Chapter 227 Wizards!

Yu Lianzhou nodded and said, "That's right, I will fight. Please teach me. If Young Master Zhou can defeat me, Wudang will withdraw."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "That's great." Seeing that Yu Lianzhou didn't have a sword, he asked, "Doesn't Yu Erxia have a sword?"

Yu Lianzhou shook his head and said, "In terms of swordsmanship, apart from my master, there is probably no one in the world who can compare to you, Young Master Zhou. I won't humiliate myself."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Have you learned Tai Chi?"

Yu Lianzhou was shocked. He really wanted to use Tai Chi to deal with Xin Zhen. Suddenly he remembered that Tai Chi was passed down to Wudang by Zhou Yan, and it was said that Tai Chi was created by him.

Yu Lianzhou suddenly lost his spirit. The more he learned Tai Chi, the more he felt how profound Tai Chi was. It was simply unfathomable. Wasn't it a joke that he, a half-baked person who hadn't even mastered the art, wanted to rely on it to fight against Xin Zhen, the original creator?

However, Yu Lianzhou also became excited. Although he had studied Tai Chi for a long time, he had not yet fully understood some of the essences of Tai Chi. If he could fight with Xin Zhen, the original creator, wouldn't he benefit a lot?
Yu Lianzhou smiled and said, "That's right, I was just about to ask Young Master Zhou for your advice."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I heard that Wudang Yu Erxia is particularly good at palm and claw techniques, and even created his own Wudang Tiger Claw Technique. I wonder how it compares to Shaolin's Dragon Claw Technique?"

Yu Lianzhou said modestly: "My wisdom is not comparable to the wisdom of countless generations of Shaolin monks. Naturally, I am not as good as them."

Xin Zhen thrust his sword behind his back and said with a smile, "Come here, let me see how much of the essence of Tai Chi you have mastered."

The people from the six major sects and the Ming Cult did not know that Xin Zhen had taught Wudang Tai Chi, so when they heard what Yu Lianzhou and Xin Zhen said, they only felt that Yu Lianzhou was very humble, while Zhou Yan was very brazen and had no respect for martial arts predecessors at all.

As soon as the two of them started to move, the six major sects and the Ming Cult all exclaimed.

When the two men started fighting, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, because Xin Zhen and Yu Lianzhou seemed like brothers from the same school, and they both used the same set of boxing techniques.

Nun Miejue couldn't help but ask Song Yuanqiao, "Master Song, what is the relationship between Zhou Yan and Wudang? Why does he use the same boxing techniques as Wudang? What's the story behind this boxing technique? Was it recently created by Master Zhang? How did the boxing technique created by Master Zhang fall into the hands of Zhou Yan, a demon from the evil sect?"

All the people from the six major sects and the Ming Cult pricked up their ears, because there might be a huge secret hidden in it.

Song Yuanqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Master, this is a long story..."

Nun Miejue said decisively: "Then let's make it short."

Song Yuanqiao said helplessly: "Seven or eight years ago, my master saved the Zhou Yan brothers by chance, and Zhou Yan brothers saved my nephew Wuji, and then guided my third junior brother Yu Daying's illness, so my master taught the Pure Yang Wuji Gong to Zhou Yan brothers.

However, the Zhou Yan brothers felt that the grace of my master for saving their lives was far less than the grace of teaching them the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu, so after they created Tai Chi, they insisted on giving it to the Wudang Sect.

In fact, we in Wudang felt that Brother Zhou Yan was too polite. My master saved him just by chance, but he saved Wuji and my third brother, which was real. My master taught him the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, which was definitely not enough to repay him. It was because Brother Zhou Yan was too grateful. We in Wudang should not have accepted Brother Zhou Yan's so-called gratitude. In fact, there is no such thing as gratitude. If we really want to talk about gratitude, it is us in Wudang who owe him gratitude.

It’s just that the Tai Chi techniques taught by the Zhou Yan brothers are so profound and sophisticated, and are the pinnacle of boxing in the world. I, Wudang, could not bear the greed and accepted it.

Alas, we have not yet repaid this great kindness, and today we have to fight against Brother Zhou Yan here. We in Wudang really feel guilty."

When Song Yuanqiao said this, people from both the six major sects and the Ming Cult were all shocked.

There are so many surprising things that I don’t know where to start.

First of all, Zhou Yan actually had such a deep connection with Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng was a model of righteousness. Not only did Zhang Sanfeng save Zhou Yan, he was also willing to teach him the Chunyang Wuji Gong, which showed that Zhang Sanfeng had already recognized Zhou Yan as a person.

You must know that Chunyang Wuji Gong is the highest martial art of Wudang. Except in very special circumstances, outsiders are absolutely not allowed to practice it. If someone secretly learns it, that person will be hunted down to the ends of the earth.

Secondly, Zhou Yan, at such a young age, had actually created a new style of boxing, and this style of boxing even made all the Wudang heroes unable to control themselves and become greedy.

You should know that all Wudang martial arts came from the hands of the peerless genius Zhang Sanfeng. Master Zhang was the best in the world for decades, and all the Wudang skills he created were top-notch skills in the martial arts world.

If it was an ordinary boxing style, the Wudang heroes might not even look at it. However, when they knew that Zhou Yan had no gratitude towards Wudang, they still shamelessly learned it. This shows that this boxing style has reached a certain level, and even Zhang Sanfeng praised it!

Xin Zhen used swordsmanship in all his fights today, so apart from Yang Xiao and others who had seen Xin Zhen beat Cheng Kun, as well as the people from the Wudang Sect, basically no one knew that Xin Zhen knew boxing.

After hearing this story, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, so they all stared with wide eyes at the boxing duel between Xin Zhen and the second Wudang hero Yu Lianzhou, wanting to see what was so special about these boxing techniques.

However, due to the different levels of martial arts attainments, what one sees is also different.

Those with less experience only felt that the two people on the field moved slowly, and they stuck to each other when fighting, as if they were cooperating with each other in play. Sometimes they drew circles with their hands, and sometimes they moved smoothly. It must be said that the movements were quite beautiful, but one also doubted: Can such boxing skills repel the enemy?
Those whose martial arts attainments have already entered the ranks of first-rate masters, such as the Shaolin monks Kongzhi and Kongxing, the head of Emei School Master Miejue and the heads of other major sects, Yang Xiao of the Ming Cult, and White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng and others, can see some clues.

In their eyes, the boxing theory used by Yu Lianzhou and Xin Zhen seemed to be completely different from the boxing theory of hundreds of years, as if they had embarked on a new path. It seemed that this Tai Chi boxing was a top-notch martial art that used slow to defeat fast and used stillness to control movement!

The two men were seen rotating their hands in circles, and it seemed that every move contained the subtle changes of yin and yang in the Tai Chi style, which opened up a new world unprecedented in martial arts.

Yin Tianzheng said with emotion: "Brother Zhou Yan is truly the greatest talent in the martial arts world today. He created this kind of boxing technique. As long as it is passed down, Brother Zhou Yan's name will be passed down for hundreds and thousands of years!"
