Chapter 123 - Haft of the Big Dipper, Palms Thunder (1/2)

Nearly a hundred motorcycles had their front tires lifted up by their riders into wheelies. When the front tires dropped heavily back to the ground, the motorcycles engaged in a powerful chase.

One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes…

Yu Wenqian looked in her mirrors and saw Qin Fen get closer bit by bit in his pursuit. Her curiosity towards Qin Fen gradually turned into shock. When the motorcycle gang had gone into a large formation, she had seen how Qin Fen had totally left them in the dust in a mere instant.

She originally thought the dense formation would be able to trap the soldier that chased her. She never thought that this recruit was like an all-capable soldier. Not only was his sniper skills top-notch, but he could also hijack vehicles, and his motorcycle riding skills were even stronger than those of professional athletes. She really didn’t know if there wasn’t anything he didn’t know how to do.

As she contemplated, Yu Wenqian suddenly felt the accelerator in her hand lighten. The rumbling sound of her ride instantly stopped. Her motorcycle… was out of gas…

Qin Fen laughed when he reached two hundred meters of distance from Yu Wenqian. Whether it was sniping or riding, this woman possessed skill. Unfortunately, she had been too careless. She actually forgot the check the most important thing when stealing her vehicle—gas!

A motorcycle without high-octane gasoline was simple scrap metal!

I’m out of gas? Yu Wenqian barely hesitated at all. She flipped off her bike and jumped out from the expressway in a cat-like leap.

Want to run?

For Qin Fen’s motorcycle, two hundred meters of distance was simply far too short.

Qin Fen had caught up to her last position by the time Yu Wenqian’s body leaped out from the expressway.

Qin Fen didn’t need to slow down, nor did he need to stop and get off his motorcycle for this chase! Qin Fen simply used the high-speed inertia of the motorcycle to shoot out from the rider’s seat. He pounced down from high above the sky, and his entire person was like a bird of prey, a tyrant that controlled the skies. He instantly caught up to his fleeing prey on the ground.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art surged through his entire body. His arms expanded again like tires being inflated. His muscles filled his clothes to the point of bursting, and his large thick veins were akin to tiny snakes beneath his skin. They entwined and spiraled around his right palm. His palm, fingers, and wrist crackled from the joints, the sound of which was like exploding beans. The Arhat Worships Buddha, often the most impractical move of the Arhat Fist, became the most optimal move in this very moment!

Yu Wenqian suddenly felt like she was enveloped by the aura of tigers and dragons. She would certainly be struck dead by her opponent’s palm if she were to forcefully escape. Her two legs stopped in place, ending her flee, and she faced the firm and fierce strike, which was like a dragon soaring through the rolling clouds. Her thigh sank down to be perpendicular to her calf, and her two arms furled out like the blooming of proud plum blossoms in cold winter.

The Plum Blossom’s Fifth Form: Flow with Power!

Her power flow had a gentle flow that was incomparable. The five petals of the plum blossom were akin to the five gorgeous Chinese elements. They complemented each other, growing and multiplying without end. Every bit of incoming force could be dispelled to nothing. Before her move could even touch Qin Fen’s Arhat Worships Buddha, Qin Fen’s firm and fierce aura had already begun to faintly weaken.

Qin Fen used the movements of a northern goshawk pouncing on a rabbit. The move he unleashed didn’t change at all. He pulled his stance completely open, and the Arhat Worships Buddha smashed fiercely down.

Yu Wenqian was even further shocked when she heard the sound of the wind. The sound of the wind nearly approached the sound of thunder in her mind. The firm and fierce aura simply broke through the energy of her moving with the flow of power.

In this moment, Yu Wenqian could very clearly sense that the Arhat Worships Buddha would likely cause the flow of power to smash into her own skull if she were to continue moving with the flow of power.

She didn’t dare at all to continue with the flow of power. She simply bent her back leg into a bow step, her knee leveling to the ground. Her hands spread apart, clenched into fists, and guarded above her head at a slanted angle. Her eyes stared level. Her head, shoulders, fists were erected on straight planes to form three opposite points. This was the Plum Blossom Fist’s resistance move, Great Potential, and she forcefully took on Qin Fen’s fist.

Great Potential belonged to the element of metal within the Plum Blossom Fist. True energy surged from the large intestine and the lungs, and her pores suddenly closed shut in this very moment.

Boom…

Three arms met, and Yu Wenqian felt as if she was in a car accident on the expressway. The true energy in her entire body was shaken and nearly dispersed away. It was as if tens of thousands of metal needles had stabbed the bones of his entire body. The earth beneath her feet sunk down. She was no longer as sturdy as the haft of the big dipper. Her legs stumbled backward in endless retreat.

Is he really on the same level as me? Is he really a four-star? Shock could be seen on Yu Wenqian’s forehead. She had changed appearances, suppressed her aura and used a motorcycle to escape, but she was actually unable to successfully get away. When did the military have such a young and powerful soldier?

“Give me back my five thousand dollars!”

Qin Fen landed on the ground, his body brimming with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. The explosiveness with which he propelled his body caused Yu Wenqian to feel subtle tremors in the earth.

It was the Striking the Tiger Style. Yu Wenqian had no choice but to raise her true energy once more. Under the most firm and fierce power of four-star level fists, she who did not cultivate Tai Chi to its pinnacle, would simply be a joke if she used softness to conquer strength. Aside from dodging, all she could do was meet force with force.

Yu Wenqian’s legs were still aching from taking the first fist. Though she could dodge this next fist, she wouldn’t be able to dodge a second or a third fist. So she could only choose to meet force with force, hoping that Qin Fen would be exhausted like an arrow at the end of its flight.

Bam…

The second fist slammed into her, and the true energy within Yu Wenqian’s body dispersed at last. She was unable to maintain the fundamental form of the Plum Blossom Fist as well. Her legs thudded with a dozen footsteps in the span of a single breath as she was pushed back.

“Give me back my five thousand dollars….”

The incomparably persistent voice reached Yu Wenqian mind, and in this instant, cold metal was plastered to her forehead.

It was a gun!

Yu Wenqian was quite flabbergasted. This man even carried a gun on him? She raised her eyes to look, and she saw that his hand gripped a Ruger LCP, a pocket-sized pistol. This gun had another name, Palm Thunder!

The size of this weapon wasn’t even the size of a normal person’s palm. It was quite suited to be placed in the cuff. Its only weak point was how the might of its bullets were a bit weaker than usual.
