Chapter 90 Lock Him Up

On the arena, the wind grew stronger.

Lu Chen moved swiftly, his figure like a monkey's shadow darting through the forest, sometimes close in, sometimes retreating abruptly. Every time Li Huchen's shoulders and back bulged, his tiger bones vibrating, as if he were about to gather and accumulate power, Lu Chen would strike first.

Wrist lock, elbow wrap, shoulder lock —

He used the iron wire grappling technique with unparalleled skill and precision.

After Li Huchen's fifth punch, the ever-increasing Tiger Roar Fist momentum was forcefully suppressed by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen interrupted his attempts to forcefully boost his qi and blood several times.

A deep, animalistic gasp came from the arena.

Li Huchen stopped in his tracks.

His shoulders heaved, his chest bulged, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Chen, the fierce light in them growing stronger.

"Lu Chen".

Li Huchen's voice was low and hoarse: "You do have some skill, but do you think you can break my Tiger Roar Divine Fist so easily?"

Lu Chen did not answer, but slightly shifted his feet, channeling his energy into his legs, gathering the power of the Golden Ape Leg but not unleashing it.

Li Huchen slowly grinned, his smile chilling.

You underestimate me.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sudden step forward.

boom!

The wooden planks of the arena exploded.

Li Huchen's shoulders and back bulged again, his chest and abdomen churning with blood and qi, and a faint tiger's roar seemed to emanate from deep within his bones.

"The sixth punch!"

Before the punch had even fully taken shape, Lu Chen had already moved.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body sweeping sideways, and in the blink of an eye, he was on Li Huchen's right side. His five fingers, like iron hooks, precisely gripped Li Huchen's wrist, and with a twist of his palm, the intercepting force entered through his fingertips.

Li Huchen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the muscles in his arms bulged suddenly.

Click!

A sickening cracking sound came from my wrist.

Li Huchen used the force of the tiger bone to twist it in the opposite direction.

The feeling was like an iron beam being forcibly flipped in Lu Chen's palm.

Lu Chen felt a slight pain in his finger bones, and his heart skipped a beat.

The next instant, Li Huchen's right fist broke free from Lu Chen's grasp and came straight for Lu Chen's face.

Lu Chen had no choice but to loosen his wrists and block with both palms.

boom!

Fists and palms collided.

Lu Chen was knocked back, and the wooden planks beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

A gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

"What?"

"How can Li Huchen still throw a punch with his arm twisted like that?"

Li Huchen stood still, several bloody marks on his wrists from Lu Chen's grappling techniques.

He cracked his neck and sneered, "Again."

Lu Chen's eyes darkened.

The formidable strength of his naturally tiger-like bones exceeded his expectations.

Even as Li Huchen withstood his grappling, he continued to throw punches. Like a tiger, though chained, he could still drag the chains and pounce on his prey.

At this moment, Li Huchen did not give Lu Chen time to think.

His shoulders slumped, and the tiger's roar rang out again.

"The seventh punch!"

Layer upon layer of force compounded, making this punch faster and more powerful than before. Li Huchen almost transformed into a tiger's shadow, his right fist, brimming with violent blood and energy, hurtling straight at Lu Chen's chest.

Before the wind from the punch even reached him, Lu Chen's clothes were already fluttering in the wind.

Lu Chen flashed forward, unleashing his Golden Ape Leg technique once more.

He lightly touched the ring with his toes, his leg strength like a monkey leaping through the treetops, and he shifted several feet to the side, trying to avoid the sharpness of the seventh punch.

But Li Huchen was not slow either.

After his Tiger Roar Divine Fist reached its seventh strike, not only did its power surge, but its speed also increased accordingly. Just as Lu Chen shifted to the side, Li Huchen's right fist followed like a shadow, relentlessly chasing after his chest.

"Trying to hide?"

Li Huchen let out a low growl.

"Can you dodge it?!"

The fist was closing in.

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, his left foot stomped on the ground, and his body suddenly spun around, unleashing the Cloud Piercing and Sea Entering Technique from the Azure Dragon Tongbei Fist.

With arms like dragons soaring through the clouds, it first avoided the most powerful point of Li Huchen's punch, and then wrapped around the outside of the opponent's right arm.

Then, Lu Chen wrapped his arm around Li Huchen's elbow with his five fingers like iron hooks.

Iron Wire Grappling Technique!

The moment the five fingers grip the elbow joint, the intercepting force is released.

Instead of twisting Li Huchen's wrist, Lu Chen directly blocked the pivot point of his right arm.

The elbow is the bridge, the shoulder is the root, and the fist is the edge.

Once the elbow joint is blocked, it becomes difficult for the right fist to continue pressing forward.

Sure enough, Li Huchen's right arm suddenly jerked.

The punch was only a foot away from Lu Chen's chest, but it was abruptly stopped in mid-air.

At the same time, Lu Chen unfolded the Coiling Dragon Stance, his legs as if rooted to the ring, his waist and back exerting force, his left hand wrapped around Li Huchen's arm, and his right palm pressed down on Li Huchen's left fist.

He pushed the Vajra Palm technique to its limit.

For a moment, the two seemed frozen in the center of the arena.

Lu Chen wrapped one arm around Li Huchen's elbow and pressed down with his fist, his whole body almost touching Li Huchen's face.

Li Huchen's right fist remained suspended in mid-air.

The fist was no more than a foot away from Lu Chen's chest.

But Lu Chen locked his elbow joint tightly, his fingertips almost digging into Li Huchen's flesh, his intercepting force constantly drilling in, blocking Li Huchen's advancing fist path.

Li Huchen stared at Lu Chen, his eyes filled with a frighteningly gloomy expression.

The next second, he roared in fury, like a tiger howling in the mountains.

A series of popping sounds came from his spine.

Click click click!

The arm that Lu Chen had entangled suddenly swelled up.

His muscles seemed to be stretched by his blood and qi, with veins bulging out as if small snakes were writhing beneath his skin. A savage force surging from the depths of his bones relentlessly assaulted Lu Chen's grappling techniques.

Lu Chen's expression changed.

He felt as if he were not holding a human arm, but an iron pillar being dragged by a wild beast.

The two sides have become locked in a real power struggle.

Lu Chen's feet were firmly planted on the arena, and he activated the Panlong Stance Technique to its fullest extent.

His back was slightly hunched, his blood and qi sank into his lower body, and his whole body resembled a coiled dragon, tightly binding Li Huchen's right arm.

His fingers gripped deeper and deeper, until they were embedded in Li Huchen's muscles.

Blood flowed down Li Huchen's arm.

Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Chen's forehead.

Li Huchen's right fist was also trembling.

The two streams of energy clashed violently between the two, causing the wooden planks of the arena to crack continuously.

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

At this moment, even ordinary people who don't understand martial arts can see that the situation on the arena has reached its most critical point.

The two were locked in a stalemate.

Lu Chen wanted to lock Li Huchen's fist.

Li Huchen, on the other hand, had to withstand Lu Chen's grappling and deliver his seventh punch.

Whoever can break this deadlock will gain a significant advantage.

"Lu Chen, lock him up!"

Someone in the crowd shouted first.

Immediately afterwards, a chorus of agreement arose from all around.

Lock him up!

"Don't let go!"

"We absolutely will not let go, no matter what!"

These sounds rose and fell, growing louder and louder.

Yesterday, Li Huchen's punch that killed Shi Hao had already sent chills down many people's spines. Today's final, although many people originally just came to watch the excitement, have found themselves unconsciously siding with Lu Chen at this point.

On the platform, Zhou Lingfeng watched the two fighters locked in combat and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"This Lu Chen seems rather interesting."

"How much kung fu has he learned?"

Before today's final, he actually favored Li Huchen.

He was born with tiger bones.

Tiger Roar Divine Fist.

Li Yong drew his powerful bow again, this time with a force of fifty stones.

Such a person, placed in the martial arts examination of Chixia County, should have been the undisputed champion.

Although Lu Chen had achieved a score of fifty-stone armor and defeated Fang Henian, Zhou Lingfeng believed that he had little chance of winning against someone with Li Huchen's special physique.

The final match will most likely be one-sided.

Unexpectedly, today's battle was so intense and fierce.

Lu Chen was actually able to withstand Li Huchen's Tiger Roar Divine Fist and fight him for so long.

It truly made him look at him in a new light.

"Azure Dragon Through-Arm Fist, Iron Wire Grappling Hand, Mighty Vajra Palm, Golden Ape Piercing Forest Leg—"

Zhou Lingfeng recounted the moves Lu Chen used on stage, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
