#124 - Overwhelm the three great masters!
Chapter 126: Overpowering Three Great Masters!
(PS: Thanks to the suggestions from the大佬s, the previous chapter where the protagonist learned the Tathagata Palm has been revised to become the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms! The little author's main selling point is listening to advice!)
Standing to Zhao Zheng's left was a middle-aged woman.
She was wearing a white nightgown, her hair slightly curled, with several curlers clipped in, and slippers on her feet.
Such an outfit looked quite casual.
Seeing this middle-aged woman, Zhao Zheng recognized her at a glance.
The landlady of Pig Cage Alley!
At this time, the landlady was still relatively young, about thirty-something, not yet forty.
However, her formidable appearance already had some of the charm of later years.
She had a cigarette in her mouth, squinting her eyes, looking Zhao Zheng up and down.
"You are?"
The landlady said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Zheng then said, "Oh... I heard there's a tailor here with excellent skills, so I plan to have a few clothes made."
Hearing this, the landlady immediately realized, "You mean Old Bo... Master Zhao, right? His craftsmanship is indeed good, high quality and low price, the shop is over there, go ahead!"
"Thank you!"
After Zhao Zheng cupped his fist in thanks, he walked towards the tailor shop.
The landlady stared at Zhao Zheng's back, her gaze somewhat solemn.
…
"Sir, do you want to make clothes? Look at my fabric, feel how comfortable it is, all good quality fabric, and the price is not expensive."
When Zhao Zheng walked into the tailor shop, he was immediately warmly greeted by Master Zhao.
Master Zhao was also younger than Zhao Zheng remembered, not tall, but very sturdy.
"Yes, I want to make a suit of clothes."
Zhao Zheng said, his eyes looking towards the roof beam.
Next to the roof beam were two bamboo poles with many iron rings strung on them.
"What are those iron rings?" he asked deliberately.
Master Zhao immediately said, "They are some useless trinkets, hanging for fun."
"Is that so?" Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "Why does it look to me like arm rings specifically for practicing Iron Wire Fist?"
As soon as these words came out, Master Zhao's expression immediately changed.
He was living in seclusion here, naturally with unavoidable difficulties.
"Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Master Zhao's aura changed drastically, his muscles tensed, like a beast ready to pounce.
He regarded Zhao Zheng as someone who had come to seek revenge.
Feeling Master Zhao's hostility, Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "Master Zhao, don't misunderstand, I am also a martial artist, so I can recognize the Iron Wire Arm Rings."
"If it's really a misunderstanding, then you can leave! I'm not doing business today," Master Zhao said.
Of course, Zhao Zheng would not leave just like that.
"Don't be like that, Master Zhao, I came all this way, are you just going to let me go back empty-handed?"
"What do you want?"
"Oh, I just want to see how powerful the Hung Gar Iron Wire Fist is! Is it really like the rumors say, with softness within strength, the supreme of fists!"
Hearing this, Master Zhao immediately clenched his fists, ready to strike.
His eyes were fixed on Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng's expression remained calm.
The next moment.
Zhao Zheng raised his palm, with his palm facing upwards, aimed at the roof beam, and struck out with his palm in the air.
"Whoosh!"
Internal force and energy burst out instantly, breaking the two bamboo poles.
"Master Zhao, catch your weapons!"
Master Zhao was stunned upon hearing this.
However, seeing the Iron Wire Arm Rings sliding down, he did not hesitate at all, extending both hands at the same time, passing through the rings.
"Clang! Clang!"
Master Zhao struck a fighting pose.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng, without saying a word, directly attacked.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of fighting instantly rang out in the narrow tailor shop.
…
Not far from the tailor shop was a breakfast stall.
The boss making breakfast was kneading dough.
Suddenly, he heard the movement in the tailor shop and immediately poked his head out to look.
Through the window, he saw two figures fighting in the tailor shop.
Before long.
He saw a familiar figure being knocked out of the window and onto the ground.
The breakfast stall owner was shocked.
Because he had already recognized that the person who was knocked out of the tailor shop was his neighbor, tailor Master Zhao.
Having been neighbors with Master Zhao for so many years, it was the first time he knew that Master Zhao actually knew martial arts!
Looking at the Iron Wire Arm Rings on his wrists, Master Zhao must be a descendant of the Hung Gar Iron Wire Fist.
What surprised him even more was, who knocked Master Zhao out?
This question.
The answer soon appeared!
The next moment.
A young man emerged from the tailor shop and continued to attack Master Zhao.
That young man was very strong.
He didn't even use any sophisticated moves, just an ordinary fist, and Master Zhao was unable to resist.
Master Zhao retreated repeatedly, only able to dodge.
But the young man's speed was much faster than Master Zhao's...
"Bang!"
Master Zhao failed to dodge and took a punch from the young man.
Although this punch hit Master Zhao's shoulder, it sent Master Zhao flying.
Flying a full ten meters away.
Master Zhao then landed.
And then spat out a mouthful of blood.
And that young man, attacked again…
At this moment.
The residents in the tenement building noticed the fight.
But no one dared to step forward to stop it.
The breakfast stall owner knew that he could no longer watch.
If he didn't take action, Master Zhao might be beaten to death by that young man!
Thinking of this.
The breakfast stall owner immediately drew his rolling pin and threw it at the young man.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of air being torn apart came.
The rolling pin in the hands of the breakfast stall owner flew through the air like a bullet, arriving in front of Zhao Zheng in the blink of an eye.
This showed that the breakfast stall owner was also a martial arts master!
Zhao Zheng, who was striding forward, stopped immediately, raised his hand, and shattered the incoming rolling pin.
He turned his head to look at the breakfast stall owner, revealing a smile.
Since the breakfast stall owner had already chosen to save someone, he would definitely not give up halfway.
He kicked the door behind him, and immediately, a long staff fell into the owner's hand.
Subsequently.
The owner grabbed the long staff, took a step forward, and sprinted towards Zhao Zheng.
Before he arrived, the staff struck first!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The owner shook his hands, and the long staff was immediately twirled into a spear of flowers, aiming at Zhao Zheng's face and chest.
But Zhao Zheng clasped his hands together, and in an instant, he clamped the breakfast stall owner's long staff between his palms.
The breakfast stall owner was shocked!
Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
"The Five Element Eight Trigram Staff Technique, ever-changing and profound, lives up to its reputation!"
Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "You can even wield a staff with the power of a spear!"
Although he had a smile on his face, he was not polite in his actions at all.
Zhao Zheng grabbed the other end of the staff and yanked it hard.
The breakfast stall owner couldn't hold on and let go.
Zhao Zheng took advantage of the momentum and swung the long staff back, stabbing towards the stall owner.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp sound of air being torn apart appeared.
The stall owner was shocked and quickly dodged.
Although Zhao Zheng's staff was flying towards his shoulder, if it hit, it would at least result in lifelong disability.
"Whoosh!"
The long staff brushed past the stall owner's shoulder with a whoosh.
A narrow escape.
However, before the stall owner could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Zheng's figure was already in front of him like a ghost.
With the cooperation of the Nine Yang True Qi, the effect of Zhao Zheng's "Cloud Chasing Step" was even more amazing, and his movement was even more powerful.
When Zhao Zheng punched, the stall owner could no longer avoid it.
"Thump!"
Zhao Zheng's punch landed on the stall owner's shoulder.
The shoulder was not a weak point.
Even so, the stall owner was sent flying by his fist, even breaking through the wall and falling into the house.
Zhao Zheng is now at the Blood Exchange Realm.
This realm is no longer an ordinary person, but belongs to the extraordinary ranks.
With the cooperation of the Nine Yang True Qi, Zhao Zheng's every move has the power of ten thousand pounds.
If he explodes with all his strength, the impact force can reach twenty thousand pounds.
Therefore.
After the stall owner was knocked flying by him, like Master Zhao of the tailor shop, he lay directly in a pile of debris, severely injured and unable to move.
[Congratulations! You defeated a Dark Force martial artist and gained Martial Arts Points: 2484. Gained temporary Spirit Energy Points: 1242.]
Seeing the prompt that appeared in his left eye, Zhao Zheng was very satisfied.
Special Dark Force martial artists are indeed different!
Moreover, this successor of the Five Element Eight Trigram Staff Technique contributed more than a hundred more Martial Arts Points than Master Zhao of the tailor shop.
According to the Spirit Realm's judgment, as long as the native martial artist actively admits defeat or loses the ability to resist during the martial arts process, the transcendent is considered to have won.
There is no need to kill the opponent.
Zhao Zheng looked fierce just now, but in fact, he showed mercy everywhere.
If he wanted to kill, neither Master Zhao nor the owner of the breakfast stall would be his opponent.
The reason why he pretended to be a fierce and evil person was because he wanted to attract other experts and make those people fight him seriously to save people.
……
There are many experts in Pig Cage Village.
In addition to the "Lovers", there are three other experts.
They are: the successor of the Five Element Eight Trigram Staff Technique, the successor of the Hung Gar Iron Wire Fist, and the successor of the Twelve Road Spring Leg!
These three successors are all very strong, and they are estimated to be true successors.
However.
After Zhao Zheng defeated the two successors, the third successor did not appear.
It seems that "Coolie Strong" has not yet settled in the village.
Since "Coolie Strong" is not here.
Then Zhao Zheng's next challenge is naturally the "Lovers"!
Before the challenge.
He wants to improve his strength.
So, Zhao Zheng opened his attribute panel.
Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).
Age: 19 years old.
Martial Arts: Dragon's Roar Iron Body Technique (Transcendent), Iron Sand Palm (Transcendent), Cloud Chasing Step (Transcendent), Nine Yang Divine Skill (Proficient), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (Skilled)
Current Realm: Blood Exchange.
Current Martial Arts Points: 18311.
Available Spirit Energy Points: 2433.
……
This is Zhao Zheng's current attribute.
More than two thousand Spirit Energy Points were just obtained.
Without saying a word, Zhao Zheng directly spent two thousand Spirit Energy Points to first raise his realm to the "Peak of Blood Exchange"!
It's not that he doesn't want to enter the Innate Realm.
But it is too expensive to upgrade from Blood Exchange to "Innate", requiring a full three thousand Spirit Energy Points.
He doesn't have enough Spirit Energy Points.
After the upgrade, Zhao Zheng still has four hundred Spirit Energy Points left, which can just upgrade the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms"!
He upgraded the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from "Skilled" to "Proficient".
The "Lovers", although they are unremarkable, are very powerful, and Zhao Zheng dare not be careless.
Increasing his strength a little more will also increase his chances of winning.
