Duel [2]

"Uh-oh, Grandpa, you're wasting my wine." Donghai Lin said briskly as he saw the older man toss the Wine Gourd, spilling on the floor.

Then he wobbled precariously toward it in his drunken haste as if he would trip on the next step.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Lin dashed and punched him in the stomach. But Donghai Lin mysteriously dodged it as if it was some coincidence.

'Hmph! You're lucky this time.' Patriarch Lin Ren thought in his head and rained down a barrage his punches on him.

Just like before, little Donghai Lin evaded his punches as if he was inadvertently avoiding all the barrages of punches.

Like that, a few minutes passed, and Patriarch Lin Ren became more and more surprised as he couldn't even touch a single hair of his grandson.

Then he wondered while he kept continuing his punches, 'No, I'm wrong about my previous speculation. He is dodging all of my intricate series of tiger paw punches according to his whim. Hmm, his technique is really strange. Unlike all the martial arts I have seen and am aware of, there is no rhythm in his movement and I can't read and predict any of his next moves. Really bizarre. Find let me use a tad bit of my Qi and see where this fight led to.'

Just after that Patriarch Lin took multiple steps back, then he released a trace of essence Qi to each of his palms, covering them with a hue of golden color.

Then he dashed again and engaged in another bout with little Donghai Lin. This time, Patriarch Lin Ren was way faster and was about to hit the little fella.

But at that moment, little Donghai deflected his punches with his powerful wrists and even started a counter-attack, using the gripping technique of the flute immortal while aiming for Lin Ren's elbow and armpits.

"Ouch!" Lin Ren blurted out a soft moan of pain as little Donghai Lin's one of his gripping techniques afflicted an attack on his elbow and he used his movement technique for the first time to avoid Little Donghai Lin's other attacks.

'Hmm, nice one. That's one weird but lethal attack.' Patriarch Lin Ren thought in his head, praising his grandson.

"Good, Dong Er! This is my first time seeing such a weird technique. Care to share the name of this technique?" He asked.

"Grandpa, there is nothing weird about my martial technique. Hic!" Little Donghai Lin replied as he hiccuped. He then wobbled precariously toward the dull-looking Wine Gourd, picked it up, and gulped down another long shot of the wine and he stopped, wincing.

He then added, "Only the taste is the problem of this wine. Hic!"

Then he sealed its mouth with the cork and placed it gently over the ground.

After that, he walked toward the old Patriarch and answered, "Grandpa, I haven't named this technique yet. But it is a set of eight drunken styles, with each style having its own perks and disadvantages. And the style I just used on you is the flute gripping technique."

"Grandpa, this fight is becoming tedious for me. Why don't we fight for real? I mean, I want you to open up your entire cultivation base so that I can enjoy this little spar. Hic-hic!" Donghai Lin suggested as he hiccupped twice.

"Hmph! As if you are worth that much. Since you look down even to learn any of our family's techniques, then I'll use our family's strongest technique to defeat you." Patriarch Lin Ren scoffed as he snorted and then he shouted, "Tiger Sprint Movement technique, Dash!"

In the next instant, he appeared beside Donghai Lin and made a clawing motion, aiming for his chest.

"So fast. Brilliant!" Donghai Lin said and then he swayed his waist in a feminine posture and avoided the claws. And he repeated dodging the incessant swift attack of the Old Patriarch Lin by swaying his ways, which was the technique of Immortal Lan Caihi* with the strange feminine postures.

"Pong!" And he even counterattacked as Little Donghai Lin appeared in a sneaky way and gave a butt-bumping on the Old Patriarch's rear.

Then the next thing, Little Donghai bent his upper body down, making a donkey's poster, and kicked his legs, pressing his shoe marks of dirt over the Old Patriarch's twin rear each.

Patriarch Lin Ren caressed his butts and ranted, "Lad, what's with that sissy style, and don't you have other techniques which don't include kicking my behind?"

Then he suddenly realized something and asked, giving a serious expression: "Y-y-you, don't tell me you are a damn sissy?"

"Oh, come on, Gramp…. Stop being so presumptuous. That's just a martial technique. I even have another more powerful technique, which I told myself not to use in this life because it is ridiculous, and I would become a laughingstock of the masses, even though I am apathetic to them. Hic!" Donghai Lin responded as if he was almost about to trip because of the drunkenness. He was talking about the drunken style of the sole lady Immortal He Xiangu which included mostly twisting her body and flirting.

"And about your ache on your butt is only because of your recklessness. You deserve it for not listening to my early warning. Now, do you mind bringing out some of your trump cards up your sleeve? Or do I need to make more of my footprints over your behinds?" Donghai Lin said with a goofy grin.

This time his adorable-looking goofy grin got the better of Old Patriarch Lin Ren and said with a determined expression. "Fine by me. Now I'm going to kick your little arse, anyhow."

Then he made several hand gestures in the air along with his strange foot movements and yelled at the top of his lung, "Tai-Chi Style!"

Using his movement technique, Patriarch Lin Ren appeared in front of little Donghai Lin and gave a series of palm strikes at him... (please, stay tuned!)
