Pa … pa … pa …
Kyokushin Genichi stood in the chest-high sea with his eyes closed, expressionless, letting the waves hit him.
The waves rushed to the shore endlessly, but Kyokushin Genichi stood unmoved, not using any true energy to stand in the sea.
What is the sea? Kyokushin Genichi listened to the sound of the waves and felt the waves hitting his body one by one. He never mobilized the true energy in his body to resist the impact of the waves.
He couldn't use true energy, he couldn't punch the incoming waves. Kyokushin Genichi faithfully executed Qin Fen's words and tried to understand Qin Fen's questions.
Three days ago, Qin Fen suddenly appeared in Tianbei City and directly found Kyokushin Genichi, who had retired early and lived in Tianbei City to secretly protect the two sisters, Yang Ruoruo and Yang Xixi.
According to the laws of the Federation, any soldier who had made military contributions to the army had the right to apply for early retirement. Under the leadership of Qin Fen in the last recruit tournament, the results soared wildly, leading to all the participants getting a second-class merit.
Kyokushin Genichi also chose to retire after Qin Fen went to the Sacred Martial Hall to protect the two sisters, Yang Ruoruo and Yang Xixi.
Wu Hui climbed out of the sea and picked up a clean towel to wipe his body and wet hair. He sat down beside Qin Fen, who was basking in the sun. He looked at Qin Fen curiously, "I say, Captain, you have been here for three days. Why haven't I seen you practice martial arts?"
Yu Xiao, who was sitting next to Qin Fen, had been fiddling with firearms. Occasionally, he would ask Qin Fen for advice. His face was filled with the same doubts.
Three days ago, Qin Fen came to Tianbei City to find Kyokushin Genichi and greeted the people from the security detachment. He had been enjoying the sea breeze and taking a walk by the sea.
Such a Qin Fen made everyone who was familiar with him curious. The captain of the security detachment in the past was a genuine martial arts fanatic. He trained with weights, practiced boxing under the sea, and even went to the sky battle network to find people to learn from.
However, in these three days, Qin Fen was no longer practicing martial arts like before. Instead, he was like an old man who enjoyed life, living the most peaceful and peaceful life.
"I have been practicing." Qin Fen sat up and looked at the wet beach, "It's just that you didn't notice."
Kyokushin Genichi opened his eyes and walked out of the sea. He couldn't hide the doubt in his eyes as he silently sat beside Qin Fen, forming a circle with the others.
"Practicing martial arts also requires adjustments." Qin Fen gazed at the azure sea. "Actually, practicing martial arts is no different from eating. When the food reached the stomach, the nutrients could be absorbed by the human body and converted into fat or excrement according to the different physiques of the individual. If it became excrement, it would completely leave the body. If it became fat, it would become a kind of sediment. It could be trained into strong muscles. We call the feeling of martial arts that we haven't completely absorbed, but haven't lost, the foundation. "
Qin Fen patted his belly, "I'm full now! No matter how much he ate, he wouldn't be able to move at all. His body wouldn't even be able to convert the energy into fat. If he forced himself to eat, he would only be able to fill himself up. Now I need to digest. So, don't be fooled by the fact that I don't train hard now, the speed of my martial arts improvement is faster than before. "
The people around Qin Fen looked at each other. They had never heard any martial arts seniors mention this kind of thing. As for whether it was true or false, it was indeed very difficult to distinguish.
"You don't believe me?" Qin Fen casually raised his hand and pointed at the sky far away from the sea. "It doesn't matter, you will know after watching me fight."
Fight!? Everyone was even more puzzled as they looked at the sky that Qin Fen pointed at. There was clearly nothing in the distance, why did he say it as if there was an opponent?
Kyokushin Genichi's ears twitched a few times and his eyes lit up instantly. Among everyone, he was the strongest except for Qin Fen. After completing the True Inborn Blood Transfusion Rebirth, his martial senses had been greatly improved than before. The sky far away from the sea erupted with a trace of skin-piercing hostility.
A black spot appeared in the sky. This black spot enlarged rapidly in everyone's sight. In the blink of an eye, the full appearance of the helicopter appeared.
The helicopter hovered over the beach, and a martial artist wearing a Neo Taekwondo uniform jumped out of the hatch.
Boom!
At a height of a hundred meters, the martial artist wearing a Neo Taekwondo uniform landed firmly on the sand. The vertical impact made the surrounding golden sand under his feet fly into the air. The aura of his appearance was like that of a god descending to earth from the myths and legends.
Qin Fen raised his eyes to size up the incoming person. He was wearing a white Neo Taekwondo uniform with a black belt embroidered with a golden flower. He was slender with well-proportioned muscles. His face was cold and arrogant. His high nose bridge gave him a bit of a Westerner's feeling. His white skin was full of healthy moisture. He looked like he was in his forties.
The Neo Taekwondo black belt embroidered with golden lace represented an extremely high status in Neo Taekwondo, and at the same time, it also represented real tyrannical strength.
In the entire Federation, Qin Fen only knew two people with golden lace embroidered black belts. One of them was the founder of Neo Taekwondo, Bae Seong-Joon, whom Qin Fen had met at the military airport and was going to fight to the death in a few days.
Apart from Bae Seong-Joon, there was only one person in the Federation with a black belt embroidered with golden lace.
Jang Cheon-Hyeok, the first disciple of Neo Taekwondo's Bae Seong-Joon! He was also the only martial artist in Neo Taekwondo apart from Bae Seong-Joon who had the strength of a martial dao master.
Rumor had it that after Jang Cheon-Hyeok entered the realm of martial dao master, he followed Bae Seong-Joon's arrangements and went to Europe to develop himself. He opened up the Neo Taekwondo market and at the same time, searched for good martial arts seedlings.
In recent years, Neo Taekwondo in Europe had made great progress under the development of Jang Cheon-Hyeok. Its reputation in Europe had caught up with Bae Seong-Joon's in Asia.
Kyokushin Genichi, out of the instinct of a martial artist, flashed in front of Qin Fen the moment he saw Jang Cheon-Hyeok. He stared at Jang Cheon-Hyeok, who descended from the sky like a god, with full vigilance.
Qin Fen's relationship with Neo Taekwondo was clear to anyone who understood Qin Fen and Neo Taekwondo. The sudden appearance of Jang Cheon-Hyeok, who was spreading martial arts in Europe, caused all the policemen to pull out their pistols in the first instance and collectively aim at this uninvited guest as a warning.
Jang Cheon-Hyeok's eyes swept across the crowd around Qin Fen and a cold snort came from the corner of his mouth. In the eyes of a martial dao master, these firearms were not much stronger than matchsticks.
"Get lost, I'm not looking for you."
Jang Cheon-Hyeok took a step forward. It was as if the ground under his feet had been shrunk into inches. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kyokushin Genichi.
Before anyone could react, Kyokushin Genichi felt as if he had been hit by a wall. His body, which had never been pushed by the waves, finally moved. His feet left the ground and he was sent flying.
Little Gun King Yu Xiao, who was standing in front of Qin Fen, suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. He had already flown into the air. The gun in his hand, which could easily take other people's lives, had also turned into a pile of twisted scrap iron and flew into the sky with him.
In the blink of an eye, all the people standing in front of Qin Fen and Jang Cheon-Hyeok suddenly flew off the ground, creating a completely unobstructed passage for both sides.
Jang Cheon-Hyeok raised his chin slightly and looked down at Qin Fen, who was sitting on the beach. "Qin Fen?"
Overbearing! Even more overbearing than the State of Korea's Bae Seong-Joon!
Qin Fen narrowed his eyes as he sized Jang Cheon-Hyeok up. As a man who dominated a region of Neo Taekwondo in Europe, his whole body exuded a domineering aura.
This aura seemed to have been deeply rooted in Jang Cheon-Hyeok.
It was never easy to spread Neo Taekwondo in places other than the birthplace of Neo Taekwondo.
There were so many types of paleo martial arts and neo martial arts. People had too many choices. There was no need to fly to practice the newly emerging Neo Taekwondo.
There was only one way to attract people overseas to learn, and that was to be able to fight!
Jang Cheon-Hyeok had been developing well in Europe these days. It wasn't because his business mind was outstanding, but because his fists were really hard enough! The Neo Taekwondo market in Europe was built by him again and again with his strength.
It could be said that the Neo Taekwondo market in Europe was built with the death of several martial dao masters as the cornerstone. Only then did it have the reputation it had today.
If one wanted to gain a foothold overseas, one must be ruthless and overbearing! If one was a modest gentleman, then someone would soon come knocking on the door and use the excuse of learning from each other to make a scene.
After a long time, Jang Cheon-Hyeok didn't know whether it was because he was born overbearing or because of the surrounding environment, but this overbearing aura had already entered his bones. At the same time, it made his martial dao even more vigorous.
"Yes."
Qin Fen sat on the ground and nodded gently. His eyebrows were tightly knitted together as he looked at the helicopter in the sky. He thought to himself that although his whereabouts weren't a secret, it shouldn't be so easy to find. It seemed that someone had revealed his whereabouts. But I wonder if it was that Lieutenant General Lee Myeong-Jeong who I couldn't find any trace of.
The moment Jang Cheon-Hyeok heard Qin Fen's answer, his pupils contracted again and again. His finger suddenly pointed at Qin Fen and then hooked vigorously as he shouted, "Get up!"
Kyokushin Genichi climbed up from the sand and shouted from afar, "Jang Cheon-Hyeok, what are you doing? Your master and my master have set a date for the duel, and you actually appeared here. Do you want to use up my master's strength despicably before the duel so that your master can take advantage of me? "
Take advantage of me? Jang Cheon-Hyeok snorted coldly. Kyokushin Genichi suddenly felt as if a spring thunder had exploded in his ears. Then, he heard this Neo Taekwondo master's overbearing and disdainful words, "Take advantage of me? What qualifications do you have to fight with my master? There is a saying in Zhongzhou, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Today, I'll beat you to death here and avenge my Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters. "
As soon as his voice fell, true energy erupted! The sand under Jang Cheon-Hyeok's feet was blown to both sides by the true energy. His overbearing aura seemed to be mixed with the sea breeze as it pressed towards Qin Fen.
Fifteen-star! Fifteen-star strength exuding a strong murderous aura! The strength that had truly entered the realm of martial dao master!
Qin Fen slowly got up and waved his hand gently, motioning everyone to retreat to the distance.
The destructive power of a duel between martial dao masters to the surrounding environment was too great. Even if it was just the wind from the fists and the pressure from the palms, the martial artists who were watching the battle nearby might be affected and injured.
Kyokushin Genichi waved his arms again and again under the questioning gazes of the others, silently leading the others to retreat quickly. This was not a place where they should stay. A duel between martial dao masters was no longer something they could help with.
After retreating three hundred meters, Kyokushin Genichi and the others looked at Qin Fen nervously. This was an unfair battle. If Jang Cheon-Hyeok won, it would naturally not benefit Qin Fen. Even if Jang Cheon-Hyeok lost, it would not benefit Qin Fen either.
In a few days, it would be the duel between Qin Fen and Jang Cheon-Hyeok's master, the Martial God of the State of Korea, Bae Seong-Joon.
As a martial dao master, even if Jang Cheon-Hyeok lost to Qin Fen, as long as he consumed a lot of Qin Fen's strength in the battle, or even did something to seriously injure Qin Fen, how would Qin Fen fight in the duel a few days later?
He would have to preserve his physical strength for the battle in the future. At the same time, he would have to keep himself uninjured and defeat his opponent! Kyokushin Genichi was very clear that his master, Qin Fen, was facing too many scruples this time.
And the most taboo thing in a duel between experts of the same level was to have scruples in one's heart before the duel.
Kyokushin Genichi stared at Jang Cheon-Hyeok hatefully, but he had to admit in his heart that this martial dao master who promoted Neo Taekwondo in Europe was very smart! His vision was also very accurate! He had chosen the best time to challenge!
Regarding this kind of challenge timing, Kyokushin Genichi found it hard to say that the other side was despicable. The situation between the two sides had long been a life-and-death situation. This time, Jang Cheon-Hyeok wasn't here to have a friendly spar. He was here to avenge his junior brothers and sisters, to kill Qin Fen.
A fight was not a treat. If Jang Cheon-Hyeok had a way to make Qin Fen sick, Kyokushin Genichi had no doubt that the other side could do such a thing.
As for giving everyone time to retreat, it was not because Jang Cheon-Hyeok had the spirit of protecting the weak or pursuing fairness. It was because he was very clear that the families of these people gathered around Qin Fen had very deep backgrounds. If the descendants of these forces were injured or even killed, things would become even more troublesome when these forces went crazy.
Three hundred meters! The moment Jang Cheon-Hyeok saw that everyone had retreated three hundred meters, his upper and lower eyelids quickly narrowed into a thin line as a cold smile blossomed on his lips.
Qin Fen's eyes shone brightly. His skin was sensitive enough to detect the dense killing intent hidden under the sea breeze. Even a martial dao master would find it difficult to sense this hidden killing intent. However, Qin Fen knew it immediately. Jang Cheon-Hyeok was about to launch a sneak attack!
The smile on Jang Cheon-Hyeok's lips had yet to disperse. His right hand, which was blooming with a golden radiance and looked like it was cast from copper and iron, was like a golden spear piercing Qin Fen's heart the moment his shoulder shook.
A spear that was as fast as lightning! Jang Cheon-Hyeok's arm tore through the air at a speed faster than the sound of the air being torn. Qin Fen felt a chill in his heart before he could even hear the sound of the golden spear tearing through the air.
Jang Cheon-Hyeok's palm, which was as fair and smooth as a baby's, had become as sharp as it was cast from copper and iron in the blink of an eye.
Neo Taekwondo's style: Vajra!
Jang Cheon-Hyeok had integrated his spear technique into his Vajra, creating his own Vajra! Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color. The golden spear of the Vajra style was like a two feet long spear. The spear pierced through the strong wind and went straight for Qin Fen's heart from below!
Jang Cheon-Hyeok, the promoter of Neo Taekwondo in Europe, who had stepped into the ranks of martial dao masters, suddenly launched a sneak attack. The sudden eruption of the Soul Suppressing Assassination sent sand and stones flying. His arm was like a golden spear, and his true energy was like a materialized sword!
The frontal attack of a martial dao master was already earth-shattering. The lethality of the sneak attack was multiplied. Jang Cheon-Hyeok, who had walked out of the Neo Taekwondo promotion in Europe, had already practiced this unique fighting style. He immediately felt that his attack was successful the moment he made his move!
"Sneak attack!?"
The moment Jang Cheon-Hyeok made his move, Qin Fen only sneered in his heart. If this sneak attack was used against other martial dao masters, perhaps it would be considered as a very secretive move, and the possibility of success was not zero.
"Using a sneak attack to deal with me?" Qin Fen sneered in his heart. Who am I? I am a super recruit trained by professionals like Squad Leader Hao! In terms of martial strength, Squad Leader Hao and the others were not strong enough. But in other professional fields, it would be a completely different concept.
Martial dao masters were only masters in the field of martial dao. When it came to sneak attacks and other new fields, they might be able to hide to a certain extent by relying on their martial strength, but they were far worse than real professionals.
Snipers were the biggest sneak attackers! Jang Cheon-Hyeok's sneak attack was like playing with a broadsword in front of Guan Yu in front of Qin Fen.
Facing the sudden change in the situation of the golden gunman, Qin Fen's squinted eyelids suddenly opened. Facing this golden gunman who had integrated the concept of Guardian Deity Style, Qin Fen did not retreat at all. Instead, he suddenly pushed the five fingers of his right hand outwards as his arm pressed down on his chest. His palm, the size of a palm-leaf fan, abruptly smacked towards the Guardian Deity Style.
Qin Fen's Banana Fan Splitting Air Palm turned into a hand-to-hand combat style. His true energy aura burst forth continuously. In a split second, his palm was twice as big as usual, and his fingers were even thicker than carrots!
Jang Cheon-Hyeok didn't expect Qin Fen's reaction to be so fast! Or it should be said that he didn't expect Qin Fen to know his sneak attack and the route of his sneak attack. A sharp glint flashed in Qin Fen's eyes as he twisted his wrist! A bright knife popped out from his sleeve!
The tip of the knife flicked and suddenly stabbed upwards! Aiming at Qin Fen's wrist, he made a sliding cut movement at the same time, locking onto Qin Fen's throat.
He had full confidence that this one stab would cut everything! Even if Qin Fen's arm was protected by the Guardian Deity War Body, his wrist would still be heavily injured and his throat would be slit!
His sneak attack was the real killer move. No martial artist of the same level in the world could take it! In the past, there were two martial dao masters who were stronger than him, but they also died under this attack! He didn't believe that Qin Fen, who was young and didn't have much combat experience, could take it.
In this one stab, Jang Cheon-Hyeok had infused his true energy and mind into the tip of the knife. At this moment, the knife was a real part of his body, it was his eyes and also his arm! He could even clearly feel the joints of Qin Fen's bones. No matter how exquisite Qin Fen's martial dao techniques were, he would not be able to resolve this fatal stab!
The strength of an ordinary person practicing with a knife could be easily taken away by an expert empty-handed. Jang Cheon-Hyeok was a martial dao master, his strength was not that of an ordinary person. Coupled with the sneak attack, how could it be easy for a martial artist of the same level to take away his weapon empty-handed?
Qin Fen's palm of true energy from the banana fan fiercely collided with the tip of the knife that could split the water and break the waves.
Clang! Clang!
The sharp knife burst into two balls of light, like fireworks blooming in the night. It was the impact of the airflow caused by the collision between Qin Fen's true energy and the knife.
The knife was a first-class knife, and the person was also a first-class person! Jang Cheon-Hyeok's knife broke through the banana fan's Air Splitting Palm and took advantage of the momentum to charge straight at Qin Fen's throat.
The momentum of the knife was still fierce and sharp! At this moment, Qin Fen's lips curled into an imperceptible smile. The right hand of the banana fan pressed down on the knife! A palm slapped on the knife's body!
The huge palm pressed on the knife's body as five fingers slid along the knife's body towards Jang Cheon-Hyeok's wrist. At this moment, he wanted to flip the knife but found that he couldn't move it at all.
The small knife's body seemed to be pressed by a real mountain. Qin Fen's five fingers were the five mountain peaks. He could only feel that the knife was getting heavier and heavier. No matter how hard he tried to flip it, it was all in vain.
Bang! Clang!
Qin Fen's banana fan suddenly shook! The first-class knife let out a desperate groan and immediately turned into scrap iron!
With just one palm, Jang Cheon-Hyeok's killing move that he was proud of was completely broken. Even the knife that was forged by a famous craftsman using several kinds of precious metals was shattered.
"He's so young, yet he's actually so powerful in actual combat? Isn't this too terrifying? "
Jang Cheon-Hyeok loosened his fingers on the knife's hilt as a monotonous syllable came out of his throat, giving rise to a sharp howl, as if he wanted to suck everything in the world into his body.
With this howl, Jang Cheon-Hyeok's aura of power suddenly shook off that sinister temperament. The howl that sucked in everything in the world made his aura of power expand again and again, as if he was the center of the world at this moment.
Heaven Fist! Jang Cheon-Hyeok entered the realm of Heaven Fist in the blink of an eye, the origin of all things in the world, the base of cultivation, the ultimate completion of everything in the world.
The realm of Heaven Fist contained the infinite magnification of the world. It integrated the rhythm and agility of the fist energy into the vast realm of Heaven Fist, turning it into the center of all things, the origin.
All these years in Europe, he had always been the heaven of European Neo Taekwondo! At this moment, Jang Cheon-Hyeok felt that he was the heaven! His punches were also the heaven! Under the heaven, any living creature would have to kneel and worship upon seeing it. This was Heaven Fist!
"Is this your strongest fist?"
Qin Fen's spread fingers suddenly closed. Facing the sky-high Heaven Fist, his spirit grew again and again. It was as if he had truly woken up from his sleep. His rock-hard cheeks were shrouded in a layer of vast and mighty aura of power. His brows were filled with majesty, as if he was a True God who had broken through the sky and ascended.
Godly Fists, the concept of God! Qin Fen's feet plunged into the yellow sand as his fist aura rose again. The rumbling sound stirred the surrounding airflow and gathered all the airflow around his fist. The mighty force pushed back the blowing sea breeze. Even the sound of the waves was completely suppressed by Qin Fen at this moment.
Godly Fists: Investiture of the Gods! The ultimate skill created by Qin Fen! It was the fusion of all the martial dao that he had seen, the divine dao! No one on the Investiture of the Gods could escape this calamity. The meaning of this punch was as such: I announce that you have been investitured as a god, so you must report to the Investiture of the Gods! Anyone who reported to the Investiture of the Gods would die!
After Qin Fen, who had spent more than a month alone in the desert, successfully understood the soul of the Sahara, the power of the Investiture of the Gods had once again undergone a huge change.
RUMBLE!
Jang Cheon-Hyeok instantly felt the pressure from Qin Fen. The integrated 'sky' in front of him suddenly broke. His fist felt as if it had hit Mount Buzhou, and a vast and mighty force came crashing down.
In an instant, he finally saw Qin Fen's fist clearly. It was a straight punch from above.
Qin Fen's fist wasn't big, it was no different from an ordinary person's fist. His skin was smoother and redder than a baby's skin, but it was this baby-like fist that gave off a terrifying power that contained the laws of heaven and earth.
What Jang Cheon-Hyeok found the most terrifying was that Qin Fen's fists had actually absorbed and compressed all the air in the battlefield, forming an incomplete vacuum. Even the air in the human body had to be forcibly pulled out from the lungs, putting everyone in a state of hypoxia.
He had never thought that a young man who was not even twenty years old could actually perform such a mighty fist technique.
Qin Fen's fist made Jang Cheon-Hyeok feel as if a heavy stone was pressing down on his chest. The surrounding gravity seemed to be changing, making it impossible for him to jump and dodge. The only way to survive was to take it head-on.
Ao ao ao ao ao …
Under the threat of death, Jang Cheon-Hyeok let out a series of short howls. He crossed his hands to form a huge cross and kept wriggling. It was the Ten Immortals of Neo Taekwondo! It was the ultimate defense of the fusion of cloud, mountain, water, stone, wood, moon, grass, turtle, crane, and deer, firmly blocking the path of Qin Fen's fist.
The moment the Ten Immortals came into contact with the Investiture of the Gods, Jang Cheon-Hyeok felt the blood in his body boiling in a split second. All the hair on his body stood erect at the same time as his body retreated uncontrollably. It was as if he was riding on the latest high-speed train and retreating at high speed while holding a rocket launcher.
Sand filled the sky, and Jang Cheon-Hyeok could only see blood red in front of his eyes. His arms were the first to lose feeling, and in the next moment, his shoulders, chest, and legs had all lost feeling. Along the way he flew back, a red mist of blood rose up.
Kyokushin Genichi and the others saw it very clearly. It wasn't a mist of blood that sprayed into the air, but Jang Cheon-Hyeok's body that had been completely smashed by Qin Fen's punch, flying into the air along with his blood.
At this time, Jang Cheon-Hyeok's arms had long been shattered. There was a huge transparent hole in his chest. The blood-red color that his eyes saw was an illusion caused by the blood vessels bursting and rushing into his eyes.
BANG!
Jang Cheon-Hyeok flew a hundred feet into the sea and fell heavily into the sea. He opened his mouth and spat out blood as he stared at the sky with his eyes wide open.
A fifteen-star martial dao master had a super strong vitality. Even if his internal organs were completely smashed, he still didn't die immediately.
He was still alive, although he would die without a doubt. Even the gods wouldn't be able to save him. But at this moment, he was indeed still alive.
The mighty Investiture of the Gods flashed in his mind several times, but he still couldn't find the slightest way to break it. Even if he was fully prepared, he would still be killed in the face of that blow.
Qin Fen was already standing beside Jang Cheon-Hyeok. He needed to check his Investiture of the Gods through the corpse in order to make more improvements.
"You …" Jang Cheon-Hyeok looked at Qin Fen, who was looking down at him, full of unwillingness. "You don't seem to have … used your full strength …"
"Yes." Qin Fen nodded lightly. "You are not qualified to make me use my full strength in the Investiture of the Gods."
Not qualified to use my full strength … Jang Cheon-Hyeok's eyes widened even more. This sentence was like a knife that pierced deep into his brain. He had come here with great ambition to avenge his junior brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect that this young man before him wouldn't use his full strength.
"Investiture … Investiture of the Gods … haha … good … name … this punch is the Investiture of the Gods …"
Jang Cheon-Hyeok's eyes were so wide that the corners of his eyes were about to burst. At this moment, his pupils were completely dilated. After learning of the last shocking blow, no matter how strong his vitality was, he had still exhausted the last bit of it.
