However, Huai Tianpei remained unmoved, and simply smiled:

"The power is enough, but the accuracy is a bit lacking."

Huai Tianpei remained unmoved, but this time, Wei Yenwu and his wife realized they had to make a move. Working together seamlessly, they immediately launched another attack, raising their fists and striking Huai Tianpei's face!

However, they did not know that in Huai Tianpei's eyes now, Wei Yenwu, who did not have the Chixiao Swordsmanship, and Madam Wen Yue, who, although she had practiced the Lion's Roar Technique, was still a halfway learner of martial Huai Tianpei, their movements were incredibly slow!

Facing the two attackers, Huai Tianpei began to unleash his true strength. Almost no one could see it clearly as Huai Tianpei suddenly threw a punch. There was a muffled thud, but Wei Yenwu Wenyue fell to the ground simultaneously!

Huai Tianpei was well aware that he held the absolute advantage in the current situation. Even if Wei Yenwu and his wife joined forces, there was nothing he couldn't handle. Just from their first meeting, he knew exactly how capable the two of them were.

"However... Madam Wen Yue is really not someone to be trifled with. In that case, let's be a little lenient with Officer Wei."

"Perfect timing! Let's take this opportunity to let Officer Wei hone his martial arts Kung Fu Hustle. With the Chixiao Swordsmanship alone, I'm no match for Officer Wei, but without Chixiao Swordsmanship — Officer Wei will be at my mercy."

Although Chen Qi didn't design any fixed moves in Huai Tianpei's script, as long as he and Wei Yenwu were in sync and planned to set a trap for his second brother, Huai Tianpei's action scenes this time were completely improvised.

Immediately after weighing the pros and cons, Huai Tianpei decided to give Wei Yenwu "special attention." He couldn't afford to offend Madam Wen Yue, and since Officer Wei basically listened to Madam Wen Yue, he probably wouldn't make things difficult for him.

And... Waai Fu hasn't taken the initiative to ask him to teach him internal energy yet, so let's take this opportunity to let Waai Fu see his father's strength and the importance of internal energy!

Chapter 228: The Lion's Roar Technique Reached Perfection! Madam Wen Yue Unleashes Her Power!

"Something's not right here! Why does it feel like Old Man Waai Fu is chasing after Officer Wei to beat them up?"

However, in the fight scene between Huai Tianpei and Wei Yenwu, Huai Tianpei showed an overwhelming advantage from the very beginning. Wei Yenwu, who was not allowed to use the Chixiao Swordsmanship, was not as strong as Huai Tianpei in terms of internal strength alone, and was brutally beaten in terms of fist and foot Kung Fu Hustle.

Wei Yenwu, who had mastered Tai Chi, could easily toy with the Rat King and the Emperor, but he was at a disadvantage when facing Huai Tianpei.

There was no way to deal with it. In terms of martial Kung Fu Hustle alone, Huai Tianpei lived up to his previous statement that "in the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken." Although Wei Yenwu could see Huai Tianpei's movements clearly, his fists and feet were not enough to deal with them in time, and he did not have time to neutralize the force like he did when dealing with the Emperor and the Rat King.

Moreover, Huai Tianpei's punches and kicks were not only fast, but also accurate and ruthless! Even with the Chi Xiao in his hand, Wei Yenwu did not dare to compete with Huai Tianpei in strength, but instead used sword energy and Originium Arts to force him back. One can imagine how strong Huai Tianpei was.

The principle of using softness to overcome hardness is correct, but there is also a saying that "one force can overcome ten skills," which is exactly the situation Huai Tianpei is in with Wei Yenwu now.

Having overwhelmed Wei Yenwu in strength, Huai Tianpei also displayed complete confidence in his internal energy. At this moment, in the shot, behind Huai Tianpei, Madam Wen Yue immediately activated her internal energy, causing her loose kimono to swell with a curve that would make any other woman present feel inferior.

"Roar!!"

Madam Wen Yue unleashed her Lion's Roar Technique once more, but this time Chongyue, who was prepared, used his power in time to protect the innocent members of the Art Troupe and the equipment. In addition, Nian used his power to create armor for the entire film crew to deal with internal energy attacks. This time, Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar Technique failed to cause panic among the crew.

But what most people didn't expect was that Huai Tianpei, without any equipment, actually only took a few steps back and withstood the Lion's Roar Technique, which had ruined the entire film set and even thrown Wei Yenwu against the wall!

"Lion's Roar Technique! Hahahaha!!"

Having personally experienced the power of the Lion's Roar Technique, Huai Tianpei, whose internal energy had long been shaken, was overjoyed. Undoubtedly, this scene was enough to shock everyone who had witnessed the power of the Lion's Roar Technique.

Especially the Rat King and the Emperor, who had personally experienced the power of Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar Technique. Although the two of them were caught off guard, it was not that they couldn't defend against it, but it was still very difficult to achieve a reaction like Huai Tianpei's.

"That makes sense. Huai the Martial Arts Fanatic has been stationed in Jade Gate all these years, where the Yan's elite troops reside. I imagine Huai Tianpei has already fought against almost everyone in Jade Gate."

The Rat King, though somewhat shocked by what he saw, was not surprised. He explained to the dumbfounded Chen Huijie and her group:

"The person that Huai the Martial Arts Fanatic has wanted to surpass for so many years is Chongyue... Apart from him and Chongyue, there has never been anyone so persistent and pure in the field of 'martial arts'."

"He relied entirely on his self-honed martial arts and internal energy. Compared to us, he lacked the most crucial element: Originium Arts. And if neither Wei Yenwu nor I possessed Originium Arts, who dares to say we could defeat that Huai the Martial Arts Fanatic?"

"... Dad, does that mean if Officer Wei Madam Wen Yue don't Originium Arts, it will be the same as what's happening in the filming now?"

Lin Yuxia's words were met with a silent nod from the Rat King, and now everyone was watching Huai Tianpei's "ultimate martial arts" performance with unwavering focus.

Its destructive power is in no way inferior to any powerful Originium Arts. In fact, some sorcerers might not even be able to unleash their Originium Arts before being killed by Huai Tianpei. Since even the Lion's Roar Technique couldn't shake him, it's likely that apart from the Rat King and Wei Yenwu, no one else could harm Huai Tianpei even if Originium Arts.

"Oh dear, look! Madam Wen Yue is making another move!"

Just then, Waai Fu's words brought everyone back to their senses. Then, they saw on the screen in the projection room that Madam Wen Yue, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, had turned her body toward the ancient bell she had brought!

"Boom!" As Madam Wen Yue's palms struck down, the ancient bell emitted a heavy rumble. At that moment, everyone's heart trembled, and Swire felt a sense of foreboding!

Even the second brother, who was secretly observing the fight scene, was startled by the sound and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Seeing this scene, Huai Tianpei, though still unsure of Wenyue's intentions, subconsciously felt he couldn't let her unleash Wenyue full potential. Already caught up in the fight, he forgot his initial intention to take care of Wei Yenwu and began attacking Madam Wen Yue!

In this desperate situation, Madam Wen Yue continued to attack the ancient bell while dealing with Huai Tianpei, preferring to be hit by Huai Tianpei rather than give up on the bell.

Fortunately, Wei Yenwu arrived in time and held off Huai Tianpei, giving Wenyue a chance to turn the tide!

"Ah!"

With a sharp shout from Wenyue, the lip of the ancient bell was slammed down by Wenyue. At that moment, Huai Tianpei also knocked Wei Yenwu away again, which in turn helped Wei Yenwu assist Wenyue in lifting the ancient bell!

Huai Tianpei's joy hadn't lasted long when his smile froze as he faced the ancient bell pointing directly at him, and through the bell, Wenyue's serious yet slightly angry face.

"Call--"

Sure enough, just as everyone was realizing what Madam Wen Yue was about to do, they heard her take another deep breath, and her wide kimono swelled up once more before her familiar Lion's Roar Technique resounded once more!

"Roar! Aa..."

This time, with the help of the ancient bell, the Lion's Roar Technique was dozens of times more powerful than before! Huai Tianpei got into position almost immediately. Unable to interrupt in time, he could only use all his internal energy to defend himself!

What Huai Tianpei didn't notice was that another layer of internal energy had suddenly appeared outside of his own! This was Chongyue's protection for Huai Tianpei, to prevent any accidents; Chen Qi had specifically instructed Chongyue to do it.

Even that wasn't enough. In addition to the internal energy, a layer of milky white powder began to slowly condense— Saria's Calcification was doing its best to protect all the filming personnel and equipment on site, and also doing its best to protect Huai Tianpei!

Even so, with the perfect compatibility between Madam Wen Yue and the ancient bell, the power of the Lion's Roar Technique was increased by dozens of times! At this moment, the power of Madam Wen Yue's Lion's Roar Technique was enough to reach the "Great Perfection" realm!

"Roar!!"

Just as the Lion's Roar Technique seemed to be about to be fully unleashed, suddenly, an extremely powerful sound wave, resembling a lion's roar, surged towards Huai Tianpei at the very center!

"Ughhhhhh--!"

At this moment, under the full force of the Lion's Roar, Saria's Calcification, Chongyue's internal energy, and Huai Tianpei's own internal energy were all shattered by the Lion's Roar! Huai Tianpei was blown away by the sound waves, as if he were swept away by a whirlwind!

Suddenly, Chen Huijie and her group in the screening room outside the film set heard a loud bang. They saw that all the glass and doors of the entire building next to them had been smashed open!

Everyone could see a thick cloud of smoke and dust, accompanied by sound waves, lingering around the destroyed building. The echoes reverberated for nearly a minute before the dust settled, revealing the building's full appearance.

At this moment, apart from the load-bearing walls that are still stubbornly holding on, the building of the film set is no longer recognizable as it once was... Anyone who sees it would think that it has been abandoned for decades, and many houses in the slums are more suitable for living than this building.

However, those who didn't witness this scene would never have imagined that just an hour ago, this was a casino that had been renovated and used for filming, and that a single "Lion's Roar Technique" had turned it into a truly dilapidated building...

At that moment, Swire dropped open, and she didn't even feel sorry for her family's business anymore. After what seemed like an eternity, she swallowed hard and asked Chen Huijie Swire her:

"... Incompetent Dragon, do you think that if my race practiced the Lion's Roar Technique, could it achieve half the effect of Madam Wen Yue?"

"I think even if we studied until we died, we might not be able to roar with the same effect Madam Wen Yue even once, right?" Even Hoshiguma swallowed nervously. She had no doubt that even if she and Old Chen joined forces, they would immediately lose their fighting ability in the face of such destructive Kung Fu Hustle. As for whether they would die, it would depend on whether their racial advantages could make up for it.

"Never offend Madam Wen Yue in this lifetime... It's better to completely offend Officer Wei than to anger her."

As Hoshiguma muttered to himself with lingering fear, Chen Huijie, Swire, and the others quickly nodded in agreement. Even veteran experts like the Rat King and the Emperor silently nodded in approval.

"--Wait a minute! After that shout, is there anyone still alive in the room?! Shouldn't we call an ambulance right away?!"

"Don't worry."

Just then, Chongyue used his lightness skill to leap from the ruins. He appeared as calm and collected as ever, his expression returning to normal as he addressed the audience in the screening room:

"Miss Saria and I managed to protect everyone in time. The aftershocks of the Lion's Roar Technique didn't harm anyone, only Brother Huai, who was directly facing the Lion's Roar Technique... was a little disheveled."

"Don't worry, Brother Huai didn't suffer any internal injuries, he just looks disheveled. Fortunately, Director Chen Qi had already informed Ms. Saria and me, otherwise, with Madam Wen Yue's move... Brother Huai might have been in danger."

Chongyue also spoke to Waai Fu, who was standing nervously to the side, trying to calm the child down. However, although Chongyue appeared calm and collected, he himself was actually quite startled.

Chongyue couldn't remember how many years it had been since his internal energy had been directly breached. Even though he had taken this enhanced "Lion's Roar Technique" technique very seriously, its power still startled Chongyue.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Chongyue were to face Madam Wen Yue's attack, he would almost certainly be injured. Madam Wen Yue's attack is comparable to the blow of a Feranmut!

"Is this how Director Chen Qi expresses the power of his Feranmut through martial arts techniques?... It's truly terrifying." Chongyue couldn't help but think to himself:

"And these are not even Director Chen Qi's true special skills. Just how powerful must the 'Buddha's Palm' be?"

Thinking of this, even Chongyue couldn't help but feel a little itchy to try his hand at it. He was now starting to envy Huai Tianpei, who could actually experience the power of the Buddha's Palm in the future.

"However, my second brother's aura has not subsided, and if the power of the 'Lion's Roar Technique' had truly struck him, he would not have been able to withstand it in his current state."

"So that means he didn't possess Huai Tianpei's body? Is he still waiting for the right opportunity?"

However, Chongyue's guess was correct. His second brother was indeed not possessing Huai Tianpei's body. He himself was also glad that he was not possessing Huai Tianpei's body. Otherwise, just as Chongyue said, this "Lion's Roar Technique" would definitely shatter his remnant soul and might even damage his original body!

"It has such power?! Just who is this Chen Qi?! He actually handed over such a martial arts manual to the Great Yan? Does he really think the Great Yan wouldn't use this move against him?"

The remnant soul of the second brother quickly drifted away and hid in a secluded place. Now, his dark figure couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood—he was quite close to the scene at the time, and the aftershock of the Lion's Roar Technique directly injured his remnant soul, almost destroying him.

"But at least now they all suspect that I possessed Huai Tianpei, and after this, they will realize that I haven't actually disappeared... They would never have imagined that I would possess him so silently at this time, choosing Huai Tianpei's weakest state!"

"My brother would never have imagined that someone as 'prudent' as me would dare to choose to possess someone who can't even protect himself in the short term, right? At that time, I can wait until Huai Tianpei and Chen Qi fight..."

The second brother's face still held a confident smile of complete control. Having witnessed the Lion's Roar Technique, he now knew what the Lungmen's greatest weapon against him was. But unfortunately, he would no longer suffer from that attack.

Huai Tianpei was injured by this move and would definitely need to recuperate. They would never use this move on Huai Tianpei, as that would be fatal. Therefore, the weakest Huai Tianpei is now his safest refuge.

He was getting closer and closer to the power he had always dreamed of, the power of Chen Qi!

Chapter 229: The Astounding Power of the Lion's Roar Technique, the True Nature of the Fire Cloud Evil God

Cough cough cough!

"Everyone? Are you all alright? Aunt... Saria... the Executioner, is everyone alright?"

After coughing for a while, Chen Qi slowly stood up. He had anticipated the immense power of Madam Wen Yue 'Chen Qi Lion's Roar Technique, so he had Lee and the others retreat far away when filming began. This would reduce the number of people that Saria and Chongyue needed to protect, thus lessening their pressure.

Chen Qi didn't need to worry about the arrangements for the photography crew. After all, besides Chongyue and Saria's protection, he also had "Xi" as his final line of defense. Once the protection of the photography crew was broken, they would immediately travel into Xi's painting to avoid any danger.

In addition, the film crew only encountered the aftershocks, which were much less powerful. With layers of protection, although it seemed dangerous, the film crew would not actually be injured at all, but they were quite likely to be frightened.

"Twenty people were teleported into my scroll. Even if all the equipment is destroyed, there should still be seventeen devices capturing this scene, which should be enough."

Xi was also beside Chen Qi, brushing away the dust around them. At that moment, not far away, several figures slowly approached. It was the photography team led by the Executioner and Mephisto.

Before Chen Qi could even greet him, the Executioner, collapsed to his knees upon seeing Chen Qi. Fortunately, Chen Qi caught him in time, and the Executioner, trembling and with a sob in his voice, said to Chen Qi:

"Chen Qi... please, please don't make these kinds of martial arts films again... even if you have to, please don't go for realistic Kung Fu Hustle, it scares me..."

"I almost thought I was going to die... Are all the Yan a monster? Are they some kind of human natural Catastrophe? I don't want to act in movies with these people, waaaaaah..."

However, as the main person in charge of the photography team and the chief cinematographer of the crew, the Executioner's reaction this time was very normal. She could be said to be the cinematographer who came closest to a direct confrontation with the Lion's Roar Technique in the entire crew. If it weren't for her desperate use of Originium Arts to escape, and the protection of Chongyue and Saria, she probably would have been traveling in the painting of Xi.

But for the Executioner, it would have been better to travel through the painting. After "escaping" from the corner, she also witnessed the devastating blow that resembled Catastrophe, almost giving her psychological trauma.

Chen Qi understood that the Executioner was under immense pressure, so he patted Executioner on the shoulder to comfort her. He then asked Saria and the others to take the Executioner back to calm down and regain her composure... especially since Chen Qi felt the Executioner's pants seemed to be wet...

After Chen Qi comforted every member of the Art Troupe in the same manner, Wei Yenwu, Wenyue, and Huai Tianpei slowly walked over, all three of them looking somewhat disheveled.

"Aunt, are you alright?" Chen Qi hadn't expected Wenyue to actually unleash Lion's Roar Technique at the Great Perfection level, and immediately asked with concern:

"Thankfully... it was just that last blow; I felt a jolt from it. Your uncle checked me over, and I'm not injured."

Wenyue also felt a little dazed, and her throat felt very dry. But looking around at everything she had caused, she was belatedly surprised... Could this really have been accomplished by her own power?

"Now, I'm afraid you'll be replacing one of the top five experts in the Great Yan, Wenyue." Wei Yenwu smiled slightly. Although his eardrums were also hurting from the shock, he was in a very good mood. The ruins around him were caused by the power of his beloved woman, and he, as her husband, was proud of her.

Clearly, Wei Yenwu hadn't expected that Madam Wen Yue now possessed such a powerful move, and that she might imitate it on him in the future... Of course, this megaphone move was obviously not going to be used on Wei Yenwu, but even a simple Lion's Roar Technique was a weapon of mass destruction.

Wei Yenwu had no idea what tragic fate awaited him in the future, but he simply said to Chen Qi:

"Kid, you have to write this all down. Send it to my younger brother later so he can see how valiant his sister-in-law is. He'll think I'm so lucky to have married such a wonderful woman."

"Yes, yes, yes... but I don't think His Majesty the Emperor would envy you." Chen Qi nodded awkwardly, then turned his gaze to Huai Tianpei, who looked rather disheveled, and couldn't help but ask:

"Master Huai, can you still hold on? We can pause filming and take you to the hospital for treatment."

"--It's nothing serious, just a minor injury. You can get it treated after filming is finished."

Huai Tianpei was bleeding profusely from his head, his already shabby clothes were now completely torn to shreds, and his body hair was disheveled from the shock.

However, these were merely superficial injuries to Huai Tianpei. As long as he didn't suffer internal injuries or broken bones, they wouldn't affect his ability to exert his power or fight. Huai Tianpei bowed to Chen Qi and said:

"Many thanks to Director Chen Qi for making this possible, allowing me to witness the most advanced internal martial arts of the Great Yan! This move has broadened my horizons and given me much to reflect upon!"

"Whatever makes you happy."

Looking at Chen Qi Huai Tianpei, who didn't blame him even though he was bleeding from his head and even thanked him, Chen Qi realized how difficult the other party was to deal with.

"Well, since everyone is okay with it, let's continue filming. I'll have the second group take over. I'll have to trouble you all for now."

Half an hour has passed, and everyone in the screening room is still talking about what just happened. Talulah also told everyone in the screening room that there were no casualties, which relieved Chen Huijie and the others.

At that moment, the large screen in the screening room lit up again, immediately attracting everyone's attention once more.

"Isn't this over yet?! These people are really reckless when they're filming!" Swire also startled and immediately voiced her thoughts. Back in the projection room, Chongyue laughed and said:
