CHAPTER 265: 【135】YELLOW EMPEROR MERIDIAN MAP_3

His toe was as straight as a spear, aiming directly at Wang Longhu’s face.

Before the toe reached, Wang Longhu already felt a gust of wind sweeping across his face, causing a stinging pain.

One of the martial arts of the Five Poison Sect, Centipede Elastic Leg!

"Qiao Qichong!"

Seeing the robed old man launching the sneak attack, Wang Longhu instantly recognized the individual’s identity.

"Wang Longhu, you killed my two junior brothers. Today, I will kill you, so they can rest in peace in the afterlife!"

Qiao Qichong’s leg technique was fierce, the Centipede Elastic Leg was famous for its speed. The martial artist’s kicks rebounded swiftly like lightning, appearing as if multiple legs were kicking simultaneously, resembling a thousand-legged centipede, making it impossible to defend against.

According to Fifth Lord, when his master was young, he could achieve seven kicks in two seconds, snapping a tree trunk as thick as a human leg in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Crushed by the power of Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind, Wang Longhu couldn’t move. His head was struck directly by Qiao Qichong.

For a moment, his head felt like it was being pounded with a sledgehammer, his vision blurred with stars, almost fainting.

Seeing Qiao Qichong ready to unleash a series of kicks, Wang Longhu erupted with all his might, forcibly grabbing the arms of Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind, giving a fierce tug.

Crack! Crack!

Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind’s thick arms dislocated instantly, bones piercing through the skin, the suppressing force dissipating at once.

Wang Longhu braced his waist, knocking Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind’s body away, narrowly avoiding Qiao Qichong’s shadowy kicks.

Qiao Qichong wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to chase after Wang Longhu, quickly catching up, a kick aimed straight at Wang Longhu’s lower back.

This time Wang Longhu didn’t plan to dodge again, spinning around to deliver a kick, colliding heavily with Qiao Qichong’s foot.

Bang!

Their shoes and pants exploded instantly, unable to withstand such forceful impact.

With Qiao Qichong’s pants ripping, his legs were immediately exposed to everyone’s view.

A true martial artist specializing in leg techniques, even though Qiao Qichong appeared skinny like a skeleton, his legs were extraordinarily robust, with an estimated circumference of about 50 cm.

Like Ma Bomeng’s body, Qiao Qichong’s skin also had human meridian patterns tattooed on, with numerous black needles inserted at acupoints.

"Hmm!" Seeing Qiao Qichong’s abnormal body, Wang Longhu’s eyes twitched.

Both of these brothers have such strange meridian patterns on them, this is not a method of the Five Poison Sect.

According to Fifth Lord earlier, he didn’t believe his few junior brothers could reach Huajin Grandmaster level.

Yet after coming to Vietnam, the truth faced by Tan Yuejin, Ma Bomeng, and Qiao Qichong over these decades, all achieved the Huajin Grandmaster dream of Fifth Lord, which was thought to be unattainable.

Previously Wang Longhu thought it might be due to the trio’s luck, but now it seems the secret to them becoming Huajin Grandmasters is likely hidden in these tattooed human meridian maps on their bodies.

"Competing with me in leg techniques?" Qiao Qichong’s face filled with arrogance, as he exerted force in his legs.

All the black needles inserted in his leg’s acupoints shot out from his body, clattering to the ground.

Without the suppression of the black needles, Qiao Qichong’s legs immediately began to engorge and turn black, the circumference swelling again to an exaggerated 60 cm.

"The White Lotus Society’s research on the Yellow Emperor Meridian Map has reached this level." Nearby, Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind, knocked away by Wang Longhu, climbed up from the ground, awed at Qiao Qichong’s leg anomaly.

From his tone, this person clearly knew some inside story.

"White Lotus Society, the Yellow Emperor Meridian Map..." Wang Longhu frowned.

He remembered the White Lotus Society was also a martial artist force in East Asia comparable to the Heaven and Earth Alliance, rooted around the Korean Peninsula.

Previously, when Ma Bomeng sparred with him, he used Wu Dao H-12 in front of Wang Longhu, now employing White Lotus Society’s methods.

It indicates that the Four Poison Hall, in private, not only traded with the Heaven and Earth Alliance, but also had dealings with the White Lotus Society.

It is precisely by relying on the methods of these two major forces from East Asia that Qiao Qichong and Ma Bomeng could become Huajin Grandmasters.

Wang Longhu suddenly understood. At this time, Qiao Qichong had already kicked as fast as lightning, his leg movements like a rainstorm surrounding Wang Longhu.

In a flash, Wang Longhu only saw at least a dozen leg shadows before him, each lifelike, making it impossible to discern which leg was real.

Twelve kicks in a second!

"What a fast leg technique." Wang Longhu swiftly raised an arm to block, as Qiao Qichong’s foot suddenly struck his body, every kick heavy as a mountain, making Wang Longhu’s skin tingle, his internal organs quivered profoundly.

If it weren’t for Wang Longhu’s strong physique, these dozen kicks would have turned him into a cripple with shattered bones all over.

As a leg shadow lunged toward Wang Longhu’s chest, at that moment, Wang Longhu’s eyes focused, both hands suddenly grabbing, catching the ankle of the leg shadow.

"What?!" Feeling his ankle being caught, unable to move or retract it, Qiao Qichong’s face instantly changed.

For decades, he had honed his Centipede Elastic Leg, achieving a peak of fourteen kicks a second, having never met a match due to its swift, lightning-like nature.

And no one had ever managed to capture Qiao Qichong’s leg, his confidence unwavering.

Not even the Heaven and Earth Alliance Leader could seize his Centipede Elastic Leg.

But today, the unexpected happened.

His proud swift legs were caught by Wang Longhu, an utter humiliation!

The legs of a martial artist are crucial, representing their foundation. With legs seized, balance is lost, akin to having one’s life source grasped.

"Centipede Elastic Leg, huh? Today, I’m going to disable your centipede leg," Wang Longhu raised his hand, striking down hard.

His hand blade struck Qiao Qichong’s knee with force, the ming and hidden energies exploded, Qiao Qichong’s entire knee cap shattered instantly into a pile of dust.

"Ah!!!"

As Qiao Qichong let out a heartrending scream, large beads of hot sweat poured from his face.

He clutched his thigh in devastation, shouting in disbelief, "No, no! No!"

For a martial artist who specialized in leg techniques, a shattered knee cap practically meant their martial arts career was over; they could never practice leg techniques again.

Once severely injured, they were doomed to a lifetime of wasted skills.

"Useless,"

Qiao Qichong’s leg being crippled didn’t concern Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind in the least; instead, he derisively cursed him.

Although Chen Chongyue invited him to Vietnam to deal with Wang Longhu, Xiaogong Yellow Spring Wind, as one of the Heaven and Earth Alliance’s five elders, never regarded Qiao Qichong as an ally from the heart.

Waste is of no value to be given notice.
