Second Brother: I've got a huge advantage this round-I pulled an SSR / The final fight: emerging from the cocoon, Chen Qi goes all out

"This is the dedication to a field... Director Chen Qi must have consulted with Duke Wei and the others before restarting filming, which is enough to show that everyone is alright."

As soon as Chongyue finished speaking, the big screen started playing again. This time, everyone saw Huai Tianpei's Lion's Roar Technique appearance, completely powerless against the Lion's Roar. He struggled to get up with great difficulty, but still couldn't stop blood from flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Many people were seeing Huai Tianpei in such a disheveled state for the first time. But soon, Wenyue and Wei Yenwu, holding the ancient bell, reappeared in front of Huai Tianpei. Wenyue took another deep breath, preparing to deliver a fatal blow!

"--etc!"

Just then, Huai Tianpei spoke. With great difficulty, he raised his head and addressed Wei Yenwu and his wife, his voice humble and weak:

"I never imagined the Lion's Roar Technique... also had a trumpet-like attack. I utterly admit defeat!"

As soon as Huai Tianpei finished speaking, he also adopted a humble demeanor. Wenyue hardly thought about it. Seeing Huai Tianpei take the initiative to admit defeat, Wenyue, as a martial arts master from a prestigious sect, immediately put down the ancient bell in her hand.

"Bang!"

However, just as the ancient bell rang, Huai Tianpei suddenly launched an attack, pulling out two bronze weapons from who-knows-where and thrusting them fiercely at Wei Yenwu Wenyue!

"Hidden weapon!" Waai Fu shouted instinctively, and everyone's relaxed nerves, which had been so confident of victory, tensed up again.

Wei Yenwu Wenyue immediately seized Huai Tianpei's hidden weapon. With a twist of Huai Tianpei's hand, the bronze weapon suddenly burst open, shooting out a bronze needle, which the two of them caught with their teeth.

However, Huai Tianpei seized the moment when the two were distracted, and suddenly pulled out a hidden weapon that had bloomed like a lotus flower, and thrust it fiercely towards Wei Yenwu Wenyue's dantian!

"Pfft!" The two were stabbed solidly, but they still held onto Huai Tianpei's hand tightly, quickly binding him, trying to kill him in the most primal way.

"Shameless!" Chen Huijie, also filled with chivalry, cursed Huai Tianpei on the screen. He was furious at Huai Tianpei's despicable behavior and said:

"They begged for mercy, and you still resorted to underhanded tactics! * Lungmen vulgarity *!"

"... Calm down, Miss Chen. This wasn't done by Brother Huai; it's the style of the Fire Cloud Evil God from the movies."

Chongyue said the same thing, but even so, Chongyue frowned deeply. He found the Fire Cloud Evil God's behavior in the movie extremely despicable, and even had a momentary urge to kill him, but he managed to control himself.

"Fire Cloud Evil God... that makes sense. He's an assassin, not a pure martial artist. In that sense, I understand why no one has ever defeated him."

Because all those who defeated him were ambushed by the Fire Cloud Evil God using such a move. A blow to the dantian would render a martial artist completely unable to circulate internal energy. Even if they could recover in the future, their power would be greatly diminished. It can be said to be an extremely insidious move.

At this moment, Lee and A returned to the camera's view. Lee immediately grabbed a broken piece of wood, looked at the three bound together, and hesitated before saying, "They seem unable to move?"

"Absolutely! Take advantage of his weakness and kill him!" Ah Zai said at this moment, and Lee immediately handed him the broken piece of wood, tentatively asking, "You?"

However, Ah only glanced at the broken log, and his expression immediately changed drastically as he knelt down and said:

"Ugh—I feel like throwing up, I need to see a doctor!"

"Eat shit!"

Lee kicked the useless Ah away with one kick, and at this moment, facing Chen Qi who had just gotten up, Lee handed him the broken wood, and gestured to the three people who were now tied together. "Kill him."

"--good."

The protagonist, played by Chen Qi, didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the broken piece of wood and slowly approached it. However, he didn't immediately make a move when faced with the angry stares of Wei Yenwu Wenyue.

"Let's start," Lee urged from the side, and Chen Qi immediately replied, "Of course."

"Shoot him over the head!" "Okay."

"To make a name for yourself!" "Come on!"

"Hit him!" "Hit him!"

"Beat his mother!" "Go ahead and hit him!"

However, no matter how much Lee urged him, Chen Qi did not rush to make a move. His eyes were somewhat vacant, and everyone could see the struggle in his trembling eyes.

"Beat his mother!"

Finally, Lee shoved Chen Qi, and that shove caused a glint to appear in Chen Qi's eyes. He instinctively turned and hit Lee with his stick.

Lee, who had just been hit, looked at Chen Qi in a daze and asked with a puzzled expression, "... What are you doing?"

"--Do you want me to hit him, or his mother?"

You've confused me so much!

Chen Qi roared out these words almost like a scream, and then slammed the club hard into the Lee's head again.

Amidst the Lee's agonizing howls as it clutched its head, Chen Qi, in a daze, stared at the Lee he had knocked over. At that moment, everyone noticed that the light in Chen Qi's eyes had returned.

At that moment, he understood—bad guys also bleed, he didn't really need to be a bad guy, heroes really exist, and bad guys can get hurt too!

Having figured this out, Chen Qi didn't hesitate at all. He turned his head, raised the broken piece of wood in his hand, and smashed it hard against Huai Tianpei's head wound!

"Good!"

At this moment, the one who shouted was none other than Chongyue. He was initially displeased by the sneak attack by Huai Tianpei Fire Cloud Evil God, but after seeing the protagonist, played by Chen Qi, realize his mistake, he couldn't help but cheer.

"Pull back from the brink, turn back before it's too late... If I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Good, good! Director Chen Qi has taught everyone the right path of martial arts!"

Chongyue had initially worried that Chen Qi's film's immense influence might cause the Great Yan Emperor to have reservations, feeling that he was encouraging "using martial arts to break the law." But now he could rest assured; the film "Kung Fu Hustle" guided everyone towards the virtue of martial arts, promoting goodness.

"Martial virtue" does not mean that martial arts come first and then virtue. Martial arts skills are merely an embellishment of virtue. As long as a person is virtuous, even if he does not practice martial arts, his inclination to do good is still undeniable.

Chapter 230: Second Brother: I had a huge advantage this time, I drew an SSR!

In the movie, Chen Qi, who had gone astray, was immediately influenced by the chivalry of Wei Yenwu and his wife and made a new choice to turn to good. With Huai Tianpei and Wei Yenwu and his wife restraining each other, Chen Qi chose to smash the broken wood against the wound on the head of the Fire Cloud Evil God played by Huai Tianpei.

Normally, Chen Qi's attack would have been easily blocked by a master, but in the current weakened state of both parties, Chen Qi's solid strike successfully broke through Huai Tianpei's defenses.

Not only physically, but also mentally. For a master like Fire Cloud Evil God to have his defenses breached by a mere lackey when he was weakened was unacceptable—he was always the one ambushing others, and today he was the one being ambushed?

Chen Qi paid the price for this. Feeling humiliated, the Fire Cloud Evil God, after shaking off Wei Yenwu and his wife, punched the protagonist played by Chen Qi so hard that his head was smashed into the ground.

It literally pierced the ground; the floorboards were blasted into a huge crater by Huai Tianpei's immense force, leaving no doubt that such a punch would have blown an ordinary person's head off.

However, Huai Tianpei's punch did not kill Chen Qi. When Huai Tianpei asked Chen Qi through gritted teeth, "Why did you hit me?" Chen Qi still responded.

His fingers slowly gripped the last small piece of broken wood, and in front of Huai Tianpei, he raised his trembling arm again and struck Huai Tianpei.

This pitiful blow was like a martyr who, powerless to retaliate against a detestable enemy, still managed to splatter blood all over the opponent. There was no harm done, but it was tragic and heroic, a testament to the unwavering resolve of one's stance.

In the movie, Chen Qi's actions once again enraged the Fire Cloud Evil God, causing Chen Qi to suffer several more heavy blows. However, in the end, he was rescued by Wei Yenwu and his wife while Huai Tianpei was distracted.

"Where are they?! Where did they go?!" Lee stood up, clutching his head. Chen Qi and the others had already disappeared from the scene. Facing Huai Tianpei, who had regained his senses but was still furious, Lee, blinded by anger, immediately set a bad example and actually yelled at Huai Tianpei:

"Are you kidding me?! They actually got away!"

"Bang--"

However, in the end, Lee, being an ordinary person, provoked the wrong person. He wasn't Chen Qi, who was exceptionally talented in the movie and had martial arts skills as a child. As a result, he was punched by the enraged Huai Tianpei, and his head spun around three and a half times.

"Luckily, I used the doll I drew here... otherwise, I might have really been beaten to death by Huai the Martial Arts Fanatic, and that's no joke."

Looking back at this scene again, Lee still felt a lingering fear. Huai Tianpei really didn't hold back with that punch. He didn't know if it was because he was angry just looking at Huai Tianpei's face, or simply because he wasn't afraid to kill the dummy he was hitting...

Filming has temporarily come to an end. Today's shooting has been extremely exhausting for everyone. The three main actors, Wei Yenwu Wenyue, and Huai Tianpei, have all suffered some injuries and are weakened from overusing their internal energy. They need time to recuperate.

Huai Tianpei, who was bleeding from his head, needed half a month to recover. However, he did not choose to go to the hospital. Instead, he planned to return to his residence in Lungmen. After saying goodbye to Chen Qi and his group, Huai Tianpei went home alone.

Throughout the journey, Huai Tianpei's expression held a lingering excitement, but also a hint of frustration. This was because he had tried his best, but Waai Fu still showed no interest in learning martial arts from him.

"How pitiful! You have so many skills but have no opportunity to use them, not even a chance to show them off in front of your daughter. Do you really think you've given it your all?"

However, just as Huai Tianpei returned home and was about to use his internal energy to heal his injuries, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

Huai Tianpei turned his head and found that, at some point, there was a figure sitting in the living room of his residence that looked exactly like him. However, although the appearance was the same, the expression and posture were completely different.

Huai Tianpei frowned as he stared at the person in front of him who exuded a murderous aura, and immediately asked, "Who are you? Could you be that 'Sui'?"

"--That's what they call me, but now, I can say I'm another side of you."

The second brother, having taken on the form of Huai Tianpei, naturally glimpsed Huai Tianpei's inner thoughts. Before him lay a chessboard; holding a black piece, he slowly placed a move before speaking to Huai Tianpei:

"I can see into your mind, Huai Tianpei. Tell me, are you truly no match for Wei Yenwu and his wife? Are you truly unable to defeat Chongyue?"

"My skills are inferior, so I have nothing to say." Huai Tianpei frowned and replied coldly, while his second brother scoffed, saying:

"It's just to cooperate with that brat Chen Qi's filming, and you yourself are using that martial virtue to bind yourself."

"It's alright to tell you, your daughter and the Rat King's daughter both want to learn martial arts from Chen Qi, and would rather not seek out their own father. Do you know why?"

"--Because you are both losers. Your performance in the movie was designed. If it were a real one-on-one fight where you fought freely and your daughter saw your strength as her father, why would she still seek out Chen Qi to learn martial arts?"

"You're just restricting yourself, preventing yourself from truly giving it your all. You still have martial arts skills you've never used, haven't you?"

At this point, the second brother's tone suddenly turned somewhat sinister, and Huai Tianpei immediately understood, his brows furrowing deeply as he coldly asked, "You mean those evil martial arts techniques?"

"Don't put it so harshly. Martial arts are martial arts. Whether they turn evil or not depends entirely on who uses them." The second brother asked with a smile. Having seen into Huai Tianpei's heart, he naturally understood Huai Tianpei's life.

However, Huai Tianpei held this in utter contempt, because these martial arts were not what he wanted to learn. During his years of travel, he had indeed killed many martial arts practitioners who had gone astray, and he had experienced their moves firsthand. In the process of fighting them, he had inexplicably learned them.

But even though he learned them, Huai Tianpei never used them. Instead, he constantly devised methods and moves to counter these martial arts and find their weaknesses. Now, the evil martial arts that his second brother mentioned are indeed more insidious and effective than most of the martial arts Huai Tianpei practiced, purely in terms of lethality. Every move is a killing technique!

"If you go all out, how could you possibly lose to Wei Yenwu Wenyue? Even my elder brother would probably suffer a blow or two at your hands, wouldn't he?"

"Even without those martial arts skills, I can still defeat him in one move!" Huai Tianpei clearly didn't want to talk anymore. His second brother's words had touched his principles, so he immediately threw a punch at his second brother!

Although Huai Tianpei was injured, his internal strength remained formidable. Under the powerful force of his punch, his second brother's figure vanished in an instant, turning into a black shadow. However, a voice still lingered in Huai Tianpei's ear:

"I am your inner demon; you cannot escape me, for I am the darkness within your heart."

Huai Tianpei naturally couldn't hurt his second brother. After all, a martial art like "Lion's Roar Technique" that was particularly effective against demons was a first for the Great Yan. Otherwise, if the Great Yan had such a good martial art, it would have used it to deal with Demons long ago.

Without this special internal energy technique, it would be useless to the second brother. He seemed to have disappeared, but in reality, he had already possessed Huai Tianpei's body and was lurking silently.

In a daze, Huai Tianpei seemed to have forgotten what had happened here. He stared at the living room, which had been turned into a mess by his own punch, but couldn't remember why he had thrown the punch.

"Then let me revisit for you those so-called 'evil' martial arts techniques."

The second brother's "power" is indeed useful. Once his black magic strikes, almost no one can detect his possession. Everyone who is possessed will think that they are still themselves, only slightly more obsessive in some choices.

However, this also meant that the second brother couldn't directly control a person's mind; he could only guide them to do things. Fortunately, his guidance was silent and subtle, achieving results no different from manipulation, and he never failed.

Unless the person being manipulated becomes aware of it or resolves the "mental knot" that the manipulator is trying to untie, it is impossible to break free from the possession.

But at least, the second brother felt that the inner turmoil of someone like Huai Tianpei, who was "obsessed with martial arts," was not so easy to resolve. What he needed to work on was the "inner demon" hidden in Huai Tianpei's heart—his ultimate pursuit of martial arts!

"This inner demon, you've clung to it your whole life, carried it through your entire life. As long as you amplify your emotions, you'll be no different from being possessed by a demon."

"Then, in order to witness the strongest martial arts, you will stop at nothing. Let me ignite that determination in you."

"It seems my second brother will inevitably come looking for Brother Huai at this time."

"It's just a pity for Brother Huai... In order to prevent my second brother from discovering the trap we're setting for him, this plan has to be kept secret from you."

While the second brother successfully possessed Huai Tianpei, Chen Qi and Chongyue were discussing how to deal with him at the Wei Manor. The second brother's behavior had been thoroughly understood, and everyone knew what his next move would be.

However, even if they knew, it would be difficult to defend against, because the Huai Tianpei possessed by the second brother was too special. He was powerful but had no means to prevent being possessed. If the second brother really "guided" Huai Tianpei to resist, even if everyone joined forces, it would be difficult to stop this black piece of a second brother. If he wanted to escape, the Huai Tianpei possessed by him was definitely powerful enough to do so.

"It will probably be difficult for Wenyue to fully recover in half a month. Forcing her to use the Lion's Roar Technique again might damage her fundamental health." Wei Yenwu nodded, looking quite troubled.

"The Chixiao Swordsmanship is feasible, but it would inevitably injure Huai Tianpei... Kid, you said you have a better way, right?"

"Of course." Chen Qi nodded, and under the gaze of the three "Sui" men, as well as Wei Yenwu and his wife, Chen Qi answered with considerable confidence:

"He wants to possess me? Let him try. If he dares to show even a glimpse of himself in this final fight, I will absolutely suppress him."

"... I'm afraid my second brother is being extremely cautious and will definitely beat you until you're powerless before possessing you." Xi voiced her concerns at this moment, but Chen Qi's confident demeanor, she smiled calmly.

"But it seems you're very confident in your Buddha's Palm; you're sure you can force Second Brother out."

"Moreover, Chongyue also said that Second Brother's ability is to seize a person's inner demons and guide them. If a normal person wants to resist, it is impossible for Second Brother to break free of the possession on his own. Only by resolving the inner demons can he break free."

Chen Qi also learned about his second brother's abilities in detail from Chongyue, and now he had an idea in his mind, an opportunity to seize the last scene and solve two problems.

"To dispel Brother Huai's inner demons? This is not something that can be done with martial arts." Chongyue Chen Qi's meaning. He knew that Chen Qi must also understand this, but he still pinned his hopes on the final martial arts battle, so he must be confident.

Buddha's Palm. What is Tathagata? Chongyue had been pondering this question for some time. He knew the names of many Feranmut, but none of Feranmut were called this... He vaguely felt that the name "Tathagata" was not just a name, but something symbolic.

Now, Chongyue only hopes to find the answer to this question in the final martial arts battle, while Huai Tianpei... might be able to gain a deeper understanding of martial arts during this opportunity.

Chapter 231: The Final Martial Arts Battle, Metamorphosis, Chen Qi's All-Out Effort

The two weeks of rest passed quickly. During this time, Chen Qi and his team did more than just take care of the photography crew who were recuperating in the hospital. Chen Qi also took the opportunity to film all the scenes before the fight scene with Huai Tianpei.

After resting for ten days and consolidating their condition, Wei Yenwu Madam Wen Yue came to accompany Chen Qi to perform the most crucial scene before the martial arts fight.

Chen Qi had Rob Rata give him a blood-covered, horribly disfigured makeover. The final result was so horrifying that it would make anyone on the set scream. Chen Qi appeared before Wei Yenwu and his wife in this state, and even though they were mentally prepared, Madam Wen Yue almost burst into tears when she saw Chen Qi.

In the movie, Chen Qi is rescued by the two men and taken to an abandoned house. Wei Yenwu, looking at Chen Qi with a face covered in blood, asks with some surprise:
