Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 227 Take action
Huo Ming was already on a mission in Shaanxi, not far from Hanoi County. As soon as he received the news by telegram, he set off immediately.

After arriving in Hanoi, he re-explored the area.

Even the locals only knew that Chen Xuewen had left the Hebei Academy and gone into seclusion in the past two years, and not many people knew that he was hiding in Chenjiagou.

The Cao family, on the other hand, planned to send trusted confidants from the capital to carry out this task.

They probably won't come knocking on our door so soon.

"The sounds of so many cars and trucks coming together are not something Hanoi County can handle. If it's not the Cao family, could it be the Zhen Song Army?"

Huo Ming secretly made a judgment in his mind.

"It's fortunate that we met Doctor Chu, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get this opportunity so quickly. We mustn't let it go to waste."

He could see Chen Xuewen sitting in front of his house by peeking out from the corner of the alley.

Almost at the same instant he peeked out, Huo Ming's hand touched his waist, and the gun was drawn, still close to his side, but the muzzle was pointing forward.

Although a gun muzzle fitted with a silencer cannot be completely silent, it can at least reduce the volume considerably.

call out!
A tiny flash of light appeared at the muzzle, and the bullet flew out at a speed that surpassed the speed at which sound travels.

The trajectory of this warhead would graze Chen Xuewen's ribs, pass diagonally behind him, and pierce through the back of the chair.

The injury was not fatal, and there wasn't much bleeding, but the bullet damaged acupoints.

A person shot will experience a sharp pain, hold their breath, and fall into a coma instantly.

But the bullet slowed down suddenly when it hit Chen Xuewen, who was only three feet away from him.

Chen Xuewen turned his gaze and noticed the bullet. His face showed surprise, and he hurriedly lunged to the side.

Snapped! !

The bullet hit the rattan chair, but it got embedded in the rattan and didn't go through.

Huo Ming looked doubtful, then flicked his wrist and fired six more bullets in quick succession.

Without exception, all six bullets slowed down as they approached Chen Xuewen.

After Chen Xuewen fell to the ground, he rolled away in one breath.

Those slowing bullets, as if rehearsed, always hit the ground after he had rolled past.

Chun'er then realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Young Master..."

Huo Ming didn't even look. With a flick of his toe, a pebble struck Chun'er in the chest and abdomen, causing her eyes to roll back, her jaw to clench, and her to faint.

Chen Xuewen, who was rolling on the ground, also pulled out a pistol, but instead of going to find Huo Ming, he fired a shot into the air.

bang bang bang! ! !
Gunshots could be heard from afar.

Huo Ming's eyes darkened slightly, but he remained calm and composed. His thoughts raced, and he suddenly stopped firing. He stomped his feet and leaped away.

There was only about a minute between the car horn blaring and the gunshot.

Just as the horn stopped blaring.

Everyone's attention at the village entrance was still on the middle-aged man.

The man's hair and beard formed a continuous mass, covering his entire face.

However, his skin was yellowish, while his beard and hair were thick and black, clearly distinct from each other, appearing thick but not messy, not sloppy, but rather adding to his imposing presence.

Judging from his attire, he was dressed in a typical light blue military uniform, with all the buttons on his shirt undone, black military boots on his feet, and a command sword in his hand.

"The Zhen Song Army."

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "Then you must be Liu Xueya, Commander Liu?"

Liu Xueya said happily, "You've heard my story too?"

Chen Pinde quickly replied, "Who in Yuzhou doesn't know the General's reputation?"

"It is an honor for our village to have the General's presence. We should offer him the best banquet. However, with so many soldiers with you, I am afraid that our village's supplies may not be sufficient."

Liu Xueya laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, I brought these soldiers not to target you. It's just that I like to bring a hundred or two guards with me wherever I go."

"There are too many bad people in this world. I don't feel at ease without these people by my side."

As Liu Xueya spoke, she saw the three elders from Chenjiagou rushing over, and a smile appeared on her face.

"It's been a long time since I've heard of anyone daring to come to Chenjiagou alone and cause trouble."

Liu Xueya said to Chu Tianshu, "Brother, go ahead and perform a few more shows so that we brothers can have some fun too!"

Before he could finish speaking, gunshots rang out from the village.

The three elders of the Chen family changed their expressions and were the first to turn their heads to look.

Even from this distance, some people in Chenjiagou might not be able to distinguish between the sound of firecrackers and gunshots.

The three elders of the Chen family could not only discern the direction of the gunshots, but also the distance between them.

Therefore, it can be determined that the gunshot came from Chen Xuewen's front door.

"Xiao Wen!"

The three old men, of medium build and rather thin, immediately turned around and headed back to the village.

At this moment, Chu Tianshu had already moved.

There was a large, throng of people between him and the three elders of the Chen family.

In particular, the clan chief, Chen Pinde, stood at the very forefront of this crowd.

The moment Chu Tianshu moved, Chen Pinde instinctively threw a punch.

Even in such an emergency, Chen Pinde's punches still deeply embody the essence of "Tai Chi Chui".

The fist is loose and hollow when it is thrown, the five fingers are clenched but not tightly, and the palm is concave with a gap.

In the instant the arm swings, if the fist moves fast enough, air rushes through these gaps at high speed, creating low air pressure. This strong pressure difference between the inside and outside causes the fist to naturally tighten to an extremely tight degree.

By clenching your fist in this way, you can also generate a shockwave.

This is a modified version of the boxing technique that Yang Luchan passed back to China after meeting more martial arts masters in the capital.

The punch landed on Chu Tianshu's shadow, seemingly hitting his shoulder blade.

Chen Pinde was jolted awake, his short hair standing on end as if struck by lightning. He couldn't help but turn sharply to the right and stumble backward.

Chu Tianshu's shadow, like a winding giant python, squeezed through the crowd.

Everyone who came into contact with him was thrown back by this "giant python body," and they were also spun around and stumbled.

This is not just the force of impact and shock, but also the true force of adhesion and deflection from Tai Chi.

So everyone was only briefly grazed before they couldn't help but lose their balance and spin around.

The three elders of the Chen family realized something was wrong with the voice behind them and quickly turned around.

The surging crowd tumbled and parted to both sides, and a dark figure suddenly appeared in the middle, raising his palm to strike.

The three old men, standing in a triangular formation, made their move in the blink of an eye.

The two old men behind him each extended a palm, which met each other and formed a line, while their other two arms struck the back of the old man in front.

The old man at the front crossed his palms, the force between his fingers as sticky as intertwined silk, his loose skin becoming the best vessel to display his fist power.

The wrinkled skin on the palms and backs of the hands tightened itself like twisted silk.

These two palms met Chu Tianshu's straight palm thrust.

Boom! !

The three elders of the Chen family had shaved their heads and kept their queues for most of their lives.

Even though the Republic of China had been established for several years and the rest of the villagers had already grown their hair short, the three of them were unwilling to change.

At this moment, after they received a palm strike from Chu Tianshu, the thin, silvery braids behind their heads suddenly floated up, straightened, and shattered.

The skin on the three bodies, which had been tightly bound together, loosened under the force of the palm strike, and their facial muscles trembled violently.

But the wave-like trembling, spreading from the old man at the front to the back, split into two equal streams.

It looks like an isosceles triangle.

The power of the palm thunder splits out from both sides of the waist and then meets again at the bottom.

The arms of the two old men in the back, touching each other, form the base of the triangle.

Chu Tianshu's palm force was split into two parts, which were then redirected and counteracted.

Despite his physique as the God of War, this palm strike failed to injure the three old men.

The change in the old man's skin from tight to loose also became part of the mystery of their boxing technique.

This is no longer just a craftsman practicing boxing; he has reached the level of a grandmaster.

They will make full use of their own circumstances and integrate them into the mysteries of boxing.

"Ah!"

Chu Tianshu suddenly changed his gesture, rubbing his palm against the other's palm and swirling it, then clenching it into a fist and slamming it onto the other's palms.

With this spin, the old man's skin suddenly tightened, and before he could react, the force of the punch pierced through him.

The immortal energy is transmitted throughout the body, passing through acupoints like needle pricks.

The three old men cried out at the same time, and more than a dozen thin streams of blood gushed from their acupoints. Their limbs went weak, and they staggered backward, falling to the ground.

"you……"

The leading old man's lips trembled. "This is also the Tai Chi of the Golden Toad School?! I've never heard of the Golden Toad School placing so much emphasis on acupuncture techniques!"

"Of course it's the Golden Toad Tai Chi."

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "So you're allowed to improve the Tai Chi of your Chenjiagou school, but the Golden Toad School can't?"

A loud cheer came from outside the village.

Liu Xueya's eyes lit up as she looked at the Chenjiagou people lying on the ground, and then at the three old men.

When his gaze fell on Chu Tianshu, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyelids narrowed almost imperceptibly. He said, "Brother, you actually have such skills. That's wonderful."

"Come back to Luoyang with me, and I'll give you a high-ranking official position."

Liu Xueya smiled and said, "I'll cover the cost of all these people's medicine."

"Someone, take care of all the masters from Old Chen's family."

The soldiers behind him responded in unison and were about to step forward.

"General Liu".

Chu Tianshu turned around and looked at him calmly, "You seemed to have murderous intent towards me just now?"

Liu Xueya remained calm: "How could that be? Brother, you must be mistaken."

"Really? But if I let my guard down and turn around now, you'll almost certainly ambush me."

Chu Tianshu laughed, "I was planning to deal with them first, and then deal with you."

“Previously, you were stationed in various places, and you were always at the garrison. It was really difficult to keep the news from getting under control after we realized we had you in our grasp.”

“But today you came to Chenjiagou by yourself with only one or two hundred people with you, and the surrounding area is all wilderness.”

Chu Tianshu exhaled and said, "How could I miss such a good opportunity?"
