Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Soon, led by Gong Baosen, the group arrived at the Gong family's residence.

To Shen Hao's surprise, the Gong family's estate occupied a considerable area.

Although it wasn't as luxurious and grand as the Zhang Mansion, it was still very large.

The courtyard has three entrances and three exits, and it is especially large. On both sides, there are knives, spears, swords, clubs, and wooden dummy stakes.

Gong Baosen gestured to Shen Hao, saying, "Commander Shen, please."

Upon entering the courtyard, Gong Baosen hurriedly ordered, "Someone, we have distinguished guests. Prepare some fine tea for us."

"Yes, Master."

A moment later, dozens of men in training clothes and a girl came out.

Gong Baosen didn't have many disciples, less than ten in total. One of them was a girl, similar in appearance to Zhang Shoufang, who was probably his daughter.

"Go and bring over a folding chair so our distinguished guest can sit down."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone was curious about Shen Hao's identity, since his master treated him with such high regard.

The folding chair is not a seat for just anyone.

After Shen Hao sat down.

Gong Baosen introduced Shen Hao, saying, "This is my daughter, Gong Ruomei."

"This is my eldest apprentice, Ma San."

Shen Hao took a closer look at Ma San and realized he really was a thug in a suit.

It seems they later beat their master, Gong Baosen, to death.

550 killed his master simply because he didn't make him famous.

If Gong Baosen knew he was raising an ungrateful child, wouldn't he be furious?

Shen Hao remembered this guy; he seemed to have even sided with the Japanese.

He's a complete traitor.

"This is my third apprentice..."

Then, pointing to a middle-aged man with a monkey on his shoulder, he said, "Commander Shen, this is my steward, Lucky Star, who is skilled with a knife."

Shen Hao nodded.

Huang Qiying, who was standing nearby, explained, "This butler was the executioner in the past."

A monkey was perched on Fuxing's shoulder, and the knowledgeable Huang Qiying could tell at a glance that this person was most likely an executioner.

Seeing Shen Hao's puzzled expression, Huang Qiying explained, "In the martial arts world, wielding a knife and raising monkeys is something only executioners do."

Raising monkeys was a way to hone one's skills. Monkeys have the same neck bones as humans, and these executioners, by frequently touching the back of the monkeys' necks, developed an extremely precise ability to decapitate people over time.

Shen Hao said, "I see."

At this moment, Gong Baosen introduced Shen Hao to everyone.

"This is Shen Hao, the commander of the 18th Division of the Beiyang Army. Show him respect when you see him in the future."

"It's master"

The young girl, Miyako no Ninomiya, stood to the side, her cool face showing curiosity. She couldn't understand how someone so young, almost the same age as her senior brother, could already be a teacher.

Immediately afterward, Gong Baosen said to Shen Hao, "Commander Shen, I would like to have a friendly spar with Master Huang. Is that alright?"

163. Defeated in two moves, Gong Er concedes defeat.

"Since you're all so interested, let's have a friendly spar and let me broaden my horizons," Shen Hao said with a smile.

I don't know much about the world of Chinese martial arts.

Although Shen Hao has the legacy of Ip Man.

But I've never actually seen a match between masters of the Transformation Realm.

It's difficult for ordinary people to see.

Huang Qiying was one of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, and Gong Baosen was a master of the Imperial Guard. They were proficient in Baguazhang and Xingyiquan, and created the Gong Family Sixty-Four Hands.

Both of them are masters of internal energy transformation, making this a very interesting show to watch.

Shen Hao was also very much looking forward to it.

Zhang Shoufang had no interest in these martial arts competitions; her eyes were fixed on Shen Hao's face, staring at him intently.

She didn't blink, her eyes were full of infatuation.

Gong Er, standing to the side, looked at Zhang Shoufang's infatuated expression and curled her lips in disdain.

She looks down on women who are infatuated with men.

The yard was quickly cleared out.

Gong Baosen and Huang Qiying both stood on plum blossom stakes.

Standing opposite each other.

This tests not only hand skills, but also lower body strength and body movement.

The unwritten rule is that whoever falls down loses.

Gong Baosen extended his hand and said, "Master Huang, you are the guest, please go first."

"When in Rome, do as the host does. Please, Master Gong, go first," Huang Qiying said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After speaking, Gong Baosen's smile faded, and his eyes sharpened.

Start rotating around the plum blossom stake from left to right.

Huang Qiying also looked solemn and followed suit.

Suddenly, Gong Baosen moved. With a turn and a slight twist, he quickly reached Huang Qiying.

The footwork is very agile.

He reached straight up to the chest with his palm.

Huang Qiying blocked with her elbow.

In a split second, Gong Baosen feinted a move, then used his palm to transform into a hand chop, aiming for Huang Qiying's neck.

speedy.

Huang Qiying remained calm and unhurried, stepping forward with her left foot to the right and then pointing her right foot forward into a horse stance.

He blocked the knife with his left palm.

At the same time, his right hand pierced Gong Baosen's abdomen.

speedy.

Seeing this, Gong Baosen quickly took a step back with his left foot, touched the ground with the toes of his right foot, and assumed a defensive posture.

He turned his hands into palms and pushed them upwards; this was his signature move, the Old Ape Hanging Seal.

Huang Qiying didn't dare to be careless either. She changed her hands into palms, then moved them upwards, to the left, and then to the right, pushing away Gong Baosen's palms.

This is also one of Huang Qiying's signature moves, Tiger Crane Double Form Fist: One-Legged Flying Crane Dismantles Double Swords to Cut the Bridge.

In just a few breaths, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows.

Every move was ruthless, yet he showed mercy nonetheless.

With a wave of his hand, a rustling sound was made.

Huang Qiying suddenly turned around and kicked backward, but Gong Baosen dodged it. With a crack, he kicked the wooden stake away.

Gong Baosen, who had just been on the defensive, immediately switched to offense, took a small step forward, and delivered a half-step punch.

Huang Qiying opened it with a single palm strike.

The two sides fought hard to separate each other.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all 23 plum blossom stakes have been destroyed, leaving less than six good ones.

The sheer power of their every move captivated the onlookers.

A master of internal energy transformation, terrifying indeed!

Of course, the reason why the two were still fine after fighting for so long was because they hadn't used their full strength.

When masters clash in a life-or-death arena, the outcome is decided in just a few moves.

Of course, it also means that a person falls down or dies.

The two exchanged more than ten moves, testing each other's strength.

Then, Gong Baosen attacked again, his hand striking Huang Qiying's face.

Strike the jaw from bottom to top.
