Chapter 172: Shaolin Drunken boxing, Louhans’ style!
“Alright, come on!” Joey shouted.
The young monk Dazu Haike appeared before him and shouted, “Sothern Dragon Style, Dragon fist!”
Then he started punching Joey. Joey used his Dragon Movement skills and easily dodged all of them.
“Hmph! ” The young monk snorted and shouted, ” Dragon stepping!” Then, he suddenly started moving in a zig-zag motion. But, he quickly caught up to Joey’s speed.
Joey grinned on seeing his speed caught up to him.
He thought, “So, you are a melee fighter. Alright!” Then, he shouted, ” Tai-Chi technique!”
The young monk kept punching at him while he blocked them all using his palms.
“Three Dragon attack!” He suddenly changed his attacking style. Three dragons made up of his water elemental essence Qi quickly formed and pounced toward Joey. Then, he sat down on the ground in the lotus position and made various hand seals, and started controlling the three dragons.
Joey quickly increased his movement speed and avoided them. But, they kept coming after him. He kept dodging them all. Then he started chanting a mantra in Sanskrit while he kept dodging those dragons.
Finally, he finished his mantra and shouted, “Yogic Fire, activate!”
Then an azure color fire appeared on Joey’s right hand. But the color of the fire kept changing into different colors. Suddenly, the surrounding became hotter and hotter.
Elder Fan who was currently observing their fight suddenly jumped up and exclaimed, “What! That is a tier-9 essence Fire.”
Then she calmed herself down and said, “That must be his alchemy essence Fire. All those alchemy grandmasters in this world that I know of don’t have any essence fire more than tier- 6. It is rumored that the chief grandmaster of this world has tier-7 essence Qi. In the Earth level alchemy book of my Mudan sect, it is written clearly that essence Fire with tier- 9 and tier-10 are legendary level alchemy fire. And those who can summon them will eventually become the immortal level Alchemy master. Who is this kid? Now, I want to know more about him.”
After summoning the tier-9 Yogic Fire Essence, Joey stopped dodging this time. He waited for them to come near him.
When the three dragons made from water elemental essence qi were near to him, Joey shouted, “Go!”
Then, the tier-9 Yogic Fire Essence separated into three equal portions and quickly moved toward the incoming three dragons.
When the yogic fire essence touched the bodies of the three dragons, they started roaring with pain.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The three yogic fires started burning them all. Sizzling sounds started producing from them continuously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three minutes, they all exploded and turned into steams and quickly disappeared in the air.
“Yogic fire, extinguish!” Joey shouted. Then, the three fires flickering with different colors disappeared quickly.
“Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!”
The young monk Dazu Haike’s face became pale quickly. Then, he vomited blood three times. After that, his face returned back to normal and he shouted with excitement, “Hahahaha! So, this is the feeling of getting hurt, right! It feels good. ”
He stood up and looked at Joey with more fighting spirit. Then, he smiled and wiped the blood on his lips with his sleeve.
After that, he took out the wine gourd that hung around his waist.
Twang! (Sound of removing the cork of the wine gourd). An amalgamation of sweet and sour smells started filling the surrounding.
Joey sniffed twice and smiled widely.
At the same time, the oenophile Floral lady Hai Yun closed her eyes and started snipping around the surrounded and said, “This wine must be older than one thousand years. If only I can have a drop of it…..” (Oenophile: wine lover or wine connoisseur)
The young monk Dazu Haike raised up the wine gourd and started pouring the wine inside his mouth.
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!…
He continued gulping down nonstop for ten minutes. Everyone around there including Joey looked at him with their mouth agape.
“Hah!” The young man shouted, “It is hot, hot, hot! Ahou, ahou, ahou.” and he coughed out loudly.
Suddenly, his face started turning red quickly. After that, sweat started pouring out of his body continuously.
“Are you rea-dy? Eech!” He hiccuped and started walking staggeringly toward Joey.
“Brother Dazu Haike, are you okay? Let’s end our spar here. ” Joey said with concern on seeing his tipsy state.
“Nope! The fight will con-ti-nue. You need to be more care-ful from now on-ward. Eech! ” The young monk Dazu Haike hiccupped again and warned him.
“Shaolin Drunken boxing, Luohans’ style! ” He shouted. (The most important Buddhist icons in Shaolin kung fu are Arhats, known in Chinese as Luohans.)
Then, suddenly he started swaying his body back and forth. It looked like he was about to fall on the ground with weakness.
Joey walked toward him to support him. But the moment he was about to touch his hand. The young monk kicked on his stomach. Joey was sent flying in the air and landed on the dusty ground. The impact of Joey on it made the dust on the ground spread around the surrounding.
After a few minutes, the dust slowly fell on the ground and Joey stood up from the ground. Then, he spat the blood in his mouth on the ground and murmured, “I underestimated this guy. If he doesn’t reduce the power of his kick to more than half of his power just now, I will seriously be injured by him. That is also a warning to me to be better careful with him next time.”
Then he dusted off his clothes and quickly rushed toward the young monk.
“Tai-Chi technique!” Joey shouted and started attacking him with his palms on his chest. But, the young monk swaggered and quickly dodged them easily.
The ladies who were currently watching their spar saw it as accidentally missing the palm strikes from Joey. They saw that the young monk was unintentionally dodging the strikes from Joey. But, they knew that the monk was doing it intentionally.
” It seems like there is no actual form to his steps and strikes. I can’t really predict his next moves. They are so disorderly. This technique is so annoying!” Joey thought in his mind.
