Chapter 196 - 176: Desperate Situation, Killing Move! (2-in-1)_2

With his physical strength, he indeed could swim to the other side, but what about the four bundles of money?

At this moment, Hu Shan’s mood was even more furious and stifled than "being ambushed by bandits while enjoying hotpot and singing with your wife."

"Kill him!" Hu Shan roared.

Ruan Changheng nodded his head. Even if they had to jump into the river and swim to the other bank, they must first deal with this person who had suddenly appeared; otherwise, once the two of them entered the water, they would become easy targets for the other party.

Hu Shan and Ruan Changheng ran up the slope one to the left and one to the right, quickly.

Listening to the footsteps of the two men, Wu Li didn’t dare to stay put and wait to be flanked—he suddenly burst forward.

At this moment, the situation was as follows: on the slope, Ruan Changheng was on the left, Hu Shan on the right, and Wu Li was between the two behind a large tree. Wu Li then suddenly rushed out from behind the tree and darted diagonally towards the left front.

Hu Shan and Ruan Changheng both changed direction to follow, but because Wu Li chose to run to the left, Ruan Changheng was undoubtedly closer to him and didn’t hesitate—he took off running furiously, quickly closing in on Wu Li.

Although he hadn’t developed his Fist Intent and didn’t have Hu Shan’s keen intuition to dodge bullets, it was now dark in the woods, storming heavily, and he himself was moving quickly. Under these conditions, unless the other guy was a "gun god," Ruan Changheng wasn’t worried about getting shot.

The three shadows swept swiftly through the forest, with Wu Li in the lead feeling a terrifying Killing Move firmly locking onto him, giving him the sensation of a thorn in his back.

It was Hu Shan! And Wu Li could feel that the distance between them was shrinking little by little.

It must be known that Wu Li was running at full speed without holding back, meaning Hu Shan’s pace was faster than his!

If Wu Li could have looked back at that moment, he would have seen Hu Shan running in a bizarre posture: Hu Shan’s waist bent, hands hanging so low they almost touched the ground. Whenever he encountered a tree in his path, instead of going around, Hu Shan twisted his body eerily to bypass it and then kicked off the tree trunk.

The tree trunk cracked, splinters flying everywhere, and with this enormous charging force, Hu Shan burst forward. His body hunkered down, gliding just above the ground, and just before touching the ground, he pushed off with his hands, leaping again, moving closer to another large tree. This sequence repeated, his speed astonishingly quick!

Hu Shan’s eyes were as cold as a blade, carrying a surge of Killing Move and anger, like a demonic ape shuttling through the woods, vowing to tear to shreds the Wu Li up ahead!

The movement technique that Hu Shan was using at the time was one he had learned in Malaysia from a hunter who had spent years tracking prey in the jungle—imitating animals, he had developed and created a set of movements designed specifically for navigating through the woods.

When it came to straight-line speed and short-distance bursts, Wu Li was confident that he wasn’t inferior to Hu Shan, but in the jungle, Hu Shan with this movement technique was undoubtedly the faster one.

Wu Li hadn’t expected Hu Shan to be able to move so quickly through the woods, and now the situation he faced was this: once Hu Shan caught up to him, if they engaged and Hu Shan held him back, by the time Ruan Changheng also caught up, facing two opponents, his death would be almost certain!

In just a few seconds, Wu Li made his decision—he had to turn around and counter-attack!

In a one against many situations, where strength differences were not significant, the only tactic was to break them down one by one. Compared to Hu Shan, Ruan Changheng was undoubtedly the weaker of the two, so Wu Li had to eliminate Ruan Changheng first to stand a chance for survival.

After running for about another ten seconds, a large tree appeared directly in front of Wu Li. This time he didn’t slow down to dodge but instead accelerated and crashed into it.

Wu Li’s feet kicked like horse hooves, his body rising and falling with each step. As he stamped his foot, he would shake his spine, the bones throughout his body resounding like an explosion, as if loading all his body weight onto his feet and then propelling forward with the reaction.

Horse Form Trample!

Wu Li was using the power generation method of the Horse Form Cannon to accelerate, except he wasn’t throwing punches, but instead, he was converting the explosive power into forward momentum.

Each step he took, his hooves flashed, and his whole body galloped forward, truly running with the wild vigor of a charging horse!

Wu Li moved in the Horse Form Chain, each step creating an explosive sound on the ground, water splashing everywhere, mud flying—just as if the recoil from a cannon was pushing down into the earth, causing vibrations.

With such an astonishing display of power and speed, Wu Li nearly instantaneously approached the tree ahead, appearing as if he were going to slam into it in an act of suicide.

However, the next moment, his body suddenly leaped up.

Just as he was about to collide with the tree in front of him, he heavily stepped out with one last step, using the force to propel himself high into the air.

That final leap into the air, Wu Li’s right foot plunged deep into the muddy ground, the earth shook as if an air bomb had suddenly exploded, the wind generated blew all the surrounding weeds and mud away, showing the ferocity of his power.

"Moving as if riding on a sweeping wind," the true meaning described in the Fist Scripture was now displayed beneath Wu Li’s feet.

Wu Li’s body soared, his foot stepping on the tree trunk, causing the whole tree to shake violently, its leaves rustling loudly as raindrops mixed with leaves fell in droves.

With that force, Wu Li spun in the air, fiercely kicking toward Ruan Changheng, who was rushing toward him!

Xingyi Killing Move, Flying Horse Stepping on Swallow!

Horse Form is robust and enduring, excelling in raising the hoof. Wu Li traveled using Horse Form Cannon, each step a stomping, taking the opportunity to adjust his tendons and bones throughout his body, bursting forth with full force for the final leap, then instantly transitioning to Swallow Form.

Swallow Form is agile, skilled in skimming over water, with the Swallow Form in Xingyi Fist consisting mostly of leg strikes, aerial jump kicks, and successive attacks.

The most crucial aspect of the Flying Horse Stepping on Swallow is the transition of the center of gravity, in an instant, leaping in Horse Form and kicking out in Swallow Form, hiding the Swallow within the Horse, the Swallow supporting the Horse above.

How heavy was Wu Li’s final exertion in Horse Form Cannon? It was like a warhorse weighing a thousand pounds suddenly leaping into the air, then transferring the entire body’s weight and the force of the descent onto one foot, stomping down heavily as if a swallow below was catching the force.

If Wu Li hadn’t had a clear understanding of Fist Intent, elevating control over his body by a notch, he wouldn’t be able to perform Flying Horse Stepping on Swallow at full burst like now, which was completely different from when he used it in the ring before, the exertion nearly reaching its explosive limit!

Moreover, the more difficult part was Wu Li’s control over the distance between the two; using this move, he had to ensure he could kick Ruan Changheng the moment he turned around, otherwise, it was suicidal.

The speed of Ruan Changheng’s sprint, his own charging speed, the timing for spinning and kicking—all of these had to be just slightly off, and Wu Li’s killing move would have been wasted.

The Flying Horse Stepping on Swallow, an inherently dangerous killing move with the body completely airborne, once executed, leaves no possibility to change direction in the air—missing the enemy would almost mean certain death.

And if Ruan Changheng couldn’t be swiftly killed, with Hu Shan catching up, Wu Li would meet the same fate, so he chose to take a risky gamble with such a dangerous move.

Bang, he struck true!

For Ruan Changheng, everything happened too quickly, he had no time to react.

Just seconds before, Wu Li had been sprinting with all his might, and the next moment he suddenly leaped up, then turned to kick at him, while his own full-speed sprint and its massive inertia, along with the reaction time, meant he could only stop right there, without the time to retreat, so Wu Li’s foot reached his face.

Ruan Changheng, worthy of being a Master-level Martial Artist, still managed to instantly throw out his right arm to block Wu Li’s incoming left foot, while at the same time leaning back, trying to deflect the force and flash backward.

However, in his haste, his force wasn’t entirely sufficient, and he also underestimated the power of Wu Li’s killing move.

Crack! At the instant Wu Li’s left foot hit Ruan Changheng’s right arm, the latter’s arm bone fractured.

Ruan Changheng groaned in pain, his right arm hanging useless; unable to deflect the force to retreat, he could only desperately lean backward, but alas, it was too slow.

Thwack! Wu Li’s second foot struck Ruan Changheng’s throat, shattering it, his third foot hit the opponent’s chest, kicking his body away like a torn piece of cloth, hurling it directly toward Hu Shan, who was rushing in.

Ruan Changheng in mid-air, his gaze rapidly dimmed, his face showing shock and unwillingness.

He was a Master-level Martial Artist who had personally killed many formidable fighters, he had countless ingenious moves yet to use, but now his life ended by Wu Li’s strike.

Bang! Hu Shan caught Ruan Changheng’s body, stepping back, while Wu Li also took the opportunity to land, adjusting his breath, facing Hu Shan.
