As the Short Axe approached, just as it was about to make contact, he suddenly sprang into action, swiftly drawing the Bin Iron Dagger from his waist to block the attack of the Short Axe.
Clang!
Chu Yan's previously confident gaze instantly turned to one of surprise. The force was immense! The short dagger not only deflected the Short Axe but also sent Chu Yan stumbling back a few steps.
Upon closer observation, it was evident that her hand gripping the axe was trembling slightly.
The Sturdy Man chuckled lightly and said, "Is that all? I merely used a single dagger."
Though his words were brief, they cut into Chu Yan's heart like a knife. She chose not to confront him head-on, for she had realized that her strength could not match that of the Sturdy Man. Instead, she opted for a strategy to win.
From that point on, Chu Yan altered her attack mode, abandoning her fierce assaults. Instead, she began to evade the Sturdy Man's strikes with her agile movements, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.
"What’s wrong? You move like a jumping monkey. Do you have the guts to face me like a real man?"
Chu Yan could only smile bitterly, thinking to herself: If I could truly stand against you directly, why would I resort to such tactics? Nevertheless, that man indeed possessed extraordinary skill. No matter how hard Chu Yan tried, whenever it seemed she was about to gain the upper hand, he would effortlessly neutralize her efforts.
The two engaged in combat for more than ten exchanges.
Chu Yan's forehead gradually beaded with fine sweat, while the Sturdy Man appeared completely at ease.
"I'm done playing with you; it’s time to end this."
"What?"
Had he not been using his full strength until now? Chu Yan momentarily lost focus, and that brief distraction gave the man an opportunity. Seizing the moment when Chu Yan's previous attack had exhausted its power and his new strength was still building, the Sturdy Man swept in with a powerful strike.
This is it!
Yun Xiao Yi, watching from the sidelines, nearly rushed in to help, but fortunately, the Sturdy Man had no intention of taking a life. He simply transformed his dagger from a slashing motion into a striking blow, knocking Chu Yan to the ground and rendering him unconscious.
Witnessing this scene, Zhu Ji, standing before Yun Xiao Yi, flushed with embarrassment. He had boasted about his son's capabilities in front of the Divine Lord, but now it was truly humiliating.
The Sturdy Man calmly sheathed his dagger back into his belt and shook his head lightly. "He's not worth it. You might as well leave some food behind to avoid getting beaten."
Yun Xiao Yi found herself intrigued by this Sturdy Man; his combat prowess was indeed remarkable. Could he be a notable figure from the late Eastern Han? In truth, she held no ill feelings towards Han characters. Given the man's initially clumsy approach to robbery and his request for merely a bit of food, it was clear he had no malicious intent. Just moments ago, he had ample opportunity to kill Chu Yan but chose instead to knock him out rather than deliver a fatal blow.
With a master like Yun Xiao Yi nearby, even if that burly man harbored murderous intent, she could swiftly intervene by creating a barrier with her Block technique. Yet throughout the encounter, the giant showed no signs of hostility.
Every strike from Chu Yan seemed capable of landing on his opponent, yet the man effortlessly countered each one. After several rounds of confrontation, even the young and vigorous Chu Yan was drenched in sweat, revealing his fatigue. In contrast, the burly man appeared to exert no effort at all.
"Enough with the games; this should come to an end," he declared.
Hearing this, Chu Yan's heart sank as he realized that his opponent might still be holding back. Just as this thought crossed his mind, the giant suddenly changed his attack style. Taking advantage of Chu Yan's momentary weakness, he delivered a horizontal swipe aimed at him.
This is bad!
In that instant, Yun Xiao Yi nearly rushed in to assist, but fortunately, the opponent had no malicious intent. As the short dagger approached Chu Yan, the man swiftly altered its trajectory, turning it into a light tap that sent Chu Yan tumbling to the ground, unconscious.
Witnessing this scene, Zhu Ji, who stood beside Yun Xiao Yi, felt his face flush with embarrassment. Just moments ago, he had boasted about his son's exceptional skills in front of the onlookers. Now, with a single move from the opponent rendering Chu Yan utterly defenseless, he felt utterly humiliated.
The burly man returned the short dagger to its place and shook his head. "He still lacks experience. To avoid suffering more defeats, it would be wise to leave him some food."
Yun Xiao Yi was intrigued by the capabilities of this imposing figure and pondered which Heroic Figure he might be. However, he felt no animosity towards him; it was clear from the man's initial clumsiness that this was likely his first battle. Moreover, his initial request had merely been for some food.
Most importantly, despite having the strength to overpower Chu Yan, he chose to show mercy. This further convinced Yun Xiao Yi that there was no need for him to intervene since it was evident that the man harbored no ill intentions.
"May I ask your name, brave warrior?" Yun Xiao Yi inquired respectfully.
The burly man looked slightly surprised but quickly responded in kind with a nod of acknowledgment.
