Seeing Wu Yun rushing towards him, Su Ziyang ducked down, channeling his energy into his legs.

Su Ziyang studied Baguazhang under Daoist Jin and acupressure under the Jiang Family.

With the two fighting techniques combined, Su Ziyang still had some confidence in competing with others.

So when Wu Yun charged at him, Su Ziyang's first thought was to dodge.

Wu Yun Su Ziyang dodge, Wu Yun acted impulsively, sidestepping and changing his fist into a palm, then his palm into a hook.

He reached for Su Ziyang's lower abdomen.

Ancient martial arts competitions are different from modern free fighting.

Free fighting emphasizes punches, grappling techniques, and of course, most importantly, the application of the rules.

However, ancient martial arts competitions do not have as many rules and regulations.

The use of any technique other than weapons was permitted, so in ancient contests, the enemy was often defeated and victory won in just one or two moves.

For example, kicking the groin, gouging the eyes, and countless other moves. These vital areas are fatal to even the strongest fighters.

Touching it will result in either death or serious injury.

This is where human vulnerability lies.

So the instant Wu Yun saw Su Ziyang dodge, his hand reached out to grab Su Ziyang.

The index finger just touched Su Ziyang's Tianshu acupoint, which is the Mu point of the large intestine on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming.

The location is two inches to the side of the navel.

The main indications are: abdominal distension, diarrhea, inguinal hernia, persistent dysentery (both bloody and white), loss of appetite, edema, abdominal rumbling, shortness of breath, inability to stand for long periods, chronic coldness, periumbilical pain, occasional upward rushing to the heart, restlessness and vomiting, cholera, diarrhea due to cold in winter, malaria with chills and fever, delirium, typhoid fever with excessive water intake, abdominal distension and shortness of breath, gynecological masses, blood clots, menorrhagia, and irregular menstruation.

In short, there are many ways to treat illness.

However, if this acupoint is pressed, then all the diseases that can be treated during acupuncture will appear.

Seeing Wu Yun reach for his Wu Yun, Su Ziyang dodged to the side.

With his foot stepping from left to right, a movement that defied all the laws of mechanics, Su Ziyang executed.

Wu Yun to kill, and Su Ziyang couldn't just sit and wait to die.

So, in a moment of sideways movement, he struck the Mingmen acupoint on Wu Yun's waist and the Tianzong acupoint on his back.

The Mingmen acupoint is located below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra.

The Tianzong acupoint is located in the scapular region, in the central depression of the infraspinous fossa, level with the fourth thoracic vertebra.

So when Su Ziyang reached out with both hands, Wu Yun also felt threatened and nimbly dodged Su Ziyang's fingers by turning to the side.

With this gesture, Su Ziyang and Wu Yun's positions were completely switched.

"Good lad, you've got some skills." Wu Yun sighed softly, then turned and slowly walked towards Su Ziyang.

Wu Yun walked exceptionally slowly this time, but Su Ziyang felt an unprecedented sense of pressure.

It felt like being locked onto by radar, unable to escape or move.

Su Ziyang stared at Wu Yun as he walked towards him step by step.

Wu Yun walked to a distance of one step from Su Ziyang, when Su Ziyang suddenly charged at Wu Yun.

Wu Yun dodged to the side, landing his entire body next to Su Ziyang.

I don't know, well, there's really no need to say.

Most of the viewers here have never seen a donkey kick.

But I've seen it.

Wu Yun ran to Su Ziyang's side, turned his back to Su Ziyang, stuck out his buttocks, and swung his thigh.

I can only use the word "flirt" now.

Because I really can't think of any other adjectives to use.

This movement is like a donkey or horse kicking up its heels.

With a thud, his heel struck Su Ziyang in the stomach.

For an ordinary person, that kick would have been half-killed.

I wouldn't even mention damaging your internal organs; Lan Xianzi would definitely have broken them before, no doubt about it!

However, after Daoist Jin's training, Su Ziyang's Baguazhang and Golden Bell Shield was definitely not just a haphazard effort.

That's real toughness, not fake toughness.

After being kicked hard by the heel, Su Ziyang shuddered.

A slight pain came from my lower abdomen.

Wu Yun looked back at the unmoved Su Ziyang, somewhat bewildered. According to his usual training, this kick could have shattered at least six bricks.

But today, this trump card failed to work.

The feeling in my heel was like kicking a rubber tire.

"Holy crap, you're really cunning!"

Wu Yun's kick was actually aimed at Su Ziyang's groin.

There's a saying, "Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain."

A brick can break martial arts, and a kitchen knife can break qigong.

If someone were to kick him in the groin, not only Su Ziyang, but even Mr. Mengfei would have to kneel down...

Who gains kung fu skills for nothing?!

Therefore, Su Ziyang dodged such a fatal kick and took the blow head-on with the strength of his dantian.

"Holy crap, Chuojiao!"

Wu Yun Wu Yun's ultimate move betrayed his origins.

Mr. Mengfei immediately used profanity.

Chuojiao, also known as Chuojiao Fanziquan, Branch School, or "Nine Branches, Nine Flips".

Also known as the Shackle-Escaping Fist".

It is one of the outstanding styles of ancient martial arts.

The unique leg technique of Chuojiao is called "Tread Kicks" or "Tread Kicking".

As the saying goes in boxing, "When the buttocks drop, the Chuojiao follow." This style of boxing has many ways to kick backward, such as the Nine-Flipping Mandarin Duck Kicks (also called the Rear Dingchang), the Back Outward Swing Kick, the Back Kick, the Back Sweep Kick, the Back Steal Kick, the Scorpion Stance with Mule Kick.

Back in the day, Wu Song, the Pilgrim, was an extremely skilled Chuojiao among the heroes of Liangshan Marsh!

Wu Song's kung fu was extremely high, which is why he defeated so many people.

Daoist Jin frowned upon seeing Wu Yun's Chuojiao technique. "Ziyang, don't let him kick your groin. He's very cunning!"

As soon as Daoist Jin offered advice to Su Ziyang, Guo Tianren on the other side objected. "You come at me!? A true gentleman observes chess without speaking! It's the same in a martial arts match, what are you shouting about? I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Teacher Yang, is this the attitude your apprentice has???"

Mr. Mengfei, in a moment of urgency, said something to the elderly Mr. Yang Jinguang with respect.

Who knew that Yang Jinguang seemed not to have heard Mr. Mengfei's words at all, and continued to look at Su Ziyang and Wu Yun without caring about anything else.

"Fuck you!"

Wu Yun roared at Mr. Mengfei and Su Ziyang!!!

"Bring it on!"

Su Ziyang also lost his temper. Fighting is bad for ordinary people, but for Su Ziyang, I'm really afraid you won't come.

After all, Su Ziyang was a mischievous child. It's impossible for him to be so disruptive when he was young and then become polite and respectful when he grows up!

"Besides groin-to-groin contact, what other moves are there?"

Su Ziyang openly mocked him.

Wu Yun got angry again and rushed over. His right toe trembled rapidly as if he were kicking an electric shock.

Su Ziyang dodged Wu Yun's footsteps once again, and then made a couple of sarcastic remarks to Wu Yun.

"Watch me!"

Su Ziyang gave a cold shout.

With both hands outstretched towards Wu Yun, Wu Yun, seeing Su Ziyang's counterattack, leaped more than a meter away.
