Chapter 152: Observe it, comprehend it

Observations, Realizations

A mature Haedong Qing confronted by a colossal python formed a scene that was nothing short of breathtaking.

Ye Qiu instinctively retreated. He didn’t want these two behemoths to notice him. Even though he was skilled, dealing with both of them simultaneously wouldn’t be easy.

One was the king of the skies, the other a ferocious predator on land. Neither was willing to yield.

The mature Haedong Qing landed on the ground while the python crawled out from the cliff. Its long body coiled upon itself, head peering out, ready to strike.

The Haedong Qing had an innate advantage, but Ye Qiu didn’t know why the Haedong Qing was injured. It seemed that one of its legs was hurt by the python, making it unstable on the ground.

The python flicked its tongue, biding its time. The Haedong Qing didn’t stop flapping its wings; otherwise, it would have been an easy target for the python’s attack.

After the python slightly contracted its body, the Haedong Qing attacked. It furiously beat its wings and harshly pecked the python’s body.

The python’s body was covered in scales, and when the Haedong Qing struck with its beak, the force was enormous. Even a stone would crack under such a peck.

Hiss hiss...

The python felt pain from the strike, flicked its tongue twice, then its tail swept in.

The Haedong Qing seemed prepared. Just as the python’s tail swept in, the Haedong Qing leaped, dodging the nimble strike. Had it been hit, it could have been knocked out of the air completely, losing its advantage.

The strike missed, and the python hissed in pain, glaring at the Haedong Qing as it launched another attack.

Whoosh!

The motion of the python’s body wasn’t slow as one might imagine due to its size; instead, its attack was lightning fast, strikingly swift. It opened its massive mouth in a blink and aimed to bite the Haedong Qing’s wing.

The Haedong Qing’s movements were as quick as lightning, matching the python’s speed. They clashed again and this time, while the python aimed for the Haedong Qing’s head, the Haedong Qing savagely clawed at the python’s body.

This was a spectacular battle.

It was a cruel and real manifestation of the natural law of survival.

The survival of the fittest, nature’s brutal rule.

The Haedong Qing and the python were enacting this cold law through their fierce duel.

Watching the Haedong Qing leap, flutter down, and use a series of attacks and defensive moves like tearing with its claws, Ye Qiu felt a realization brewing in his mind, a sense of enlightenment.

And watching the python’s head move as fast as lightning, and its tail possessing enough force to smash a boulder, Ye Qiu’s insights began to churn.

His expression and gaze were completely fixed on the Haedong Qing and the python, filled with contemplation and fleeting realizations.

The Haedong Qing’s pounce, its claws capable of shattering rocks and mountains, was especially dazzling and could kill at will.

The python’s sweep, its tail capable of shattering everything, was incredibly powerful and could easily sweep across anything.

Ye Qiu began to continuously record the attacks of the Haedong Qing and the python in his mind. Meanwhile, another figure also occupied half of his mind—the eccentric man who had used the Five-Animal Frolics on him.

The movements of the Five-Animal Frolics and those of the Haedong Qing and the python were similar yet different.

The Five-Animal Frolics revolve around five animals: the tiger, deer, bear, ape, and bird.

However, the Haedong Qing was the king among birds, and the python the king among snakes—neither belonging to the category of the five animals.

In Ye Qiu’s mind, he involuntarily combined the movements of the sea hawk and the python, creating a set of moves as swift as the sea hawk and as heavy as the python, gradually taking shape in his thoughts.

As the sea hawk and the python fought fiercely, the moves in Ye Qiu’s mind became clearer.

If someone from the martial arts community saw Ye Qiu at that moment, they would be shocked, for Ye Qiu was innovating his own techniques.

Based on the attacking methods of the sea hawk and the python, he devised his own set of attack techniques.

Just as this method was taking shape in his mind, the sea hawk and the python ended up both seriously injured.

The adult sea hawk was struck in the wings by the python, rendering it unable to soar in the sky, and the python was not much better off, with several wounds bleeding profusely, inflicted by the sharp claws of the sea hawk, visibly tearing off chunks of flesh.

Seeing its mother severely wounded, the young sea hawk flew over, intending to avenge its mother.

The python attacked again, swiftly coiling itself around the unsuspecting young sea hawk, trapping it.

The female sea hawk became extremely agitated, and despite her severe injuries and inability to fly, she was resolved to save her child.

The python opened its huge mouth, ready to swallow the young sea hawk whole, while the adult sea hawk, blocked again by the python’s tail, could only watch helplessly as its child was about to be devoured.

The young sea hawk couldn’t break free at all, and trying to threaten the python with its beak was difficult, especially since the python’s skin was as tough as steel, making any biting efforts futile.

Just as the python was about to swallow the head of the young sea hawk, a stone struck the python’s eye sharply, and simultaneously, a figure rushed forward, prying open the python’s mouth and swiftly rescuing the young sea hawk.

This person was Ye Qiu, who had suddenly snapped back to attention; he naturally could not let the young sea hawk perish in the jaws of the snake.

So, in the nick of time, he intervened and snatched the young sea hawk away.

A human suddenly appearing infuriated the python immensely, especially since this human had also stolen its delicious meal.

In an instant, Ye Qiu became the python’s new enemy.

Ye Qiu moved the young sea hawk behind him, allowing it to reunite with its mother, then turned to face the python, channeling True Qi into his hands, transforming them into blades, and struck the python’s body fiercely, momentarily slowing its movements.

Seeing Ye Qiu as a challenger and a stealer of its prey, the python could not let him go easily and started to slowly wrap its long body around Ye Qiu, aiming for a final blow to crush him completely.

Ye Qiu, of course, was not foolish enough to realize this too late; he had already observed the python’s attack patterns and did not give it the opportunity, quickly moving aside.

"Let me test out the move I just devised," Ye Qiu said, assuming an unusual stance reminiscent of a great peng spreading its wings, then with a swift push from his feet, he dove toward the python in an attacking pose.

Watching Ye Qiu mimic its own movements to tackle the python, the mature sea hawk showed an expression much like human interest, intently observing Ye Qiu.

Perhaps it was puzzling to it, perhaps it recognized that Ye Qiu was emulating it.

But Ye Qiu did not just bring out the moves he had grasped from the sea hawk; he also unleashed moves inspired by the python, clashing fiercely with it without yielding.

Poor python, not only were its own attack methods used by Ye Qiu to create new moves, but they were even turned against it, serving to test their effectiveness.

"Snake-shaped Crafty Hand!"

"Mysterious Eagle’s Claw!"

"Heavy Tail Hammer Fist!"

With each continuous strike, Ye Qiu named the newly devised movements.
