Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Chapter 96 The Battle with Zhang Sanfeng (3)

In an instant, Zhang Sanfeng's true energy condensed, forming an invisible wall of energy. The wall of energy was warm and gentle, with a faint halo, and it was the Tai Chi energy wall.

This wall of energy is completely different from the Tai Chi Chuan and Tai Chi Sword of the past. No matter whether Su Xin's punches are light or heavy, real or feint, they are like hitting cotton when they hit the wall of energy. The force is instantly dissolved and cannot shake the wall of energy in the slightest.

Su Xin threw several punches in succession, but they were all easily neutralized by the Tai Chi Qi Wall. He stopped and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes. He already understood.

Previously, Zhang Sanfeng was not going all out; he was merely feeding himself new moves, testing his own strength, and secretly guiding himself to break through.

This can be considered repaying a favor from before!

The Tai Chi energy wall before him was Zhang Sanfeng's true strength. At his current level, it would be almost impossible for him to break through this energy wall.

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Su Xin with a gratified smile, his tone tinged with praise: "Young friend, you are exceptionally talented, able to comprehend the Dao on the spot, which is truly rare. You have already pushed this old Daoist to the brink, almost forcing out all my trump cards. This Tai Chi Qi Wall is my last resort; if you can break it, you will be the winner today."

This Tai Chi energy wall, though not as domineering as the legendary sweeping monk's three-foot energy wall, is more gentle and more resilient. It uses softness to neutralize force, making it impeccable and bringing the essence of Tai Chi Chuan—"overcoming hardness with softness"—to its extreme.

The onlookers in the square were stunned. They had never seen such amazing martial arts before, and their awe of Zhang Sanfeng deepened even further.

Su Xin's gaze was fixed on the gentle Tai Chi energy barrier, and the image of the storm at the beach that day involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

At that time, he was able to break through the extreme water pressure and violent ocean currents at the bottom of the sea with his inch force. Could it be that this seemingly gentle Tai Chi Qi wall is even more resilient than that storm?

A surge of indomitable spirit welled up within him, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes. Today, he was determined to break through this Tai Chi energy barrier and determine who was superior to Zhang Sanfeng.

Without further hesitation, Su Xin's aura surged instantly, and the internal energy within his body surged wildly towards his hands like a rushing river. He no longer held back any of his strength, mobilizing all the power he could muster.

The fierce power of Vajra Force, the poisonous power of Thousand Spider Poison Hand, and the fierce internal energy of Seven Injury Fist all converged on his fists. The three forces intertwined and entangled, violent yet condensed. The air around him was stirred up by this terrifying force, causing violent fluctuations, and even the surrounding clouds were shaken and scattered.

Zhang Sanfeng, who was opposite him, sensed the terrifying aura surrounding Su Xin, and his expression instantly became more and more solemn. He knew that Su Xin was about to use his full strength.

He dared not slacken in the slightest and immediately increased the output of his internal energy. A continuous stream of internal energy surged towards the Tai Chi energy wall in front of him. The already warm and thick energy wall became even more powerful, and its aura became even more intense, like an impregnable fortress.

He knew in his heart that this Tai Chi energy wall was his last resort; if the energy wall was broken, he would lose.

After all, he was over a hundred years old, and his physical strength was no longer what it used to be. His true energy was too depleted, so he had no power to fight back.

Su Xin could clearly feel that the power within his body was becoming increasingly violent. The three forces intertwined, like a volcano about to erupt, which could break through his control at any moment.

He gritted his teeth, desperately suppressing the violent energy within his body, as if suppressing a balloon that had expanded to its limit. The more he suppressed it, the more condensed and violent the energy became. His meridians throbbed with pain, as if they were about to burst at any moment.

Fortunately, he had practiced the Seven Injury Fist for many years. Although it damaged his internal organs, it also made his meridians several times stronger than those of an ordinary person, which allowed him to barely withstand the impact of this violent force.

Thanks to the dual medical and poison techniques of the Thousand Spider Poison Hand, even if the meridians are damaged, they can be quickly repaired by transforming poison into qi. Otherwise, if the force is pushed so hard, the meridians will definitely be severely damaged, and it will take at least a month or two to recover.

The power of the inch strike had reached its limit, and Su Xin could no longer suppress the force within his body. He stomped his foot and his figure appeared in front of Zhang Sanfeng in an instant, as fast as an arrow, leaving only a blur.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly threw out his right fist, which was filled with all his strength. It seemed slow, but it carried a world-destroying momentum. The inch force completely exploded at this moment. All the suppressed power, as if it had found an outlet, surged toward the Tai Chi energy wall.

"Bang"

A deafening roar echoed throughout Wudang Mountain. The moment their energies collided, a visible shockwave spread wildly outward from the two individuals, forcing the surrounding Wudang and Emei disciples to retreat. Their robes fluttered in the wind, and even the roof tiles of Zixiao Palace trembled slightly.

The energy Su Xin unleashed was like a rapidly flying bullet, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it drilled straight into the Tai Chi energy wall. The violent force crashed into the warm energy wall, producing a muffled roar. The energy wall trembled violently, its halo flickering as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Zhang Sanfeng felt a tremendous force rushing towards him, his chest tightened, and he involuntarily took a step back, leaving a shallow crack in the bluestone slab beneath his feet.

He dared not pause for a moment, his hands moving rapidly in circles, releasing all the remaining true energy in his body to condense into small Tai Chi energy walls in front of him, layer upon layer, like a barrier, blocking Su Xin's strongest attack and attempting to completely neutralize this violent force.

The onlookers in the square held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two figures in the center of the square and the trembling air wall, their hearts filled with shock.

Yin Li clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, her eyes filled with tension, fearing that something might happen to Su Xin;

The Seven Heroes of Wudang looked solemn. They had never seen their master in such a sorry state, nor had they ever seen anyone push their master to such a point.

Su Xin felt completely drained!

He had no internal energy left; he had used up all his strength in that single strike.

This is the power of a short burst of force!

Although it did not provide any help in terms of internal strength, it has made a qualitative leap in explosive power.

No matter how tightly the net of Tai Chi Chuan binds you, the inch force is like a sharp knife, cutting through the layers of this net.

Ji Xiaofu glanced at Su Xin, her eyes filled with admiration, her original affection now tinged with respect.

She made people afraid to approach her, and perhaps her choice was right. How could such a person be bound by a woman? Fortunately, she had a profound realization.

Su Li was now filled with admiration. Su Xin, based on today's battle, had already become one of the top martial artists in the world, alongside Zhang Sanfeng.

He should have no regrets!

Only now did Zhang Wuji realize how vast the gap was between him and Su Xin.

Yin Susu: "Fortunately, we didn't become enemies with them."

A loud bugle call rang out in the distance.
