Chapter 198

Swish!

Chen Jie stepped out half a step with his foot, unfolding the Xingyi Quan opening stance.

He seemed not to have heard Man Cai's words; his face showed no emotional change whatsoever.

Immediately after,

Only to hear Chen Jie say calmly:

"Man Cai! When I first started practicing martial arts, I once took you as my target, because five years ago you had already won the 'Asia Martial Arts Championship' championship!"

"When our coach taught everyone tactical play and the attack and defense rhythm against Muay Thai, he specifically used you as a template for explanation."

"What I did not expect was that today I would actually have to fight a peak showdown with you on the boxing ring!"

"Come on! No more nonsense, let me see just how strong you are, Man Cai, one of the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World 'Four Heavenly Kings', the 'Fire Dragon King'!"

"Perhaps... after tonight, the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World 'Four Heavenly Kings' will become a thing of the past!"

Chen Jie's tone was very calm, composed.

He had no arrogant or conceited emotion.

Man Cai's body emitted a ferocious beast-like aura, heart trembling fear, giving people infinite oppression.

The most efficient fighting method is 'defensive counterattack'!

Power must be fierce, heart must be steady!

Both feet grip the ground, not panicked, not rushed, not chaotic!

Gaze continuously observes the opponent's middle line; when the opponent erupts in strong attack, able to make effective defense.

"As a top boxer, the inner heart indeed must maintain a 'must win' belief."

"Not bad... you are excellent!"

The match bell rang.

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, the entire boxing hall's atmosphere suddenly became tense, intense, suffocating.

Bang!

Chen Jie's foot stomped fiercely, arm muscles tensed, fists clenched like iron.

Southeast Asia Chiang Mai Division, 'Shuanglong Temple' boxing arena's 'Points Gambling Battle', the fifth match challenge formally opened its curtain.

His gaze slanted upward, staring at Chen Jie's middle line.

Man Cai heard this and instantly froze, then shook his head, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

Simultaneously,

Fire Dragon King — Man Cai!

This is the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World's top 'Muay Thai King', who once swept across the Asian Martial Arts World, achieving peak battle records, a powerful expert.

All the honors and battle records he obtained were earned through one boxing match after another, absolutely not so-called experts hyped up by the media.

Thus it can be seen, the upcoming challenge is absolutely tonight's most spectacular peak showdown.

He was like a ferocious beast baring fangs at prey, killing intent soaring.

If not counterattacking then don't; once counterattacking, like thunder's momentum, fierce and extraordinary.

This moment,

That aura Man Cai erupted with was truly indescribable.

His center of gravity was very low, muscles congested and swollen, protruding high, containing terrifying power.

His feet slightly bowed, not rushing to erupt in strong attack, but unfolding an attack and defense stance.

Only saw China's 'Canglong' facing Man Cai, inner heart without a trace of panic, very calm.

Xingyi three-body stance, attack and defense as one.

Tyrannical, fierce, bloodthirsty, cold and ruthless.

This moment,

As long as control the distance between both sides well, both offense and defense, no matter how fierce the opponent's attack, there is no threat whatsoever.

"In any state, even facing an unbeatable opponent, one must maintain a strand of pride, letting one's strength be able to display one hundred percent."

However,

"Today I will let you witness what is the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World's 'Four Heavenly Kings'!"

Bang!

Man Cai stomped his foot, gaze deep and terrifying.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend!

"Young man, you are arrogant!"

In the Southeast Asian underground boxing arena, he had beaten to death not a few people.

Anyone from his tone could feel a powerful fighting intent.

Ding!

Betting countdown ended.

His body bowed, whole body fighting intent rising straight up.

After entering combat state, inner heart maintains highly calm state, attention highly concentrated.

But a scene on the boxing ring let everyone present feel surprised is.

Huu—!

He took a deep breath, gaze cautious staring at the Man Cai opposite.

At this time,

Hiss...!

All the boxing fans present felt a thread of fierce killing intent, and suddenly they all held their breath.

The core of the defensive counterattack style is that one must absolutely maintain calm.

Use stillness to control movement, see the move and dismantle the move!

Before figuring out Man Cai's trump card killing move, when one has not yet adapted to the opponent's attack rhythm.

Looking at it,

He looks just like a true fierce beast, ready at any moment to erupt in a frenzy of tearing and biting at prey.

Boom...!

As his whole body's Qi and Blood surged upward, a tattoo appeared on his body, faintly visible.

Naga Fire Dragon!

This is the guardian deity of the Mekong River in Thailand South, looking just like a King Cobra, spewing a ball of flame from its mouth!

Fire Dragon King!

That's right,

This is the origin of Man Cai's nickname!

The Naga 'Fire-Spewing Giant Dragon' tattoo's eyes seemed to have opened, staring dead at Chen Jie, giving a fierce and vicious feeling.

Ferocious, cruel, terrifying, suffocating!

Hu—!

Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Man Cai's aura was violently tyrannical, filled with killing intent, giving a kind of extremely strong oppression.

Just like facing a wild beast, it seemed as long as he revealed a thread of a flaw, he would soon be pounced on, torn and bitten, crushed.

This kind of oppressive feeling is very hard to describe with brief words.

Man Cai is a top expert of the Thai Boxing Training Camp, having bitterly trained in Muay Thai since childhood.

Due to his outstanding talent, in his youth he was sent to the 'Ancient Thai Camp' to accept the Ancient Muay Thai force generation inheritance.

He is tall and mighty in build, muscles robust, legs and arms both longer than ordinary boxers.

So in hard clash battles, he can occupy a huge advantage.

Just as Chen Jie assumed the Xingyi Attack-Defense Style.

In a split second,

A bursting sound rang out from the boxing ring.

Wu wu...

Immediately after, fierce wind whistled, sweeping toward him.

The bell had just sounded, and Man Cai instantly erupted in a strong attack, without the slightest thought of delaying time.

Bang...!

One leg thrust forward in a kick, immediately followed by foot power stomping, body leaping into the air.

Borrowing the rushing momentum of the stomp kick, Man Cai's speed was inconceivably fast.

His combat experience is incomparably rich, his ability to control the distance between both sides is also unmatched.

Originally both sides were separated by several meters.

But,

Man Cai's feet instantly exerted force, in the blink of an eye closing the distance between both sides.

One leg swept horizontally, like the momentum of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

Tornado Sweep Kick Combo!

Ancient Muay Thai style, mid-air sweep kick, unstoppable!

This is a strong attack style, borrowing the body's mid-air momentum, both legs forming a wheel-style sweep kick.

Swift, fierce, powerful...!

Especially the control of distance, shocking.

The target of this Tornado Sweep Kick Combo is Chen Jie's midline vital points.

Extreme Heavy Leg Explosive Power reaches the limit, killing intent infinite.

Either don't make a move, a move is a killing technique!

Ancient Muay Thai's heavy strike killing move, fierce to a messy degree.

Bang, bang, bang...!

Sweep kick, splitting kill!

Ancient Muay Thai killing technique combo killing move — Three-Heavens Violent Kick!

In a split second,

Man Cai without the slightest hesitation, instantly erupted with one of the most domineering leg technique killing moves in Ancient Muay Thai.

This is one of the Ancient Muay Thai killing techniques, called the 'Forbidden Move'!

Among Ancient Muay Thai killing moves, it possesses a very domineering name — Heavenly Emperor Crossing the Sea!

This is a high kick method, offensive nature extremely terrifying.

Kick like wind, split kill like axe!

That terrifying explosive power, surging and tumultuous, shocking.

As Man Cai erupted with the Ancient Muay Thai killing technique, his whole person's state became extremely frenzied.

Just like a fierce beast revealing fangs, beginning a frenzied attack on prey, tearing and biting.

His heavy leg killing moves came in continuous succession, reaching the realm of the miraculous.

Whether it was attack angle, speed, explosive power, or the like, all of it left one with no way to dodge, impossible to guard against.

The key was,

Every single one of his heavy leg killing moves had angles that changed unpredictably, dazzling the eyes, untraceable.

Even with Chen Jie's 【Reaction Speed】, it was very difficult to predict his attack direction and intent.

Actually,

On the Octagonal Cage Boxing Ring, compared to other fighting techniques, such as Sambo, Maga Art, Kickboxing... and so on, Ancient Muay Thai's techniques are very simple, and have nothing particularly clever about them.

Simple, crude, fierce, direct!

This is the most prominent characteristic of the Ancient Muay Thai fighting style.

However,

It is precisely this leg technique with no clever techniques to speak of that makes it very difficult to withstand.

Because,

Any expert who cultivates Ancient Muay Thai, their speed and explosive power are both very terrifying, and they revere offense.

And from a young age they stimulate the body's potential, continuously adopting the 'Extreme Training Method' to bitterly train, causing their bones to be incomparably hard, hardness far surpassing ordinary boxers.

At this moment,

Man Cai unleashed his most powerful offense, unstoppable.

He displayed the Ancient Muay Thai fighting style to the fullest.

That indomitable attacking power made one's scalp go numb.

Thud thud thud...

Chen Jie's Xingyi Damage Chong Step under his feet was pushed to the limit, continuously retreating, pulling away distance, dodging Man Cai's Ancient Muay Thai killing technique offense.

At this time,

His mind became extremely calm, his gaze deeply terrifying.

The Ancient Muay Thai fighting style is not only fierce and domineering, but simultaneously cooperates with elbow strike killing moves, making it impossible to guard against.

As long as one is hit by a single Ancient Muay Thai combo finisher, it is either death or injury!

Even if the attacked part is not a fatal vital point, it can absolutely shatter a person's bones, causing severe trauma.

This kind of 'strong offense style' fighting method, both speed and rhythm are extremely fast, very difficult to hard-block.

"Damn it... this is the Southeast Asian Martial Arts World 'Four Heavenly Kings' strong offense?"

"Worthy of being Southeast Asia's top Muay Thai King, the offensive momentum is no small matter!"

"What terrifying explosive power and speed...!"

Hah—!

Chen Jie exhaled a breath, not daring the slightest carelessness.

Man Cai's Ancient Muay Thai combo killing move offense changed unpredictably, untraceable.

Especially his attack rhythm, fast as lightning, one move following another, forcefully suppressing.

Fortunately Chen Jie's 【Reaction Speed】 was fast enough, and simultaneously his comprehension of Xingyi Footwork was deep enough.

And his agility was stronger than Man Cai's, his control over the boxing ring rhythm not at all weaker than Man Cai's.

Otherwise, under Man Cai's such fierce offensive state, Chen Jie would very likely be forcefully suppressed by the opponent, until beaten to collapse.

And now,

After Chen Jie pulled away distance, Man Cai's offense instantly lost its place to be used.

Whoosh...!

A step leg under his feet, borrowing force to rebound.

The next moment,

Chen Jie shook off Man Cai's attack range, retreating several meters away.

He slightly furrowed his brow, raised his head to observe Man Cai's middle line offset.

Any powerful offense can be effectively predicted through the middle line's offset.

Power originates from the ground, is mastered in the waist, issued in the legs!

So,

A powerful offense must form a body offset to effectively erupt 'acceleration'!

If the body does not offset, then the muscles lack the distance to transmit force, unable to form the most terrifying killing power.

Chen Jie's mind was empty and clear, his gaze constantly staring at Man Cai's middle line, predicting his next killing move offense.

Bang, bang, bang...

The fierce and domineering Ancient Muay Thai combo finisher attacked strongly like a tsunami.

At this moment,

Man Cai was like a transformed tyrannosaur, crazily tearing at prey.

The Ancient Muay Thai killing technique's strong offense fighting method was ferocious to a messy degree, leaving one with no way to dodge.

Especially the leg technique's eruption, even more so with heavy momentum and force, crushing withered wood and pulling rotten trees!

In Ancient Muay Thai's heavy leg killing moves, two kinds of leg techniques often appear, power extremely strong, killing power no small matter.

The first most common leg technique is — Sweep Kick!

Ancient Muay Thai's sweep kick offense differs from Taekwondo, Kyokushin Karate, Sanda, and other fighting techniques' sweep kicks.

It has no excessive techniques, movements extremely simple, pure, direct!

It goes up like the most basic movement, every martial practitioner can practice it upon entry.

Power erupts swift as thunder, moving in an instant, the raised leg like a knife!

Using a single-leg stance or leaping into the air, the waist twists, erupting with twisting force in an instant.

When unleashing Ancient Muay Thai sweep kicks, the leg momentum generally attacks diagonally, forming an arc, making it impossible to defend against!

And under general circumstances, the target of a sweep kick attack is both sides of the human body.

To avoid it, the difficulty is extremely high.

Anyone who has practiced Muay Thai knows that Muay Thai's main attack core is leg techniques and elbow strikes!

It values speed and power, and does not pay much attention to technique.

So,

Ancient Muay Thai's leg techniques, although the movements are simple,

but the simpler they are, the harder they are to train, the stronger the attack, and the harder to defend against.

The Avenue reaches simplicity!

Any martial art, as long as it has undergone Hundred Forgings, possesses the power of One Hit Kill.

It can even be said this way.

Ancient Muay Thai can be called by the Global Martial Arts World as 'the strongest stand-up fighting technique of the Global Martial Arts World in five hundred years'!

All of this is inseparable from Ancient Muay Thai's Leg Technique Combination Killing Move.

Muay Thai's Sweeping Leg Heavy Strike almost stimulates the Limit Explosive Power of 'Sweep Kick' to the Peak of the human body.

The second common leg technique is—Split Leg!

Heavy Leg Chop Kill!

Using the amplification of gravity, the body leaps into the air, forming a downward chopping kill from above, targeting the human body's Middle Line.

The power generation of Split Leg and Sweep Kick is completely different!

However, it can be affirmed that these two Ancient Muay Thai Leg Technique Combination Killing Moves both possess extremely terrifying power, possessing the strength to kill an opponent in one move.

This is also why whether it is Taekwondo, Kyokushin Karate, Sambo, Krav Maga, Kickboxing... and other martial arts fighting techniques, they all attach extreme importance to leg techniques!

Besides Boxing, the attack core of any stand-up martial art actually mainly relies on leg techniques.

The reason is very simple: the leg technique's 【Limit Explosive Power】 exceeds any attack method, and can control the distance between both sides.

Leg techniques are easy to learn, hard to master!

This is also why in Chinese Martial Arts, the requirement for 'Stake Training' is extremely high.

The most basic requirement of powerful leg techniques is the balance of the center of gravity.

In the system of Chinese Martial Arts, leg techniques are an indispensable part.

Whether it is the leg technique system of the north or the Southern Fist System, leg techniques are very important.

However,

Anyone who wants to train leg techniques to a profound realm, the difficulty is extremely high.

Lacking Force Generation Inheritance, and no one starts from the most basic 【Stake Training】 to temper their balance!

Wanting to train leg techniques well, the difficulty can be imagined.

This is also an important reason why the Sanda System does not advocate 'high kicks'.

High kick leg techniques easily cause one's center of gravity to lose balance.

But all of this, for Chen Jie, is almost without difficulty.

He only needs to adapt to his Martial Arts Power Realm, and let his kung fu be integrated and understood thoroughly.

His martial arts inheritance and realm were both obtained in the Dream.

What he lacks now is not martial arts power generation inheritance and realm improvement, but the tempering of time!
