Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 153 - 134: A single flower does not make spring, a garden full of flowers brings spring in full bloom!

Chapter 153: Chapter 134: A single flower does not make spring, a garden full of flowers brings spring in full bloom!

From November to December, in just over a month, the few things Yan Chuan did spread like wildfire, making people feel as if it were a dream. Many wanted to witness firsthand what kind of person the ’Shadowless Kick’ and the ’Golden Touch Hand’ truly were.

Thus.

December 12th, Suanzao Mountain, a gathering of heroes.

...

"What a magnificent Suanzao Mountain."

’Huayu’ Duan Jiu, ’Flying Fox’ Zhou Bin, and ’Northern Donkey’ Guan Yang came together. As they crossed the ridge and passed the water gorge, they saw nine peaks with winding waters, the mountains stretched out, and thirteen mysterious caves. Walking past the plank path, they unexpectedly found two ponds, White Cloud Pond and Miao Yin Pond, appearing below.

Duan Jiu couldn’t help but be inspired, "The mountains conceal twin green snails, clear as crystal riding thin waves. Its tranquility without flood or drought, a white crane’s shadow shuttles back and forth."

"Brother Duan!"

"Great poem!"

Zhou Bin and Guan Yang applauded enthusiastically.

"Nine peaks stand lofty in the valley mountain, clouds and fog rolling, caves hide within."

"Great mountain!"

"Great cave!"

"Great water!"

Duan Jiu pointed to a mountain peak that looked like a bull’s nose, introducing to the two, "That’s ’Green Bull Peak,’ the Sheyang Sect of Liyang is up there."

He then pointed to a mountain peak resembling a wine cup, the morning sun shining down, looking like a golden cup, "That’s ’Golden Cup Peak,’ where Taikang Taihe Palace is seated atop."

"A paradise like a fairy land, commoners wish to come." He sighed.

"Suanzao Mountain, truly a treasure land!"

Duan Jiu marveled.

He swept his gaze over—

Green Bull Peak, Golden Cup Peak, Haozhu Ridge, Dutong Village, Dragon Tiger Peak, Miao Yin Peak, White Rock Peak, Golden Summit, Cloud Platform.

"These nine peaks!"

"Which peak does Yan Chuan aim to occupy?"

...

"Dragon Tiger Peak!"

"Left with Golden Summit, right with Cloud Platform, this is a good place!"

"I remember this place being occupied by the ’Iron Palm Alliance,’ where does that leave them if Yan Chuan wants to establish his sect here?"

Wang Kuan and Jian Rong also arrived at Suanzao Mountain, climbing high, taking in the full view of the nine peaks and thirteen caves. Their eyes fell on the central ’Dragon Tiger Peak,’ seeing this peak majestic as a dragon and fierce as a tiger, indeed a fine mountain. But the Iron Palm Alliance had long occupied this place, with its hierarch Xu Shi, famously called ’Iron Hand Flying Sand.’ He wielded iron palms few could match, a renowned hero across the Three Counties.

Xu Shi’s own strength was one factor.

Another was that under his command were eighteen village fortresses, or rather, eighteen bandit villages, with hundreds of robust practitioners under him.

When they all advance.

Without reaching the limit-breaking level, who could stop them?

"Among the small sects and factions of Suanzao Mountain, the ’Iron Palm Alliance’ is the strongest. Is Yan Chuan aiming for a swift and decisive victory to establish his might?"

However, to challenge the Iron Palm Alliance, even top limit-breaking level experts would find it tough!

Alone!

Incredibly difficult to accomplish!

Jian Rong blinked, her keen eyes suddenly spotting, "Look! Lots of people!"

Wang Kuan also saw, in the distance among the mountains, a crowd gathered around one person, none other than Yan Chuan. And at the tip of Yan Chuan’s spear, he had skewered a man through the heart, dead as could be.

This man!

Was precisely the hierarch of the Iron Palm Alliance—

Iron Hand Flying Sand!

Xu Shi!

...

"Professor Yan!"

"Indeed, commands like a deity!"

Huo Zhen led the Four Talents of his faction to Dragon Tiger Peak, witnessing the Iron Palm Alliance’s post on the mountain ravaged—

The disciple bandits lay scattered on the ground, groaning everywhere, being tied up hand and foot with hemp rope by the disciples of the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall.

Corpses, too, were being carried out, laid outside on the rocks, the stench of blood intense.

Among them was the corpse of the Iron Palm Alliance hierarch, Xu Shi.

Iron Palm Alliance!

Swept away entirely!

Looking at Yan Chuan’s side, he led his group without a scratch, except for himself who bore bloodstains, everyone else was unscathed and well!

To lead a group to capture the Iron Palm Alliance without an injury, this truly called for the phrase ’commands like a deity.’

But Huo Zhen had misunderstood.

"Sect Leader Huo is mistaken."

Jin Yutang explained at the side: "All these people were subdued by Master alone, we only came up for cleanup afterward."

"One person?"

Huo Zhen looked at Yan Chuan, seeing him bathed in blood, clearly after a fierce battle, then looked at Jin Yutang and others, indeed showing no signs of fighting.

Huo Zhen was shocked.

Then.

He realized: "Indeed! Given Professor Yan’s mastery of boxing, even without reaching the limit-breaking level, unless faced with limit breakers, against these ordinary practitioners, including masters like Xu Shi, he can easily handle multiple foes alone!"

The words—

Some were puzzled.

Some understood.

Wei Quan was puzzled: "Why?"

Su Ye understood: "Professor Yan’s mastery of boxing is so advanced; for one, his moves are spontaneous, often yielding the greatest outcome with the least effort. Another, he has a stronger control over his body, able to distribute physical strength and inner strength rationally. He can even maintain peak condition by letting muscles rest in turn during battles. His boxing enters into the divine realm, making prolonged fights of three to five hours not a problem when besieged!"

This was the stuff of legends!

Such legends were rarely heard even in Great Yan.

Su Ye had only heard of such prowess in the Mountain and Sea Realm, knowing that such people are rarer than limit breakers!

Yan Chuan had not yet broken limits yet could alone topple the Iron Palm Alliance, continuously fighting for four hours, indicating his boxing mastery had reached an unfathomable level.

...

"Incredible!"

Duan Jiu, Zhou Bin, and Guan Yang arrived and, upon learning this, felt it unbelievable. They were all recognized figures in the Jianghu, yet against Yan Chuan, they had no chance, even against Xu Shi alone they’d find it hard.

But Yan Chuan.

Really did it alone!

"Fighting hundreds with one!"

"Master Yan is fierce!"

Duan Jiu gave Yan Chuan a thumbs up. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Zhou Bin and Guan Yang recalled meeting Yan Chuan at the Martial Arts Competition, and today, they saw that Yan Chuan’s aura had grown, with a killing intent that lingered indefinitely, making him fearsome.

"You flatter me,"

Yan Chuan smiled and greeted everyone as he spread his arms. Wei Quan stepped forward and took away the Red Tassel Spear, Yu Jinpeng took the Sky Shattering Bow, Jin Yutang removed the Qiankun Rings from Yan Chuan’s wrists, and Che Qi came last, helping Yan Chuan remove the now-empty Arrow Quiver from his back.

Yan Chuan, unburdened, led Huo Zhen, Duan Jiu, and the others into the council hall of the Iron Palm Alliance—

The top three grand chairs.

Below were eighteen seats.

Representing the three hierarchs of the Iron Palm Alliance, and the eighteen influential figures of the eighteen villages.

At this moment.

All empty!

Yan Chuan did not sit at the top but instead, called everyone to sit on the eighteen chairs below. He’d fought all night, from the foot of Dragon Tiger Peak to the top, then into the caves without blinking.

Killed to his heart’s content!

At this point, full of spirit, Yan Chuan loudly addressed Duan Jiu, Zhou Bin, and Guan Yang: "You three are seasoned experts of Guangling County, only because of a desire for freedom, unwilling to join the academies or submit to the court have you been surpassed by new martial artists. Today, here at Suanzao Mountain on Dragon Tiger Peak, I’m establishing the ’Hundred Flower Palace’ with the Hundred Schools Boxing, not to recruit masses of disciples, nor for eternal succession, but to bring about a flourishing Jianghu Martial Arts World once again. If you three wouldn’t mind, why not join the Hundred Flower Palace, free from constraints daily, discussing martial arts in spare time. The ’Hundred Flower Palace’ serves as a platform for independent Jianghu artists to exchange. Surpassing limits is the current small goal; ascending the peak of martial arts is my true aspiration!"

A single flower is not spring!

A hundred flowers blossom into a full garden in spring!

This is the ’Hundred Flower Palace’ Yan Chuan aims to create—

Not asking for origins!

Not asking for background!

As long as one is keen on developing on the martial path, they can come, and Yan Chuan will teach.

Ordinary people can come.

Famous martial masters, even more welcome.

...

"Hero Duan practices ’Dharma Door Fist,’ which decades ago was innovated by the ’Guangling Three Dragons.’ It combines ’Character Gate Fist’ and other boxing styles with personal characteristics, finally achieving great success—"

"Guo Zilong’s counter-dive, has the extraordinary skill of ’none dare approach, approach and fall’; Zhu Zilong’s stubbornness, comes with the divine effect of ’let him advance, one advance breaks bones and loosens muscle’; Deng Jinlong’s point insertion, has the clever force of ’contact and release, exhaling pierces the gut.’"

"Dharma Door Fist!"

"Pocket Eighteen Skills!"

"Emphasizing ’counter-dive,’ ’stubbornness,’ and ’point insertion.’"

"Stepping technique should be varied, footwork an arc, fist striking in four directions, moves connected seamlessly!"

"Hero Duan, exert strength! Exert strength! Focus on Inch Force, Shaking Force, Soft Force, Chen Energy!"

When Wang Kuan and Jian Rong reached the mountain, they saw Yan Chuan was actually sparring with Duan Jiu, Zhou Bin, and Guan Yang.

Yan Chuan was still the same, sparring while pointing and instructing.

Not just Duan Jiu.

Also, Zhou Bin and Guan Yang were attended to by Yan Chuan—

"Hero Zhou, ’East Peace Fist’ emphasizes combining Qi, Spirit, Power, aiming to achieve unity of Qi and Power. Slow should be steady and powerful, fast precise and clear, muscles constricted when hard, relaxed when soft; fast and slow alternating, combining soft and hard; firm within soft, soft storing firm; strikes must be accurate, elbow techniques fast and powerful; stepping technique stable, flexible."

"Interior and exterior combined, quick mixed with slow!"

"This is the essence of East Peace Fist, as well as the essence of ’Flying Fox Saber!’ Hero Zhou, raise your hand and punch! Come on! Come hit me!"

...

"Hero Guan!"

"’Seven Forms Fist’ isn’t used like that!"

"This boxing style used to be known as ’Guangling’s most ruthless fist,’ the key lies in ’ruthless,’ without ruthlessness, there’s no fist!"

"Splitting Stance, Wiping Hand, Dry Boat Formation, Rattle Formation, Beast Head Formation, Night Plow Formation, Flower Planting Stance!"

"The aura must be ruthless!"

"Ruthless yet must ’Illuminate Three Sections, Align Four Ends, Close Five Gates, Observe Six Directions, Listen in All Directions.’"

"Hateful Earth Without Rings!"

"Egg Ring Waist!"

"Hang Kick!"

"Yes, yes! Rattle into sudden Night Plow! Exactly like that! Don’t hold back! You can’t hurt me!"

...

Wang Kuan listened and couldn’t help but laugh, "Yan Chuan pointing and nudging, shows no mercy in the slightest."

Duan Jiu, Zhou Bin, and Guan Yang were contemporaries of Cheng Fengxiao, renowned figures of the past generation, yet Yan Chuan gave no heed as he assaulted and pointed—

"Hero Duan, exert strength, eh!"

"Hero Zhou, come at me!"

"Hero Guan, Seven Forms Fist isn’t like that, ’You can’t hurt me!’"

Utterly unreserved!

Craziest as can be!

This kind of frankness, treating them like grandsons, few can endure.

Like this——

"Guan Yang is losing his temper."
