Young Master Zhou’s sword technique was flawless, but he lacked actual combat experience, losing out to Xu Yi’s cunning and ability to improvise. Xu Yi adapted well, and instead of a sure victory for Young Master Zhou, it became a gruelling battle, prompting Elder Feng to want to make a move.

“No need! I said that this rascal is mine!”

With a steeled expression, Young Master Zhou hacked apart another rock with his sword, only to feel that the force was not as strong as before. With a sudden realization, he laughed coldly. “Have no fear Elder Feng. How can I not notice that the tricks that this rascal is up to? He is trying to drain my stamina. Hehe, does he not know that his stamina is limited too? The strength I need to break apart a rock is much less than the strength he needs to send a rock flying this far. If I’m tired, the rascal will be tired too. I’ll make sure he collapses from fatigue today, then I will skin him alive!”

Elder Feng eyed Xu Yi, and noticed that he was sweating from head to toe. His face was pale, and he was evidently spent from overexertion. He then backed away and said, “Young Master is wise!”

Clang!

Clang!

Another two rocks were hacked away. Young Master Zhou was overjoyed. He could clearly see that the last two rocks were much weaker. It was obvious that Xu Yi was spent.

After breaking the two rocks, Young Master Zhou took the opportunity to close the distance.

Xu Yi sent another rock flying but ended up stumbling.

Not letting an opportunity slip, Young Master Zhou’s eyes sparkled as he mustered his energy to leap forward, closing the distance in a flash. The sword whistled through the air like a vicious dragon emerging from its nest, stabbing straight at the top of Xu Yi’s head. “Meet your doom!”

“You’ve come at the right time!” Xu Yi roared.

His two hands flew outwards at the same time, firmly wedging the swift blade between his two palms.

Kacha! Xu Yi exerted force with his palms and snapped the sword in two. Before Young Master Zhou could react, Xu Yi flipped the broken blade around and stabbed it into Young Master Zhou’s left shoulder.

“Argh!”

A deafening cry that would shock the heavens reverberated through the mountain valley!

Seeing Xu Yi stop the sword, Elder Feng’s eyebrows were raised so high they almost dropped off his face. With one foot stomping on the ground, the mountain path crumbled under his foot. Speeding forward like a tornado, Elder Feng had already reached them the moment Young Master Zhou’s shoulder was stabbed. He placed one hand on Young Master Zhou’s shoulder, and the other hand, in a palm, was sent chopping towards Xu Yi.

The force of the palm was so sharp, even the stray hairs by Young Master Zhou’s ear were cut!

Xu Yi hated Young Master Zhou deeply. He had spent so much effort in order to finally have him in his hands, and he would not easily give up. Without dodging or evading, he sent a fist to meet Elder Feng’s chopping palm.

Elder Feng secretly rejoiced. He doesn’t know that he’s doomed! Elder Feng thought to himself.

Crash!

The fist and the palm clashed, creating what seemed like an explosion at the scene. After the exchange, Xu Yi’s feet had sunk into the ground by half an inch, but he had not taken even a step backwards. Elder Feng, on the other hand, stood firmly on the ground. The force of Xu Yi’s punch had been taken as though it were nothing. Through this exchange, it was clear that Elder Feng stood out on top.

In just one exchange of moves, a wave of surprise swept over Elder Feng. And it was this momentary lapse that Xu Yi took advantage of. He grabbed hold of the still stunned Young Master Zhou’s left arm, exerted his strength, twisted, and pulled. With a bone-chilling scream, Young Master Zhou’s entire left arm was ripped off.

Elder Feng howled in a mix of surprise and rage. At that moment his sleeves exploded apart, as he leapt at Xu Yi like an angry lion.
