Fast!
Even Baili Qingfeng did not know how many times he had practiced this simple sword-piercing.
Three hundred thousand times? Four hundred thousand? Or more?
Now, he only used his fist as a sword, but the edge of the sword was unstoppable!
The sword pierced out devastatingly!
“BAM!”
Before Hong Lie’s fist vibe burst out, the power of the piercing fist had already hit his chest and shattered his ribs. The penetrating power spread and crushed his body evenly.
The spreading force, with shocking inertia, smashed Hong Lie’s body and blew him backward at a higher speed. After he hit the ground, he slid for another three meters before the momentum was finally offset.
“You…” His eyes wide open, Hong Lie stared at Baili Qingfeng in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but he vomited blood when he opened mouth. “Puchi!”
The blood dyed the floor red.
Baili Qingfeng went easy on his opponent.
Otherwise, the condensed power of the piercing would’ve ripped apart Hong Lie’s internal organs like a sharp sword and killed him!
“Master Hong?!” Ran Tianying’s expression changed.
“Senior brother!” The two men who came with him hurried towards Hong Lie, appalled.
Their senior brother Hong Lie was one of the most distinguished persons in the younger generation of the Iron Sword Sect. Although he hadn’t reached the spirit-refining level, his body toughness was as good as that of level-three martial fighters. That was why the leader of the Iron Sword Sect sent him to Shire to pave the way to expand the sect in the Xiahai State.
They did not expect that Hong Lie, whom the leader and elders entrusted to expand the territory of the Iron Sword Sect, would be heavily wounded in such a small club…
The martial fighters of the Xiahai State…
Were they all so skilled?
For a moment, they couldn’t help but feel hopeless about the Iron Sword Sect’s prospect in the Xiahai State.
“Let’s go… Now…” Sweating, Hong Lie said as his face paled. He got back on his feet with the help of his junior brothers and left in a hurry.
“Did you see it clearly? That’s the basics I taught you!” Baili Qingfeng moved his fist back calmly. The sharpness in his body dispersed as he relaxed his hand, making others convinced that he was a master.
“Master… I… I did!”
Looking at Hong Lie who couldn’t walk without the support of his junior brothers, Ran Tianchi swallowed hard and stuttered.
“Never underestimate the basics. Depth is better than breadth. If you practice an elementary technique a million times, it will be more powerful than any so-called unparalleled art.” Baili Qingfeng said. “That’s exactly the case for the 108 Moves of the Primordial Thunder God that I taught you. Although the first thirty-six moves are elementary, they will still be extraordinary if you practice as much as I do. No matter how fancy the enemy’s moves are, I can break them with one technique! Do you understand?”
“Yes… I do…” Ran Tianchi nodded heavily. “Master… I… I shouldn’t have questioned you. From today on, I will curb my desires and focus on martial arts.”
Baili Qingfeng nodded.
He had some ideas about the remaining seventy-two moves of the 108 Moves of the Primordial Thunder God, which was to train and stimulate the evolution of the body with ‘electricity’. However, the technique was still unsteady and under testing. By the time he worked it out, the 108 Moves of the Primordial Thunder God would definitely be a state-of-the-art body-training technique.
If Ran Tianchi and his companions had the potential, he wouldn’t mind teaching him, but if they could not endure even a little hardship, it would be unnecessary for them to walk the path of martial arts.
It must be noted that even Baili Ruoxue practiced the Rumbling Thunder Thirty-Six Moves over ten times a day. These people ate better than Baili Ruoxue and were stronger than a female, so they could definitely finish thirty rounds as long as they gritted their teeth.
“Even the tallest house has to be built from the ground. Basics are the foundation for everything. If you learn the basics well, you can pick up any technique. This is a slow approach, but it’s my approach. Do you understand?”
Ran Tianying and his friends fell silent.
They did not care if Baili Qingfeng was correct.
They simply did not expect that Hong Lie would be so…
Unworthy.
No!
Hong Lie was not unworthy, but…
Baili Qingfeng was too strong!
They had witnessed Hong Lie’s formability a while ago.
Hong Lie vanquished the eight professional bodyguards they had hired in less than one minute. He certainly had skills.
However, such an expert could not take a single attack from Baili Qingfeng…
Immediately, Ran Tianying apologized to Baili Qingfeng. “Forgive us, Master Baili. We were deceived by Hong Lie. Also, because Jack was in the hospital, we were anxious and we wronged Master Baili. It’s true that Jack went to the sea with his friends earlier… I’m told that Master Baili needs some of our herbs. I’ll offer them to Master Baili every month as an apology.”
Baili Qingfeng looked at Ran Tianying and nodded.
He had spent most of his money from the Jiang brothers for his studies. Ran Tianying’s offer could save him sixty thousand every month. It was certainly not a small number.
“I’ll entrust our boy to you, Master Baili.”
“That’s unnecessary. Like I said before, a master can teach you the tricks, but training eventually boils down to yourself. I’m only responsible for teaching them my understanding of martial arts. Whether or not they are willing and able to learn, it will be up to themselves.” Baili Qingfeng said calmly.
It was just a deal.
So, Ran Tianying bid him farewell and left with his friends.
Hong Lie did not curse or yell when he left.
Baili Qingfeng was obviously stronger than him, so he had to be a real spirit-refining martial fighter. It was possible that he had truly developed fist vibe. No older than twenty with such accomplishments…
Such an opponent could be the mayor’s honorable guest. Even the Iron Sword Sect would rather not piss him off.
After they left, the club fell silent again.
The only difference was that the staff in the club now looked at Baili Qingfeng in an obviously different way.
Earlier, they only respected him as an employee of the club; but now, they looked at him with sincere reverence.
The reverence of the weak towards the strong.
“That Hong Lie… was quite something. If I met him two months ago, I would have to use divinity revelation or Demonic Dissolution to defeat him, but right now…”
Seated in his own training room, Baili Qingfeng pierced the sword again and again.
He practiced no sword art.
Not even the Rumbling Thunder Sixteen Sword Moves of the Baili family.
However, as he pierced, slashed, raised, knocked and blocked the sword repeatedly, the elementary sword moves looked completely different in his eyes.
Therefore, other than ensuring precision and stability, he also tried to perceive the effect of every movement on his muscles, nerves, bones, and blood when he jabbed the sword out.
He did not know much about martial arts.
However, he had read plenty of times, and he knew that he could understand every book only after reading it enough number of times!
He believed that sword and fist practices were the same.
Right now, he had obviously reached the level.
