It was almost in the blink of an eye that Xiang Yinglong had already arrived in front of Zhou Yu.
Facing Xiang Yinglong’s fierce punch, Zhou Yu immediately activated Dragon Gang Strength and met it head-on.
A loud explosion erupted.
Their fists collided in an instant.
Zhou Yu had the protection of Golden Cauldron Technique; ordinary Saint Realm level attacks could hardly breach his defense.
Therefore, their figures touched and separated instantly, both stepping back seven or eight steps.
After one move, Xiang Yinglong stared coldly at Zhou Yu.
"Golden Cauldron Technique truly lives up to its reputation; it actually allowed you, a newbie who just broke into the Saint Realm, to withstand my punch," he said.
"However, today, I must see just how tough this ’turtle shell’ of yours really is," he added.
The moment Xiang Yinglong’s words fell, he threw another punch.
This punch was three parts more ferocious than the last.
Zhou Yu also prepared to defend with another punch.
But this time, Xiang Yinglong did not choose to confront Zhou Yu directly.
Just as their fists were about to collide again, his figure suddenly twisted at an odd angle, then he changed his attack mode, delivering a sideways kick aimed directly at Zhou Yu’s waist.
This sudden change of move was extremely abrupt.
Moreover, after completing the move, his leg suddenly burst forth with a surge of blue Gang Jin.
This blue Gang Jin was clearly different from ordinary Gang Jin.
It contained an extremely strong tearing force, as if even the space itself felt like it was being ripped apart.
This was Xiang Yinglong’s signature technique—Qingfeng Po, notoriously famous within the entire martial pavilion.
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes.
Xiang Yinglong was indeed shrewd; such a common move had suddenly transformed into a lethal attack.
The transformation was so swift that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to react in time.
However, Zhou Yu was no ordinary person.
He immediately activated Mountain River Steps, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Xiang Yinglong’s kick fiercely struck the spot where Zhou Yu had just been.
Instantly, the bluestone ground was cleaved open like a block of tofu, creating a nearly half-meter wide crack that was bottomless.
And it was accompanied by violent tremors,
as if an earthquake had occurred.
Zhou Yu, having dodged this attack, appeared on the other side.
He looked at the effects of this strike with his eyelids twitching.
Such a tyrannical move.
If he had been hit by that, he might have gotten injured despite having the Golden Cauldron Technique for protection.
People who could become ministers really were extraordinary.
At this moment, Xiang Yinglong’s gaze suddenly turned towards Zhou Yu, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.
"Mountain River Steps?" he queried.
"What? Didn’t you send people to investigate me?"
"Didn’t they even find out about this?"
Xiang Yinglong snorted coldly.
"Zhou Yu, do you think just because you have Mountain River Steps, you can do whatever you want?"
"Today, I’ll show you the true strength of Haizhou Martial Pavilion."
As he spoke, he suddenly stamped his foot heavily on the ground.
Following this stomp,
the ground beneath Zhou Yu’s feet suddenly emitted a strange fluctuation.
Zhou Yu looked startled and immediately deployed Divine Sense to investigate.
But just then, the ground beneath his feet seemed to turn to quicksand. Zhou Yu felt a heavy pulling force coming from below.
"Is this... a Void Trap Formation?"
Zhou Yu instantly recognized the origin of this formation.
The so-called Void Trap Formation is a type of large scale formation, generally used to protect sects or important places. This formation can change the gravity of the area through special materials.
The Void Trap Formation is different from ordinary formations; it has only one requirement, which is a large area.
If the area is too small, an opponent could easily break free, which would render it useless.
At this moment, Zhou Yu’s Divine Sense swept over and found that the scope of this Void Trap Formation covered the entire headquarters of Haizhou Martial Pavilion.
This meant that as long as he was within the range of Haizhou Martial Pavilion headquarters, he would be affected by the Void Trap Formation.
What a grand gesture!
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but marvel.
At this time, Xiang Yinglong revealed a mocking expression,
"Since you knew I investigated you, how could you think that I wouldn’t know you’re versed in Mountain River Steps?"
"Since I knew about your Mountain River Steps, did you think I wouldn’t be prepared?"
"Why don’t you try it now, see if you can still flee like you did just now?"
Xiang Yinglong was right.
Due to the presence of the Void Trap Formation, Zhou Yu’s Mountain River Steps had lost its ghostly speed.
If Xiang Yinglong made another move now, Zhou Yu wouldn’t be able to dodge using Mountain River Steps.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing through them.
"Originally, I just wanted to play along with you, make you realize the difficulty and give up obstructing," he said.
"But now it seems like you are really looking for death," he added.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish."
Xiang Yinglong laughed coldly,
"How do you plan to grant my wish?"
"By stepping over your chest as I leave this place."
In Xiang Yinglong’s eyes, a cold murderous intent burst forth,
As he spoke, Xiang Yinglong again used Qingfeng Po, sending a sweeping kick aimed at Zhou Yu’s waist.
This time, Zhou Yu didn’t dodge,
he immediately fully activated the Golden Cauldron Technique and simultaneously, the Dragon Gang Strength exploded a hundredfold.
In that instant, over a hundred golden dragon-shaped Qi Forces appeared.
At that moment, it seemed as if the air itself was being blasted apart.
Zhou Yu punched towards Xiang Yinglong’s leg,
Their attacks collided in an instant.
This time, there was no evenly matched scenario.
Xiang Yinglong clearly underestimated the power of this punch.
The moment their punches met, the terrifying force from Zhou Yu’s punch surged towards his right leg.
His right leg’s meridians burst apart, the entire right leg mangled,
Xiang Yinglong’s face drastically changed, and he immediately retreated,
however, Zhou Yu didn’t intend to let him go and immediately used his movement technique to pursue.
