Defeating Tang San

Defeating Tang San

The dragon claws were sharp, gleaming with a cold light as they severed all the Blue Silver Grass winding toward him.

Blue Silver Grass that might have been tough enough for ordinary Soul Masters was utterly vulnerable before the Golden Dragon's sharp claws.

As the owner of the Golden Dragon Spirit, Lu Yuan's close-quarters combat ability was unbelievably powerful. Even someone as proud as Tang San had no choice but to pull back and fight from a distance.

"Lu Yuan, watch out!" Purple light flickered in Tang San's eyes. Pinching several small stones between his fingers, he hurled them at Lu Yuan with concealed weapon techniques.

Facing the incoming stones, Lu Yuan moved like lightning, dodging every one of them.

"What fast footwork!" Lu Yuan, using Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, came and went like the wind. Even Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes could not fully track him, and every concealed weapon he threw missed.

Lu Yuan moved like lightning, charging straight at Tang San.

Tang San stepped through Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and bent backward in midair into an iron bridge, narrowly avoiding Lu Yuan's sweeping kick.

Lu Yuan halted, spread open his right palm, and struck down at Tang San.

Tang San was startled. His feet moved rapidly as he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to narrowly evade the blow.

"Interesting, want to compare movement techniques?" A cold smile curled across Lu Yuan's lips as his speed rose again.

Seeing Lu Yuan bearing down on him, Tang San could only circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill with all his strength, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to evade desperately.

In the empty plaza, the two figures chased one another, leaving behind trails of afterimages that made even Xiao Wu, watching from the side, dizzy.

"These two are so fast!" Xiao Wu's eyes widened. Lu Yuan and Tang San pursued each other across the field, neither able to gain the upper hand for the moment.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track really does have something to it!" Seeing Tang San evade his attacks again and again, Lu Yuan grew interested. The Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track truly lived up to its reputation.

"Then let me see whether your Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track is stronger, or whether my Phoenix Dance Six Illusions is superior!"

Both movement techniques could be called peerless!

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was one of the Tang Sect's six great ultimate arts and its most profound movement technique. Subtle and mysterious, its power could be seen from Tang San's battle against the Speed Clan in the original story. Even Bai Chenxiang, a pure agility-type Soul Master, could not touch the corner of Tang San's robes.

Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, on the other hand, came from the world of Qin's Moon. It was the ultimate technique of Bai Feng, a commander of Liusha. Bai Feng's lightness skill was said to be unmatched beneath the heavens; even Dao Zhi, the Mohist School's famed thief, could not surpass him. Once Phoenix Dance Six Illusions was unleashed, its user became like a phoenix soaring through the sky—graceful and elegant, elusive as the wind!

This was the first time these two great lightness skills had clashed on Douluo Continent. Yet both combatants were merely six-year-old children, and the only spectator was a little rabbit.

Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was not especially fast in terms of movement speed. What it excelled at most was shifting and dodging within a confined space, a trait rather similar to Lingbo Weibu from Jin's martial arts novels.

Phoenix Dance Six Illusions might not match Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track in close-range shifting, but in pure speed, it far surpassed Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan increased his speed once more!

"So fast!" As Lu Yuan's fist swept past the tip of his nose, Tang San was shocked. He had already pushed Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to its limit, yet he still felt immense pressure from Lu Yuan—a pressure that nearly made him suffocate.

Tang San truly had no way to deal with Lu Yuan. There was no need to mention their Martial Souls—the Golden Dragon completely outclassed Blue Silver Grass. Nor could his concealed weapons accomplish anything against Lu Yuan's blazing speed. For a time, he could only defend passively.

As the saying went, long defense always led to failure; offense was the best defense!

Both Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Phoenix Dance Six Illusions consumed Soul Power. Lu Yuan's level was higher than Tang San's, and the Qingqi Sutra he cultivated was more profound than the Mysterious Heaven Skill. With both factors combined, the gap between them became obvious.

Bang! A fist broke through Tang San's defenses. Caught off guard, Tang San was blasted more than ten meters away. He dropped to one knee, coughing without end.

"Little San, are you all right?" Seeing Tang San kneeling on the ground, Xiao Wu panicked and hurried over to help him up.

"Cough! I'm fine!" Tang San waved his hand, indicating that he was all right.

"Cough! I lost," Tang San said.

"May I ask what that movement technique of yours was called?" Tang San looked at Lu Yuan and asked.

"Phoenix Dance Six Illusions." Lu Yuan did not hide it.

"Phoenix Dance Six Illusions?" Hearing the unfamiliar name, Tang San searched his memory. He had never heard of such a movement technique in the martial world, yet its profundity was in no way inferior to the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track—perhaps it was even better.

"An impressive movement technique," Tang San said.

"Yours isn't bad either." Lu Yuan neither confirmed nor denied Tang San's praise. Phoenix Dance Six Illusions was naturally formidable, but today he had also witnessed the mystery of the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. It truly was a rare lightness skill.

"Have you heard of the Tang Sect?" Tang San's gaze flickered as he asked.

Lu Yuan froze for a moment before flatly denying it. "Never heard of it. What does this Tang Sect do?"

Lu Yuan did not seem to be lying, which left Tang San somewhat puzzled. Could it be that Lu Yuan truly was not a transmigrator like him?

"The Tang Sect is a sect. I heard it's quite powerful, but I don't know the specifics either!" Tang San laughed it off.

Lu Yuan gave Tang San a meaningful glance. As expected of the cunning Tang San—he had merely revealed the slightest irregularity, yet Tang San had noticed it all and had already begun suspecting his identity.

Perhaps tonight's arranged duel had merely been a further test from Tang San?

Fortunately, Xiao Wu, that silly girl, had come along. Otherwise, he might not have been able to conceal his identity as a transmigrator.

Lu Yuan was wary of Tang San. Especially after deciding to join Spirit Hall, aside from Ferros, he was wary of everyone, including Grandmaster.

Tang San had a blood feud with Spirit Hall. Regardless of whether Lu Yuan would serve Spirit Hall in the future, it was necessary to remain vigilant around Tang San. After all, he was the protagonist of the original story, blessed with astonishing fortune!

If Lu Yuan truly joined Spirit Hall's camp in the future, then he would be destined to stand against Tang San. It was necessary for him to have some trump cards of his own. At the very least, Lu Yuan had used less than half his strength tonight.

Of course, it was not because he was afraid. With the system in hand, Lu Yuan might be somewhat wary of Tang San, but he was far from afraid. As long as he was given enough time, he would sooner or later become invincible on Douluo Continent. This was something he had always firmly believed.

Therefore, he would naturally conceal his identity whenever possible. Some things could not be allowed to become known to others, even if that person's character was worthy of trust.

Lu Yuan preferred to keep everything in his own hands rather than place his hopes on others!
