Chapter 539 Hardness and Softness
Chang Kuanghai stood there, the wound above his collarbone was gradually healing, and there was not even any blood oozing out, as it was being contained by the alienated tissue inside.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, and there was no trace of it left.

He glanced at the axe that was still embedded in the ground and tried to find a way to retrieve it, because fighting the enemy with bare hands was really a disadvantage. Although the damaged flesh could be repaired quickly, it still took some time, and too many cracks would affect the combat performance.

But he found that although Chen Chuan retreated far away, he was obviously waiting for him to take it. As long as he delayed for a moment, he would find an opportunity to suppress him again.

So after thinking about it, I simply gave up and will look for another opportunity in the next battle.

Chen Chuan made some adjustments on the spot, then he raised the Xuejun Sword slightly and stepped forward. The first two steps were relatively slow, but after the third step, his body suddenly sped up and he moved straight forward.

He had weapons in his hands, while his opponent was unarmed, so he didn't have to be too cautious about some attacks.

Chang Kuanghai spread his legs forward and backward, squatted slightly, and placed his arms horizontally in front of him, staring at Chen Chuan through the gap in between, ready to meet the attack.

Seeing the tip of the knife coming straight towards his face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, arched his back, and took the initiative to move forward to meet it. At the same time, he turned his arms outward and stretched his fingers outward, trying to use his body as a chopping board to hold up the long blade, and then grab it with both hands to snatch it away.

Before Chen Chuan could execute the move, he swung his long sword horizontally and then turned it, allowing the blade to pass across the surface of Chang Kuanghai's thick arm, leaving a thin trace of blood. However, Chang Kuanghai remained calm, and the wound healed almost instantly when the blade left his arm.

Chen Chuan stepped to his side at this time, and slashed at his knee with his backhand. The latter bent his knee outward to block the slash.
At this moment, Chen Chuan leaned forward, as if he wanted to go around behind him, but after Chang Kuanghai's center of gravity swayed with this movement, he suddenly took a step back, at the same time sinking his back, and moving the long sword downward with both hands, a ray of cold light directly cut off Chang Kuanghai's ankle.

Chang Kuanghai's expression became tense, and he immediately used his strength to stand firmly on his legs, ready to withstand the blow. His whole body was solid, and the knife would not cut off his legs, but the force attached to the blade was enough to make him lose balance.

However, when the knife was about to fall, there was a flash of light, and the knife actually rose up, slashing his lower abdomen. He immediately pressed his hand down to block the knife, but at this time Chen Chuan suddenly moved forward and was at his side in an instant. He swept the blade along and cut a bloody wound on the other side of his knee.

In these few moves, he made full use of the advantages of Xue Jun Dao's long sword and his own speed, so he was successful many times. Moreover, with the long sword in his hand, the opponent's fists and feet could not reach him at all, and he could not form an effective counterattack against him. This created a situation where he was the only one attacking and the opponent could only passively endure.

Chang Kuanghai was very calm at this moment. This little injury was nothing to him, especially those who were good at horizontal training were always known for their fighting resilience. So even if the fight lasted for several days and nights, he could hold on without changing his expression.

But the problem is that he came here to seek a breakthrough in spiritual power, to perfect himself and reach a higher level.

The Tianshu Fist he practiced was a style of boxing that emphasized aggressiveness and required the sublimation of the spirit to be stimulated in battle. The firmer the fighting will and the more intense the battle scene, the higher the spirit.

Now if he just stays there and gets beaten, his spirit will not match the style of boxing, and he will not be able to gain any benefit from the opened Heavenly Gate.

So he had to find a way to change the situation.

After taking several consecutive stabs from Chen Chuan, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and one could seem to hear his heart beating like a drum.

It seemed that he had become a little thinner. At this moment, the knife flashed again. He raised his elbow to meet it, and with a clang, he blocked the knife and placed it in front of him like a bull horn. At this moment, his upper body remained motionless, but under his feet he exerted force in an extremely subtle way, and he jumped out with a bang.

This short burst of power is the unique skill of Tianshu Fist, called Elephant-Bull Head. If a person is trapped in a military formation, surrounded by layers of spears and shields, with no room to move left or right, then this burst of power can instantly break up the military formation and break out of the encirclement.

And at this moment, his speed and strength will be doubled!

Seeing that he was almost in front of him, Chen Chuan had no way to avoid him, so he stepped on the ground with his back foot, leaned forward, stretched out his other hand, and pressed on the opponent's elbow. Circles of dust and air exploded around the two of them. Although he blocked it, he was still pushed back.

This time he retreated a full seven or eight meters, and the bricks and rocks under his feet flew away, plowing a gully.

After his body paused, Chang Kuanghai exerted strength from his waist and back, and the raised elbow drove his forearm to chop down, and the front fist suddenly smashed forward like an axe.

This was a move unique to Tianshu Fist called "Air Shock Hammer", and he was much taller than Chen Chuan, and the attack was from top to bottom, so that the latter's entire body was almost covered by the range.

It seemed that Chen Chuan had no way to dodge, but his eyes were very calm, and when the fist fell, his whole body moved to the side as if unaffected by the impact, avoiding it.

Chang Kuanghai didn't expect that he could dodge like this, but he had practiced Tianshuquan to this level and could control his strength freely. Seeing this, he immediately stopped his fist and avoided being dragged out in time.

However, he finally paused for a moment, and at this moment, Chen Chuan let go of the Xue Jun Knife, and grabbed his arm with both hands from front and back. His fingers dug deeply into the solid muscles, and he exerted a grappling force.

Chang Kuanghai felt something was wrong. After all, he was a horizontally trained physique. Even when the grappling force came, he was not immediately held without resistance. He immediately changed his force and smashed Chen Chuan with his other hand, trying to force him to let go. Chen Chuan then raised his elbow and blocked with his shoulder. The collision shocked both of them, but Chang Kuanghai was not able to break free from the hold. So he grabbed with both hands alternately, moving up along the joints of Chang Kuanghai's arm, rapidly approaching his throat and neck, while the grappling force continued to burst out.

Chang Kuanghai felt as if half of his body was feeling numb and weak, and if the throat was locked, there would be no point in fighting.

Then he exhaled, and the muscles on his held arm tensed outwards, with a powerful shockwave bursting out.

Chen Chuan's fingers were suddenly bounced away, but he did not stop. While Chang Kuanghai was exerting force, he leaned forward and pressed against his body. At the same time, his hands slid down and grabbed his waist and hips, intending to throw him into a hug.

From grappling to wrestling, the changes in strength are extremely natural.

Chang Kuanghai's expression changed. If he was grabbed this time, he would not be able to mobilize all the strength in his body, and he would still be at the mercy of others.

At this critical moment, he suddenly took a reverse breath.
At this moment, the body suddenly turned from hard to soft, and the originally strong and hard body seemed to have no bones. The force that had penetrated into the body disappeared. At the same time, the breathing quickly turned around, and in an instant, it turned from soft to hard again. Between the contraction and the expansion, a strong force vibrated out from the inside of the body.

This is the "Heaven and Earth Pull" in Tianshu Quan, which reverses the breathing to reverse hardness and softness in order to cope with various different forces.

After Chen Chuan felt his changes, he knew that it would be difficult to succeed if he continued, so he immediately stepped back, grabbed the Xuejun Sword that had not yet hit the ground, and retreated to a distance where he could fully swing the sword before stopping.

Chang Kuanghai did not come up to catch up because he needed to adjust himself after several consecutive outbursts.

Chen Chuan looked at his tall body. If Wei Wusheng sought the combination of hardness and softness, then Chang Kuanghai's horizontal training was based on his own practice of hardness and softness to the peak, which could be said to be a combination of hardness and softness.

This person has almost no obvious weaknesses in his body, and his spirit is strong and condensed. For such a person, it will be useless no matter how you attack him from the outside unless his physical strength and blood are exhausted.

Well, that's the only way...

He raised his hand and thrust the Xuejun Knife into the ground.

Chang Kuanghai saw this scene and said in a deep voice: "You don't need it anymore?" He was a little surprised. Chen Chuan had a knife in his hand and was obviously at an advantage. He didn't know why he made this choice.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Because it is no longer necessary."

Just now he kept cutting the opponent's body with a knife. Apparently he was just trying to maneuver from the outside, but in fact he was trying to lure the opponent into attacking him, and then defeat him by grappling, throwing and hugging him.

But now that it doesn't work, there's no need to fight on like this.

Even though the opponent seems to have no flaws, it doesn't mean there is really no solution.

No matter how strong your horizontal training is, there is a limit to its endurance.

He took a deep breath, and after the restraints of the alienated tissue in his body were released, he used the Furnace Breathing Technique at full power, and wisps of white smoke came out of his body.

Then he raised his head, and the ends of his hair were blown up by the strong airflow from the other side of the crack. The next moment, his figure standing there became blurred.

Chang Kuanghai suddenly became alert. He lowered his center of gravity, leaned forward, and prepared himself to defend against the attack.

But when he had only done half of the action, he found that Chen Chuan had already reached the front and jumped into the air, and the fist raised in his hand seemed to pause for a moment, then suddenly smashed down!
At this moment, it seemed as if the air around them exploded!
He reacted quickly. With the help of his breathing, he pulled the strength from his feet and raised his hands to block.

With a bang, a strong and abundant force was transmitted from above where the arms made contact. He groaned, his nostrils expanded, his face became congested, and his whole body sank downwards. The ground under his feet began to crack and collapse, his muscles swelled, and the trouser legs on his legs tore apart.

However, before he could adjust himself, Chen Chuan's second punch came down from mid-air. Because this punch was so fast, the aftermath of the previous punch was still there, and he had no time to dissipate the force. He was overwhelmed and knelt down on one leg with a bang.
