C25 Defeat

Yuan Tianxing stared at the old man, at first the two of them did not make a move, although it was said that the first strike was the strongest, but towards the truly strong experts, they could make a move later, and the old man in front of Yuan Tianxing was that kind of expert.

The old man was still smiling at Yuan Tianxing. In the time it took for the two of them to drink a cup of tea, Yuan Tianxing could not hold it in and was the first to attack, then, when Yuan Tianxing struck out with his right palm towards the old man's face, the old man did not even dodge. When Yuan Tianxing's right palm was still around a foot away from the old man's face, the old man extended out his right palm.

Looking at Yuan Tianxing's body that was retreating 4 to 5 steps before stabilizing, he felt that his entire arm was sore and numb, as though it was filled with lead. Yuan Tianxing was panic-stricken, and thought to himself: I actually obtained such a result with my full strength, teacher is right, the number of capable people in the martial arts world is truly countless, seems like I have to be extra careful in the upcoming exchanges, otherwise I won't be able to leave wolftooth ridge safely.

In truth, compared to Yuan Tianxing's degree of shock, the old man's heart had clearly thought of something. After clapping, the old man had also retreated half a step, his arm was also slightly numb, but he quickly recovered.

The elder thought to himself, although I only used about sixty to seventy percent of my strength, this youth actually only took five steps back. Judging from his appearance, he clearly didn't do any actual damage to him. Then he said:

"Young man, not bad. It seems you have spent a lot of effort in this palm technique. You have trained in this iron sand for at least five years. Mm, not bad at all. Continue to attack. You must be careful. I will not keep defending."

These words caused Yuan Tianxing to be shocked, he thought: Just who is this old man, he knows how long I have trained in this palm technique with just one move. However, he couldn't weaken his aura or he would lose without even fighting. He then looked up at the old man and said:

"Senior is truly wise. However, I am not someone who will easily admit defeat. You must also pay attention to what happens next."

With that, Yuan Tianxing once again pounced towards the old man. His left palm attacked the old man's left rib, his right palm struck the old man's heart, both palms arrived in the blink of an eye, the old man calmly blocked Yuan Tianxing's left palm with his left hand, and his right hand blocked Yuan Tianxing's right palm.

The next moment, Yuan Tianxing used all of his trump cards, the 749 Tough Palm s continuously attacked the old man like a gust of wind, and then the corners of the old man's eyes were filled with caution. Facing every single one of the attacks calmly, the two were still unable to determine the victor after fighting for 30 rounds, but the difference between the two was that Yuan Tianxing had used all his strength, while the old man mainly defended himself, using offense as support. The goal of it was to probe out Yuan Tianxing's strength, and at the same time, let his disciple see how he was using the martial arts he had taught him.

After the two battled for another ten rounds, Yuan Tianxing's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He thought to himself: This old man evidently hasn't used his full strength, and even if it was himself, he wouldn't be able to obtain any benefits, and this won't work. Today, I have come here to investigate the situation of the wolftooth ridge, and have wasted all my time on this troublesome opponent.

Currently, Yuan Tianxing's three palm strikes could not be compared with the time when he was fighting against Fu Batian. After that exchange and with Zhuge Yun's guidance later on, his own understanding of these three palm strikes had grown by a large margin.

The sudden change in events also surprised the old man, but he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he secretly increased his vigilance, and just as expected, as the old man followed him in and out, he saw that Yuan Tianxing had used one hand to support himself and quickly arrived behind him. Just as he was about to raise his palm to slap the old man's back, the old man also took the opportunity to turn around and face him with his palm.

"Young man, this trick is useless against me."

"Is that so?" Yuan Tianxing laughed strangely, and the old man thought to himself: Could it be that he has other tricks up his sleeves? It turned out that the old man was right.

However, his experience from all these years had allowed him to escape a calamity, and in front of this sudden attack, even though he had started to panic for a bit, he immediately took the opportunity to retreat backwards, using the Vajra Steel Bridge to dodge two kicks. Just as he stood up, Yuan Tianxing used all his strength in the air and flipped his body forward, turning his body into a single word in mid air, his two palms striking fiercely towards the old man's chest, which was the last attack he used with all his might.

But the old man's reaction was extremely fast, he quickly adjusted his body, and also extended his two palms out to meet the blow. With a "peng" sound, Yuan Tianxing flew three meters back, and his body unsteadily fell to the ground. The old man also acted in a rush and retreated three steps back, the force of his right leg stepping on the ground was barely able to stabilize his body, the old man's face was also filled with shock, as though he had not recovered from the exchange just now.

Yuan Tianxing also stood up and patted off the dust on his body, he could no longer hold back the heat from his chest, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth, and then used his hand to wipe off the blood on his face, thinking: This old man's skills are too terrifying, he could actually injure me in this situation, is he even human?

In fact, the old man's real situation was not as relaxed as it seemed. He could not calm down for a long time and thought to himself, "This young man looks to be around twenty years old, but he actually has such a powerful cultivation." Following which, he nodded and smiled.

"Young man, let's call it a day. Go back and forth from where you came from. I won't make it difficult for you. I just don't want to stay in the wolftooth ridge anymore. This place is not peaceful, let's go."

"Master, why should we let him go? "He …"

Wu Haijian still wanted to say something, but was stopped with a wave of the hand by the old man.

"Let's go, remember what I said."

"Many thanks, senior. Goodbye."

With that, Yuan Tianxing jumped over the wall and went outside the courtyard. Thinking about what the old man had said, he thought to himself: Senior must be a kindhearted person at first sight, what he said is not without reason. I do not know much about the wolftooth ridge, and it seems that I have to consider further! But then he thought again: Shi Han's life and death is uncertain, as a husband, how could he disregard the life and death of his wife? Forget it, since I have already come, I will see what dangers wolftooth ridge has.

After making up his mind, he continued to walk forward. Unknowingly, Yuan Tianxing had arrived at the fork in the road again as he thought in his heart: It seems like the other route is towards the courtyard I mistakenly took just now. After thinking for a while, he walked along another mountain path. Not long after, he heard someone speaking in front of him.

"Zhang Er, what do you think is there to see in the back mountain? The Grand chief must have let us see, the other brothers are over there drinking, and we are suffering here, it is really too f * cking unfair."

"I say, Li San, stop complaining. Is it useful?" Furthermore, if these words of yours were to spread into the ears of the Grand chief, would you still be able to live? "

"Sigh, I mean to say, the Grand chief is not bad to us."

"It's good that you know this."

The two of them conversed amongst themselves, it was unknown that Yuan Tianxing had already set his eyes on them. Seeing that Yuan Tianxing had the chance, he flashed in front of the two of them and quickly knocked one of them unconscious, his right hand grabbing onto the other person's neck as he coldly said:

"If you want to live, then behave."

Zhang Er looked at the unconscious Li San and nodded his head, indicating that he will do as you say.

"Second Brother Zhang?" Honestly, where do you two dare to go? "

Yuan Tianxing loosened his grip on his body, Zhang Er greedily breathed in a few breaths, and looked at Yuan Tianxing with eyes filled with fear, and said:

We were sent to patrol around the back of the mountain to see if there was anything strange. We need to report back truthfully because the wolftooth ridge has not been peaceful recently, and I heard that the Grand chief is going to deal with a powerful character, what's called Yuan … … Yuan Tianxing. "

Yuan Tianxing thought: It looks like this waiter did not lie, and is the same as the waiter. Looks like Lin Yuhao went through a lot of trouble to deal with me!

"I have one more question to ask you, and you must answer it truthfully?"

"Grandpa man, tell me. I will answer truthfully. I just need to spare my little life."

Yuan Tianxing also did not waste any words with him, and directly asked:

"Have you guys captured a woman called Liu Shihan recently?"

"Liu..." Who is Liu Shihan? I've never heard of such a person. "

Yuan Tianxing frowned, and said coldly:

"You don't want to live anymore, do you? Why aren't you telling me the truth? "

"Great sir, please spare us!" I really don't know. Even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn't dare to lie to you! "

Seeing Zhang Er's expression, Yuan Tianxing determined that he was not lying, and nodded his head in satisfaction, thinking: Could it be that Shi Han was saved? Then he said:

"Let me ask you, has your wolftooth ridge made any big movements recently?"

"Yes, there is. Our Lord Lin has recently invited many friends from all over the place, and every day, the entire village would be congratulating us. Even now, many people in the front hall are still drinking."

"Oh?" Yuan Tianxing thought: It's almost time, are these people part of the night owls? It was a good night, but they were drinking now, and they must have been on low alert, so I went down to the front hall to check on Shihan. Thinking about this, Yuan Tianxing asked:

"Zhang Er, last of all, let me ask you a question. If you answer truthfully, I will spare your life."

"Grandpa man, just say it. I'll answer truthfully. You must keep your word!"

"Cut the crap. Tell me, how do I get to the front hall?"

Zhang Er did not dare hide the truth, and thought: Everyone should not blame the heavens and the earth, after that, he informed Yuan Tianxing about the details of the route, causing him to be extremely happy, and then he knocked Zhang Er unconscious on the ground, causing the two of them to be tightly bound, then he covered both of their mouths with their clothes, then he stood up and rushed to the hall of the wolftooth ridge's Yama Palace.

But the moment Yuan Tianxing stood up, he suddenly felt that there was someone else in his surroundings. Yuan Tianxing lowered his voice and asked: "Who?"

No one replied, Yuan Tianxing looked around again. After confirming that there was no one, he rushed to the hall. But just as Yuan Tianxing was about to leave, a figure appeared from the darkness. This person was dressed in black, and his face was covered so it was hard to see his appearance clearly. He looked in the direction Yuan Tianxing disappeared in, sighed lightly and immediately followed.
