Chapter 159: Tiger Form True Meaning, Exhaustion at the Same Time
The sharp claws on the huge paws have been exposed, targeting Du Ruo's shoulders, while the open mouth is facing Du Ruo's head.
Seeing this, Du Ruo didn't think much about it. He slapped the ground with one hand and then rolled quickly on the ground. This was the most popular and oldest move - the lazy donkey roll.
After rolling a few meters, Du Ruo quickly stood up.
In the situation just now, if the opponent was a human, Du Ruo would definitely use the Xingyiquan's Rabbit Kick Eagle move. The Rabbit Kick Eagle move is the most effective and lethal move to deal with an enemy that pounces on him after he has fallen to the ground.
But if the one that pounced on him was a tiger, and a tiger weighing nearly 600 kilograms, the force of the attack plus the weight of the tiger itself would definitely exceed 1,000 kilograms. Unless Du Ruo used all his strength to kick the tiger to death in one blow, the tiger's teeth were not vegetarian and would definitely make a hole in Du Ruo's head.
Du Ruo wouldn't be stupid enough to kill the tiger, otherwise his days in the mountains would have been wasted.
"Roar~~"
As soon as Du Ruo stood up, the tiger pounced on him. This was the agility of cats. It was still the same pounce, but this time Du Ruo was standing, so the tiger jumped higher as well. It also grabbed his shoulders with its claws and bit his head with its mouth.
This time Du Ruo was down to earth and had no intention of hiding anymore. He came to the tiger to observe it hunting and then learn the spirit of it to promote the progress of Xingyiquan. Did he have to tire the tiger out by hiding all the time?
Du Ruo stands firmly in horse stance, draws in his abdomen and drops his shoulders, sinks his body, and makes palms with his hands. At the same time, "spirit" and "qi" flow into his arms at the same time. He drives his arms with the strength of his waist and suddenly pulls his arms to the side. This is exactly the Xingyi crocodile form with the true meaning of water added.
Du Ruo's hands seemed to be wrapped in water, even causing ripples. His left arm moved the tiger's claws to the left, and his right elbow hit the tiger's neck fiercely.
The force of the tiger's attack plus its own weight was indeed quite strong, but Du Ruo was also firing on all cylinders, and his power was not much less than that of the tiger.
In addition, the crocodile form is famous for its defense. While the true meaning in the water removes all the strength of the tiger, its attack is not weak either. Its right arm and elbow hit the tiger's neck firmly, knocking the tiger away.
The tiger was pushed aside by Du Ruo's crocodile form, but it did not surrender. Its tail swung towards Du Ruo's head like a steel whip.
Tigers have three deadly moves: pounce, bite, and tail swing. Don't underestimate the tail swing. The tails of other animals are mostly used to maintain balance, but only the tiger's tail has powerful attack power.
Due to its size, when its tail swings, its power is not much less than that of a whip.
Facing the tiger's tail, Du Ruo no longer responded with the crocodile form. Instead, he wrapped his left arm around it, used the power of Tai Chi, and pulled the tiger's tail downward with his arm. He then slapped his right hand forward, hitting the tiger's butt. This was exactly the Tai Chi Luo Xi Ao Bu.
However, this time, Du Ruo was hugging not the knees, but the tail.
The most difficult thing about dealing with whip-like weapons is defense, but Tai Chi is an exception, because Tai Chi strength focuses on unloading force. Du Ruo unloads the force of the tiger's tail downward, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about the tiger's tail hitting his face.
Of course, Du Ruo's slap on the tiger's butt was actually a trick. The Luo Xi Ao Bu is not only for defense. This move has a wide range of applications. It can attack while relieving force, and there are many variations of the moves. If Du Ruo had changed the slap on the tiger's butt to a poke, then the tiger could have been killed for a thousand years.
If he had caught the tiger instead of photographing it, Du Ruo might have had an extra pair of tiger whips to make wine. It can be said that the tiger's status as a first-class protected animal gives it a chance to reproduce.
"Roar!!"
The tiger didn't know this. After landing, it turned around and pounced towards Du Ruo again with great agility. At the same time, it roared loudly, as if trying to intimidate Du Ruo.
"Ouch!"
Du Ruo was not willing to be outdone, and also a tiger roar burst out from his mouth. However, this time, Du Ruo added less "spirit" and more "qi". The huge tiger roar also exploded, causing the tiger that pounced on him to pause.
Although the tiger was confused, it did not stop its attack and instinctively pressed its body towards Du Ruo.
Xingyi Bear Form - Tie Shan Kao, Du Ruo lowered his body to avoid the tiger's mouth and claws, put his shoulders under the tiger's upper limbs, and leaned forward suddenly.
"boom!"
With a dull thud, the tiger's huge body was pushed by Du Ruo, and it was completely unable to stand firmly with just its lower limbs. Its huge body fell backwards. At the same time, after Du Ruo's body collided with the tiger, the huge recoil force made Du Ruo's body unable to stand firmly as well, and he took a step back.
"drink!!"
Du Ruo stood firm again, shouted loudly, stomped his feet on the ground, and moved forward again. At the same time, with the help of the force of stomping on the ground, he opened his palms, swung them in a semicircle in the air, and chopped towards the tiger's head.
This is Bajiquan's stomping feet combined with the force of Pi Gua Palm. It is also a very famous move, Baji plus Pi Gua - Tiger Climbing a Mountain.
"boom!!"
Du Ruo hit the tiger's head with his palm, and a dull sound was heard.
"I hope it won't be damaged."
There was no "qi" added to Du Ruo's palm strike just now. It was purely the Baji power plus his own strength. The so-called Baji plus Pi Gua is hard to resist even by gods. Du Ruo's strike just now had a solid impact. For a moment, Du Ruo did not dare to continue attacking, for fear that he would kill the tiger with this strike.
"Woo~"
However, Du Ruo obviously underestimated the tiger's physique. He shook his head and growled, and the tiger stood up again.
"It's good that you're okay. Come on, let's continue." Seeing this, Du Ruo was naturally happy. The few moves he just fought made his whole body excited. This huge tiger was an evenly matched opponent. Unless Du Ruo used a killing move, it would be really difficult to subdue the opponent.
So Du Ruo was prepared for a protracted war, and he planned to defeat the tiger forcefully.
"Whoosh~"
Who would have thought that the tiger had no martial ethics at all. Knowing it couldn't win, it turned around and ran backwards quickly, as if Du Ruo's palm just now had woken it up from its anger.
Fighting with Du Ruo won't give you any advantage and will just waste your energy, so just run away if you can't beat him.
Du Ruo was unable to react for a moment. He did not expect that the tiger, which had been so majestic just now, would actually want to escape.
And the tiger really did as Uncle Xiong said. With one pounce and one leap, it actually ran nearly ten feet away.
"You want to run away now? It's not that easy!"
Du Ruo stared at the fleeing tiger and, exerting the same force on his hips, pounced forward in the Xingyi tiger posture.
The tiger ran in front and Du Ruo followed behind.
A tiger can run at a speed of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour at full speed, and can even reach 75 kilometers per hour at top speed. What does that mean? It can run about 21 meters per second.
Bolt's fastest speed can only reach meters per second.
To be honest, at this speed, if Du Ruo did not have the "Qi" to protect his body joints, and if Du Ruo did not have a physique that exceeded the limits of the human body, and the power generation method of Xingyi Tiger form, Du Ruo might not even be able to see the tiger's tail.
Now all Du Ruo could do was to run as fast as he could, trying to keep up with the tiger in front of him without slowing down.
Du Ruo burst out at his full speed, but was still a little behind the tiger. Du Ruo had no choice but to open his eyes wide and concentrate on catching the tiger's strength and changes in shape when running, while adjusting his body at the same time.
Let yourself imitate while you are on the road.
Gradually, Du Ruo's speed began to increase. Although he couldn't surpass the tiger, he was not left behind either.
And as Du Ruo ran at full speed, his body became lower and lower, and red mist began to rush out of his body. Slowly, Du Ruo's body was wrapped in the red mist.
Du Ruo began to put his arms on the ground, and his body strength became consistent with that of the tiger. The red mist around his body also began to change, taking the shape of a tiger.
Nearly two hours passed in this chase.
“Puff~whoosh…bang!!”
The tiger in front was running slower and slower when it was tripped by a fallen dead tree. Suddenly its feet went soft and it failed to brake. Its whole body rubbed against the ground and eventually slid about ten meters before hitting a tree and stopping.
This sudden change made Du Ruo, who was completely immersed in imitating the tiger, unable to react. He was tripped by the same tree in the same posture, and then slipped into the tiger's arms in the same posture.
"!!!"
The fallen tiger and Du Ruo looked at each other. The tiger was lying on the ground with its back against a tree. Du Ruo was on his back and after dragging for a while, he lay on the tiger's belly. The red mist around his body had completely dissipated.
"Woooo!!"
The tiger raised its head and looked at Du Ruo who was lying on his belly. It made a threatening sound in its throat and gasped like a bellows. Even its roar was trembling slightly.
He wanted to grab Du Ruo with his claws, but when he raised his trembling claws, he could only eject his sharp claws and place them on Du Ruo's body. He didn't have the strength to attack at all.
No matter how strong the tiger is, it cannot withstand running at such a high speed for nearly two hours.
Du Ruo did the same, lying on the tiger's body. In an instant, all the pores on his body opened, and a large amount of sweat came out of the pores like rain, even wetting the tiger's hair under him.
My hands and legs began to shake and tremble uncontrollably.
Originally, Du Ruo had run nearly 80 kilometers round trip just to send Dahua back to the village, but that was not Du Ruo's maximum speed, and it took nearly two hours to run 80 kilometers.
But just now, Du Ruo exploded to his limit, and the "qi" in his body was continuously consumed. It was not only used to protect the joints from injury, but also to maintain the tiger shape. He ran nearly 160 kilometers in two hours. Even an iron body could not withstand such consumption.
This was all thanks to the Hunyuan Qigong that Du Ruo practiced. When the "Qi" was insufficient, the essence and spirit were transformed and began to make up for the loss of "Qi", which is how he was able to hold on until now.
"Gurgle gurgle~~ha~~"
The Hunyuan Yi Qigong in Du Ruo's body was running wildly. After his "qi" was restored a little, Du Ruo took out a bottle of tiger bone wine from the backpack behind him and gulped down a pound of tiger bone wine in one breath. Fortunately, the wine was in a mineral water bottle, otherwise the wine would have been ruined by the fall.
After Du Ruo finished drinking the tiger bone wine, his five internal organs worked together to transport the medicine and his body quickly began to recover. However, the tiger was still like a lazy cat, lying on the ground and unable to get up.
