Without thinking, he quickly retreated four or five steps, then stood still and stared at Zhou Xuan as if he were a monster.
Hu Shan and the others standing to the side were all staring at Zhou Xuan, and they clearly saw Zhou Xuan flick his finger in the air. However, he did not make any other movements. But the guards inexplicably retreated at the same time that Zhou Xuan flicked his finger, which was strange. Although they did not experience it firsthand, they knew that something was wrong.
After the guard stepped back, he stood there staring at Zhou Xuan's hands with a look of surprise and uncertainty. He saw that Zhou Xuan's hands were empty and there were no weapons. So what was that cold feeling in his hands?
Based on his intuition, he felt that it was shot with a tranquilizer gun with a silencer, but Zhou Xuan had nothing in his hand, so it couldn't have been a pistol. Besides, there were seven of his companions standing nearby, all staring wide-eyed!
The guard's hands hung limply at his sides, unable to muster any strength, almost as if they were nothing. He was powerless, but he felt no pain whatsoever, which was a bit strange. Logically, only a tranquilizer gun should be this effective, right?
But it was clear to everyone that Zhou Xuan had no weapons in his hands!
Zhou Xuan chuckled again and flicked his fingers a few more times. This time, the distance between them was even greater, about three or four meters. But as soon as Zhou Xuan moved his fingers, the guard's hands suddenly regained their mobility. He exerted his strength and his power was as strong as ever, without feeling any discomfort whatsoever!
Volume 1, Chapter 487: The Six Meridian Divine Sword
Xuan naturally used ice and supernatural abilities to subdue the guard from a distance. But Zhou Shang deliberately pretended to use acupressure, using the most mysterious acupressure technique in China to shut these people up. That was the best excuse.
To be honest, the guard completely believed Zhou Xuan's words, but Hu Shan and the others watching from the side were all a bit confused. The guard didn't say anything, but just threw out his right fist, then retreated halfway through, then threw out his left fist, and then retreated again, and then retreated five or six steps in a row. His terrified expression left Hu Shan and the others wondering what was going on!
After Zhou Xuan released the restraints on the guard, the guard said with a look of complete remorse, "Mr. Zhou, I lost. There's no need to try again. Ten of me... no, no, even a hundred or a thousand of me wouldn't be a match for you!"
Yi Xin didn't translate these words for Zhou Xuan, but Hu Shan and the others next to him understood them and were quite surprised. Could it be that Zhou Xuan's feigned flicking of his fingers in mid-air was enough to scare him to this extent?
Mian Shan frowned, then stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhou, are you using magic or a hidden weapon?"
Hu Shan's words clearly implied that he suspected Zhou Xuan of using some kind of weapon in secret. "The most likely possibility is a tranquilizer pistol with a silencer attached."
However, they also had some doubts, because they were all experienced gun users. Even with a silencer, there would still be some sound, just a little quieter. But just now, none of them heard such a sound, which is why they found it strange. No matter how well the silencer is made, it is impossible for it to be completely silent.
Yi Xin translated Hu Shan's words to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan smiled, then imitated the guard by taking off his coat and handing it to Wei Xiaoyu. He was wearing an off-shoulder vest underneath, and his bare arms were clearly visible in his pants and around his waist, so there was no weapon hidden.
Zhou Xuan then said, "Everyone, what I just used was Chinese martial arts, acupressure!"
"Acupressure technique?" Hu Shan and the others were shocked. They had heard of this name before, but it was obviously just a legend and an exaggeration, similar to the "sword immortal" in Chinese legends, and could not be taken seriously!
But Zhou Xuan's words made them half-believing and half-doubting. Seeing that Hu Shan and the others seemed half-believing, the guard quickly explained to them, using his hands to describe in detail his experience fighting with Zhou Xuan.
Hu Shan and the others were both surprised and suspicious. The guard would definitely not lie to them, and they were there to witness it firsthand, they just hadn't experienced it themselves.
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "Hehehe, I've only really learned a little bit of Chinese martial arts, but I think it's enough for me. I've also learned one called 'Six Meridian Divine Sword,' and its power is immense. Would you all like to see it?"
Zhou Xuan casually made up another kind of kung fu. It was a kung fu that left a deep impression on him when he read the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". At that time, he thought that if there really was such a magical kung fu in the world, how interesting and desirable it would be!
However, even if the Six Meridian Divine Sword technique is incredibly powerful now, it's still inferior to one's own superpower.
The Six Meridian Divine Sword mentioned above can only strike acupoints from a distance of a few meters, but his own special ability can control a range of fifty meters, and when condensed into a beam, it can reach as far as two hundred meters. Moreover, as long as it is within the range of his ability, he can control any number of people at the same time. This skill is far superior to the effect of the Six Meridian Divine Sword.
Yi Xin had no idea what Zhou Xuan meant; she simply translated Zhou Xuan's words verbatim, leaving Hu Shan and the others completely dumbfounded.
After a long pause, Hu Shan asked, "Six Meridian Divine Sword? What kind of skill is that? Six precious swords? And what does 'skin and fur' mean?"
Zhou Xuan, Wei Xiaoyu, and Yi Xin couldn't help but laugh. "Superficial" is just a humble way of saying things. Hu Shan's understanding is quite interesting.
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's just the surface. If we use the analogy of a person to describe someone's great achievements in Chinese culture, then I've only learned the hair on that person's body. I'm far from being able to learn anything inside. That's the idea!"
After listening to Yi Xin's translation, Hu Shan and the others nodded and said "Oh," then asked, "What about the Six Meridian Divine Sword? What kind of skill is that? Is it even more amazing than acupoint striking?"
"The Six Meridian Divine Sword is similar to acupoint striking, but stronger and more refined!" Zhou Xuan laughed as he chatted with Hu Shan and the others, gesturing with his fingers as he explained, "A person's fingers... the little finger is called the Lesser Yang Sword, the ring finger is called the Lesser Yang Sword, the middle finger is called the Middle Yang Sword, and so on. The internal martial arts we practice involve circulating internal energy through the meridians in the body and then shooting it out from the fingers, like this..."
As Zhou Xuan spoke, he curled his left little finger around his thumb and flicked it out. The little finger bounced off the floor in front of him without making a sound, but just as Zhou Xuan flicked his finger, a small, dark hole about the size of a finger suddenly appeared on the floor, its depth unknown.
Zhou Xuan's move left Hu Shan and the others dumbfounded. Zhou Xuan's acupoint striking technique had impressed the guards who fought him, but this move had left Hu Shan and the others completely stunned!
The floor is made of incredibly hard concrete and tile; even if they fired pistols or rifles, they couldn't penetrate it—they might just break the tile flooring. But the concrete underneath would definitely be impenetrable.
One of the guards squatted down and tried with his little finger, which was about the same size as his little finger. He couldn't reach the bottom, so he immediately found a wire, about a meter long. However, even after probing the hole with the entire meter of wire, he still couldn't reach the end. For a moment, all eight of them were speechless!
If Zhou Xuan were to use this attack on them, which one of them could withstand it? This "Six Meridian Divine Sword" is truly terrifying!
Zhou Xuan glanced at Hu Shan and the others, and they were all frightened. These people were all ruthless characters, and it would be impossible to frighten them without real ability. Clearly, Zhou Xuan's abilities had frightened them!
"Gentlemen, my Six Meridians Divine Sword can deal with multiple people at the same time. Why don't all eight of you come at me together? I'll spar with all eight of you?" Zhou Xuan chuckled again, gesturing to Hu Shan and the others.
Hu Shan was taken aback. He looked at the hole in front of him, his expression changed, and then he looked at his companions. Fear was on everyone's face.
Zhou Xuan said he would use the Six Meridian Divine Sword to spar with them. No matter how tough their skin is, it can't be tougher than concrete. If Zhou Xuan's Six Meridian Divine Sword hits them, wouldn't it leave holes all over their bodies? Even the most advanced bulletproof vests probably wouldn't be able to stop them!
"No need, no need, I just wanted to see Mr. Zhou practice his marksmanship, that's all!" Hu Shan quickly waved his hand in refusal. He wasn't blind or stupid. If he saw Zhou Xuan's amazing skills with his own eyes and still insisted on fighting him, he would really be doomed. It seems that what he heard yesterday was true. Zhou Xuan's fists really can punch holes in concrete walls!
From initial arrogance to current awe, Zhou Xuan truly experienced the exhilaration of being strong. Everything is based on strength. If you are stronger than others, they will respect and fear you. If you are weaker than others, you will naturally not gain their respect and awe, and you may even be bullied.
With Yi Xin present, Zhou Xuan asked her to translate and told her to have Hu Shan call a few of his most trusted confidants to stay behind so he could test them together.
Yi Xin's eyes darted around after hearing Zhou Xuan's words, and then she called Hu Shan aside and spoke to him privately. If she said it in front of everyone, those people might have a problem with Zhou Xuan. "Let Hu Shan handle the arrangements. No matter how he arranges things, his subordinates won't complain."
Hu Shan's opinion of Zhou Xuan had changed drastically by this point. Without further thought, he quickly told three people to stay and the rest to leave. Among the three who stayed were the guard who had fought with Zhou Xuan, and Mott, the sharpshooter, though he felt that title was somewhat untenable in front of Wei Xiaoyu.
Little did they know that Wei Xiaoyu was the elite of the elite among the naval special forces. Because she had also practiced traditional Chinese martial arts, coupled with the intensive training in the military, she far surpassed her comrades. Hu Shan and the others naturally did not know that talents like Wei Xiaoyu were one in a million, and not someone that could be found casually.
Zhou Xuan's skills were so formidable that they were terrified.
Hu Shan left only four people, including himself, and then said to Zhou Xuan, "Mr. Zhou, everything is fine now. How do we conduct the test?"
Zhou Xuan looked at the bullets in the box, rifles, pistols, all kinds, the box was full, so he reached out and grabbed a dozen or so bullets, and then injected his supernatural power into these dozen or so bullets.
He put the dozen or so bullets aside and said to Hu Shan and the others, "Now you can use the other bullets in the box to shoot at the wall!"
Hu Shan was taken aback. "The wall is too hard. It might bounce back. The bullets definitely won't be able to get through." But since Zhou Xuan had given the order, he would just do as he was told. He simply moved the distance to the wall to about fifty meters. That way, even if the bullets bounced back, they wouldn't have any force.
