Chapter 238: 【129】Inhuman Destructive Power
The Yokozuna, Cyan Dragon Mount Tai, stood motionless, his small eyes fixed intently on Wang Longhu.
He was a top sumo wrestler, and his raw power was such that even cattle and horses couldn't withstand his charge. Cyan Dragon Mount Tai had even undergone a test, where he managed to forcibly lift a Mazda car solely with the strength of his hands.
Within ten steps, Cyan Dragon Mount Tai could execute the fastest and most ferocious tackle, but beyond this distance, it was no longer his strong point.
As a sumo wrestler, being tall, massive, and robust was the best criteria, with the most ordinary sumo wrestlers weighing over 200kg.
Cyan Dragon Mount Tai was no exception. Even after retirement, through exercise, he maintained his weight at a staggering 242kg.
This weight ensured his collision and slam power, but at the same time, excessive weight brought about one thing.
That was a lack of endurance for Cyan Dragon Mount Tai; he excelled only in instantaneous bursts of power.
Thus, in dealing with Wang Longhu, he couldn't afford to strike proactively. He needed to wait for Wang Longhu to come to him.
Contrary to Cyan Dragon Mount Tai's reactive strategy, Sodaimura Yujiro, at the drop of Yagyu Ito's words, instantly dashed out. With large strides leveraging his strength, he unleashed a flying kick mid-air towards Wang Longhu.
This flying kick was incredibly fast, and even though Wang Longhu, now a Huajin Grandmaster, had to take Sodaimura Yujiro's attack seriously.
After all the assassins of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, known as the club devil, arrow demon, and undead monsters, were killed by Wang Longhu, Yagyu Ito had understood Wang Longhu's prowess.
Naturally, the helpers he found thereafter could not be weak.
It could be said that Cyan Dragon Mount Tai and Sodaimura Yujiro represented the top-tier combatants of the Martial Arts World on Japan Island, where they were regarded as a minority of elite fighters called seniors by other martial artists.
Wang Longhu sunk his legs and took a Xingyi Boxing stance, facing Sodaimura Yujiro's flying kick without intending to dodge, but instead, he unhesitatingly punched out with a Bear Form Cannon Fist!
Boom!
Wang Longhu's punch was like a cannonball firing from its chamber, erupting a thunderous explosion from flat ground, earsplitting.
Sodaimura Yujiro's expression slightly changed, showing shock.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. At the moment Wang Longhu punched, the air in front seemed to produce transparent ripples, akin to water surface undulations.
Sonic boom? Or airburst?
Top fighters possess a Lingxi Premonition. Sodaimura Yujiro quickly exerted secondary force, his entire leg instantly bulging several rounds thicker, causing his dress pants' trouser leg to rip open, revealing the muscular thigh underneath.
This leg was now extremely dark, a manifestation of a martial artist deploying their Inner Strength to its limit.
Boom!
Upon contact, Sodaimura Yujiro flew backward, whirling through the air like a windmill for several spins before dissipating the force, landing stably, appearing evenly matched with Wang Longhu.
But an observant person could see that Sodaimura Yujiro's thigh that executed the flying kick had extensive vascular rupture, with crimson blood beads seeping from the skin, indicative of damaged meridians.
"This person's leg techniques are among the world's top-tier," Wang Longhu couldn't help but admire inside, feeling his own numb arm.
If he hadn't already mastered the robust Huajin powers combining overt and covert strength, this arm might have been directly broken by Sodaimura Yujiro's kick.
To put it bluntly, if Sodaimura Yujiro were to kick a cement wall, that cement wall couldn't withstand his powerful flying kick.
Yagyu Ito's gaze was sharp. As a well-known warrior of the Treasure House style, he had crossed paths with Sodaimura Yujiro in the past.
Karate, as one of the six major combat arts worldwide, stands alongside Muay Thai, Maga, Sambo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, recognized universally as a martial art for all people.
Karate is a phonetic translation from Japan Island, originating from indigenous martial arts and Ryukyu Tang Hand, encompassing techniques like kicking, punching, slamming, grappling, throwing, locking, twisting, and pinpointing.
Among the four main Karate styles currently widespread on Japan Island, the most expansive is the Shotokan style founded by its creator Gichin Funakoshi, holding 80% of the market share in fighting scenarios in countries like the UK, France, the US, and Germany.
Besides the mainstream four Karate styles, among renowned Karate masters on Japan Island, there's one figure who must be mentioned.
That is — Great Mountain Pedda, the founder of Kyokushin Karate, originally Korean with the original name Cui Yongyi, who regularized to Japan in 1964.
This person, as a disciple of Gichin Funakoshi, had already become a 4th Dan black belt at the age of 20,
With a personal record of being undefeated against martial artists from over thirty countries, later becoming the founder of Kyokushin Karate. To elevate Japan Island's Karate realm, he proposed abandoning sectarian biases, allowing powerful contestants from all styles to participate in the All-Japan Championships hosted by the Kyokushin Association, where Karate experts gathered to advance in their pursuits.
This initiative was tantamount to gathering the elite martial artists from Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, and the Emei Sect together to share their skills, a quite significant achievement.
Therefore, Great Mountain Pedda is subtly regarded as the Father of Karate.
The live fight footage of Great Mountain Pedda has been documented; in 1950, he fought fifty-two bulls, killing three with hand chops, while the other forty-nine had their horns chopped off by Great Mountain Pedda with the side of his hand. In 1952, he went to the US to teach Karate across various locations, consecutively defeating 270 top fighters from all major styles worldwide, with nearly no one able to withstand his attacks.
