Chapter 68 Tai Chi Defeats Xiao Zhi
Bao Butong was taken aback and immediately withdrew his palm strike, then delivered another powerful palm strike with 70% of his strength.
Qi Ming chuckled nonchalantly, "What kind of trick is this? It's utterly useless. Let me teach you a move!"
Having said that, he was enveloped in white steam, which shook Bao Butong away, and then struck out with both palms at the same time.
A sudden gust of wind arose out of nowhere, howling and blowing, and everyone was thrown backward.
Bao Butong, the person involved, was caught in the palm wind and stumbled around, as if he were drunk. He was completely out of control and allowed Qi Ming to manipulate him at will.
But only a moment later, Qi Ming spread his arms wide, and with a tearing sound, shattered the other person's coat, while jokingly saying:
"Does this 'dragging things out' tactic meet your approval?"
Bao Butong surrendered himself to avoid being completely stripped naked.
After all, no matter how much he loves to argue, he still cares about his reputation and doesn't want to be kicked out cleanly by Qi Ming.
Kumārajīva, itching to show off his skills and also having the persona of an old friend of the Murong clan, immediately stepped forward to help him:
"This trick might be fine for men, but it shouldn't be used on women."
Everyone laughed.
Li Qinglu blushed and immediately covered her face.
Duan Yu reminded him, "Brother, this eminent monk is Kumārajīva, the National Preceptor of Tibet, who has a past connection with the Murong family!"
Kumārajīva followed suit, saying, "This humble monk does indeed have a past relationship with the Murong family. Since you have so humiliated the Murong family today, and I have witnessed it, I cannot ignore it. I humbly request your guidance!"
Li Qingluo snorted, "I am Murong Fu's aunt, and this is my nephew-in-law. What's wrong with making a scene? How is that considered humiliation? Don't bully the young just because you're older!"
She disliked the Murong family.
Because she didn't get along with Murong Fu's parents, it's not fair to blame Murong Bo and his wife.
After all, she was pregnant when she got married, so who wouldn't have suspicions!
Qi Ming laughed and said, "There's no order of precedence in learning; those who achieve mastery come first. I'm itching to try my hand at the Vajra Palm today, so I'll test my skills against the master!"
"The Mighty Vajra Palm?"
Kumārajīva laughed and said, "Haven't you learned the Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dog-Beating Staff Technique?"
Qi Ming swore, "The Dragon Subduing Palm is the best in the world, but there's no need to make such a big fuss about dealing with you, Master."
Chief Jiang was also present at this time, and upon hearing this, he immediately applauded:
"Well said! Brother Qi Ming, show us your skills, lest those arrogant Southern Murong clan members think our leader is inferior to their young master!"
Qi Ming laughed and said, "If I defeat this big monk, does that count as a meritorious service, and will I get promoted a few ranks?"
Chief Jiang laughed heartily, "Once I inform the gang leader, I'll promote you to Seven-Bag Elder!"
"One battle, three promotions; this battle is unavoidable!"
Having said that, Qi Ming assumed a stance and said to Kumārajīva, "Master, please!"
By this time, Kumārajīva had already learned the Lesser Formless Skill and mastered the Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques.
He immediately adopted the stance of the Vajra Palm.
The onlookers dispersed again.
Duan Zhengchun and his entourage watched very attentively.
Kumārajīva is an enemy, and the Murong family is also an adversary. Now that we have the opportunity, we must observe carefully, study the situation, and devise a countermeasure!
Li Qinglu encouraged him, "Husband, not only must you win, you must win beautifully!"
Li Qingluo immediately grabbed her: "Watch the battle without saying a word, so as not to distract your husband!"
Qi Ming laughed and said, "I might get distracted by romance, but I won't get distracted by fighting! Master, I have a suggestion: whoever damages the tables and chairs in the shop first loses!"
"Good, good, good!"
Kumārajīva smiled slightly: "Please, benefactor, bestow your guidance!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qi Ming flashed forward and appeared in front of him, striking with his palm!
So fast!
Kumārajīva was taken aback and also used his Lesser Formless Skill to unleash the Mighty Vajra Palm, engaging Qi Ming in a fierce battle.
Almost instantly, the two entered into the most intense battle!
Kumārajīva was dressed in yellow.
Qi Ming's Beggars' Sect uniform, however, was predominantly gray.
Everyone was mesmerized as they watched two figures, one yellow and one gray, constantly clashing, their palm strikes whistling and spreading, yet causing no damage to the tables and chairs.
Duan Zhengchun whispered, "This foreign monk is formidable! Masters, we must be extra cautious!"
Bencan and Benxiang nodded secretly.
Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound.
Qi Ming and Kumārajīva exchanged a palm strike and then separated.
Qi Ming laughed and said, "Master's Vajra Palm seems a bit unorthodox. If you don't want to lose to me, show me your true skills."
Kumārajīva was secretly alarmed, but his expression remained calm as he said, "This humble monk is a Tibetan, while you are a master of the Beggars' Sect. Your Vajra Palm technique may not even be authentic. Why don't we each display our skills and truly determine who is superior?"
Li Qinglu retorted, "My husband is most skilled with a sword, while you're empty-handed. If you lose even a move or two, won't you cheat and say my husband won unfairly?"
"Qing'er, don't be rude! Besides, you just said I'm the best in the world at martial arts, and now you want to use a sword? Aren't you making a fool of yourself?"
Qi Ming gave his playful and adorable wife a lecture, then struck a "Tai Chi" pose, confidently declaring:
"Master, you are probably already among the top ten masters in the world. I will have to use some of my true skills. The style of boxing is called 'Tai Chi.' I humbly request your evaluation!"
Top ten in the world?
Everyone was in an uproar.
Is Kumārajīva, a mere Tibetan monk, really that powerful? But then I thought of Qi Mingdu, who boasted of being the best in the world, yet still couldn't defeat him. So, giving him a top ten ranking doesn't seem so strange!
Kumārajīva, however, was very solemn.
Even Murong Bo didn't put this much pressure on him back then! Qi Ming was able to, which shows that he is extraordinary. And since he is good at practical combat, he will naturally not be careless.
He then said in a deep voice, "Tai Chi? Is that a Taoist skill? Your profound knowledge of Buddhism and Taoism is truly admirable!"
Li Qinglu yawned: "Big monk, stop rambling and get to work! We haven't finished our meal yet, and we're starving!"
She still loves her husband dearly and helps him say hurtful things.
Qi Ming naturally couldn't blame her.
He then said to Kumārajīva, "Master, don't worry about her. Let's fight our own battle. My Tai Chi style follows the principle of using emptiness to overcome solidity and softness to defeat hardness. Please enlighten me, Master!"
Upon hearing this, Kumārajīva became very curious and took the initiative to launch an attack!
It uses the Shaolin Dragon Claw Hand technique.
After a few moves, Qi Ming used the "sticky" technique to stick to his arms, and his moves were all deformed!
Kumārajīva was immediately alarmed and quickly switched to the Flower-Picking Finger technique, striking Qi Mingdu's right arm.
But Qi Ming grabbed his wrist and pushed him to the side, hitting a pillar!
Li Qinglu cried out, "The head monk has already lost!"
Kumārajīva refused to admit defeat and continued to fight Qi Ming, using all the unique skills of Shaolin!
As a result, every move they made ended up hitting the tables and chairs!
Li Qinglu shouted, "Master has lost again! He's losing again! He's lost so many times he's numb!"
Amidst the laughter, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.
They all know their stuff!
Kumārajīva's mastery of so many Shaolin skills is truly awe-inspiring and worthy of his place in the top ten!
But in Qi Ming's hands, there is a tethered ox, which he can pull at will. Isn't that even more awe-inspiring?
at last.
With a "thud!"
Kumārajīva's Vajra Finger technique was taught by Qi Ming, who taught him to thrust his finger directly into a pillar.
Qi Ming took a step back and said with a smile, "You flatter me!"
Kumārajīva's face flushed red as he asked, "What kind of skill is this?"
Li Qinglu jumped out again, beaming with pride:
"I know Tai Chi too."
