Wu Qianhuan spoke quickly, but the exchange of blows was like lightning and thunder – there was no time for her to finish.
Before she could even complete a sentence, Chu Fan's Grand Easy Divine Fist had already struck.
And the only effect her words had was that Chu Fan, who hadn't been using his full strength before, instantly channeled ten-tenths of his power the moment he heard them.
Fist against fist!
BOOM!!!
A muffled roar sounded like a clap of thunder, and two surges of inner force instantly clashed.
Everyone present felt the power and their expressions changed simultaneously.
As for the 'two' servants, they were sent flying by the force before they even had a chance to react.
However, one was genuinely thrown... the other threw himself.
Chu Qing felt like he was truly having the worst luck.
Today's Chu Family banquet, why did all sorts of strange characters show up?
Xin Youhen of the Valley of Ten Thousand Nights.
He had heard that name before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Nights was located east of Heavenly Dance City, and the two families had a relatively close relationship; he hadn't heard of any animosity between them.
So why did this Xin Youhen inexplicably infiltrate the Chu Family and suddenly attack Chu Fan?
Wu Qianhuan subconsciously glanced back at the two 'servants' who had been sent flying, and her eyes happened to meet Chu Qing's slightly frustrated gaze.
Though it was only for an instant, and at first, Wu Qianhuan didn't even react.
But she quickly felt something was wrong... that wasn't the look a servant should have!
Moreover, why was that damned look so familiar?
This thought churned in her mind, but for a moment, she couldn't dwell on it. She looked up and saw Chu Fan retreating three steps in a row, finally stabilizing himself on the last step.
Xin Youhen, on the other hand, didn't retreat half a step, his eyes showing a hint of surprise:
"What incredible natural strength, what a Grand Easy Divine Fist!"
He spoke while his feet didn't stop, his steps swift as a second punch followed immediately.
"Xin Youhen! How dare you come to my Heavenly Dance City and injure someone!"
Wu Qianhuan spun her long sword, just about to attack, when she heard Tang Xi roar and leap into the air.
His palms moved like scattered petals, attacking Xin Youhen's back.
"Get lost!!"
Xin Youhen's inner force surged around him, and he kicked out without even turning his head.
Not only did it break Tang Xi's palm attack, but it also went straight for his center, kicking him in the chest.
With a 噗 sound, Tang Xi spat out blood and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Young Hall Master Tang!?"
Wu Qianhuan's heart sank, and her long-prepared sword edge met the attack.
The City Lord of Heavenly Dance City, Wu Ganqi, was famous in the martial world for his Forty-Nine Forms of the Xing Tian Axe. Wu Qianhuan, being a woman, felt wielding a large axe was not at all graceful, which was why she practiced swordsmanship instead.
Her swordsmanship was also passed down from a renowned master, the Lonely Cold Sword Technique of the Dawn Moon, personally taught by Abbess Yetan of Green Pine Cave on Lonely Moon Mountain.
The sword moon was like a wheel, radiating cold light!
When she performed it now, it was like the bright moon over the sea, shining brightly through the ages, with a myriad of phenomena!
Her talent and comprehension were already excellent. In earlier years, Chu Qing was constantly suppressed by this girl, often getting beaten black and blue.
Now, after seven years apart, her internal and external cultivation had long since achieved extraordinary results.
With this sword strike, Xin Youhen's second punch was forcefully stopped.
His Overturning Sea Dragon Fist was originally like a dragon rising from the sea, with endless waves and a continuous flow of power once the stance was formed.
But if he focused solely on attacking Chu Fan, he would undoubtedly be injured by Wu Qianhuan.
Immediately, using his left leg as an axis, he spun his body, and the second punch, originally aimed at Chu Fan, slammed towards Wu Qianhuan.
In an instant, the area was filled with dense sword light and fist shadows, dazzling the eyes.
Suddenly!
Ultimately, Xin Youhen's inner strength was deeper. The accumulation from five consecutive Overturning Sea Dragon Fists had taken shape, something a young person of Wu Qianhuan's age couldn't compare to.
With a crash, the dawn moon shattered, and the sword stance weakened.
A massive fist shadow broke through the air, heading straight for Wu Qianhuan's chest and abdomen, a vital point.
But just as Wu Qianhuan was about to be injured by this punch, Xin Youhen's body suddenly stiffened.
The punch, which had been as fast as lightning, unexpectedly showed signs of weakening.
Wu Qianhuan's steps shifted, creating streaks of afterimages, and she managed to dodge it perfectly.
"Junior Sister, attack!!"
Chu Fan had also recovered by this time. With an angry roar, he leaped into the air, his legs crossing as he struck out.
This was the Grand Easy Divine Legs from the Human Character Scroll of the Book of the Immutable Heavens of the Great Easy Sect!
Junior Sister Wen showed no expression on her face when she heard him. Her body twisted, and she pointed a finger into the air.
The attacks from both sides landed simultaneously. Xin Youhen finally took a deep breath, his body like a divine dragon soaring through the clouds, and a overwhelming torrent of fist shadows suddenly erupted.
However, while Xin Youhen was fighting, he kept glancing around, though it was unclear what he was searching for.
At the same time, a voice was heard:
"Sister, what are they doing?"
"Sister, they're fighting."
"Should we save them?"
"If you want to fight, just say so..."
"Then who should we fight?"
"..."
The older sister fell into thought.
Chu Qing lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious. Hearing these two voices, they sounded familiar. He squinted his eyes slightly and saw two heads peering over the top of the wall.
He focused his gaze and remembered.
The two crazy people who had appeared when Chu Fan dealt with the Seven Iron Horse Thieves that day.
Why had these two people come here?
As thoughts churned in his mind, he heard the older sister speak:
"Before, we wrongly accused Young Master Chu without understanding the situation. This time we came to apologize, so let's help him."
"But, they're ganging up on him."
"...Just help this one time."
"Alright."
The younger sister's face was full of conflict, and then she leaped into the air. The older sister also followed, rising into the air, and very naturally went to her sister's side, where she was grabbed by the ankle by her sister mid-air.
Then, the younger girl's body floated in the air. She swung her sister around with both hands and fiercely threw her towards Xin Youhen.
The older sister, with a single palm strike, sent out a fierce palm wind that was ready to unleash at any moment.
Even though Xin Youhen had spent his entire life in the martial world, he had never imagined such a martial art existed.
The brilliance of this martial art lay in the fact that the weapon was a person, and the person had killing moves. In other words, the weapon contained hidden killing moves; it was a move within a move.
You not only had to deal with the person being thrown at you, but also with the vicious attacks that person would launch against you!
For a moment, he felt utterly bewildered. Where did these two crazy people come from?
He recalled that instant just now, feeling as if he had stepped into the gate of life and death, where one wrong step would mean instant death.
Xin Youhen was truly filled with lingering regret. He took a deep breath, his fists turning into palms, and with a muffled rumble, he unleashed a shocking wave.
This forced Chu Fan and Junior Sister Wen to change their moves and defend, while Xin Youhen tapped his foot, leaped into the air, and jumped directly over the wall.
"Huh? Why did he run away!?"
The younger sister's attack missed, and her face was full of disappointment.
The older sister was also furious:
"Retreating without a fight, how shameless!"
"Chase!!"
Naturally, Chu Fan couldn't let this person who had inexplicably intruded and then inexplicably retreated just leave like that.
He immediately leaped up to pursue.
The two sisters exchanged glances. When they had dealt with the Seven Iron Horse Thieves before, they had misunderstood Chu Fan. They had originally planned to kill the Seven Iron Horse Thieves and then go to apologize.
However, they had chased in the wrong direction. By the time they returned, they heard that all the Seven Iron Horse Thieves had died at the hands of the 'Night Emperor'.
That was why they had come to the Chu Family in Heavenly Dance City empty-handed, ready to apologize to Chu Fan.
Now, they hadn't apologized, and the person had left. How could they let that happen? They immediately shouted:
"Wait for us, we haven't apologized yet."
Saying this, they also chased after him.
Only Junior Sister Wen looked back at the courtyard and noticed that two people were missing.
One was the servant who had brought tea... and the other was Wu Qianhuan.
When had they left?
Junior Sister Wen thought for a moment, felt it was a bit troublesome, and stopped thinking about it.
