"Rumble..."
Uchiha Yue's iron fist collided with Lanqin's palm, marking the beginning of the battle between two powerful fighters.
However, the moment Uchiha Yue's fist was caught within Lanqin's skinny, bone-thin palm, a flash of surprise passed through Uchiha Yue's eyes. The shock in his heart was unmistakable. When Lanqin's palm gripped his fist, Uchiha Yue felt as though all the force he had unleashed had sunk into the ocean. No matter how he poured chakra into it, he could not make Lanqin budge even an inch.
Lanqin, standing before Uchiha Yue, wore an utterly relaxed expression, as though Uchiha Yue's punch had been as feeble as that of a three-year-old child.
After sensing the unfathomable depth of Lanqin's strength, Uchiha Yue was slightly stunned and immediately prepared to retreat several steps to widen the distance between them. Yet just as he began to pull back, he saw Lanqin clench his left fist and strike at his chest with the very same speed and power!
"Rumble..."
Another deafening impact rang out. Only this time, Uchiha Yue was the one defending, while Lanqin was the one attacking.
When Uchiha Yue raised his palm to block Lanqin's fist, he felt a surging force crash straight into him. In the next instant, Lanqin's strength forced Uchiha Yue back two steps. Only by retreating those two steps was Uchiha Yue able to dissipate the power carried in Lanqin's punch. Otherwise, the bones in his hand might have been shattered by Lanqin's force!
"I'm old. I'm not as strong as I used to be!"
"Otherwise, Uchiha Yue, that hand of yours would've been crippled already, you brat!"
Having suffered a loss in strength during the first exchange, Uchiha Yue's mood was naturally terrible. Especially after Lanqin's taunting words reached his ears, Uchiha Yue wanted nothing
