When Chen Tao saw that Dong Cheng had been injured by Hua Qianlou, he took a few large steps forward. At this moment, his expression was extremely serious and he no longer had that relaxed expression from before. This was the first time that Chen Tao had been so cautious against an enemy. No one had ever pressured him to such an extent before.

”Kid, I didn't expect you to be a Qi Cultivator. From the looks of it, you should be a High Rank Mortal Realm expert, right?”

The reason why Chen Tao wasn't sure that Hua Qianlou was an 'Earth Grade Martial Arts Expert' was because there was a distinct characteristic of Earth Grade Martial Arts Masters: they could condense the true energy within their body to protect themselves. However, the young man in front of him was not even able to sense the true energy within his body, yet he was able to heavily injure Dong Cheng, a renowned martial arts master. That was why Chen Tao was able to determine that Hua QianXun was also a Human Realm martial arts master.

A faint smile appeared on Hua Qian Xun's lips as he replied, ”Hehe! So what if he was a Human Ranked Martial Master? It's enough as long as I can beat you two! ”

”Humph!” You sure are arrogant! ”

”Of course! Madness needs capital, and I have it! ”

Chen Tao was so infuriated that he almost vomited blood. After he experienced the power of Hua Qianlou's words, he no longer said anything but turned into a thin line as he charged towards Hua Qianlou.

This attack from Chen Tao was enough to show Hua QianXun his martial arts skills. It turned out that his martial arts was a kind of ”Image Fist” evolved from the ancient fist technique of China, the ”Tiger Crane Double Form Fist”!

”Tiger Crane Double Fist” was a famous technique. It had the might of both a tiger and the elegance of a crane. The two of them complemented each other well and matched each other well.

”So it's the Tiger Crane Double Fist?”

”That's right!”

The two of them continued to attack each other. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten blows. Dong Cheng was astonished. So it turned out that Chen Tao's martial arts was even better than his. After Hua Qianlou dodged Chen Tao's sidekick, he changed direction in the air and once again sent out a ”Tiger Tail Kick”. In the darkness of the night, his foot was wrapped in a strange pale white astral energy. It was truly a beautiful sight to behold.

While Chen Tao's foot was still in the air, Hua Qianlou could already feel a sharp force blowing towards him. Chen Tao's foot drew a beautiful arc in the air containing a domineering aura. If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if Chen Tao was unable to kick him, that person would have definitely been injured by the zhenqi that was mixed within Chen Tao's feet. However, when Chen Tao kicked out his ”Tiger Tail Feet”, the True Qi actually dissipated into nothingness when it reached Hua Qianlou.

Chen Tao's expression changed. He finally realized that he had underestimated the strength of the youngster in front of him. If he didn't subdue the youngster quickly and let him seize this opportunity to counterattack, he would only end up in a miserable state. Thinking of this, Chen Tao continued to use his fists. Each of his punches was as powerful as a tiger's. Furthermore, his dodging movements were also extremely elegant. If Hua Qianlou didn't rely on his true qi as the foundation, then he really wouldn't be able to do anything to Chen Tao. These were the two strongest experts he had met so far. Of course, Hua Qianlou hadn't used his full strength yet.

The more Chen Tao fought, the more anxious he became. Even after he had thoroughly practiced ”Tiger Crane Double Fist”, he was still unable to stop Hua Qianlou. Just as he was about to repeat the same trick, Hua Qianlou smirked and said: ”Don't tell me you have run out of tricks? Then, why don't I let you experience my technique? ”

His speed was much faster than Chen Tao and Dong Cheng's. While Chen Tao was still in shock, he suddenly saw the shadow of a palm in front of him. Moreover, he heard the distinct voice of Hua Qianlou saying, ”Yang Ge, Tian Jun!”

”Bang!”

Chen Tao was sent flying by Hua Qianlou's palm. ”He spat out a mouthful of blood in the air before finally” ”Baji!” He fell down from the sky, looking much more pathetic than Dong Cheng.

This was the first time since Chu Yunfei and Hua Qianlou combined their bodies that they had used ”Yang Song, Tian Jun”. Previously when he had used this move, how could it have such a great power? But the current him was no longer the same as before. This was the most obvious effect of breaking through to the second meridian.

The true energy within Chen Tao's body had also been completely dispersed by Hua Qianlou's shock. It was impossible for him to gather true energy to fight again. Fortunately, Hua QianXun had only used sixty percent of his strength. He was already lenient towards him. Otherwise, Chen Tao's life might have been ended by that palm strike just now.

After Hua Qianlou heavily injured Chen Tao and Dong Cheng, he slowly walked towards them. Chen Tao and Dong Cheng thought that Hua Qianlou wanted to kill them so their faces were filled with resentment and did not have the fear they had before death.

Chen Tao wiped his bloodstained mouth with his sleeve and looked at Hua Qian Xun, saying, ”Humph! Since we have lost, it's fine if you want to kill us or cut us into pieces! ”
