Chapter 265: Freezing rain on Lake Baikal

"Our actions to cooperate with the military this time can only be carried out in secret, not in an open and honest competition, without any red tape, but a decapitation operation that pays attention to killing with one blow. If the teacher does not agree to return to China, then you must essentially correct your point of view, as long as you can kill that Wang Chan, you will do whatever it takes. ”

Joseph Hoffman owes a debt, and although his words are still respectful, his tone has unconsciously brought out a terrible murderous aura, which makes the whole barracks cold.

"It's not a formal martial arts competition, a decapitation action, and a one-hit kill? After all, the dominant party in this operation is still the army, and we, the martial artists, can only act as the assisting party, assist from the side, and use our personal strength to force Wang Chan to enter the army's sight and accept the encirclement and suppression. However, the real master duel, regardless of life and death, its danger is far above the head-on competition, who lives and who dies is only in a thought, if you want to behead Wang Chan, it is impossible to adopt an ambush and siege strategy in the general sense, otherwise you can't kill many parties with a move, and after an outbreak, there is no spare strength, so you can only be killed by him one by one. Especially Wang Chan, a top master who is proficient in mountain warfare, is even more difficult. He was able to force the Lin family to have nothing to do at home, and he played a large number of agents of the Russian Federal Security Service to applause, and I personally still very outward to fight him next, I hope he will not disappoint me. ”

When Sato Konsai heard Joseph Hoffman's words, he frowned for a moment, and then his eyes flashed, shining like a katana suddenly unsheathed in the sun.

It has always been inextricably linked with Chinese martial arts, especially after World War II, a large number of martial arts documents and materials were looted from China and secretly transported back to China, which has made the martial arts of this book have undergone earth-shaking changes in recent decades.

Even today, there are still many martial artists who participated in the war of aggression against China when they were young, and they are still alive in the world, fully understanding martial arts, and rarely appearing and not known to the world. Take the Sato family as an example, their family was reborn after doing everything possible to obtain the secret transmission of the Liang family's Baguazhang in China and became one of the top families in the martial arts world.

When Sato Jinsai was young, he traveled around the book and perfected his boxing skills, and at the age of forty, he was the first practical master of the book and ascended to the position of the head of the family. But Joseph Hoffman also knew that this Sato Konsai was too old and his physical strength was degrading too quickly, and no matter how good his skills were, he would not be as brave as he used to be.

Once a person is old, his physical functions will go downhill, his skin, flesh, muscles and bones will age, and the strength he can use will be greatly reduced; if he is not proficient in internal kung fu and understands the principle of nourishing qi and maintaining health, the 70-year-old man is already equivalent to being wasted. Experience is abundant, but also physical strength suffers a lot.

The reason why Sato Konsai still seems to be in good spirits, has a strong breath, and can maintain a certain explosive power, is because the Liang School Baguazhang he practiced is an authentic internal boxing. While the Sato family learned this school of palms, they also got the secret qi cultivation kung fu of the Bagua palm.

In fact, Sato Konsai himself is not unclear about the situation of his body! However, Wang Chan has killed several descendants of the Sato family one after another, which has a great impact on the prestige of the Sato family, and if he can't undo all this, after a hundred years of Sato Konsai, his family will also be excluded from the entire martial arts world, and it will plummet.

Therefore, this time, Sato Konsai came to Siberia at the age of 70 to hunt down Wang Chan, and he actually had the belief that he would die in advance. If you don't succeed, you will become a beneficiary!!

"Huh?" Joseph Hoffman saw Sato Konsai's fierce and dazzling gaze on his face, and suddenly his body shook from side to side, naturally removing the momentum that the old man in front of him exerted on him, but because of this, the teacup in his hand was also slightly offset, and a piece of hot water was spilled on his hand and table.

"Your gaze is as sharp as a knife, as it was back then! Look at me, it's like a sharp katana on my forehead! No wonder you want to personally challenge Wang Chan, teacher? It turns out that your boxing skills have returned to the basics, broken through to a higher level, and become a veritable master of war. I seem to have felt this kind of gaze and spirit only in General Zhukov in our Siberian training camp, could it be that you have now broken through the limit and reached the same level as him?"

With just such a glance, Joseph Hoffman already felt the big difference between Sato Konsai and ordinary people.

Joseph Hoffmann was a mad Nazi fanatic at heart, superstitious about violence, and his own strength was also very powerful, he had spent more than 20 years traveling around the world, learning martial arts around the world, and worshipping countless teachers, and Sato Konsai was one of his teachers. I don't know how many bloody battles he has experienced in his life, and in the end, he was put into a Siberian training camp, if his own kung fu was not high enough, he would not have become the second person under Zhukov, opened a demon king concentration camp in the Arctic Ocean base, and became the devil instructor that those demon kings talked about.

The black boxing fighting that prevails in the underground world is equivalent to the "national art" that only kills people in the country, and the real killing and fighting methods in martial arts, in the middle of which dominate for a while, and the strength of the demon king-level boxers who swept the boxing world at their peak can drink Yue Poyu, a domestic master who has achieved great success in boxing.

It's just that black boxing only pays attention to lethality, and does not pay attention to self-recuperation, once the physical strength is past the peak, after the age of forty, the whole person is about to collapse, and the hidden surname damage caused by high-intensity and high-load training in the first half of his life will break out at the same time, so the black boxers who are smart in strength usually do not live long and are not killed in the ring, or they are riddled with diseases after the age of forty-five, and they are daunted with a whimper. This sumo wrestling in this book is similar to the Thai Muay Thai boxing. Joseph Hoffman can teach more than a dozen demon king-level fighters, and his strength will naturally not be simple. Among the masters in the world, there must be a place for him.

"Oh, has General Zhukov in the Siberian training camp also reached such a point?" Sato Konsai's gaze quickly shrank, and in an instant he returned to the state of an old man, and there was no definite answer to Joseph Hoffman's question.

Joseph Hoffman had already regained his composure at this time, still playing with the teacup in his hand, straightened his waist, and said slowly: "I know that the ability to divide martial arts in Asia is very different from other regions, represented by Chinese martial arts, and the theories and knowledge involved are very rich. I studied under my teacher back then, and I used to read many Chinese boxing books collected in your thatched cottage, and practiced hard according to them, and now I can barely be regarded as a master who understands the changes in internal strength. However, I see that your current state seems to have gone beyond the scope of traditional martial arts, and your practice has touched the most mysterious spiritual realm, which is very similar to a word that General Zhukov often mentions to me, that is, the supernatural powers in Chinese religion. "I have also heard that at the end of the Han Dynasty in China, during the Three Kingdoms, there were descendants of Gao Dao Yuji who lived in Yumoto and passed down the knowledge of the five elements of Shengke, which was also the theory that the ninjas of the shogunate era regarded as the golden rule, and derived from it the onmyoji and other professions. I think you should have broken through your own shackles from this aspect and entered the so-called supernatural realm. However, even so, it seems to be a little worse than that Wang Chan, I don't know if the teacher knows Su Hanshan of the Russian Northeast Gang?"

"Su Hanshan, of course I know ....... After listening to Joseph Hoffmann's words, Sato Konsai couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, although the German in front of him had studied karate under him for a while, he obviously did not expect that Joseph Hoffmann would have such a deep understanding of some wild histories in this history that he did not want to recognize.

"I heard that this Su Hanshan is an outcast of the Emei faction in Sichuan, China, and his martial arts are very skillful. However, the Northeast Gang seems to have been subdued by Wang Chan without much effort. ”

"The Northeast Gang is so powerful that even the Russian mafia is unwilling to provoke it, does the teacher really think that this is the case?" Joseph Hoffman's eyes flashed with surprise. It is no secret that the Northeast Gang and Wang Chan turned enemies into friends, and among the information about Wang Chan that he obtained from the Russian political axe, there are some top-secret videos that others cannot get.

As far as I know, Su Hanshan is the leader of the Northeast Gang's Iron Blood Hall, and he is responsible for all matters related to foreign conquests and crusades, but the fights between gangs are mostly guns and weapons now. If it was me in the past, I might still care a little bit, but now, even if Su Hanshan personally makes a move, I can defeat him within ten moves, pure martial arts kung fu, just manpower, in the end, there will be an end, how can it be compared to someone who starts from the spiritual temperament and understands the true mystery of martial arts?"

Sato Konsai obviously didn't know what Su Hanshan's strength was, but he was full of confidence in himself. The implication also reflects the disdain of an orthodox martial artist for the people in the gang.

"In this way, the teacher must not know the real story of this matter, and if you watch these two videos, you will definitely change your original mind. Joseph Hoffman snapped his fingers lightly, and the door opened, and a Russian man walked in from outside, took a laptop and put it in front of the two of them, and then gently clicked on a video file.

This video is the image of Wang Chan in the manor of the Northeast Gang to strongly deter the bosses of the Northeast Gang.

At the beginning, Sato Konsai still didn't think so, and the expression on his face was indifferent without the slightest change, but when he saw Wang Chan blowing casually and blowing the cup into powder, there was already a violent change in his eyes like a storm. In the end, Wang Chan reached out and grabbed the watermelon-sized meteor hammer, and a red knife appeared between his five fingers, and even the teacup in his hand trembled.

can call the head of a martial arts family, his voice changed color, and he unconsciously started to tremble, which shows how big the impact of this video is on the heart of this old man.

The video was not long, and after watching the two videos, Sato Konsai put down the teacup, and didn't care that Joseph Hoffman was still around, just muttering to himself vigorously, constantly muttering: "Exhale into a sword...... Gang into a knife...... All six pulses are connected............ Could it be that the legendary things are true, and is there really a sword immortal in this world who takes the head of a thousand miles of swords? The last words left by the predecessors said that there is a great terror in China, and the martial arts of this book will never be comparable to China...... Is this all true......?"

"Exhale into a sword, and kill people...... General Zhukov also said the same thing when he saw these two videos, so he strictly ordered all the fighters who chased and killed Wang Chan later, not to get too close to the target, just follow behind, and not be thrown off. Joseph Hoffman looked at the irrepressible look of shock on Sato Konsai's face in front of him, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart, only that he felt that the target he needed to capture and kill in this operation was simply too mysterious, and the success of the operation seemed to be between the two sides.

"Our general Zhukov's fighting skills are also derived from an ancient Taoist temple in China, I thank the general for guidance in his spare time, I know that Chinese martial arts, all-encompassing, broad and profound, at the beginning is to pay attention to the muscles and bones, training tendons, bones, skin, and then can go deep into the human body to exercise weak internal organs and intestines, and finally enter the point of refining qi and health preservation, but the most quintessential part is the practice of the three very abstract things of essence, qi and spirit. According to my analysis, this Wang Chan has obviously reached this point now, his fighting kung fu is not only fists and feet, but also special abilities, that is, supernatural powers, not only infinite strength, strong physical strength, but also can do all kinds of things that ordinary humans can't think of. Based on some of the data on these videos and materials, I have every reason to believe that his combat power is equivalent to that of an ancient Tyrannosaurus, and that he is more dexterous, faster, and more powerful. If we want to kill him, we have to join forces!"

Joseph Hoffman seized the opportunity to add strong psychological pressure to Sato Konsai at the right time.

This Joseph Hoffman's vision and insight have obviously reached a certain level, and he has a deep understanding of the essence of Chinese boxing, unlike ordinary people, after watching Wang Chan's video, his first reaction is to stop fighting and dare not be an enemy with it.

What he said just now is also to the point, Chinese martial arts are not divided into inside and outside, the outside is muscles, bones and skin, and the inside is spirited. On the contrary, it is the muscular strength that is most valued in the Western fighting system, and it is not valued by Chinese martial arts.

Compared with muscles alone, no matter how great a person's strength is, it is impossible to be greater than a thousand-pound bull, but a real master can smash the cow's head with one palm, pierce the cow's belly, and play the power of nine cows and two tigers. To put it bluntly, these are the internal strength in boxing, the development of the human body's own hidden physical energy. Therefore, the master who has practiced Chinese boxing has never been too fat, and the muscles do not look exaggerated, but once they do it, they are extremely powerful and unmatched.

This is also the reason why those martial artists and boxers who are older can still have ruddy faces and walk like flying after the age of seventy or eighty. Because they have a strong spirit, thick veins, and strong blood and energy, which fill the body.

And this is exactly the current situation in Sato Konsai's body.

However, he has only stepped into this realm in recent years, and he is far from reaching the point where Wang Chan blows the cup into a fan in the video, so he was really shocked in his heart, and even timidly before he fought, giving birth to a trace of fear of Wang Chan.

He thought that he had attained the Tao in his later years, and through profound accumulation, he had grasped his qi and blood, stopped the decline in physical strength, and finally cultivated his great ability with ninjutsu and was full of confidence. But at this time, he suddenly found that Wang Chan, a Chinese, had always been ahead of him.

There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people! There will never be a shortage of masters in this world, let alone the Chinese land where the dragon and the tiger are hidden.

"Such a person, one-on-one head-to-head, how can anyone stop him? This is still his information a few months ago! Sato-sensei, will you be his opponent? What is even more terrifying is that he seems to have an innate natural instinct that can detect danger in advance, and it is precisely by relying on this intuition that he always throws off the pursuers behind him at the most critical moment, so that the army of several thousand people has nothing to do with him, and there are many powerful firepower and equipment, but they cannot play a role in application. He alone dragged the most powerful special forces of the two countries, more than two hundred martial arts masters, here for dozens of days. From the long cold winter in Siberia to now, it is already spring, the ice of Lake Baikal has melted, and we have not even seen his shadow, such an opponent is really terrible. ”

"The military exercises cannot be postponed indefinitely, and in another week, whether Wang Chan can be found or not, the Chinese and Russian troops will withdraw along the border and in this area, so we can only join forces and launch the strongest decapitation operation against him within the deadline. I have a hunch that he will appear in the next few days...... , there is only one mountain left in the entire mountainous area that has not been searched. ”

Joseph Hoffman's words were heart-wrenching, increasing the pressure in his words little by little.

After a long while, even the water in the teacup became cold, and Sato Konsai suddenly sighed, and his expression seemed to pause suddenly: "We say that we live in an island country, and for thousands of years we have always wanted to have a stable and vast place with infinite resources for future generations to grow up freely, so we have been a vassal to China since the Han and Tang dynasties, and sent a large number of envoys to learn their culture, art of war, and martial arts. But it wasn't until after the Ming and Qing dynasties that I saw a glimmer of possibility, with the right of this behemoth to dialogue on an equal footing, but China is too big, even if the political axe [***] is incompetent, there are countless capable people with lofty ideals in the people, and the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger...... In the end, there was still only a failure! However, in order to curb the red regime in the East, the European and American countries opened up many preferential policies to us, and the economy developed very rapidly, and in 50 years it was enough to catch up with the past few hundred years. At this time, China has been in turmoil, many martial artists who survived the war years died in the cowshed, and some fled abroad with their families, which allowed us to get the greatest space for the development of the martial arts world and opened the dojo to the world. But now that there is such a Wang Chan, who has killed so many descendants of our Sato family, the feud cannot be resolved, and if he doesn't die, my family will be spurned by all the families. So he had to die!"

"For the sake of my children and grandchildren, I agree to cooperate with you, give up the opportunity to fight him head-on, and introduce you to the masters who came with me this time, if you find Wang Chan's traces, you are responsible for planning the plan, and we will work together at that time. However, things must be planned carefully, this Wang Chan has reached the point where he can be predicted, and he is mysterious and mysterious. A little murderous will alarm him. ”

Saying this, Sato Konsai stood up, and there was a silence on his face. Obviously, he was ashamed that he had to abandon the dignity of a martial artist to assassinate Wang Chan.

Joseph Hoffman also stood up and bowed to Sato Konsai: "Teacher, you are a true righteous man, generous and sad like Jing Ke in ancient China, and you are willing to abandon your life's persistence for the sake of future generations! For this reason, I will not live up to your trust, and I will definitely kill this Wang Chan on the shore of Lake Baikal ......." ”

Joseph Hoffman's words flashed in a cold tone like gold and iron, and his expression was resolute.

Suddenly, in a small barracks, there was a murderous .........................

And at this time, before he showed up, he forced the wind outside the mountain to shout that the grass and trees were all soldiers, and called Sato Konsai inexplicably gave birth to the initiator of the tragic feeling of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will not return once he goes to the west".

In addition to the necessary daily practice and meditation, he was engrossed in projecting his spiritual breath into a cloud of silver light in front of him, breathing and breathing.

Wrapped in this silver light was his ancient swordfish intestine sword, which gradually changed upside down and its essence with every breath he breathed and swallowed.

Since the first decision to escape into the mountains, Wang Chan poured all the two Taibai essence qi that had grown to the extreme in his two lungs into the fish intestine sword, and then said that he was spitting, communicating inside and outside, practicing sword weapons, relying on a powerful breath, controlling the Taibai essence to erode into every metal atom in the fish intestine sword, slowly but firmly changing the structure of this sword weapon.

There is no nail in the mountain, and the cold does not know the year!

In this way, in a blink of an eye, the spring flowers bloom in a blink of an eye, and by mid-May, the snow outside the cave begins to melt, and the whole world gradually glows with vitality.

Although Siberia is extremely cold, the temperature in May is still below freezing, especially the melting of snow and ice, absorbing a lot of heat, making the weather more and more cold, and it seems to be colder than winter. But as time passed, the dangerous footsteps seemed to be gradually approaching, and the cave where Wang Chan was hiding.

In the past dozens of days, in fact, no one has searched this mountainous area, people in the cave, Wang Chan can often hear the barking dog barking miles away, fortunately, Wang Chan was fully prepared, in order to deal with the tracking of the hounds, he temporarily held all the breath in his body before entering the cave, and was afraid that it would not be safe, and also caught a few fierce mountain leopards around, threw them outside the cave, and scattered some leopard feces around.

The breath of the beasts in the mountains is the strongest, each has its own predatory area, through this, every time the hounds with a keen sense of smell approach here, they will automatically bypass, dare not approach, but also let Wang Chan have a period of purity.

Up to now, he has devoted himself to practicing the flying sword, and the one-and-a-half-foot-long fish intestine sword has completely lost its specific form and shape at this time, and it looks like a large ball of silver brilliance from the outside, and with Wang Chan's breathing, it continues to tremble, beating and beating, like the heart in a human chest, like a living thing.

His sword weapon has already passed the spiritual surname, and with the Taibai essence in the center, the speed of the sacrifice is much faster than expected. But at the last step, Wang Chan didn't dare to be careless, knowing that there was something wrong with the situation outside, but he could only hold on and didn't dare to give up. Otherwise, if you don't get your breath out, you won't be able to do it, and the hard work you have done in front will be completely in vain.

The orthodox method of sword refining must be practiced at least a hundred times, and the previous process such as collecting medicine, smelting, and so on is extremely complicated, but Wang Chan has two Taibai essences in his body, which are condensed by the condensation of the innate lung gold essence.

Wang Chan is well aware of this. Therefore, in the past dozens of days, he has always stayed in the cave, breathing and breathing every day, and the whole person seems to have entered a state of thoughtlessness.

At this time, there was a sudden boom, and the sky of Siberia was instantly covered with dark clouds, and a series of explosive thunders and lightning tore the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it was a heavy downpour.

Siberia, which had never rained in May or June, suddenly began to rain in a freezing rain!
