Bend and Straighten as Desired
If one were to be struck by this Empty Palm Strike, there would be no chance of survival. Even Qiu Qianren couldn't withstand it, so how could Ouyang Ke possibly do so?
Seeing his beloved son in dire straits, Ouyang Feng remained completely calm.
He extended his Snake Staff and hooked it around Ouyang Ke's belt, his eyes fixed on Ji Boying's entrance. At the same time, he moved and hooked Ouyang Ke away.
This powerful Empty Palm Strike slammed into the sandy ground on the shore of Taihu Lake with a loud bang, creating a large hole.
A few pebbles flew up, but Ouyang Feng blocked them all, and ultimately no one hurt Ouyang Ke.
Looking at the hole in the ground that was more than a foot deep, Ouyang Feng couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly.
No wonder that old fellow Qiu Qianren couldn't withstand it; its power is indeed formidable.
Ouyang Feng, carrying the panicked Ouyang Ke, fled in a flash.
It was precisely because he and Huang Yaoshi had been rivals for many years that he had experience dealing with the force of the Empty Palm Strike.
That's why he remained calm and composed when Ji Boying struck out with that palm.
The reason is that if the Empty Palm Strike is not used, it is fine, but the moment it is used is the easiest to deal with, because the Empty Palm Strike goes straight and cannot be turned.
Although the combat power displayed is sharp and swift, as long as you keep an eye on the enemy's initial movements and prepare in advance, you can react to the enemy's moves.
Then you can turn and dodge, making the straight-lined Empty Palm Strike miss.
Ouyang Feng wanted to escape, Ji Boying wouldn't let him.
I absolutely have to kill another one of the Five Greats today for fun.
Ouyang Feng possessed profound skill, and the Lightness Skill of the White Camel Manor, which allowed him to travel Instantaneous Thousand Miles, was also extremely miraculous. No matter how he dodged or tried to escape, he could not evade Ji Boying's pursuit.
Ji Boying chased after him with even greater ease, clearly demonstrating superior Lightness Skill, like a persistent, intractable disease.
This made Ouyang Feng grit his teeth in hatred, but he also felt quite powerless and helpless.
"Uncle, uncle, run! Run!"
Ouyang Ke was being held in Ouyang Feng's hands, covered in Great Khan and his face was deathly pale.
Hearing the sound of the wind being torn apart, which was like the roar of a dragon, ringing in his ears, he was terrified.
Under Ouyang Feng's control, he dodged to the limit, but palm strikes grazed past him and hit the ground, creating a large hole and sending soil and rocks flying everywhere.
Many mud splatters had already splashed all over Ouyang Ke's face.
"Shut up!"
Ouyang Feng was so annoyed by the noise that he was sweating profusely and his body was radiating heat. He no longer cared about the deep bond between father and son.
He dodged and weaved through the crowd, searching for a chance to escape.
Ji Boying remained suspended more than two zhang away, unable to widen the distance, and his Empty Palm Strike always managed to hit him.
If one were to receive such a blow, judging by its power alone, it would be no less unpleasant than receiving a direct blow from Hong Qigong.
Even Ouyang Feng dared not be distracted in the slightest.
He gritted his teeth, his gaze was cold and fierce, and his heart was filled with resentment. In the past, among the Five Greats, Ouyang Feng was the kind of person who could deal violent damage and was extremely fierce.
Now, however, he is being overwhelmed by a junior using Empty Palm Strike technique.
Each strike was no less powerful than a small stone cannon used by an army in battle.
Yet, the attacks were so swift and precise, raining down the projectiles from these small stone cannons. Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Greats, was unable to lift his head.
Seeing that Ji Boying was pressing closer.
Ouyang Feng grabbed an ordinary soldier and threw him behind him, placing him in front of Ji Boying.
This only provided slight resistance before being shattered by Ji Boying's palm strike.
Minced flesh and blood mist exploded in the air, forming a layer of red gauze.
"A miscalculation, a miscalculation!"
Ji Boying quickly dodged aside.
"I was in a good mood and shouldn't have used the Empty Palm Strike technique. Rushing in like that was really disgusting."
In other life-or-death struggles, Ji Boying wouldn't care about such disgusting things.
Now that he has gained an absolute advantage, he really doesn't want to plunge headlong into that gut and lung again.
I should have gently pushed it aside with my sword or kicked it away.
However, Ji Boying was so adept at using the Empty Palm Strike that it felt like firing cannonballs, giving him the same exhilarating experience as firearms.
It's like a mortar when you pick it up, yet it can fire in rapid succession.
The two palms struck out in quick succession, followed by a sharp, piercing dragon's roar and a series of booming explosions.
After playing with so many exquisite martial arts moves and dazzling sword techniques, it's quite interesting to suddenly try something like overwhelming others with brute force.
This brief moment gave Ouyang Feng a chance to catch his breath, and Ji Boying continued his attack.
"Let's see how you dodge this!"
Out of the corner of his eye, Ouyang Feng saw Ji Boying chasing after him again, and he raised his hand from afar, intending to unleash Empty Palm Strike.
He wondered to himself, "Even Huang Yaoshi's Empty Palm Strike only covers a distance of two zhang. Now that we are four or five zhang apart, what's the use of using the Empty Palm Strike? It's just a waste of internal energy."
Although he thought this way, he still dared not be careless, even though from the brief exchange just now, Ji Boying's Empty Palm Strike only traveled a little over two zhang.
But who knows if he's hiding his true strength?
At this critical moment of life and death, Ouyang Feng naturally dared not gamble.
"What a cunning and ruthless brat!"
Ouyang Feng rolled to the side in a disheveled state, cursing under his breath.
It was because Ouyang Feng, carrying Ouyang Ke on his left, moved the slowest.
Unfortunately Ji Boying's palm Empty Palm Strike was aimed directly at Ouyang Ke.
Such insidious and vicious things were something only I would do before. None of the other Four Greats cared about their reputation, so why would they deliberately attack such a weakness?
Those four of them would never take advantage of someone in distress. Damn it, we've really met our match!
Ouyang Feng rolled to the right, thinking he had dodged the palm strike.
But no sound of the palm striking the ground was heard.
Instead, a piercing shriek, like a dragon's roar, still echoed in my ears.
Before I could react, I did another lazy roll.
The blow was so close, it was almost fatal. The palm struck the ground, sending shards of stone flying and leaving Ouyang Ke with a bruised and swollen face.
Even Ouyang Feng was covered in dust and dirt.
"Bend and Straighten as Desired? How is that possible!"
This time, Ouyang Feng really cried out in surprise.
Even Huang Yaoshi, who was trailing far behind and unwilling to kick someone when they're down, couldn't help but leap over.
Ouyang Feng dared not delay. He knew that Ji Boying would not explain for him, so he unleashed his full potential and fled for his life.
He imitated the attack of venomous snakes and created his own Spirit Snake Fist, which aimed to make the arms soft and boneless so that they could attack from unconventional angles and catch the opponent off guard.
It was a special move prepared specifically for Hong Qigong and his group.
When Ouyang Feng created this skill, he did think about how powerful it would be if he could incorporate the Empty Palm Strike into it, creating a force that could be turned at will.
It was simply impossible to achieve despite numerous attempts.
Even when I fought Huang Yaoshi just now, I didn't see Huang Yaoshi use such a move.
What kind of little devil sprang from a crack in the rock? How does he possess such divine skills?
Could he be from some hidden sect?
