Dao Qi Wu Zang Guan Guan: I became a Daoist Master in the 1990s

Chapter 121 In a daze, intention and energy unite!
A cool sensation flowed down from between his brows, instantly soothing the anxiety and deliberate effort in his heart.

The next moment, he felt as if his mind had suddenly split in two.

Some were still tensely maneuvering their bodies to block, dodge, and counterattack;
The other part, however, suddenly rose to a higher level, becoming exceptionally clear, ethereal, and calm, as if detached from the situation.

"Huh?!" Song Dingqian instantly sensed the sudden change in Qi Yun's aura and was shocked. "No way? He... broke through?"

At this moment, Qi Yun's feelings were even more peculiar.

It was as if he had opened another pair of "eyes" three feet above his head, "overlooking" the battle below with an absolutely calm and objective perspective.

From this "overlooking" perspective, Song Dingqian's originally swift and fierce attack seemed to become clearer and even slightly "slower".

His own body, without him even having to consciously command it, naturally produced the simplest, most effective, and most consistent reactions that best suited his own strength and foundation!
This reaction is no longer confined to the framework of Xingyiquan.

The Five Elements Thunder Finger's fierce thrusts and the Stepping Step's exquisite evasions can be used effortlessly and smoothly when needed, perfectly integrated with Xingyi Quan without any hindrance!

In an instant, Qi Yun maintained his defensive stance, but his counterattack suddenly became fierce.

Sometimes he would unleash a Xingyi Cannon Fist, only to transform it into a sword finger that pierced a vital point halfway through; other times he would seem to be retreating with a stepping stance, but would instead wade through the mud and deliver a tricky drilling fist.

Song Dingqian felt the pressure increase sharply, his tiger-like eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he shouted in a low voice: "Well done!"

He dared not hold back any longer, unleashing his full power. The sharp light that had been flashing in his eyes immediately subsided, and in the interplay of his fists and palms, he actually integrated the ferocity of Bajiquan with the fluidity of Baguazhang. His speed, strength, and skill rose again, allowing him to withstand Qi Yun's sudden transformation.

Both of them had entered a wonderful state of "unity of mind and breath". Although they did not use their true qi, the sound of their fists colliding became more and more frequent and loud, like the beating of war drums.

boom!
Snapped!
Boom!
A strong wind swept across the area, causing dust to fly everywhere.

The hard ground beneath their feet was trampled into shallow pits.

With all their might, their shoes couldn't withstand the strain and burst open with a "rip," turning into shreds that flew everywhere, leaving both of them barefoot.

Amidst the billowing dust, two figures could be seen clashing with each other at lightning speed and head-on!

With a single clash of fists, the sleeves of both men's clothes were shattered by the immense force, fluttering like butterflies and revealing four muscular, veiny arms brimming with explosive power!

As Song Dingqian got into the swing of things, he suddenly took a step back, twisted his waist and turned his hips, and instantly closed in on the center of the opponent's body. He used the Bajiquan killing move "Iron Mountain Lean" and slammed his shoulders and arms into the opponent's body!

If this impact were to be solid, even a stone tablet would crack!
With a clear mind, Qi Yun made an instant judgment from his "overlooking" perspective, and his exquisite footwork of the Stepping Stance flowed naturally as he dodged to the side at the last possible moment.

call!
Song Dingqian's Iron Mountain Lean just grazed Qi Yun's chest, the fierce wind hitting the air and producing a muffled sound like a sonic boom!
He clenched his fists tightly, and his blood and qi surged within him. Streams of jet-black, condensed true qi surged from his arms, coiling around them and transforming into two massive black hammers that looked just like real objects!
His entire aura changed again, like an unparalleled general on an ancient battlefield wielding a golden hammer and crushing thousands of troops, his fierce and domineering aura sweeping across the four directions!
With a stomp of his foot, a huge crater the size of a washbasin exploded in the ground, and amidst the flying dust, he charged forward like a black cannonball!

Qi Yun was inspired and no longer bound by convention.

He shrugged, and instantly took off his coat, clutching it in his hand.

With a sudden flick of his wrist, pure, milky-white Qi rapidly poured into it!
Chi la la!
The soft cotton coat was instantly stretched taut by the true qi, and the internal fibers twisted and condensed wildly under the influence of the true qi, transforming into a large white spear!

Xingyi originated from spear techniques, and the principles of boxing and spear techniques are extremely interconnected!
Qi Yun exhaled and spoke, twisting his waist and thrusting his hips, unleashing a "Beng Qiang" (崩枪) strike from the Xingyi spear technique, aimed directly at Song Dingqian's massive double-fisted hammers! The tip of the spear flashed coldly, striking the center of the double hammers with unparalleled precision!
Bang!
The two streams of true energy collided violently, producing a loud explosion.

Qi Yun's true qi was clearly more condensed and pure. Although its quantity was not as vast and domineering as Song Dingqian's black true qi, it broke through the surface with a single point, and actually pushed the two black giant hammers upwards, exposing the weakness in the middle!

However, the cloth gun was ultimately made of clothing. When subjected to such a tremendous force, the spearhead could not withstand it and exploded instantly, leaving only half of the gun body.

Song Dingqian reacted extremely quickly. The moment his double hammers were deflected, the black energy on his arms turned, and the giant hammers instantly transformed into two condensed black hand blades. He unleashed the fierce cutting move "Double Palm Strike" from Bagua Palm, swiftly slashing at Qi Yun's open chest!
Qi Yun slid backward, flicked the remaining half of the cloth spear in his hand, and poured true qi into it, making it incredibly flexible, like a soft sword. He then unleashed the Water Element Entangling Silk Sword move!

The soft "cloth sword" was like a serpent, spinning and coiling rapidly, and in an instant it firmly bound Song Dingqian's arms that were about to be slashed!
Qi Yun pulled with all his might!
Stab it!

The cloth sword shattered into countless fragments and dust in an instant, exploding with a deafening roar!

However, Song Dingqian's arm was also cut by the cloth containing true qi and sharp sword energy, leaving more than a dozen fine bloodstains, and blood seeped out instantly.

Song Dingqian, however, seemed oblivious, and instead laughed even harder: "Good! Good tricks!"

He took a deep breath, and his blood and qi erupted like a volcano. An even more surging black true qi burst forth from his body, completely enveloping his arms. The black true qi almost solidified into a tangible substance!
His body visibly swelled up, his muscles bulged, and his already torn clothes were completely stretched open, revealing his strong, bronze upper body. His aura became even more ferocious and terrifying, like a humanoid beast!
Qi Yun was also filled with fighting spirit. He pointed his fingers like a sword, and milky white true qi was highly concentrated at his fingertips, extending into a foot-long, crystal clear, and incomparably sharp sword light!

At the same time, the fire in the heart was activated, and suddenly wisps of intensely rotating orange-red heart fire wrapped around the white sword light, emitting a chilling sword intent!

Just as the true qi was about to fully erupt and the next earth-shattering collision was about to occur.

"enough!"

A low growl, like a thunderclap, rang out from the sidelines!
A dark figure moved with ghostly speed, instantly inserting itself between the two. It was none other than Zhong Weiguo, whose face was solemn!
Qi Yun and Song Dingqian were both jolted awake from their intense battle state.

Seeing the mess in the room and Zhong Weiguo's ugly face, the two immediately withdrew their true qi.

Qi Yun spoke first, looking ashamed: "Captain Song, I'm sorry, I got carried away and broke the agreement."

Song Dingqian, however, shook his bleeding arm nonchalantly and said boldly, "It's not Master Qi's fault!"

When intention and energy unite, the vital energies interact and compete with each other with all their might. Changes are made at will, and control is no longer entirely autonomous.

This is the true essence of martial arts sparring! Exhilarating! Truly exhilarating!

He looked at Qi Yun, his eyes full of admiration: "However, in that last move, I, Old Song, was defeated. Abbot, your skills are truly remarkable!"

Qi Yun dispersed the true qi of the sword and smiled slightly: "Captain Song, what are you saying? Sparring and exchanging skills is meant to be an exchange, so how can there be a distinction between victory and defeat?"

On the contrary, I should thank Captain Song for his invaluable guidance and sparring partnership.

The two exchanged a glance, recalling the exhilarating and boundary-pushing battle they had just fought, and burst into laughter at the same time. Their laughter carried far under the quiet night sky, filled with pride and joy.

Only Zhong Weiguo looked helpless at this moment, and began to think about sealing off the place immediately and having everyone sign a confidentiality agreement.

Looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight!
