Sun Yuan arrogantly shouted at Yi Yun on the Divine Desolation Stage. Yi Yun stood up and picked up a brick from the table.

The surrounding prodigies were all watching with their eyelids twitching.

Yi Yun is back on stage with bricks!

Yi Yun previously delivered a devastating blow to Feng Hai from behind; is he now planning to strike Sun Yuan as well?

Sun Yuan was on guard this time, so how could he possibly be fooled?

"This Yi Yun is really arrogant. Although he is very strong, he shouldn't be so careless. It was one thing for him to use a brick against Feng Hai, but against Sun Yuan, who was already prepared, he still used a brick!"

"This brick is just too hard; it's hardly a decent weapon. He should have drawn his own knife! Underestimating the enemy... it's easy to be caught off guard and suffer a crushing defeat. Is Yi Yun about to make the same mistake as Feng Hai?"

People were talking amongst themselves, and at that moment, Yi Yun had already carried a brick and walked up to the Divine Desolation Stage.

Sun Yuan looked at Yi Yun, then at the brick in Yi Yun's hand, and grinned maliciously, saying, "You think you can use the same trick on me twice? You're too naive!"

As Sun Yuan spoke, his feet began to move slowly.

Sun Yuan's gait was strange. Although it seemed slow, when he walked, it gave people a feeling of being unable to see clearly and of time and space being disordered.

After Sun Yuan took a few steps, a blurry afterimage appeared behind him, lingering for a long time and almost indistinguishable from Sun Yuan himself.

Step by step, the afterimages behind Sun Yuan grew ever larger.

Everyone who witnessed it felt a chill run down their spines; this was the Sun family's Phantom Step!

With a unique movement style, the opponent cannot discern the location of the person using the Phantom Step, while each step is infused with vital energy, which forms afterimages and phantoms. Thus, the real and the illusory are blurred, creating a sense of illusion and deception!

How can you attack if you can't even pinpoint your opponent's location?

Similarly, not knowing the opponent's location or where the attack is coming from, one can easily be caught off guard by Sun Yuan's sneak attack!

The Phantom Step is the core of the Sun family's heritage. Sun Yuan also became one of the Four Little Tyrants of the Capital thanks to his outstanding talent in the Phantom Step.

As long as the Phantom Step is not broken, Sun Yuan will be invincible!

More and more afterimages surrounded Yi Yun. Each shadow could be the real body, and could launch an attack on Yi Yun!

The assembled prodigies were all quite powerful, and they were observing Sun Yuan's Phantom Step from a considerable distance, yet even so, most of them still couldn't discern Sun Yuan's true form.

"I can't tell which of these Phantom Step is real."

"As expected of the Sun family's unique skill, how can Yi Yun possibly attack now?"

Many people were praising the fat boy among the Four Little Tyrants, who slowly smiled as he watched Sun Yuan take control of the situation. This was all Sun Yuan could do; it was his trump card. This move was a perfect counter to Yi Yun.

If it were martial artists wielding swords or knives who couldn't pinpoint Sun Yuan's location, they would simply unleash a deluge of Sword Light and knife flashes, launching an indiscriminate attack.

At this moment, even with Sun Yuan's exquisite Phantom Step, he would be struggling to cope, and if he wasn't careful, he would be struck by Sword Light or saber light, revealing a weakness.

But Yi Yun only had a brick; his Thousand Army Saber was left offstage and he didn't bring it up.

Bricks won't unleash a massive, overwhelming attack.

Who gave you the right to be so arrogant?

Underestimating your opponent—this is what happens!

Meanwhile, in the center of the arena, Yi Yun stood casually, holding a brick. In truth, Yi Yun was quite speechless.

That Sun Yuan, he never stops playing tricks.

Yi Yun had already condensed the rudimentary form of the Heavenly Eye. With a sweep of the Heavenly Eye, Sun Yuan's true form had nowhere to hide.

Even without condensing the Heavenly Eye, if Yi Yun activated the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal, he would see Sun Yuan jumping around like a monkey, making him an easy target!

Yi Yun had a hundred ways to find Sun Yuan.

And he even said I couldn't use the same move on him twice? Does he think he's some kind of Saint Seiya warrior?!

At this moment, Sun Yuan's afterimage had already arrived within three zhang of Yi Yun!

For martial artists, this distance is practically hand-to-hand combat; launching an attack is just a matter of a split second!

"Good!"

The fat boy among the Four Little Tyrants had a gleam in his eyes. If Sun Yuan's illusion and his real self got within three zhang (approximately 10 meters) of each other, the opponent would have already lost!

The fat man hadn't expected Sun Yuan to be able to deal with Yi Yun, but now it seems Sun Yuan might win!

"Make your move!"

Sun Yuan made his move; he suddenly attacked Yi Yun from behind!

Three zhang away, gone in a flash!

Sun Yuan drew out an extremely thin, Soft Sword. This Soft Sword was hidden in Sun Yuan's sleeve. The blade was so soft that it blended into the air and was almost invisible!

This sharp, Soft Sword, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, pierced straight at Yi Yun's back. At the same time, Sun Yuan raised his hand and fired a row of hidden weapons!

These hidden weapons are the most inconspicuous and easily overlooked Flying Needles!

The Sun family's Flying Needles are also very famous. These Flying Needles are integrated into the Sword Light, and under the cover of the Sword Light, they are generally difficult for opponents to see, let alone dodge.

Even if the opponent is not confused by the Phantom Step and reacts in time to parry the Sword Light, they still cannot dodge the Flying Needles!

Such a series of attacks is truly vicious!

Learning from Feng Hai's experience, Sun Yuan unleashed all his signature moves and executed them to their fullest potential!

Phantom Step to approach Yi Yun, Sun Yuan unleashed a barrage of attacks with both his Soft Sword and hidden weapons. He believed he had no reason to lose.

That kid Yi Yun, his problem is he's too arrogant. He thinks he can beat me with just a brick?

Without a doubt, Sun Yuan's sword pierced Yi Yun's back!

A row of hidden weapons also pierced through his body!

All correct!

"Snap!"

Soft Sword pierces through the body!

However, Sun Yuan's expression suddenly changed drastically!

This sword strike felt completely unimpeded, as if it had pierced through the body's vital energy defenses without any resistance. It felt as if the sword had struck nothing at all!

At that moment, Yi Yun's figure suddenly became blurry.

Afterimage!?

Sun Yuan was horrified; the Yi Yun he had stabbed was also an afterimage!?

The Phantom Step is a secret technique that uses energy and footwork to create afterimages. Yi Yun certainly doesn't know the Phantom Step, but with his absolute speed, he can still create extremely brief afterimages.

Because the human iris retains a trace of what it sees for about one-tenth of the blink time, this is the cause of afterimages. Without opening the third eye, this iris afterimage cannot be removed!

It was this brief iris image that caused Sun Yuan's sword to miss its mark.

Sun Yuan felt a sense of foreboding and quickly retreated. But just then, he heard a gust of wind behind him!

A strong, ominous premonition surged into Sun Yuan's heart. He felt his scalp tingle and the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He tried desperately to do something to salvage the situation, but... it was all too late.

"Thump!"

With a crisp sound, Yi Yun slammed a brick onto Sun Yuan's forehead!

Sun Yuan's body jolted, and he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, his vision went black, and then the world spun around him.

I... I... go... to hell...

Sun Yuan roared inwardly. He strained with all his might, his eyes wide, trying desperately to support his body, but it was all in vain, only increasing his pain...

Yi Yun was somewhat surprised to see that a single brick hadn't been enough to defeat Sun Yuan. These Four Little Tyrants seemed to have good resilience; they probably all had some history in the underworld.

So, Yi Yun patted Sun Yuan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You were jumping around like a monkey just now. In a martial arts competition, all those fancy tricks are useless. It's better to play it safe and steady..."

As Yi Yun spoke, he silently raised a brick.

Sun Yuan's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word. He seemed to manage to utter a single syllable, but at that moment, Yi Yun's second brick had already been placed, aimed at the spot where the first brick had attacked.

"Thump!"

Another crisp sound rang out, the two attacks overlapping.

Sun Yuan was like an iron nail struck by a hammer; his body jolted, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, as if all his bones had been removed!

No one knows what Sun Yuan's final feelings were.

Another one solved. Yi Yun picked up the brick, stretched his wrist slightly, and looked as if he had just killed a dog.

The entire audience fell completely silent upon witnessing this scene!

Sun Yuan had already used the Sun family's ultimate technique, the Phantom Step, creating thirty-six clones. His moves were so dazzling that they were breathtaking.

But in the end... he was still knocked down by a single brick!

Yi Yun appeared twice, smashed two bricks, and took down two opponents!

Uh... I should say four bricks, but that's not important at all!

Is this really a duel between masters?

Those who come to Tai'a Divine City are all geniuses; shouldn't their battles be filled with flashing swords and earth-shattering momentum?

You knocked down two people with just two bricks? What kind of nonsense is this?!

At this moment, on the Divine Desolation Stage, Yi Yun squatted down, temporarily putting the brick aside. He grabbed Sun Yuan's hand and took off Sun Yuan's Space Ring.

Since this thing has already been gambled on, it'll be mine sooner or later anyway, so why not take it now?

Thanks!

Yi Yun said in a very irritating way, but of course, Sun Yuan couldn't hear him.

Seeing this, the fat one of the Four Little Tyrants below the arena turned completely ashen-faced, his fat face twitching uncontrollably.

Even the skinny guy got hit!

He was also stripped of his Space Ring and lost a thousand Dragon Scale Rune!

Including what they lost before, the Four Little Tyrants have already lost two thousand Dragon Scale Rune and two Space Rings!

He could already imagine himself walking down the streets of the capital, introducing himself to people in his circle, and they would say, "Oh! You're the leader of the Four Little Tyrants! I've heard so much about you. Two of your brothers got their heads smashed open with a brick by some country bumpkin from Yunhuang, and they even gave him their entire fortune. I've heard so much about you for a long time, and it's a pleasure to finally meet you today! A pleasure to meet you!"

Thinking of this, the fat man's face was completely contorted. If things continued like this, what would become of the Four Little Tyrants? They might as well change their name to the Four Little Turtle!
