”Boom!”

The sound of the clash between hammer and sword appeared extremely dull. However, within the dullness, it had a power that could tear through everything.

At the moment the hammer and sword clashed, the whole world seemed to be dim.

The cold and dense spirit permeated the surroundings. The air seemed to fill with lead, it was suddenly extremely heavy. The last hammer of Junior Leopard caused the air around to drag and be solidified. It was heavily compressed, and increased the power of his hammer. The air was compressed and condensed into one point. It was pierced by the Sword Qi that came sneaking over, forming an extreme explosion. Yet the Sword Qi didn't seem to diminish with the big explosion and Junior Leopard's hammer also didn't seem to reduce in strength due to the explosion either.

What remained was the contest between the sword and hammer.

The point of contact between the sword and hammer flashed. Junior Leopard and Li Xiu's body flew back at the same time. Junior Leopard's hand lightened. He saw the twin silver hammers, crafted personally by his teacher, couldn't withstand such a strong force and were completely crushed.

”Damn it!” he scolded in his heart. His body stretched in the air. He was just like a big bird that was slowly floating down. He stabilized his figure in the air and landed on the floor. His face paled. Within the Dantian, there was a rush of a hot wave, flowing through his limbs and bones, slowly repairing the areas of the body that was injured by the impact.

In this round of collision, Junior Leopard's twin hammers got destroyed and he suffered light injuries.

What about Li Xiu?

The long sword was still intact without damage. It was as if it had come out of the furnace, emitting a sharp Qi force, which stunned Junior Leopard.

However, what balanced Junior Leopard's heart was that this guy's state wasn't that good. His face was pale and his mouth had a trace of fresh red on it. His gaze was lost and without spirit, as if he had just suffered a huge setback. His whole spirit seemed to be drawn away.

His robe was full of holes as well, which was hurt by the Sword Qi that was scattered by Junior Leopard. But he was not injured. However, from a rich gentleman's appearance, he had a beggar's look. The difference was too big.

Between the two of them was a 30 feet wide and 10 feet deep mud pit. There was broken twigs and rotten leaves around the pit. It followed one direction, forming a strange pattern, which looked like a radio-wave that was spreading around. It was striking.

Junior Leopard's expression stiffened. His figure rushed forward, and he threw out a punch. It didn't carry a trace of wind, however, this fist was extremely heavy, carrying the momentum that could destroy everything towards Li Xiu. Li Xiu's lost expression violently trembled, as if he regained composure at the last moment. However, it was too late. Junior Leopard's fist was already in front of him.

”My life is going to end here!”

A wave of despair flooded into his heart. Subconsciously, he closed his eyes.

However, after waiting for very long, his expected death never arrived. Li Xiu's heart trembled, and he opened his eyes.

”You have lost!” Junior Leopard kept his fist, ”You owe me a sword!”

”I lost!” Li Xiu vaguely nodded. Before coming here, he had never thought that he would lose, and to lose so terribly. His Internal Qi was wrought until it became a mess, and his meridians were damaged. Now when he wanted to summon his Internal Qi, his body's meridians would be struck by numerous pins, extremely painful.

As for his opponent, apart from losing his twin hammers, he didn't suffer many injuries.

All of this indicated that he lost, thoroughly.

He struggled to stand up from the ground and he forcefully endured the pain through his whole body and he returned the long sword into the sheath. He wanted to say something, but he felt everything go black. His eyes rolled backward, and he passed out on the ground.

”No!” Junior Leopard blinked his eyes. He looked at Li Xiu who fainted on the ground and looked very embarrassed. ”Aye, this playboy gives me so much trouble. Damn it, don't tell me you are faking ignorance and not holding up to your deal!”

He could only helplessly carry the fainted Li Xiu back.

...

...

”Where is this place?”

Li Xiu slowly opened his eyes. He only felt that there was pain and numbness all over his body. His eyes were bloodshot, and his mouth was dry. However, he forcefully endured his thirst and weakly asked.

Without hearing a reply, a warm bowl was put to his lips.

”Gulp, gulp!”

Li Xiu instinctively opened his mouth and began drinking. He had never thought that plain water could be so nice to drink. However, he only drank two gulps before that bowl was taken away.

”You just woke up, you should drink less. It is harmful to your body if you drink too much!” A familiar voice appeared beside him. He raised his eyes and saw Junior Leopard sitting on the edge of the bed. He put that bowl of water on the table beside the bed.

”It is you!”

”It is me!” Junior Leopard said, ”I say, this is just a sparring match. Is there a need to stake your life? With the value of your life, I don't want to offend Pingzhou's Li Clan!”
