his combat power is extremely strong. As long as enough resources are accumulated, he can have the combat power of Peiyuan Realm or even Tuomai Realm in just a few years.
Whether it is the Mansion of the Duke of Lai, the Mansion of the Marquis of Tian'en, or even those wealthy and powerful families with military merits in Dayin, they all have family generals and servants who specialize in practicing Henglian martial arts.
When Lu Yu was studying at the Lu clan school, he had seen the well-trained servants surrounding the eldest sons of the direct lineage. They were a group of strong men who could push eight horses down, pull nine oxen back, and who could run horses on their shoulders and stand people on their arms.
Pointing the spear directly at the Adam's apple of the big man standing several feet away, Lu Yu said coldly: "I have always wanted to find a Henglian master to practice with."
The big man laughed and pointed at Lu Yi: "Practice? No, just for fun. But what we are playing with today is your life."
Shaking his head, the big man sighed: "Looking at you, you are also a good man. It's a pity that you offended someone you shouldn't have offended."
Lu Yi's heart moved, and he was about to test the big man's words, when suddenly a low roar came from the big man's chest. He took a step forward, a gust of evil wind sounded, and he rushed in front of Lu Yi and punched Lu Yi in the head.
With a loud bang, the man punched down, and it was like a thunder exploding beside the ear.
Lu Yu felt a sharp pain in his ears, and his mind was shaken. He subconsciously raised his hands and pointed the steel spear out like a long snake emerging from water, and with a "swish" it pierced the big man's Adam's apple with incredible speed.
To fire this shot, Lu Yi only used the physical strength of his arms and did not activate his Yuan Gang cultivation.
With a crisp "ding" sound, Lu Yi's hands shook, and the steel gun bounced back with vibration. A sesame-sized white spot appeared on the big man's Adam's apple, but other than that, his skin was not broken at all.
The heavy punch hit him directly on the head. Lu Yi lowered his head in a hurry, and the single ponytail behind his head swung upwards suddenly. The big man's heavy punch hit Lu Yi's ponytail directly.
The scalp was in great pain, and large pieces of hair were flying. Lu Yi's ponytail was broken by a punch, and more than two feet of it was cut off. The hair rope that tied the braid broke into pieces, and the remaining more than one foot long hair fluttered in the wind from the fist.
Lu Yi retreated quickly.
The big man laughed in a low voice, and there was a continuous rumbling sound of breathing in his chest, as if there were several tigers hiding in his chest, breathing and roaring in a low voice.
He followed Lu Yi step by step, and punched Lu Yi's head with every step he took.
A series of crisp collision sounds of "Ding Ding Ding" were heard continuously. The steel spear in Lu Yi's hand made a series of sharp sounds of breaking through the air. The spear was extremely accurate and pierced the big man's Adam's apple again and again.
The big man pressed forward twelve steps and punched twelve times in a row.
Lu Yi retreated twelve steps and stabbed more than a hundred times.
Lu Yi's spear skills were considered quite good. He fired more than a hundred shots, almost all of which hit the same spot.
But there was only a bean-sized white spot on the big man's Adam's apple. Apart from that, his oily skin was still not scratched at all.
A huge recoil force hit, and Lu Yi's wrist was injured by the recoil force. When he moved his wrist, he felt a dull pain in the joint, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
"Your shooting skills are good, but with this little force, this broken gun can't hurt me." The big man laughed in a low voice. He took a deep breath and watched the muscles in his upper body swell up strangely. The black suit with centipede buckles was tightened, and then it shattered with a few "crackling" sounds.
The big man had his upper body exposed, and the twisted and throbbing blood vessels under his skin were wriggling violently.
The next moment, his punches were like hail, and a series of dense "bang bang bang" sounds of breaking through the air rang out.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and smiled brightly at the big man: "Thank you for satisfying my curiosity. The martial artists in Peiyuan Realm and Tuomai Realm are indeed not as good as Henglian martial artists in terms of physique, strength, and strongest combat power."
"However, I am going to use Yuan Gang next. Do you dare to take another hundred shots from me?"
Lu Yi took a deep breath.
Lu Yi had just fired more than a hundred shots, and he only used his physical strength. But it was obvious that his physical strength was no match for that of the big man.
He exhaled continuously, the vast ocean of energy surged in his body, and a faint blue light flashed on Lu Yi's skin. He fired again, and the speed of the gun suddenly increased by more than twice, especially a cold light flashed on the tip of the gun, and then more than three inches of gun energy spurted out, with a breathtaking sound of breaking the air, and went straight to the big man's Adam's apple.
The big man became more serious.
He did not dare to let the spear covered with Lu Yi's spear aura pierce his Adam's apple again, so he punched Lu Yi's spear with a heavy fist.
Dozens of clang clang clang sounds were heard as the big man's heavy fist and Lu Yi's gun tip kept colliding. The big man's fist was heavier, but Lu Yi's gun was faster.
The big man threw a punch, but Lu Yi had already stabbed him seven or eight times.
Dense gun lights pierced the big man's fist repeatedly, and huge force hit the gun barrel. The steel gun was bent and rebounded again and again, just like a wounded python, constantly making a "buzzing" sound that could not bear the heavy load.
Suddenly there was a loud bang. The steel spear in Lu Yi's hand could not withstand the continuous impact. From the position where he held it to the tip of the spear, the eight-foot-long steel spear shattered inch by inch, and the broken gun barrel flew rapidly in all directions.
Lu Yi cried out softly and quickly retreated backwards. He didn't dare to use his body to block the flying gun fragments.
The big man smiled strangely, casually covering his eyes with his hands, like a bull charging forward, forcing his way through the flying debris, and in two steps he rushed to the retreating Lu Yi.
"Die!"
The big man roared in a low voice, and rushed his huge body forward. He retracted his fist, turned around, and stretched out his right elbow. With a "bang", the air was shattered and it hit Lu Yi's chest hard.
The iron elbow was like a heavy artillery, attacking him violently.
Lu Yi's hands were covered with faint blue water light, and his Jingtao Hand rushed towards Tiezhou with a dull sound of waves.
As soon as his hands touched the iron elbow, Lu Yi's face changed drastically.
Even though he used all his strength and even used Yuan Gang to activate the secret technique of Jingtao Hand, Lu Yi still couldn't withstand the terrifying force from the big man's iron elbow.
With just a slight touch, Lu Yu judged that this big man's Henglian cultivation was terrifyingly high, and his strength was at least ten times more than Lu Yu's current full strength!
How strong is this guy's body ?
His skin has probably been tempered to the point where it's as protective as wearing five or six layers of heavy armor.
Lu Yi's hands lightly touched the big man's iron elbows, and he swung his hands backwards. His body swayed with the force, his mind flickered with spiritual light, his eyes flashed with green light, and a silent stream of wind rose from his feet. His body suddenly became much lighter, and his speed more than doubled again.
"Swish!"
The big man's eyes blurred, and Lu Yi's body turned into a shadow and passed by the big man.
When Lu Yi flew, a green stream of wind flashed on the fingertips of his left hand. He almost stretched out his hand to hit the big man's neck, but after hesitating for a moment, he forced his hand down.
The big man's iron elbow suddenly lost its target, and the terrifying force went in vain. He lost his balance and took a sudden step forward.
Lu Yi accelerated suddenly and was already behind the big man . He gathered all his energy and activated Jingtao Hand. His hands made a dull sound of waves, and "bang bang bang" he hit the big man's back with one hundred and eight consecutive palms.
The big man's elbow missed, and he took a step forward, his body leaning forward, and it was too late to turn around.
In a flash, the big man took a deep breath, and the muscles on his back suddenly bulged more than three inches high, and a layer of dark metallic glow appeared on his dark skin.
Lu Yi slapped the big man on the back 108 times in a row, and low "bang bang" sounds continued.
The hidden power of Jingtao Hand was like an undercurrent of a tsunami, constantly bombarding the big man's body, trying to penetrate his skin and flesh defenses and invade his internal organs.
The Jingtao Hand is best at accumulating momentum. Once the momentum is achieved, the potential power will come one after another, wave after wave. In the end, dozens or hundreds of palms of dark power will be connected in one breath, constantly eroding the opponent's body, and can forcibly blast the opponent's flesh, cervical vertebrae, internal organs, etc. into pieces with a devastating force.
However, the gap between Lu Yi's cultivation and the big man's was too big. He hit the big man with one palm after another, and there was a continuous muffled sound. Before the latent force could penetrate the big man's skin membrane, it was like a huge wave hitting a solid reef, and the latent force was shattered, without penetrating the big man's body at all.
Not only that, there was also terrifying potential force that kept rolling back and attacking Lu Yi's palm, wrist, and arm again and again.
After the 108 palm strikes, 70% to 80% of the internal energy in Lu Yi's body had been consumed. He gasped for breath, staggered and flew backwards six or seven feet away, looking in horror at the big man who slowly turned around as if nothing had happened.
The big man didn't suffer any harm, just lost some strength.
On the contrary, Lu Yi's wrists and elbows were in severe pain due to the shock, especially his ten knuckles, which were red and swollen, and his finger joints were almost dislocated.
"You just said that you wanted to find a Henglian master to practice with?" The big man shook his head at Lu Yi sarcastically: "I told you, it's just for fun. But, it's your life that's at stake!"
The big man tilted his head vigorously to the left and right. He laughed in a low voice and said, "Okay, Master Lu, let me be honest. At your age, you are already an expert in meridian expansion. It's not easy. It's really not easy."
"But it's useless. You have offended someone you shouldn't have offended, so you must die here."
"Remember my name. I am the 'Eight-Armed Demon Bear' Xiong Dingtian, the head of the Xiong Clan Martial Arts School in Gaojing. Tsk, you deserve to die in my hands. Two years ago, a captain of the Sikoutai who was at the first level of Martial Arts was beaten half to death by me. What about you?"
Xiong Dingtian looked at Lu Yi with a smile: "How about you cooperate with me and stop resisting? I will leave you a whole body."
"It's not even the fifteenth day of the first lunar month yet. It's New Year's Day, and it's unlucky to make a mess of blood, right?"
Lu Yi shook his arms, and Yuan Gang flushed the meridians in his arms, relieving the pain in his arms.
He looked at Xiong Dingtian and laughed dryly, "I really can't beat you. Tsk, I'll introduce you to a good opponent next time... Xiong Dingtian, right? I'll remember that, we have a long time to live together, Xiong's martial arts school, right? Let's get closer in the future!"
Xiong Dingtian's expression suddenly changed.
The black-clothed man who had just led Lu Yi here whistled and waved his hands. Three fist-sized iron balls whistled towards Lu Yi's back with the sound of breaking through the air.
