Feng Yi didn't have time to counteract. He also lifted a knee and made the same instant kick motion. The simultaneous attacks collided in a vacant space with a crisp sound… Immediately after, a sharp "shhh" sound was heard by the crowd as Abili was directly pushed back by this sudden kick. Although he was only flying horizontally above the ground, it was clear how terrifying the force of this attack was.
Feng Yi restrained his strength and reduced his realm and force to match Abili's level, which was indeed the case. However, Feng Yi's overall core power was far superior to Abili's. Even if his muscles and joints were exerted at the same level, the results would greatly surpass those at the same level. This revealed his superior physical coordination.
Abili rubbed his legs, clearly dissatisfied at heart. He immediately charged with accumulated power and jumped, and in his descent, he intended to deliver a knee strike to instantly finish off the opponent. Being on the edge of the boundary, Feng Yi had no room to dodge on either side.
At this moment, before waiting for Abili's attack to land, Feng Yi spun around and launched a Rising Dragon Skyward, then, at the moment of contact, with a forceful twist of his buttocks, he changed his move to an upward Scissor Kick, intent on locking his opponent in position.
If Abili's aerial plummeting was an aggressive technique, then the Scissor Kick was a forced subdual with leg power. His lower limb joints and one arm were forcefully locked by Feng Yi… just about to land, Feng Yi twisted his body like a serpent, forcing Abili to make a 360-degree turn in mid-air and land back first. Feng Yi, taking advantage of the reaction force before landing, performed an aerial somersault to stabilize his posture.
Boom! The ground shook. Abili had taken a heavy fall, he lay on the ground for a full half a minute before his disciples rushed over to help him up. Feng Yi didn't even bother to look at him, as if saying that the spec ops were inadequate, and now there was even a problem with Thai boxing.
The crowd was astonished to see this. They all knew that Feng Yi was strong, but they didn't expect his skills to be equally amazing. The sudden kick he just used is a standard move recognized by all Ancient Martial Arts families. It's called a side kick in Thai boxing, a low kick in Sanda, and a Scissor Kick is an advanced Military Tactical Skill.
With such ease and effortlessness, one could not say that this opponent had no strength. However, he was nowhere near the league of the elites, and was just an ordinary player. Becoming a master required more than effort; it took relentless training and life-threatening risks to strengthen oneself, tempering oneself under extreme conditions, and developing rebound jumping ability under unbearable gravity.
"Come on, next. I'd suggest you all gather up and fight me together." Feng Yi's gaze swept across the crowd and coldly uttered. His sharp gaze gradually moved across each person's face; no expressions or movements could escape his keen perception.
Normally, all those from the old Martial Arts families would have their own pride and would not choose a group attack upon hearing this. However, the cunning ones, especially those who wanted to harm him, could very likely support this way and resort to some movements. Therefore, Feng Yi decided to observe quietly. Of course, it would be even better if he could spot people from the five great Ancient Martial Arts families.
Unfortunately, he didn't. Although he didn't spot any people from the five hermit-like Ancient Martial Arts families, Feng Yi noticed some variance in a few's expressions. Their heartbeat, breathing rhythm, and those tiny changes were all perceptible under Feng Yi's sharp Mental Power.
Feng Yi didn't say anything, but he quietly marked the faces of these people. It had to be said that the majority amongst this group were women, including a pair of likeable sisters, which was worth looking forward to.
Feng Yi seemed to have offended everyone with his words. He made it clear that he didn't regard them highly. Immediately a few figures with varied strength stepped forward to confront Feng Yi. Describing their strength as varied might be unfair as their expertise was different, but Feng Yi was still able to discern the difference in their abilities. Especially, a boxing king and an old man were particularly observant.
The old man maintained a constant and calm breath, like a serene lake surface without any ripples, a composure not even Feng Yi possessed. If he was not mistaken, this old man could potentially be a super master of an Ancient Martial Arts family.
Regarding the boxing champion, it could be said with certainty that he had killed people and seen blood before, for Feng Yi could sense a deadly aura about him. Strange as it may seem, such an aura was usually not present among usual fighting masters or champions, but this boxing champion was different. Feng Yi believed that a single punch from him could easily claim a life.
But apart from a few individuals he was concerned about, those who had stepped forward had no intentions of collectively assaulting one person. Instead, they decided to engage in single battles, man-to-man.
Feng Yi was helpless but to fight. During his confrontation with the boxing king-like figure, he found his punches were incredibly powerful, terrifyingly so. On the other hand, his agility was exceptionally low, almost to an unbelievably low degree. With the speed of a Fire Warrior, Feng Yi estimated he could dodge most of the attacks, ultimately defeating the boxing champion. Surprisingly he turned out to be a super heavyweight underground black boxing champion.
Next was the old man. With sunglasses atop his head and a cane in his hand, he looked cultured and refined. The long beard he had live down his face gave off a sense of mystical wisdom. When Feng Yi saw his demeanor, he naturally became alert.
What was more important is that the old man had a very steady mindset, so steady that his movements didn't leak any energy. He slowly took off his sunglasses revealing a tranquil expression. Despite Feng Yi's experience, he couldn't detect any weaknesses from the old man. Or rather, every move seemed to contain a short-lived weakness, which was more aptly considered a trap.
The sudden gap in their cultivation had Feng Yi breaking out in a cold sweat... the more he observed, the more concerned he became. Feng Yi knew one thing clearly, such a situation rarely happened, but it was not impossible, it only happened when there was a substantial disparity in their ranks and power levels.
The old man, smiling with a kind face, gently discarded his walking cane, took a step forward, and gestured for Feng Yi to begin...
Feng Yi's eyes turned unusually solemn, and with a crunch, between the opening and closing of his palm, he immediately elevated his cultivation to its peak.
The elder, however, remained utterly unfazed. He slightly nodded his head, it appeared as if he had noticed something, or was concocting something, which made Feng Yi even more incredulous. Humph! No matter what trick you have up your sleeve, you won't know until you try. With this mindset, Feng Yi decided to take the initiative to attack, concentrated his energy to his Dantian, and launched himself with a fist...
As his fist generated a gust of wind, Feng Yi was now only a few steps away from the elder. The fierce wind abruptly ceased, and he forcefully halted his attack. A warrior's intuition told him that he should not proceed with this strike. If he did, things could go awry because the old man's aura was too calm – so calm that it made him feel uneasy... In all of Feng Yi's fights till now, he had never seen someone this calm, as though he was not facing a master, but a reclusive powerhouse far above himself – no, that wasn't right, the elder's aura was more like a common man's.
Wait, a common man... This could very well be possible. An old man who does exercises every day, wakes up early, and possesses a peaceful mind, might indeed give off such a mystical air. The more Feng Yi thought about it, the more sense it made.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you really know how to fight?"
Interesting enough, upon asking, everyone was speechless… The old man admitted he had never fought before but had practised Tai Chi daily to maintain a good state of mind. He had been practising for several years, so he took this opportunity to come here with his wife to give it a try. Of course, he was also old, and had never journeyed this far before. He had heard that their national hero was hosting a Martial Arts Conference, so he came to witness it himself. He even planned to participate, and finally, he asked if Feng Yi was the real Revenge Shadow Rider?
