CHAPTER 141: 【098】THE LU FAMILY’S SURPRISE RAID (PART 1)_4

It’s chaotic, completely chaotic.

The concept of fifteen Ming Jin experts collectively mobilizing is almost unimaginable.

On that rainy night at Chang Keng Top, if Yu Tianli had summoned fifteen Ming Jin experts to attack Wang Longhu and the others, even if Wang Longhu had mastered the Dark Force, his death that night at Chang Keng Top would have been inevitable, and even Old Qin couldn’t save him.

Ming Jin, among civilians, is already a peak existence, capable of overpowering ten robust adult men; ordinary people are simply no match for them.

Just as three Jeep Wranglers entered the Zheng family’s factory, a silhouette with stable feet appeared upon the branches of a towering tree measuring over twenty meters in height, stealthily observing everything from behind, hands behind the back.

It was Lu Pingshan’s adopted son, Lu Tieying.

"If everything proceeds according to plan, the local police definitely won’t notice anything unusual within two hours, which is enough time to locate the Purple Ganoderma stored in the Zheng Chong Jun Hall here." Lu Tieying thought to himself expressionlessly.

Having said that, Lu Tieying’s figure vanished like a specter in the blink of an eye, transforming into a shadow swiftly heading towards the factory.

According to the Lu family’s intelligence investigation, after failing to kidnap Zheng Song’s sole child last time, this fellow fled here to seek refuge. Presumably, he is now hiding within the factory, and capturing him might expedite questioning about the Purple Ganoderma’s hiding place.

"Leopard! Leopard!"

Wu Hujie tossed out the card in his hand, excitedly slapped the table, and shouted loudly.

The subordinate sitting opposite him looked dejected, not having anticipated Wu Hujie’s formidable hand.

In the midst of the smoke-filled room, among the shouting and beer-drinking crowd, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside, shocking Wu Hujie and his subordinates into an instinctive daze.

Instantly, Wu Hujie reacted, furious, turning to scold, "Damn it, are you looking for trouble?! Who are you to kick my door?!"

"So you’re Wu Hujie, huh? Looks like a fat pig. Wonder if you’re really as skilled as they say. Let me experience your Character Gate Fist!"

A tall, villainous man wearing leather pants and a tight vest strode in; he had a cigarette in his mouth and a centipede-shaped scar running from his eye to his chin, looking extremely menacing.

Seeing this man’s fists, roughened with calluses and notably larger than those of an ordinary person, Wu Hujie’s eyes instantly narrowed.

He could sense that this fellow is a master.

"All of you, back off." Wu Hujie commanded, dismissing his underlings who were preparing to fight the man, and solemnly set up his initial stance, a flexed knee and seated leg; this was the Pile Skill of the Character Gate Fist.

Character Gate Fist, also known as Tzu Gate Eight Methods, is a widely spread boxing style in Gan Province, brought by Mr. Yu Keren who learned Wudang Internal Boxing.

Legend has it that the Character Gate Fist was created by Wudang patriarch Zhang Sanfeng, refining an essence from Shaolin’s cloud hand, incorporating it into Wudang’s Tai Chi yin-yang techniques, thereby creating the Tzu Gate Eight Methods, showing its connection with Wudang Internal Boxing.

Practicing Character Gate Fist requires precise movements, rounded actions, stretching and coordination.

According to the boxing script, ’Dragon Claw, Tiger Tail, Crab Bow Back, Speed Wind Yin, Beauty Waist; Uncertain Positions;’ Yu Men Fist emphasizes posture: ’Sitting Bow Back’ which means drawing in the chest and arching the back, the chest should be drawn in, the back arched; the boxing script says ’The front chest must be tended, the sides exerted, the spine rounded to propel the body’.

Or ’Wind Avoids Yin, Beauty Waist’, which involves arching the waist and tucking the butt. Arching the waist refers to sitting with a downward relaxed waist, making the waist curve outward, tucking the butt is a posture where the butt naturally retracts after arching the waist, allowing for sinking energy, maintaining natural balance at the tailbone.

As Wu Hujie assumed the starting posture, the opponent already punched out, fast as an arrow, arriving before Wu Hujie quickly.

"What a fierce punch wind." Wu Hujie thought to himself, reaching out to catch, his palm covered the opponent’s fist, he saw his palm pull and draw, causing the opponent’s body to stagger a few steps forward unconsciously, as though drunk.

A martial artist who can cultivate Ming Jin definitely possesses years of skill in foundational training, their legs are firmly planted, not easily swayed by ordinary force.

Seeing himself easily pulled off balance by Wu Hujie, the Ming Jin expert from Hong Kong instantly showed a shocked look: "Tai Chi?"

Wu Hujie sneered once, without replying.

The essence of Character Gate Eight Methods emphasizes breaking, pushing, aiding, seizing, pulling, pressing, forcing, and absorbing; each method has its unique countering technique, countering movement with stillness, overcoming hardness with softness.

When this person acted, he already fell into Wu Hujie’s disadvantage, Character Gate Fist excels in counteracting and countering posterior moves.

Pulling utilizes the opponent’s force to align with their momentum; it allows leveraging to lead the opponent to stagger, featuring various pulling techniques: smooth pulling, dodging pull, sidestepping pull, winding pull.

Absorbing takes opponent’s force; if the enemy strikes me, it diverts and neutralizes force, evades reality for void, retreats as advance, absorbing chest and engulfing body, dodging and letting engulf.

As the Ming Jin expert was drawn in instantly, Wu Hujie launched a punch, but the opponent wasn’t an easy target, quickly stabiling his footing and delivering another punch.

Their fists collided strongly, Wu Hujie, despite his seemingly large physique, simply floated back a few steps; the opponent managed a punch, promptly shifted his stance, facing Wu Hujie’s center, quickly delivering rapid punches like a storm.

Front hand resembling a bow, rear hand following, suddenly up and down, guarding the center and ribs, embodying standard Shaolin Arhat Fist.
