Chapter 539 Hardness and Softness
Chang Kuanghai stood there, the wound above his collarbone was gradually healing, and there was not even any blood seeping out, as it was being contained by the internal alienated tissue.
It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and there was no trace left there.
He glanced at the axe that was still embedded in the ground and tried to find a way to retrieve it, because fighting the enemy with bare hands was really disadvantageous. Although the damaged flesh could be repaired quickly, it still took some time, and too many cracks would affect the combat performance.
But he found that although Chen Chuan retreated far away, he was obviously waiting for him to take it. As long as he delayed for a moment, he could find an opportunity to suppress him again.
So after thinking about it, I simply gave up and will look for another opportunity in the next battle.
Chen Chuan made some adjustments on the spot, then raised the Xuejun Sword slightly and stepped forward. The first two steps were relatively slow, but after the third step, his body suddenly sped up and he came straight forward.
He had weapons in his hands, while his opponent was unarmed, so he didn't have to be too cautious about some attacks.
Chang Kuanghai spread his legs forward and backward, squatted slightly, and placed his arms horizontally in front of him, one above and one below. He stared at Chen Chuan through the gap between them, ready to meet the attack.
Seeing the tip of the knife coming straight towards his face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, arched his back, and took the initiative to move forward to meet it. At the same time, he turned his arms outward and stretched his fingers outward, trying to use his body as a chopping board to hold up the long blade, and then grab it with both hands to grab it and take it away.
Before Chen Chuan could execute the move, he swung his long sword horizontally and swung it across the surface of Chang Kuanghai's thick arm, leaving a thin blood mark there. However, Chang Kuanghai remained calm, and the wound healed almost instantly when the sword left his arm.
Chen Chuan stepped to his side at this time, and slashed at his knee with his backhand. The latter bent his knee outward to block the knife.
At this moment, Chen Chuan leaned forward, as if he wanted to go around behind him, but after Chang Kuanghai's center of gravity swayed with this movement, he suddenly took a step back, and at the same time, he sank his back, and pulled the long sword downward with both hands, and a cold light directly cut off Chang Kuanghai's ankle.
Chang Kuanghai's expression hardened, and he immediately channeled his strength downwards, firmly planted his legs, and prepared to withstand the blow. His entire body was solid, and the blade wouldn't sever his legs, but the force from the blade was enough to knock him off balance.
However, when the knife was about to fall, there was a flash of light, and the knife actually rose up, slashing his lower abdomen. He immediately pressed down with his hand to block the knife, but at this time Chen Chuan suddenly moved forward and was at his side in an instant. He swept the blade along and cut a bloody wound on the other side of his knee.
In these attacks, he fully utilized the advantages of Xue Jun Dao's long sword and his own speed, so he was successful many times. Moreover, with the long sword in his hand, the opponent's fists and feet could not reach him at all, and he could not form an effective counterattack against him. This created a situation where he was the only one attacking and the opponent could only passively endure.
Chang Kuanghai was very calm at this moment. This little injury was nothing to him, especially since those who were good at horizontal training were always known for their fighting resilience. So even if the fight lasted for several days and nights, he could hold on without changing his expression.
But the problem is that he came here to seek a breakthrough in spiritual power, to perfect himself and reach a higher level.
The Tianshu Fist he practiced was a style of boxing that placed great emphasis on aggressiveness and required the sublimation of the spirit to be stimulated during battle. The firmer the fighting will and the more intense the battle scene, the higher the spirit would be.
Now if he just stays there and gets beaten, his spirit will not match the style of boxing, and he will not be able to gain any benefit from the opened Heavenly Gate.
So he had to find a way to change the situation.
After receiving several consecutive blows from Chen Chuan, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and one could seem to hear the beating of his heart like a drum.
It seemed that he had become a little thinner. At this moment, the knife flashed again. He raised his elbow to meet it, and with a clang, he blocked the knife and placed it in front of him like a bull's horn. At this moment, his upper body remained motionless, but under his feet he exerted force in an extremely subtle way, and he jumped out with a bang.
This short burst of power is the unique skill of Tianshu Fist, called Elephant Bull Head. If a person is trapped in a military formation, surrounded by layers of spears and shields, with no room to move left or right, then this burst of power can instantly break up the military formation and break out of the encirclement.
And at this moment, his speed and strength will be doubled!
Seeing that he was almost in front of him, Chen Chuan had no way to avoid him, so he stepped on the ground with his back foot, leaned forward, stretched out his other hand, and pressed down on the opponent's elbow. Circles of dust and air exploded around the two of them. Although he blocked it, he was still pushed back.
This time he retreated a full seven or eight meters, and the bricks and rocks under his feet flew away, plowing a gully.
After his body paused, Chang Kuanghai exerted strength from his waist and back, and the raised elbow drove his forearm to chop down, and the front fist suddenly smashed forward like an axe.
This was a unique "Shock Hammer" in Tianshu Fist, and he was much taller than Chen Chuan, and the attack was launched from top to bottom, and the latter's entire body was almost covered by it.
It seemed that Chen Chuan had no way to dodge, but his eyes were very calm. When the fist fell, he moved to the side as if unaffected by the impact and avoided it.
Chang Kuanghai didn't expect that he could dodge like this, but he had practiced Tianshuquan to such a level that he could control the strength freely. Seeing this, he immediately stopped his fist and avoided being dragged out in time.
However, he finally paused for a moment, and at this moment, Chen Chuan let go of the Xuejun Knife, and grabbed his arm with both hands from front and back, his fingers sinking deeply into the solid muscles, and exerted a grappling force.
Chang Kuanghai felt something was wrong. After all, he had a horizontally trained physique, and even when the grappling force came, he was not immediately unable to resist. He immediately turned the force and smashed his other hand towards Chen Chuan, trying to force him to let go.
Chen Chuan then raised his elbow, blocking with his shoulder. The collision shook both men, but Chang Kuanghai didn't escape the hold. So he alternated his hands, moving up along the joints of Chang Kuanghai's arm, rapidly approaching his throat, while simultaneously unleashing a continuous burst of force.
Chang Kuanghai felt as if half of his body was numb and weak, and if the throat was locked, there would be no need to fight.
Then he exhaled, and the muscles on his held arm tensed outwards, and a powerful shockwave burst out.
Chen Chuan's fingers were suddenly bounced away, but he did not stop. Taking advantage of Chang Kuanghai's strength, he leaned forward and stuck to his body. At the same time, he slid his hands down and grabbed his waist and hips, intending to throw him down.
From grappling to wrestling, the changes in strength are extremely natural.
Chang Kuanghai's expression changed. If he was grabbed this time, he would not be able to use all his strength, and he would still be at the mercy of others.
At this critical moment, he suddenly took a reverse breath.
At this moment, the body suddenly turned from hard to soft, and the originally strong and tough body seemed to have no bones. The force of the wrestling and hugging that penetrated into it disappeared. At the same time, the breathing turned rapidly, and in an instant it turned from soft to hard again. Between the contraction and the expansion, a strong force vibrated out from the inside of the body.
This is the "Heaven and Earth Pull" in Tianshuquan, which reverses the hardness and softness by reversing the breathing to cope with various different forces.
After Chen Chuan felt his changes, he knew that it would be difficult to succeed if he continued, so he immediately stepped back and grabbed the Xuejun Sword that had not yet fallen to the ground. He retreated to a distance where he could fully swing the sword before stopping.
Chang Kuanghai did not come up to catch up because he needed to adjust himself after several consecutive outbursts.
Chen Chuan looked at his tall body. If Wei Wusheng sought the combination of hardness and softness, then Chang Kuanghai's horizontal training was based on his own practice of hardness and softness to the peak, which could be said to be a combination of hardness and softness.
This person has almost no obvious weaknesses, and his spirit is strong and concentrated. For such a person, it will be useless no matter how you attack him from the outside unless his physical strength and blood are exhausted.
Well, that's all there is to it...
He raised his hand and thrust the Xuejun Knife into the ground.
Chang Kuanghai saw this scene and said in a deep voice: "You don't need it anymore?" He was a little surprised. Chen Chuan had a knife in his hand and was obviously in an advantageous position. He didn't know why he made this choice.
Chen Chuan said: "Because it is no longer necessary."
Just now, he kept cutting the opponent's body with a knife. It seemed that he was just trying to keep the opponent at bay, but in fact, he was trying to lure the opponent into attacking, and then use grappling and wrestling to deal with him.
But now that it doesn't work, there's no need to keep fighting.
Even though the opponent seems to have no flaws, it doesn't mean that there is really no solution.
No matter how strong your horizontal training is, there is a limit to its endurance.
He took a deep breath, and after releasing the restraints of the alienated tissues in his body, he began to use the Furnace Breathing Technique at full power, and wisps of white smoke emerged from his body.
Then he raised his head, and the ends of his hair were blown up by the strong airflow from the other side of the crack. The next moment, his figure standing there became blurred.
Chang Kuanghai suddenly became alert. He lowered his center of gravity, leaned forward, and prepared to defend against the attack.
But when he had only done half of the action, he found that Chen Chuan had already reached the front and jumped into the air. The fist raised in his hand seemed to pause for a moment, and then suddenly smashed down!
At this moment, it seemed as if the air around them exploded!
He reacted quickly, and with the help of his breathing, he pulled the strength from his feet and raised his hands to block.
With a bang, a strong and abundant force came down from above where his arms made contact. He groaned, his nostrils dilated, his face became congested, and his whole body sank downwards. The ground under his feet began to crack and collapse, and his muscles swelled, causing the trouser legs to rip.
However, before he could adjust himself, Chen Chuan, who was in mid-air, threw a second punch. Because this punch was so fast and the aftermath of the previous punch had not yet dissipated, he had no time to dissipate the force. He was unable to withstand the force and knelt down on one leg with a bang.
