<h4>Chapter 1256: Chapter 1564: Duel (Part 4)</h4>


    "I’m going!" Qiu Yong no longer hesitated and strode into the center of the arena, looking coldly at the people from the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Academy.


    Seeing Qiu Yong enter the arena, a peculiar smile appeared on the faces of Chen Quan and others. "You, go ahead." Chen Quan gestured, and a middle-aged man immediately walked onto the stage without a word. This middle-aged man was very strong, standing at 1.85 meters tall, with muscles bulging all over as if bursting with explosive power.


    The appearance of the middle-aged man immediately piqued the intense interest of the audience. Everyone knew that Qiu Yong, as the leader of the Eight Oddities, was best skilled in cross training. Judging by the physique of this man sent by the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Academy, his path seemed simr to Qiu Yong’s. Therefore, this battle was sure to be exceptionally exciting.


    "Qiu Yong, please enlighten me!" Qiu Yong made a polite gesture. Although both parties were adversaries, Qiu Yong still maintained the proper demeanor and courtesy in the martial arts ring.


    However, the opponent showed no intention of returning the courtesy, instead staring coldly at Qiu Yong with a slightly cruel smile.


    "Old man, I advise you to get off now and spare yourself the embarrassment. I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand my punch," the middle-aged man mocked.


    Qiu Yong remained unfazed and replied faintly, "That’s my business, you don’t need to worry. Come on, don’t waste time, let me see how capable you are." As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man burst intoughter, took big strides, and charged directly at Qiu Yong.


    The speed of the middle-aged man was neither fast nor slow. With his body, if he could still move quickly, there wouldn’t be many who could match him. Seeing the opponent rush over, Qiu Yong lightly touched his toes and gently tapped his opponent’s shoulders with his hands. Using the force from the middle-aged man, Qiu Yong’s body flew away instantly,nding at the edge of the arena.


    Qiu Yong’s move was just a way to test his opponent’s strength and take advantage of the middle-aged man’s power to move away, so he wasn’t injured.


    After an unsessful attack, the middle-aged man did not hesitate and charged again. As before, Qiu Yong still did not confront him directly but relied on agile movement to dodge the opponent’s charge.


    The continuous evasions drew booing from the audience. Everyone expected an exciting duel, but Qiu Yong’s persistent retreat was disappointing. Since both trained cross training, naturally, they should engage in hand-to-hand and foot-to-footbat; that’s what would be interesting.


    Despite the booing around him, Qiu Yong acted as if he hadn’t heard it, continuing to focus on his opponent. This battle was crucial for the Dragon Tiger Hall, so what he needed to do was not satisfy the audience but to be cautious and strive for victory.


    At this moment, the middle-aged man stopped and looked at Qiu Yong, saying, "Old man, are you fighting or not? It’s shameful for the leader of the Eight Oddities to be so cowardly. If you don’t want to spar with me, then get off quickly and stop wasting everyone’s time. Isn’t that right?" He asked the audience with hisst sentence.


    Qiu Yong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "How I choose to fight is my business, and it’s none of your concern."


    "Jiang Qing, stop wasting words and start fighting," urged Chen Quan from the stands.


    The middle-aged man named Jiang Qing nodded and walked towards Qiu Yong again. As Jiang Qing approached step by step, Qiu Yong let out a light shout, suddenly quickening his pace and swiftly charging towards his opponent. In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yong was already close to Jiang Qing. "Good move!" Jiang Qing shouted, throwing a punch.


    Facing the strong steel fist, Qiu Yong did not retreat but raised his fist to collide with the opponent’s.


    Bam!


    Instantly, the two fists collided fiercely, producing a dull sound. At the same time, Qiu Yong’s expression slightly changed, his feet moving half an inch backward. Although the movement was small, it surprised the Dragon Tiger Hall members. Everyone knew Qiu Yong’s strength well, having practiced cross training for years. Moreover, with support from others, his skill level had long broken into the Earthly List. Now, being pushed back by an unknown figure left them astonished.


    At this moment, the Dragon Tiger Hall members were incredibly worried. They initially thought Qiu Yong would secure this match, but now, it seemed much harder than anticipated.


    While everyone was worrying about Qiu Yong, he and Jiang Qing had already shed over ten times, every time with Jiang Qing having the upper hand in power. If this continued, Qiu Yong would be suppressed sooner orter. Fortunately, Qiu Yong was not a novice; having lived for so many years, hisbat experience was the most abundant.


    Given the opponent’s strength advantage, he couldn’t continue direct confrontation; otherwise, he would lose out. As the punch came, Qiu Yong slid his feet, dodging frontally and quickly moving to the opponent’s back. Without waiting for Jiang Qing’s reaction, Qiu Yong seized the opportunity and punched at the opponent’s back.


    Bam!


    Fist met flesh, and the members of Dragon Tiger Hall rejoiced. With a sessful strike, Jiang Qing would surely fall behind. However, looking at the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Academy people, they remained calm and unrestrained, unmoved by the situation on stage, as if everything was under their control.


    At this moment, Qiu Yong’s eyes brightened slightly, quickly retracting his fist and preparing for a second attack. However, this punch was blocked by Jiang Qing’s hands. Only to see Jiang Qing’s fingers firmly gripping Qiu Yong’s fist, making it impossible to move forward or backward. After several attempts, Qiu Yong’s expression changed. He was shocked to find Jiang Qing’s strength had unexpectedly grown stronger,pletely suppressing him.


    This... how is this possible? Qiu Yong looked at Jiang Qing incredulously; had he been concealing his power all along?


    As he pondered, he heard Jiang Qing’s satisfiedughter. "Old man, this is all you’ve got? You’re too weak. I told you to get off quickly, but you insisted on staying. Since that’s the case, you’ll pay the price." With these words, Jiang Qing’s arm suddenly pulled hard, drawing Qiu Yong nearer.


    Seeing this, Qiu Yong resolutely abandoned defense and went all out on the offensive. With a Mountain Copse, his shoulder and elbow fiercely mmed into Jiang Qing’s body. Instantaneously, a thud was heard, and Jiang Qing’s legs flew off the ground, falling heavily.


    "Good!" He Ziyun and others in the audience couldn’t help but shout after witnessing this scene, finally relieved.


    "This match is almost certain now." Xia Yue said with a smile.


    Yuan Yun chimed in, "Luckily our big brother is in the match, otherwise it would be hard for anyone else to win."


    "Don’t celebrate too early." At this point, Xu Ming’s voice came from the seating area.
