After evading Lu Yu's fierce elbow strike, Gu Yunqi stood at a distance, his eyes flashing with brilliance, and said to the Lu Yu before him, "That was dangerous. If I was hit by that strike, even a block of granite would have been shattered!"

Gu Yunqi's expression remained calm, his tone relaxed, as if nothing had happened.

But beneath this calmness, there was a hint of deep apprehension!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu said nothing more, his gaze fixed firmly on Gu Yunqi, his eyes filled with coldness.

At this moment, he could not sense any heaviness from Gu Yunqi's words; instead, they were tinged with a hint of mockery!

Generally, after dodging such a perilous move, anyone would stay on high alert to avoid being hit again by such a powerful elbow strike and dying instantly!

But the ease in Gu Yunqi's words conveyed a clear message!

Gu Yunqi was absolutely confident when facing Lu Yu's move!

"Originally, I thought it would be simple to defeat you!"

Within his words, Gu Yunqi's tone revealed a hint of somberness. He slowly took off his black clothes, revealing his robust muscles, and looked at Lu Yu with a sharp glint in his eyes, "But now it seems I was wrong!"

"Your strength is indeed formidable!"

Saying this, Gu Yunqi gripped his samurai sword with both hands, holding it horizontally before his chest, and coldly said, "It seems that if I don't use some real skills, I'm really not your match today!"

The previous ease and jest in Gu Yunqi's words had vanished, replaced by a serious and earnest tone!

That elbow strike from Lu Yu truly made him feel a threat of death, sensing clearly that if he had been hit by it, he would have died instantly, no doubt!

"But from now on, I will take this seriously!"

Saying so, Gu Yunqi's samurai sword vibrated, emitting a chilling gleam from its blade, "In the next second, you'll find out the consequences of offending our Gu Family!"

With that, Gu Yunqi's body shook, unleashing an incredibly sharp aura that mixed with his killing intent, pressing fiercely toward Lu Yu like a biting cold wind!

Sand!

At the moment this killing intent surged, with a light sound, Gu Yunqi stepped forward, launching himself fiercely toward Lu Yu!

In this charge, Gu Yunqi's speed was more than ten times faster than before, his form leaving a trail of blurred afterimages as he covered the dozens of meters between himself and Lu Yu in the blink of an eye. At that moment, with both hands holding the sword, he brutally swung down at Lu Yu's head!

"Foolish!"

Seeing Gu Yunqi's strike, Lu Yu sneered coldly. In an instant, he exerted force with his feet, his figure flashing backward, narrowly evading Gu Yunqi's strike. The blade was only a few centimeters away, perfectly measured.

"Foolish?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Gu Yunqi coldly laughed without replying, his gaze showing a hint of ridicule.

At this moment, a sharp pain erupted from Lu Yu's chest. Looking down, he saw a cut had been made by Gu Yunqi at some point!

What happened!?

Seeing the wound on his chest, Lu Yu's face showed a hint of shock!

He had clearly evaded Gu Yunqi's vicious strike perfectly, so why did his chest still bear a cut!

"Since childhood, I've practiced martial arts, and my favorite has always been swordsmanship!"

Seeing the uncertain look on Lu Yu's face, Gu Yunqi laughed coldly, a proud expression on his face.

He rubbed his samurai sword, lifted his gaze to Lu Yu, and calmly said, "This is the swordsmanship passed down in my Gu Family, known as the Yin Blade Technique. At its depths, you can strike with an airflow invisible to the naked eye, wounding enemies regardless of how precise your body technique is or how well you measure distance!"

In his words, Gu Yunqi's voice was full of arrogance, and with a swift flick of his samurai sword toward the ground, a razor-thin slash mark appeared on the surface though the blade hadn't touched it!

"See that?"

After creating the slender slash mark, Gu Yunqi said coldly, "Today, you stand no chance of winning!"

With this statement, Gu Yunqi's face was full of cold laughter, appearing incredibly confident, as if victory was already in hand!

"No chance of winning?"

Hearing Gu Yunqi's words, Lu Yu coldly laughed, and then the muscles on his chest moved, sealing up the wound inflicted by Gu Yunqi. As he ceased his bleeding, it was a sight to behold!

"Do you think with these petty tricks, you can defeat me?"

Lu Yu's words carried a tone of disdain, akin to a lion looking at a stray dog, his gaze completely scornful!

"Humph!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Gu Yunqi sneered, and then opened his mouth, "Such arrogance, but next time I will chop your head off and see if you can still close up your wounds then!"

Finishing his sentence, a glint of murderous intent shone in Gu Yunqi's eyes. His figure flickered repeatedly, leaving a trail of afterimages, as he charged once more toward Lu Yu!

"Chop off my head?"

Seeing Gu Yunqi charging at him, Lu Yu sneered, showing a hint of disdain.

Though Gu Yunqi's skills were decent, Lu Yu did not consider him a threat!

At this moment, Lu Yu coldly smiled, his muscles rippling, "Let's see if you really have the skill!"

Saying so, Lu Yu's muscles suddenly bulged, his body enlarging significantly. Without any fancy movements, he moved straight toward Gu Yunqi, looking immensely formidable!

Lu Yu did not fear the Gu Yunqi before him. To him, the so-called Yin Blade Technique, though tricky, was not completely insurmountable!
