The Blade-Wielding Legend-Chapter 1366 - 706: Battle of Grandmasters (Part 3)

Originally not well-known in the pugilistic world, but with a wide acceptance of disciples and a Grandmaster title, it quickly spread.

Li Yan had also sparred with disciples of Wansheng Fist and had considerable understanding of this technique.

Wansheng Fist belongs to Inner Boxing, simple and straightforward, with continuous movements, each move speaking of "Whole Strength."

All techniques are divided into many combined actions, seamlessly connected with a balance of speed and Yin and Yang, usable individually or in combination.

Emphasizing that punches do not strike in vain, hands do not return empty-handed. Continuous moves, seamlessly linked, once one move lands, the next follows inevitably.

Highly focused on practical combat, thus widespread.

Wan Shengying himself undoubtedly reached a higher realm.

One move, Iron Chain Blocking the River, attacked the Central Palace directly, with Fist Gang stirring Sha Qi, seemingly creating a great river out of thin air.

Astral Force and boxing could actually form a complement, merging so beautifully.

For a moment, Li Yan was inspired by the fusion of his own Martial Arts and spells.

Indeed, watching a Grandmaster in action always yields insight.

"Hmph!"

From below, Kong Hui snorted coldly, his form changing strangely, drifting three feet like a burial paperman.

Simultaneously, he continued to chant mantras with his left hand in his sleeve, while his right hand extended like a brush, gently striking as if splashing ink.

His movement technique was astonishingly fast, appearing like teleportation to those watching.

Kong Hui was renowned for his movement technique even when he became a Grandmaster, so it wasn't surprising.

Yet his Martial Arts were exceptionally eerie.

Where his fingers transformed, black mist emanated, accompanied by a harsh whistling noise, as if ink was truly splashed in the air.

Is this the "Spring and Autumn Annals·Historical Pen Piercing Heart Sword"?

Kong Shangzhao understood Kong Hui's foundation and had explained this person's Martial Arts.

The opponent originally excelled in Confucianism Martial Arts, but after demon possession, abandoned Confucianism's Vast Energy, reversing "preserving heavenly principles and eradicating human desire" to "planting human desire and eroding heavenly principles," using Resentment, Separation, and other Eight Bitterness as the foundation, absorbing mortal grievances to create another set of sinister Martial Arts known as "Yinwen Eight Pieces."

The names of the techniques also relate to Confucian classics, such as Ritual Scripture·Funeral Hand, Shangshu·Pan Geng Yin Whip, Spring and Autumn Annals·Historical Pen Piercing Heart Sword... each has peculiar features, applicable to hand techniques, boxing, and finger techniques.

The finger technique being used is likely the Spring and Autumn Annals·Historical Pen Piercing Heart Sword.

Kong Hui's fingers splashed ink-like, Yin Sha grievance between them, like an invisible sharp cone, directly stabbing the crucial points in Wan Shengying's fists.

This move came later but arrived sooner, Wan Shengying felt as if his fist edge collided with millennial ice, his powerful Fist Force was corroded, causing a breach.

"Interesting!"

Wan Shengying seemed intrigued by the unfamiliar Martial Arts, not flustered, even interested.

He smiled calmly, his Fist Force suddenly transformed from firm to gentle.

While shifting to the side, his left fist struck out like a Spirit Snake leaving its hole, with veins bulging on the fist back, the surrounding air solidifying like a heavy hammer, smashing towards Kong Hui's wrist.

The technique named "Spirit Turtle Shaking Armor," Li Yan had seen too.

This method of changing moves embodies the essence of Wansheng Fist's "continuous moves."

Punches do not strike in vain, hands do not return empty-handed, one dismantled move becomes a deadly strike.

Two Astral Banes collided fiercely!

"Bang—Sshh!"

At the collision of fist and palm, the sound of metal clashing exploded!

Wan Shengying's Fist Gang was like the scorching sun, while the grievance qi at Kong Hui's fingertips was like boiling ink, seemingly about to be shattered.

Indeed...

Li Yan, upon seeing this, had already speculated.

Even though Kong Hui was once a Grandmaster, after several reincarnations, his physical body was no longer at its peak.

Like a screw and nut, each Divine Soul, in the appropriate physical body, can exert full potential.

Kong Hui's current body, obtained through Body Seizing, was already elderly, so his Power was slightly less than Wan Shengying's.

This battle should not be a problem...

However, something surprising to Li Yan happened.

Kong Hui's fingers suddenly withdrew, the entire arm shook like a whip, ignoring Fist Gang, reversing along the Fist Force.

Furthermore, his eyes were bloodshot.

In an instant, Wan Shengying's view filled with a plethora of illusions:

He saw a failed scholar at the Song Dynasty Examination Hall hitting a pillar, brain matter mixed with ink splattering under the sky.

This is the suffering of unattainable desire...

He saw a new bride kneeling before empty curtains, wedding garments turning into fluttering Paper Money across the sky.

This is the suffering of Separation...

He saw an old Hanlin minister being beaten to death in the court, vermillion markings dyeing white bones.

This is the suffering of Resentment...

All these visions, like the sorrows of the Human World, impacted his spirit.

Wan Shengying's Fist Force momentarily stagnated.

"Roar!" In quick succession, Wan Shengying roared angrily, changing his fist path again.

With an Iron Plate Bridge, he flipped like a Kite, sweeping horizontally with his left leg like a steel whip, executing a Kui Star Kick.

As Kong Hui dodged, Wan Shengying's right palm turned into a Mountain Splitting Axe aimed directly at Heavenly Spirit.

This was the Continuous Three Kills: Slash, Drill, and Burst!

The passing Fist Force stirred an Astra Bane Dragon Roll, the stone mortar beside was shattered into powder by the shockwave!

Yet, Kong Hui seemed to anticipate this.

He treaded the Nine Palace Steps, his form flickering seven times in a single space.

Wan Shengying's continuous killing move seemed to pass through his body, but merely touched shadows.

No good!

Li Yan saw this, thinking it wasn't promising.

This move they saw before, was the Funeral Chariot Step.

Using burial positions to tread Nine Palace Steps, confusing opponents with "Funeral, Soul Summoning, Burial" transformations.

Back then, it could even dodge Firearms, truly terrifying.

With movement technique holding the upper hand, Kong Hui relentlessly pursued, black robe fluttering like funeral flags, simultaneously hooking his left hand's five fingers like hooks, Yin mist grievance condensing as "Ritual" character in eerie script, hovering over Wan Shengying's waist!

"Psshh!"

Wan Shengying's waist clothing shattered instantly, an ink stain quickly spreading into a black spot.

The chilling aura corroded the bones like a venomous snake burrowing into meridians, half of his body feeling paralyzed!

Startled, he tapped his toes lightly, retreating swiftly.

Amid the dust, Kong Hui did not pursue, merely scoffing with a laugh: "Ten Grandmasters?"

"Seems the present cannot compare with the ancients..."
