Travel through the heavens

Chapter 72: Everything is a trick

The two men then came outside the hall and stood facing each other in the courtyard. Many disciples of Dongyue Sect heard that their leader was going to fight with the guests, so they came to watch.

The Dongyue School is famous for its "Twenty-Four Moves Huifeng Sword Technique" and "Thirty-Six Moves Flowing Cloud Hands", but in terms of exquisite moves and powerful martial arts, the "Twenty-Four Moves Huifeng Sword Technique" is better.

However, when Chen Taisheng saw that Fang Muye was not carrying any weapons, he guessed that he was good at boxing and kicking, so he did not want to use his strength against the weak, and prepared to fight with him using the "Thirty-Six Moves of Flowing Cloud Hands".

Fang Muye naturally relaxed his body, stood with his feet apart, head and neck straight, lowered and inward, and slowly raised his arms forward, hands at shoulder height and shoulder width, palms facing downward, assuming the starting position of Tai Chi, and said, "Master Chen, please teach me!"

The implication is that Chen Taisheng should make the first move.

Chen Taisheng was confident of his age and as the host of this place, he was unwilling to take advantage of Fang Muye. He stood unsteadily and said, "Master Fang, you are a guest from afar, please come in first!"

Fang Muye smiled knowingly and said loudly, "Then I will follow the host's wishes. Master Chen, watch out!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and threw a punch, creating a whirring sound.

Chen Taisheng used a move called "clearing the clouds to reveal the sun" and pushed Fang Muye's straight punch with one palm. However, as soon as his fists and palms touched, he felt that this seemingly powerful punch was actually light and had no power at all, and was easily pushed away.

Chen Taisheng understood it immediately. Although Fang Muye attacked first, he did not use any strength in this move. It was obvious that he was holding back and seemed to be an upright person who did not want to take the lead.

There are many heroic and righteous people in the land of Qi and Lu, and people who are heroic and righteous are also the most favored. Fang Muye's behavior made Chen Taisheng feel more favorable towards him.

He laughed and warned, "Master Fang, be careful."

Then he used the move "Straight Up to the Clouds" from bottom to top and lifted his palm towards Fang Muye's chin.

Fang Muye frowned secretly. Although Chen Taisheng's move seemed ingenious, it was actually full of flaws. He instantly thought of more than a dozen ways to crack it, and he could take advantage of the situation and attack the opponent directly. If the opponent could not resolve it, he would be defeated immediately.

Even if he could block it, Fang Muye had a follow-up move, and Chen Taisheng would still be defeated.

However, if this were really the case, it would also be a loss of face for Sect Leader Chen Taisheng in front of many Dongyue Sect disciples. Although they had not been together for a long time, Fang Muye could still feel that Chen Taisheng was indeed worthy of his reputation and was a generous and upright person, so he did not want to embarrass him.

Moreover, Fang Muye's presumptuous visit this time was already full of inconsiderateness. He fought with Chen Taisheng only to understand the level of martial arts in this world. Winning or not was secondary. There was no need to make enemies with others just to win.

Fang Muye just moved his feet and stepped back a foot, and Chen Taisheng's "Straight Up to the Sky" failed.

Chen Taisheng originally left some room for maneuver in this move. Seeing that Fang Muye easily avoided it, he directly changed his move to "Cloud Photo" and moved closer to him, then used "White Cloud Flying Alone" and went straight for Fang Muye's chest.

Fang Muye did not dodge anymore and threw out punches to block. After Chen Taisheng's first punch failed, he followed up with another one, and the two of them started fighting.

The sounds of "bang bang bang" continued to be heard.

The two men fought back and forth with exquisite moves, and from time to time there was a strong wind, but upon closer inspection, it was Chen Taisheng who was attacking and Fang Muye who was defending.

The Dongyue Sect disciples who were watching thought that the Sect Leader was so powerful that he had been suppressing Fang Muye and had the upper hand. They couldn't help but feel very proud. But seeing that Fang Muye was so young and had been able to fight with the Sect Leader for dozens of rounds without being defeated, they also praised him in their hearts.

Little did they know that Chen Taisheng, who looked so mighty in their eyes, was already in shock.

At the beginning of the fight, Chen Taisheng just couldn't see Fang Muye's strength clearly, so he held back some strength in his hands. But after fighting for dozens of rounds, he no longer held back, but was still unable to do anything to Fang Muye, and then he realized how unfathomable Fang Muye was.

Although he was attacking continuously, every move was blocked by Fang Muye before he could exert any force, as if he already knew his moves and was waiting there with his moves made in advance.

Moreover, looking at the faint smile on his handsome face, it was obvious that he was not trying his best.

This feeling made Chen Taisheng think of the time many years ago when his master accompanied him in learning moves, and it was also so relaxed.

"Such a young talent has emerged in the martial arts world. It's true that the younger generation is pushing the older generation forward."

Chen Taisheng sighed inwardly, but this just happened to arouse his competitive spirit. His eyes flashed with brilliance and he circulated his internal strength. His palm gestures changed again, and the flying palm shadows formed many intentions in front of him, floating and continuous, and in an instant, enveloped Fang Muye.

The "Thirty-Six Moves of Flowing Cloud Hands" of the Dongyue School were realized by the founder of the Dongyue School when he was observing the clouds on the top of Mount Tai. As the name suggests, it captures the meaning of "the sky is vast, and the flowing clouds are formless"; once performed, it becomes naturally ethereal, like clouds emerging from a mountain, and hard to capture.

However, after being passed down for eight generations until it came to Chen Taisheng, several moves had been lost long ago. Chen Taisheng made up for it according to the name, but it no longer has the power it had at the beginning. Even so, it is still a famous martial art in the martial arts world. Chen Taisheng also earned the nickname "Liuyun Qingshi" in the world for this skill and his upright character.

Facing Chen Taisheng's smooth and flowing moves, Fang Muye remained calm and at ease. He used the three major boxing techniques of Xingyiquan, Tai Chi and Baguazhang interchangeably without following any rules, and occasionally used some clever moves that came to his mind, which completely neutralized Chen Taisheng's offensive.

Before they knew it, Fang Muye and Chen Taisheng had fought for nearly a hundred rounds. By this time, Fang Muye had already seen through Chen Taisheng's strengths.

Although the martial arts used by Chen Taisheng were of high level, he did not practice them with great spirit, and his moves seemed discontinuous and lacked fluency.

In addition, Chen Taisheng's internal energy is not deep enough. If compared with the Kung Fu system in the world of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", he is only at the late stage of the Small Zhoutian realm.

Since this world allows Fang Muye to break through to the late stage of the Great Zhoutian, it means that the upper limit of his martial arts power is at least the late stage of the Great Zhoutian. Chen Taisheng's kung fu is indeed a bit lacking.

There was no point in continuing the fight, so Fang Muye decided to stop the competition.

Just at this moment, Chen Taisheng suddenly attacked with a punch and a palm at the same time. Halfway through, the intersecting fists and palms suddenly changed. His hands stretched out from bottom to top, with a gentle and continuous force, like the rising momentum of misty clouds, turning into hazy clouds. Then his palms turned outward like clouds and tides, and hit Fang Muye.

It was the most powerful move among his “Thirty-Six Moves of Flowing Cloud Hands”, called “Sudden Change of Wind and Cloud”.

Fang Muye also thrust out both palms, his palms slightly concave, and easily caught Chen Taisheng's move. He took the opportunity to deliberately step back a few steps, then clasped his fists and said, "Master Chen, you have profound martial arts skills. I admire you. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. It's better to stop here."

Chen Taisheng knew that Fang Muye's martial arts were far superior to his own, so he said this to save face, so he also clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Master Fang's martial arts are really amazing, Chen is not as good as you." He waved his hand towards the hall and said: "Master Fang, please come in!"

The two of them entered the hall again and sat down. After the Dongyue Sect disciples had replaced the hot tea, Chen Taisheng began to praise: "Master Fang is so young, yet he has such martial arts skills. His future achievements will surely be limitless."

Fang Muye smiled modestly and said, "Master Chen, you are too kind!"

Chen Taisheng picked up the tea bowl and said after hesitating for a moment, "I would like to ask, what kind of martial arts did Sect Leader Fang use just now?"

Fang Muye replied in a resounding voice: "My Hunyuan Xingyi Taiji School is mainly based on boxing, which is Xingyiquan and Taijiquan."

Chen Taisheng laughed heartily: "Haha, I didn't expect the answer to the riddle was hidden in the riddle. The two types of boxing of your school are profound and extensive. You will surely become famous in the martial arts world one day."

Fang Muye took the opportunity to say again: "If I can become famous in the martial arts world, it would be great, but what is the current situation of the martial arts world? I hope Master Chen can help me solve this puzzle."

Chen Taisheng smiled and said, "This is very easy. I will tell Master Fang everything I know."
