No!
At this moment, Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji, who were attacking, felt an intense sense of unease.
Liu Yunqing stood directly in front of them. His expression showed no hint of panic.
What startled Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji even more was that not only was Liu Yunqing not flustered, but a faint smile played on his lips, as if he was eagerly anticipating their attack.
There was something fishy!
Stop!
Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji realized something was wrong in an instant. When they were three zhang away from Liu Yunqing and Chu Fan, they forcefully halted their charge and then rapidly retreated to their original positions.
"Eh?"
"Gentlemen, do you like to play around when you're bored?"
"Weren't you going to spar with me?"
"What's the meaning of this?"
"Scared?"
Liu Yunqing appeared disappointed, not expecting Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji to be so cautious.
With Chu Fan present, he truly had no fear of their attacks. Deep down, he actually wished they would charge forward, allowing Chu Fan to defeat and heavily injure them. This way, neither Hu Xiao Tang nor Bai Hua Men could pose a threat to Yun Shan Sect.
Unexpectedly, the two were too cunning and halted their momentum and retreated at the critical moment.
People, the richer they are, the more they fear death.
The stronger they are, the more they fear death.
Having finally achieved their current strength, neither Tuoba Lie nor Sun Wuji wished to capsize in a ditch.
"It's just as I suspected!"
Upon hearing Liu Yunqing's words, Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji gritted their teeth, their expressions becoming extremely grim. They were now certain that Liu Yunqing not only wasn't worried about their attack but actually hoped they would attack him.
Where could the scheme or trap be hidden?
The two quickly scanned the area around Liu Yunqing, believing that his smug confidence meant he had definitely set up traps around them, otherwise, he wouldn't be so composed.
However, after looking around, they couldn't discern any anomalies in the surroundings, completely overlooking that Liu Yunqing's greatest asset was standing right beside him.
They had never taken Chu Fan seriously mainly because of his youth.
In the eyes of Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji, both first-class Grandmasters, even if Chu Fan was formidable, at such a young age, he couldn't possibly be a Grandmaster.
And even if he possessed extraordinary talent and was indeed a Grandmaster.
What use would a Grandmaster be in such a situation?
As for an equal Grandmaster, it was out of the question.
Such a young Grandmaster.
Anyone would find it impossible.
"Tuoba Lie, Sun Wuji, are you just going to maintain this stalemate?"
"If you want to fight, hurry up, don't waste my time."
Seeing their hesitation, Liu Yunqing began to urge them on, knowing that Chu Fan didn't have much time to waste here.
Moreover, the entrance to the secret realm had already opened, and he was eager to see what lay within.
The provocation was useless.
The more he acted this way, the more the cautious Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji felt something was amiss.
Retreat!
Unable to ascertain Liu Yunqing's preparations, Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji exchanged glances and chose to withdraw.
There was no other way; they were too afraid to take the risk.
Seeing them about to leave, Liu Yunqing, who was determined to use someone else's hand to kill, became truly anxious.
He knew that Chu Fan wouldn't stay at Yun Shan Sect forever; he would leave once he obtained what was in the secret realm.
With Hu Xiao Tang and Bai Hua Men posing threats that were not eliminated, Liu Yunqing foresaw that after Chu Fan left, the two factions would inevitably pressure Yun Shan Sect again, forcing him to hand over everything he obtained from the secret realm.
If that happened, all of Yun Shan Sect's recent efforts would have been in vain.
To prevent this from occurring, Liu Yunqing suddenly moved, charging towards Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji, initiating the conflict himself.
His idea was simple: even if he couldn't make Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji perish here, he wanted to use the rare opportunity of Chu Fan's presence to heavily injure them.
Once they were heavily injured, they would no longer pose any threat to Yun Shan Sect.
"What's going on?"
Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji were stunned when Liu Yunqing attacked them.
The situation was completely the opposite of what they had anticipated.
The two allied factions, believing their strength was more than enough to deal with Yun Shan Sect, thought that in a normal scenario, Liu Yunqing would be the one to beg for mercy and compromise.
However, the reality was that Liu Yunqing not only refused to compromise or beg for mercy, but he even chose to attack them when they were no longer going to press the issue.
In the blink of an eye, everything happened.
Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji couldn't fathom Liu Yunqing's trump card and didn't want to fight.
But facing Liu Yunqing, who was determined to instigate a fight, it was difficult to avoid even if they didn't want to, as the distance between them wasn't great, only about ten meters.
Liu Yunqing, fighting two against one, unleashed punches towards them simultaneously.
With comparable strength and not going all out, Liu Yunqing's two punches were easily blocked by Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji.
"Liu Yunqing, do you truly seek death?"
The hot-tempered Tuoba Lie's eyes widened as he glared fiercely at Liu Yunqing.
The dignity of a strong person could not be belittled.
Although Liu Yunqing was also a first-class Grandmaster, in Tuoba Lie's view, his initiating the conflict was a complete disregard for him, a first-class Grandmaster.
"Hmph, if you have the guts, fight!"
"You gathered here and now you're retreating, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"I'm not afraid of both of you alone, yet you two are afraid of me alone, hahahaha..."
"Hahahaha..." The people from Yun Shan Sect behind them also burst into laughter, each with a look of satisfaction.
In contrast, the people from Hu Xiao Tang and Bai Hua Men, who had arrived with such imposing momentum, now wore gloomy expressions, like chickens that had lost a fight.
Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji exchanged glances again.
With just a look, they understood each other's thoughts.
Both retreated simultaneously.
"Liu Yunqing, if you have the guts, follow us!"
Their simple thought was that if Liu Yunqing wanted to die, they would oblige him.
However, uncertain of what traps he had set, they didn't intend to make the area they were in the battlefield. They planned to lure him elsewhere before dealing with him properly.
Liu Yunqing naturally knew what they were planning. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Fan, as without Chu Fan's participation, he alone couldn't possibly contend with Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji.
Chu Fan didn't speak, but his forward steps conveyed his reassurance to Liu Yunqing to proceed boldly.
Trouble was something Chu Fan always disliked.
He could naturally see that Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji wouldn't completely retreat just from Liu Yunqing's intimidation.
To avoid future disturbances, he decided to cooperate with Liu Yunqing and drive away both factions at once.
Who was he?
Why should Liu Yunqing heed his opinion?
Although Liu Yunqing's glance at Chu Fan lasted only a second, it was still caught by Tuoba Lie and Sun Wuji, who were preparing to shift the battlefield.
The two were perplexed, and they couldn't help but wonder if this young man was the source of Liu Yunqing's audacious confidence.
However, after failing to sense any anomaly from Chu Fan, they thought they were overthinking.
A young man in his early twenties.
What qualifications did he have to possess the strength to harm them?
