Chapter Twenty-Three: Above the Ring

"What's the matter, Senior Brother?" Qi Yue asked cautiously when he saw that Shen Qing suddenly had a bad face.

"Oh, it's nothing, by the way, junior brother, why did you suddenly ask this question?" Shen Qing asked visibly absent-mindedly.

Qi Yue was a little speechless, "This ......" suddenly remembered that he only knew about it because of the system, so he couldn't tell Shen Qing directly.

Shen Qing didn't notice Qi Yue originally, but seeing that Qi Yue seemed to have something unspeakable, in order not to make Qi Yue feel embarrassed, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, everyone has their own secrets, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

"Thank you, senior brother" Qi Yue was very ashamed, the senior brother cared for him everywhere, but he hid something from him. But if you think about it carefully, you are helpless, and there is only one sentence left on your lips.

"The reason why you asked this, you must have seen something, right?" Shen Qing finished speaking and looked at Wei Jiang in the field.

Qi Yue didn't expect Shen Qing to find out, and nodded: "Yes, senior brother, I just vaguely feel that something seems to be wrong with Wei Jiang, but the specific situation is not very clear."

"That's right, as you said, Wei Jiang's situation at this time can be said to be in danger, and it's not too much"

"What, how could it be?" Qi Yue turned his head to look at Wei Jiang in the field, and saw that he didn't look like what Shen Qing said in any way.

"He seems to be intact on the surface, but his body is in a mess, a pure yin and cold true qi is eroding his meridians, and eight or nine out of ten of the internal forces of that body are used to suppress that true qi, not only is the pain of such true qi eroding the meridians very unbearable, this person can endure the pain of eroding the veins and can also behave so calmly, it seems that he is a character" was quite appreciative between words.

"Then Senior Brother, what did you just say about the true qi refer to the internal force?" Qi Yue held back the question in his heart for a long time, and finally took advantage of the situation to ask.

"Yes and no" Shen Qing's answer was ambiguous, and Qi Yue was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Qi Yue didn't understand, he continued to explain in depth: "Internal force refers to the formation of the free qi in the dantian through a series of martial arts methods, and the true qi is the internal force that can be separated from the body to form a substance and has certain special attributes to be called true qi, and the relationship between the two comes from the same source, but the role and ability are very different."

"Then can it be understood that true qi is the form after the internal force is further strengthened?" Qi Yue put forward his own opinion.

Shen Qing said in an appreciative tone: "It can be understood in this way, but it is not exactly the same, as for the specific differences, you will be able to understand it slowly when you cultivate and improve yourself in the future, some things can only be understood but not spoken."

Qi Yue nodded "oh", it was obvious that Qi Yue didn't understand very well at this time.

Shen Qing smiled slightly, "Okay, you don't have to think about these things now, you still think that working so hard to improve your cultivation is the right way"

When Qi Yue heard Shen Qing say this, he suddenly said, "Yes, what's the use of thinking about these now, what the senior brother said is right, it is important to find a way to improve his strength first"

At this time, in the ring, the two people who were in a stalemate had silently raised their momentum to the peak, just looking forward to an opportunity.

In early summer, especially in the evening, the weather can change, and the sun is setting just now, but the sky is darkening in a moment.

The wind rose, and a slight breeze swept the leaves on the ground and fluttered in the air, and when this gust of wind blew into the ring, the leaves in the air obscured the eyes of the two of them.

It is now, the long-awaited moment of the two finally came, and in an instant, the same force under their feet shot out like an arrow from the string, "bang ~ bang" twice, the two took three steps backwards from each other, Tian Heng was slapped in the chest by Wei Jiang, and Wei Jiang was also hit in the right shoulder by Tian Heng's punch, but this did not stop the two, just stood firm and rushed out to each other, fists and palms intersected, you come and go, completely a desperate style of play, the people watching the audience were terrified.

I saw that Tian Heng grabbed Wei Jiang's palm attacking him with a small move, and was about to break it with his backhand, but he didn't expect Wei Jiang to kick Tian Heng's head regardless of the situation, there was no way Tian Heng could only let go of the block, and Wei Jiang resolved the crisis in this way, making Tian Heng is belly fire, and simply learning from Wei Jiang to stop defending.

The stele wrestler spread out, opened and closed with all his strength to attack the vital point of Wei Jiang's body, and after only three or four rounds of fighting, the two of them had already received different degrees of injuries.

Wei Jiang's left finger bone was broken by Tian Heng's small grappling hand, and Tian Heng also stiffened Wei Jiang's three consecutive palms, and his entire chest was slightly dented, breaking at least three or four ribs.

At this time, both the gang members of the Chuanjiang Gang and the Jingfan Gang sweated for the fighting style of the two, where is this competition, it is simply a life.

Zhou Qi, who had just stepped down from the Jingfan Gang, saw that the eldest brother was so desperate, and hurriedly wanted to go up to stop him, but he was held down by one person: "Seventh brother, don't stop me! I'm going to replace the eldest brother! I can't fight like this! You let go of me!"

The man known as the seventh brother said to him with a painful expression: "Ninth brother, why don't I want to replace the eldest brother, but since I have already entered the ring, I must distinguish between high and low, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes, I can't help it, all we can do now is to believe in the eldest brother!"

Hearing Brother Qi say this, Zhou Qi clenched his fists and trembled, but there was no way, as he said, as long as he got into the ring, he had to abide by the rules, otherwise he would become a public enemy of the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that Zhou Qi seemed to be quiet, he turned to look at the ring, the battle was still fierce, and after a while, the injuries of the two worsened, Wei Jiang's left shoulder was dislocated and he couldn't move, Tian Heng's right leg knee was kicked and shattered by Wei Jiang, and his mobility was obviously greatly reduced, so he could only continue to fight with Wei Jiang through the advantage of his upper body.

Chen Ning, who was in the distance, saw that Wei Jiang's injuries were getting worse again, and said with some concern: "Cousin, then Wei Jiang has an old relationship with my father, if his life is in danger for a while, can you help save him?"

Shen Qing also saw the situation of the two at this time, even Shen Qing, an old Jianghu like him, rarely saw such a desperate style of play, and it could be seen that the victory and defeat would be over within seven or eight rounds if he continued to fight like this, but at this time, listening to Chen Ning's pleading, he hesitated a little, "Cousin, if the duel in the ring is not decided, others cannot interfere, so ......" Shen Qing did not continue, the meaning was obvious, and he couldn't help Wei Jiang.

"Cousin, I didn't ask you to help him directly, but if he loses later, can you try to keep him from dying?"

When Shen Qing heard Chen Ning say this, he didn't rush to refuse, he thought for a while and said, "Well, if he can't do it for a while, I can use my true qi to temporarily protect his heart."

"Thank you, cousin!" Hearing Shen Qing say this, Chen Ning was relieved.

I thought that the battle was about to end, but with a loud "bang!~~" two figures flew out of the center of the ring to both sides.

A mouthful of blood of "poof~" spat out from Wei Jiang's mouth, but the strange thing was that the blood that should have been hot splattered on the ground instantly froze.

On the other side, Tian Heng, who retreated again and again, and finally stopped his strength, saw this scene and was immediately surprised: "This is!"

Wei Jiang felt much more comfortable after spitting out a mouthful of blood, but stood up but did not speak.

"I see, no wonder when I fought with you just now, I obviously felt that the purity of your internal force was far above mine, but the follow-up weakness was difficult to last, it turned out that your body has been eroded by the cold ice true qi, it seems that you Jingfan Gang can't win today, how about the Wei gang leader, don't admit defeat" Although Tian Heng's situation was not very good, when he saw Wei Jiang's physical condition, he became relaxed.

"Hmph, Wei is indeed seriously injured, but so what, didn't the Tian Gang Master know that he had won so much at the last moment?" Wei Jiang asked rhetorically after wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth with his cuffs.

"Haha, Gang Leader Wei, if you weren't seriously injured today, then Tian Mou is indeed not Gang Leader Wei's opponent, but with Gang Leader Wei's current situation, to put it mildly, whether you would rather survive or not has to say two, how can you win me, you better admit defeat early and step down to treat your injuries" Tian Heng laughed and said.

Wei Jiang wanted to reply a sentence or two, but he suddenly felt that the true qi in his body suddenly went up, and he couldn't suppress it, so he didn't care about arguing with Tian Heng, and hurriedly used all his internal force to suppress the true qi.

"Oh no! I just resisted Tian Heng's trick and now my injuries are aggravated, and my true qi is a little backlash, what should I do? The current situation does not allow me to slowly exercise my pranayama, I have to think of a way quickly, otherwise once Tian Heng sees his situation later, I don't have the slightest strength to resist at all" He was extremely anxious, but he knew that the more he was now, the more calm he had to be.

Tian Heng closed his eyes when he saw that Wei Jiang suddenly ignored him, as if he was preparing something, "What's the matter, why did he suddenly not move, could it be that he was accumulating internal strength and preparing to lure me over to give me a surprise attack" was a little uncertain, but it was better to be cautious after the habit he had developed over the years, and he took two steps back and distanced himself from Wei Jiang, and his internal force was scattered all over his body, ready to dodge or defend at any time.

Wei Jiang was overjoyed when he saw that his acting skills had successfully scared Tian Heng, and while secretly breathing, he was thinking of a way, "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to me, even if I forcibly attack regardless of my true qi, I am afraid that Tian Heng will be able to take this blow with his situation at this time, but after a blow, even if Tian Heng does not fight back, I will lose, what should I do?"

No matter how anxious he was in his heart, he didn't dare to show his feet, "Cold Ice True Qi, this hateful Cold Ice True Qi, if it weren't for it, today's situation wouldn't be like this"

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Jiang's heart suddenly moved, "That's right, this cold ice true qi in my body is extremely strong, even I can't suppress it, if I can force out a trace of taking the opportunity to enter Tian Heng's body, I will definitely not be able to resist it with his internal strength at that time."
