Starting from the pharmacy, he grew into a martial saint among men.

It turned out that the moment he grabbed Zhou Mingrui, his view was also mostly blocked by Zhou Mingrui.

Just then, a figure appeared from behind like a ghost.

A powerful, penetrating internal force coursed through Chu Hong's palm, striking Zheng Yuan's chest directly.

In haste, Zheng Yuan hurriedly blocked with his arm.

However, with one hand countered by Zhou Mingrui, he could only defend with the other.

Chu Hong did not engage in a prolonged fight. Instead of striking the chest or abdomen, he suddenly lowered his body and punched the arm that Zhou Mingrui was holding back.

"when!"

A dull, metallic clang rang out.

It turns out that Zheng Yuan also practiced a type of external martial arts.

But the hidden force is no ordinary thing; even physical strength cannot completely block it. In an instant, a force invades its body, causing widespread destruction.

In excruciating pain, Zheng Yuan let out a scream and instinctively released his grip.

He was shocked and furious, and retreated several steps, trying to create distance and regain his stance.

He knew that the two had exhausted themselves in their previous fight, and that as long as he was careful in the next round, he would be able to defeat them.

But he didn't expect that the two of them had already reserved their strength.

One person might not be able to defeat him, but with two powerful individuals working together, the odds of victory immediately increase several times over.

At this moment, Zhou Mingrui gave him no chance to catch his breath. The instant his wrist was freed, he used the pulling force to twist his waist.

Suddenly, his gaze swept towards Zheng Yuan's lower body.

With perfect coordination, Chu Hong spun through the air in the blink of an eye, his right leg, carrying a cold glint, cleaving down like a mountain-splitting axe towards Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan's legs suddenly took root, allowing him to withstand Zhou Mingrui's blow.

His leg bones jolted violently, and he lost his balance.

But before he could even stand still, Chu Hong's leg was already upon him, and he could only cross his arms to meet the kick.

"when!"

The deafening sound echoed through the valley.

Zheng Yuan was suppressed by immense force, and the rubble beneath him shattered instantly.

My already injured right arm was hit hard again.

But he didn't scream. Instead, he gritted his teeth, his inner strength surging, preparing to counterattack.

The two sides exchanged blows several more times, each punch landing hard and causing injuries to both sides.

Zheng Yuan grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, a profound sense of confusion rising within him.

Weren't the two of them exhausted? Why do they still have so much energy now?

And why do the two cooperate so closely, as if they were one person?

It's really puzzling.

But he didn't have time to think, because Zhou Mingrui had already circled around to his side, leaped up, and interrupted his momentum with a back-mountain lean.

Chu Hong reacted even faster, suddenly gathering power in his right fist, the fist carrying heavy force, and striking Zheng Yuan's face directly.

Just as Zheng Yuan was about to get up, he saw the fist rapidly enlarging in front of him, and for the first time, a real sense of death welled up in his heart.

He turned his head to dodge, while simultaneously activating his external martial arts technique for defense.

But Chu Hong's technique was extremely fast. The fist that was about to hit the left shoulder suddenly changed direction and landed on the unsuspecting right shoulder.

"puff!"

A dull thud rang out, followed by a crisp cracking sound from Zheng Yuan's right scapula. His bones snapped, and his right side went numb.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the entire right arm was now useless.

His body flew backward like a tattered sack, sliding to the ground and crushing countless plants.

At this moment, Chu Hong and Zhou Mingrui ignored everything else and rushed forward, ready to unleash another killing move.

Having gone through this ordeal, Zheng Yuan now knew that the two had been feigning weakness.

If I stay any longer, I will definitely find it difficult to achieve anything.

It would be better to leave as soon as possible and find someone else to take the card.

He dared not linger there any longer. Before the two could get close, he sprang up and fled into the distance.

Chu Hong estimated the time, but did not pursue further. He simply stood there, a grin spreading across his face.

"Brother Zheng, you should stay!"

Zheng Yuan hadn't noticed anything amiss until he finished speaking.

After running several more meters, he realized that he was dizzy and weak, and exclaimed that something was wrong.

next moment.

With a thud, his body went limp and collapsed to the ground.

"Oh no, where did this medicine come from!"

He had no idea when he had been hit.

He was already being very careful.

The dust settled, and the valley was deathly silent.

A gentle breeze carried the scent of blood far away.

Chu Hong's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground without any regard for his image, feeling weak and powerless.

Zhou Mingrui fell backward, looking up at the sky and panting heavily, but a relieved and relieved smile appeared on his lips.

The two of them quietly adjusted their breathing for a long time before they were able to recover some of their strength.

They exchanged a glance, and a hoarse laugh drifted on the wind, carrying a sense of unbridled joy.

"Brother Zhou, in this contest, I have ultimately prevailed by a slight margin!"

Chu Hong helped himself to his feet, walked up to Zhou Mingrui, extended his right hand, and teased him with a smile.

Zhou Mingrui turned to look at Chu Hong, grasped his hand tightly, and used the leverage to stand up:

"Alright, alright, you win. Just leave me some identity tokens later!"

A battle fought side by side speaks louder than a thousand words.

The two quickly took out dry food to replenish their losses and swallowed the simple medicine balls made by Chu Hong.

These pills haven't undergone multiple meticulous processing steps, so their efficacy is actually quite poor.

Both of them had serious injuries, and the pills had some effect, which was better than nothing.

Moreover, the martial arts competition is not over yet.

If someone else comes to snatch it, given their current condition, they might not be able to win.

Therefore, only by stabilizing the injury as soon as possible and quickly restoring combat strength can we safeguard our gains and achieve fame and success.

While the two were cleaning up the mess and recovering their strength,

The people on the training ground outside the mountain had lost count of how many times their minds had been shaken.

They discovered that from Zheng Yuan's appearance to his defeat, it seemed that every step he took was within the calculations of the martial arts duo.

In particular, the hidden medicinal powder in the bag was a hidden weapon that was difficult to guard against.

No one would have expected that Chu Hong would have sprinkled medicine powder in his luggage, and that Zheng Yuan would fall for it.

Some people secretly sighed, feeling that Zheng Yuan had underestimated his opponent.

If anything seems amiss, quickly leave and retrace your steps; you'll surely find the identity tag there.

Or perhaps if they had given it their all in the fight, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

But these words could never be spoken.

The majority of people in the audience cheered with delight at the martial arts duo's incredible comeback.

"We won! We finally won! The two ruthless martial arts masters truly lived up to their reputation!"

"This is so satisfying! It's truly satisfying! Look at Zheng Yuan's expression, hahaha, it's hilarious!"

"Who told him to be so blind as to provoke our martial arts school's two fierce warriors? Now his hopes for fame and fortune are dashed."

"That's right. If he had gone to plunder other candidates, he would have been number one in identity tokens long ago, but he insisted on causing trouble for the Twin Fiends, asking for trouble."

"He probably thought this was the easiest place to manipulate things, but he never expected that he would be the one to fall into trouble."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but no one boasted about Zheng Yuan's past achievements.

Even though he had previously exerted so much strength for the sake of his identity card.

However, because of this final, disastrous move, the entire plan was rejected.

That's just human nature.

Once defeated, even the most brilliant past will be instantly erased and forgotten.

Meanwhile, Song Qingshan, Shi Potian, Hong Xing, and the others calmed down and put their worries back down.

This ending was unexpected, but it was the best ending they could have imagined.

In the valley, Chu Hong and Zhou Mingrui calmly took the stack of identity tokens that Zheng Yuan was carrying and divided them equally on the spot.

At this moment, a majestic and approving voice once again resounded from the sky, echoing throughout Canglang Mountain:

"Zheng Yuan is eliminated!"
