quickly replied Ian. - This is what is it? - Interested Zhang. - Made of copper, iron and wood. The rest, I can win. - In my retinue thirty - said Zhang - The best of them, Liu can raise three hundred pounds. Do not want to fight him? - Of course I do. sent for Liu. Legend has it that he was "rushed, produced a gust of wind," and looked like an angry tiger. As he approached the Yana, who sent him into the void with his right hand and gently pushed left. Suddenly Liu flew ten feet like a kite that has broken rope. Zhang clapped his hands and said with a laugh: "But Tai Chi is really an amazing feat." He ordered a servant to a sumptuous lunch and from that moment turned to Jan to as "Grand Master." Ian was a master of the spear. He could pick up light objects delicately touching the tip of the spear, using its "sticky energy", and never wrong. If the event of a fire, it brings down the wall with the spear to keep the fire flare up. He sent out arrows do not bow, and just throwing hands, and always missed the mark.Guanpine The city Yang started the match on the city wall. His opponent stepped to the edge of the wall and lost his balance and began to fall down. At this critical moment, Yang jumped, covering about five yards away, and managed to grab opponent's foot, what saved his life. His agility demonstrated in peaceful situations. Rainy day, Ian was sitting in the room when his daughter went up to the porch with a copper basin in hand. Not having to open the door, she oskolznulas. Ian flew out and picked it up so fast that the water is not splashed. When Ian was in Beijing, one boxer was left of his title of "having no rivals," and he called John. Ian said, smiling: - Since you insist on a fight, I will allow you to hit me three times.Here defied dealt a terrible blow to Jan's stomach. Ian laughing, threw the force of his belly opponent to the ground. Next day Ian was fishing on the bank of the river. Passed by two. They went above and behind Ian. The two were boxers, they knew and feared John, but wanted to "stained his reputation", pitting stealthily into the water. They approached stealthily.But Yang, who had a special hearing, already prepared. Taking the position of "high touch the horse," Yan looked back, dropped his head and threw two travelers in the water.
