Chapter 86: Acupoint Striking

~7 min read 1,224 words

"Do I need you to believe me?" The old man’s tone was casual; he didn't take us seriously at all.

Hearing this, both Chen Duxiu and I gritted our teeth. Chen Duxiu wanted to rush forward directly, but I grabbed him: "Don't go up. If you get crippled by him now, you’re basically finished as a person!"

"Hmph, I’m no less worried about Su Xueya than you are. So what if I’m crippled? If you’re afraid, then don't go up!" Chen Duxiu snorted coldly.

"Don't be agitated, he shouldn't be a bad person!" Su Xueya saw us about to rush over and hurriedly tried to dissuade us. After all, judging from the situation just now, the gap between us and the old man in front of us was truly too large.

However, Chen Duxiu didn't listen at all and rushed up regardless. The old man saw this and shook his head helplessly: "If you are looking for death yourself, then don't blame me. But I will try to use less force; you must hold on!"

Chen Duxiu didn't speak, but proved everything with his actions. Both he and I rushed over. The old man saw us and was not flustered at all. He smiled slightly and simply dodged our attacks. By the time I reacted, I felt a pain in my back, and my whole body flew out and fell heavily to the ground nearby.

Chen Duxiu suffered the same fate as me; he also flew out and lay on the ground, but he immediately climbed back up.

The old man looked at Chen Duxiu and said: "Although your pain threshold is low, if you keep rushing like this, after a few times, you will become a cripple just like your friend!"

"So what? I don't care!"

"Why must you be like this? You’re risking your life for an uncertain factor; it’s not worth it!"

Chen Duxiu’s face was ugly, but he didn't retreat or back down; he rushed up again.

Seeing Chen Duxiu’s appearance, the old man shook his head helplessly, and Chen Duxiu was sent flying again.

Chen Duxiu climbed up again, and I hurriedly rushed up, kicking out. But the gap between us and the old man was truly too large; I couldn't touch him at all. In an instant, the old man dodged again, and I flew out again, eating a mouthful of dust.

Su Xueya just wanted to rush over to say something, but she was tapped by the old man again, and she stood there motionless once more.

Seeing this, both Chen Duxiu and I were stunned. I said in disbelief: "Is this... acupoint striking?"

"Not bad, you have a good eye!" The old man smiled and looked at me approvingly.

"Damn, I thought this kind of thing was just something made up in TV shows and novels to brag. I didn't expect it to be real. Does acupoint striking really exist in reality?"

"Acupoint striking itself is real. Human acupoints have been studied in medicine since ancient times, but they are rarely used in martial arts; they are mostly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

Chen Duxiu was also hesitant now. He looked at me and said: "What should we do?"

I was also in a very difficult position. The gap between us and the opponent was simply too large; we couldn't beat him at all.

Just at this moment, I suddenly heard a shout from not far away: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother!"

I was very familiar with this voice; it was Third Brother. I turned my head and saw Third Brother, Zhang Yinuo, and Fifth Brother coming over.

After they walked over, I looked at Zhang Yinuo and asked: "What’s the situation?"

"I’m sorry!" Zhang Yinuo lowered her head, not daring to look at me, like a child who had made a mistake. Seeing her reaction, I couldn't blame her anymore.

"Don't blame her. We insisted on coming. What’s the situation now? Why is our sister-in-law standing there motionless?" Third Brother looked at Su Xueya not far away, walked over, and looked very confused.

Just as he was about to touch Su Xueya, the old man suddenly came over, blocked his path, and said coldly: "Get lost!"

"Damn, you old man, what’s going on!"

Third Brother saw the old man in front of him and was furious. He looked at Chen Duxiu on the side and cursed at him: "Damn, you’re still here? Why are you alone? If it’s just you, that’s not enough to fight!"

"Get lost!" Chen Duxiu also replied to Third Brother with a single word.

"Damn, you!" Before Third Brother could finish, I grabbed him and said: "Don't be agitated, he is on our side now!"

Hearing my words, Third Brother was stunned, not understanding what I meant.

I hadn't explained yet, but at this moment, the old man’s phone suddenly rang. He looked at his phone, frowned, and then said to us: "I don't have time to play house with you. I have things to do!"

After speaking, the old man prepared to take Su Xueya to the car and leave. Seeing this, Chen Duxiu and I were not about to let that happen and rushed over. The old man said disdainfully: "Overestimating your own strength!"

At this moment, the old man’s strikes suddenly seemed much heavier than before. I felt as if I had been hit by a truck; my whole body was a bit dazed by the blow. Chen Duxiu was also not having a good time; he flew out very far. Although he didn't feel much pain, he couldn't handle this either.

Third Brother and Zhang Yinuo reacted only after seeing this scene. They looked at the old man with heavy expressions. Third Brother even cursed: "Damn, why are there so many experts now? How am I supposed to play, how am I supposed to show off in the future!"

But Third Brother had to go up. Just as he was about to rush, Zhang Yinuo grabbed him and said: "You are no match for him!"

"If I’m no match, what can I do? Should I just let him take Su Xueya away?" Third Brother said angrily.

"Don't move, let me try!" Zhang Yinuo’s expression was very serious.

Seeing Zhang Yinuo preparing to go up, I hurriedly shouted: "Yinuo, be careful, don't be impulsive. He is too powerful; we are not on the same level as him at all!"

Zhang Yinuo nodded: "I know!"

But Zhang Yinuo still prepared to strike. The old man looked at Zhang Yinuo and paused for a moment, asking suspiciously: "You girl are interesting. I can't tell, there is such a powerful young person in this small place. I just don't know if you’ve taken any drugs. If you really practiced this yourself, then that’s impressive!"

Zhang Yinuo didn't speak, but chose to strike directly. She rushed up quickly. The old man dodged to the side, his speed extremely fast: "Still too green, little girl!"

After speaking, the old man prepared to strike Zhang Yinuo’s back with a hand blade, but Zhang Yinuo did a backflip in the air and collided with the old man with a whip kick. The two collided directly. The old man had no reaction, only a look of surprise, but Zhang Yinuo retreated several steps, her whole body staggering.
