"… More than 300 miles northwest of Pingxi County, there are towering mountains, which are extremely steep and dangerous, shrouded in clouds and mist, and are called Yulong. There are many exotic beasts in Yulong Mountain, and most of them are rarely visited by humans. The mountain is opposite to Qiyun Mountain, and it looks like a dragon soaring in the clouds. The head and body of Yulong Mountain are in Ganzhou, like a giant dragon stretching out, overlooking the Gulang grassland, and the tail enters the hinterland of Qiyun Mountain. It is a natural creation of supernatural power, and it ends abruptly. Some people say that you can see the head of the dragon but not the tail. There is a canyon where Yulong and Qiyun Mountains intersect, which is a natural moat, and the narrowest part is only one mile. There is Baishi Pass here, which is the throat of northwest Ganzhou and an important military town..." - "Pingxi County Records"
On February 21, the 14th year of Yuanping in the Han Empire, the harsh winter had passed and early spring had arrived. Just as the sun rose in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone, a strange light and shadow was moving in the gaps between the rocks of a hundred-meter-high cliff in a hidden canyon deep in the misty and rarely visited mountains of Yulong Mountain. The roars of tigers and cries of monkeys resounded through the valley, startling several gray eagles that were roosting in the valley and making them fly up from their nests...
The reason why that group of light and shadow was strange was that it was constantly changing. The light and shadow were transformed by the strange phenomenon of the martial arts. At the beginning, the light and shadow was a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes, jumping and pouncing between the steep rock walls, making bursts of tiger roars. In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow showed the appearance of a white deer, calling out in a yo-yo manner, and moving and still. After a while, the light and shadow of the white deer turned into a giant black bear, with a majestic and powerful presence. As the light and shadow of the giant bear flashed, it turned into a long-armed golden ape. The long-armed golden ape jumped and It flew out from the crevice of the cliff, stretched out its long arms, and climbed up the steep vertical rock wall as if it were walking on flat ground. When the golden ape's shadow rushed to the top of the wall that was more than a hundred feet high, the golden gibbon suddenly jumped off the cliff and fell into the canyon like a bungee jumper. Before it landed, the golden ape's shadow instantly turned into a crane in the air, flapped its wings, soared in the sky, and passed through the clouds in the middle of the canyon with an extremely graceful posture, and continued to fall into the canyon...
If a cultivator were to see what is happening before his eyes, his jaw would probably drop in shock.
It is normal for the miraculous skills and secret techniques in this world to have strange phenomena. However, it is estimated that no one has ever heard of or seen a set of skills with strange phenomena of tiger, deer, bear, ape and crane. Such skills have never appeared in this world.
Just as the shadow of the white crane was about to land, the strange vision of the white crane's power finally dissipated, and finally a person's figure appeared. That person was Yan Liqiang, who had been away from home for nearly three months.
At this moment, Yan Liqiang was barefoot, with flying long hair, and wearing only a pair of shorts. His whole body was muscular, and he was like a cannonball, shooting down to the ground with his head upside down.
Everything on the canyon floor expanded rapidly in Yan Liqiang's eyes. Under his feet was a pool of water that was more than 50 acres in size. Just as he was about to fall into the pool, Yan Liqiang punched out.
The real cannonball was the punch thrown by Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang's punch was extremely powerful. The moment the punch was thrown, a vacuum was created where the fist was, making a rumbling sound like a cannon in the air, which was very powerful.
With a loud bang, waves dozens of meters high suddenly rose in the huge pool below the canyon. It was also because of this punch that the huge force brought by Yan Liqiang's body flying down like a cannonball was completely dissolved by the water in the pool.
Amidst the splashing water, Yan Liqiang's body suddenly turned around, so that he was upside down, and then, like an arrow, he shot into the pool without any suspense.
The water in the pool was crystal clear, with a mysterious blue hue. It was formed by the snow-capped mountains in the distance and was icy cold. However, Yan Liqiang was already accustomed to such icy water.
The moment he entered the water, Yan Liqiang turned into a swimming fish. With the momentum of entering the water, Yan Liqiang swam directly to the bottom of the pool. In just a blink of an eye, he swam to the bottom of the pool, which was more than 30 meters deep, and then started punching under the water.
Yan Liqiang's movements were simple and powerful, without any frills. His punches were like cannons, and every time he threw a punch, it was as if a depth charge was dropped under the pool of water. The originally calm bottom of the water instantly became turbulent, and the surface of the water was even more turbulent, as if a giant beast was tumbling in the water.
When Yan Liqiang threw a punch, even though he was underwater, the strange vision of martial arts appeared on Yan Liqiang's body again. This time, the strange vision of martial arts was neither a person nor an object, but two huge and imposing characters - Baji!
If there is a martial artist from the world where Yan Liqiang lived in his previous life here, and sees the punches Yan Liqiang is throwing at this moment, that person will definitely recognize that the punches Yan Liqiang is throwing in the water at this moment are the 64-style hand cannons in Bajiquan.
This sixty-four-style hand cannon, in Yan Liqiang's hands, has truly become a cannon. Every punch is a cannon. With every movement, it is as powerful as a landslide, and it creates huge waves in the pool.
As a boxing proverb goes, "Taijiquan can bring peace to the world, and Bajiquan can bring order to the world." At this moment, when Bajiquan was in Yan Liqiang's hands, people could really feel the terrifying power of Bajiquan.
Before the sixty-four-style hand cannon was finished, Yan Liqiang's body was already lit up with a red light. Although he was underwater, the powerful energy of the Heavenly Dao still arrived as expected, pouring in from the top of Yan Liqiang's head and the soles of his feet, transforming every cell in Yan Liqiang's body and injecting more powerful vitality into Yan Liqiang's body...
This was the thirteenth time that he had received the Heavenly Dao Infusion since he started practicing Bajiquan.
The process of the Heavenly Dao filling his body lasted for nearly five minutes. As soon as the energy of the Heavenly Dao subsided, Yan Liqiang launched a more ferocious attack. The water at the bottom of the pool was instantly like being chopped by a giant axe, and a brief vacuum was formed around Yan Liqiang.
The water in the pool was turbulent and surging, forming a powerful squeezing effect in the vacuum. Yan Liqiang, like a cannonball, soared into the sky from the bottom of the pool. After jumping out of the water, he stood steadily on a huge bluestone at the shore of the pool.
Yan Liqiang looked at his hands, feeling the powerful new strength in his body, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in the valley, his voice full of excitement and joy...
