Quickly conquer the martial arts world, and let your fists dominate the heavens!

Chapter 250 Something's not right! How come you have another level??

Gu Ruzhang understood that Chen Zhanming was saying on the surface that he would give up his position so that the most capable person could take it.

But in reality, it's all about establishing authority through self-confidence, so much so that no one can take it away from them.

This kind of confidence is much more arrogant than saying it outright. It gives you a chance to compete head-on. Chen Zhan didn't even stipulate that it had to be one-on-one, but of course, everyone consciously abides by this rule.

If we were to actually launch a siege, we would lose all face; what would be the point of vying for the position of alliance leader?

Chen Zhan laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Gu, what makes you say that?"

Gu Ruzhang smiled helplessly: "The leader's martial arts are too high, but high skill is not something that can be said. Not to mention the people of Foshan, most of the famous masters in the south have never seen it. They have only heard about it from newspapers and rumors, so it is hard for them to be convinced."

"Therefore, you should take advantage of the clash between the martial arts worlds of the North and South to establish your authority, defeat the masters from both sides, and secure your position as the leader of the alliance."

Gu Ruzhang revealed Chen Zhan's true purpose, which most people in the martial arts world had already guessed. Otherwise, no one would have suggested it. Why would Chen Zhan insist on giving up his position as a wager in the arena?

Now it seems the goal was simple: to gain genuine acceptance.
"That's right, that's indeed Chen's purpose, but it's also true that the most capable should take the place. Even though experts like Mr. Gu and Director Wan were defeated by me, they still deserve the position of leader."

"It is only natural for the leader of the alliance to use the arena to establish his authority. That day in the Chinese Alliance, the leader's Taizu Long Fist Golden Frame was a fleeting glimpse. He only used one move, but the impression was so deep that I could not forget it for many days."

Chen Zhan immediately knew the other party's purpose: they had their eyes on his "golden chariot".

They didn't say much, but they both understood what the other meant.

Gu Ruzhang's long robe fluttered in the wind, his arms were dark and heavy like cast iron, and he stood firmly on the stage in a powerful stance, wielding the Hung Kuen style.

Chen Zhanqing's cloth shirt remained completely still, his Taizu Long Fist stance, "Sitting on the Golden Throne," was as stable as a mountain, and the air around his body was stagnant and sticky.

The two clasped their fists together and immediately erupted into action.

Gu Ruzhang advanced like a wild elephant wading through a river, his right palm unleashing a three-pronged "Iron Wire Fist" strike straight at the center.

Gu Ruzhang only had miscellaneous skills, but Chen Zhan's eyes lit up when he saw this Iron Wire Fist move.

I recall that booklet, "Iron Bridge Three Hong Family Iron Wire Fist." When I first arrived in Tianjin, I robbed the rich to help the poor, and the first person I killed, Zhang Laosan, practiced Iron Wire Fist.

But compared to Gu Ruzhang's Iron Wire Fist, Zhang Laosan's skill is like a mayfly compared to a tree, let alone Zhang Laosan's.

Even the founder, the master Tieqiao San, was no match for Gu Ruzhang.

The Grandmaster of Embracing the Elixir, a master of external martial arts, possessed the Iron Wire Fist. Although his arms had no steel rings, they were more ferocious than steel, and he didn't need any weapons at all.

The palm strike stirred a gentle breeze on the blue brick floor, but Chen Zhan seemed oblivious. As the palm approached, Chen Zhan's eyebrows twitched slightly beneath his golden chariot, but he did not engage in a direct confrontation.

With a light touch on the wrist, the left hand, like a bird grasping a sparrow's tail, combined with the Tai Chi "silk coiling energy" and the Xingyi "listening to the bridge" technique, redirected the immense palm force to the feet.

"boom!"

The blue bricks shattered with a crash, and shards of stone flew like locusts!
"Impressive! A perfect blend of strength and flexibility. It was just a small test for the Chinese Alliance." Gu Ruzhang was not flustered at all when he saw that his Iron Wire Fist had been neutralized. Instead, he laughed heartily.

At that time in the Chinese Alliance, Chen Zhan also used a move of the Golden Frame to block Huang Xiaoxia's punch, but that was a head-on collision. Taizu Changquan conquered the world, and no one was afraid of head-on collisions.

Now, Chen Zhan actually incorporated the silk-reeling energy of Tai Chi into Taizu Long Fist!
Before he finished speaking, he slammed his left palm into the ground, shattering a piece of bluestone and creating a large hole.

Using the force of the impact of slapping the ground, he charged forward like a cannonball, his right palm retracting to his waist, his arm muscles bulging like cast iron, his palm gleaming with a dark luster.

The Iron Palm technique, "Pushing a Mountain with One Palm"!
This palm strike carried no extra wind, yet it exuded a crushing force. Gu Ruzhang's Iron Sand Palm was different from ordinary hard kung fu. In his early years, he practiced "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" with his father, and later integrated the "Four-Level Force" of Hung Kuen. His palm force could penetrate three layers of cowhide, and even bluestone could be crushed into powder.

After mastering the "Embrace the Dan and Sit on the Hips" technique, he became extraordinary. He mastered the Iron Sand Palm, an external martial art, to a level that combined both hardness and softness, with internal and external strength that was indescribably powerful!
At this moment on the arena, before his palm even landed, Chen Zhan already felt the air in front of him being compressed and stagnant, as if a small mountain was pressing down on him.

Chen Zhan remained standing on his golden throne, displaying an air of composure amidst the turmoil.

But just as Gu Ruzhang's palm reached half a foot, Chen Zhan suddenly exhaled and spoke, "Perfect timing to test the Grandmaster's Iron Sand Palm and see what wonders it holds!"

His dantian trembled like thunder, and his right fist transformed into a "mountain-crushing cannon," unleashing a powerful punch.

Gu Ruzhang shouted, "Well done!"

Iron Sand Palm is as black as ink, with fists and palms colliding with each other.

"Bang!!!"

The sound was deafening!

The bluestone beneath their feet splintered into a cloud of debris, even obscuring part of their vision.

"Such power? Holy crap!"

"Who won? Who won? I can't see clearly." The two fought on the stage, their figures covered by rubble and dust, but the dust quickly settled.

Chen Zhan's posture remained unchanged, and he didn't move an inch. His golden throne was as steady as Mount Tai, while Gu Ruzhang opposite him also seemed unchanged, and he had not been driven back.

"Is it a draw?"

"No, no, look at your feet!"

Some astute observers noticed that although neither of them appeared to have moved, Gu Ruzhang seemed to have shrunk in stature.

His feet had sunk beneath the bluestone, covered in debris.

Having just released his strength, he stepped onto the ring with both feet.

"Sitting on the golden throne, ruling over the eight wastelands, the Alliance Leader's Taizu Long Fist is so fierce!"

"Want to keep fighting? You probably haven't gone all out yet," Chen Zhan said with a smile.

"Fight! We've got a rare opponent, let's fight it out!"

Gu Ruzhang's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly lowered his waist and firmly planted himself in a stable stance. He unleashed his power from his dantian and pushed out with both palms at the same time!

"Two lions present auspicious gifts!"
This is a combined move of Iron Sand Palm and Iron Wire Fist. This move is even more ferocious, more ruthless, and more powerful than the previous one. It was the first move Gu Ruzhang used after embracing the Dantian, and it is also the most powerful move he has ever made.

He knows many kung fu styles, but the most powerful are Hung Kuen and Iron Palm, which combine internal and external techniques to create a formidable force!
The palm strike covered an area of ​​about ten feet, the wind howling, minimizing Chen Zhan's room to dodge and forcing him to take the blow head-on.

There's no need to force him; Gu Ruzhang is clearly going to fight hard. If Chen Zhan dodges or retreats, it's simple, but it loses its meaning.

After all, the two were not engaged in a life-or-death struggle, and their goal was not to kill the enemy and take their lives.

Chen Zhan's eyes flashed, becoming more serious. Gu Ruzhang's move was indeed fierce, already possessing the power of Wang Ziping before he opened his Qi and Blood.

Wang Ziping can be a grandmaster from the outside in; his qi, blood, muscles, and bones are different.

Gu Ruzhang's level of skill is already quite terrifying.

Chen Zhan's dantian sank slightly, like a golden toad lying in water. Suddenly, he rose to the surface, opened his mouth, and spat out a golden pill. The golden pill circulated in his dantian, and his qi and blood condensed. A lifelike divine tiger, composed entirely of qi and blood, quickly manifested.

The Qi and Blood Divine Tiger exuded an elusive and untouchable terror.

The emanating energy flowed into Chen Zhan's limbs and fists, and a ripple finally appeared in his eyes. His "Sitting on the Golden Throne" stance suddenly changed, his left shoulder slightly lowered, and his right fist slowly pushed out.

Xingyi Bengquan!

Logically speaking, the Bengquan (崩拳) technique requires accumulating power through continuous steps and movements to build up its momentum and become truly ferocious.

The power of the Half-Step Crushing Fist is inseparable from the power accumulated by taking a half-step.

But Chen Zhan used a stationary, explosive punch!

Unlike Gao Zhendong's powerful and outward-facing movements, Chen Zhan's Bengquan (a type of fist technique) appears slow and unremarkable!

Gu Ruzhang's eyes also showed a hint of confusion. Chen Zhan's Bengquan move did not reveal many clues. His tendons, bones, qi and blood were all normal Bengquan moves.

But the moment the two made contact, their forces clashed, and his dual strength, combining internal and external, rushed into Chen Zhan's arm.

In Gu Ruzhang's imagination, Chen Zhan also possessed both hidden strength and raw power.

It's a contest of who has the fiercest and most domineering strength.

But a moment later, Gu Ruzhang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wait a minute! How come you have another level??"

"Oh!"

Before he could finish speaking, his figure flew across the ground, his feet sinking into the bluestone of the arena, leaving two deep chasms in the ground!

The fall from the ring was unstoppable and was about to fall off, not in the direction where Wan Laisheng was. Wan Laisheng moved to catch Gu Ruzhang.

But Chen Zhan had already reached the edge of the arena. He reached out and grabbed Gu Ruzhang, stopping him in his tracks.

The two returned to the center of the arena, by which time the smoke and dust had dissipated.
