Chapter Eighty-Five: Hundred Beast Shape Fist
Seeing that the other party swung his sword towards him, Tian Jihong's face still showed a trembling look. This undoubtedly made Mo Lu more at ease, in his opinion, the other party was obviously inferior to himself in strength, and he only wanted to escape, and would not consider fighting him head-on at all. Therefore, when he was distracted to see if Tian Jihong would escape, the power of the sword that stabbed Tian Jihong in the face was also greatly limited.
However, Tian Jihong still endured it, knowing that the other party still had a means to save his life, Tian Jihong still did not choose to show all his strength so quickly to launch a counterattack. Although Mo Lu said that he was arrogant and unqualified, it did not mean that the other party was a fool, even if many flaws were exposed between the opponent's attacks at this moment, Tian Jihong still chose to pretend to be invincible when he could not guarantee a single blow to defeat the enemy. He could see that the other party's sword stab was not completely supported, and if he rashly launched an attack, he was afraid that the other party secretly had other means to protect himself.
So, Tian Jihong pretended to look around, as if he was looking for a way to escape; On the other hand, he deliberately retracted seventy percent of his strength, and only used his arm to pluck the attacking short sword from the side, avoiding his vital parts. After hearing the sound of "ding", the short-bladed blade touched the chain mail at the clavicle on the right side of Tianjihong, and a powerful impact force immediately forced Tianjihong back by more than ten steps.
Fortunately, Tian Jihong's judgment did not deviate too much, and under the protection of the silver armor, the lethality from the blade of the sword had been offset by more than half. After that, Tian Jihong relied on his extraordinary physical fitness to dissolve all the spiritual power attacks that rushed into his body from the blade of the sword. Under the opponent's move, Tian Jihong seemed to be beaten and retreated, but in fact, this embarrassed appearance was mostly used by him to confuse the opponent. In less than half a minute, Tian Jihong quickly suppressed the blood qi rising in his body, and his eyes quietly stared at the opponent's movements, waiting for the next attack.
And Mo Lu on the other side was also a little surprised when he saw that the other party did not show a decline under his sword. However, after seeing Tian Ji Hong being swept back several meters by his own sword qi, he still didn't notice anything wrong after all, looking at Tian Ji Hong's face with a cloak exuding like a great enemy, Mo Lu snorted coldly again, and said sharply:
"Humph! It's not bad, I really didn't expect that with your cultivation in the realm of refining the body, you would be able to resist my sword immortality under the protection of the treasure armor, such a treasure in the hands of your kid is indeed a tyrannical thing. But unfortunately, it was just a warm-up for Ben Gongzi; Today, I will let you see my Mo family's peerless [Hundred Beast Shape Fist], I want to see how long you can stop me with a single treasure power, a hairy boy whose spiritual power is far inferior to mine! ”
After saying that, Mo Lu quickly put away the short sword in his hand, stood upright between his feet to settle his center of gravity, and raised his arms to his chest and turned his palms outward; Then, after slowly mobilizing the spiritual power in his body, Mo Lu bowed slightly and took a step towards Tianjihong not far away, and his right hand was instantly retracted into his fist, and the dark purple spiritual power at the center of the fist surged, and it was directly a fist that swung towards Tianjihong's face. Under a set of smooth movements, Mo Lu was like a fierce tiger pounced, bursting out with terrifying power far beyond the previous use of the short sword.
At the last moment, Tian Jihong had no time to think carefully about the loopholes in the opponent's moves. He himself is not completely ignorant of Xingyi Boxing, Xingyi Boxing is a widely spread self-cultivation boxing method in the mainland, when he was a child, when he practiced his body, his father also pointed out his relevant knowledge. It's just that today, the other party is a member of the Mo family, since he claims that the so-called Hundred Beast Xingyi Fist is his family's mastery, then there must be an improvement in the basic boxing method, so as to cooperate with the exercises practiced by the Mo family to exert a more powerful power.
Looking at this heavy punch of the tiger, Tian Jihong did not dare to hold it up at this time. The essence of Xingyi Quan is to pay attention to courage and preemptiveness, in the face of the opponent's first offensive at the peak of momentum, still unwilling to expose all the strength of Tian Jihong, did not intend to take this punch hard. Therefore, at the moment before the majestic spiritual power came into contact with his Heavenly Spirit Gai, Tian Jihong saw the opportunity and hurriedly lowered his head, and then dodged sideways to the other party's side.
What he is counting on is that since he can't find a flaw in the opponent's move for a while, he might as well use his speed to avoid his edge first, so that the opponent has nowhere to go; When the strength of Mo Lu's three-plate axe has passed, he should be able to figure out a way to crack this punch.
It's just that Mo Yu, who is an opponent, didn't take Tianjihong seriously, and he came with the idea of quickly resolving the battle from the beginning. At this time, Tian Jihong's sudden ghostly speed in an instant really surprised him again; However, fortunately, as the mastery of the Mo family, this Hundred Beast Xingyi Fist is not a reputation that is boasted indiscriminately, and there are already essentials written in the mastery to make it difficult for the enemy to escape. For such an opponent who is faster than himself, this Hundred Beast Shape Yiquan naturally has a special method of restraint.
Mo Lu, who came to his senses at this moment, immediately changed his move, turned his right arm into a serpentine form and cast a grappling hand, and continued to attack towards the gap in Tianjihong's back when he dodged. This swift move switch did make Tian Jihong, who had not yet stabilized his body, suffer a loss, and when the snake hand shaped like a silk scurried straight into his armpit from the back, Tian Jihong, who was restrained, had to give up the strategy of turning his head to fight back.
In order not to be completely restrained by this sticky snake hand, Tian Jihong simply stopped getting up, and directly continued to lower his body and roll downward, which successfully got rid of the danger of being suppressed by the other party. And when Mo Lu saw that he couldn't make a plan, he directly turned his palm into a claw, like a falcon, and began to take advantage of his body to attack Tianjihong, who was rolling on the ground.
This set of coherent moves really made Tian Jihong, who was tired of coping, feel a little powerless. Although with his physical strength, even if he was hit by this whole set of punches, he should not be too seriously injured; But Tian Jihong still couldn't help but sigh at the excellence of this set of boxing and martial arts, as the Mo family's caretaker, it was indeed difficult for him to find the flaws in the moves.
At the moment, although it seems that this Mo Lu has only been practicing for a year or two, his use of this set of boxing techniques is enough to reach the point of small success. Tian Jihong speculated that most of them were like himself, and he had studied this set of martial arts before starting his spiritual power cultivation, otherwise he would never have cultivated this peerless skill to such a level in such a short period of time. Fortunately, his physical fitness is much better than this Mo Lu, otherwise if he changes to an opponent with similar real strength today, this set of Hundred Beast Shape Fist will come down, Tian Jihong really doesn't dare to say whether he can successfully take over this series of fierce offensives.
Over the next few minutes, the two engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Tian Jihong's side naturally didn't mention it, in the case that he deliberately hid his true strength, he was more in a passive parry situation, anyway, even if he couldn't dodge the opponent's heavy punch, he could also use his physical body to resolve the damage caused by the offensive in time. Mo Lu's set of martial arts is indeed outstanding, but it is a pity that the gap in physical fitness between the two sides is difficult to make up, especially in the hand-to-hand combat that Tian Jihong is best at, it is impossible for Mo Lu to take him down with this set of boxing techniques alone.
At the same time, as an opponent, Mo Lu finally restrained his contemptuous look, and the sweat droplets on his forehead gradually seeped out. In the past ten minutes, it had already been close to using all the killing moves in the more than a dozen styles it had cultivated in Xingyi Fist, and had successively conjured more than a dozen different beast forms to attack Tianjihong.
But what made him incomprehensible was that the other party was obviously defeated by his own series of offensives, and he couldn't find any chance to counterattack except for desperately parrying, but the hairy boy in front of him just refused to fall. And even though the opponent's moves seemed a little scrambling, his complexion did not change much, and he seized the opportunity to hit the opponent's body a few moves, which did not seem to have any substantive effect.
On the premise of not knowing the hidden strength of the other party, Mo Lu had to attribute all this to the power of the bright silver armor, and in his heart, he gritted his teeth at Tianjihong. In his eyes, the Tianjihong on the other side was as outrageous as a cockroach, and he couldn't find the means to defeat it completely for a while.
And what worries Mo Lu even more is that his Xingyi Fist is already about to run out of skills. You must know that this set of beast shape and meaning fist method at home is to emphasize surprise, dare to fight and win, and its substantive power is mostly concentrated in the first few moves, and the caster is often with the use of spiritual power to transform the beast shape, and the opponent can be caught off guard in a short period of time between the combination of virtual and real. However, once it is dragged into a long and protracted battle, and then the Xingyi Fist has not evolved more moves, it is easy to have loopholes and be seized by the opponent to counterattack.
Now Mo Lu, who is still a shallow cultivator, has only mastered a dozen of the Hundred Beast Forms and Meanings after spending several years immersed in this boxing method. At this time, his tricks are all displayed and the consumption of spiritual power is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for him to maintain the phantom illusion that Xingyi Fist relies on spiritual power, and after losing the essence of advancing both virtual and real, the unexpected effect of his fist method is greatly reduced.
Mo Lu could even feel from the follow-up encounters that Tian Jihong, as an opponent, was gradually becoming familiar with his own moves step by step, and the powerful suppressive power that his fist could play at the beginning no longer existed at this time. According to his speculation, if the current situation continues, within five minutes, the other party may be able to start a counterattack against him.
