Here is a chopping combination found in the first road of the Liu He Tanglangquan form 藏 花 Cáng Huā (Hidden Flower):

插 拿 手 Piercing & Seizing Hand - chā ná shǒu
Raise the right heel off the ground with only the right toes making contact with the ground while lifting the palms to shoulder height and separating the hands, then bring the palms outward and downward to waist height. Spring off the left foot while stepping the right foot forward and thrust the hands forward with the right hand in the lead position. The left palm is pressed against the right forearm. This movement represents a left outward block and a right simultaneous finger thrust to the opponent’s throat.

封 劈 掌 Seal & Chopping Palm - fēng pī zhǎng
Swing both arms downward to the left side of the body in a clockwise motion, then swing both arms upward and forward while shuffling the right foot forward. The left hand leads the forward movement to clear the way for the right chop. Both hands stop at mid-level. This movement represents a left wrist grab and a right downward knife-edge palm strike if the opponent blocks the finger thrust to the throat in the previous pattern.
