Huai Tianpei: Wei Yenwu, without Chixiao Swordsmanship, you couldn't beat me even with Wenyue helping!

As for the fawning Ah, Huai Tianpei was utterly disdainful. After looking around, he said, "You bunch of trash are not worthy of my attention."

He didn't intervene, and his first impression wasn't good either. Huai Tianpei's behavior made it hard not to think that he actually lacked the confidence to help. Even Brother Sum, played by Lee, couldn't help but start to doubt whether he had saved the wrong person.

Chen Qi, who had just joined the Axe Gang, naturally didn't want anyone to think it was his mistake, so he immediately went to Huai Tianpei and said with a helpless expression:

"Hey, Fire Cloud Evil God, show us a couple of moves and don't make things difficult for me."

"--Neuropathy."

Huai Tianpei's undisguised contempt made Chen Qi slightly embarrassed. He tentatively raised his fist and, facing the Fire Cloud Evil God, whom he knew was extremely dangerous, issued a threat that lacked any real conviction:

"Old man, what's this? A fist the size of a sandbag! Have you ever seen anything like it? Don't force me to fight! When I go berserk, even I'm afraid of myself!"

"Is that so? Make your move!"

As soon as Huai Tianpei finished speaking, Chen Qi also mustered all his strength and threw a punch! But just when almost everyone thought Chen Qi was going to hit Huai Tianpei, he quickly extended a finger and flicked Huai Tianpei on the head before fleeing!

As the camera panned, Chen Qi cautiously peeked out from behind a knife rack, still speaking with an air of superiority:

"How is he? Is he alright?"

"... What's this guy doing? He never forgets to be silly, no matter where he is."

Seeing this scene, Chen Huijie and her group, who had initially thought Chen Qi was about to make a move, all slapped their foreheads in dismay. Chen Huijie even made a comment that was both funny and exasperated, but the Rat King beside her overheard it completely.

"Don't forget, this kid witnessed the murderous aura of the Fire Cloud Evil God in the previous scene. Given his cultivation level in the movie, it would be strange if he dared to make a move after sensing all of this."

At this moment, although the Rat King also found Chen Qi's actions a bit comical, he could completely understand Chen Qi's character's mindset in the movie. To be honest, even the Rat King wouldn't dare to act rashly if he really felt the menacing aura of the movie's portrayal.

What he can be certain of now is that, regardless of Huai Tianpei's martial arts skills, at least in the movie, the Fire Cloud Evil God he plays is definitely the most terrifying martial artist who has fallen into the demonic path, and should not be underestimated.

Just as Chen Qi's actions amused even Huai Tianpei, a sudden punch startled everyone.

A member of the Axe Gang, dressed in a suit, fearlessly attacked Huai Tianpei first. This Axe Gang member, played by Big Bob from Chen Qi's production team, was a menacingly burly man in a suit, having removed his armor. He landed a solid punch on Huai Tianpei and continued to shout:

"Old man? You're really good at fighting, huh?!"

"... Push harder."

However, Huai Tianpei, who had been punched by a burly man like Big Bob, was not angry at all. Instead, he spoke as if he were an old man who had just arrived at a foot massage parlor and was very dissatisfied with the new massage girl.

Big Bob, being a straightforward man, immediately punched Huai Tianpei again, shattering his glasses, but still only said, "Harder."

Bang bang bang!

Another painful sound rang out, but at that moment Huai Tianpei looked up again, his eyes filled with pity, and said:

"You don't even have the strength to hit someone? And you call yourself a gangster?"

However, as Huai Tianpei spoke, blood had already begun to flow from his nose. This scene, however, caused even a master like the Rat King to frown deeply and say calmly:

"He didn't even use internal energy to protect himself; he relied entirely on his physical body to withstand the attack, and yet he remained unharmed."

"As expected of a young man. Even I, an old man, would feel bad after those punches if I didn't use my internal energy and Originium Arts..."

Even the Rat King, with his advanced internal strength, has to admit that he is getting old. His declining physical condition makes it almost impossible for him to fight head-on with young and strong people in a simple hand-to-hand combat, and he is likely to suffer a loss.

From Huai Tianpei's perspective, his physical condition had improved significantly during his many years of martial arts training, making it difficult for ordinary fist and foot Kung Fu Hustle to break through his defenses.

Big Bob was completely taken aback that Huai Tianpei was unharmed. He immediately pulled out a gun, but before he could aim it at Huai Tianpei, it was snatched away in an instant.

"Huh? Firearms?"

Big Bob looked at his palm in surprise, while the Axe Gang members around him immediately raised their semi-automatic crossbows and aimed them at Huai Tianpei, as if they would shoot arrows at him at the slightest movement.

All of this had no effect on Huai Tianpei. He glanced around and knew that if he didn't show his skills, these people's entanglement would not stop. In desperation, he made an inexplicable move.

After inspecting the ammunition and finding the only etched bullet, Huai Tianpei reversed the gun, pointed it at his own head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, much to everyone's astonishment!

"Don't want!"

"Bang!"

However, Waai Fu's exclamation and the sound of gunfire rang out at the same time, and before everyone could react and stop it, the gunshots had already been fired, but Huai Tianpei's body remained motionless.

While everyone was stunned for a moment, the smoke from the etched bullet fired by the gun slowly dissipated, and everyone saw that what Huai Tianpei was holding between his two fingers was the etched bullet that had been fired!

At this moment, the entire room was completely silent. Apart from Chongyue, Waai Fu, Chen Huijie, Talulah, the Rat King... even Chen Qi himself was stunned for a moment before muttering to himself:

"They actually... they can do that? The Terra are terrifying."

The scene of Fire Cloud Evil God catching a bullet with two fingers was so iconic that Chen Qi certainly wouldn't miss it. However, he initially only wanted to use his power to create a bullet that would move at a slow speed, but Huai Tianpei stopped him.

"Catch a bullet with your bare hands? Interesting, I've never tried that before."

"Director Chen Qi, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just select the etched bullets directly. I'd also like to try them out myself. After all, my fists are faster, but what if these Laterano firearms are even faster!"

"Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure I can handle. I can say this because I have a way to protect myself. Director Chen Qi, just follow my instructions!"

However, even so, Chen Qi didn't dare to actually use the etched bullet on Huai Tianpei. What if Huai Tianpei missed? Wouldn't that mean Waai Fu would lose his father? And then, when Waai Fu got married in the future, wouldn't the Lee be sitting on the pedestal?

Therefore, Chen Qi had Xi create an etched bullet that was drawn on the canvas. Even if it hit, the bullet would be directly transmitted into Xi's painting, thus preventing Huai Tianpei from being harmed.

But he never expected that Huai Tianpei would actually catch the bullet with his bare hands, relying solely on his physical strength and reflexes! This scene was undoubtedly captured by the chief photographer, the Executioner.

"This is absolutely a historic moment... the human body has actually triumphed over technology at this moment."

"This scene will probably be made into a behind-the-scenes clip, and then Eureka will release it, right? It'll definitely cause a stir!"

At the same time, Huai Tianpei, who caught the bullet, completely ignored everyone who was now dumbfounded. As the bullet slowly fell, Huai Tianpei finally uttered that golden martial arts saying, which was destined to have a sweeping impact on the martial arts practitioners of the Great Yan!

"Of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except speed!"

"Thud." The etched bullet slowly fell, and the bullet casing, which was pinched between Huai Tianpei's two fingers, was visibly twisted, enough to prove that Huai Tianpei caught the bullet with his bare hands!

With this scene and the guidance he's given, everyone knows that the future martial arts practitioners of the Great Yan Dynasty will be greatly changed by Huai Tianpei's line!

Speed will become the primary pursuit of martial artists in the future of Great Yan! And catching bullets with one's bare hands will become the best way for countless martial artists in Great Yan to prove their speed!

Chapter 227: Huai Tianpei: Wei Yenwu, even with Wenyue and the Chixiao Swordsmanship!

"Of all martial arts techniques in the world... none are invincible except speed."

"If this film can be widely popular in the Great Yan Dynasty, it could save countless martial arts practitioners from many detours... Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people like this who impart true Kung Fu Hustle and Istina of martial arts."

After Huai Tianpei uttered these words that were destined to become a famous saying in martial arts, Chongyue, who had come to the scene, couldn't help but sigh. His expression was a mixture of relief and melancholy. He never expected that such words of guidance for martial arts practitioners would only appear in Chen Qi's movies nowadays.

Although Chongyue spends most of his time in Jade Gate, he still makes a point of visiting the capital and surrounding martial arts schools when he makes his routine trips to the capital. However, to his disappointment, although the Great Yan still values martial arts, its martial arts are gradually declining.

Because of interpersonal relationships and the rules of the martial arts world, martial arts practitioners are afraid of teaching their apprentices and starving themselves, so they always keep one or two skills to themselves until they die. This has led to the gradual decline of martial arts passed down from generation to generation.

Young people can't learn real skills, and the elderly's physical condition declines, so they can't use their real skills... This cycle saddens Chongyue. But now, in Chen Qi's film, he can hear such guidance, which makes Chongyue feel gratified.

He knew very well that Chen Qi's film would inevitably cause a sensation in the Great Yan, and this film, which almost entirely used realistic martial arts effects, would be very popular among martial arts practitioners. Moreover, the philosophy of many masters in the film would be conveyed to everyone.

Adding to this unprecedented scene of catching a bullet with one's bare hands, it's likely that the concept of prioritizing "speed" in martial arts will continue to be passed down as long as "Kung Fu Hustle" remains unbanned!

Chongyue's guess was undoubtedly correct. There were many people practicing martial arts present, including Chen Huijie, Hoshiguma, Lin Yuxia, and Waai Fu. Although most of them were not martial arts specialists, after Huai Tianpei proved with facts that martial arts had reached its peak, each of them seemed to have gained some insights.

Originally, Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia focused on Originium Arts, using martial arts as a supplement. From this moment on, they began to concentrate on their martial arts training. Hoshiguma, Tai He, and Shang Zhong, who were originally martial artists but relied on their strength and racial advantages, also began to resolve to hone their speed abilities.

Of course, the one who was most moved was Waai Fu. Although she had the lowest martial arts skills among those present, her father's words were a long-awaited instruction on martial arts from him since his return.

Although... he was just reciting lines from Chen Qi's script, Waai Fu still took this instruction to heart—because she knew very well that if there was anything wrong with the guidance Chen Qi was conveying, given her father's personality, he would definitely oppose it vehemently, rather than obediently recite it.

Therefore, this instruction was a true essence of martial arts spoken only with the approval of Chen Qi, a martial arts "grandmaster," and his father! Waai Fu's own martial arts are based on "speed" and "precision strikes."

"Do Director Chen Qi and Dad both think that my focus on martial arts is correct? Then I will continue to cultivate on this path until one day I reach the same level as Dad!"

Feeling grateful for the recognition she received from Chen Qi and Huai Tianpei, Waai Fu gained more confidence in the martial arts path she had explored. However, witnessing this scene, her mind couldn't help but wander:

"I just hope that Director Chen Qi's shot won't cause resentment among the Sankta in the future. It wouldn't be good if martial artists started thinking they could catch bullets with their bare hands and then went to provoke the Sankta..."

No one paid attention to Waai Fu's mutterings anymore. During filming, accompanied by Huai Tianpei's "talent show" as the Fire Cloud Evil God, no one dared to look down on this slovenly-looking man anymore. Lee slowly stood up and addressed everyone:

"Fire Cloud Evil God, unparalleled in martial arts! All members of the Axe Gang salute the Evil God!"

As he spoke, Lee took the lead and bowed deeply to the Fire Cloud Evil God. At this moment, his unintentional swallowing motion was enough to show that although he seemed calm and collected, he was actually somewhat regretful about having someone invite the Fire Cloud Evil God.

Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult... Especially since this is an evil god. How could he possibly just finish his business and return to the mental hospital so easily?

At this moment, Huai Tianpei had no intention of wasting any more time here. He had already sensed the presence of Wei Yenwu and his wife not far away. Having finished reciting all his lines, he glanced at Lee and then headed straight in one direction.

The next moment, everyone saw Huai Tianpei suddenly raise one leg, almost to the point of doing a split, and before Swire, who was watching the show, could sense anything was wrong, he suddenly slammed his foot down!

"Boom!"

Almost instantly, as Huai Tianpei's foot landed, everyone present felt an intense pressure bearing down on them, and in front of Huai Tianpei, the wall was sliced open as if it had been struck by a giant sword!

The powerful and potent internal energy immediately destroyed the wall, even creating an explosion-like effect!

"My wall!"

However, at this moment, no one paid any attention to Swire's angry wails. Huai Tianpei Swire no longer contain his desire to fight. Ignoring all the extras who had fled because of the commotion, he leaped to the gambling table where Wei Yenwu and his wife were, and said excitedly:

"The unparalleled master is right here!"

"... It seems only the ultimate killer king of yesteryear, the Fire Cloud Evil God, possessed such a murderous aura."

Now, even Huai Tianpei Wei Yenwu Wenyue, they couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

After all, this was the first time the couple had fought Huai Tianpei in this way. Although Wei Yenwu could slightly defeat Huai Tianpei using only the Chixiao Swordsmanship, their chances of winning against Huai Tianpei were slim if they only used the moves from their movie.

"This kind of aura, could it be the one from the ' Divine Condor Heroes'— "

Yang Guo.

"Little Dragon Maiden."

"I've long admired your name!"

While the people of Terra wouldn't react much to the "Divine Condor Heroes" reference, its purpose here is simply to reveal the heroic identities of Wei Yenwu and his wife in the movie. The two showed no fear of the Fire Cloud Evil God's name, with Wei Yenwu even stating bluntly:

"We're here today to Axe Gang; it's none of anyone else's business."

"Hahahaha!" At that moment, Lee appeared arrogantly from behind the two of them, with Chen Qi closely following behind, staring at Wei Yenwu and his wife with a hint of infatuation. Lee then said mockingly:

"If you had killed me back then, none of this would have happened. Coming to settle scores now is just walking right into a trap."

"... Indeed, trying to teach martial virtue to someone who has no martial virtue is like trying to warm a snake with your own body; you can't expect such a person to change their ways."

The Brother Sum, played by Lee, made Waai Fu subconsciously frown. Fortunately, even though Huai Tianpei and Chongyue weren't around, the Rat King, a senior figure, offered timely guidance:

"Martial virtue is for self-discipline, my child. Uphold your martial virtue, and you will not degenerate into the very thing you hate most."

As soon as the Rat King finished speaking, in the movie, Madam Wen Yue also said to the arrogant Lee:

"I'll spare your dog's life for a couple more days, but don't be so arrogant—you're going to accept this big gift from me today!"

As she spoke, Wenyue pointed her thumb in a direction, and the ancient bell that had appeared on camera before suddenly appeared in front of the lens. A immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Sending off the clock (end)?"

"Hmph, with an evil god here today! Let's see who's going to be the one to die!"

"So you're going to be the first to stick your neck out, huh?" Wei Yenwu and his wife knew, of course, that Huai Tianpei was the real target, and Huai Tianpei was extremely cooperative. After a brief explanation, he said with a wicked smile:

"I just want to either kill you two—or be killed by you two."

"... Heh, wife, what do you think?" Wei Yenwu stared at Huai Tianpei in this state, and couldn't help but feel more vigilant. He couldn't help but worry about whether the "Sui" hidden in Lungmen had already possessed Huai Tianpei and what would happen next.

But we mustn't make a fuss now. If we act rashly and let him escape, it will be even harder to catch him next time. If Huai Tianpei is truly possessed now, then let this "Sui" be in the act, never to return!

Wenyue's awareness was also very high. Facing Huai Tianpei in front of her, she said, word by word:

"Good and evil have been irreconcilable since ancient times—if I don't go to hell, who will?"

As Wenyue spoke with unwavering determination, Chen Qi in the movie was momentarily stunned, as if those words had awakened a long-dormant dream within him, leaving him unable to fully savor the moment.

Not only Chen Qi, who was acting, but also Chongyue and others were deeply moved by Madam Wen Yue's "chivalrous spirit," revealing expressions of either relief or excitement.

Just as Huai Tianpei's attire didn't diminish his imposing presence, Wenyue and Wei Yenwu's words also concealed their un-heroic clothing. Sitting here now, no matter what they wore, everyone could tell they were true heroes!

"Since that's the case... come on."

"Okay." After receiving Wei Yenwu's permission, Huai Tianpei immediately showed a delighted expression, nodding and smiling, "Come on."

The silence lasted only a moment before it was Madam Wen Yue who broke it! She suddenly kicked out, breaking the gambling table in half, but Huai Tianpei caught it with his palm with ease.

However, Huai Tianpei was quickly kicked in the face by Wei Yenwu. But even with such force, Huai Tianpei remained unmoved, and said to Wei Yenwu and his wife, who had immediately distanced themselves after launching the attack, as if nothing had happened:

"Put some effort into it, I can manage."

Huai Tianpei's ability to withstand blows gave the couple a slight shock. They hadn't noticed it during the previous competition, but now that they saw it... if there were no weapons, and it was just a matter of internal strength and physical toughness, Huai Tianpei was not even weaker than some Mythical Race that were born with thick skin and tough flesh!

Even so, Wei Yenwu and his wife did not waver at all. Instead, they immediately began to spin in mid-air to gather their strength. Using the momentum, one of them punched with his left fist and the other with his right leg, both of which landed hard on Huai Tianpei's face, who was standing still.
