Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 114 Beat him to a pulp!
Unable to achieve any results with his Starry Sky Scattered Hands technique, Liang Xiao immediately changed tactics and unleashed Xiao Qianjue's ultimate palm technique, the "Great Rebellion Heart-Piercing Palm." This martial art was created by Xiao Qianjue to counter Gongyang Yu's "Three Talents Returning to Origin Palm." "Great Rebellion" means that his advances, retreats, attacks, and defenses all defy common sense. "Heart-Piercing" means that it makes people unpredictable and causes mental confusion, making it the number one deceptive martial art in the world.

Not only that, Liang Xiao attacked Yang Guo with only his left palm, but also used another set of palm techniques with his right hand, which was Gongyang Yu's "Three Talents Returning to Origin Palm".

These two palm techniques were originally created by sworn enemies, and were mutually exclusive and vastly different. However, under Liang Xiao's influence, they were combined into one, turning a clash of titans into a complementary relationship between good and evil. This can only be described as a genius.

It's important to understand that the reason why martial arts like the Golden Crow Saber Technique and the Snow Mountain Sword Technique, or the Ancient Tomb Sword Technique and the Quanzhen Sword Technique, are both opposing and complementary, is that the people who created them were actually in a relationship that was seemingly close yet distant, seemingly opposed, but in reality, deeply affectionate. This is why the martial arts, which are mutually reinforcing and restraining, can be so intricately integrated.

Not all restraining martial arts techniques can be combined to become more complete and more powerful.

For example, One-Finger Divine Skill and Toad Style are opposites, but they cannot be combined.

Only a genius like Liang Xiao, who possesses a profound understanding of martial arts that surpasses even their creators, can modify existing techniques and transform the impossible into the possible.

As soon as these two palm techniques were unleashed, Yang Guo was immediately at a complete disadvantage.

At the same time, Yang Guo's weakness of having only one arm was also exposed at this moment.

Under normal circumstances, given Yang Guo's strength, having only one arm cannot be considered a weakness.

However, in such a battle, that weakness was magnified infinitely. Liang Xiao seized the opportunity to launch a series of attacks, making it difficult for Yang Guo to defend himself.

Cha Nan glanced at Huang Yaoshi, who was holding the line, but still didn't urge him to join Yang Guo in attacking Liang Xiao.

He could tell that Huang Yaoshi had developed a sense of camaraderie with Liang Xiao. In addition, Huang Yaoshi was proud and arrogant, and even though his granddaughter had been captured by the other party, he was unwilling to join forces with others to launch a surprise attack.

Being able to offer a word of advice to Yang Guo already demonstrates a 'firm stance'.

Cha Nan didn't have high expectations for him either. With a wave of her hand, Monarch Melupa, with an aloof and emotionless gait, unleashed the "Mount Tai Pressing Down" technique.

Its massive body crashed directly into Liang Xiao.

Faced with such a simple and direct physical impact, Liang Xiao had only two choices: either dodge or withstand it. Any attempts to use the opponent's force against them or to take advantage of the situation were ineffective. The complexity and variety of martial arts were greatly diminished in the face of such an offensive.

Just as the prosperous economy, complex politics, and long-standing family ties of the Song Dynasty, along with the closely intertwined academic cliques, all became fragile and vulnerable under the barbaric iron hooves of the Mongols. What was once a net that seemed to cover the sky was easily torn to shreds.

Bang!
Liang Xiao forced Yang Guo to exchange a palm strike with him. The two men's internal forces collided, and Yang Guo was forced back more than ten meters, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Liang Xiao, however, used the force of the recoil to fly backwards into the air, avoiding the impact of Monarch Melupa.

At this moment, a yellow-haired mouse appeared in Cha Nan's palm.

Don't get me wrong, it's not Pikachu, but a little yellow thing that looks a bit like a hedgehog. It's not as cute as Pikachu, and its attack power is certainly far less than Pikachu's.

But it also has its uses.

Its name is 'Thunderthorn Rat', a low-level mythical beast of the Thunder element.

Although it is a low-level monster, it is a lightning-type monster that is relatively difficult to find on low-level maps. Cha Nan was created by pairing up Mian Youyou and Bona Rabbit.

The attributes are 'Calm and Composed', which reduces the cooldown of active skills by 30% and increases attack power by 10%, and 'Capacitor', which increases lightning damage by 10%.

Holding the little guy in his hands, Cha Nan commanded it to unleash its strongest lightning-type skill, 'Lightning Volt'.

Four or five bolts of lightning struck down in succession, forming a line that spread towards Liang Xiao. The climbing arcs of electricity might not be very damaging, but the paralysis and stun effects they caused, once they took effect, would be a fatal danger to Liang Xiao.

Cha Nan brought the Thunderthorn Rat out to take advantage of its lightning skill's control effect.

While ice-type monsters offer the best control effects, lightning-type skills boast the fastest attack speed. Without guaranteed hits and strong crowd control, which type of control skill is truly the fastest?

A one-second true paralysis is definitely more advantageous than a four- or five-second freeze that can be dodged.

Liang Xiao moved with ghostly speed, using the Ten Directions Steps to dodge all the lightning and arcs of electricity, but he also lost the opportunity to pursue Yang Guo and expand his gains.

On the other side, Monarch Melupa was preparing to unleash a beam of light to deliver an energy attack.

"It's you again!" Liang Xiao's defenses crumble whenever he sees Cha Nan; it's become a habit.

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan grinned and then unceremoniously tossed the Thunderthorn Rat into her hand.

Liang Xiao looked at the strange, yellow, hedgehog-like creature and dared not be careless in the slightest. He still intended to dodge it, but Yang Guo had already returned and suppressed its space to move.

Entangled in the situation, Liang Xiao shifted his footwork, constantly dodging the approaching Thunderthorn Rat, thus disrupting his offensive rhythm. Yang Guo seized the opportunity and decisively turned the tide.

Why don't you try kicking it away?

"Perhaps I'm just interfering with you; it's not that strong!" Cha Nan's voice came, causing Liang Xiao to become agitated again.

But soon he realized that Cha Nan's reminder seemed somewhat 'unnecessary'.

He shouldn't have said that!
In a flash, without thinking, Liang Xiao wrapped one leg with his true energy and kicked the Thunderthorn Rat hard.

Only by kicking that little thing away could he concentrate on fighting Yang Guo.

However, he fell into the trap again!

Cha Nan took advantage of Liang Xiao's mental imbalance when facing himself, making Liang Xiao willingly jump into a mental trap.

The moment his legs touched the Thunderthorn Rat, the rat stuck to his legs like glue, and then burst out with intense plasma arcs.

This is the Thunder Rat's partner skill: Electric Bomb.

When you equip the Thunder Rat on your hand and throw it at an enemy, it will trigger a lightning explosion that causes electric shock damage.

This explosion is not only more powerful, but the stun effect it creates also lasts longer.

"Brother Yang! Beat him to a pulp!" Cha Nan shouted.

Yang Guo's heavy sword, however, struck first, slamming heavily onto Liang Xiao's back.

Click!

Liang Xiao's spine was broken by Yang Guo's sword.

After such a long, arduous, and labor-intensive battle, we have finally achieved a decisive victory.

Such a result was not random, but rather the result of multiple preconditions.

If any one of the steps is missing, the desired effect may not be achieved.

　Forget it, I won't change the main character's name. I need to get used to not being able to satisfy everyone. Once I start changing it, there will always be all sorts of objections. I'll focus my energy on updating! I'm so flustered... I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble! Thank you again for your concern and support!
