Due to Er Lazi's injury and weakening momentum, Chen Afu, fighting for her life, clearly had the upper hand.
The crowd that had gathered to watch the commotion started encouraging them to stop fighting, but no one dared intervene. One reason being, Chen Afu's actions were ravenous, her small iron shovel never stopped swinging, creating fear in anyone who might accidentally get hit. Another, Er Lazi was highly disliked, and no one genuinely wanted to help him - some even wished he would take a few more hits.
Chen Afu was still slightly weak, and after a bit of time, started to feel exhausted and her strength began to dwindle. Er Lazi's momentum, however, was picking up. He managed to strike her several times with his stick, with one particularly ruthless blow aimed at her head. Instinctively, she raised her left hand to block the strike, resulting in the stick smashing onto her hand. Feeling an intense pain in her fingers, she fell on her butt.
