Chapter 11 I must cripple you today!
Blood Butcher made his move without any probing or feints.
Lu Yuan dodged to the side and unleashed a backhand slash with his Rock-Shattering Palm.
Blood Butcher neither dodged nor avoided the blow, taking the palm strike head-on with his left arm while simultaneously slamming his right knee into Lu Yuan's abdomen.
"Bang!"
The two of them stepped back at the same time.
Blood Butcher shook his numb left arm, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
Lu Yuan's palm strike was much heavier than he had anticipated.
"Heh, kid, you've got some skills!"
"You're not bad either!"
The mutual probing ended.
The two collided again.
Ten moves.
Twenty moves.
Thirty moves.
Blood Butcher's attacks became increasingly fierce, each move seemingly aimed directly at Lu Yuan's right shoulder.
Lu Yuan quickly realized this.
This is by no means a coincidence.
How did the Blood Wolf Gang know about my right shoulder injury?
Soon, Lu Chuan's image appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.
Why?
It was clearly not the time for Lu Yuan to think about these things. Every punch, every elbow, and every knee strike from Xue Tu landed precisely around his right shoulder.
Lu Yuan dodged, parried, and attacked back, but the injury to his right shoulder never healed.
That sluggish feeling gradually became apparent during the intense back-and-forth.
Fifty moves.
Blood Butcher threw another heavy punch at Lu Yuan's face, and Lu Yuan raised his arm to block it.
This is the moment...
Blood Butcher's fist suddenly changed direction halfway through.
He transformed his fist into an elbow, and his entire right arm slammed down on Lu Yuan's right shoulder like a hammer.
Lu Yuan tried to dodge to the side.
But he was too slow.
The elbow struck his shoulder directly.
Under the influence of Blood Slaughter's internal force, Lu Yuan's dark gray clothes tore open instantly.
Everyone saw it clearly.
Lu Yuan's right shoulder was red and swollen.
The bluish-yellow bruises spread from the shoulder socket to the entire right arm.
Although Lu Yuan's injuries had subsided considerably compared to three days ago, the damage to his right arm still looked shocking in contrast to his intact left shoulder.
An uproar erupted in the crowd.
"He's injured!"
"It must have been left from stopping the horses on Suzaku Avenue! I knew it! How could someone stop two crimson horses with one hand without getting injured!"
"He actually fought Blood Butcher for fifty rounds while injured? What kind of monster is this?"
Qin Zhao's fingers suddenly gripped the sword sheath tightly.
Qin Lie, who was next to her, turned his head and glanced at his daughter.
Qin Zhao was unaware.
Her entire attention was focused on the dark gray figure on the ring.
Blood Butcher licked his lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.
It seems Lu Chuan's intelligence was accurate!
His attack became even more ferocious at that moment.
No more probing, no more holding back.
At this moment, the Qi and blood of the mid-stage Body Tempering Realm erupted completely.
Punch after punch landed on Lu Yuan's right shoulder.
Lu Yuan retreated three steps.
On the fourth step, he stomped his foot hard, no longer retreating, and faced the enemy head-on.
The two clashed in the center of the ring.
One punch for another, one elbow for another.
Lu Yuan's right shoulder wound had been completely torn open, but he did not show any sign of pain.
The seventieth move.
Blood Butcher aimed a knee strike at Lu Yuan's right ribs, but Lu Yuan dodged it, raising his right palm high...
Rock-Smashing Palm!
Xiao Cheng's Rock-Shattering Palm, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, slammed down heavily.
Blood Butcher crossed his arms to block.
"Bang!"
He was knocked back three steps by the palm strike.
The entire room fell silent for a moment.
Xue Tu looked down at his numb arms, then at Lu Yuan opposite him.
With his right shoulder so swollen, how could he still deliver such a powerful strike?
He suddenly laughed.
"I surrender."
He said.
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone in the room heard it.
Lu Yuan slightly withdrew his palm strike.
Standing quietly opposite Blood Butcher.
At that moment, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
"He withstood seventy moves from his opponent despite his injured body and still won!"
"If it were Zhao Li on stage, could he achieve this level?"
"What 'Two Heroes of Qingzhou'?! I think from today onwards they should be called the 'One and Only Genius of Qingzhou'!"
...
He had been staring intently at Qin Zhao on the stage, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lowered his hand from his sword.
"I knew Yuan'er could do it!"
Just when everyone thought the competition was over
Then Blood Butcher moved.
Admitting defeat is a lie.
His right fist came out from an extremely tricky angle, the knuckle of his middle finger protruding, forming a sharp fist peak...
This is a dirty trick used in underground boxing rings to target joints.
The fist tore through the air and struck Lu Yuan's right shoulder socket with precision.
If that punch lands, Lu Yuan's right shoulder will be completely ruined.
Lu Youde suddenly stood up.
"mean!"
Qin Zhao's sword had already been drawn three inches.
"stop!"
But she was too far away.
Qin Lie also noticed Xue Tu's subtle movements.
This move was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
Qin Lie slowly stood up.
But this moment happened too quickly.
The punch landed squarely on Lu Yuan's right shoulder.
"I don't care what your relationship is with the city lord, today I'm going to cripple you!"
Blood Butcher grinned, anticipating the sensation of his shoulder blade shattering.
Then he froze.
Lu Yuan took two steps back.
There are only two steps.
There were no screams, no cracking sounds, and not even a look of pain on his face.
He stood there, the fabric on his right shoulder completely torn, revealing yellowish-green bruises and the dark gold sheen of his soft, gold-threaded armor.
The term "pain immunity" is now fully accessible.
The excruciating pain in my right shoulder surged like a tide, only to be suppressed by the power of the words.
His expression remained unchanged.
Qin Lie was also surprised to see this scene and abandoned his original plan to stop the competition.
Qin Lie sat down again, staring at Lu Yuan's changes on the stage.
Blood Butcher's eyes widened: "You...your shoulder..."
"Keep attacking my right shoulder? You think I'm injured?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Heh, who said I was injured?" Lu Yuan said calmly.
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone in the room heard it.
Blood Butcher's expression changed.
It's not an injury.
Is it an act?
No, the bruises were real, the swelling was real, and the feel of the bruises when he hit them was real too.
But this person showed absolutely no pain response. What kind of monster is this?
Blood Butcher took a deep breath, the murderous glint in his eyes returning. He grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth.
"Heh. Stop pretending! I don't care if you get hurt or not, I'm going to cripple you today."
His aura suddenly surged.
The middle stage of quenching.
Late stage of body tempering.
He only stopped when he reached the peak of body tempering.
The audience erupted in uproar once again.
"Peak of Body Tempering! Blood Butcher has been hiding his true strength!"
"No! This isn't a hidden technique! It's a secret method! The Blood Wolf Gang's Blood Burning Secret Method! It forcibly burns blood and qi to temporarily boost one's cultivation level, but afterwards, one will at least drop a minor cultivation level!"
"The Blood Wolf Gang has gone mad! They'd rather destroy Blood Butcher's foundation than let Lu Yuan go unpunished!"
Below the arena, Lu Youde suddenly stood up and abruptly turned towards the Zhao family's direction to the north, his voice booming like thunder.
"Zhao Tianxiong! You're shameless! Don't think I don't know who's behind the Blood Wolf Gang's challenge! If anything happens to Lu Yuan today, my Lu family will mobilize the entire clan to make your Zhao family pay the price!"
Zhao Tianxiong sat upright in the armchair, expressionless.
"Patriarch Lu, what does the Blood Wolf Gang's business have to do with my Zhao family?"
Behind him, Zhao Li suddenly stood up.
"Father."
His voice was low and laced with suppressed anger.
"Blood Butcher is using the Blood Burning Secret Technique; he's trying to cripple Lu Yuan. I could clearly defeat him fair and square, so why resort to such methods..."
"childish."
