Yan Chuan felt regretful in his heart.
The waters of Nanyue Lake are vast. Today, he happened upon this Alligator Beast, and it’s not easy to encounter it again next time. Even with the ’Thousand-mile Mirror’ in hand, it’s difficult, very difficult!
Moreover, this Alligator Beast is being hunted by a Whale Beast; whether it can escape or survive is still uncertain.
"Forget it, forget it, forget it!"
"If I miss it, then I miss it."
"Iron Arm Monkey Mountain is my main focus this trip!"
Yan Chuan quickly adjusted his mood.
In the ’Twelve Forms’ of ’Xingyi’, progress in any form can drive the overall advancement of ’Xingyi Boxing’, enhancing Yan Chuan’s strength.
No need to cling to the ’Alligator Form’.
There is still the ’Monkey Form’ ahead.
Not just the ’Monkey Form’, but there are more ’Beast Masters’ along the way to Iron Arm Monkey Mountain; for example, the second one Yan Chuan encountered on this trip—
Snakes can part grass and are skillful at coiling.
Their bodies are flexible, extending and retracting smoothly. The body is round and long, of varying thickness, forked tongue and a slender tail, wriggling swiftly, coiling and uncoiling naturally with yin and yang.
’Snake Form’ takes the traits of the snake.
The ’Purple Ring Snake’ is about three zhang long, its body as thick as two people, covered in dark purple scales; its head is even larger than a basin, and an ordinary person would lose their courage just by seeing it.
Yet at this moment, Yan Chuan was unarmed, facing the ’Purple Ring Snake’ in combat.
"’Snake Form’ values coordinated opening and closing, yin and yang, mainly focusing on flexibility, with strength in softness; the upper body should be relaxed and soft, the lower limbs need to be agile, achieving loose steps but solid stances."
"The body should sway, the steps should turn, both hands flicker as the mind battles!"
"Circle and paddle steps, step along with the body, use the fingers to grab the throat quickly as the standard!"
"Dragon playing with pearl, palm inserted into rib, with a cunning hand peck without striking directly!"
"Toes point, tiger claw advances, come urgently respond calmly with skillful softness."
Pierce, insert, press, chop, press down, swing, pick!
Collapse, drill, press, charge, horizontal, chop, hook!
Yan Chuan moved agilely with his stepping technique, tangling with the ’Purple Ring Snake’.
This snake was ferocious—
All were above average, all were not inferior to Yan Chuan.
Left swaying, right swinging, pushing forward and entangling.
Yan Chuan maneuvered in inches, every move belonged to the ’Snake Form’—
This is a heavy hand technique from ’Snake Form’, where a single finger touches the enemy, the force point is small but with sufficient penetration, and compared to ordinary punches, it has the same power but delivers more intense damage. It’s proficient in hard skills, capable of ’penetrating muscles and damaging internal organs’, its strong piercing force can break the enemy’s inner strength and internal energy.
Although the Purple Ring Snake had tough skin like snake leather and scale armor that was bulletproof, the moment Yan Chuan used the ’Snake Mouth Fist’, it immediately felt the pain inside and had to avoid.
The Purple Ring Snake felt the pain!
"Snake Tongue Finger!"
Yan Chuan constantly shifted between fists, palms, and fingers, adapting as he wished, exploiting the ’Snake Form’s’ cunning venomous nature and the acupoint-hitting trait to the fullest.
’Snake Head Fist’ was fast and agile, retracting and striking as desired!
’Snake Head Palm’ was easy to emit and retract, relatively fast, close-ranged, primary attack, short and intense strike!
’Snake Tongue Palm’ was strong and forceful, attacking from a distance, hitting long and hard, and had a high degree of destructiveness, with numerous power skill changes, besides direct force stabbing, it could also chop, slice, cut, sweep, press, and slap.
"Poison Snake Covering!"
"Poison Snake Strike Pearl!"
"Poison Snake Stabbing Acupoint!"
Yan Chuan integrated attack with defense, launched a continuous onslaught, striking so that the Purple Ring Snake trembled uncontrollably, utterly incapable of counterattacking. But being an alien beast, it had tough skin and strong flesh, with scale armor protection, it could withstand hundreds of Yan Chuan’s attacks without harming its fundamental vitality, but if Yan Chuan suffered a single hit, it would be perilous.
This was dancing on the edge of a blade.
Yan Chuan was unafraid.
Not only did he want to defeat the Purple Ring Snake, but he also continued to confer, attempting to teach it the ’Snake Form’ mysteries with his ’Experience’.
"The key to ’Snake Form’ lies in hiding and accumulating energy, permeating the entire body. Internally firm, externally soft, first bent then stretched; turn as you wish, strike as if not striking; stick, adhere, and absorb, the snake power achieves wonders."
Divine Snake Refining Moon, Golden Snake Rising, Snake Coiling Sky, White Snake Spits Tongue, Wind Snake Around Tree, Mysterious Snake Coiling Stone, Poison Snake Spitting Foam, Soaring Snake Walking in Mist, Horned Snake Tail!
Yan Chuan was like a snake, his set of ’Snake-shaped Fist’, simulating a snake’s dual tongues in confrontation, used twin fingers together as a method of acupoint hitting. With lively arms and flexible waist, continually entwining. The snake has the function of coiling, practical combat involves the grappling technique. The body wanders in twists, moves when must, stops when compelled, this is the ’Snake Form movement technique’!
"Twisting hard and soft with energy throughout the body, head picking tail striking, hitting gaps and invading; adhere, entwine, absorb forming restraint and extension, snake power transcending with grand attack."
"Let’s stop here today!"
Yan Chuan moved like a snake, using a ’Spirit Snake Entwining Branch’ to coil up the Purple Ring Snake, with a heavy throw, he tossed it several zhang away, Yan Chuan vaulted lightly and disappeared into the distance.
A waterfall cascaded down, the sound of water like thunder, shaking the mountains and valleys.
This was indeed the highest waterfall in Iron Arm Monkey Mountain—
With the sight of the Carefree Waterfall, Iron Arm Monkey Mountain was reached!
