C545 A Crouching Tiger Hiding a Dragon

On the other hand, Matumoto Kiyu's moves were not that fancy. It was just a proper technique called "Tang Shou." The Tang Hand might have originated from the Glazed Islands, but it had flourished. Still... It was only after the martial arts of the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty had spread to the Glazed Islands that its name had been called "Tang Hand." His steps were steady and steady, and his fists were neat and tidy. It was not complicated at all. Under Lee Hongji's storm-like attacks, he miraculously managed to hold on for the time being.

Twenty moves had passed, and Lee Hongji had used the Mang Mountain Sect's fist technique, Five Trigrams Mountain Shift. Five shadows of light shot out from the tip of his fist as he punched towards his opponent. Matumoto Kiyu didn't know which punch was real and which punch was fake. Helpless, he could only punch out with both fists, facing the opponent's fist. The two fists collided once again, and Lee Hongji's fist hit directly. As for Matumoto Kiyu's fist, it was a horizontal sweep. The strength of his fist could not be mentioned in the same breath. Matumoto Kiyu let out a muffled groan. It was obvious that he had suffered a small loss.

Lee Hongji did not show any mercy. He increased the tempo of his attack. It seemed like he was determined to take Matumoto Kiyu down in one go. Unfortunately, Matumoto Kiyu was like a nail, even though you could nail it into the wood. It could smash him into the depths of the earth, but it still existed. It was still there, and it did not change. It could rise again at any time.

Finally, the hammer that kept hitting seemed to be a little tired. Lee Hongji's fist wind gradually weakened, and even his footsteps seemed to be a little heavy. As a result, Matumoto Kiyu was still as solid and stable as before. He, who had been on the defensive all this time, slowly began to counterattack. And he was getting more and more incisive, and he was getting more and more unreasonable.

When Lee Hongji appeared in a sorry state for the first time, some people were still hoping for luck. They hoped that it was only because he was using the art of luring the enemy. However, when he exchanged blows with Matumoto Kiyu again, he was knocked back by the opponent's punch. When he almost fell to the ground, including people like Zhao Mengfan who still had one last glimmer of hope... They were all deeply disappointed and did not know if they should continue watching. They didn't know how to welcome the failure and humiliation that was destined to come.

What was supposed to come would come eventually.

The current Lee Hongji was like a completely different person from the heroic divine might from the beginning. It was hard to imagine how he would decline so quickly. On the other hand, Matumoto Kiyu's punches did not leave Lee Hongji's vitals. If it was Lee Hongji who was running away in a sorry state, he wouldn't dare to fight Matsumoto head on. Matsumoto suddenly changed his fist into a claw and clawed at Lee Hongji's head. Lee Hongji tripped on the ground, and could only roll helplessly on the ground. It was not easy for him to dodge this attack, but he was also in a sorry state.

Lee Hongji followed the roll and simply did not care about his image anymore. He ran back to his side in large strides and panted heavily. He no longer had any image to speak of.

Matumoto Kiyu originally wanted to chase after him, but it seemed like he changed his mind and stopped in his tracks.

"Forget it, forget it. I really didn't expect that the outstanding martial artists of the Central Plains would... It's really disappointing. There's no point in continuing the fight. Perhaps your hero wants to say that the outcome has yet to be decided. Wait till the next day to fight or something. I just want to say that this trip... I'm very disappointed. Perhaps the martial arts world in the Central Plains has many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, as well as many experts, but unfortunately... At this moment, everyone present..."

This was a living humiliation, but everyone could only helplessly accept it. Although they didn't know the reason why Lee Hongji was defeated, they all felt that even he wasn't a match for this Japanese. Even if the others went up, they would only bring humiliation upon themselves. Apart from making their opponent proud, there was no other benefit.

When everyone was at a loss, the true hero would naturally stand up for them. No one completely lost hope because there were always hidden dragons and crouching tigers in our Jianghu. It was not certain who would be able to get rid of this guy who boasted shamelessly just because they couldn't stand it.

As expected, someone in the crowd shouted, "Matsumoto, what are you so angry about? I'll find someone to teach you a lesson later..."

The voice was young and tender. When Song Ben heard it, he felt that it sounded somewhat familiar. However, he was quick-witted and shivered. He did not know where this feeling came from.

Unfortunately, the distant water could not save the nearby fire.

Zhao Mengfan only felt that if today's matter was to end like this, it would be a disgrace to his grandmother's family. He looked in the direction of Shaolin for help. However, he found that Master Bu Jue did not hesitate at all. He was in a meditative state and did not move at all. The master had already thought of this in his heart. Seeing that the Japanese had high martial arts, he did not have the confidence to win. If he lost, it would lose Shaolin's reputation. His reputation would be ruined! This kind of business, whoever wanted to do it would do it!

Zhao Mengfan knew that he couldn't count on this "smart" master of the Jianghu anymore. He turned to look at Jiang Wanfang, the Thousand Households of the Dong Chang. Since the Imperial Court had come here today, it was impossible for them not to send experts to escort them. If the Fang family were here, they would definitely have the ability to not be called arrogant R People. In the end, Jiang Wanfang shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, roughly indicating that we have agreed not to participate. We can't help if we want to.

Zhao Mengfan secretly sighed. It seemed like they had reached the end of their lives today. Perhaps they could only swallow this humiliation down their teeth.

In the next moment, he finally felt the taste of timely help. Although it was a cup of water and a cart of firewood, it still made him feel so warm. Knowing that he could not do it was also a rare kind of courage and decisiveness.

It was because Kang Louhao, who had just abandoned the battle, chose to stand out at this moment.

"Mister Matsumoto, I would like to ask you for some advice. We were all from the same country just now, so I don't want to fight anymore. Now Lee Hongji lost to you, and we haven't even competed yet! "

Everyone looked at Kang Louhao with a sense of responsibility mixed in their eyes. They praised, sighed, sympathized, admired and so on and so forth. Everyone knew that he couldn't stand the Japanese showing off their might. That was why he attacked. However, he had been injured just now, and judging from the way he fought Chai Handong, he was afraid that he was even weaker than Lee Hongji, let alone Matsumoto, who was a notch higher than him. It was hard to say whether his actions were brave or foolish.

Matumoto Kiyu, on the other hand, had a face full of respect. He had seen everything that had happened just now. He had stepped forward at the last moment to force Lee Hongji to fight, but this Kang Louhao had not been defeated by Lee Hongji. He had backed out on his own. It was understandable for him to challenge him now. Besides, Matumoto Kiyu was also a martial arts maniac. Having a suitable opponent was also a kind of happiness for him.

"That's good too! Coincidentally, I have set a limit for three matches today, and only two matches have just been carried out. I will leave this third match to Mr. Kang. However, I have already said that if someone else challenges me next, I will not accompany them. I don't think the martial arts world in your country will use such an underhanded method."
