Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 135

Wang Chao’s Soaring Pound had revealed his true strength.

Sensing the gust of wind that had blown up, Duan Guochao knew that this Soaring Pound would be something even his Iron Body would not be able to withstand.

Even with the Iron Body, he wouldn’t be able to take such a strong fist without any damages.

Even if the target was an actual man of iron, Wang Chao’s fist would be enough to shatter them.

Hua! Duan Guochao’s two hands moved away and then together. His legs moved forward before twisting his body around to dodge the Soaring Pound. This was the “Yellow Dragon Overturn” of the Subduing Dragon Arhat Boxing.

After the “Dragon Overturn” was the “Dragon’s Searching Claw”, which was also called the “The Dragon’s Claw Searches the Cloud.”

Borrowing the power from when he had turned around, Duan Guochao’s hand had silently probed outwards towards Wang Chao’s waist. Without a sign, his hand had been like the spring rain in gentleness.

“The Dragon’s Claw Searches the Cloud”. The Clear Jin was as soft as the clouds, and the true killing move when the claw strikes out with the thousands of needles of Hidden Jin.

This move placed emphasis on two words. One was “clouds”, and the other was “searches”. One had to understand the meaning of both in order to understand the cleverness. “cloud” is to reflect the cloud with the body and turnover high in the sky while “search” is to use the claw in accordance.

This sequence of overturn, twisting, deliverance of strength, and claw movement was the latest change in his pounce forward. It was also his most genuine of trump cards.

The soft Clear Jin and the hard Hidden Jin. One style, two Jins, and no sound. It was similar to Liao Junhua’s killing “Hidden Leg” that could be classified as a sure-fire killing technique.

Duan Guochao had experienced hundreds of battles and accomplished countless of missions. He had killed far more people than Wang Chao and had accumulated far more experience. He had forced many of his opponents into a dead end without chance of retaliation.

Otherwise, he would be undeserving of the number on disciple of Shaolin or the title of “National Arhat”.

If not for his level of martial arts being noticed by the Ministry of State Security, his name would not have been repressed. In the current martial arts world of Southeast Asia, the number one spot would have gone to either Chen Aiyang or him.

It was also because he knew that he was strong that he wished to break ties with the Ministry of State Security. With his own strength in martial arts and connections with the Shaolin Temple, then at the very least, he would become a rich person, or possibly a martial arts celebrity in the movies industry like Hollywood. It would pay better than the Ministry of State Security, and he wouldn’t have to go through as many hardships as he did.

But Wang Chao’s skill in Taichi was honed by practicing underwater. With the hidden currents attacking him this way and that without a sound, Wang Chao had learned to neutralize them all one by one.

So Wang Chao already knew that this “The Dragon’s Claw Searches the Clouds” was going for his waist and eye.

His opponent hadn’t moved upwards, but Wang Chao’s body had already instinctively thought of it.

The “Parry and Punch” began to build up power in the waist before being discharged.

Long before, Wang Chao had already comprehended the way of Transforming Jin’s “Loosen the muscles, attack with the pores, and empty the mind.” When the mind was blank, then one would be able to be like the cicada that would move before feeling the autumn wind.

But having a sudden enlightenment of the phrase and allowing the body to fully experience it were two different things.

A moment’s enlightenment could increase one’s prowess in martial arts like burning cosmos in the Saint Seiya manga. Wang Chao had naturally understood, but he couldn’t fully show it in an actual match.

But in his time practicing underwater, his distance towards the Transforming Jin realm drew closer and closer. By now, it was only a matter of time.

While Duan Guochao’s “The Dragon’s Claw Searches the Clouds” was exceptionally delicate and concealed its killing potential, it was not enough to escape Wang Chao’s instinct.

“Bang!” The “Parry and Punch” and the “Dragon’s Searching Claw” were now 5 inches from clashing. When Duan Guochao drew close to the fist, he immediately felt his entire body jolt and his blood surge.

“What a fierce Hammer Jin!” A thought flashed through Duan Guochao’s mind before leaving. He hadn’t any more time to think and immediately moved to grab the fist and crush it.

But the “Dragon’s Claw Searches the Clouds” placed emphasis on being graceful during the searching moment. It was only when the claw made contact that it would emit Hidden Jin. Against the fierce Hammer Jin, it was naturally insufficient.

In the hold, Wang Chao’s arm shook before throwing off the grab on him.

Afterwards, Wang Chao’s twin fists began to move. The earth began to quake, and the building began to shake! The “Chain Pound” began to unleash again and again in all directions with a rippling of his muscles and a gust of wind. The wind had been strong and explosive and his vigor had been like a rainbow.

And now, Wang Chao had finally taken the upper hand!

The Dragon’s Claw Searches the Clouds was a killing move. If it did not kill, then all that was left was to be killed. Duan Guochao had been greatly wishing for Wang Chao to be crippled and did not anticipate him to be so tough and hold his ground.

This had been able due to Wang Chao’s long breath. After training for so long underwater, his lungs had been strengthened by a large amount.

Wang Chao’s Pounding Hammer Jin was practically unmatched.

With a single blow, Duan Guochao had felt his blood billow without calm. And now being pressured with the “Chain Pound”, he didn’t dare continue attacking and could only retreat. He had taken a leaf out of Wang Chao’s book and used the wide open space to evade.

But for what reason would Wang Chao let him? When he had done the same, he had been prepared for a countermeasure. After another three Chain Pounds, Wang Chao suddenly stopped before his fist had turned into a palm. His body flickered as he swam forward almost like a fish. In an instant he had cut off Duan Guochao’s backwards retreat.

He had changed from hard to soft, and from Taichi to Baguazhang. It was a seamless transition that was immaculate in execution. It could even be said that in Wang Chao’s entire life, this was his most proudest of strikes.

When Wang Chao had cut him off, Duan Guochao knew that the situation had not looked good. But he did not panic thanks to his experience. His Iron Body began to swell in strength all the way to the very highest level!

His white sportswear began to swell as if the muscles beneath had threatened to tear it apart!

Bang! It was a grab. Despite whatever change Wang Chao would make, he would do a “Throat Hold” and grab the genitals–the vitals of Wang Chao.

But Wang Chao didn’t shrink back at all! Instead, his fists rose! One hand unleashed the “Under Elbow Punch” upwards and the other a “Lower Point Punch” downwards to meet with Duan Guochao blow for blow.

His opponent had practiced the Iron Body and underwent resistance training. But Wang Chao had practiced hard against hard, and firm against firm. It was up to Duan Guochao’s amazing Iron Body, or Wang Chao’s unyielding Five Hammers of Taichi.

Bang bang bang! Fist met fist, and despite his Iron Body, Duan Guochao felt his blood surge as a result of his opponent’s hard rotation Jin.

As long as Wang Chao had the upper hand, then there would be very little people in the world that could defend against him.

The Hammer had become a Pound as Wang Chao’s hands turned to the appropriate posture after shocking Duan Guochao. His legs stamped forward in an abrupt charge. His fists grew even more powerful as if the strength of a rampaging horse had been contained in his body. Each blow had been reminiscent of the power of a stampeding horse .

Duan Guochao’s heart had been like till water. As he dodged left and right, he pondered deeply on a method to escape from this.

After several blows, just as Duan Guochao was about to make a move, he suddenly felt the pressure on him decrease as his opponent had suddenly soared into the air like a sparrow. Then, with three kicks, Wang Chao struck at Duan Guochao’s chest.

“No!” Duan Guochao’s hands moved to protect his chest, but it had been blown apart by Wang Chao’s kick before the next one had stamped clearly onto his chest. With a bang, his Iron Body had been shattered.

Duan Guochao had only felt his strength leave his body as the dark green color fade away from his skin. Then, the third kick of Wang Chao had landed accurately on his throat.

Crack! After his Iron Body had been shattered, Duan Guochao’s throat had been broken from Wang Chao’s kick. His neckbone had shattered, and his neck had caved in. Flying five meters back, Duan Guochao’s body struck against the wall before sliding down without a single breath.

His death had been quick. He hadn’t even had time to say a word.

After being hit by Wang Chao’s “Flying Horse Treading on Sparrow”, then even a man of iron would be blown apart.

“Brother Duan!” When Chen Ke saw Duan Guochao fly away, she wasn’t able to see whether or not he had died. All he knew was that he was injured. With a swishing movement, she pulled out her gun to fire towards Wang Chao and pounce to Duan Guochao.

In her heart, Duan Guochao was an undefeatable god of war. To suddenly lose here, her heart wasn’t able to handle it.

Bang! At the same time Chen ke shot her gun, a bullet struck against the cement ground while Wang Chao disappeared from sight. In the next moment, she saw a green blur right in front of her as Wang Chao reappeared with his hands in a position to block her.

“That is the Blocking Blow of Taichi….” Chen Ke hadn’t been able to finish her thought before she had been sent flying back due to the “Blocking Blow” across the hall and into the glass. Crashing through it, her body landed upon the glass fragments in a bloody mess, whether she was alive or dead, no one knew.

In the battle between he and Duan Guochao, Wang Chao had lost plenty of strength. But he wasn’t as tired as from the battle he had with Yong He and Yong Bao along with the two gunners from yesterday. After all, there was no threat of gunfire during the match here.

But in the end, Chen Ke had brought out her gun. But because she had fired in a state of disorder, her aim hadn’t been very accurate and so Wang Chao was easily able to dodge and return the favor.

Against a gun, Wang Chao would not ease up.

After a bullet, if one went soft against the fairer sex and refused to raise a hand, then it would be the same as taking arsenic and endangering your own life.

At the same time, Ling Dong had naturally taken out his own gun and to fire at the same time as Chen Ke on the other side.

But after Wang Chao had reappeared at Chen Ke’s side, Ling Dong had hesitated to fire. He was afraid of accidentally shooting Chen Ke. And with this reaction, he was now too late.

“Clatter!” The sound of Ling Dong’s gun clattering to the ground could be heard as a bullet had shot straight through his hand.

Lin Yanan had finally made her move. With a swift pull of her own gun, she had fired to disarm Ling Dong.

But Ling Dong was well deserving to be considered a trained agent. Holding his wrist, his leg stamped down on the gun so that it would be kicked up. But in that moment, Wang Chao had already drawn close. Blocking his wrist, Wang Chao wrestled the gun away from him and then released a Returning Body Palm. Like Chen Ke, he was sent flying into the nearby glass of the hall before landing motionlessly on the other side on the glass.
