Chapter 71 - 71 70 Falling into a Trap

71: Chapter 70: Falling into a Trap 71: Chapter 70: Falling into a Trap The elder announced the results and continued, “Whoever wants to challenge, step forward quickly.

I really don’t have the time to announce each of you one by one.”

A man abruptly stood up and shouted at the referee, “I want to challenge the third ranked Puxiu on the Dragon List.”

This man was strong and burly.

He leaped onto the platform, and the man known as Puxiu also stood up, coughing pitifully.

If this hadn’t been the venue of a Dragon List competition, Song Yun would have thought this boy had tuberculosis, coughing so violently after just a few steps.

“Now the fifth-ranked Deng Cun is challenging the third-ranked Puxiu,” the elder announced.

After Deng Cun and Puxiu exchanged greetings, Deng Cun’s feet ceaselessly shifted back and forth, and within three breaths, he was in front of Puxiu, throwing a punch.

Puxiu completely ignored the oncoming fist, tightening his abdomen and twisting his body into a bizarre pose to dodge the sure-to-hit punch before using this twisting force to quietly extend both hands, entwining the opponent’s fist like a snake.

Twisting his waist sharply, a mighty force flung his adversary several meters away, slamming onto the platform with a loud crash.

Deng Cun climbed up from the ground and drew two tri-edged spikes from his waist.

With a flash of cold light, he again struck towards Puxiu’s chest, aiming for a fatal blow.

Puxiu pinched his fingers together and effortlessly clamped the glinting spikes between them, immobilizing them as if they were made of iron, not budging an inch.

Puxiu glanced at his fingers, now holding a military tri-edged spike, its long blood grooves frightening to behold.

Puxiu scoffed, twisted his fingers, and the spike emitted a fierce sound.

Deng Cun’s face turned to shock, but the tremendous strength transmitted to his hand uncontrollably twisted along with Puxiu’s fingers.

He attempted to resist, but it was all in vain; Puxiu suddenly increased the pressure, and with a clang, the spike bent and flew away, hitting the wall with a crisp sound.

Without giving Deng Cun a chance to react, Puxiu threw a straight punch, its force carrying a faint sound of a sonic boom, and powerfully hammered the opponent’s chest.

Deng Cun was sent flying and landed, spitting blood.

Just as Puxiu was about to explode his opponent’s head with a punch, suddenly another ‘Deng Cun’ leaped onto the platform.

That ‘Deng Cun’ immediately pulled the Deng Cun lying on the ground to the side of the platform.

Puxiu burst into laughter, saying, “So the fifth-ranked on the Dragon List are actually the Deng twins, I was wondering why I only saw one Deng Cun.

Turns out you, the elder brother Deng Zhi, were enjoying the show from down below.

What, now that your younger brother is about to die, you’ve come up to save him?”

Deng Zhi’s eyes bulged with fury as he shouted, “Today, we, the Deng twins, will no longer be fifth.

We intend to become the third.”

Song Yun watched the events unfolding on the platform with surprise, tugging at Wang Ba, who was watching with keen interest, asking, “How can two people participate in the Dragon List challenge together?”

“It is said that the Deng twins of the fifth rank on the Dragon List are twins, and they have been of one mind since childhood.

Their Joint Attack Technique is almost invincible in the world; one defends while the other attacks, it’s like a BUG.

That’s why the National Security Bureau allowed them to participate in the Dragon Elephant List competition together.

However, they have become a bit overconfident, thinking one could challenge Puxiu alone.

Hmph, is Puxiu really such an easy opponent?” Wang Ba whispered, scared that the fighters on stage would overhear.

Song Yun frowned and continued to watch the bout on the platform.

Puxiu stood in place, forming a circle with his arms, watching Deng Zhi as the latter rushed towards him with a strange footwork pattern.

Deng Zhi’s figure seemed to flicker in and out of existence, making it impossible for anyone to grasp his pattern.

Puxiu started to take this opponent seriously.

Using his right foot as a pivot, Puxiu spun in mid-air as Deng Zhi pressed in with unpredictable movements, managing to avoid even a sliver of a chance to get close.

But Puxiu’s foot seemed to elongate suddenly; although there was still about half a meter between them, his foot had chopped at Deng Zhi’s neck in an instant.

Deng Zhi, worthy of being the fifth-ranked on the Dragon List, did not change his expression.

He braced himself with one hand to catch Puxiu’s powerful kick and then, pulling Puxiu’s figure forward, swept a leg towards Puxiu’s groin.

Holy shit, this move was too ruthless.

Song Yun couldn’t believe that even a top fighter on the Dragon List would use such a lewd technique.

Dragons have reverse scales, and people have their own untouchable soft spots!

Puxiu, seeing the other party shamelessly attacking his vital parts, his dear brother, the root of his life, felt anger rise from his heart and resolved to retaliate.

The foot Deng Zhi had grabbed was forcefully pushed down, and Deng Zhi couldn’t withstand the overwhelming force, kneeling on one knee.

Puxiu’s other foot kicked up into the air, striking Deng Zhi’s chin, forcing him to release the foot and retreat rapidly.

In an instant, Puxiu advanced with another sidekick, and as Deng Zhi raised his hand to block, he didn’t realize it was Puxiu’s feint.

Seeing Deng Zhi’s hand move up, Puxiu used a method that defied physics with a kick, forcibly targeting Deng Zhi’s lower body.

Deng Zhi, caught off guard, received a brutal kick there and instantly bent like a shrimp.

Puxiu took a few deep breaths in place; defying physics also put a bit of a strain on his body, but luckily, it was successful.

He defended his dignity, sending a message to everyone that his brother was not to be trifled with.

“Damn it, you really are cunning,” Puxiu coughed twice, swallowing saliva before speaking.

“I didn’t expect your body’s reaction speed to be so fast.

Well, I lost this time, but I didn’t think you would use such a vulgar move,” Deng Zhi conceded, lying on the platform and resting.

For anyone, the groin is always the weakest spot; even Ultraman, Saiyans, and superheroes like Superman and Batman, would be doomed if struck there with a kick.

“Hmph, you were the one who used that technique first.

I just borrowed it for a moment,” Puxiu said with a smile.

“Damn, I really fell for it this time.

I concede defeat.

Next time at the Dragon Elephant List contest, I’ll let you experience the full force of our brothers’ Consecutive Attack Skill,” Deng Zhi said as he picked himself up and shook his head.

The elder, still wearing that listless expression, came onto the platform to declare the results, and was about to leave the stage.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, listened to his earpiece for a moment, and then announced, “Now, Song Yun of the National Security Bureau vs the third ranked Puxiu on the Dragon List.”
