Chapter 45: The Five Thunder Law (Part 1)

  In the presidential suite where Liu Lao San is currently located, there are a total of five people. In addition to Liu Lao San and Zhang Lao Dao, there are three bodyguards wearing black suits standing in different corners, far apart from each other. It would be very difficult for Wang Chan to take them all down at once.

  Outside the door, Wang Chan eavesdropped on the conversation inside for a while. After a moment's thought, Liu Lao San also sensed something unusual outside and called out a bodyguard to investigate, giving Wang Chan his chance.

  He stretched out his hand and pushed forward, walking into the door with a swagger, Wang Chan seemed to have returned home, just after a brief encounter with the bodyguard. In an instant, Wang Chan suddenly moved, his back arched like a mighty tiger in the mountains, lazily basking in the sun, suddenly stretching his waist and pouncing forward, his feet opening and closing like a bow shooting arrows, one hand forming a claw, two fists and one elbow, striking the head and chest of this lean bodyguard.

  "Fierce Tiger Descends the Mountain" is the most pure killing technique in Bajiquan.

  Crack! Crack! Crack! Three cracking sounds rang out almost simultaneously, and Liu Lao San's personal bodyguard didn't even have time to dodge. In an instant, his skull was cracked open, his chest bone shattered, and his internal organs were severely damaged.

  In the blink of an eye, the bodyguard who was blocking Wang Chan's way was beaten to fly over a meter high, with his limbs stretched out and flying backwards. At the same time, Wang Chan also shrank his neck and hid his head, with his four limbs curled up into a ball, and his five-foot-tall body suddenly shrunk to about two feet tall. The big living person actually hid behind the corpse of the bodyguard who had just died, and jumped along with him in mid-air.

  Wang Chan's move, also known as "Monkey Crouching", involves shrugging shoulders, tucking in the neck, rounding the back, and bending elbows and knees. It is a monkey-like pose from the White Ape's Through-the-Arms and Great Sage's Splitting- Apart-the-Heavenly-Gate techniques. When executed, the entire body curls up into a ball, with one hand hanging down behind the buttocks like a monkey's tail. Suddenly coiling up and jumping out, it can dodge behind the opponent's back, spinning around rapidly, making it impossible for others to see or find.

  It is said that during the Republic of China, Xue Di, a master of Xingyiquan, would often practice his skills in the form of a monkey. His movements were so unpredictable and fast that they became unbelievable, his body techniques so swift that they left no shape or shadow, able to make people disappear in an instant. When engaging with others, he would flash by their faces, making it impossible for them to keep track of him, though they could see him out of the corner of their eye, they couldn't determine his angle.

  The last time Zhou Lin was kidnapped, Wang Chan used this trick when dealing with Sun Changfeng who had a gun. He also used someone else's body to cover himself in order to quickly approach the enemy.

  The bodyguard was knocked into the air by Wang Chan and hid behind a corpse, facing several people who couldn't see Wang Chan's shadow. However, as soon as something unexpected happened in the house, everyone inside immediately knew that someone with ill intentions had broken in. The remaining two bodyguards suddenly let out a loud shout and rushed towards Liu Lao San from different directions in the room.

  According to the information provided by Lei Xing, the three bodyguards who were close to Liu Lao San were all hired from the Shaolin Martial Arts School on Mount Song with a large sum of money and had not received regular military training. Therefore, they did not carry guns like the two Russian mercenaries outside the door.

  However, it was only now that they realized something was wrong. By the time they tried to stop Liu Lao San, their fate had already been sealed. In just a short period of entering this place, Wang Chan had already killed five people in a row, including one of Lei Xing's superiors. He would never let another person leave this room alive.

  Once the distance is shortened, for someone like Wang Chan, killing people is much easier than killing chickens.

  The body of the bodyguard in front of him fell to the ground with a thud, and Wang Chan's tightly coiled body suddenly sprang open, his limbs bursting out like a bomb. Before he even landed on the ground, his two fists were already swinging left and right, pounding heavily into the chests of the two bodyguards.

  Because their field of vision was already blocked by the corpses of their companions, these two people didn't even have time to react. The massive fist force, like a cannonball, struck them in the chest, directly breaking through skin and bone, shattering their internal organs, and they fell to the ground with a thud, dying instantly.

  From pushing the door open to killing three people in an instant, Wang Chan's movements were as swift as a rabbit, as fierce as the wind. In less than ten seconds, he had killed all three of Liu Lao San's personal bodyguards. His actions were decisive and efficient, his fists like thunderbolts, it was simply a perfect display of martial arts, exhilarating and refreshing.

  Those three Shao Lin martial arts school bodyguards were unable to stop Wang Chan half a step.

  "What the...?!" A sudden change, in an instant, the luxurious presidential suite was filled with corpses and blood everywhere. Liu Lao San saw Wang Chan appear before his eyes like a ghost, killing three of his bodyguards. After the initial shock, he immediately recognized Wang Chan as the "bald-headed" man he had met outside Lei Xing's villa a few days ago with Zhou Lin.

  "Master Zhang, save me! Master Zhang, save me!" As a well-known broker in the provincial capital, Liu Lao San had been straddling both sides of the law for many years and was not some timid mediocrity. He was quite bold and managed to dodge behind Zhang Lao Dao's body in an extremely short amount of time, despite weighing over 200 pounds. He pointed at Wang Chan and shouted loudly.

  "Zhang Da Zhang, this man is together with Zhou Lin, you want to find Zhou Lin, starting from him will definitely be right!"

  "Oh? This donor has a great killing aura, and can kill these three people in this short instant. He continuously changes the eight extremes, Tongbei and Pihuaquan's three-door skills, with a flick of his hand, each move is smooth and connected, without any awkwardness in the connection. The donor is truly majestic, with a strong murderous aura, and excellent skills!"

  This Zhang Lao Dao was obviously not an ordinary person. He was the first to notice the changes outside the door, and he watched Wang Chan kill three people with his eyes wide open, still sitting on the sofa without moving at all. But now that Liu Lao San said this, his old face actually moved, and his expression became slightly agitated.

  A pair of black and white eyes as clear as a child's, kept sizing up Wang Chan in front of him.

  "Are you a Taoist?" Wang Chan suddenly stopped about five or six steps away from Zhang Lao Dao, narrowing his eyes to look at the old Taoist in front of him whose hair had already turned somewhat white, and a long-forgotten sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart for no reason.

  It was as if a wild beast from outside had suddenly invaded the territory of another fierce beast in the mountains, and in Wang Chan's feeling, he had deeply felt the heavy pressure that Zhang Dao brought to himself almost everywhere.

  "My name is Zhang Daocheng, and I am a Taoist priest at Mount Tai's Taiching Palace in Shandong."

  Zhang Lao Dao first introduced himself very politely, and when he saw that Wang Chan didn't respond, he continued to speak as if they were old friends reunited. His low and calm voice naturally revealed a hint of elegance: "What is called martial arts, originated from life and death, using violence to control violence, just like our Taoist pursuit of longevity and immortality. Everyone wants to live forever, with a lifespan equal to that of heaven. However, looking at the past and present, apart from legendary figures, how many people have truly seen someone who can live forever? People all know that martial arts are powerful, but how many have actually witnessed a master like you? It is said that those who are good at defense hide beneath the nine layers of earth, while those who are good at offense move above the nine heavens. Therefore, they can protect themselves and achieve complete victory. You, sir, are still young, yet you have mastered both internal and external skills, with a harmonious heart and nature. Truly, I have only seen one person like you in my life."

  Wang Chan listened to Zhang Lao Dao's enthusiastic speech, his heart growing increasingly perplexed and bewildered. He felt that the aura emanating from this old Taoist was somewhat mysterious, completely unlike the ordinary Taoists in the temple. Moreover, his demeanor was stern and dignified, every word and action had a sense of ritual, and he had surprisingly discerned the several types of fist techniques Wang Chan had used just now.
