Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 219 On-set Incident
"Oh!"

Cao Zhengchun and the black-clad swordsman retreated together and landed on the ground.

Looking at the hand that was numb from the shock and trembling incessantly.

Cao Zhengchun's expression changed.

"What a strong inner force!"

"But whoever you are!"

"Dare to cause trouble in the palace."

"I, the Grand Eunuch, will make sure you die a gruesome death!"

After saying that, he once again channeled his inner energy, his palm drawing a circle in the air until it was full, and then he struck out with his palm!
This palm strike is extremely fierce.

The impact in the air created gusts of air.

"This is?!"

Yu Chenghui and Zhang Ziqiang both narrowed their eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his aged eyes.

As martial artists, they were not like Jiang Nian, who had reached the level of seeing the big picture from small details.

But their senses also allowed them to immediately and keenly perceive that something was wrong.

"What a strong wind!"

Stroking his beard, Zhang Ziqiang seemed to be referring to something.

Yu Chenghui didn't respond, but just watched Jiang Nian's movements and the strong wind coming from him, muttering to himself, "Was it an accident?"

Zhang Ziqiang chuckled: "Who cares about accidents or not? Let's try and see!"

"Try?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chenghui frowned.

Wang Jing sensed something was amiss.

Are they filming a movie?
How do you want to try it?

Shouldn't it be.
"Wait a minute."

Wang Jing reached out her hand, about to stop Zhang Ziqiang.

But he was still one step late.

Without thinking twice, Zhang Ziqiang went straight to the filming location.

They saw this person suddenly barge in.

Everyone was stunned.

Sitting behind the monitor, Deng Yancheng was even more tempted to curse.

Damn it, they've almost finished filming this scene.

What kind of crazy thing is this?!
"Script supervisor, what the hell are you doing?"

Deng Yancheng launched into a tirade of curses.

How could such a serious and basic accident happen here?!
Upon hearing this, the script supervisor broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately called for people to go up and pull Zhang Ziqiang away.

Meanwhile, on the film set.

Jiang Nian frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Ziqiang.

It wasn't just because this person suddenly appeared that their filming was completely disrupted.

Even more because
"A martial arts practitioner?"

Jiang Nian asked.

Even from a distance, he could sense a powerful and violent aura emanating from the old man.

Although it has long since decayed due to its age.

But ordinary people, without training, are no match for him.

He must have been a powerful figure in his youth.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang grinned and said, "Good eye."

Then he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am Zhang Ziqiang, the fifth-generation successor of Zhang Family Xingyi Quan in Beihe Province. I was thrilled to see you fighting just now and my hands were itching to join in. I have come here to exchange a few moves with you. What do you think?"

Throughout his conversation, Zhang Ziqiang addressed Jiang Nian as "sir" repeatedly, showing no disrespect despite Jiang Nian's age. His utmost respect demonstrated how much he valued Jiang Nian.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow: "A friendly spar?"

"Indeed, Mr. Jiang, although I am old and my energy is not what it used to be, I still have considerable strength."

"No, I'm not questioning your fighting ability. What I mean is, who are you? Can't you see we're filming? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Jiang Nian frowned.

This scene was about to be filmed.

You old man, you suddenly appeared.

This is just great.

Because of you alone, this scene has to be reshot, which will cause a lot of delays. He will also have to practice the "Heavenly Gang Boy's Skill" a lot less often!

Jiang Nian's complexion was not very good.

Zhang Ziqiang, however, was slightly taken aback.

No, he did send you a challenge to a duel.

As someone who practices martial arts, shouldn't you readily agree at this point?

How did we end up talking about this?!

Zhang Ziqiang's face was full of bewilderment, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

And there he was, standing there dumbfounded.

Jiang Nian became even more impatient.

He waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go, go somewhere cool and stay there. Don't block our way and delay our filming."

Then he looked at Deng Yancheng and shouted, "Director Deng, he just barged in, so the impact shouldn't be too great, right? How about we switch the camera angle and switch directly to Lao Huo's Guihai Yidao?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Yancheng nodded: "No problem."

At that moment, the stagehand also came over.

He said, "Sorry, sir."

Without saying a word, he grabbed Zhang Ziqiang and tried to drag him away.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziqiang became anxious.

Why doesn't Jiang Nian play by the rules?

If he gets dragged away...

When he gets back, won't Yu Chenghui laugh at him to death?

Thinking of this, he quickly stopped himself and looked at the director team next to him, shouting, "Hey, wait, don't pull me away! Aren't you going to shoot an action scene next? I've practiced martial arts, I can be your stunt double."

Upon hearing this, Deng Yancheng remained unmoved, but Wang Jing, as if struck by a sudden thought, exclaimed, "Stop, let go!"

Upon hearing this, the stagehand immediately released his grip.

Wang Jing stepped forward, looked at Zhang Ziqiang, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in her eyes: "Are you sure you can be a stunt double?"

Zhang Ziqiang grunted, "What's there to be uncertain about? Don't underestimate me just because I'm old; I'm still good at wielding a knife and a stick!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing looked at his physique, which was even more robust than her own.

It is obvious that Zhang Ziqiang did not lie about this matter.

but.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I meant if you want to be a stand-in, then this money..."

Wang Jing said.

That's his real purpose!
In just a short while, he had already figured out that Zhang Ziqiang, like Yu Chenghui, had come to their film crew specifically to film scenes with Jiang Nian.

Otherwise, Zhang Ziqiang wouldn't have rashly stepped forward and interfered with their filming.

In that case.

Is he able to take advantage of the situation and get something for free?

After all, someone who has practiced martial arts is definitely much stronger than Huo Jianhua and his ilk who only have fancy moves.

Wang Jing was making her own plans.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang naturally understood what the cunning chubby boy in front of him was planning.

He glanced at Wang Jing, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "No need for payment, I'll act for free!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jing's face immediately lit up with joy: "Really?"

"Do not talk nonsense."

"Alright, alright, you there, hurry up and take Teacher Zhang to change her clothes?"

Wang Jing gave the order.

Upon hearing this, the person he pointed to nodded quickly, and then took Zhang Ziqiang to the dressing room to change clothes.

A short while later, Zhang Ziqiang returned.

He was also wearing the same black clothes as Huo Jianhua. Standing next to Huo Jianhua, thanks to their similar height, they looked like the same person at first glance.

"Not bad!"

"Teacher Huo, you should rest first."

"You don't need to participate in this fight scene."

Looking at Zhang Ziqiang's attire, Wang Jing became more and more satisfied, so she told Huo Jianhua to go and rest.

Huo Jianhua had no objection to this, happily agreed, and went to rest.

Anyway, that's all the pay he gets.

With a stand-in, he can do less work. Why not just lie down and get paid for nothing?

"Mr. Zhang, I'll trouble you to rehearse with Teacher Jiang next."

Wang Jing looked at Zhang Ziqiang and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang's sullen face softened somewhat.

But he still didn't give this person who was taking advantage of him a friendly look. He snorted and walked forward, standing in the position that Deng Yancheng had instructed him to take.

Waiting for his command.

"die!"

Cao Zhengchun swung his palm and lunged forward.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziqiang thought to himself, "Good thing they came."

He immediately stepped forward, wanting to have a good fight with Jiang Nian.

However, he had only just begun to move.

"Crack!"

"What are you doing?"

"Hold on to Shangguan, hold on tight!"

"Do you understand the principle of fighting while retreating?!"

Deng Yancheng's voice came from the side, sounding very displeased.

How come you, a stunt double, have so much drama?

I've already shown you the script, haven't I?

Why not act according to the script?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang was taken aback. He turned to look at Ye Xuan, who was standing next to him with a speechless expression: "Huh? I'm supposed to hug her and hit her?"

"Otherwise what? This scene shows Cao Zhengchun trying to kill Shangguan, but Guihai comes to her rescue at the critical moment. She was seriously injured. If you didn't hold her while you fought, were you going to hold me while you fought?"

Deng Yancheng looked impatient.

Zhang Ziqiang was completely numb.

He just wanted to spar with Jiang Nian and have a friendly exchange.

Why is it so difficult?

"You old codger, is this how you always act?"

Turning his head to look at Yu Chenghui not far away, Zhang Ziqiang cast a questioning glance at him.

Yu Chenghui nodded in agreement, indicating that this was indeed how acting was done.

Otherwise, why do you think he just stood there, unmoved?

"Sigh~"

Zhang Ziqiang scratched his head, grimacing, looking somewhat annoyed.

He was holding someone in one arm while fighting with the other.

It just feels so awkward no matter how I think about it.

Just as he was about to ask if the script could be revised.

Jiang Nian's impatient voice came from the front: "I said, can you even act? If you can't, then get off the stage and let me act with Lao Huo, or I'll find a stand-in to act with you. Let's not waste our time here, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang finally put away his ulterior motives.

"I'll act, I'll act, okay?"

"I'm new to this and not very skilled yet, why don't you all have any patience for an old man like me?"

He muttered to himself, then looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Forgive my intrusion."

He then pulled her into his arms and picked up the sword with his other hand.

Seeing that he had finally gotten into character, Deng Yancheng resumed filming.

Jiang Nian pressed forward again.

He took two steps at a time, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Zhang Ziqiang.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ziqiang's pupils shrank: "Such speed!"

He didn't even see Jiang Nian's movements clearly; he only felt a blur before his eyes and found Jiang Nian standing right in front of him.

"Catching the cicada in eight steps?"

Not far away, Yu Chenghui squinted, seemingly lost in thought.

Although his eyesight is excellent.

But just now, we only saw Jiang Nian's initial movement.

Based on his experience, this is very likely the "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada".

Can.
Based on Jiang Nian's current behavior, it doesn't seem quite like that.

The Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada is originally a traditional spear technique.

Later, through continuous deduction and development by people, it became a movement technique.

Those who master the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada not only have faster footwork but are also difficult to catch.

It can even deliver a fatal blow to an enemy unexpectedly while someone is walking in the middle of something seemingly ordinary.

When they walk, it's like children skipping and hopping while playing.

However, the difference is that the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada requires mastering more skills, such as lowering the center of gravity and the rhythm of breathing.

It is only suitable for short-distance sprints and not for long-distance travel.

Overall, it is very lightweight.

And what Jiang Nian just showed...
"It looks like a dump truck!"

After much thought, Yu Chenghui could only find this description to be somewhat accurate.

It was fast and fierce.

To touch it is to die; to brush it is to be injured.

But he himself was completely unharmed.

"Just how much has this body been trained?"

Yu Chenghui became even more curious about Jiang Nian.

Although he had only watched for a short while, he realized that all the experience he had accumulated over the years was completely ineffective against Jiang Nian.

It was as if he was taking a completely different path.

"But martial arts have been explored for five thousand years, so what path can it possibly take?"

It was precisely when Cheng Hui's thoughts took flight and he began to indulge in unconventional ideas.

Zhang Ziqiang finally got to face off against Jiang Nian.

But at this moment, he couldn't feel happy at all.

It wasn't just because he had someone in his arms, which restricted his movements and prevented him from fully utilizing his abilities.

Furthermore, it's because Jiang Nian's martial arts skills are simply too high.

Even though Zhang Ziqiang knew it was a fake fight, he still felt immense pressure facing him.

He brandished his sword, watching Jiang Nian unleash a variety of attacks at him, growing increasingly alarmed.

"no!"

"no!"

"still none!"

Zhang Ziqiang originally wanted to find an opening in Jiang Nian's defenses and then strike.

As a result, he was chased and beaten by Jiang Nian for a long time, but he couldn't find a single flaw in Jiang Nian.

All the moves he used were so natural and flawless.

Even if you turn your back.

It also gave Zhang Ziqiang the feeling that if you dare to launch a sneak attack, he can immediately catch you in the act!

This filled Zhang Ziqiang with great fear.

It is said that youth has the greatest advantage in boxing.

But don't forget, humans are creatures that become more cunning with age!

And with his many years of experience.

He was confident that even if he couldn't match Jiang Nian's raw strength, he could still put up a fight against him through skill.

But now, reality tells him that he was overthinking things.

On experience and skills.

Jiang Nian, this 'rising star,' is in no way inferior to him, and may even be slightly better!
"What the hell is that monster?!"

Zhang Ziqiang cursed inwardly.

He really didn't understand.

Did Jiang Nian start practicing martial arts while still in the womb?

How can someone so young be so amazing?!
After exchanging blows with Zhang Ziqiang for a while, Jiang Nian also found that Zhang Ziqiang was quite interesting!
"Can you see through my moves?"

"No wonder he came up here and immediately started clamoring to spar with me."

"However, if that's all there is to it, then it's probably over."

Jiang Nian murmured to himself, deciding to be a little more serious.

In an instant, his already fierce attack became even more ferocious.
