The air crackled with the force of the punches on the ring, and the ground cracked.

As the three figures clashed, the audience below held their breath.

Chen Hongwu fought two opponents alone, and instead of being at a disadvantage, he became more and more courageous in the battle.

His spine undulated like a great dragon, with the entire spine running from the coccyx to the cervical vertebrae, and every punch he threw was accompanied by a deep, thunderous roar.

The muscles and bones resonate in unison, and the sound comes from the hand!

A boxing manual says, "Better to take ten punches than one elbow."

The Dragon Form Wrapping Wind in Xinyi Liuhequan prioritizes the elbow. Lu Songgao sidestepped and thrust his right elbow like a spear tip straight at Chen Hongwu's ribs.

The elbow strike was accompanied by the sound of wind; even before the elbow tip arrived, the force of the wind had already caused a slight indentation in the skin of Chen Hongwu's ribs.

Instead of retreating, Chen Hongwu advanced, taking a half-step forward with his left foot, grinding the ground with his sole and unleashing explosive power from the Yongquan point (a point on the sole of the foot).

He sprang up like a crouching cheetah, his right fist bursting out from his waist.

Xingyi Bengquan!

The fist struck Lu Songgao's elbow tip squarely.

"Bang!"

The collision of flesh and bone produced a deafening, thunderous sound.

Lu Songgao felt a spiraling force enter his elbow, causing his entire arm to bounce backward. His tiger's mouth went numb, and he had to take three steps back to regain his balance.

"Great Beng Fist!" Lu Song shouted, his fighting spirit intensifying.

He pushed off the ground with his back foot and lunged forward again, his hands shooting out in quick succession, one to the left and one to the right, like two dragons emerging from the sea.

The continuous strikes of Xin Yi Liu He Quan involve one punch being thrown out while another punch is already fully charged and hidden at the waist. Once the power of the first punch is exhausted, the second punch follows closely behind, with no gap between them.

Chen Hongwu extended both arms simultaneously, using his left palm to deflect Lu Songgao's right fist and his right palm to block Lu Songgao's left fist.

The "ban" and "lan" techniques of the Banlan Chui are activated simultaneously, and the two soft forces wrap around the opponent's continuous collapsing force and deflect it to both sides.

Lu Songgao's punching momentum was neutralized, causing his center of gravity to shift slightly.

In that split second, Chen Hongwu stepped his right foot into Lu Songgao's center line, his toes gripping the ground, and he exerted force from the Yongquan point on his scalp, causing his entire spine from the coccyx to the cervical vertebrae to suddenly jerk open.

Thunderous sound rolled through his internal organs, causing his bones and muscles to resonate and his fascia to explode.

Xingyiquan - Horse Form Cannon!

His right fist shot out from his waist, the tip of his fist cutting through the air with a low, whistling sound.

The Horse-Shaped Cannon is one of the most powerful and forceful fist techniques in Xingyi Quan, drawing inspiration from the image of a galloping horse or a cannonball being fired. The spiraling penetrating power of the Beng Quan (Crushing Fist) and the impact force of the horse-shaped punch are combined into one, resulting in a punch as powerful as an angry horse crashing into a chariot!

That punch came too fast, too fierce, and too intense!

Lu Songgao raised his fists to block, but Chen Hongwu's punches smashed through his defenses like a devastating blow, striking his chest acupoint.

"puff!"

Lu Songgao spat out a mouthful of blood mist, and his feet left the ground as he was knocked away by the punch, flying backward and crashing into a wooden pillar at the edge of the ring.

The wooden pillar let out a muffled thud as it succumbed to its weight, and the red silk wrapped around it trembled violently.

He slid down the pillar to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He struggled for a moment, but ultimately couldn't get up.

The authentic successor of Xin Yi Liu He Quan has been defeated!

"Master Lu!" Tian Zhaolin's pupils shrank suddenly.

Before he could react, Chen Hongwu had already turned around.

With the force of his punch that had defeated Lu Songgao still lingering, Chen Hongwu, taking advantage of the momentum of the horse-shaped cannon, took a step and pounced on Tian Zhaolin like a tiger turning around to catch its prey.

Tian Zhaolin is, after all, a direct disciple of Yang-style Tai Chi, and his listening skill has reached a state of perfection.

The moment Chen Hongwu lunged forward, he took a few quick steps, his body drifting back half a step, and simultaneously extended both palms, aiming for Chen Hongwu's right wrist and elbow joint.

Once you've established a firm connection with this listening force, the coiling energy will naturally twist out, locking the joints and neutralizing the attack.

But Chen Hongwu's right fist suddenly changed its move halfway through.

With a flick of his wrist, he spread his five fingers, turning his fist into a palm with a hollow center, and then gently brushed and pulled along the edge of Tian Zhaolin's palm.

This area uses the "Cai" technique from Tai Chi Push Hands. Tian Zhaolin felt his palm slip, and his listening force missed its mark.

In that instant, Chen Hongwu's left fist burst out from his waist.

Elbow strike!

With fist and elbow combined, the left fist aimed straight at Tian Zhaolin's chest, while the left elbow simultaneously slammed backward.

A punch and an elbow strike, attacking from both sides.

Tian Zhaolin's expression changed drastically. He lowered his right hand and pressed down on Chen Hongwu's left fist, while simultaneously using his left hand to deflect the elbow force.

Yang-style Tai Chi's "as if sealing and closing" is best at blocking, but unfortunately he underestimated the power and ferocity of Chen Hongwu's elbow strike.

"Bang!"

As their fists and palms collided, Tian Zhaolin felt a sharp pain in his palm as the hidden force penetrated his bone.

He took a step back to dissipate most of the force, but his palms were already numb from the shock.

Before he could regain his footing, Chen Hongwu's right fist was already upon him.

Block and strike!

The punch came quickly and heavily, the back of the fist striking Tian Zhaolin's left shoulder.

Tian Zhaolin shifted his weight to the side, his shoulder sinking as the back of his fist brushed against his clothes.

Before Chen Hongwu could fully utilize his fist technique, he twisted his waist and hips sharply, pulling his right fist back to his waist while his left fist shot out from under his ribs.

With his palm facing inward and knuckles facing upward, his entire arm lashed out like a steel whip, the back of his fist striking Tian Zhaolin's face.

A side-step punch!

Tian Zhaolin retreated with cat-like steps, his figure as elusive as a willow catkin in the wind.

The force of the punch grazed his earlobe, and the wind from the punch stung his cheek.

He had retreated to the edge of the ring, with no way out!

Chen Hongwu focused his energy in his dantian, gripped the ground with his toes, and exerted force from the Yongquan point on his forehead.

The entire spine, from the coccyx to the cervical vertebrae, runs through each segment, and thunderous sounds roll through the internal organs, causing the muscles, bones, and fascia of the whole body to explode.

The right fist burst out from the waist; this punch had no fancy moves, it was simply the most direct, the most powerful—

Damn it!

The "Zai Chui" is the most powerful of the five Tai Chi strikes, symbolizing the crushing force of Mount Tai and the decisive blow.

The force of the fist originates from the Yongquan point (Kidney 1), twists through the waist and hips, travels up the spine, and suddenly explodes on the fist.

The fist moves in an arc, yet its force is immense.

Chen Hongwu's fist slammed into Tian Zhaolin's outstretched arms, producing a loud, muffled thud.

Tian Zhaolin felt as if his arms had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer, and his arm bones made a faint cracking sound.

His center of gravity was completely disrupted by this punch, his feet left the ground, and he flew out of the ring, crashing heavily onto the muddy ground in front of the stands.

A direct descendant of Yang-style Tai Chi has been defeated!

Only Chen Hongwu remained on the stage; the wind from his punches gradually subsided, and the thunderous sounds began to clear.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Huang Jinrong and the group of martial arts masters in the stands. "Anyone else who's not convinced is welcome to come up and try!"

The stands were deathly silent.

Huang Jinrong's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say anything.

Grandmasters Lu Songgao and Tian Zhaolin have both been defeated. What else can he say? Who else can he ask for help?

Du Yuesheng sat beside Huang Jinrong, his expression unchanged, only his hand holding the folding fan tightened slightly.

"Bravo!!" Someone in the crowd shouted first, and then cheers and applause exploded like thunder, making the red ribbons at the four corners of the arena flutter in the wind.

"Since no one is going to take the stage, does your Green Gang... submit or not?"
