Arms collided with a powerful impact, creating a thunderous sound as the air surged violently. Duanmu Xue's arm, which was originally aimed directly at Lufan's heart, was deflected off course and grazed past him, stabbing into empty space.
The force concentrated at her fingertips suddenly erupted, striking down leaves from over ten yards away. This move, Overlord Asks for Directions, was thus countered by Lufan.
However, Lufan also felt the repercussions; after their exchange, he truly sensed how astonishing Duanmu Xue's power was. Although she was only at the Fourth Rank, her strength was already approaching the peak of the Fifth Rank, even reaching Sixth Rank levels. In a pure comparison of strength, he found himself unable to compete without activating his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt.
It should be noted that Lufan had undergone the transformation to True Blood. Compared to an ordinary Martial Cultivator, his physical strength was significantly greater, comparable to a Fifth Rank expert. Yet he still found himself outmatched by Duanmu Xue, who had successfully refined her bones.
Moreover, following their collision, Lufan felt a domineering and fierce energy seep into his body, which began to wreak havoc internally. His Nine Yang Inner Strength crumbled under this overwhelming force; despite being equal in quantity, it collapsed upon contact and retreated steadily. Lufan had no choice but to mobilize more Inner Strength to expel it.
What kind of power is this? Lufan couldn't help but be astonished. His Nine Yang Inner Strength was renowned for its masculinity and grandeur, more powerful than other forms of Inner Strength cultivated through different techniques. Yet now it had been defeated by an unknown force?
Seemingly sensing Lufan's confusion, Duanmu Xue smiled slightly. "This is Overlord Battle Qi. After I advanced to the Fourth Rank and officially mastered 'Overlord,' I forged my Primordial Energy into this form. Just feel it and see if you can gain any insights."
With that, Duanmu Xue moved swiftly, her body spinning as she transformed her palm into a blade. Her entire arm resembled a mountain-splitting sword as she harnessed the rotational force of her body to cleave downward through the atmosphere toward Lufan's head!
Overlord's Blade! Overlord's Mountain Splitter!
Duanmu Xue's mastery of 'Overlord' was a complete inheritance that encompassed all forms of weaponry. After mastering it, she could wield the power of Overlord with swords, spears, and halberds alike. However, she preferred Spear Technique in her usual practice; that did not mean her swordsmanship was lacking!
This move, Overlord's Mountain Splitter, contained the intent to cleave through even a divine mountain before her!
At that moment, Lufan had just expelled the Overlord Battle Qi from his body when his eyes suddenly brightened. Their brief contact allowed him to sense that his energy and Duanmu Xue's battle qi had merged together. For that fleeting instant, he felt as if he could perceive the operation of Duanmu Xue's internal techniques.
Lufan’s perception was incredibly sharp; he realized this was likely why Duanmu Xue had proposed this battle. She intentionally connected their energies and openly displayed her technique's operation in hopes that Lufan could gain enlightenment from it and break through his own dilemmas.
In this way, the favor owed became significant; it could be said that Duanmu Xue was cleverly revealing her family’s secret arts before Lufan in an entirely different manner. The trust involved in this act could not be expressed in mere words.
Of course, this method wasn’t something just anyone could employ; only someone like Lufan—who had achieved profound understanding and precision regarding the dynamics of energy within the Human Body—could sense such complex Mind Technique operations in an instant.
Similarly, only someone like Duanmu Xue—whose strength had reached a certain level—could perfectly merge their energies in such a skilled manner.
Understanding this point, Lufan naturally would not waste Duanmu Xue’s intentions. As he saw the blade descending upon him, he did not dodge or evade but instead maintained his Sit on the Golden Throne stance. He crossed his arms upward to block Duanmu Xue’s mountain-splitting strike!
Bang!
The sound of a violent collision echoed again. Lufan had indeed sealed Duanmu Xue's Overlord's Mountain Splitter, but under the immense pressure, his body could not help but sink down, with his feet already buried in the ground up to his ankles.
However, Lufan did not pay attention to this; all his focus was on the arm that was in contact with Duanmu Xue. Sure enough, the energy connection fused once more, and Lufan sensed the operation of Duanmu Xue's cultivation technique. This time, due to his preparation, his perception was much clearer than before.
In Lufan's perception, he could distinctly sense that the meridians within Duanmu Xue's body were rapidly operating in a complex manner, tearing strands of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy from her surrounding acupoints into her body. After a series of intricate refinements, this energy was transformed into the special Primordial Energy known as Overlord Battle Qi.
Since Duanmu Xue was in the midst of intense combat and did not conceal her actions, this operational method was particularly evident, clearly reflecting in Lufan's mind.
However, Lufan had no intention of prying into someone else's Mind Technique; he did not try to memorize the meridian operation route but instead shifted his attention to how Duanmu Xue managed to absorb Heaven and Earth Vital Energy into her body.
Yet before Lufan could seriously sense it, the connection of energy was interrupted again. It turned out that at this moment, seeing that her previous strike had failed to achieve its goal, Duanmu Xue raised her arm high once more, lifted her body, clenched her fist into a hammer shape, and with a whoosh, she brought it down!
Overlord Hammer!
Feeling this strike was even more ferocious than the previous two, Lufan couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could he forget that this girl was nicknamed Violent Queen? Although she had intentions of helping him, given her personality, it was likely she would want to enjoy herself in battle first.
Unfortunately for him, in order to seek understanding, he couldn't dodge. With no other choice, Lufan had to once again brace himself for the impact. The cost of taking this hammer strike was that he felt like a wooden post being smashed by a pile driver; his body sank down again until the ground reached his knees.
After taking this hammer strike, Lufan's face turned bitter. If it weren't for his recent surge in strength, he definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand this blow. Even so, he still felt a heaviness in his chest.
What frustrated him even more was that this time Duanmu Xue seemed to have discovered something amusing; she raised her arm again and struck down with another Overlord Hammer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The spectators nearby watched as Lufan was repeatedly hammered down like a groundhog and were all dumbfounded. This scene looked wrong; why did it seem like only one side was being beaten? Wasn't it supposed to be an evenly matched fight with unpredictable outcomes?
A Qi's eyes twitched at the sight and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this beautiful woman? She's so pretty yet fights so violently. Does she have some deep-seated grudge against that guy?"
"This is our Big Sister!" Miko said proudly.
"Quite fitting!" A Qi praised and then glanced at Lufan with an expression of sympathy. "Tsk tsk, how tragic!"
"It seems you're going to lose your bet; our Big Sister is going to win!"
"Do you think I'm blind?" A Qi scoffed. "Can't you see that guy is deliberately letting that violent beauty hit him? Moreover, that violent beauty has issues too; she's intentionally connecting her energy with him so he can experience changes in her cultivation technique. This is clearly dual cultivation!"
"Dual... dual cultivation? What are you talking about! Pervert!" Upon hearing this, Miko blushed furiously as if recalling something and glared fiercely at A Qi while pulling her sister back a few steps as if trying to avoid contamination, as if A Qi were a disgusting pest.
"I said something wrong?" A Qi looked at Fatty in confusion. "Why did she suddenly look at me like that?"
Dual cultivation in martial arts refers to the collaboration between Martial Cultivators through the connection of their energy, studying martial arts together to enhance their skills. It is also a common way of exchanging martial knowledge, typically reserved for those who trust each other deeply; people with differing intentions cannot achieve this.
Fatty was even more confused. His understanding of cultivation was purely that of a novice; he had no idea what they were talking about.
As for the others, they looked at A Qi with pity. Poor A Qi had no idea that what he was saying was completely different from what Miko was thinking, and he was being seen as a rogue.
"No! I think another way to describe the current situation is more appropriate," Zhao Xingjian said thoughtfully.
"What description?" Miko immediately shifted her attention.
"Domestic violence! When my dad made my mom angry when I was little, and she hit him, it looked just like this scene. I've seen it many times," Zhao Xingjian said calmly.
The three men nearby looked at Zhao Xingjian with admiration; clearly, he was someone with stories to tell. Your dad is truly remarkable!
At that moment, Duanmu Xue finally couldn't hold back any longer, stumbling slightly as she turned to look over here, glaring angrily!
Having endured dozens of punches, Lufan, whose feet were almost submerged up to his thighs, finally grasped a hint of understanding and shouted, "I get it now! So that's how it is!"
With that, he leaped up and sat down cross-legged. (To be continued.)
