Volume 2: The Two Great Prideful Ones (Part 1) Chapter 33: Subduing the Tiger
Day 7, morning.
The sun is rising and there is a thin cloud in the valley.
Ever since Du Sha was seriously injured, the atmosphere in the Evil Valley has become somewhat unusual.
After Du Sha said the name of "Southern Hero Lu Zhongyuan", the villains in the Evil Valley became even more uneasy.
Lu Zhongyuan was a righteous hero decades ago. He had fought against Du Sha. Although he was defeated in a decisive battle with the enemy and retired, his martial arts skills should not be underestimated.
The fact that "Blood Hand" Du Sha was forced into the Valley of Evil was due at least half to Lu Zhongyuan.
Even if Hahaer and others were not afraid that Lu Zhongyuan would dare to break into the Valley of Evil, no one could feel at ease with such a famous sword hanging over their heads, which could deal a fatal blow at any time.
In the Valley of Evil, only the seriously injured Du Sha was the most open and calm; he was even more relaxed than Su Weiyun.
Du Sha sat quietly at the door of the wooden house.
He seemed to like quietness very much and didn't like any unnecessary noise.
So generally speaking, when he didn't want to speak, Su Weiyun wouldn't speak either, but would just ponder the book "Acupressure Technique" beside him.
"Acupoint Pressing" was a reward from Su Lingzhi, and the high quality of its teaching was beyond doubt.
However, as Su Weiyun read on, he discovered that the content was not complicated. It simply introduced the various acupuncture points in the human body and the method of concentrating internal force at the fingertips without dispersing it.
It should be noted that each school and sect has its own unique method of acupoint pressing, which vary greatly from each other. Some are sophisticated, while others are crude. It is impossible to describe them all in a few words.
This book is more like an introductory manual on basic acupoint pressing.
Su Weiyun closed the book and sighed. He knew that he still had a lot to learn.
Du Sha suddenly spoke up: "Are you learning acupuncture? Whose acupuncture points do you want to press? Is it the girl called Little Fairy?"
Su Weiyun was surprised and said, "I don't want to press anyone's acupoints, I just want to learn it for self-defense."
Du Sha said: "Self-defense? Acupressure is not the best self-defense technique."
Su Weiyun asked: "What is it then?"
Du Sha said coldly: "Kill people! Killing people is the best way to protect yourself!"
If you kill the enemy, he will naturally not be able to kill you. Your "body" will also be "protected".
Su Weiyun felt that Du Sha might want to teach him something, so he asked while the iron was hot: "Boss Du, can you teach me how to kill?!"
Du Sha sighed, "Sure. You saved my life after all. As long as your request is not too excessive, I will satisfy it."
Su Weiyun was excited, thinking that he was going to stand up and practice a set of advanced martial arts and then teach him.
Unexpectedly, Du Sha was still sitting there quietly, without even changing his posture.
Su Weiyun said: "Boss Du, you..."
Du Sha said: "I speak, you listen!"
"good."
Du Sha showed a look of reminiscence and said, "You must still remember what Sima Yan said that night."
Su Weiyun said: "I remember."
Du Sha said: "What he said makes sense."
Sima Yan said that only if Du was killed, Hahaer and the others would be without a boss and they could become the boss themselves.
Du Sha suddenly said in a very slow tone: "But Sima Yan is wrong. Hahaer, Tu Jiaojiao, Li Dazui and others will never come to kill me. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Du Sha said: "Because they need a boss like me."
"Haha, Tu Jiaojiao is more afraid of death than the other. Every time they encounter a strong enemy, they just run away and then think of ways to retaliate later."
"But I am different. When I face the enemy in battle, I never retreat even a single step. Even if I fight with Yan Nantian, I will never back down!"
Su Weiyun frowned and said, "But if you don't run away when you meet an opponent stronger than you, isn't that very dangerous? If you make the slightest mistake, you will be killed by the enemy."
Du Sha's expression became extremely serious. He turned around and said to Su Weiyun seriously, word by word, "But this is exactly why I am still alive after more than 300 life-and-death battles!"
When Su Weiyun heard these words, his heart was shaken, as if hit by a hammer.
He seemed to understand something, but couldn't quite grasp that hint of inspiration.
Du Sha said: "Haha, Tu Jiaojiao and the others don't understand this principle. They must escape. If someone escapes, of course someone must stay behind to stop the pursuers. The person who stays behind is usually me."
Su Weiyun said: "So, you are actually the barrier for Senior Xiao and the others. As long as you don't fall, they will be fine."
Du Sha's face moved slightly, as if he was smiling, and said, "Yes. That's exactly the truth."
Du Sha added: "This is the principle of killing people! If Sima Yan doesn't understand this principle, he will be killed!"
Su Weiyun was silent for a long time.
Suddenly a breeze blew through the valley, blowing away the mist.
Su Weiyun said: "Boss Du, I want to learn something else."
Du Sha asked, "What else?"
Su Weiyun said: "Although I understand the principle of killing, I still want to learn the skills of killing."
Du Sha nodded and said, "Okay, I'll teach you!"
…
In another wooden house.
A tiger was caged inside.
There was one other person in the room, and only one person.
Su Weiyun.
Du Sha actually used the same method he used to train Xiao Yuer and locked Su Weiyun and Lao Hu in the same room .
The tiger is hungry and wants to eat people. So if people want to live, they have to kill the tiger!
There is a tiger and a man, and in the end only one can get out of the house.
Su Weiyun stood in the house, relatively calm. He had seen many storms and waves, and would not be frightened by a hungry tiger.
The only thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that he had no weapons in his hands, so he could only fight the tiger with his bare hands.
Outside, Du Sha's cold voice came: "Don't underestimate it. If you lose and get eaten, I won't come to save you!"
With a gleam in his eyes, Tiger squatted in the corner of the room, pacing back and forth, examining Su Weiyun, the intruder.
Su Weiyun smiled at it.
The tiger pounced immediately!
It desperately needs food!
Su Weiyun rolled on the ground very quickly, from one end of the room to the other, and the tiger missed her.
Although it missed, it quickly stabilized its body, stood lightly on all four feet, turned around, and looked at Su Weiyun with a wary look.
This is a test, both sides are testing their opponents.
The tiger wanted to test Su Weiyun's agility, while Su Weiyun wanted to test the tiger's speed.
The tiger was eager to try, and gently clawed forward as if to attack, but then retreated.
Its methods of hunting are apparently not as barbaric as people believe.
Or maybe the tiger realized that Su Weiyun posed a considerable threat.
Su Weiyun said to himself: "Boss Du asked me to come in. What did he want me to learn? Capture and kill tigers?!"
He suddenly kicked the wall, leaped forward, and leaped into the air, wanting to ride on the tiger's back.
The tiger lay on its back, curled up into a ball, and slapped Su Weiyun's head with its two front paws!
Su Weiyun looked at the tiger's attack and suddenly an idea came to him and he used the "Going up the mountain to fight the tiger" move from the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist.
He flipped in the air, kicked the tiger on the forehead, then turned around and sat firmly on .
The tiger stood up and roared wildly, trying to knock Su Weiyun to the ground.
And when Su Weiyun was sitting on it, he felt a wonderful feeling coming from the sky, which prompted him to use another trick of "riding a tiger and being unable to get off".
This is also a move in Arhat's Subduing Tiger Fist.
Su Weiyun concentrated his internal strength into his fists and punched the tiger's waist more than ten times in a row.
Bang, bang, bang!
The Arhat's Subduing Tiger Fist was extremely powerful. A normal person would not be able to withstand two or three punches. However, the tiger was hit by more than ten punches, all of which hit its vital parts. Finally, it wailed and collapsed to the ground.
The hungry tiger had no strength to resist, and the outcome of the battle was decided.
Su Weiyun walked down from the tiger, but the tiger did not get up and run away. Instead, it suddenly turned its head, roared fiercely, and slapped its palms horizontally, delivering a final blow!
Su Weiyun was startled, but subconsciously used the move of "releasing the tiger back to the mountains". He lay down, put his hands under the tiger's paws with extremely clever strength, and then used this force to flip the tiger's body upside down and threw it far away.
Letting the tiger return to the mountains is the most difficult and most sophisticated move in the Arhat Subduing Tiger Fist.
"Go up the mountain to fight the tiger", "It's hard to get off the tiger", "Let the tiger go back to the mountain". These three moves are used naturally and smoothly, as if they were arranged in advance.
The tiger's paw was finally only a few inches away from Su Weiyun's face.
Su Weiyun was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, but was thinking back to the battle just now.
"Luohan Subduing Tiger Fist, no wonder it is called 'Subduing Tiger', this fist style seems to be born to fight against tigers! Every move restrains every action of the tiger..."
"What about humans? Do humans sometimes behave like tigers? Arhat subdues tiger, subdues tiger..."
Su Weiyun suddenly gained a deeper understanding of this boxing technique.
