Chapter 277 Dantai Suifeng
boss will order us to shut down this operation tomorrow," Almond Cake reported as she listened in on her earpiece."He's adept at using others to do his dirty work," Wang Zheng shook his head and said...Chapter 277: Dantai Suifeng
In that era of war and turmoil, when Su Fuhua led his troops to conquer the land, he had seven top-notch experts under him. Each one was proficient in Chinese martial arts, brave and fierce in battle. Even an expert like Xie Anping would only rank mid-level among them if compared by true strength.
However, decades later, it is said that these seven people died or retired, leaving only Xie Anping as the sole survivor.
No one really doubted where those others went or whether they were truly dead. After all, a Wushu King like Xie Anping was enough to make people feel powerless in an era when martial arts experts often met their demise. Naturally, some gossips speculated that Su Fuhua might have staged a play of "killing the rabbit and cooking the dog" (metaphor for abandoning loyal followers after achieving success) once he had established his reputation.
But although they no longer appeared in martial arts circles, their legends still remained. Wang Zheng often heard Old Man Wang Fahan mention these stories that were buried deep in history.
Now, Wang Zheng was trying to connect this mysterious dog-slave before him with the legendary figures of old. And finally, a certain figure began to come into focus.
Dantai Suifeng.
Dantai Suifeng who had long disappeared in the dust of history.
The number one expert under Su Fuhua back then.
Legends said that Dantai Suifeng was a proper Chinese beauty, with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. He was passionate and enthusiastic. Originally a master of Xingyi Quan (Shape Intent Boxing), he later combined Baguazhang (Eight Trigram Palm) to create his own unique path: ferocious yet gentle, powerful yet agile - truly an extraordinary martial arts talent that comes once in a hundred years.
Back then, Dantai Suifeng was also the person most admired by Su Fuhua. In those days, there was a saying not quite a proverb but widely circulated in Chinese martial arts circles: "Southern Wind and Northern Lake."
The Southern Wind referred to Dantai Suifeng, while the Northern Lake was another figure who had disappeared into history - Chitian Hu.
Legend had it that Dantai Suifeng was upright and righteous, while Chitian Hu was sinister and evil. The two of them became the pillars of Chinese martial arts.
At that time, there were also Western strongmen who wanted to cross over to China but were driven out by the seven experts under Su Fuhua's command. As for Chitian Hu, he always went alone; few had seen his movements. But if they're still alive now, Chitian Hu would at least be in his eighties and Dantai Suifeng in his seventies.
After a long silence, Wang Zheng finally spoke up as he looked at the half face that was relatively intact but full of marks from time: "You are... Senior Dantai"
In his heart, Wang Zheng had already fully accepted this answer. If not for him to speak it out, he would probably be driven mad.
But he could not connect the almost perfect existence in his mind with the disfigured old man before him who called himself a "dog-slave."
This was too shocking and disruptive.
What happened between them
"There is no longer any Dantai Suifeng in this world, there's only an old dog." The expression on the disfigured face of the dog-slave did not change. His voice also carried no fluctuations.
However, since the dog slave made this statement, he indirectly acknowledged his identity as Dantai Suifeng.
Even if it's not currently true, it once was.
The renowned super expert in China.
Wang Zheng guessed correctly. Many years ago, the current dog slave really was a prominent figure in China's martial arts world, rather than an anonymous recluse living in seclusion.
"What exactly happened" Wang Zheng asked.
In his heart, Dantai Suifeng should be a passionate and straightforward person. Even if he is old now, he should still exude the aura of a Taoist immortal. But... but how did things get this way
The dog slave or dog wretch being able to call himself such obviously indicates that Dantai Suifeng has undergone a drastic change in character and perhaps is no longer the top seven experts he once was.
Moreover, what puzzled Wang Zheng greatly was: if this really were Dantai Suifeng, why didn't he save his former friend Xie Anping back then but instead blasted him to pieces Was it at Su Fuhua's instruction
As Wang Zheng focused intently and braced himself, he thought over these questions.
Thinking again about the light yet powerful palm technique the dog slave used earlier, Wang Zheng became more convinced that this person must be Dantai Suifeng無疑。
Recalling how the dog slave could crush a pistol with his bare hands, if it really were him, everything would make sense.
This shocked and amazed Wang Zheng. He never thought that such a small fish like himself could attract out Dantai Suifeng, the super expert from many years ago, who was as great as an ancient leviathan.
"You don't need to know," the dog slave or Dantai Suifeng said: "Because in my eyes, you're already a dead man."
“It's precisely because I'm dead that I want to know your story. Because dead men are least likely to leak secrets,” Wang Zheng remained unperturbed and shamelessly continued his nosy speculation: “Could it be related to the Lake of Blazing Heaven Legend has it that only he could match you in power.”
"You talk too much."
Dantai Suifeng spoke and then charged forward again, this time using an extremely fast flickering step!
His hands formed palms, one above and the other below. The two palms crossed in mid-air like a pair of scissors, with one palm aiming for Wang Zheng's head while the other struck towards his chest.
Facing this giant pair of scissors that was hundreds of times sharper than normal ones, Wang Zheng didn't dare to be careless because he knew it was just an opening move; after which at least five follow-up moves could be made!
Given Dantai Suifeng's incredible speed and his having locked onto Wang Zheng’s position, the latter did not retreat or dodge. He understood that he had no chance to turn around and flee; even if he backed off as fast as possible, it wouldn’t be faster than Dantai Suifeng's attack!
Wang Zheng fearlessly rushed forward without any hesitation!
Tan Tai Sui Feng remained calm as usual, and his scissors hand technique never changed. It continued to target Wang Zheng's body.
However, Wang Zheng did not rush towards certain death. Just when the two bodies were about to make contact, Wang Zheng twisted his body in a peculiar way like a fish swimming through water, slipping right past Tan Tai Sui Feng’s scissors hand!
In Wang Zheng's hand was still that extremely sharp and extraordinary dagger! As he half-crouched, one elbow hit Tan Tai Sui Feng forcefully on the chest. The other hand circled around to his back, stealthily stabbing towards Tan Tai Sui Feng's abdomen!
Of course, Tan Tai Sui Feng was aware of this as well, and his foot did not stay idle. He performed a small leg sweep right in place and lifted Wang Zheng's buttocks before delivering a powerful sidekick.
At that moment, the dagger on Wang Zheng’s back had just touched Tan Tai Sui Feng’s clothes!
Kicked by Tan Tai Sui Feng, Wang Zheng flew straight out for about ten meters, landing with his face planted in the sand!
This was a modern version of "Buttocks to Backward—Wild Geese Landing on Sandy Beach" move!
"I spit!"
Wang Zheng got up from the ground looking disheveled, spat out the sand in his mouth, and without bothering about the dirt all over his face, said不甘地說道：“再來！剛纔差一點點！”
Yes, just then the dagger was only a fraction away from injuring Tan Tai Sui Feng, but he was still too late.
Might Wang Zheng understand that this small step could be years of struggle for him, but in the face of almost certain defeat and death, he did not want to give up.
Not fighting would never bring victory, but if he fought, who knows what might happen Like a butterfly effect, sometimes even minor efforts from an insignificant figure can be terrifyingly impactful.
Afier saying this, Wang Zheng charged forward once again!
Naturally, after just two or three moves, Wang Zheng would be sent flying out again!
It was not that Tan Tai Sui Feng did not want to use lethal force; it was merely he had never found the right opportunity.
After removing his weight belt, Wang Zheng’s speed indeed became too fast. His attacks were relentless and desperate. Whenever Tan Tai Sui Feng aimed for Wang Zheng's vital points, this guy would always dodge by either turning his side or back towards him, leaving his vital parts well-protected.
In just ten minutes, Wang Zheng had already been sent flying nearly twenty times.
On the distant pier stood a beautiful silhouette watching as Wang Zheng continuously charged forward only to be sent flying after just a few moves. Her long eyelashes flickered slightly.
Katie had arrived long ago but did not enter the battle arena because she understood that this level of combat was beyond her capabilities. Perhaps in terms of true strength, she could barely hold her own against Wang Zheng, but facing Tan Tai Sui Feng as a peak-level expert, there would be absolutely no chance of victory. Of course, Tan Tai Sui Feng would certainly not appreciate any interference with his business either.
Therefore, Katie wisely chose to watch from the sidelines; there's an old Chinese saying: "When the clam and the sandpiper are fighting, the fisherman benefits."
However, what Katie didn't realize was that despite her initial stance, she now secretly hoped Wang Zheng would win. Deep down, she felt he seemed very familiar, as if she had encountered him somewhere other than the West.
But Katie never recalled this thought or pondered it further.
Katie noticed that with each successive assault, Wang Zheng was holding up longer and longer, from being knocked away after just one or two moves to enduring five, six, seven, or eight moves!
He was learning. He was absorbing. He was improving!
Katie's eyes slowly began to shine.
This man is truly terrifying; he can seize every opportunity to progress even in this life-or-death situation!
Might be that it’s still uncertain who will survive and who won’t.
However, due to the huge disparity in strength between them, even though Wang Zheng was being hit in parts like his buttocks—areas with soft tissue—he could no longer bear it.
The sheer force of those blows wasn't something that a person's behind could absorb.
Finally, on the thirtieth time he was sent flying several meters away, Wang Zheng lay on the ground with his posterior upturned, feeling as if every bone in his body had shattered; he didn’t even want to move and his buttocks were swollen enormously.
In this condition, facing Dantai Suifeng, it was certain death for him.
Katie's beautiful eyes fixated on the scene with intensity as her knuckle-dusters clenched tighter in her hand.
Dantai Suifeng slowly approached. But at that moment, Wang Zheng, who was in an extremely unseemly position, suddenly bellowed out his anguish and rage.
"I f*** your grandmother, Eric Lee! Before I came to Japan, I asked you for help. Now I’m about to be killed, and you still don't show up!"
Eric Lee
Hearing this name made Katie hesitate slightly as she gripped her knuckle-dusters even tighter.
A figure appeared on the sea surface not far away at that moment. As if he had been standing there all along, a man emerged from thigh-deep seawater with remarkable speed, seemingly unaffected by the water’s resistance.
This man had Western features and was tall and robust, his voice loud and commanding.
However, what he said next caused Katie's body to freeze completely.and then got up to run into the bathroom.Lying on his back, Wang Zheng wanted to cry but had no tears. He shouted: "It was just a joke; it didn't mean anything. I know you were wet.""Ah!" A sharp scre...
