The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Starting from the Bodyguard

Chapter 206 The Divine Power of Flicking Finger Displays Its Might
"Jiangxi's 'Dwarf Lion' Lei Meng will learn from your superior skills."

A loud voice rang out from beside Zhou Yan. The man who had previously said he would kill the Golden Dog got up and walked quickly toward the platform. When he got close, he rushed forward and leaped onto the platform.

Zhou Yan smiled and said to Zhang Wangyue, "I met this person, Xiao Xiangzi, when I was in Xiangxi. He wanted to steal the 'Night-Shining Jade Lion'. His weapon was an iron rod that looked like a mourning staff, and it contained poison."

Zhang Wangyue said, "He was originally a treacherous person. Lei Meng is a man of courage, but it's a pity that he can't see the true intentions of the Mongol Khan. It's a good thing that he was defeated, so that he won't be used by Huo Du."

"Yes."

"However, this is also a rare opportunity to see the martial arts of various schools and sects in the martial arts world. With your outstanding comprehension, you will surely gain something."

"It is indeed a good opportunity to observe."

As the two were talking, Xiao Xiangzi and Lei Meng suddenly clashed. Lei Meng, nicknamed "Dwarf Lion," used the Five Elements Fist and the Mandarin Duck Continuous Kick, his fist techniques as fierce as a storm. His flying kicks were like the tide, wave after wave. His attacks from above and below were impossible to defend against. However, he was facing Xiao Xiangzi, one of the "Three Heroes of Mongolia" in the Condor Heroes world.

The two were of vastly different levels of skill. Xiao Xiangzi was deliberately showing off, his figure appearing and disappearing in an instant. What was strange was that when he used his lightness skill, his body seemed stiff, but he was incredibly fast, moving around Lei Meng's fists and feet as if he were strolling in a garden.

Huo Du's eyes lit up. This Xiao Xiangzi was a master, and he had to recruit him to his side. The grand feast of heroes had only just begun, yet it was already so exciting. After this martial arts competition, wouldn't all the heroes of the world be in his hands?

"Hey, don't try to dodge if you dare!" Lei Meng's punches and kicks kept missing their mark, and he was furious.

Xiao Xiangzi chuckled softly, "Alright!"

Lei Meng pushed off the ground with his right foot and sprinted forward. A powerful punch, like an arrow released from a bowstring, aimed straight at Xiao Xiangzi's abdomen. Xiao Xiangzi's right hand flashed out in a flash, grabbing Lei Meng's wrist and dragging him around half a circle. At the same time, he stepped on Lei Meng's knee, followed by a knee strike to his abdomen. This series of attacks was swift and vicious. Lei Meng's short but strong body was suddenly lifted into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.

"offend!"

Lei Meng felt as if his internal organs were being displaced by the opponent's knee strike. "Ugh!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was a ruthless man. He turned over and stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, clasped his hands and said "I admire you," then turned and jumped down from the platform. Without returning to his seat, he squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.

"He has guts!" Huyan Lei praised.

"really."

Zhou Yan, Zhang Wangyue, and others nodded.

"Xiao Xiangzi wins the round, which hero will step onto the stage?"

Wang Luoning, the "Shanxi Soul-Chasing Spear"

A man with a gun rushed up the platform. Xiao Xiangzi and the man clashed in the blink of an eye. The man thrust at him with one spear after another, but Xiao Xiangzi dodged like a zombie. When the man thrust for the tenth time, Xiao Xiangzi suddenly grabbed the spear shaft and bent the iron shaft with both hands. Then, he grabbed the man's throat and slammed him onto the platform with a thud.

A gasp of shock rippled through the crowd.

The man wielding the gun, named Wang Luoning, got up in a disheveled state, grabbed his spear, jumped off the platform, and, like Lei Meng, squeezed into the crowd and disappeared inside.

"Xiao Xiangzi only needs to win one more match to take his seat in the heroes' quarters. Which hero would like to step forward?" Huo Du's attendant asked.

Zhou Yan, Zhang Wangyue, and the others turned their attention away from the high platform. Zhang Wangyue, who was proficient in all eighteen weapons and had excellent hand skills, said, "Xiao Xiangzi's grappling move was the 'Great Grappling Hand,' but it had a few more follow-up moves than the common techniques."

Zhou Yan said, "Grabbing the 'Yanglao' acupoint behind the wrist of the man wielding the gun is quite similar to the technique in Eagle Claw Kung Fu."

"Hmm, good eye." Zhang Wangyue thought for a moment and praised.

Hu Yanlei chuckled, "I think it's just a zombie claw."

Zhou Yan chuckled, "Brother, you're witty."

“If no more masters step onto the stage, Xiao Xiangzi will have to take a seat,” Yang Tiexin said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dark-skinned man strode onto the stage.

Before the man could even speak, the audience burst into laughter.

Climbing the wooden steps to the platform, what ability do you have?

Xiao Xiangzi asked in a sinister tone, "May I ask your esteemed surname?"

The burly man grinned and said, "Spewie."

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

I remember that in the world of Legend of the Condor Heroes and Return of the Condor Heroes, there were many extraordinary people who mingled among the common people. Among them, the five brothers of the Shi family of Ten Thousand Beasts Manor left a deep impression. They raised tigers, lions and elephants. All five of them were born with extraordinary talents. Not only were their skills in taming beasts superb, but they also learned martial arts techniques from the leaping and pouncing actions of the beasts.

The eldest of the five Shi brothers was Shi Bowei.

Judging from the other man's age, he looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six. Zhou Yan chuckled to himself. The five Shi brothers might not all have been born yet. Shi Bowei was an extraordinary person, and it was worth getting to know him.

As he thought this, he looked towards the stage.

Xiao Xiangzi had never heard of Shi Bowei before. He cupped his hands in greeting, and the two instantly clashed. Xiao Xiangzi's movements remained as bouncy as ever, while Shi Bowei circled around Xiao Xiangzi at breakneck speed.

Hu Yanlei's eyes lit up, and he said, "This is interesting."

“Indeed,” Zhou Yan and Zhang Wangyue nodded. Shi Bowei ran faster and faster. In just a few breaths, he leaned forward and accelerated again like lightning. From a distance, his figure looked like a leopard darting through the forest or a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Brother Zhou, can you tell what kind of movement technique this is?" Hu Yanlei asked.

Zhou Yan said, "It seems to be a leaping technique he suddenly realized from wild beasts in the mountains."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat similar."

Sperwell circled around without attacking, and Xiao Xiangzi, who only needed one more win to secure a seat at the Hero's Banquet, became impatient and suddenly pounced.

The two figures collided instantly. Suddenly, Shi Bowei leaped up like a tiger leaping over a ravine and grabbed Xiao Xiangzi's head and neck. With two loud thuds, they were each hit by the other's knee. Xiao Xiangzi tried to grab Shi Bowei with both hands, but the other suddenly shrank back, rolled off the ground, did a somersault, landed on his feet, and his left hand came out from under Xiao Xiangzi's left armpit, forcefully pulling down on the back of his neck.

Xiao Xiangzi suddenly struck backward with his right hand.

Spear immediately lowered his right hand from his throat, leaned back, and reached up from under his right rib, grabbing the back of his neck. He shouted loudly, crossed his hands, and pressed down hard at the same time.

"Bravo!" The cheers were deafening.

Zhou Yan's eyes lit up.

Some martial arts in the world are inspired by the power exertion of animals and objects, while others are derived from sudden enlightenment from natural phenomena. For example, "Eagle Claw Kung Fu," Liang Ziweng's "Wild Fox Fist," and "Monkey Fist" belong to the former, while the swordsmanship of the Hengshan School belongs to the latter.

It's clear that Spearway's training method was inspired by the hunting habits of leopards and tigers. What's amazing is that it also incorporates wrestling techniques, which makes it look like free fighting, a real eye-opener.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but gesture a few times.

Xiao Xiangzi was in a state of great fear after being restrained, but he quickly came up with a clever idea and stomped his feet on the ground.

With a loud "whoosh," he leaped up, carrying Spearway with him.

Amid the gasps of the crowd, two bodies slammed onto the wooden floor.

Spoelstra felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if his body was about to fall apart. Xiao Xiangzi seized the opportunity to counterattack, his arm suddenly snapping open the lock and leaping up.

Xiao Xiangzi's face was fierce as he stomped on Shi Bowei's chest.

"My life is in danger, how could he be so cruel?" Shi Bowei thought to himself as he had no time to dodge.

"laugh"

As Xiao Xiangzi's right foot landed, he suddenly felt a sharp pain under his ribs. He was shocked and jumped back.

With a "snap," a silver ingot fell to the ground.

Spearway seized the opportunity to leap up.

On the side of the stands, Zhang Wangyue and Hu Yanlei both looked at Zhou Yan and said, "Brother Zhou, your technique is excellent."

Zhou Yan secretly felt lucky; if it weren't for the "Finger Flicking Divine Skill" which allowed him to control two types of energy, Shi Bowei's life would have been in danger.

Huang Rong saw it clearly and chuckled softly. The head镖头's "Finger Flicking Skill" was much more powerful than when he first learned it in Baicao Valley in Xiangxi. He was truly a person who surprised people at every turn.

Xiao Xiangzi looked at the silver ingots on the ground and was secretly alarmed. The nearest row of seats was more than two zhang away from the platform. The martial arts of the person who was hiding among the spectators and obstructing him should not be underestimated.

Spears picked up the silver ingot from the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much for saving my life. I will never forget your great kindness."

After saying this, he turned and stared at Xiao Xiangzi for a moment, "If it weren't for the help of a master, I would have died a violent death. I will remember this grudge."

Xiao Xiangzi smiled darkly, "Fine!"

Spearway turned around and jumped off the platform. He was curious to see if the expert who had saved his life would come up on stage. So he didn't leave and returned to his original seat.

From the stands, Huo Du turned to Darba and asked, "Senior brother, did you see who did this?"

"Never."

"Please ask your senior brother to tell Master to keep an eye on the scene. If we can recruit this person, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

Darba nodded, turned around, and went down to the tent where the Golden Wheel Dharma King was.

Huo Du stood up and stepped forward, smiling, "Master Xiao's martial arts are superb; I admire you."

"You're too kind, little prince."

Please take a seat.

"Thank you, Little Prince." Xiao Xiangzi leaped down from the stands and sat in a front-row chair, looking quite pleased with himself.

Behind him, Ouyang Ke swiftly opened his folding fan and waved it twice, inwardly admiring Yang Kang's wisdom.

With one move, two goals were achieved; the plan was complete, and all that remained was to wait for the right moment to disrupt the heroes' feast.

The real show is just beginning!
