Chapter 48: Xingyiquan and Taijiquan

  Chu Ping knew that among the four major families, the Wang family was at the bottom, and in the Tianhai City's territory, they also had the smallest area. Taking this opportunity to redivide their power wasn't unusual either.

  Yuwen Ling's face lit up with a bright smile, "Brother Wang is right, let's seize this opportunity to have a rematch and determine our true strength once and for all!"

  The Yuwen family and the Wang family are on the same side, while the Dongfang family and the Lin family have formed an alliance through marriage, and they are also well-known to be at odds with each other!

  Lin, the master of the Lin family, wore a cyan long shirt, with a slight mustache under his chin, looking slender and elegant, exuding a refined and scholarly aura, not at all like a wealthy merchant. The master of the Lin family, whose power shook the heavens and seas, said, "Since Brother Yuwen and Brother Wang are interested, we will naturally accompany them to the death!"

  Zhou Hua listened to a few people talking on the side, suddenly laughed loudly and stood up, "Since that's the case, I think it's not bad for each family to send two people, and the next sequence will be decided by drawing lots. The division of strength, half depends on strength, half depends on heaven's will, what do you think?"

  Dongfang Wenhao burst out laughing, "Alright, then it's settled!"

  Four big families, with similar financial resources, and the newly risen Zhou Hua, also have a strong foundation. It's difficult to compare among these ancient families, so they often decide their superiority through the warriors cultivated within their own family.

  This is like military competition between countries, but in the eyes of these families, digging up their own strength and comparing martial arts skills are more acceptable.

  Bullets are, after all, external objects. When martial arts reach a certain level, one can dodge bullets. Ammunition is limited, but human power is limitless. With quick reflexes, one can move stealthily at night and assassinate, or confront the enemy head-on; its uses are vast and immeasurable!

  After all, the confrontation between people still needs to be returned to oneself!

  "Alright, I'll trouble you for today!" Dongfang Wenhua said in a low voice beside Chu Ping's ear.

  "Don't panic!" Chu Ping waved his hand slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Sun Boji.

  Sun Boji, wearing a black coarse linen long shirt, has been silent and unresponsive since entering the hall, as if he were detached from the world and had nothing to do with himself. Until now, he remains still and meditative, showing no intention of getting up!

  Chu Ping saw two people standing up beside Zhou Hua's body and walking towards the field.

  "Could it be that Sun Boji won't make a move, then there's much to say!" Chu Ping thought deeply and quietly conveyed his thoughts to Dongfang Wenhui.

  Dongfang Wenhui's face was slightly stunned, but he was also a bold person. He immediately selected one from the black-clad attendants by his side, and another one, surprisingly, was Dongfang Yunming!

  "Hmm, this Dongfang Yunming is indeed a robust and handsome young man with a clear and refined appearance. He's also an expert, far surpassing many bodyguards and attendants!" Chu Ping thought to himself as he saw Dongfang Yunming walk with steps as light as clouds, his figure swaying like the wind, yet his feet seemed to be stuck to the ground with strong glue, making it almost impossible to see him leave the ground for even a moment.

  Yuwen family, Wang family, Lin family each walked out two people, all dressed in a strong attire, amidst the central steel wire mesh, their faces were as calm as an ancient well, extremely serene.

  "These warriors may not be strong in terms of martial arts, but their mental state and cultivation are by no means low, and they are in no way inferior to many cultivators." Chu Ping couldn't help but secretly admire them.

  He didn't know that these martial artists from various families, after years of tempering, had grown accustomed to life and death, and their mental state was naturally very high. Those who cultivated the Tao, on the other hand, were mostly in seclusion, practicing austerities, although they were talented and enlightened, but after all, they had not experienced the turmoil of the mundane world, and did not know the sorrow of parting from life and death, relying solely on the subtle transformation of the "Tao", which didn't necessarily make them much wiser.

  There's a saying: because of experience, I understand!

  Dongfang Yunming wore a black tight-fitting outfit inside, and outside he had on a loose long gown with large sleeves that fluttered as he moved, giving off the air of an ancient heroic swordsman. He smiled slightly and said, "Please!"

  Elegant demeanor, calm and composed, fully displaying the style of a young master from a noble family!

  Lin Tingfeng's right leg slightly bent, his arms crossed, and his right hand suddenly thrust out. The air in the field instantly emitted a sharp whistling sound, like a tiger roaring in the mountains. A vast and powerful energy burst forth, filling the entire field, and astonishingly, a visible ripple appeared in mid-air!

  "Haha, Xingyiquan!" Dongfang Yunming was stirred up by Lin Tingfeng's fist power, his large sleeves fluttering, his palms hidden in his sleeves, forming a circular shape, and welcoming the attack!

  "Xingyiquan!" Chu Ping secretly cursed in his heart, he also knew that Xingyiquan was a widely spread boxing technique, one of the three major internal family boxing techniques, and even now, there were many practitioners.

  Chu Ping had always disliked close-range combat martial arts, but today seeing Lin Tingfeng's Xingyiquan set being executed with a stern and powerful presence, majestic and grand, he couldn't help but feel envious!

  Lin Tingfeng uses Xingyiquan, while Dongfang Yunming uses a more common Tai Chi!

  The two men clashed, swift as lightning, and in an instant they had exchanged several dozen blows!

  These long-standing boxing techniques, Chu Ping had never practiced before, only heard of these famous names! But now that he has joined the ranks of the strong, and is one of the younger generation of powerful cultivators who have completed the Golden Elixir realm, he can roughly see the spirit of the two men's boxing routes!

  Xingyiquan is not as mysterious and unpredictable as rumored, but rather simple and neat, with a grand and majestic atmosphere, emphasizing short-range combat and quick capture!

  While Dongfang Yunming's Tai Chi Fist is calm and comfortable, light and lively, still waiting for movement, using roundness to break through straightness, like clouds flowing like water, continuous and uninterrupted, taking a widely spread fist method, forcefully breaking out the true meaning, under Lin Tingfeng's fierce and violent attack like thunderclap and lightning flash, he strolls leisurely, his manner calm and composed, not falling behind in the slightest!

  "Brother Wenju, Yunming's kid has mastered a set of Tai Chi fist, it's truly divine and he has grasped the essence of the endless Tai Chi circle! It's really something to be congratulated!" Lin Zike gently lifted his teacup, looking relaxed and smiling as he spoke to Dongfang Wenju.

  Dongfang Wenhao couldn't help but smile, "This kid isn't bad either, his Xingyiquan is quite impressive, with a strong and swift punch, much better than we were back in the day!"

  "Xingyiquan's swift and direct attack is like a thunderbolt, but if you can't knock down your opponent with dozens of moves, Lin Tingfeng should change his fist technique!" A young man standing behind Yuwen Lingfeng said coldly.

  Chu Ping was startled and felt a chill in her heart. This person's words had an eerie power that stirred up her own spirit, making it somewhat unstable!

  His gaze swept over this person, seeing his face was cold and indifferent, with a breath that seemed to exist and yet not exist, surprisingly also a cultivator of the True Spirit.

  "Only concerned with Sun Boji, hiding his breath, he didn't even survey the entire scene. Who would have thought there was still a cultivator of the True Path?" Chu Ping's heart tightened slightly, but he didn't show any panic!

  As expected, after a brief exchange of eleven moves, Lin Tingfeng didn't break through Dongfang Yunming's Taiji Fist power. Instead, he let out two loud punches, slightly forcing his opponent back. His entire body's aura changed, and his figure leaned forward slightly. In an instant, a fierce and wild aura burst forth like a raging fire sweeping across the plains!

  "Lin Family's Scarlet Flame Technique!"

  Wang Zezhong smiled slightly and praised him in a calm and unhurried tone!
