Romance of Dragons and Snakes

Chapter 87: Acupoint Hitting Hidden Jin

Dai Jun never would have thought that Wang Chao’s would have become extremely sinister in his attacks. Even the eagle claw had been heavy with the fingers releasing a large amount of Jin. Wave after wave, the power had been short, fast, fierce, violent, and terrible.

When he drew himself back and dodged Wang Chao’s fatal claw, he never would have thought that before he could tell him to stop, countless black spots would appear in his vision with a slight buzzing sound as if they were hornets.

Wang Chao had grabbed a handful of sand and threw it mercilessly. This strong throw had been comparable to the firing of pellets from a gun. If it were to make contact with the face of a person, then it would break apart.

“Not good!”

Dai Jun had instantly knew things were not looking good from the sounds. However, he was a veteran of the battlefield and came across many sinister attacks without ever panicking in the face of danger.

Ha! His left hand flew into the arm. With a popping sound, his arm shook as if he was waving a banner and completely slapped away the sand.

At the same time, Dai Jun took a step back and delivered a straight punch with his right hand at the heart level towards Wang Chao’s chest.

As his heart pounded, so did his fist! An unbelievable amount of force came out from his fist; it was no longer a fist made with the power of the muscle, but rather with the power of the heart!

Wang Chao’s move to grab the penis had been dodged. Wang Chao’s handful of sand had also been deflected by the “banner waving” of Dai Jun.

Then after his dodge, Dai Jun had delivered a fist that had exploded with his intention.

Such a sudden act of skill was completely amazing and was enough to display Dai Jun’s ample experience of battle.

But he was still in the end, attacked by Wang Chao. At the look of things, his movements were getting erratic and his body actions uneven as if he was thrown into disorder.

If his opponent was any lesser person, then they would have tried to dodge after such a fierce blow. In that case, he would be able to take a breather and regain his energy to recover completely.

But was Wang Chao such a person to do so? His eyes were sharp and had naturally made sure not to allow Dai Jun to recover.

Against this fist of Dai Jun that carried his intent, Wang Chao didn’t bother to dodge and instead trode forward. With a Chopping Fist, he clashed with it straight on.

Pa! Another sound of muscle hitting muscle could be heard as Wang Chao’s knuckles began to crackle with sound.

Wang Chao’s chopping Claw had already reached the state of perfection as well as his transition from the tiger to eagle stance.

As a man continues to attack, their strength continues to climb. As a man continues to defend, their energy continues to become more chaotic. This was the rule of relativity.

When Dai Jun struck out, he could already tell that his fist was no match for Wang Chao’s claw.

“His tiger stance and eagle claw has already reached a level of perfection. How terrifying, a single bite and he has already devoured the heavens.” Knowing that he couldn’t endure the fist, he quickly brought it back, thus losing a chance to strike once more.

Wang Chao’s eagle claw had forced Dai Jun to retreat, weakening his position even more!

This time, Wang Chao’s strength was fully revealed. He was like a fierce tiger and brave eagle hunting their prey with power so strong that it overlooked everything and anything.

In these two exchanges, Dai Jun had been like a small sheep in front of a wolf. He continued to fall back and bring up a hasty defense as his left and right hand moved frantically. It was fortunate that they were fighting on the beach instead of the stage. If they were on the stage, then he would have lost room to back up on a long time ago and would be killed.

In a battle of experts, when one revealed his weak point, then the other side would immediately land a barrage of blows on him. There was simply no time to dilly dally, only time to give and receive.

Even despite the wide and open space for Dai Jun to fall back on, he wouldn’t be able to handle this barrage for much longer.

That was because with Wang Chao’s movements, Dai Jun was completely unable to catch his breath. As long as he could have a single moment of rest, he would be able to retaliate.

With Wang Chao’s current Jin, even if he were to go against a heavyweight black boxer, that boxer would end up with fractured arms.

“This person is far too fierce! His martial arts is superb, his moves exquisite, but, I cannot accept this. I will not accept this! Ha!” Just at that moment, Liao Junhua had already pulled out his legs from the sand.

As he leapt out, Liao Junhua turned around to look at the fight only to be astonished at the sight.

His senior disciple Dai Jun was somehow being pushed back by Wang Chao. He was only capable of defending and nothing else. With another 10 seconds, there would inevitably a defeat, or even a death for Dai Jun.

He had no idea when Dai Jun had joined the fight when he was only supposed to act as a support. In Liao Junhua’s mind, even with Wang Chao being a little bit stronger, there wasn’t any doubt that he would win. But despite his plans, the heavens had spoken otherwise. The outcome of a match wasn’t something man was supposed to dictate,

Liao Junhua knew that in this battle, he had lost in every sense of the word.

Furthermore, even with two people, they had been subjugated by him. If news of this were to get out, then the martial world would laugh their heads off at them.

Even their master Zhu Hongzhi wouldn’t bear have them two.

“It is unfortunate this is a private match and is not public! However, even if this was a competition with a different setting, I would still be at a loss.”

Liao Junhua was unwilling to accept a loss, but when he saw the peril Dai Jun was in, he didn’t give it anymore thought and immediately brought his mind back into focus. In the next second, he sprung forward to bring demise to Wang Chao.

Wang Chao unfolded both arms, one was a chopping hand the other was a claw. At the same time, the tiger’s roar and the eagle’s screech could be heard, shaking the heavens and stirring the waves with it. On the other side, Dai Jun’s face was extremely red as his veins began to bulge out and his breath grew labored.

“In another two exchanges, I will definitely be able to kill him! But should I do it?” Wang Chao began to feel some misgivings.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew from his left side, notifying him that Liao Junhua was attacking.

Hou! Without hesitation, he stepped forward and brought a single claw hand towards Dai Jun’s abdomen with all his strength.

This break out of Jin had been enough for Wang Chao’s soles to affect the surrounding sand so that it was as if he had stamped it until it had caved in.

Wang Chao’s sleeves fluttered as the skin on his hands grew taut with a metallic swelling. His pores were like needles as it pointed upwards. His knuckles cracked with lightning as if there was a snake from within his bones twisting around.

Dai Jun had been completely spent and so he had no way to defend himself against Wang Chao’s blow.

As he submitted himself to his fate and leapt backwards powerlessly, Dai Jun sucked in a deep breath and relaxed his body to rest.

In a battle, relaxing one’s body was fatal and was more than enough to kill a person ten times overs. But Dai Jun had thrown caution to the wind; if he was a broken jar before, he was now completely shattered.

“If I laxen my body, I die. If I don’t laxen my body, I die. I may as well die in comfort then.” In that instant, Dai Jun didn’t know what to think.

Wang Chao’s figure flickered as he flew forward. In the next moment, he flew forward due to the power of his leg with his shoulder slanted forward. Next, it extended an inch and touched upon the underbelly of Dai Jun.

His five fingers had already touched the cloth of Dai Jun and arrived at the skin.

The Hidden Jin instantly broke out with a soft touch to it.

The Clear Jin in this claw was already at its strongest, so only the Hidden Jin would be able to continue to break out.

When Wang Chao’s fingers brushed against Dai Jun’s skin, Dai Jun had immediately felt a stinging sensation that did not bode well.

With a puffing sound, Dai Jun dropped to the ground with both hands clutching at his underbelly without response. He was like a puppet with his strings cut.

At the same time, Wang Chao fell to the ground as well.

Pa! His hand continued to break out with Hidden Jin as it swung backwards like the movement of a horse’s tail and blocked Liao Junhua’s attack at his back.

Borrowing his forward momentum from before, Wang Chao leapt to the side before turning around 5 meters away. Assuming a fighting stance, he spoke, “Do you truly wish to attack me two on one?”

After taking care of Dai Jun, Wang Chao wasn’t afraid anymore. At last, he had a chance to speak.

Wang Chao had coincidentally touched upon an acupuncture point with his Hidden Jin. With that point pressed, Dai Jun had no longer the ability to fight.

Wang Chao’s eagle claw Hidden Jin had been very shallow. And so because of that, it did not fully pierce through into Dai Jun’s intestines.

However the Hidden Jin had already affected one of the acupuncture points to Dai Jun’s nervous system.

“We had no idea of attacking you at the same time, you misunderstand!” Liao Junhua immediately stopped when he saw Wang Chao stop as well. “It was just meant to be a friendly competition, not a life or death match. But because preventive measures, I could only ask upon my senior disciple to come help. No matter which side was in danger, he would be able to come in at anytime, but I never would have expected to see such a brilliant display of martial arts from you…today is a defeat that I will take…”

“I was afraid that your senior disciple would fight me as well so I had went all out. A match is in the end a ferocious one where no one could control the outcomes.” When Wang Chao saw how straightforward Liao Junhua was, he didn’t move to attack.

A competition was honestly quite dangerous and uncontrollable. After four years of martial arts, Wang Chao had came to realize that when Chen Wuyang kidnapped Cao Jingjing and fought Cao Yi.

Chen Wuyang had originally intended on using a hundred thousand RMB to buy Cao Yi’s services. But because of their nature, the two sides had fought with total annihilation being the result for the Chenshi side.

“Senior Dai, how are you feeling? Ah, your acupuncture point was hit with Hidden Jin!”

Liao Junhua had instantly gone silent when he saw Dai Jun holding his underbelly.

“What a…an amazing…skill….” Dai Jun began to speak with gritted teeth as sweat dripped down his forehead. With each word he spoke, he looked as if he was enduring a tremendous amount of pain.

When Hidden Jin struck an acupuncture point, the person would not move. It was not because he was rendered incapable of doing so, but because in doing so, he would experience a tremendous amount of pain.

It was like twisting the ankle. It was still possible to walk with one, but there would be an excruciating amount of pain from doing so.

The underbelly was linked with the ability to breathe and was connected to the nervous system in many ways. When Wang Chao used his Hidden Jin to strike it, Dai Jun hadn’t spoken a word and remained motionless. Each word he would make would cause a large amount of pain.

Using Hidden Jin to strike the points required chance and precision to feed the soft Hidden Jin into it. With these two conditions, then it would be able to bypass the pores.

Two experts within a match would fight ferociously like the eagle and the hare. Each exchange was fierce but brief. There hadn’t been enough time for either person to stop the fight and so the Hidden Jin had been able to easily strike at the enemy’s inner organs.

But when the Hidden Jin hits the acupuncture points, all it requires is a single touch and the Hidden Jin would be able to affect the nervous system and inflict pain.

Only the highest leveled practitioners would be able to accomplish such a trick.

“Even I don’t know which point I hit. But if it hasn’t injured the inner organs, then there is still a chance to save him.” Wang Chao didn’t wish to resolve matters with Liao Junhua that quickly.

He had only hit the point by chance and not deliberately during the course of battle. But when he came across the point, he had naturally broke out with Hidden Jin.

In a match, breaking out with Hidden Jin was not easy, but when there was a point to hit, what better time was there?

Wang Chao hadn’t studied up on the meridian channels and acupuncture points at all since that was an intensive study. Even if one dedicated their entire life to it, they would never reach perfection with it, so that area of study was reserved to the doctors.

A practitioner had to keep his mind on the grand with simplicity and nimbleness! Wherever the Jin went was wherever the person would go.

If Wang Chao’s martial arts were to reach the Transforming Jin, he would have to understand the complexity of the meridian channels and acupoints. Right now, he hadn’t even attained the spirit and form of all 12 stances. If he were to chase after anything else right now, he would be neglecting the fundamentals which would not bring about improvement.

“Master Wang, do you have any time today? Your skill is quite amazing, leaving the both of us disciples with an understanding of your strength.” Liao Junhua spoke to Wang Chao honestly, “I come today not as an executive of an enterprise, but as a martial artist who follows the same path of ideals. I wish to invite you to my home as a guest. With my senior disciple’s acupoint pressed, he is in a thorny situation. Let us both study to see what method could be used to treat him? Otherwise, I can only send him to see my master in the United States.”

Wang Chao thought for a moment before nodding his head, “Fine!”
