The uncle did not move, appearing somewhat impatient.
Old Mo replied to his messages, not even bothering to look at the guy.
So, I had to step in.
Seeing the martial arts instructor swing his staff at me, I simply sidestepped.
I caught the staff he swung, with a grab.
I caught it steadily, with one hand still tucked in my pocket.
This sight instantly bewildered the martial arts instructor.
He was the provincial martial arts champion, and had also trained in Sanda, winning awards.
With one strike of his staff, let alone catching it with a single hand.
Most people couldn't even see it, and if they tried to catch it forcefully, their bones would surely be broken.
But now, it was firmly caught by me.
He couldn't even budge the staff, as if it were clamped tightly in a vice, which shocked him immensely.
He even dared not believe it.
The crew members around were also dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, this guy caught a blade bare-handed?"
"No way! Brother Niu has real skills. He caught that staff with just one hand?"
"Is it real? That guy's movements were so fast earlier, he just flashed past."
"..."
Just as everyone was astonished.
The martial arts instructor, feeling his reputation tarnished, let out a muffled roar and kicked towards me.
But his movements were slower than a snail in front of me.
With a kick, the martial arts instructor was sent flying over three meters away with a "bang."
Even those around didn't see my kicking motion.
Silence.
A deathly silence.
The more than a hundred people present widened their eyes, all doubting if they had seen correctly.
The most formidable martial arts instructor in the entertainment industry, Brother Niu, was kicked flying.
After a few seconds.
The crowd finally reacted.
"Damn, Brother Niu was kicked flying."
"So powerful!"
"Brother Niu was no match. He's a martial arts champion, a Sanda master."
"..."
Just as everyone was shocked and hadn't recovered,
A muffled "clang" echoed from not far away. The crane, suspended by steel cables, suddenly malfunctioned.
A support pillar fractured.
This caused the crane to instantly lose balance and tilt sideways with a "sizzling" sound.
And on the crane, there was still an actor hanging.
This sudden turn of events drew everyone's attention.
Immediately someone shouted:
"Oh no, the crane is going to fall!"
"Move, everyone move aside!"
The crane began to tilt, gradually falling towards the crowd.
The actor hanging from the steel cable happened to be Li Shiyao.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, she screamed in fear, "Ah!"
"Ah! Run!"
"It's over, Shiyao is still up there!"
"..."
The crowd instantly became chaotic, scattering in all directions.
Li Shiyao, suspended in mid-air, was already pale with fear.
And I also noticed this scene.
Seeing the crane about to tip over, and Li Shiyao about to fall.
Without a second thought, I raised my cultivation with all my might.
My body shot out with a "whoosh."
My speed was extreme, like the wind, flashing past the martial arts instructor Brother Niu and weaving through the crowd.
Just before the crane toppled and hit the ground, I leaped up.
I flew to embrace Li Shiyao, but the crane was still tipping. The boom was over ten meters long; if it fell on the crowd, it could cause casualties.
I had no time to think, nor did I hesitate.
Channeling my cultivation, I struck the falling boom with a palm.
This palm unleashed all my cultivation.
The terrifying power of the Xuan Dan peak realm.
With a "bang" of Qi impact, the palm directly struck the falling boom.
The boom, which was about to smash into the crowd, was hit by my palm.
With a "crack," it instantly shifted course and fell towards a vacant area on the other side.
Finally, with a "boom," it heavily impacted the ground.
And I, holding Li Shiyao, landed successfully.
But faintly, I sensed a chilling ghost qi around me.
However, I hadn't opened my celestial eyes when I arrived, so I didn't directly see any spirits.
When I observed the surroundings again, that aura had vanished...
Li Shiyao was still shaken, but seeing me in front of her, she was overjoyed:
"Qin, Qin Ze!"
"It's me, are you hurt!"
I smiled and released Li Shiyao.
At this moment, the more than a hundred actors and extras around were stunned.
They all stared at me as if I were a monster, then looked at the several tons of crane and boom lying on the ground.
"How, how did he do that?"
"He, he jumped, jumped six or seven meters high just now?"
"He, he also, with one palm, flipped a heavy crane!"
"This, this isn't filming, is it?"
"..."
For a moment, the worldview of hundreds of people present was shattered.
Such a scene completely redefined their perceptions.
It was more terrifying than watching a sci-fi movie...
Li Shiyao also recovered:
"I, I'm fine. You saved me again."
Li Shiyao's face was filled with gratitude.
I smiled.
At the same time, Old Mo and my uncle walked over.
They both nodded at Li Shiyao. My uncle then stared coldly at the crane not far away.
Concurrently, the director, several staff members, including Li Shiyao's agent, rushed over.
"Shiyao, Shiyao, are you alright?"
"Shiyao, I'm so sorry to have frightened you!"
"..."
Li Shiyao was a second-tier star now, with rising popularity. If she were to have an accident on set.
The negative impact on the "Tian Yao" crew would be significant, potentially affecting future box office revenue.
Li Shiyao shook her head:
"Director Li, Hong Jie, I'm fine. This is my friend Qin Ze."
Li Shiyao's agent finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Li also thanked me repeatedly:
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, thank you, Mr. Qin."
Meanwhile, a counselor nearby was yelling at the props department,
"What the hell are you doing, letting the crane fall? Do you even want to work anymore?"
At the same time, the martial arts instructor Brother Niu, who had been sent flying earlier, was now utterly terrified.
Watching me flip the crane with one palm and leap six or seven meters to save Li Shiyao.
Then recalling his rash actions earlier, he was covered in a cold sweat.
He felt as if he had just walked through the gates of hell...
