Chapter 66

Laojun Subduing Demons is a grappling technique in Mizongquan used to counter an opponent's chest-grab attack. Here, Thompson was using a dagger. Yang Xi used her left hand to hold the blade, parrying and supporting Thompson's left hand, which held the dagger, while simultaneously turning her body to the right. She bent her right elbow inward, holding her knife close against her chest. Next, Yang Xi's left arm rotated inward, moving upward, to the left, and then outward, winding and twisting around Thompson's left forearm, pinning it tightly beneath her own left arm so he could not break free. Following that, with a twist of the blade's flat, Yang Xi slashed Thompson's left wrist, stripping him of any combat capability. Having executed only half of Laojun Subduing Demons, this bearded man, Thompson, had one of his hands completely ruined. Thompson was a tough fighter. Even though he had lost his combat capability, he ignored his severed left hand, picked up the dagger with his right hand, and lunged at Yang Xi. With a sharp gaze and quick reflexes, Yang Xi executed the move "Double Winds Piercing the Ears," striking his ears with fists as fast and powerful as a squall. The impact of this strike was immense, instantly knocking Thompson unconscious.
