Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 9: Bajiquan plus Piguazhang, even gods and ghosts are afraid!
Gao Zhenbei roared, clenched his fists, palms facing each other, knuckles pointing to the left and right, crossed his arms in front of his chest, elbows lowered to his ribs.

Bajiquan Cross Force!
The essence of Bajiquan permeates all techniques, including fist, palm, and elbow strikes, embodying the most powerful and fierce strength.

We must confront Chen Zhan head-on!

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, Gao Zhenbei's figure, which had just leaped over the brick wall, was blasted back.

Chen Zhan followed closely behind, seizing the initiative with a single punch, his momentum unstoppable, giving his opponent no chance to catch his breath.

He darted over the wall and got a clear look at the other person's attire.

He wore a long black and blue robe, but not a police uniform. He had a black stick, about a foot long, hanging from his waist, similar to a police baton, but the material was unclear.

Chen Zhan glanced around and quickly understood the situation: there was only a stick at his waist, with no bulges on either side, and no gun!
Whether you didn't bring it or didn't have it at all, it's a good thing.

Push off the ground forward with the momentum, and the Tai Chi Five Star Pyramid is not just a single punch!
The right hand is turned into a fist with the palm facing outward and the knuckles facing backward. The wrist is slightly rotated inward, and the arm is in an arc. The left hand is extended to the lower left with the palm facing outward and the fingers slightly spread, as if "stirring water" to exert force.

He twisted his body and still unleashed both hammers simultaneously, a side-spinning punch!

After rotating his body, Dazhui (GV14) became like a dragon, suddenly unleashing its power with explosive and violent momentum.

"Hahaha, fierce Bajiquan, ferocious Bajiquan, seeing you today is not as good as hearing about you."

Chen Zhan's move was accompanied by words, and Gao Zhenbei, who was trying to dodge the hammer, paused for a moment and his brow twitched a few times.

We've been provoked!

His moves were inherently fierce, and Chen Zhan countered with equal force. If he dodged, it would be tantamount to admitting that Bajiquan was not as fierce as Taijiquan.

"Very well, very well, Tai Chi Five Hammers, let's see how much of Wu Yuxiang's true teachings you have!"

Wu Yuxiang was also a founding father of Tai Chi, and his hammer technique was the most ferocious.

Gao Zhenbei uses his hands to relax his muscles and bones, spreads his legs apart, stretches his posture, and then uses his hands and feet to form a cross shape.

But instead of simply defending, they launched a fierce attack, charging forward relentlessly.

Facing Chen Zhan's side punch, he took two more steps, shook his hips and waist, and thrust his elbows forward, turning his whole body into a straight line. After his arms approached Chen Zhan's double hammers, he suddenly thrust out with his elbows!

Overlord Peak!
Bajiquan originated from spear techniques. The most famous master of the Bajiquan lineage is Li Shuwen, known as the "Divine Spear," who is hailed as the "Number One Spear Master in the World." Is he still alive today?

The spear technique can be transformed into a fist technique, but it also emphasizes "the spear thrusts along a straight line," so what appears to be an elbow strike by Gao Zhenbei is actually a spear strike.

When he exerted his strength, his bones and muscles crackled and popped, clearly indicating that he was a master at the peak of Ming Jin (a type of internal energy cultivation).
Enough to break a monument with an elbow, or shatter a rock with a kick.

"Om~"

When their fists and elbows clashed, Chen Zhan gained the upper hand. His double hammers were powerful and fierce against the single elbow, and he held his own against the elbow.

However, Chen Zhan's hammer strike was not just a single force. Gao Zhenbei felt a sharp pain, as if he had been pricked with a needle, three inches above his elbow. His eyes turned slightly red, his blood rushed to his head, and he almost lost control of the flow of force.

"A master of internal strength!"

Gao Zhenbei exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that the frail young man in front of him was actually a master of internal energy.

Tianjin is known for its martial arts tradition, and his background has exposed him to many masters. But at his age, with such skill, it's impossible for him to remain unknown.

Among the Chinese Martial Arts Association, the Jingwu Athletic Association, and even many other martial arts schools, there are very few people of this age with internal strength cultivation.

“Why would a master like you do such a despicable thing? Why not come back to the police station with me and make things clear? If there is any grudge, let it out in the open, and no one will be able to do anything to you.” “Besides, with your refined Tai Chi skills, you probably come from a good background. There is no need for us to fight to the death.”

Chen Zhan didn't even blink. Go back to the police station? Ha! Then you'll have him completely at your mercy.
In this situation, a fight is a matter of life and death, and this person clearly hasn't realized this yet.

They're probably used to a life of luxury and think it's a martial arts exchange.

Chen Zhan responded with an elbow strike, his fist concealed beneath his left elbow and his wrist close to the inside of his left forearm, just like a "hammer hidden under the elbow!"

Bajiquan emphasizes powerful, short, and close-quarters combat, and the two have already switched to close-quarters fighting.

Gao Zhenbei was able to react in time. He held the hammer with both hands, like a 'treasure offering' gesture, and was hit so hard that his knees were pressed down three inches, almost causing him to kneel on the ground.

The scene resembled a eunuch presenting a treasure to the emperor.

"You!!! You deserve to die!"

Gao Zhenbei looked as if he had been humiliated, his face completely collapsed, and although he was only half-kneeling, he looked extremely ugly.

A warrior can lose, but he cannot be humiliated. If he is humiliated, he will lose his spirit, his thoughts will become unclear, and he will make no further progress.

Chen Zhan not only didn't answer, but also punched him so hard he almost knelt on the ground, which was naturally unbearable.

After exhaling and making a sound, he straightened his arms, clasped his hands together, hunched his shoulders and hid his head, twisted his waist and cut his hips, and with a single swing of his arm, he struck out with a thunderous roar.

The Great Sage dons his armor!

Tumbling force! Swallowing force!
This was a desperate move, because as he threw punches, Chen Zhan's hammer also rose from below, performing the "Undersea Hammer" technique, as if scooping the moon from the bottom of the sea.

The two fighters have completely different attack targets. If neither of them defends, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. It all comes down to who has the stronger physical attributes.

Gao Zhenbei was confident he wouldn’t lose in this regard, because he was twice as wide as Chen Zhan!
I'd trade my life for yours, I bet you wouldn't dare!
Chen Zhan showed a hint of surprise. He naturally wouldn't trade his life with the other party. He was superior to you in terms of fist techniques, realm, and power. Why would he trade his life with you?
To his surprise, the other party actually possessed the skills of the Great Sage in armor.

There's a saying in martial arts: "Bajiquan combined with Piguazhang, even gods and ghosts are afraid."

These two martial arts are extremely compatible. Bajiquan is a short-range fighting style, which is powerful and fierce. It emphasizes knee strikes and shoulder strikes, and is good at close-quarters combat. Its strength is tight and its momentum is fierce. Its movements are centered on the spine, with a tense and supportive frame. Its power is deep and explosive.

However, Pi Gua Quan is a long fist style, characterized by wide and sweeping movements, twisting the waist and cutting the hips. It emphasizes striking far and wide, and can be extended or retracted, with its power being long and sustained!
Combining the two allows them to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, achieving a balance between offense and defense.

Later legends say that the legendary marksman Li Shuwen, finding Bajiquan too powerful, incorporated Piguazhang into it, combining yin and yang, and hardness and softness. Thus, the legend of Bajiquan combined with Piguazhang spread, elevating Bajiquan to a new level.

Chen Zhan also understood that the person in front of him was probably closely related to the sharpshooter Li Shuwen.

But so what?
With a fist at your doorstep, everyone is an enemy, regardless of your background or origins.
I only have one life!
Since we've already made our move, let fate decide our fate!
His thoughts raced as his opponent changed his move, and he loosened his fist and switched to palm, sweeping his long fist upwards.

As they touched and separated, Gao Zhenbei's wrist trembled slightly, the cold night air thick with chill.

He possessed a powerful energy that flowed throughout his body, like the resounding of drums and gongs, reaching the peak of Ming Jin (manifested strength). His family's martial arts background meant he had sparred with An Jin (hidden strength) practitioners countless times.

Sun Lutang divided Ming Jin (manifest strength), An Jin (hidden strength), and Hua Jin (transformation strength) into three realms. However, this does not mean that Ming Jin is necessarily inferior to An Jin. An Jin has more techniques for striking acupoints, but it is not so high that it is impossible to fight against. Ultimately, it still depends on one's own strength.

Many external martial arts masters spend their entire lives practicing Ming Jin (manifested strength), but their muscles, bones, and skin have all reached the top layer, and An Jin (hidden strength) simply cannot penetrate the skin membrane.

Wang Ziping, a master of Chaquan (a style of Chinese martial arts) in Cangzhou, is a prime example. He has mastered external martial arts to the extreme and is known as the "King of Thousand-Pound Strength!" He has a long list of frightening feats and believes that external martial arts may not be inferior to internal martial arts.

Therefore, even though Gao Zhenbei knew that Chen Zhan had internal strength cultivation, he did not believe that he was bound to lose.
