Containment Volume II: The Battle of Ice and Fire
2. The Battle of Ice and Fire
Although "Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms" is the best of the poisonous palms, it is not the only poisonous palm.
The long-inherited "Cinnabar Palm" and "Iron Sand Palm" also belong to poisonous palms, but unlike other poisonous palms, he wins with palm power, not by poison. Therefore, although there is "Ten Thousand Poison Zhang" in the world, there are still people who are practicing ☯ these two techniques.
After passing on for an unknown number of generations, someone suddenly had a whim, thinking that since Tang Men can have the practice ☯ of practicing poison all over the body, why not practice this "Cinnabar Palm" and "Iron Sand Palm" all over the body. If you really practice this skill ☯ all over your body, what kind of power will it be?
After several generations of research, two new sets of miraculous skills were finally created.
These two sets of magic skills are based on the original palm technique, digging a deep pit in an open flat land, adding firewood underneath, and placing a huge pot on top of it, which has the necessary sand in the pot. When the temperature is at its highest, the person jumps into the cauldron and cultivates ☯ according to the method in the secret book.
Although this magic skill is based on the palm method, many cultivation ☯ methods have been added, and in addition to sand, other materials need to be added to the cauldron.
The heat borne by the human hand is stronger than that of other parts of the body ☯, and it is fashionable and unbearable to practice "Iron Sand Palm" and "Cinnabar Palm" at the beginning, let alone practice ☯ with the whole body.
is based on mediocre qualifications in the rivers and lakes, and there are many people who are willing to practice "Iron Sand Palm" and "Cinnabar Palm" hard, but only those who practice the whole body are people from that sect.
Diao San learned the "Divine Formula", which was adapted from "Cinnabar Palm". Those who have successfully practiced ☯ will gradually turn red on their bodies ☯, and after reaching Dacheng, their whole bodies will become vermilion ☯, and the vermilion body is close to the pronunciation of the word "Zhu Shen", so the name "Zhu Shen Jue" is derived from this. Another martial art changed by "Iron Sand Palm" was named "Black Evil Divine Skill" because the practitioner's whole body was pitch black.
On both sides present, Lu Jiukong and the others did not move at all, perhaps because they were shocked ☯ to see the rare martial arts in the world.
Diao San didn't move, and at this time of tension, he calmed down and thought about what the current situation was best for him.
The surroundings are also surprisingly quiet, all the people in the house who can fight are in the inner house to protect the female dependents, and those who can't fight are hiding in the room and don't dare to breathe, and even more have quietly left.
This is the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, it was drizzling in the sky.
A drop of rain fell on the tip of Lu Jiukong's nose, and he couldn't help but raise his head.
At this time, the sky was already white, and although the sun had not yet risen, it was certain that it was a sunny day, so how could it rain in such weather.
At this time, another explosion thunder sounded.
Sure enough, the calm was followed by a storm, but it seems that God did not want to add a little atmosphere to this desperate struggle.
For this rain is man-made rain, and thunder is man-made thunder.
The temperature around Diao San was on par with the fire, and the moisture in the air had already vaporized.
But when he rose into the air, he encountered Bai Tieying's cold air that was waiting for him with ten successful ☯ forces.
In fact, this is a competition of cultivation, if these steam are not turned into water within the range of Bai Tieying's true power, it means that Diao San's skill ☯ is much higher than everyone else. If it is ice particles that fall, it means that Bai Tieying's skill ☯ is higher.
But at this time, it was rain that fell, which showed that although Bai Tieying's true power could compete with Diao San, it was slightly insufficient.
As for the thunder, it was Diao San.
The two sides are facing each other, and they are both thinking about how to hit each other. At this moment, Diao San Dantian ☯ exerted his strength to let out a thunderous roar. This earth-shattering cry ☯ spread throughout the entire Lu Mansion, and it also made the four people present stunned.
Although Diao San's tongue ☯ was cut out, he couldn't speak. But the roar ☯ that comes out with real power can still shake people's hearts.
In this stunned kung fu, Diao San had already attacked Bai Tieying.
This move was not only swift, but also unexpected.
Bai Tieying and Lu Kun are both veterans ☯, with their years of experience, when fighting against several people, they should attack the weak first and then take the strong. So as not to defeat the opponent's master, but be attacked by the little minions, and the reputation of the first generation will be ruined. Therefore, Lu Kun and Bai Tieying had already thought about it when they confronted each other. If Diao San made a move towards the two juniors, the two of them would immediately stop it.
Who knew that Diao San did the opposite, first attacking Bai Tieying, who had the strongest skills ☯.
This is exactly the shrewdness of Diao San, he first uses his roar to grab people, and then uses reverse thinking to catch the enemy by surprise.
Of course, this is also related to Diao San's current situation, he knows that he will not live long, rather than killing one or two juniors, it is better to concentrate firepower on the powerful, and before he dies, he will clear a little obstacle for the future of the young master.
This move has already given Diao San the upper hand. The red fiery palm left a red shadow in the air, heading straight for Bai Tieying. That Bai Tieying was not a vegetarian, but he was slightly stunned, and his palms met him with the fastest speed
Ice ☯ and fire are incompatible, and life and death are judged immediately. One is ready to go, the other is caught off guard, and the outcome of this trick can be imagined.
Just when Bai Tieying was lucky, a thin layer of ice had formed in his palms, and by the time his palms touched, a half-inch thick circular ice shield had been formed. But when it met Diao San's full force, half of the ice shield was instantly shattered, and the remaining half also melted into water, and before it landed, it had already turned into steam.
And Bai Tieying was also shocked and took three steps back before stopping.
As soon as Diao San saw that he had won the blow, he would immediately rush forward and give the other party a chance to breathe.
But at this moment, Diao San felt two strong winds coming from his shoulders behind him, one cold and the other strong.
Diao San ☯ knew that it was Bai Shaohu and Lu Jiukong without looking, but he didn't expect that these two people would use such a style of play, which is obviously what inexperienced people do.
It turns out that whenever two people compete, whether it is a trick or a duel, they will first test with seven successes ☯, and then gradually increase their skills ☯ according to the actual situation at that time, or show weakness in strategy. However, there will always be a bit of confidence. Only those who don't want to die like Diao San will be ten successful ☯ as soon as they come up. However, what he didn't expect was that this Lu Jiukong and Bai Shaohu, in the case of unknown strength of the enemy and me, would have all their skills ☯ as soon as they made a move.
It turned out that the reason why they did this was because as soon as Diao San made a move, he attacked Bai Tieying with all his might, and he didn't care about himself. If you put this on someone else, you can't ask for it. But the two are different, they both wanted to be famous, but when they looked at Diao San, they didn't look at them, and they were naturally angry in their hearts. The young man is strong-blooded, lacks consideration in doing things, and storms it without thinking about it.
Although Diao San was surprised, his years of experience and skills ☯ were all there.
But seeing that Diao San neither moved forward, nor dodged, let alone turned around to counterattack. Throw your arms to the sides and ☯ step back sharply.
This trick surprised the two of them again. If Diao San moved forward, dodged, or turned to counterattack, they all thought of a back move, but this retreat really didn't come to mind. The blow that hit the opponent's shoulder was stopped by the arm like this.
Only listen to "ding" and "bang".
Two sounds came from Diao San's arms.
The two of them were shocked more than a foot away, and after landing on the ground, they took a few steps back before they could stand firmly.
Although this attack had no effect, it also delayed Diao San's offensive and bought a little time for Bai Tieying's counterattack.
Bai Shaohu and Lu Jiukong's feet had not yet touched the ground, and Diao San had already used his internal strength and palms, ready to fight with Bai Tieying again.
At this moment, Lu Kun's long stick had already been lit on Diao San's acupuncture points. This time, Lu Kun used eight success ☯ forces, and it was an attack when the other party was focusing all his energy on Bai Tieying. Yes, the anti-shock force from the other party did not shake Lu Kun away, but this is it, which also makes the old man uncomfortable.
At this moment when Diao San and Lu Kun were at a stalemate, Bai Tieying's palms had arrived, and there was an ice shield about an inch thick above that palm.
Before the palm arrived, the cold air had already spread to his chest and abdomen through the hot air that was hotter than fire around ☯ Diao San's body.
Knowing that the power of this palm is not trivial, Diao San can't care about Lu Kun behind him, and uses all his strength ☯ to face Bai Tieying's ice shield.
The four palms were facing each other, but a "bang" sound was heard, and then there was a crisp "click" sound under his feet. The bluestone bricks under the feet of the two of them had cracked, and with the two of them as the center, a crack with a diameter of a foot long, like a spider's web. And the ice shield between the four palms is also melting little by little. The water droplets fell into the cracks in the ground, and most of them turned into steam, and a small amount of white iron condensed into broken ice.
Looking at the palms of the two of them again, although Bai Tieying's cold air continued to gather towards the ice shield, it could already be seen that the distance between the two palms had narrowed a little. Lu Kun, who was behind Diao San, had a red face, the green tendons on his hands burst out, and bursts of white mist appeared above his head, looking very difficult. Bai Shaohu and Lu Jiukong, who were not far away, were shocked by ☯ Fang Cai's shock, and Diao San's true power that was better than the fire forced them to take a few steps back.
only heard the sound of "ho", and the head of the stick against Diao San's back was ignited by the high temperature.
Lu Kun knew that there was no chance of winning in such a hard fight with the enemy, and the stick in his hand had already been roasted and hot, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Without Lu Kun's ties, Diao San could deal with the enemy in front of him wholeheartedly, and in this way, Bai Tieying would be a little out of his power.
Seeing that his grandfather was defeated, only Bai Tieying was left to fight alone, although he was not angry in his heart, he had to admit that everyone together was not the opponent of this Diao San.
But as the saying goes: you don't lose if you lose.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiukong couldn't take much of it, rushed forward, and put his palm against Lu Kun's vest.
With the help of his grandson ☯ Zhenli, Lu Kun's spirits were lifted, and his arms urged Zhenli to shake off the burning ☯ stick.
Seeing the Lu family's grandfather and grandson join forces, Bai Shaohu knew that now was no longer the time to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that his uncle's life would not be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, he also rushed forward and sent a steady stream of true power into Lu Kun's body ☯.
With the help of his grandson ☯, Lu Kun has forced out the cinnabar fire. Coupled with Bai Shaohu's icy aura, he was no longer afraid of the fiery ☯ true power in front of him. With the help of the two young people, Lu Kun's confidence has increased greatly.
I just heard him shout softly, and the real power was running. The head of the one-foot-long stick in front of the stick is shaken into a stick like a fragrant head, and the tip is as thin as a hair, which looks like a long-handled wooden brush from a distance.
As Lu Kun's hands turned, countless thin sticks opened and ☯ stabbed at the acupuncture points behind Diao San.
This is amazing, although the skills ☯ of the three of them are not as good as Diao San, they are not inferior to Bai Tieying in total. And now there are countless thin sticks pierced on the acupuncture points ☯ behind Diao San, which is more effective than the stick just now.
Diao San was concentrating on competing with Bai Tieying for Zhenli, and many acupuncture points behind him were caught off guard, and Zhenli was also blocked. This time not only the opportunity is well grasped, but also the power is stronger. The two sides cooperated back and forth to turn the situation around at once.
What Diao San is glad about now is that the other party did not target only one acupuncture point at a time, but distributed it evenly on several acupuncture points, which was why he resisted ☯ until now, otherwise maybe he would have fallen to the ground now.
And Lu Kun didn't want to end it quickly, but Diao San's skill ☯ was unknown, if he missed a blow and was counterattacked by him from a point, it would not be one person who would be injured, but three people. More than sixty percent of the people have no combat effectiveness, so can this battle still be fought?
Seeing that he was about to restrain the other party, Diao San naturally would not sit still, and since he was ready, he would no longer have any scruples.
But seeing him, in an instant, he introduced the two true forces before and after, as well as his own true power, into the dantian ☯, desperately breaking the dantian ☯ ☯. Such a consequence, even Diao San, who has the same idea of ending up, can't bear it.
The severe pain in the dantian ☯ made Diao San, who could no longer speak, roar here again.
With a shocking shout, Diao San's skills ☯ went to the next level. The four people who originally had the advantage were shocked back several steps by this strong true force. Bai Shaohu and Lu Jiukong flew out and almost sat on the ground.
As soon as he succeeded, Diao San did not fight back immediately, but covered his lower abdomen with his hands and panted, such pain is not something ordinary people can bear.
Gritting his teeth, Diao San said to himself in his heart: Lao ☯ Tzu doesn't know how many evils he has done in his life, and he has suffered many times more in hell after death than he does now, what is this pain. It's just that if you don't kill one or two today, how can you have the face to see those who died after death?
At the stall where Diao San endured pain and comforted himself, Bai Tieying still wanted to gather his strength ☯ again. But the water just kept flowing ☯ out of his hands, but he couldn't gather qi into ice.
It turned out that Diao San's current skills ☯ had made the entire courtyard like a furnace. The surrounding ground has cracked, and the plants have turned yellow, and some are even smoking, and it is still getting worse.
The cold ice that Bai Tieying had just gathered ☯ in his hand turned into clear water, and then turned into steam in an instant. And Diao San's true power that entered his body ☯ was also constantly making trouble, making it impossible for him to improve his skills ☯ and fight against the high temperature around him.
If Diao San is now like a knife, then Bai Tieying is burned inside.
The "Arctic Iceberg Technique" practiced ☯ by Bai Tieying is an extremely cold martial art, but except for people with special physiques, there is yin and yang in the human ☯ body ☯. And when you practice ☯ this skill, a heat will be born in your body ☯ to resist ☯. As the power ☯ grew, this heat was also suppressed, but it did not disappear.
The more power ☯ is consumed, the stronger the heat is discharged.
Nowadays, Bai Tieying has consumed a lot of power ☯, and has absorbed a lot of the true power of the "Divine Punishment Technique" in his body ☯. If you don't adjust in time, I'm afraid that even if you win in the end, you will become a waste.
At this time, Diao San also adapted to the pain, and saw that he didn't want to think about it, and shot directly at Bai Tieying.
But it was such a choice that saved Bai Tieying's life.
If Diao San did not make a move to Bai Tieying, but to Bai Shaohu, who was not very skilled ☯. Then in order to protect the only bloodline of the Bai family, Bai Tieying may use the same method of breaking the dantian ☯ as Diao San.
But now, apparently, there is no need for such a broken method.
Just when Diao San was suppressing ☯ the pain in his abdomen with his strength ☯, Bai Tieying discovered a terrible phenomenon, and the air around him turned red—blood red.
What is the situation, is it Bai Tieying's dazzle, or is he injured by Diao San, causing qi and blood to flow backwards and his eyes are congested ☯.
If it weren't for these two situations, it would be even more terrifying, because it can only show that Diao San's skills ☯ have reached the point of affecting the environment.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Master Dao has a divine skill, which can be practiced to the highest level, which can trigger the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
The scene in front of him is difficult to show that the highest level of the "Divine Punishment Technique" can burn ☯ the air, and Diao San already has this ability ☯.
At that time, Bai Tieying was not mistaken, the air around him did turn red, but it was not the kind of burning ☯ air. Instead, Diao San's own ☯ body ☯ temperature was too high, causing the blood to boil and evaporate from the pores.
It can be said that Diao San has been fighting for his life, and the result of this duel is not to see who has high skills ☯, but to see who survives to the end and does not fall.
However, judging from the current situation, it was not Diao San who fell, but the other four. If no miracle happens, the outcome of this great war is already decided. And Diao San, who is desperate for his life, who is he defending?
