Chapter 37 The Sword Fight Begins

The next morning,
The Huashan Sword Contest has officially begun.

Although they agreed to start today, it should have started yesterday.

But Wang Ming dragged everyone to the Siguo Cliff Cave, where they rested for a night, which delayed the time for them to take action.

Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong also endured for a whole night, and now the time is up they don't want to endure it anymore.

Immediately, the two of them started fighting.

The last time the two really fought was twenty years ago, on Peach Blossom Island. Both of them were very restrained and did not use their real skills.

This battle was what they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Guo Jing was watching from the side, struggling in his heart as to whether he hoped his father-in-law Huang Daozhu would win or his master Hong Qigong would win. He was torn deep down inside.

Huang Rong, however, was full of worry and looked solemn. She knew very well that her father Huang Yaoshi could not defeat Hong Qigong.

Hong Qigong's martial arts skills are not as good as Huang Yaoshi's, but he has obtained the "Nine Yin Scriptures", and now his martial arts skills have not only been fully restored, but have also been improved.

Huang Yaoshi was different. Although he obtained the "Lower Volume of the Nine Yin Scriptures" very early, he also killed his beloved wife Feng Heng because of it. This was the pain of his life, so he vowed never to practice the "Nine Yin Scriptures" from then on, and to create a martial arts that was no less than the "Nine Yin Scriptures".

However, human power is limited, and it is impossible to achieve success just by creating something.

Huang Rong was very worried. Her father was very proud by nature and she was afraid that he would not be able to accept the defeat.

However, after a few rounds of fighting, Huang Rong was completely relieved.

Huang Rong thought to herself, "Old Master Qi is indeed trustworthy. He said he would not use the Nine Yin Manual, so he did not use it. I think Daddy will not lose too badly."

Huang Yaoshi used his self-created "Falling Flower Sword Palm" to counter Hong Qigong's moves, and the fight was back and forth.

This palm technique: the moves are "Flying Flowers in the River City, Heavy Rain and Strong Wind, Scattering Flowers". The two words "divine sword" are in the palm technique, which is derived from the sword technique. When the palm comes, it is like falling petals, with palm shadows in all directions, five virtual and one real, or eight virtual and one real, like a sudden strong wind in a peach forest, and all the flowers falling at the same time. The beauty lies in the graceful posture, as if dancing, and the palm is as sharp as a sword. He often uses "Orchid Brushing Point Hand" and "Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Kick" to create some trouble for Hong Qigong.

Unfortunately, although Hong Qigong seemed to have a hard time resisting, after a hundred rounds, these moves had little effect on him.

No matter how exquisite your moves are, Hong Qi is like a reef standing still in the sea. No matter what moves you use, he will just hit you with his Dragon Subduing Palm.

Huang Yaoshi also realized that the battle situation was not favorable. He analyzed in his mind, "This old beggar's martial arts skills have improved so rapidly. It's really amazing. He is becoming more and more familiar with my martial arts moves. Gradually, my first moves are broken by him. I can no longer fight him in close combat."

He immediately used his lightness skills to create some distance between himself and Hong Qigong, and used his unique skill "Finger Magic" to fight him in a long-range combat.

"Finger Magic": Bend the middle finger of the right hand, clasp it under the thumb and eject it. You can also clasp a hidden weapon under the thumb and eject it. The technique is subtle and mysterious. When used to eject a hidden weapon, the range is very long, the speed is extremely fast, and the force is as strong as a strong bow and crossbow. It can be used to knock down enemy weapons and hit enemy acupuncture points. "Seventh brother! Be careful."

Huang Yaoshi flew into the air and used his finger magic to strike Hong Qigong between his eyebrows. The powerful force flew towards Hong Qigong at a rapid speed.

Hong Qigong reacted extremely quickly and used the move "Seeing the Dragon in the Field"

The left palm is round and powerful, while the right palm is straight. This move is purely defensive, like a solid wall. It can block the enemy when they come, and disappear without a trace when the enemy does not come.

He blocked Huang Yaoshi's killing move instantly, but Hong Qigong was also afraid. He thought to himself, "Fortunately, although Huang Yaoshi is called the East Evil, he never uses conspiracy and sneak attacks to hurt people. Otherwise, if he hadn't been careful just now, I, an old beggar, would have died today."

He was no longer as careless as he was at the beginning when his martial arts surpassed Huang Yaoshi. He became more cautious in his actions. Although he had not used the martial arts in the Nine Yin Scriptures for a long time, he had actually used all his strength.

The Nine Yin Scriptures is indeed a profound martial art, but in terms of combat lethality, the offensive means above are not more powerful than their own Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing. The Five Great Masters are so obsessed with the Nine Yin Scriptures, but in fact, they are only interested in its internal strength.

"Nine Yin Divine Claws" and "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" are martial arts of the same level, but when Hong Qigong uses them himself, the effect is ten, while the effect of "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" is fifteen.

The "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" has accompanied Hong Qigong for decades. His moves have reached the level of forgetting moves in martial arts, and each move leaves no trace.

Years of practice have also caused subtle changes in his muscles and bones, making him more suitable for the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, the martial arts style in "Nine Yin Manual" does not match Hong Qi's personality, and the effect is indeed not as good as "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing"

Huang Yaoshi's figure moved fast and slow, advancing and retreating quickly. From time to time, a highly condensed Qi bullet shot out from his hand, hitting the major acupoints on Hong Qigong's body.

They fought like this for another twenty or thirty rounds.
Hong Qigong slightly bent his left leg, bent his right arm inward, drew a circle with his right palm, and with a whoosh, he pushed outwards, sweeping his palm towards Huang Yaoshi, who dodged it with great agility.

Just as he was about to turn around and fight back, Hong Qigong pushed out with his right hand and stopped in front of him.

This is exactly the "Arrogant Dragon Will Regret" from "The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", Hong Qigong's masterpiece throughout his life.

Huang Yaoshi was a decisive person. Knowing he was no match for his opponent, he admitted defeat immediately.

When Huang Rong saw her father defeated, she immediately went forward to comfort him.

Although Huang Yaoshi had a strange temper, he was not someone who could not afford to lose, so he didn't really care.

When Wang Ming saw that the fight between the two men was over, he couldn't wait to step forward and challenge them to a fight.

After practicing so hard for so long, it is also necessary to verify what you have learned.
