Chapter 417: Chapter 384: The Invisible Leg Technique, Frequent Use of Killing Moves

Swoosh!

Wu Li rushed forward, striking with Tiger Hugging Head!

He had gathered strength in advance, and his burst of Fist Intent and Power was extremely domineering.

At almost the same time, Kamino Kei also charged forward; he too had gathered strength beforehand, his right arm slicing through the air as he thrust it upward!

Thud!

Wu Li’s downward chop with Tiger Hugging Head clashed with Kamino Kei’s upward thrust, like an axe striking a knife, shocking both their bodies simultaneously.

Kamino Kei was numbed by Wu Li’s Tiger Form Splitting Force, while Wu Li’s own forearm trembled from the Stabbing Blade Power delivered by Kamino Kei.

However, Wu Li had a slight advantage, as only his right arm was temporarily unable to exert force, and he could still use his left hand, whereas Kamino Kei’s upper body was numb, leaving him only his legs to use temporarily.

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Li threw a Drilling Fist with his left hand towards Kamino Kei’s chin, while Kamino Kei stepped back to put some distance between them, at the same time kicking towards Wu Li’s right knee.

Wu Li stepped forward with his right leg, resisting the kick from Kamino Kei with sheer force; his right hand’s blood and energy circulation had normalized, and he once again raised his arm for a downward chop.

Kamino Kei had recovered by this time but knew he had lost the initiative; he did not engage head-on but instead raised his hands to block in advance against Wu Li’s Splitting Fist, then grabbed Wu Li’s right arm and pulled it down to the left, while his leg kicked out again at Wu Li’s knee.

Wu Li changed the force in his hand, thrust his knee forward, clashing with Kamino Kei’s right leg, while his left hand also grasped Kamino Kei’s right wrist.

Almost simultaneously, both men pulled with force and then adapted to the other’s power, making changes.

To the audience, these two appeared to be grabbing each other’s hands and pushing and pulling back and forth like common street fighters, showing no sophisticated moves; but only the two men engaged in the struggle knew that, in these brief seconds, how many times they had shifted their force and executed numerous subtle maneuvers.

It could be said that had either been half a beat slow in response, one would have already been thrown out of the ring.

After exchanging several Listening Skill techniques with Kamino Kei, Wu Li had to admit that the opponent’s Aikido was not inferior to his own in terms of Listening Skill, making it very difficult to gain an advantage.

Kamino Kei, on the other hand, seemed slightly regretful that Wu Li had not been affected by his words before the match began, but that was just a distraction; if it worked, that was good, but if not, he would not care too much, for the truth would ultimately be tested by their hands!

Seconds later, very much in sync, both men let go of each other’s hands and began to collide with fists and feet.

Wu Li’s hands blasted out Cannon Fists in succession, his feet set in Horse Stance to widen his base; each step was accompanied by an explosive punch, his Fist Intent like a Heavy Cavalry Charge, unstoppable!

Kamino Kei sometimes swung his arms like swords and sometimes punched like hammers, alternating between Stabbing Blade Power and Cannon Hammering, erupting like Fiery Flame, volcanic and fierce!

Both Aikido and Jiu Jitsu are adept at takedowns, but Aikido is better at close-range techniques (punch and kick attacks) than Jiu Jitsu, and Kamino Kei’s self-created Shenye Style Aikido, which incorporates certain elements of sword and hammer techniques into close-range combat, demonstrated robust skills with hands that would be formidable even with weapons.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their exchange was fast, the air exploded continuously, and the sound of muscles colliding resounded throughout the arena.

After more than a dozen exchanges, Wu Li became increasingly vigorous, his momentum and Fist Intent still climbing, while Kamino Kei seemed unable to withstand Wu Li’s nearly suffocating fighting style and Fist Intent, opting to change his technique.

He suddenly accelerated his left hand, thrusting it forward, aiming to intercept Wu Li’s punch in advance.

Feeling the opponent’s ’Qi’ and cutting off the opponent’s ’Qi’ are part of the essence of Aikido.

Wu Li continued to throw his right punch, and just as it was about to collide with Kamino Kei’s arm, he changed his fist to a claw, using the Eagle Form Capture to grab Kamino Kei’s wrist.

Kamino Kei did not dodge but instead grabbed Wu Li’s wrist at the same time he was caught and forcefully pulled towards himself.

Wu Li immediately lowered his center of gravity to stabilize his form and frowned slightly, for the moment he reached out and grasped Kamino Kei’s wrist, he had already ’listened’ and anticipated the pulling Power, so he had stabilized his center of gravity in advance. However, concealed within that pulling force was another layer of Power, faint and well-hidden, and just a slight perception flashed through Wu Li’s mind.

In the next instant, Kamino Kei’s right leg lifted without warning, silently kicking towards Wu Li’s shinbone!

By using his hand to pull on his opponent, one could stabilize their center of gravity, and then strike with a concealed leg attack the moment the opponent’s weight sunk. It was like driving a nail into the ground and securing it before hitting it. This ensured that the nail would not easily be knocked loose or sent flying, but instead would bend upon impact!

This was the Kamino Style’s killing move—Aikido Break!

Kamino Kei’s sneak leg strike was quick and covert, yet Wu Li had still sensed it in advance, so he had time to respond.

He didn’t dodge because there was no time to shift his weight, so he went with the flow and completely sunk his center of gravity, settling into a Horse Stance on the spot, while simultaneously pulling down diagonally on Kamino Kei’s arm with his right hand.

Bang!

Kamino Kei’s kick still landed on Wu Li’s shin, but it didn’t break it as he had expected because Wu Li had pulled his weight off balance at the last moment, causing the force of the kick to dissipate quite a bit.

Seeing his killing move foiled, Kamino Kei was not discouraged. He hadn’t expected one or two moves to finish his adversary anyway.

Although Kamino Kei’s kick had not achieved its anticipated effect, he knew Wu Li’s shin must not feel good after the strike. At this moment, the area below Wu Li’s right calf was likely numb, making it difficult to exert force or move. Seizing the opportunity, Kamino Kei kicked out again.

As Kamino Kei launched his kick, a series of crisp ’beng beng beng’ sounds rang by Wu Li’s ear, like the sound of bowstrings being pulled.

Wu Li knew this was the sound of muscles on Kamino Kei’s thigh!

The Internal Fist emphasized that the body should be prepared with five bows, referring to the limbs and the torso, all of which should be trained to release power like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. This spoke to training the Muscle Bone Power; Kamino Kei’s practice of Aikido included the Body Training Method of Bone and Muscle Strengthening, and the muscles on his thigh had already become tougher than cow tendons.

In ancient times, the best bowstrings were made from cow tendons because they were tough and highly elastic, and Kamino Kei’s kick was like an enormous horn bow pulling back to shoot an arrow directly at Wu Li!

Moreover, Kamino Kei’s kick had not only the speed of an arrow, but it could also change direction. Initially, the target was Wu Li’s right calf, but halfway through the kick, his right leg suddenly shifted direction and aimed for Wu Li’s right knee.

This was an arrow capable of changing its path!

Kamino Style’s killing move—Broken Arrow Style.

In the blink of an eye, Kamino Kei unleashed two killing moves, both of which were techniques he had never shown before.

Wu Li had not anticipated that the Kamino Style Aikido killing moves would all involve legwork; he had thought that Kamino Kei would focus on takedowns and grappling.

Faced with Kamino Kei’s killing moves, Wu Li’s lower abdomen vibrated, and he twisted his right arm, easily breaking free of Kamino Kei’s left hand, and then shot upwards as if it were a spear or lance.

He knew killing moves, too!

Wu Li puffed out his chest and tightened his abdomen, thrusting forward with his right shoulder, raising his right arm and driving it straight forward.

As his right arm thrust out, his feet lifted slightly, adding another layer of force.

Standing in a Horse Stance, he took advantage of the upward thrust of the Horse Stance and transmitted it through his waist to his right arm, then thrust forward, just like a warrior atop his steed with a lance in hand, leveraging the horse’s lunging power to thrust the lance fiercely forward!

Raising from the Horse Stance, the Horse Form leaps into the Dragon Form; at this moment, Wu Li transitioned from Horse to Dragon Form, unleashing a strike with extreme speed and a seamless transition of power—a killing move from the Xingyi Fist called the Dragon and Horse Combined Attack.

Wu Li leaned forward, sending his right shoulder ahead, using the Long Arm technique for an extra bit of reach, while standing on tiptoe for added distance, finally transforming his fist into a palm and thrusting a hand blade forward to gain further distance. Thus, he managed to strike first despite being later in motion, striking Kamino Kei’s lower abdomen a split second before.

Bang!

Kamino Kei’s abdomen was jabbed by Wu Li’s hand blade, and then his leg also struck Wu Li’s knee.

Wu Li stood his ground, while Kamino Kei was sent staggering back over a dozen steps.
