Physical immortality begins with Bajiquan

Chapter 61 Two Fists Can Fight Four Hands

Five figures crashed into the sixth marker area almost simultaneously, creating a gust of wind that sent dust flying across the arena.

Lu Cang and Xiao Wu were already on high alert outside the No. 6 area, thinking they only needed to deal with Qin Heng. However, they did not expect that Zhao Kui and Sun He would also dare to rush in. Their eyes darkened at the same time, and they secretly prepared to fight for the wooden tag.

They were from the same school and had a tacit understanding. As long as they could help Lu Cang secure the sixth marker, Xiao Wu would give up the competition and move on to take the seventh marker, which was right behind it. The two immediately stood at the left and right corners of the sixth marker, forming a special angle encirclement, firmly guarding the stone table under the marker where the wooden plaque was placed.

On the other side, Qin Heng stood alone in the middle of the road, facing the direction of the wooden sign.

Zhao Kui stayed in the western corner, while Sun He landed on the eastern perimeter. Both deliberately kept their distance from the center, merely lingering and observing from the outside. They were waiting for Qin Heng, Lu Cang, and Xiao Wu to start the fight so they could sit back and watch the battle unfold, then seize the opportunity to enter and take advantage of any openings.

The five people focused their attention on the brown wooden plaque on the stone table with the sixth wooden marker. They all understood that if they could hold onto this plaque for ten breaths, they would be able to secure the sixth marker.

But no one dared to make the first move. Everyone knew that whoever took the card first would inevitably be attacked by everyone!

Lu Cang and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance and took the lead in igniting the battle.

Lu Cang let out a low shout, and together with Xiao Wu, they moved like mantises skimming the air, rushing straight towards Qin Heng in the middle.

Clearly, they planned to deal with Qin Heng quickly first. Once Qin Heng, the troublemaker, was taken down first, Zhao Kui and Sun He on the periphery would lose their courage and naturally wouldn't dare to interfere again.

Qin Heng stood quietly in place, his gaze sweeping over the two men who were attacking from the left and right, and then glancing at Zhao Kui and Sun He who were watching from the sidelines. In an instant, he had made up his mind.

Lu Cang on the left flexed his shoulders and back, his claws bent like the forelegs of a mantis, and unleashed the "Mantis Fist: Throat Lock and Claw Exploration." As he closed in, a cold glint appeared at his fingertips, and the wind from his claws whistled through the air, aiming straight for Qin Heng's neck, determined to lock his throat and subdue him in one move.

On the right, Xiao Wu's moves were sinister and unpredictable. His claws sank downwards, not attacking the upper body, but instead targeting the wrists and tendons. His claws were bent like hooks and lightning, directly gripping Qin Heng's arm joints.

The two men, one above and one below, one attacking and one controlling, worked together seamlessly, completely blocking Qin Heng's path to dodge left and right.

"Well done!"

Qin Heng let out a low shout, his expression remaining calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic. He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, a muffled thud resounding outwards, the stone surface of the arena trembling slightly. Instantly, all the strength in his body flowed into his arms, and he simultaneously opened his fists to the left and right, unleashing a "left and right hard opening" attack. His arms were like two heavy iron doors, blocking in front of him, fiercely and forcefully sealing off the two sharp claw-like winds.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two deep, muffled thuds exploded almost simultaneously, the force spreading outwards, stirring up dust and sending shards of rock flying everywhere.

The moment the claws and fists collided, Lu Cang and Xiao Wu felt a deep, continuous force penetrate their claws, causing their arms to suddenly go numb and their tiger's mouths to go tingly. Their forward momentum abruptly stopped, and their claw attacks were abruptly halted, unable to advance even a fraction further.

Qin Heng was also struck by the opposing forces. His arm trembled violently, his blood and qi surged slightly, and a dull numbness rose in his chest, but he steadily withstood the claw attacks of the two men.

Just as Lu Cang and Xiao Wu froze in their moves, Qin Heng seized the gap between them, flashed past them, and rushed straight towards the stone table and wooden plaque.

He leaped to the stone table, bent down, and swiftly grabbed the numbered wooden plaque into his palm.

"not good!"

Lu Cang cried out in alarm, his eyes turning bloodshot. He didn't care about anything else and immediately turned around to chase after Qin Heng. He pushed off the ground with his feet and charged towards Qin Heng like an arrow. He cursed Qin Heng in his heart for being cunning and slippery, not daring to fight the two of them head-on, and instead trying to steal the sign.

Xiao Wu also snapped out of his daze, pushed off with his feet, and charged after Lu Cang. Both of them were desperate, determined to snatch the wooden plaque back before Qin Heng could escape.

Qin Heng gripped the wooden plaque, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and inwardly scoffed.

Since you all covet this broken wooden plaque, I'll just stuff it into each of your hands and let you all hold it!

Sun He, who was standing not far away, was still watching from the side with his arms crossed. But when he saw Qin Hengzhen get the wooden plaque, he could no longer hold back. He pushed off with his feet and rushed towards Qin Hengzhen, his eyes full of excitement. He obviously wanted to get a share of the pie too.

Only Zhao Kui remained standing there, secretly gloating, glad he had kept his composure and hadn't rashly gotten involved. He planned to reap the benefits after Qin Heng and the other three had fought fiercely. But before he could even enjoy his victory, Qin Heng had already rushed up to him with the wooden plaque.

Before Zhao Kui could react, Qin Heng forcefully shoved something hard into his arms.

"You take it first!"

Qin Heng gave a low shout, and as soon as he finished speaking, he shifted his body and instantly hid to the side, watching coldly.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Cang and Xiao Wu caught up, immediately spotting the wooden plaque in Zhao Kui's arms, their anger flaring even more. In previous years, without Qin Heng's interference, these two bastards were always timid and hesitant, never daring to get involved in bidding. Now, however, they've become bolder; whoever they are, they'll teach them a lesson!

"You bastard! How dare you steal the wooden sign!"

Lu Cang roared first, his eyes red with rage, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he slammed them into Zhao Kui's chest with tremendous force. Xiao Wu was no less formidable; he sidestepped and kicked Zhao Kui's knee with a vicious, merciless strike.

Both of them went all out, venting their anger at being tricked by Qin Heng on Zhao Kui.

Zhao Kui howled in pain as he was hit, clutching the wooden plaque in his arms tightly, trying to dodge but unable to. He kept protesting, "I didn't steal it! That bastard Qin Heng forced it on me!"

"Then hand it over!"

When Sun He arrived, he saw the wooden sign in Zhao Kui's hand. Without asking any questions, he rushed forward and kicked Zhao Kui every now and then. In no time, Zhao Kui was surrounded and beaten by the three men, looking utterly pathetic.

Soon, Zhao Kui, though initially tricked by Qin Heng, was by no means incompetent. After realizing what had happened, he knew that the holder of the token was the target of everyone's attacks, and that he couldn't possibly last ten breaths on his own. Seizing the opportunity when Sun He got close, he shoved the wooden token straight into Sun He's arms.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, Zhao Kui suddenly bent down and pulled away, his figure rushing backward, breaking free from the encirclement of the three people in an instant, and stood far away to the side, looking like he was still in shock.

The wooden plaque was in his arms. Sun He froze instantly. Just as he was about to throw it, Lu Cang and Xiao Wu rushed over with red eyes, not caring who was who.

Both were masters of Mantis Boxing, their fingertips curved like mantis claws, their moves extremely tricky.

Lu Cang used the "Mantis Claw" technique, his five fingers like hooks, his fingertips carrying a strong wind, "whoosh" as he cut through the air, aiming straight for Sun He's throat.

Xiao Wu then circled around and used the "Entangling Silk Claw" technique, specifically targeting joints, with his fingertips aimed at Sun He's ankles, intending to cripple his lower body first.

Sun He roared and used the San Ti stance of Xingyi Quan to stabilize his body. He then unleashed a Beng Quan with his right fist, which struck Lu Cang's face like an arrow. With a "bang," the forces collided, and Lu Cang was forced back half a step. However, Lu Cang took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Sun He's wrist and twist it hard. With a "crack," Sun He's wrist went numb. He immediately lowered his shoulders and elbows to use the force to twist his wrist and break free. His left fist followed up with a drilling punch that struck Lu Cang's ribs.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Wu stepped forward and swept Sun He's calf with a "Mantis Leg Sweep Knee" move, causing Sun He to lose his balance and stagger to his knees.

Sun He groaned and was about to struggle to get up when Xiao Wu struck him on the shoulder with a "Mantis Claw" attack. With a "ripping" sound, a large piece of clothing was torn off, leaving five deep bloody gashes that revealed the bone, and blood gushed out instantly.

Qin Heng stood aside, his gaze fixed on the three people in the arena like a hawk. He saw that Xiao Wu was completely entangling Sun He, ignoring the defenses behind him, leaving him with many openings.

His eyes suddenly darkened, and his body quietly gathered its strength, ready to launch an attack at any moment.
