Chapter 110 - 99 There are Dragons to Slay with Dragon Slaying Skill
Swoosh! Wu Li pounced in Tiger Form towards Zhao Lixin, who was five meters away.
Five meters, that was Wu Li’s current limit.
It wasn’t that Wu Li’s Tiger Form could only strike at 5 meters; after all, one could keep pouncing forward step by step if they wished. However, during a momentary burst, Wu Li’s limit was 5 meters. Past that distance, his speed would begin to decline. Therefore, it was best to strike with a punch at the instant when his speed was at its peak, transforming all kinetic energy into potential energy. Only then would his Tiger Form display its most formidable power.
Faced with Wu Li’s ferocious Tiger Form assault like a tiger bursting out of the gates, Zhao Lixin pushed his palms upward in a deceptively slow yet swift motion, as if he was pushing a large millstone. The muscles in his arms intertwined, and the sleeves of his clothing were stretched taut until they finally tore apart with a ripping sound.
Bagua, Big Stone Breaking Hand!
This was a Bagua Palm technique that was extremely rigid and masculine, representing one extreme of Bagua’s spectrum of yin and yang, just like the extremely soft and yielding Ox Tongue Palm.
When one first practiced the Ox Tongue Palm, they would repeatedly strike the surface of water. After a while, soil would be added to the water, turning it into mud, and the practice would continue. As more mud was added and the mixture became thicker and harder, the practitioner’s palm force would become increasingly supple until they reached a level of yin force that was both slight and potent.
In contrast, to practice palm force, famed Bagua practitioners of the past would place a massive stone millstone in their homes and then push it with their palms, spinning it rapidly. Sometimes they would spin it so fiercely that they could even tear off the wooden axle and hurl the millstone out. This explosive palm force that manifests extreme rigidity and intensity was dubbed "Big Stone Breaking," and applied within the Bagua grinding palm technique, it became the current Big Stone Breaking Hand.
Whether it was the Ox Tongue Palm or the Big Stone Breaking Hand, for most people practicing Bagua Palm, these were simply two methods for training palm force, a category of training methods. To utilize them in actual combat, to turn them into a fighting technique, one would need to have at least reached the Master Level realm.
At this moment, faced with Wu Li’s ferocious Tiger Form, Zhao Lixin—the newly promoted Bagua Master—countered with rigidity, pitting his extremely rigid and masculine Big Stone Breaking Hand against the domineering Xingyi!
Crack! The air burst as Wu Li, in Tiger Form, leaped in front of Zhao Lixin, swinging down a Splitting Fist from midair like a colossal axe that could cleave mountains. Even if there was a mountain before him, he would shatter it!
