Thoughts flashed by rapidly, and an invisible spiritual force spread swiftly through the surrounding space!
At the same time, Chen Xiao's mind was immediately plunged into a strange feeling! Within a ten-meter radius, all the metal objects seemed to have merged closely with his spiritual perception!
I can feel the presence of all the metal molecules...
Hmph! You really want to kill me?
Metal molecules explode!
After Chen Xiao unleashed his strongest ability, he suddenly sensed something was amiss!
This unease is indescribable...it's as if...
Chen Xiao's mental awareness immediately locked onto all the metal objects around him: the weapons on the weapon rack, the lampshade above his head, and even the metal screws on the floor and in the corner...
But then, standing right in front of him, was the knife in the old man Takeuchi's hand.
That's right! His knife!
For some reason, Chen Xiao discovered that despite his ability to explode metal molecules, his mental power was unable to lock onto the opponent's knife!
"Young friend, you have quite a variety of skills!"
Old man Takeuchi seemed to sneer, then suddenly raised his arms high above his head, the gleaming blade of his sword raised, and then let out a sharp shout!
flutter!!
A single, incredibly powerful blade of energy swept in like a whirlwind!
The power of this strike was so astonishing that Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in the face of it!
He quickly activated his teleportation ability, shifting his body a few steps to the side, while simultaneously opening one hand and forcefully unleashing a psychic shield!
laugh!
The blade sliced through the psychic energy, producing a clear sound! Then, the blade's energy spread outwards! Chen Xiao felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, followed by a chilling gust of wind sweeping past his body…
Boom!! Almost simultaneously with turning his body to the side, Chen Xiao clearly saw the force of the opponent's attack!
powerful!
That's incredibly strong!!
This strike was as if countless blades of energy had coalesced into a shockwave!
A terrifying vortex of wind formed. It grazed past Chen Xiao's body, instantly shredding the sleeve of his left arm and the fabric on his shoulder from the aftershocks of the blade's energy! Chen Xiao's entire arm was exposed, his skin covered in fine, bloody gashes! Each gashe looked as if it had been slashed by a sharp weapon!
Then there was a loud bang...
Behind the banquet hall in the distance, directly in front of the crisscrossing sword energy, a wooden puppet, originally used for training, was struck head-on by the sword energy and instantly turned into countless wood chips with a piercing sound!
Then, with a loud boom, the blade's energy slammed into the wall behind, carving a circular crater about two meters in diameter into the banquet hall wall!
Although Takeuchi's powerful strike missed its mark, Chen Xiao truly hadn't expected anyone in the world, besides Old Tian, to be able to execute such a technique!
Chen Xiao's expression immediately changed. He noticed that the old man's momentum seemed to weaken by three points after his strike missed. He quickly bent down and then suddenly shouted!
He slammed his legs into the ground with tremendous force! With that powerful push, Chen Xiao's body shot forward like a cannonball!
As soon as the old man Takeuchi saw Chen Xiao rushing towards him, he quickly pushed him back half a step, making a move as if to chop him!
But while Chen Xiao's body was in mid-air, his waist suddenly twisted violently!
Such a movement is impossible for an ordinary person, as it requires waist strength far exceeding the limits of a normal human! However, for Chen Xiao, a strength-based superhuman, this is entirely within his capabilities!
A sudden twist of his waist allowed him to change position mid-air! The old man Takeuchi's blade grazed almost the tip of his nose, the sharp, cold edge nearly touching Chen Xiao's nostrils, sending shivers down his spine.
Chen Xiao's strange twisting and dodging movement in mid-air caused Takeuchi's expression to change instantly!
Chen Xiao was already almost right in front of Takeuchi! He clenched his right fist, then suddenly bent his waist and arched his back, striking hard at the side of the blade in Takeuchi's hand with the back of his fist!
Upon seeing Chen Xiao's striking motion, an indescribable strangeness appeared on the old man Takeuchi's face!
Bang!
Old Man Takeuchi's movements seemed to slow down a bit, as if infected by his emotions, and Chen Xiao struck the side of his blade with the back of his fist! The long sword in his hand trembled instantly. Although his strength was not small, the blade was not knocked off, but Chen Xiao's next move was a series of changes!
Chen Xiao twisted his body, shrank his back, lowered his shoulders, and bent his waist to the side...
His movements were fluid and graceful. The originally tall and upright Chen Xiao made these small movements like a martial arts master who was good at small grappling or bone shrinking techniques! The body made so many dodging and twisting movements in an instant, which required a high level of strength!
This set of movements is the very set of punches that Lao Tian taught Chen Xiao, which incorporates the essence of many boxing techniques and is most suitable for a powerhouse like Chen Xiao:
bunt!
This set of "boxing techniques" was created by Lao Tian himself, incorporating close-combat moves from many other boxing styles. It's the most direct, most effective, and also the most dangerous technique! This set of movements includes several forced, contorted body movements for dodging—because as the saying goes, "every inch shorter, every inch more dangerous," to get close to the enemy for close-quarters combat, you must also be wary of being hit at close range!
This set of movements was created by Lao Tian, a martial arts master who has lived for hundreds of years, by combining his many years of experience. It's a set of dodging movements...
When Lao Tian was teaching Chen Xiao, he said, "In martial arts novels, there's something called 'Lingbo Weibu,' which makes you untouchable. My set of movements isn't that magical, but generally speaking, as long as you follow the last set of movements meticulously and flawlessly, if someone gets close, a typical martial arts expert won't be able to hit you! Especially against opponents wielding weapons, this set of movements includes techniques for disarming an opponent, as well as moves I've calculated for various weapons. Whether it's a counter-attack slash or a short thrust... I've taken it all into account! The most essential part of this close-combat style is this last set of movements! The key points of this set of movements are only three: First, get close to the opponent! Second, hit the opponent! Third, the opponent can't hit you!"
Sure enough, the old man Takeuchi tried to retaliate with his sword, but Chen Xiao twisted his body at the perfect angle to dodge it! Even if he wanted to draw his sword for a short thrust, Chen Xiao had blocked his elbow from generating power!
This set of movements was created by Lao Tian by integrating hundreds of years of martial arts experience with many unique skills, so it is naturally extraordinary!
Old man Takeuchi's emotions seemed to have been affected as well, and his movements slowed down a bit...
Bang!!
