Chapter 8: Tai Chi Pillars Under The Moonlight

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wolves are not solitary creatures.

At this moment, Cheng Ling, who was standing in place with her crossbow, clearly didn’t see anything, but she could feel that there were countless shadows in the forest in front of her, vaguely hiding murderous intents.

Cheng Ling didn’t dare to act rashly. She only raised her crossbow and made a threatening gesture.

She knew that wolves were very intelligent animals.

Since the wolf that had launched a probing attack earlier had died so easily, it was very likely that the Wolf Pack that was following closely behind would immediately go into hibernation.

They weren’t giving up on their prey, but were definitely waiting for an opportunity. As long as Cheng Ling let down her guard, these countless beasts in the dark would definitely pounce on them and mercilessly devour the four of them!

“Mother, bring Cheng Dani and Cheng Erni up the tree first,” Cheng Ling ordered in a low voice.

Mu Sanniang’s hands were shaking. Before she fell unconscious, she was the pillar of the family. On the road of escape, the three children would listen to her no matter what.

After waking up this time, the usually silent Cheng Ling seemed to have been reborn and suddenly taken the lead.

She was like a real man, taking on the family’s burden in times of danger!

She was clearly the youngest, and she was also a delicate woman.

Mu Sanniang wanted to advise Cheng Ling not to force herself, but she also knew that her delay might bring more trouble to Cheng Ling.

As a result, although her heart was filled with thoughts, she didn’t say anything more.

She just held Cheng Dani and Cheng Erni’s hands and said, “Alright little girls, let’s retreat!”

About two feet to their left, there was a big tree.

Cheng Dani and Cheng Erni were very obedient. The three of them carefully retreated. They had only taken a few steps, but they were already frightened.

When they reached the tree, Mu Sanniang pushed Cheng Erni, and she nimbly climbed up the tree.

She hooked her legs on a tree branch nearly three meters above the ground and hung upside down to pull Cheng Dani. Cheng Erni pulled Cheng Dani’s hand, and behind her Mu was of great help. They quickly climbed up the tree.

The two sisters came to pull Mu Sanniang back. She was worried about Cheng Ling, and the moment they climbed up the tree, she couldn’t help but look back.

At this moment, the branch that Cheng Erni had hooked onto suddenly made a slight cracking sound.

“Mother!” Cheng Erni let out a cry.

Mu quickly hugged the trunk of the tree.

But Cheng Ling, who had heard the commotion behind her, was already affected and couldn’t help but tilt her head slightly.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew.

“Aowu!”

The wolves that had launched their attack at this moment!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Cheng Ling’s crossbow fired at the same time.

This was a composite crossbow from the modern era, which had the function of rapid firing.

The compound crossbow’s quiver could hold five arrows at a time. Cheng Ling had shot one before, and now she had four arrows left. She didn’t hold back at all and released all four arrows at once.

“Wuuu …”

The wolf’s screams were accompanied by the thudding sounds of its body falling to the ground.

Instantly, four more wolf corpses appeared in front of Cheng Ling.

This level of savagery was enough to intimidate the wolves.

Even the carnivorous beasts couldn’t help but feel frightened at this moment. Following the howl of the Alpha Wolf, the rest of the pack sprang out from the grass.

At this moment, the lower half of the moon, which the clouds had hidden, slowly peeked out.

The moonlight poured down, like frost and snow, illuminating the dark forest.

The wolf’s eyes were like green ghost fire under the moonlight, and Cheng Erni’s back was covered in cold sweats. However, she clenched her teeth tightly, afraid that she would make any more noise and hurt Cheng Ling.

It was a silent confrontation.

The five wolves’ carcasses were the most powerful deterrence, causing the pack of wolves to not dare launch another attack.

A wolf was a wolf after all. No matter how smart an animal was, it wouldn’t know that these five arrows were Cheng Ling’s limit.

If she wanted to fire another arrow, she would have to reload. In a confrontation with a beast, it was often just the time to fill the quiver, and it might be able to determine life and death!

Cheng Ling maintained her posture of holding the crossbow, but at the same time, her footsteps and standing posture changed slightly.

In the end, this body’s foundation wasn’t strong enough. After Cheng Ling transmigrated, she had made up for her lack of strength because of her strong spirit and superb skills, and it seemed like her martial arts skills were extraordinary.

But in reality, the power she could unleash now was not even one-tenth of her peak.

During the confrontation with the wolves, the first thing she felt was not the lack of will, but the difficulty of her body.

Her physical strength seemed to have reached its limit!

Cheng Ling’s method was to change a normal standing posture into a standing stance through subtle body movements and slight adjustments to the posture.

Traditional Chinese martial arts practice focused on training the muscles, bones, and skin on the outside, while training one breath on the inside. The importance of training one’s breath internally was even more critical than training one’s bones and skin externally!

Pole-standing was a type of Qi cultivation technique that combined both the inside and outside of the body.

Through exquisite stances, Cheng Ling could not only save physical strength, but she could also combine her strength from the outside to the inside.

Cheng Ling slowly breathed and started visualizing Tai Chi.

She majored in Wing Chun Kung Fu, but the pole-standing that had been building her foundation for a long time was the Tai Chi stance.

The Tai Chi stance was a combination of strength and gentleness, Yin and Yang. It was the authentic Xuanmen. For modern martial artists, practicing martial arts had a health-preserving effect, which could make the martial artist’s life more vigorous and long.

Cheng Ling’s breathing was slow, which was in line with the softness of Tai Chi. However, the current state and atmosphere were actually extremely tense. Danger was imminent, which was in another sense of toughness.

When the softness and hardness became one, Cheng Ling’s state of mind reached a different kind of sublimation in this strange state of danger.

She was no longer in a hurry, but the moonlight in the sky suddenly brightened at this moment.

This level of brightness, to others, might only be due to the moonlight being slightly more luxuriant, which was nothing special.

However, Cheng Ling could clearly feel strange energy flowing from the moonlight.

The energy entered her body through her breathing and pores.

She felt as though she was absorbing the essence of the moonlight.

As soon as she thought of this, Cheng Ling suddenly had an idea.

She raised the branch in her right hand, and the Tai Chi sword’s starting position was in her hand.

In the wolf pack, the alpha wolf seemed to be uneasy. Suddenly, it raised its head slightly and let out a soft howl.

Cheng Ling’s wrist moved, and the branch flew out of her hand. The new force she had just obtained flew along the branch simultaneously.

Under the moonlight, a ray of light cut through the space. Whoosh!

The dried branch was like the sharpest sword in the world, piercing through the alpha wolf’s throat.
