Chapter 22 The most difficult enemy in the world! (5600)
Xu Xing's kick not only kicked Zhu Polong away, but also vented the depression that had been accumulated in his heart for several years.
At this moment, the cold, damp darkness and oppression that bound his chest broke like a rope.
In Buddhist terms, this is called overcoming demonic obstacles.
After passing this level, Xu Xing's mind became much clearer and his spirit became highly active.
He could predict that when he returned to Taizhou City and practiced a little bit, his boxing realm would definitely improve a lot.
It's a pity...
Xu Xing looked into the deep forest and sighed with some regret.
When he kicked out just now, his physical strength had been exhausted, so even if he tried his best, he still couldn't kill him with one blow.
He didn't even feel like he had hit a person, but rather like he had hit a big ball made of rattan steel wires.
What a pity, what a pity.
In the chase just now, although Xu Xing always had the upper hand and was kicking from a high position, his two calves were also bruised and swollen by Zhu Polong, making it difficult for him to move forward anymore.
Zhu Polong's body with ribs and ribs was too tough for Xu Xing.
In fact, since Zhu Polong trained his muscles and bones to achieve the "Qiu Jin Ban Rib", he has been constantly stacking hundreds of kilograms of heavy stone slabs on his chest during his daily practice to exercise his breathing and internal organs.
At his current level, even if he presses ten stone slabs, which is about six thousand kilograms, he can breathe freely. When he weighs eight thousand kilograms, his breathing will become slightly unsmooth and his energy will be sluggish.
Even the most important part of the chest has been trained to this level. Such muscles and bones are simply terrifying to the extreme. One can imagine how strong his energy is and how fast his movements are.
If this kind of powerful man, who moves like a ghost, is put on the battlefield, he will naturally run rampant and be invincible.
This is why Zhu Polong dared to go straight to Qi Jiguang's Xiangshan camp with more than 20 great boxers. As long as he is not a great boxer, numbers no longer mean much to him.
If the "Crocodile God of the Four Seas" hadn't used his "Qiu Rib Rib" too much in the recent battle against Qi Jiguang, making it difficult for him to fight for a long time, Xu Xing's chance of winning in today's battle would have been no more than 30%.
But even so, he still resisted dozens of Xu Xing's kicks without being knocked down.
It is precisely because of this kind of physique that Zhu Polong dared to use the most ferocious force regardless of the empty door in the last punch.
However, Xu Xing still had the energy to feel pity, but Zhu Polong no longer had any thoughts to think about it.
After being kicked by Xu Xing, Zhu Polong used his strength and felt a tearing pain in his lower abdomen.
His face turned red and his eyes were bloodshot. He endured the severe pain, twisted his waist and turned over, causing his back to hit a big tree.
With a loud bang, the rough bark of the tree exploded and splashed everywhere. Countless wood chips, branches, leaves and floating soil and dust were shaken up and filled the surrounding area.
With this big tree as a buffer, Zhu Polong finally slipped down and touched the ground with his feet.
He raised his head, looked at Xu Xing, who was also slowly landing, and said ferociously:
"Er Yue's fist? Good! But you are arrogant and not as strong as him. He can escape from his adoptive father, but you can't!"
Although Xu Xing was also pale and exhausted, he was much better than Zhu Polong.
Hearing this, he smiled carelessly and didn't even bother to answer. He just adjusted his breathing and regained his strength as soon as possible.
Seeing Xu Xing's appearance, Zhu Polong sneered:
"You killed the officials in Hangzhou and then killed my people. The government and the pirates couldn't tolerate you. The world is so big. No matter how good your boxing skills are, where can you go?"
In the past few days since he came ashore, Zhu Polong has collected a lot of information and is well aware of major events in the southeast.
When it comes to the word "big event", the one that has been widely circulated and has the deepest influence recently is undoubtedly the incident of Xu Tafa, a disciple of Yue Duhai, who made a big fuss in the Si Yamen Prison and assassinated two high-ranking officials, Zheng Michang and He Maocai.
Now that they had a fight, Zhu Polong naturally recognized Xu Xing's identity.
Xu Xing raised his eyes and said calmly:
"That's what they deserve."
Upon hearing this answer that seemed to be a matter of course, Zhu Polong's pupils shrank and his nose twitched, as if he smelled a strong smell of blood.
Even though he was boiling with murderous intent, he couldn't help but secretly praise it.
Second Master Yue’s apprentice is indeed very courageous!
The battlefield was silent for a moment, both of them knew that time was running out, and the next step was the final fight.
In the heyday of the Grandmaster, even if he didn't throw any punches, he could intimidate great boxers and overwhelm ordinary warriors just by relying on his fists and willpower.
But the spirit of boxing is also rooted in the body. With Zhu Polong and Xu Xing now in a state of almost losing both sides, it is already delusional to expect to use boxing to defeat the enemy.
They all chose to restrain their punches and focus entirely on controlling their limbs. They temporarily overcame the impact of their injuries and used pure physical strength and boxing skills to make the final push.
Now, they don't look like two masters who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, but like two beasts covered with bruises and with little physical strength left. They are testing each other with bared teeth, waiting for each other to reveal their flaws, so that they can kill them with one blow.
However, Xu Xing knew that if he kept waiting, he would definitely be the loser.
Because he had sensed that Zhu Polong's great boxers were coming from all directions.
Zhu Polong obviously knew this, so he assumed a defensive posture of waiting.
His back was against the tree, his right hand stood up like a shield, his posture was very low, his body was very stable, his front legs were like bows, his hind legs were pointed to the ground, and his heels were raised, and his momentum was as steady as a mountain.
Seeing Zhu Polong acting like this, Xu Xing understood that even though he had not fully recovered, he had to take action.
With a firm mind, Xu Xingyun used the method of generating energy from the heavens. His heart beat violently, and the skin and flesh on his chest undulated like waves. There were layers of dull sounds, like the beating of heavenly drums, and endless thunder.
He has unleashed his whole body's potential, and he must complete his efforts in one battle!
Xu Xing pushed his back foot hard on the mountain wall. Where the sole of his foot passed, a large piece of the mountain wall was dented. The rock shattered with a roar, the cracks were dense like a spider web, and a deep pit exploded in the middle.
With this power, his whole body shot out, the air vibrated and exploded continuously, and the air flow rushed to both sides like a split tide.
It can be seen how terrifying the power of this sprint is. Even if he is exhausted, Xu Xing is enough to break open a heavy city gate.
This is the explosive power of a grandmaster.
But when Zhu Polong saw him coming, he was not surprised but happy. He swallowed his breath suddenly, his chest bulged, his body expanded like a giant spirit holding up the sky, and his hands suddenly beat down, as if he wanted to hammer Xu Xing in one fell swoop. kill!
The reason why Zhu Polong put up a defensive posture was to induce Xu Xing to have the mentality of quick victory and complete the victory in one battle.
He calculated very clearly that at this moment, no matter how strong the opponent's perception was, he would not be able to change his moves and could only fight him head-on.
This is Zhu Polong’s area of strength!
The air flow swept across like a wave, and even the soft soil was forced by this strong wind to sink an inch, forming a circular depression. The dust and grass clippings were spread and swept in all directions.
Because he has mastered the different forms of ribs and ribs, Zhu Polong's muscles and bones are so strong that he is almost invincible even in the world.
Therefore, he is not afraid of injuring himself if he exerts too much force, and is able to perform explosive punches far beyond those of ordinary masters.
Zhu Polong also studied Yue Buhai's Dapeng Mingwang Fist quite a bit. He knew that although this kind of boxing technique can charge very far and has infinite power, it consumes a lot of physical energy because it requires both feet to leave the ground and fly into the air to attack.
Xu Xing's killing just now was in line with this. From the moment he started, he was forced to retreat steadily and was surrounded by dangers.
But today is different from the past. With Xu Xing's current state, even if he uses this kind of movement technique, his speed will definitely not be as fast as before.
It was precisely because of these factors that Zhu Polong chose to use the beating method with both hands, but Xu Xing once again exceeded his expectations.
Xu Xing did not choose to raise his body, but dived close to the ground, swooping down and killing.
This is not the movement method of Dapeng spreading its wings, but the way of dragon and snake transformation that Xu Xing understood from the Sanfeng Blood Sutra and the movement methods of the two brothers Inoue Jujuro and Inoue Jusanro.
The technique of Dapeng Spreading Wings requires people to really run, using the muscles and bones of the whole body, especially the shoulder blades and back, to generate strength and drive the whole body to rush forward.
This dragon-shaped pace is completely different. The focus is on the step distance and the reaction force rising from the ground after each step falls.
The key point is to penetrate the whole body and train the skin, flesh, muscles and bones of the human body into one body, turning it into a crossbow arrow flying close to the ground.
Only in this way can all the reaction force that would otherwise be wasted on various joints and muscle links be utilized.
Xu Xing achieved this effect by turning his skin into a rubber band, tightly binding muscles, bones and even internal organs.
Although this kind of pace is not as powerful as the roc spreading its wings, it is more long-lasting and suitable for long-distance attacks and conserving physical strength.
Zhu Polong saw that during the whole process of Xu Xing, the height of his shoulders remained unchanged, as if he was not touching the ground at all, and he was flying towards the ground with flowing clouds and flowing water.
Xu Xing's still intact left hand was always hanging behind his back, like an eagle gathering its wings, and like it was dragging a thick and heavy Spring and Autumn sword.
This is a precursor to takeoff and a process of building momentum.
At this moment, Zhu Polong had just raised his hands, with an angry look on his face and a fierce look on his face, but he had not yet smashed them down.
At the moment of misalignment, Xu Xing's whole body sank, the fascia around his body stretched to the limit, then suddenly relaxed, and he threw out his left hand violently. Just like an eagle spreading its wings, spinning its body, and exploring its claws!
This is another change in Dapeng Mingwang's boxing besides grappling. It has both the fierce and dangerous tearing force and the hidden sharp knife-drag force.
With Xu Xing's current achievements in the extreme realm of skin refining, at this moment, the changes in punch strength that he can produce are even more numerous and unpredictable than those of his master Yue Buhai.
One split, one press, one drag, one pull, the four forces surge like a river, pushing one wave after another. In the rolling back and forth, they accumulate surging power, overlapping one after another, rising continuously, until they swallow up all obstacles!
There was a flash of blood, and the skin and tendons under Zhu Polong's armpits had been cut off. The beating force was slightly slower, allowing Xu Xing to pass him by without any damage.
Only then did a long wave of air appear between the two of them. There was no sound or explosion of wind, only a sharp howl through the air.
This is a sound that usually occurs when the sword is swung extremely fast, but Xu Xing actually used only one arm to achieve such an effect!
Immediately afterwards, the big tree behind Zhu Polong suddenly broke from it, and the thick trunk fell heavily to the ground, shaking up the dust all over the sky, like an overwhelming sandstorm, filling the surrounding area.
In the smoke, figures jumped up from the tree trunks in all directions, shouting and chasing each other.
Xu Xing took a deep breath. The surrounding scenery seemed to have faded from his eyes. All he could see was the road under his feet and the obstacles on both sides.
When the seven great boxers rushed to attack, they saw only a figure passing through the forest and rushing away.
During this process, the man was not affected by the surrounding momentum at all, nor did he have any surprises or misjudgments, and chose the most correct and appropriate path.
Everyone calmed down, as if what they saw was not a person, but a long wave of breaking waves, crossing the vast ocean, dazzling and gone, beyond their reach.
Only a long roar came in the distance, reaching far and wide, echoing in the empty valley, resounding throughout the heaven and earth.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Zhu Polong, leave your head here for now, and then come and get it when Xu is free!"
These people are all great boxers. Once they invest too much in boxing, it is difficult not to admire the strong. Otherwise, why would they join Zhu Polong's command?
But now that they saw Xu Xing acting like this, even though they knew he was their rival, they couldn't help but be fascinated by him.
After punching his own crocodile on the head, he can still escape from the heavy encirclement. How cool is this?
At this time, Zhu Polong also struggled to stand up.
He looked in the direction where Xu Xingyuan was going. He didn't have any of the arrogance and anger during the battle, and said extremely calmly:
"That's the second master's apprentice. If you can't catch up, help me back first and we'll discuss it later."
As soon as this voice came out, several great boxers could not help but be shocked.
When they turned around and saw Zhu Polong covered in blood and almost unable to stand still, they felt indescribable horror.
In the hearts of these pirates, the "crocodile head" has always been a symbol of invincibility. How has it ever been reduced to such a miserable situation? !
Several great boxers did not dare to express their anger, so they quickly ran to Zhu Polong's side and helped him towards the stronghold.
When they walked to the big tree, they were horrified to find that the disconnected position of the trunk was as smooth as a mirror. It had been cut directly, and the circular wooden texture could be clearly seen.
The power of this sword is simply appalling. Even if these people are all great boxers from a famous town, seeing this scene would make their hair stand on end.
They all couldn't help but think about the same question.
If this knife comes towards me, how should I resist?
No matter how you deduce it, there is only one answer, and that is that it cannot be stopped, resisted, and even escaped.
Now, the surprise of these great boxers at Zhu Polong's defeat was replaced by another kind of admiration.
The body with a crocodile head can even withstand such a slashing attack. It is indeed worthy of the title of "Crocodile God of the Four Seas"!
Zhu Polong didn't pay attention to the changes in the expressions of his men. He just lowered his head and ordered while being helped forward:
"That man's injuries are less severe than mine. Let the others withdraw as well. Forget it if we can't find Qi Jiguang. We should return to Xiangshan City first to avoid being defeated by him one by one. We can't suffer any more losses."
Zhu Polong made his decision very quickly, making decisions when he needed to, without any hesitation, showing his extraordinary calmness.
A great boxer who looked like a scholar suddenly said:
"Although this man is the second master's apprentice, his actions are much crueler than the second master. He killed two high-ranking and third-rank officials in one move and offended us. The situation is definitely not good.
However, the government has strict rules and regulations, and they probably really can't tolerate him. It's different here. Although a few great boxers died, if we can win over this one, everything will be worth it. ”
These great boxers under Zhu Polong had also heard about the fact that Yue Duhai's disciples came back to the world and killed two high-ranking and third-rank officials in a row.
After hearing these words, the expressions of the other great boxers changed.
They really couldn't imagine that this scholar would dare to put forward such an outrageous opinion at such a time.
Are you really not afraid of being beaten to death?
The scholar was not moved at all, because he knew that although his "crocodile head" looked evil, he was almost never emotional, had a broad mind, and was quite tolerant.
Few people know that before Zhu Tiandu truly became famous, Zhu Polong was not only his adopted son, but also his mastermind.
When Zhu Polong first led his people to land in the Wonu Kingdom, those swordsmen and warriors also humiliated Zhu Polong in every possible way and even assassinated him many times.
In the end, Zhu Polong still accepted these Japanese slaves and tried his best to allow the Japanese slaves to hold important positions in the thirty-six ships, which finally made this group of people give up.
Therefore, the scholar believes that if he can really win over this master, Zhu Polong will definitely ignore the past grudges, let alone the cost.
Zhu Polong was not angry as expected, he only praised:
"Yes, when we become pirates, we must have such a mind that can accommodate the world.
Even if he is an enemy of life and death, as long as he can be used by me, why not tolerate him? ”
As soon as he changed the topic, he was like a teacher who is best at preaching and teaching, and he followed the instructions:
"However, this man is aloof and has the arrogance to look down on the world. It's not that I can't tolerate him, but that he can't tolerate us pirates.
It was precisely for this reason that the Second Master Yue left in anger.
If you want to be in charge of something independently, you must understand that as the person in charge, in addition to tolerance, you must also have the ability to make decisions.
It is necessary to distinguish clearly who can be won over and who must be killed with all possible means, so that resources will not be wasted. ”
Although this group of great boxers on the sea can fight, few of them have brains, so Zhu Polong goes deep into the southeastern martial arts.
This move was not only to instigate masters who had long been dissatisfied with the imperial court, but also to discover talents who could be used.
This scholar is such a smart person with excellent skills and a flexible mind. Naturally, Zhu Polong would not hesitate to give him some advice.
After hearing this, the scholar couldn't help but nod his head. After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"Then is this person an opponent that we must try our best to eradicate at any cost?"
Zhu Polong made his judgment categorically word by word:
"If he becomes our enemy regardless of the cost, he will be the most difficult enemy in the world."
Scholar Ben was still thinking about the weight of this description, and then heard Zhu Polong say:
"When my adoptive father comes out of confinement, I will ask his old man to join me in taking action. We must kill this man."
The last words were like a thunder, piercing through everyone's chests. Even if they trusted Zhu Polong again, they couldn't help but have different expressions on their faces.
Zhu Polong didn't care about them, he just said:
"But for the time being, there is no such chance.
There has been a lot of turmoil in the Japanese slave country recently, so the capture of Taizhou should be the first priority. ”
——
The same exchange also happened in Taizhou City.
Xu Wei squinted his eyes, looked at the mountain and river situation map in front of him, twisted his beard and said:
"Zhu Tiandu took control of the Japanese slave country, in order to frighten it with force, put it in chaos, and lure it to gain.
First of all, the most direct way to establish authority is to assassinate anyone who refuses to obey him. He also beat all the masters in the Japanese slave country back then to prove that his boxing skills were invincible.
Then there is the alliance of vertical and horizontal alliances. Whoever is more powerful will help others fight against him, keeping the situation in the Wonu Kingdom in a state of chaos.
Finally, they led the Japanese slaves to the southeast, burned, killed, looted, and made a fortune with them.
Combining the three, he could force many princes in the Japanese slave country to provide money, food and manpower to the thirty-six ships.
But after he landed in Xiangshan, this situation became difficult to maintain.
The big names in the Japanese slave country are all ambitious people. Because we have been on good defense recently, the wealth plundered by the pirates from the southeast can no longer satisfy the appetite of these people.
These famous names had been suppressed by him for too long, and they were holding fire in their hearts, but they didn't have the courage to really go against Zhu Tiandu.
Therefore, these people probably want to take this opportunity to take a breather and grab more territory, so that they can have the confidence to negotiate terms with Zhu Tiandu in the future. ”
Hu Zongxian nodded and said:
"But if Zhu Tiandu can conquer Taizhou in one go, these famous Japanese slaves will no longer limit their sights to one corner, but will want to share the pie with him."
Xu Wei nodded heavily.
"Because of this, time is the key to this war."
Suddenly, a clerk came in hurriedly and reported:
"Mr. Xu, there is a beggar in the Yamen who says he is your nephew and wants to see you."
"Huh?!"
