Chapter 125 Beauty to the Rescue
Chapter 125 Beauty to the Rescue
Xu Xiangbei didn’t dare underestimate his opponent. With a gentle twist of his foot, he released Chen Yonghao’s wrist, his hand forming a vertical palm like a copper wall, to meet the incoming fist.
Pa! A burst of Qi Force scattered in all directions like a wild wind, lifting Liu Ningyan’s skirt.
Liu Ningyan, although suffering from a cold and extreme illness and not practicing the Liu Family’s martial arts, had grown up hearing and seeing her grandfather, father, and uncles practice martial arts, and had some understanding of martial arts techniques.
This punch was extraordinary, and based on the inner strength contained within, could rank among the top ten masters of the Liu Family.
A middle-aged man of medium stature appeared in front of Xu Xiangbei. He had single eyelids and was wearing a double-breasted silk training gown, with Iron Tiger Bracelets on each wrist while rotating a pair of gleaming Iron Gall Balls in his hands, looking coldly at Xu Xiangbei.
Liu Ningyan furrowed her brow slightly. She had seen this person before; he was Ouyang Yufei of the Ouyang Family, one of the three greats of Jiangcheng.
There was a saying in Jiangcheng: the Liu family’s palms, the Chen family’s legs, the Dragon-Tiger Twin Fists are the three greats; the Sword in the Sleeve, the Tiger Head Saber, and a pair of Iron Gall Balls dominate Jiangcheng.
The Liu family’s palms referred to Liu Ningyan’s family. Elder Liu’s Yin and Yang Ba Gua Zhang was well known in Jiangcheng. The Liu Family also had a unique skill called the Sword in the Sleeve.
The Chen family’s legs referred to Chen Bancheng’s family. Chen Ban City’s grandfather, Chen Wanhao, was skilled in wielding a Nine-Hole Tiger Head Saber.
The Dragon-Tiger Twin Fists referred to the Ouyang Family, adept at a set of Dragon Tiger Divine Fist. Elder Master Ouyang, Ouyang Zhan, also had a penchant for wielding a pair of terrifying Iron Gall Balls.
Ouyang Yufei had clearly inherited the true teachings of Elder Master Ouyang, spinning a pair of Iron Gall Balls rapidly in his hands.
Ouyang Yufei was somewhat surprised to see Xu Xiangbei take a punch from him. He gave Liu Ningyan, who was observing from the side, a cold glance. Realizing she was from the Liu Family, he asked Xu Xiangbei more politely, "What relation do you have to the Liu Family, and did you just use Ba Gua Zhang?"
Xu Xiangbei wanted to say Ba Gua Zhang was no big deal, but remembering Liu Ningyan was a Liu family member, he thought he should save face for her family, so he arrogantly said, "I am not someone from the Liu Family at the moment, but maybe in the future, I might be a part of the Liu family through marriage. However, what I used isn’t the Liu family’s Ba Gua Zhang, it’s called the ’Dung-Blocking Palm.’
Upon hearing that Xu Xiangbei wasn’t a Liu family member, Ouyang Yufei thought to himself that since he wasn’t, there was nothing to worry about.
Ouyang Yufei didn’t understand the palm technique Xu Xiangbei mentioned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by Dung-Blocking Palm?"
Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily and replied, "You really are pig-brained. Dung-Blocking Palm, not Ten-Blocking Palm. When a turd flies towards me, I block it, hence it’s called Dung-Blocking Palm."
Only then did Ouyang Yufei understand Xu Xiangbei’s mockery, hearing his own Dragon Tiger Divine Fist described as dung, he was infuriated, his face turning red. "Kid, you should mind your words, or else you’ll regret it."
Xu Xiangbei retorted indifferently, "I already look good, whether or not you let me, I’ll always look good."
Liu Ningyan, watching from the side, couldn’t help but laugh. Ouyang Yufei was quite a character in Jiangcheng. He was the third in the Ouyang Family and had inherited the complete teachings of Elder Master Ouyang Zhan, having opened a Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall, widely accepting disciples. Even Liu Hongan had to be polite to him.
No one expected that he would meet Xu Xiangbei and be infuriated to the point of steaming over.
"You brat! How dare you banter with me. I’ll show you my power!"
Ouyang Yufei grasped an Iron Gall in each hand firmly, launching a combination of punches towards Xu Xiangbei. This time, Xu Xiangbei didn’t dare to take them head-on.
These punches not only contained powerful inner strength but held a hard Iron Gall within the fist. The punches’ power was augmented by the iron, each punch fierce and gusty. If Xu Xiangbei took just one hit, his bones might break, and his tendons could fracture.
Originally, Xu Xiangbei could have easily played around with Ouyang Yufei, but when he tried to use his Qi, he felt a sense of depletion at his Dantian.
He suddenly remembered, treating Liu Ningyan’s illness in the afternoon, he used the third technique against the heavens, exhausting his inner strength.
The little inner strength he had regained was about to be used up again.
Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but smile wryly. He tried not to confront Ouyang Yufei head-on, mostly dodging, and only when forced to, used his palm to meet and block those heavy fists.
After more than a dozen moves had passed, his movements became noticeably slower. With each punch he blocked, his body shuddered uncontrollably.
Another punch came enveloped with ferocious Qi Force: "Twin Dragons Emerge from the Sea."
The fists, like venomous snakes, lunged forward with their venomous tongues extended. Xu Xiangbei caught it with both hands fiercely, and with a boom, he felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Xu Xiangbei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and defiantly cursed, "Flying Fish, don’t get cocky, I just spent all my energy this afternoon, otherwise, you wouldn’t be the one to beat me."
Ouyang Yufei squinted his eyes, secretly alarmed. The move he just executed, "Twin Dragons Emerge from the Sea," was one of the most exquisite and forceful techniques in his thirty-six path Dragon Tiger Divine Fist. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangbei, after taking it, only spat out a mouthful of blood and was still confidently arguing with him.
A trace of ferocity flashed across Ouyang Yufei’s face. If there truly was truth in Xu Xiangbei’s words, today would be the perfect opportunity to finish him off; otherwise, it would be problematic if he recovered.
Seeing Ouyang Yufei’s gloomy expression, seemingly intent on ending his life, Xu Xiangbei couldn’t help but smile bitterly at his own foolishness for revealing everything to his opponent.
He glanced at where Liu Ningyan was standing earlier, but found she had disappeared.
Xu Xiangbei felt reassured, smiling as he said, "Stinking Flying Fish, come on, I am not afraid of you."
Ouyang Yufei tightened his grip on the Iron Gall Balls; he intended not only to unleash the Dragon Tiger Divine Fist but to smash Xu Xiangbei with the Iron Gall Balls.
Relentlessly pursuing and surrounding Xu Xiangbei with punches, he vowed not to stop until he knocked Xu Xiangbei down.
Just when Xu Xiangbei seemed to be in increasing danger, from afar came the roar of a powerful motorcycle engine. A blinding beam of light pierced through, making it impossible for anyone to keep their eyes open.
In the blink of an eye, the motorcycle charged forward. None of the large men surrounding Xu Xiangbei dared to block it with their mortal bodies, hurriedly dodging aside; those who failed to move fast enough were flung out as the motorcycle hit them.
The motorcycle’s blinding headlights forced Ouyang Yufei to shield his eyes. Suddenly, a great force struck him at the waist, knocking him into the garden.
The motorcycle swerved with a tail flick and came to a stable stop beside Xu Xiangbei, accompanied by a tender shout: "Why are you still standing there like a fool? Get on the bike fast."
Xu Xiangbei also shielded his eyes from the glaring light, seeing Ouyang Yufei being kicked away, he had intended to humiliate him further. Upon hearing the motorcycle rider’s female voice calling out to him to get on, he immediately understood.
He leapt softly onto the motorcycle and tightly embraced the rider’s slender waist.
A familiar fragrance of perfume wafted over. Xu Xiangbei smiled and asked, "Black Rose, you’re finally here. I was starting to think you had gone missing."
Unwilling to let go, Chen Yonghao yelled loudly, "Stop them, don’t let them escape."
But the motorcycle was like a furious wild horse, and no one dared to block its path.
