The Lion's Roar Technique Shows Its Might, Wei Yenwu and His Wife Make Their Move / Rat King, The Emperor: This Couple Is Getting Harder and Harder to Cross!

As expected, Tai He lost his footing and forgot to use his Originium Arts, so he was kicked out of the clothing store by the Rat King. Outside, another master of internal energy was waiting for him.

The zither music was melancholic, yet it concealed a deadly intent. Taihe Tai He more experienced than Waai Fu and immediately sensed the danger in the music. His gaze was instantly fixed on the Emperor plucking the strings in the distance!

"This person... is probably serious. If we don't deal with it seriously... getting injured is a minor matter, but if we lose face in the movie and the world thinks that the officials of our Great Yan are not skilled in martial arts, that would be terrible."

"It seems we must go all out!"

Tai He listened to the distant sound of the Emperor's zither, the piece "Zither's Edge" slowly began to play. In the scene, the Emperor himself, being short in stature, sat on a high chair, but the zither was strangely floating in mid-air, as if supported by an invisible tabletop.

Wow! The boss is amazing! He can actually make a guzheng float in mid-air?!

This scene astonished the Penguin Logistics team even more. Exusiai eating potato chips, completely oblivious to the crumbs scattered all over the floor. They were all stunned by the Emperor's unprecedentedly high-class operation.

"... Actually, my dad can too." Lin Yuxia paused for a moment. Although she wanted to show her surprise, she felt that acting like Exusiai dignity, so she pretended to be calm.

However, Lin Yuxia's eyes were also shining, and she paid special attention to this method of supporting the guzheng with internal energy. Waai Fu had similar thoughts to Lin Yuxia, but she wasn't trying to look cool; she was deeply aware of the gap between herself and a true master of internal energy.

However, the two girls had one thing in common: neither of them intended to seek advice from their fathers, but instead planned to find Chen Qi, this "hidden master," to teach them internal skills. Also, neither of their fathers knew their daughters' thoughts.

Meanwhile, Ah and Lee, sitting in a car not far away, were also watching the fight scene. Ah was now very immersed in the role and immediately said:

"Offending the Axe Gang is a death wish! Let's kill these three bastards first, then turn their place into a brothel!"

"I told you not to block my way." Lee, thinking of the special perk of spanking children in movies, slapped A across the face without mercy, and continued to watch his two old friends' performance with great interest.

But at this moment, no one knew that a dark shadow was also watching the performance of the Rat King and the Emperor. It wanted to know the strength of the strongest people in the Lungmen so that it could formulate its own plan to possess someone.

However, the Emperor's status as the "Beast Lord" led him to choose to give up, and he felt that the Rat King and Tai He were not worth it. Now that he is here, he can only see what these people are capable of.

"Thump!"

Almost simultaneously, the Emperor, who was pretending to be blind and keeping his eyes closed, attacked Tai He without even looking! Tai He instinctively dodged, but a cut appeared on his cheek, drawing blood!

Just as he expected, this was a real attack! Tai He didn't even have a chance to think before the Emperor launched another attack. This time, Tai He vaguely saw a large sword coming down at him, and instinctively used his iron-ringed arms to block it!

"Bang!"

With a single strike, Tai He was sent flying, and the iron ring was shattered by the Emperor's internal energy!

"He broke the Iron Wire Fist in one move?!" Waai Fu was also taken aback. She had experienced Tai He's strength firsthand; she knew she had no chance of breaking the Iron Wire Fist, yet the Emperor had broken it so easily?

"This is the difference between internal and external martial arts." Seeing his daughter's interest in internal martial arts, Huai Tianpei said, "No matter how strong your external martial arts are, if you can't achieve physical immortality, you'll still be suppressed by someone with profound internal martial arts. The true essence of martial arts lies in the simultaneous development of internal and external skills."

"Once you learn more about internal energy cultivation, your martial arts skills will reach a higher level. After twenty years of practice, you should also reach that level."

"Twenty years?"

As soon as Huai Tianpei finished speaking, Exusiai was originally very excited, also froze. For the Sarkaz race, who love to cause trouble and destruction, the word "patience" has always been a false proposition. The Sarkaz will do whatever they want immediately, and their own kind will understand.

Therefore, the long and tedious path of martial arts training is precisely the fundamental reason why the Sankta cannot master its essence—especially since they are not a race with particularly long lifespans.

As filming progresses, the clash between the Emperor and Tai He intensifies. Tai He is powerless against the Emperor's music. Having lost his iron ring, he attempts to retaliate with a stone roller, but the Emperor uses his internal energy to create an invisible protective layer, directly knocking the stone roller away!

After that, the Emperor used his inner voice to unleash three punches on Tai He, sending the Forte man flying a full meter away and rendering him completely incapacitated.

--Of course, these effects were only achieved through Xi's imitation not far away. Otherwise, apart from experts like Chongyue Huai Tianpei, everyone would only see the stone roller suddenly flying halfway before being pushed back in the opposite direction, and Tai He originally Forte man, also being suddenly knocked away.

Xi's coloring method made it clear to everyone how Tai He was defeated. And clearly, Tai He was no match for the Emperor.

"Fortunately, this is just filming." Chongyue nodded, having also noticed something amiss with Tai He, who had been sent flying, and said:

"Although the Emperor's last three punches were powerful, they avoided vital points. The locations of those three punches were also drawn by Xi in time through sound; otherwise, Tai He would have been seriously injured this time."

Having said that, Chongyue slowly stood up, and Huai Tianpei couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Where are you going?"

"... Go prepare to handle the situation. It's Director Chen Qi's request. Although action scenes require everyone to go all out, Director Chen Qi doesn't want anyone to actually get hurt. So, for the next scene, I need to add an extra layer of protection to safeguard Shang Zhong."

"Otherwise, if this duel gets out of control, Shang Zhong's martial arts might be crippled. And now that he can fight against two masters, the Emperor and the Rat King, how can he possibly stop?"

Martial artists share a tacit understanding: whoever is more skilled and of better character is respected. However, sparring and duels are different. Everyone hopes to spar with the strong, but duels are also part of a martial artist's pursuit—because they can unleash their potential!

Now that he finally has the chance to fight against top experts like the Rat King and the Emperor, Chongyue doesn't think Shang Zhong will miss this opportunity. He will definitely go all out!

In such situations, even the strongest can make mistakes when facing a challenger who is giving it their all. Chongyue is to prevent this possibility, which is why he solemnly accepted Chen Qi's commission.

In front of the camera, after Tai He was defeated by the Emperor, the Emperor also flew back to his chair. The Rat King helped to steady the zither again, and another melody fell!

In a daze, Tai He seemed to see several blades of light rushing towards him—and at that moment, Shang Zhong's figure finally rushed out from the side, but this time, a spearhead appeared on his long staff, aimed at the Emperor and the Rat King.

Staff techniques and spear techniques share the same origin, but equipping a staff with a spearhead makes it more lethal and allows for a wider variety of moves. Equipping a staff with a spear can be considered Shang Zhong's true all-out effort now!

The Emperor and the Rat King, one relying on hearing and the other on seeing, reacted almost simultaneously. The Rat King crossed one knee to support the zither, and both of them placed all four hands on the strings, clearly taking Shang Zhong, their enemy, seriously.

Just then, seemingly unable to hold back any longer, he suddenly pushed open the window, interrupting the fight.

"Are you kidding me? Fighting here! Who's going to pay for the broken things?!"

"I'm so sorry! It's okay, it's okay!"

However, Madam Wen Yue's cursing didn't last long before Wei Yenwu pulled her back. Although the fact that the two of them didn't make a move disappointed the onlookers, Huai Tianpei did see a harbinger of something.

"Are they already itching to make a move? No wonder Director Chen Qi said this might be the most exciting fight scene in the movie... It looks like it won't end so easily."

"Lion's Roar Technique and Tai Chi? I've seen Chen Qi use one of those moves before, but it was clearly his Feranmut power. How much of his power does this Lion's Roar Technique, as a martial art, possess?"

Not far away, the second brother was watching this scene. He had roughly guessed that Wei Yenwu and his wife would not be able to resist taking action. The second brother, who had been frightened by Chen Qi's "Feranmut power", gave up his plan to possess Chen Qi directly - he was afraid that his soul would be shattered by this power.

How Madam Wen Yue performs this time will directly affect his plans... How exactly should he deal with this martial art that seems to have a restraining effect on "evil"?

Chapter 220: The Lion's Roar Technique Shows Its Power for the First Time, and the Wei Yenwu Couple Take Action

Wei Yenwu Wenyue didn't make a move, but everyone could see that they would eventually lose their temper. At the moment, however, only Shang Zhong was facing the combined forces of the Rat King and the Emperor. Clearly, his use of a spear as a weapon and his level of martial arts skill meant that it would take the combined efforts of the two of them to ensure a successful defeat.

This performance was due not only to the combined efforts of the Rat King and the Emperor, but also to Xi's extra effort in this duel. In this battle, Xi's imitations were no longer just about the flash of the blade, but each time she drew the complete blade.

This not only clearly demonstrates the importance that the Emperor and the Rat King place on Shang Zhong, but also shows that Shang Zhong's martial arts skills are indeed the highest among the three, making him the only one who can clearly distinguish and react to the Emperor and the Rat King's attacks.

Cut off his spearhead.

"I know!"

The Rat King and the Emperor did not exchange any words. Cong knew how to suppress Shangshu with just a simple exchange of glances. Blades of light continuously attacked Shang Zhong's spear shaft, and sure enough, they severed the spearhead of Shang Zhong.

But Shang Zhong remained calm and threw the bag on his back into the air. Immediately, more than a dozen spears with spearheads fell down to block the attacks of the Rat King and the Emperor!

"Wow, amazing... to wield a spear with such incredible skill."

In front of the camera, Shang Zhong held a spear in each hand. After blocking each wave of attacks, he would throw the spears into the air and then use a new spear to block the attack. This gave the spears enough time to neutralize the internal energy and reduced the possibility of each spear being cut off like the last time.

Such skill was rare to receive such affirmation from Huai Tianpei. He did not deny his daughter's sentiments, and said calmly:

"If he could be held back, and if the other two could also contribute, there might be a chance of victory... It's just a pity that he only has the strength of one person now, and his only fate is defeat."

As Huai Tianpei said, facing the increasingly fierce attacks of the Rat King and the Emperor, Shang Zhong also began to be unable to resist and chose to break through with a do-or-die attitude! He kicked several spears at the two of them, and holding a spear himself, he also began to try to break through the encirclement of their music.

Gradually, the music began to rise higher and higher. Even though Shang Zhong was breaking through with all his might, he still lost a few hairs and his clothes were torn. But he still found an opportunity that slipped through his fingers!

As the music ended, Shang Zhong broke through the encirclement alone, but the Emperor and the Rat King immediately cooperated and helped the zither up again!

"Ta-da!"

With a burst of zither music, the familiar protective shield formed by internal energy reappeared! And Shang Zhong's spearhead, which was only inches away from the two of them, could no longer advance!

Instead of the white waxwood spear shaft shattering into pieces, it soon burst open! With the Emperor's counterattack, Shang Zhong was directly blasted away by this powerful internal force, returning to his original position.

If it weren't for a miraculous internal energy protecting Shang Zhong's body at this moment, this single blow would have been enough to cause his tiger's mouth to split open and him to lose all his martial arts skills.

"Oh! What a pity!"

Inside the screening room, everyone was furious to see Shang Zhong fall short of victory. They were so close to winning! Why did those two have to have a defensive move?!

"He should have been given an iron spear! That way, it definitely wouldn't have broken!" Exusiai said indignantly. However, Huai Tianpei and his daughter, who both knew martial arts, shook their heads. Huai Tianpei explained:

"That won't work. The most important aspect of marksmanship is the flexibility of the spear itself. Although steel spears are hard, they lack flexibility and cannot withstand the pressure from internal energy or other heavy weapons."

"If it were a steel spear, Shang Zhong wouldn't even be able to put up a fight at the beginning. The shockwave from the steel spear would cause him extremely serious internal injuries. At that point, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to save his life."

"... Moreover, Shang Zhong's martial arts are far inferior to those of the Rat King and the Emperor. Even with the best weapons, he would inevitably be unable to withstand their attacks. This is a difference in martial arts level, which cannot be bridged by divine weapons."

Huai Tianpei knew very well that once martial arts reached a certain level, weapons were merely auxiliary tools. A true master could achieve the same effect as a divine weapon even with just a wooden stick in hand.

Weapons are mostly used to fight opponents of the same level, to gain the upper hand as much as possible. They cannot change the gap in skill levels depicted in movies today.

Both Shang Zhong and Tai He were forced back. Shang Zhong's internal energy was disordered and his hands were bleeding, while Tai He blocked another wave of damage for Shang Zhong. Although most of the damage was neutralized by Chongyue, who was not far away, both of them lost their fighting ability and became lambs to the slaughter.

At this moment, Madam Wen Yue could no longer sit still. She opened the window again and angrily shouted at the group:

"Have you two had enough? What time is it? Don't you need to sleep?!"

However, Wenyue's words did nothing to the Emperor and the Rat King. Instead, A took the initiative to get out of the carriage, cursing at Madam Wen Yue while throwing the axe at her, saying:

"You old hag! Just give me a rest!"

"Where did I say something wrong?! You two are arguing endlessly--"

But this time, Madam Wen Yue, who had caught the axe, was pulled back by Wei Yenwu again, and the window was closed again. The two still seemed to have no intention of fighting.

But everyone knew that the two were already teetering on the edge of making a move. In the movie, Madam Wen Yue's actions were also a constant warning to the Rat King and the Emperor to know when to stop.

In the current situation, if it were truly a life-or-death battle, Shang Zhong and Tai He would have a very difficult time surviving given their injuries. Even if they did survive, they would have lost all their martial arts skills and would no longer pose any threat.

Even in the world of martial arts, there's a rule of stopping short of a fight, and righteous martial arts practitioners all follow this principle. However, the characters "Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Defect," played by the Rat King and the Emperor, clearly don't take this rule seriously.

They were assassins; they only got paid for bringing back their target's head. The two men simultaneously strummed their zithers, and with another burst of sound, dozens of sonic blades attacked them once more!

As the zither music played, everyone in the projection room held their breath, knowing that this move would surely kill Tai He Shang Zhong, who were now powerless to resist!

But just as the music was coming to an end, and everything seemed to be settling down, an unexpected turn of events occurred!

"Stop arguing!!"

Suddenly, as if by natural Catastrophe, a fierce storm swept in from Madam Wen Yue's room! The raging storm even formed an air wall, blocking all the swords and blades formed from the Rat King and the Emperor's internal energy!

Not only that, but all the strings of the guzheng broke under the violent sound waves! Even many of the cameras set up around the film crew went completely black, as they were completely unable to work due to the shockwave!

"* Yan Shangshu swearing*! Protect the equipment!"

At this moment, even Chen Qi and Nian were startled. Fortunately, Chongyue, who was not far away, used his internal energy to form an air wall, blocking the power of Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar Technique, thus protecting most of the equipment on Chen Qi's side.

"Leave it to me, keep filming. I'll protect the photographers." Chongyue readily displayed his elder brotherly demeanor, using his internal energy to protect the hidden photographers from the various Art Troupe, ensuring they wouldn't be injured by the Lion's Roar Technique.

"Brother Chongyue, I'm counting on you!" Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief. The power of Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar Technique had indeed startled Chen Qi. You must know that their equipment had been reinforced years ago, and the photographers had all been specially protected by Xi. If they encountered any insurmountable danger, they would be instantly transported into Xi's painting for refuge.

However, the Lion's Roar Technique of Madam Wen Yue's roar still startled Chen Qi and the others. Just now, a lot of nearby equipment was destroyed, and even several photographers had to go on vacation in Xi's painting.

However, filming did not stop, and Madam Wen Yue's voice echoed throughout the entire Rat Stronghold, and even half of Lungmen:

"Can't you give me a way out? Don't be so ruthless!"

For a moment, the storm swept through, causing the water to flow backwards, and this lasted for half a minute before the aftershocks gradually subsided.

At this moment, even Ah, who knew the script, was frightened by the power of the Lion's Roar Technique. He returned to the car in fear, but was quickly pushed away by Lee. Even the experienced Lee was shocked by the power of this move.

Only a few months? Madam Wen Yue's martial arts have already reached this level? That's impossible!

"There are more experts?"

The Rat King and the Emperor simultaneously abandoned the ancient zither with all its strings broken, and used their lightness skills to fly upwards at the same time, but they were soon brought back down.

At that moment, a figure silently landed behind them. It was Wei Yenwu, expressionless, with one hand on the Rat King's neck and the other foot on the Emperor's head, as if he were standing on a ball and holding onto a cane, thus intimidating the two of them.

But what shocked the people in the screening room even more was the silent landing of Wei Yenwu!

"Landed without a sound!" Even Huai Tianpei had never seen someone who could actually reach this level before. After a moment of surprise, his face lit up with a long-lost expression of great joy. Waai Fu, standing to the side, was also seeing his father's exaggerated smile for the first time.

"It is said that only masters with extremely profound internal strength, who have mastered the art of ultimate gentleness, can reach such a level!"

"Duke Wei's previous internal strength combined both hardness and softness, a perfect match for the Chixiao Swordsmanship —what he is now using must be a technique from Tai Chi!"

"Tai Chi... a style of boxing praised by Chongyue, and now we can finally glimpse a part of it!"

Not far away, besides the second brother watching this scene, Tai He, who was still acting, and Zuo Le, who was secretly watching from the other side, also remembered their duties, which was to see how far Wei Yenwu Madam Wen Yue had cultivated the two martial arts directed by Chen Qi.

They needed to accurately record the performance of these two martial arts and report it to the Emperor of Yan. Only then could the Emperor of Yan determine whether the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" could be released. After all, some Kung Fu Hustle could be performed for them, but some real Kung Fu Hustle were not something that could pique the curiosity of foreigners.

Even when cats teach tigers how to climb trees, they don't teach them. How much less should the Yan, now the tiger, be allowed to infiltrate Yan territory if cats are curious about its claws?

Now, Zuo Le and Tai He are here to gauge this level, but they also know that Director Chen Qi's expressiveness... will certainly not disappoint them and the Emperor of Yan!

Chapter 221: The Rat King and the Emperor: This couple is becoming increasingly unapproachable!

Wei Yenwu was now clearly aware that Zuo Le and Tai He, as well as "Sui" who was presumably observing from somewhere, were all watching his Wenyue's two martial arts. Whether they could protect Lungmen and their families from the spying of "Sui" who had wandered outside depended heavily on their performance.

Wei Yenwu didn't know what his younger brother was thinking, but what Wei Yenwu wanted to express was that he simply wanted to live a peaceful life in his own region, and no matter how capable he was, he had no intention of coveting the throne. Therefore, all he needed to do now was to be as sincere as possible and demonstrate the power of the Tai Chi he had learned from Chen Qi's secret manual.
