Lu Yin's eyes snapped open. Five-pattern battle qi coiled around his body. He was going to unleash his full strength just to withstand Long Yun's six-pattern battle qi. The difference of a single pattern made a huge difference.

Lu Yin could retreat. Secret Steps would ensure Long Yun couldn't hit him, leaving him in an invincible position. He believed Long Yun wasn't fast enough to surpass Secret Steps. But at that moment, a surge of boldness rose within him. He didn't want to retreat. He had the feeling that taking a step back would cost him
