Chapter 34 Martial Arts
Chapter 34 Martial Arts
The entire Jiang family, numbering over a hundred, was wiped out, from centenarians to three-year-old infants.
That's unbelievable! It's simply unbelievable.
This is truly shocking.
The entire upper class of Xia Kingdom was shaken. The Jiang family, a huge clan, had been wiped out without warning.
There were many different opinions and various interpretations.
Without even a second thought, it must have been done by someone from the martial arts world.
The Jiang family wields immense influence both domestically and internationally. Of the world's top 1,000 industries, the Jiang family owns 50, and the assets of any one of them are comparable to those of a small Western country.
Ordinary forces cannot bring down the Jiang family.
Not to mention they slaughtered the entire Jiang family, including all nine generations of their relatives.
Only powerful martial artists in the martial arts world can do that.
However, for some reason, after the Jiang family massacre, the Xia Kingdom's high-level officials completely blocked the matter, forbidding anyone from interfering.
"Those who do many evil deeds will surely bring about their own downfall. I said before that the Jiang family, who were used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly both domestically and internationally, and selling state secrets, would eventually bring about their own demise. Now it has truly come true!"
"Exactly! The Xia Kingdom's top leadership is making an example of someone to scare the rest. This is a strong deterrent to other powerful business families. No matter how much power they wield, anyone who dares to betray their country will face certain death!"
For a time, all the major families in the Xia Kingdom were talking about it.
At this moment, Yun Chen had already returned home.
On his way home, he bought Qin Xi some of her favorite fruits from back then, as well as the delicious food she craved in the middle of the night when she was pregnant and had a craving for pigs.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were still fast asleep, he did not disturb them, but instead used the time to send his parents' information to that email address.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room, where his wife Qin Xi and daughter Xiao Yaoyao were still fast asleep.
On the soft bed, Qin Xi's long, beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly as she woke from her sweet dream. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Yun Chen's handsome and charming face.
Last night, Yun Chen whispered a lot to her and showed her many amazing magical techniques and supernatural abilities, such as the Art of Manipulating Objects, the Art of Immobilization, the Art of Transformation, the Art of Flying Swords, the Art of Earth Escape, and various supernatural abilities of the Five Elements. These are the most basic skills that cultivators need to master, and they basically need to learn them when they reach the Qi Refining Realm.
Finally, Yun Chen asked her, "Do you want to learn how to cultivate immortality?"
Qin Xi nodded solemnly and agreed without hesitation, but said, "Husband, you've only been back for a short time, Yao Yao was just saved by you, and I've only just recovered from my illness. Cultivating immortality shouldn't be rushed, right? I want us to live a normal life for a while first!"
Yun Chen agreed, which was also what he wanted to say. Now that he had just returned, the most important thing was for the family to reunite and live a good life together.
As for getting my wife to learn cultivation techniques, that's something for another time.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Yun Chen, and a smile instantly bloomed on Qin Xi's beautiful face. She felt a surge of happiness and security. She sat up slightly and reached out her long, slender hands to Yun Chen: "Husband, give me a hug!"
Yun Chen reached out and pulled Qin Xi into his arms.
It's like holding a child.
Three years have passed. Although Qin Xi has matured a lot, she hasn't changed much in Yun Chen's eyes. She is still the same obedient, sensible, innocent, and kind-hearted fool she was back then.
The two embraced and clung to each other tightly until little Yao Yao in the blankets opened her eyes and woke up, only then did they separate.
Yun Chen picked up Xiao Yaoyao and said to Qin Xi, "Wife, you change your clothes first. I'll take Yaoyao to wash up. After lunch, I'll take you and the two of you out for a walk!"
Qin Xi nodded, her face showing anticipation.
After Yun Chen took Yao Yao to wash up, he carried her to the dining table, where Qin Hong and Su Lan had already prepared breakfast.
Qin Xi also changed her clothes and washed up before coming over.
The family sat down to eat breakfast and chat. Mr. and Mrs. Qin couldn't help but ask about the middle-aged man from that morning.
After Yun Chen returned, their perceptions continued to change, and they felt that the man was more than just a leader!
Yun Chen told them about what was going on in the martial arts world.
Qin Hong was not surprised at all by this.
However, it was still quite surprising.
"He's actually a martial arts master!!"
Qin Hong didn't know how powerful a martial arts grandmaster really was; he just felt that the title sounded extraordinary. After all, for an ordinary person like him, knowing about the existence of the martial arts world was already the pinnacle.
Yun Chen said, "Dad, after I take Xiao Xi and Yao Yao out for a trip, I'll teach you a breathing technique. You can try it every morning to feel the energy of heaven and earth!"
Yun Chen could see that the spiritual energy on Blue Star was thin, but he could still capture it by using a simple breathing technique.
Qin Hong was very much looking forward to it, after all, he was now very clear about his physical condition and could keenly sense many extraordinary and unusual things, just like he had become a psychic!
Su Lan wasn't interested in any of that, but she was quite satisfied with her new house and planned to add some suitable furniture. She had always been someone who paid attention to life and knew how to manage her finances. What interested her was how to maintain her appearance and reduce aging.
During the three years that Yun Chen was missing, the couple moved in with Qin Xi and Yao Yao. They had to take care of both the older and younger children. Even Qin Hong quit his job and gave up the opportunity for promotion.
It wasn't too hard for them.
At least they now have leisure time to live peacefully.
After breakfast, Yun Chen carried Xiao Yaoyao in one arm and held Qin Xi, who was all dressed up, in the other hand before heading out.
Little Yao Yao's face was beaming with joy and happiness: "Grandpa and Grandma, Yao Yao went out to play with Mom and Dad. We'll play with you again when we get back!"
The family went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and left.
Qin Xi had already planned out today's itinerary: "We'll go see a movie first, and after the movie it'll be around noon. After lunch, we'll take Yao Yao to the amusement park for two hours, and then we can go to the zoo!"
Along the way, Qin Xi took many photos with her phone, wishing she could record every moment. This was the first time the family of three had gone out to play since they were reunited.
This is happiness and warmth that we haven't experienced for many years.
They went to the nearest movie theater to watch an old movie that has been popular for over a hundred years: Kung Fu Hustle, directed by Stephen Chow, which remains popular even in the 22nd century.
Only a few people truly understand this.
That wasn't a martial arts movie at all, but a documentary that realistically reflected the state of the martial arts world in Xia Kingdom.
Whether it's Coolie Qiang's Twelve-Road Tan Leg, the Tailor's Hung Gar Iron Wire Fist, Ah Gui's Five-Element Eight Trigrams Staff, the Landlady's Shaolin Lion's Roar, the Landlord's Internal Martial Arts Tai Chi, Tian Can and Di Can's Guzheng Sound Waves, or the Fire Cloud Evil God's Toad Style... and the Tathagata Palm that the protagonist finally masters, all those martial arts are real.
Perhaps the effects shown in the film are special effects, but in reality, martial arts masters who have truly mastered these martial arts techniques to the highest level can also achieve this, and their skills may even be more exaggerated than what is shown in the film.
Yun Chen smiled as he watched the fight scene in the film.
He couldn't help but think of the three Xuan-rank martial artists from that morning.
In comparison, the strength of those three was similar to that of Coolie Strong, Tailor, and Agui. They were all masters of internal energy. However, they struggled against Earth-rank masters like Tiancan and Dican, who could project their external qi into sonic attacks, and thus ultimately met a tragic end.
As Qin Xi watched the fight scenes in the film, her beautiful eyes sparkled with thought. Every now and then, she leaned her head on Yun Chen's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Compared to the martial artists you've talked about, who's more powerful?"
Yun Chen said, "Reality will only be more exaggerated than this!"
Qin Xi blinked her big eyes, looking surprised.
"Ah Xing is amazing! He fought so many people all by himself and stepped on their toes!!" Little Yao Yao was thrilled. Her round little face was full of excitement as she sat between the couple, her little fists clenched tightly.
"Ah Xing is amazing! He stepped on the toad's toe!!"
Even after the movie ended, little Yao Yao was still clenching her little fists, waving them excitedly.
