”Be careful, behind you!” Suddenly, Lu Feng's voice sounded.
Fan Daoping woke with a start, and when he turned around, his pupils violently contracted.
In Fan Daoping's eyes, the finger blade grew larger and larger, until it struck his chest at a speed that he couldn't even react to.
Bang!
A powerful force directly struck Fan Daoping's chest, causing him to be pushed back more than ten steps. Then, unable to hold back any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
”Do we still need to fight?” Cang Yun appeared in the same spot as Fan Daoping, with the same faint smile still on his face.
Cang Yun hadn't used too much strength in that sword attack. Otherwise, Fan Daoping wouldn't have only suffered some minor injuries. He believed that the latter should also have understood this point.
Hearing this, Fan Daoping's face grew unsettled. He remained silent for a long time, but in the end, he had no choice but to accept the reality before him.
”I've lost.”
Fan Daoping seemed to have expended all his energy as he sat on the floor. He had always loved to fight, so he could naturally tell that the gap between him and Cang Yun was simply too great. If he continued to fight, he would only lose and there would only be a second outcome.
However, there was one thing that he could not understand, and that was that with Cang Yun's strength, how could he have no reputation in the Sacred City? At least, in his three years in the Sacred City, Fan Daoping had never met someone like this.
”With your strength, how could you not be famous in Holy City? How long have you been in Holy City?” In the end, Fan Daoping couldn't help but ask his own question.
Cang Yun smiled, ”This year's new batch of new disciples entering Holy City can be considered one of the newcomers.”
”Newbie?” Lu Feng pondered for a moment and then shouted, ”You're lying, this is impossible. I'm also this year's new batch. I've seen all the top talents in the selection before, so it's impossible for you to be here!”
It turned out that Lu Feng and Xiao Yu were also newcomers in this year's batch, hence they directly rejected Cang Yun's words.
”That's right. I also went back to take a look during the assessment. There was no one like you. Moreover, those people at the top of this batch definitely don't have strength like you.” Fan Daoping spoke out as well.
”Oh, I forgot to mention, I entered the Holy City two months earlier than you guys. However, it can still be considered as a year.” Cang Yun said to Lu Feng.
As the sound of Cang Yun's voice faded, Fan Daoping suddenly thought of something.
”Two months ago, you entered Holy City. Could you be … is it the Azure Cloud which has been the talk of the holy city lately? ” Although Fan Daoping had been training in the Returning Ruins for a long time, he was still able to understand some of the major events that had occurred in the Holy City. The only thing that he had paid attention to recently was undoubtedly the Cang Yun who had refused Young Master Huo Yu's recruitment and dared to challenge the Fire League.
”If nothing unexpected happens, it should be me.” Cang Yun slightly nodded his head. He was somewhat surprised that Fan Daoping was able to recognize him, because judging from all the things that had transpired, the latter was not likely to be staying in the Sacred City. Otherwise, he would have been acquainted with the battle between Cang Yun and Zhong Feng.
”So it's you …” Fan Daoping murmured to himself, ”Since it's you, then I won't be wronged for my defeat. Actually, I should've thought about it long ago, besides Cang Yun, who else among the newbies could defeat me so easily?”
”Defeating a heavy sword with a single sword strike, Cang Yun, it's actually you!”
At this time, Lu Feng and Xiao Yu also finally reacted, revealing looks of amazement. They obviously knew about Cang Yun's achievements, even if they had just entered the Sacred City.
This was especially so for Xiao Yu. After she recovered from her shock, she revealed an expression of intense admiration.
”I've lost, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Xiao Yu, come with them. What happened just now was your senior brother's fault. Your senior brother is here apologizing to you, and Cang Yun should be apologizing as well.” Now that he knew Cang Yun's identity, Fan Daoping put aside all of his thoughts, and a look of sincerity appeared on his face.
Previously, he was indeed attracted by Cang Yue's brows, otherwise, based on his usual character, he would not have acted in such a manner.
”Senior Martial Brother Fan …” Sensing Fan Daoping's sincere apology, Xiao Yu began to hesitate. After all, they were fellow disciples of the same sect, and their previous relationship was quite deep. Otherwise, Fan Daoping wouldn't have come all the way here to stand up for them.
