Mercenary's War-Chapter 2188 - 2165: Nothing Is Tougher Than Cannon Fist

Li Jinfang is tall, with long arms and legs. When he creates distance, he has the advantage. As his opponent changed moves once again, Li Jinfang finally moved.

To solve seemingly unsolvable problems, sometimes you just need to move a little, just a little, as long as you have the ability to move.

Gao Yang’s kick had reached a master level, but the drawback of having only one special move is once it’s used and ineffective, there are no other moves to use. Either get knocked down by the opponent or find another opportunity to use the same move again.

The difference between Gao Yang and Li Jinfang is that he couldn’t avoid the elbow strike, but Li Jinfang was able to retreat half a step, narrowly dodging a kick aimed at him.

Taking a step back to see the broader picture.

Xingyi Fist is about movement during combat. Standing still and easily knocking down an opponent means the opponent’s strength is too weak. The characteristic of Xingyi Fist is to move while striking, and strike while moving, straight and direct.

Retreating is for advancing with great strides. After stepping back, space is created. Li Jinfang, avoiding the opponent’s attack and gaining space, immediately surged forward, let out a short roar, and chopped his right fist down aggressively.

Li Jinfang’s opponent landed, pulling both arms quickly to cover the face and chest, blocking Li Jinfang’s punch.

Without much sound, Li Jinfang’s opponent was struck and looked like they were about to fall back, but that Thai individual’s reaction was fast, retreating quickly with two quick steps.

Li Jinfang hit his opponent but didn’t manage to make them lose their ability to act immediately. This was the first time Gao Yang had seen this.

Besides, Li Jinfang was about to lose the opportunity to pursue. The Thai individual who initially attacked Gao Yang shouted, kicking towards Li Jinfang from the side.

Knee or elbow strikes have short attack ranges, suitable for close combat, while keeping a distance is more suitable for whip kicks.

Li Jinfang was not hindered by the opponent. Once he unleashes his punch, it keeps moving until he completely knocks down the opponent.

Li Jinfang used his left hand to block a leg kicking towards his left waist, swiped it aside, then let out another roar, leapt forward, but his right fist shot upwards directly aiming at the opponent’s pit of the stomach.

At this moment, a third person joined the fight, and they had a knife in hand.

In fact, the third Southeast Asian person had already moved, but Li Jinfang’s combat speed with the two experts was too fast for anyone to see clearly what happened. After a series of blocking and striking, someone sitting nearby directly drew a knife to stab towards Li Jinfang’s back.

Silent, sinister, and deadly, but Li Jinfang seemed to have eyes on his back, twisting his body downward, pivoting on his right foot, without any auxiliary hand movement, as his left foot drew a circle on the ground, sweeping at the ankle of the knife-wielding Southeast Asian individual.

A rarely seen sweeping kick in real combat, Li Jinfang performed it with elegance and flair, but although he knocked down the enemy beside him with a kick, Li Jinfang had already struck three times at the opponent in front without success.

Xingyi Fist has footwork. Li Jinfang’s hands moved as if pulling something or like pulling oars during rowing. His hands weren’t swift in the push and pull, but suddenly he shot forward, finally catching up with the quickly retreating opponent, lowering his waist and shoulders, then simultaneously shot both fists out.

With a thud, Li Jinfang’s opponent immediately fell back.

Li Jinfang finally used the most vigorous movement of Xingyi Fist, the Cannon Fist, and it was a Double Cannon Fist at that.

Generally speaking, Li Jinfang never uses any specific moves in a fight, and even if he uses Xingyi Fist, it’s only the essence, not limited to Xingyi Fist techniques. At his level, any move comes naturally.

But this time, Li Jinfang showcased Xingyi Fist completely. When fighting many strong enemies at once, he was finally forced to fully employ the Xingyi Fist he had practiced from a young age, practicing it to his very bones.

The Double Cannon Fist used by Li Jinfang was unparalleled in strength. When it landed firmly on the enemy’s chest, it sounded like a mallet hitting a broken drum, producing a dull thud, and this time, his opponent didn’t retreat but absorbed all the force in their chest, softened, and fell backward on the spot, with blood immediately gushing from the mouth, nose, ears, and eyes.

It was the chest that was struck, not the head, yet the opponent was shaken until blood flowed from all seven orifices—that’s the true power of Li Jinfang’s Cannon Fist.

After both fists hit the target, Li Jinfang flicked both hands to his waist, turned to face Gao Yang while his right fist shot out again, letting out another roar and started advancing.

Xingyi Fist must be about moving while striking, striking while moving.

If Li Jinfang kept attacking forward, he would be out of the crowd, so he had to turn around and fight back to Gao Yang’s side.

Gao Yang was lying on the ground, holding his head with his right hand, watching as Li Jinfang turned and fought his way back again.

Gao Yang’s head was still in a daze, with stars twirling before his eyes.

At this moment, Gao Yang saw Li Jinfang being surrounded by several people, all Southeast Asians.

Those Southeast Asians looked no taller than about 1.7 meters at most, thin and small, but Gao Yang assuredly believed this group of people were the most formidable fighters he had ever seen.

Li Jinfang punched one squarely, kicked another directly, but his back was suddenly struck heavily by a foot, causing him to stagger forward. At this juncture, a short individual no taller than 1.6 meters, holding a short knife, appeared poised to embrace Li Jinfang, stabbing furiously at him with the knife.

Li Jinfang frantically blocked a few times, then with another loud roar, clapped both fists together intensely, like clapping hands, hitting the small man squarely on both ears.

Gao Yang recognized this move, one with a name so common it’s unsophisticated: the Twin Wind Through Ears, and it seemed not to be a move within Xingyi Fist.

Gao Yang wanted to use his gun. Lying on the ground, the focus of everyone present was on Li Jinfang. If he drew his gun and started shooting, there was a chance, but he realized the timing was not right, he couldn’t open fire.

There were more than twenty people here. Those Southeast Asians might prefer melee combat or something, so nobody used a gun, but the rest, whether they were black or white, instantly drew their guns, all standing aside, a few directly aiming at Li Jinfang, and two had guns aimed at him.

If Gao Yang opened fire, the enemies would also shoot. Gao Yang’s speed with a gun couldn’t possibly take down all the gun-wielders instantly.

The current situation was favorable because Li Jinfang was engaged in close combat with those Southeast Asians, exchanging positions rapidly, making it easy to accidentally hit someone if shots were fired. The unfavorable part was that Gao Yang and Li Jinfang, no matter what, were surrounded by the enemy. If they fired, they would certainly get shot as well. Angelo’s bodyguards wouldn’t be novices who just learned to shoot.

However, Gao Yang and Li Jinfang still had a chance. The opportunity lay with Eileen and Lucica, as the two of them were not far away when the fight started.
