Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Tai Chi Brings Peace to the World Through Wisdom
Zhan Shao frowned, glanced at Ye Xuan, and asked coldly, “Who are you?”
“Who I am, you don’t need to know. Just do as I said earlier, let that old man co out and fight .”
Ye Xuan shrugged and said indifferently.
“Hmph, what a big mouth! This is a feud between us and the Wu Family. I’d advise you not to get involved, to avoid unnecessary trouble for yourself!” Zhan Shao said coldly.
“That’s not possible. I am now an ally of the Wu Family, and since I promised to protect them, I must follow through with my word.”
Ye Xuan shook his head and said leisurely.
“Ally?”
Zhan Shao’s eyes flashed, and he sneered, “Heh, I wondered how the Wu Family beca so bold as to develop rebellious thoughts! Turns out they’ve found a new backer, but this backer of yours is no stronger than an arm. Are you sure you want to stand up for them and oppose my Zhan Family?”
“Whether my backing is strong or not, why don’t you try it out?” Ye Xuan smiled casually.
“If you want to stand up for the Wu Family, then you are an enemy of my Zhan Family!”
“If I don’t stand up, would you let us go?” Ye Xuan retorted.
Zhan Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered calmly, “Since you’re so confident in yourself, I’ll fulfill your wish! Uncle Zhong, test his strength for ; not any stray cat or dog can underestimate the existence of my Zhan Family.”
“Okay, Young Master!”
Uncle Zhong agreed instantly, casting a scornful glance at Ye Xuan! With a flick of his foot, he dashed out like lightning.
Swish!
His right leg turned into an afterimage, aiming directly at Ye Xuan’s chest!
Ye Xuan, calm and collected, without a hint of panic, kicked out his own leg swiftly, eting Zhan Zhong’s right leg in midair with a resounding clash.
Crack!
A crisp and clear sound of bone cracking was heard, as if Zhan Zhong’s leg had been struck by a sturdy axe blade, it was directly broken by Ye Xuan’s kick.
At the sa ti, he lost his balance and fell backward.
“How dare you, villain!”
At that mont, a loud shout suddenly ca from the direction of the Zhan Family’s crowd.
Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed, disregarding it entirely.
Seize the mont, take the life!
Bang.
Without pause, another kick rapidly slamd into Zhan Zhong’s chest, sending him flying backward with great force!
anwhile, a white-haired old man standing beside Zhan Shao, wearing a black martial arts uniform, moved instantly from the Zhan Family’s camp.
With a light tap of his toe on the ground, his thin figure darted out like a swift swallow soaring through the clouds, arriving behind Zhan Zhong in an instant.
At this mont, Zhan Zhong’s body was like a cannonball, retreating rapidly, about to crash into the old man and propel him away!
The old man’s thin body surely couldn’t withstand such a fierce impact.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the old man didn’t retreat a single step but instead extended a palm to press down on Zhan Zhong’s left shoulder. With a twist of his wrist, he dissipated the force!
Imdiately, with a sudden push downward, Zhan Zhong’s airborne body returned to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale and body staggering.
This scene amazed many of the onlookers!
Especially the people from the Wu Family, including Wu Jindao and his son, whose expressions grew solemn.
The middle-aged man was already formidable enough, but they didn’t expect this old man’s prowess to be an entire notch higher! This ti, the Zhan Family had sent so many experts, clearly set on crushing the Wu Family! At the very least, it would bleed them dry!
Now, they could only pin their hopes on Ye Xuan, otherwise, after tonight, the Wu Family would truly be finished.
“Four ounces deflect a thousand pounds! The Tai Chi Pushing Hands, interesting…”
Seeing the old man’s move, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up, showing an interested expression, eager to try as he smiled lightly and said:
“Civilization brings peace to the world with Tai Chi! I’ve also practiced Tai Chi Boxing for a while. Perfect, let’s see whose Tai Chi is better!”
With this, he imdiately charged forward, assuming a Tai Chi Boxing stance, launching an attack at the old man.
“Hmm? Tai Chi Boxing?”
The old man narrowed his eyes and, seeing Ye Xuan also practicing Tai Chi Boxing, his expression turned solemn.
Handing Zhan Zhong over to his subordinates to take away, the old man instructed in a deep voice, “Elder Right, protect the Young Master, I’ll handle this boy!”
After speaking, he summoned a formidable aura and swiftly t Ye Xuan in combat.
Boom!
In an instant, the two clashed head-on, the collision of auras erupting in an invisible force field, producing a roaring sound of Qi Force colliding.
Ye Xuan took the initiative, his arms encircling his body in a flowing motion. His seemingly gentle and weak palms, like agile snakes, moved swiftly and slowly, creating blurred afterimages as they attacked the old man.
The opposing old man, at the sa ti as Ye Xuan’s attack, similarly put up his arms, blocking Ye Xuan’s offensive!
This was their first encounter!
As soon as their arms touched, after a brief pause, they simultaneously began to exert force against each other.
This is one of the Tai Chi Boxing’s offensive thods, the Tai Chi Pushing Hands!
In their mutual probing, the old man adopted an aggressive strategy, from the start channeling a fierce Dantian force to restrain Ye Xuan!
This is called ‘questioning force’ in Tai Chi Pushing Hands, a way to test Ye Xuan’s response and thus gauge his strength.
Facing the old man’s fierce Dantian force, Ye Xuan didn’t retreat an inch, absorbing it completely without any change in his expression.
This made the old man’s face slightly more serious. He was well aware of the force he exerted; even a strong two-hundred-pound man would have been knocked down by it, but this guy not only withstood it but showed no reaction at all!
This indicated his strength was formidable, not to be underestimated! The old man imdiately put away his contempt.
After this probing, the old man quickly escalated his attack pace, knowing that with such a strong opponent, prolonging the battle was not advisable.
He flooded his hands with power, unleashing a flurry of afterimages, continuously releasing fierce montum to overpower Ye Xuan with overwhelming force, quickly subduing him.
In the face of the old man’s storm-like assault, Ye Xuan stood as immovable as a mountain, majestic and unmoving. No matter how fierce the attacks were, they couldn’t break his defense, and the incoming fierce force was effortlessly neutralized.
At this mont, he resembled a massive spring, easily rebounding any force that ca his way.
The Coiling Silk Energy of Tai Chi Boxing was used by him to its fullest extent!
And the dissipated force was partly absorbed into the ground, making inaudible collision sounds, ultimately borne by the heavy earth. The other part reacted against the old man, subjecting him to a dual assault.
Fortunately, the old man’s Tai Chi Boxing attainnts were also profound, similarly dissipating the rebound force into the ground!
But even so, he was shaken, his energy and blood surging turbulently. If he hadn’t dissipated the force in ti, his internal organs would have been shattered by the fierce Qi Force.
Though not fatal, it would cost him most of his life!
