Volume 1: Martial World Chapter 49 - Coughing Blood Once More!

  At first, Na Shuai saw Ye Wen's palm coming towards his chest and was slightly flustered, but soon he saw that Ye Wen's palm movement was soft and weak, probably without much strength. It was likely that the force had been dispersed when blocking his own punch earlier, and this palm strike was just a feint to scare him.

  His mind had already made a decision, and he didn't bother to dodge Ye Wen's attack. With his own physical strength, he was confident that he could withstand Ye Wen's soft and weak palm without any major issues. On the contrary, he could take advantage of the situation to get closer and deliver a heavy blow to Ye Wen.

  Just as he was thinking about it, Ye Wen's left palm had already reached his chest. Suddenly, the palm movement changed and accelerated abruptly. Shi Cui hadn't reacted yet when he felt that the palm which wasn't in his attention suddenly disappeared, followed by a severe pain in his chest, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his throat, almost spitting out.

  "What's going on?"

  Shi Cui's mind only flashed with this thought, and then he felt the middle palm position shake again three times. The hot blood that had been suppressed finally spurted out, and because his entire body flew backward, the hot blood splattered all over his chest, dyeing his upper garment a deep red.

  Ye Wen casually dissolved Strui's punch with his right hand, and immediately followed up with a slap from his left hand. This slap had already employed the Mian Zhang Palm Technique, so although it looked soft and powerless, its speed was not slow at all. Especially in the moment of impact, the force burst out fiercely, and the powerful palm force poured out entirely, imprinting itself on Strui's body without wasting a single bit.

  Shi Cui suddenly suffered a heavy blow, and the originally well-planned offensive was all turned into a bubble, and because of this palm's unexpected power, he was beaten to the point where his defenses were wide open.

  Seeing this scene, Ye Wen naturally didn't let it go, and the cotton palm that came out originally had an endless meaning. After one hit, the continuous pursuit of attack naturally followed closely, so he was too lazy to care about how shocked Shi Cui was. His right hand circled back with a punch, his left hand struck once and then withdrew, also punching another fist, and finally his right fist withdrew, using all his internal energy to slap heavily with one palm. This last palm directly sent Shi Cui flying out, also making this guy directly pass out.

  This series of actions sounds very tedious, but it's just a momentary thing. From Strui jumping forward to being beaten by Ye Wen four times in a row and flying backwards while spitting blood and fainting, it only took less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Many people hadn't even reacted yet, or were still expecting Strui to show off his profound skills when this guy was already casually dispatched by Ye Wen.

  By the time everyone reacted to what had just happened in that instant, Ye Wen had already withdrawn his palms and stood with his back to them, proudly standing in the hall with a cold gaze at the Zhengquanmen people. The momentum was indeed worthy of a sect leader, and it made people feel a sense of respect.

  At this time, whether it was Zhengquanmen or anyone else, they would probably never dare to say that Ye Wen looked down on others. If they had such cultivation, they would also look down on those weak and small people - no matter how high Shuai's position in Zhengquanmen was, what his martial arts cultivation was like, now as soon as he met Ye Wen, he was beaten until he spat blood and fainted, naturally not considered a strong and powerful person, but only worthy of the title "weak and small".

  In the audience, probably only Zhang Gui vaguely understood what had happened, but he didn't see clearly how those few moves went. Seeing Shi Cui lying on the ground unconscious, while letting his disciples behind him who were frightened to rescue Shi Cui back and take a good look, he also made a fist at Ye Wen and said: "Mr. Ye's great kung fu, great mind!"

  They say Ye Wen has good kung fu, naturally they are praising him for defeating Shi Cui in the blink of an eye, someone who is on par with himself. They praise his clever tactics, saying that Ye Wen used words and expressions to infuriate Shi Cui, then took advantage of his rage to knock him out directly when he impulsively struck out, otherwise with Shi Cui's skills, even if he wasn't at his best, it wouldn't have been possible for Ye Wen to knock him down with just one move.

  In addition to resolving the Shui family, now only Zhang Gui can be taken out of the Zhengquan Gate. Regardless of the power of the Shushan faction, there is indeed a feeling of solitary palm here.

  But today, this matter was initiated by him with a straight fist, and if he just slunk away like this, he might as well not mix in the book mountain anymore. This face really can't be lost. Now that things have come to this point, even though Zhang Gui has already understood that Ye Wen's cultivation has indeed made great progress, and the fact that one palm defeated Yu Dahai is probably true, and it was right in front of his own eyes that he showed off his own kung fu skills, understanding that even if he himself didn't dare to ask for anything good from this Ye Zhangmen today, he still couldn't just go back like this.

  Taking a few big strides forward, Zhang Gui clenched his fists and said directly: "Today's matter can be considered as my, Zhang Gui, losing, but Mr. Ye has injured two of my Zhengquan Gate disciples in a row. This matter cannot be settled like this! I, Zhang, want to have a word with Mr. Ye now!"

  It's a waste of words to discuss this, it simply means comparing with Ye Wen. This didn't exceed Ye Wen's expectations, so he still had an expressionless face, stretching out his right hand and slightly making a welcoming gesture: "In that case, Ye naturally has no reason not to comply!"

  He took another step forward, as if accepting this battle.

  Seeing Ye Wen step forward, Zhang Gui frowned: "Mr. Ye doesn't use a weapon?" He remembered that Ye Wen was originally a sword practitioner, although his martial arts had improved a lot now, but he never thought that Ye Wen would give up on swordsmanship.

  Ye Wen was taken aback by the words, and immediately looked at Zhang Gui who also had empty hands: "Brother Zhang didn't use a weapon either? We're even, let's go!"

  Zhang Gui's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and he seemed to be getting slightly angry. He said that Ye Wen was looking down on him and refused to use a weapon: "My skills are all in these two fists, as for the knife technique I used last time against Mr. Ye, it's not my specialty!" He said that Ye Wen remembered that more than half a year ago, he was defeated by Zhang Gui when he used a sword, now seeing that Zhang Gui didn't use a weapon, Ye Wen also refused to use one.

  So I'll just say it outright, I was never good with knives, now that I'm using my fists, I can use my full strength, not that I looked down on Ye Wen. As for why I used a knife half a year ago, there's no need to go into details, everyone understands.

  Ye Wen also understood that Zhang Gui was best at bare-handed combat, so he wanted to fight him empty-handed to prove himself. He even said it out loud because he didn't want to take advantage of Ye Wen and wanted to give him a heads up, lest he suffer a disadvantage in seeking a fair fight. This shows that Zhang Gui's character is commendable, whereas Ye Wen's tactics make Shi Cui appear less than noble.

  Since Zhang Gui had made his point clear, Ye Wen could only say: "In the past six months, my swordsmanship has actually declined, but my fist and footwork have improved significantly. Don't mind it, Brother Zhang, let's just have a bare-handed exchange!"

  For someone as straightforward as him, Ye Wen still had a lot of respect, so he directly stated his intentions and told him that even if he was empty-handed, he wasn't at a disadvantage, come on then!

  Since everyone has said so, Zhang Gui didn't say much more. Moreover, Ye Wen's knockout of Shi Cui earlier was indeed swift and decisive. If he were to say that this Ye Palm Door doesn't understand boxing, then he absolutely wouldn't believe it. So, he didn't waste any more words and took a step forward, starting with a charging fist.

  Zhang Gui's specialty was the Zhengquan, one of the two main fist techniques of the Zhengmen school. This differed from the Xiao Zhengquan practiced by Shi Chui. The Zhengquan emphasized grandeur and openness, with a focus on straightforwardness and honesty. When mastered, it could be used to defeat an opponent in a fair and square manner, which suited Zhang Gui's personality quite well.

  So in the Zhengquan Gate, Zhang Gui's mastery of this boxing technique is the most profound. Even the master of the Zhengquan Gate can only win against him by relying on his superior skill and power.

  Ye Wen naturally didn't know the inside details, and seeing Zhang Gui's incoming punch, he also used the Taizu Long Fist to counterattack. After all, this set of fist techniques was what he had practiced most proficiently at present, and the Mian Zhang was still in its early stages of practice. Just now it was effective because the opponent was enraged and off guard, but in a fair and square match like this, using an unrefined technique would be courting death.

  In the blink of an eye, the two men were fighting in unison, but seeing that the boxing methods used by both of them were grand and unrestrained, they looked quite majestic. Amidst the flashing and dodging, there was no sign of clumsiness. Outsiders who didn't understand what was happening thought these two people were fellow disciples, competing with each other in the arena.

  This is because Taizu Changquan and Dazhengquan are roughly the same route, now that two people have fully displayed their skills to fight together, they will have this effect. It wasn't long before everyone saw the two men's moves getting faster and faster, with a hint of breaking wind between their fists and feet, at which point it was unlikely that anyone would think the two were practicing moves between fellow disciples, but rather truly fighting for their lives.

  But Ye Wen's two fists crossed downwards, blocking Zhang Gui's punch to his abdomen, then followed by a slap, and slapped down the kick that came immediately after. Then he rushed forward in a flash, his left fist clenched directly at Zhang Gui, but was dodged by Zhang Gui's sidestep, and then countered with another move.

  In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged over a dozen moves. Zhang Gui felt that Ye Wen's boxing style was quite similar to his own Da Zheng Quan, but the power between his fists and feet was much greater, clearly indicating that his internal strength was superior to his own. If they continued to fight like this, he could at most hold out for thirty moves without being defeated, but if it went on any longer, he feared he would be exhausted and unable to counterattack.

  "In his heart, he secretly exclaimed: 'How did Ye Wen's kung fu become so fierce!' Then he didn't have the mind to think about anything else, and focused on dealing with his opponent. After all, this matter has already become irreconcilable, as long as he can put up a good fight against the enemy, that's enough. As for the outcome, it's not something he could consider at present."

  Zhang Gui only wanted to drag it out a bit longer, but Ye Wen didn't think that prolonging the fight was a good thing. If they fought for too long, his own purpose of establishing dominance would be ruined! So he secretly looked for an opportunity and took advantage of the moment when the two figures crossed paths, suddenly changing his hand movements to unleash a fierce palm strike.

  Previously, the two men had been exchanging blows in a wide and open manner, with most of their moves being old and familiar. However, Ye Wen's move suddenly changed, and as they passed each other, they were extremely close, making it difficult for Zhang Gui to use his usual techniques such as Da Zheng Quan and Tai Zu Chang Quan. But Mian Zhang was perfectly suited for this situation. Before he could react, Ye Wen suddenly appeared right next to him, with a palm strike coming straight at him. Zhang Gui wondered how Ye Wen could generate any power in such close proximity, and what would be the point of hitting him even if he did. Just as he finished thinking, he felt like his waist had been struck by a massive boulder, causing his abdomen to churn violently, and it was clear that Ye Wen's internal energy had injured his internal organs.

  Just because it was himself who had just used up all his strength, at this moment he suddenly suffered a heavy blow, and almost fell to the ground, stumbling once, and Ye Wen seized the opportunity to slap him twice, causing Zhang Gui to retreat four or five steps before barely stabilizing his body.

  At this time, Ye Wenyun's inner strength and the full true energy that had been injected into Zhang Gui's body also started to wreak havoc like a rebellion. Just as Zhang Gui was barely able to calm down his body, he suddenly couldn't hold back anymore, and a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out of his mouth.

  Upon seeing this scene, Ye Wen put down the huge rock in his heart and couldn't help but mock: "Spitting blood again? Can't you come up with something new?"

  A friend asked me about the update time... Well, I can only say that it will be updated every night, two chapters a day. If there is a missing update, it will be made up for later!
