?Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Sudden Attack_1 Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Sudden Attack_1 Xu Dan and Lu Kunfeng did not release long-range attacks but engaged in close-quarter combat, which could only be described as extremely intense.
The clash between the spear and the long spear, the collision of golden light and blackish-red glow, left the bystanders utterly amazed.
Born with incredible strength and having taken the Elixir given to him by Xu Fan, Xu Dan’s physical toughness, boosted by the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Zen, had far surpassed that of other martial artists of his level.
Although Lu Kunfeng lacked these advantages, his cultivation realm was higher than Xu Dan’s, with a more solid and powerful True Qi, especially when combined with the deeply mastered Lu family spear techniques, making him no less formidable than Xu Dan.
In a short span of time, the fight between the two was at a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
The nearby landscaped lawn, once a beautiful sight, had long since lost its charm, pitted and uneven, while a few nearby decorative trees had also been shattered by the stray energies.
The onlookers had to keep moving back from an initial distance of a few dozen meters to fifty meters away, their expressions one of high tension.
However, the fight did not continue as everyone had imagined it would.
After more than twenty rounds of exchange, Xu Dan suddenly seized an opening in Lu Kunfeng’s defense and without the slightest hesitation, decisively drove a punch through the layers of spear shadows, landing it on Lu Kunfeng’s chest and abdomen.
Thump!
A muffled sound.
Lu Kunfeng couldn’t help but grunt, his feet involuntarily shuffling back more than a dozen steps, and he still couldn’t stabilize his form.
The blackish-red protective light emanating from around him flickered violently, as if it was about to extinguish.
With a sneer, Xu Dan, not one to relent when having an advantage, certainly wouldn’t let Lu Kunfeng off and continued to charge forward, intending to take down Lu Kunfeng in one fell swoop.
However, having been through many battles over the years, Lu Kunfeng was immensely experienced in combat and, even in the face of peril, didn’t panic at all.
He suddenly reached into his pocket, fumbled about, and then threw something at Xu Dan, who was charging at him head-on.
????0.??
Whiz whiz whiz!
A few dark shadows flashed by in an instant, shooting towards Xu Dan.
If it were nighttime, they would have been even harder to detect.
A sense of crisis surged in Xu Dan’s mind, and his face changed drastically.
Without time to think, he hurriedly twisted his body, adopting a very unsightly and awkward position to dodge to the side.
Lu Kunfeng, managing to halt Xu Dan’s pursuit, breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he stabbed his long spear into the ground behind him, trying to use the spear to steady himself.
But still, he underestimated the tremendous force of Xu Dan’s punch.
Even though the long spear was deeply embedded in the ground, he was unable to stop immediately and continued to retreat another five or six steps before he finally steadied himself.
And the long spear left deep furrows in the ground.
“Puh…”
Unable to settle his internal energy, Lu Kunfeng spat out a large mouthful of blood.
After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Lu Kunfeng looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Xu Dan.
From the recent fight, he could clearly tell that Xu Dan’s cultivation was obviously not as advanced as his; he must have just broken through to the Martial King level.
As someone who had attained the Martial King status many years ago, whether in the strength or the robustness of True Qi, he surpassed Xu Dan.
Yet, in the recent fight, he lost to Xu Dan.
How could this be possible?
Moreover, the opening he had shown was not due to a problem in his combat but because during their exchanges, his internal energy had been destabilized by Xu Dan’s continuous barrage of punches, forcing him to reveal an opening.
In other words, that opening was forcefully blasted out by Xu Dan with his fist.
Having forcibly endured Xu Dan’s punch, Lu Kunfeng felt his internal energy and blood destabilize.
If not for leaning on his long spear, he would have almost lost his balance.
Xu Dan turned his head to look.
He saw several hidden weapons embedded into the concrete wall about a dozen meters behind him, gleaming eerily blue under the sunlight, clearly coated with poison.
Fortunately, Xu Dan had been alert just in time, or else the consequences now would be difficult to imagine.
In the midst of the dire emergency, Lu Kunfeng had drawn out these poisoned hidden weapons, forcing Xu Dan to retreat, giving himself a chance to catch his breath.
Lu Kunfeng’s expression was dark as he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and poured out an apricot-yellow elixir, swallowing it in one gulp.
This was a healing elixir from the Flame Dragon Organization.
Although Lu Kunfeng was not a member of the Flame Dragon Organization, with his status and strength, it wasn’t difficult for him to obtain such an item from them.
As the elixir went down, Lu Kunfeng’s complexion visibly improved, and his breathing stabilized.
This time Lu Kunfeng let out a long breath and, refocusing on Xu Dan, said gravely, “Who exactly are you?
We have no old grudges, and no recent quarrels.
How about both of us take a step back?”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Ma Yitai and the others changed drastically.
Lu Kunfeng was known to act overbearingly and looked down on others, but now he was actually suggesting a compromise, which clearly indicated his wariness of Xu Dan.
Otherwise, given his personality, he would never suggest “taking a step back” and would have directly killed Xu Dan.
Xu Dan sneered disdainfully, “Actually, you should count yourself lucky, old man, because you ran into me.
If you had encountered my young master, heh, you wouldn’t even have the chance to make a move, let alone talk, and you would be dead on the spot.”
The contempt in his eyes was completely unmasked.
Lu Kunfeng couldn’t have known that the “young master” Xu Dan mentioned was the now famous Xu Fan, taking it instead as belittlement.
Instantly enraged, with his face turning crimson, Lu Kunfeng said icily, “Your arrogance knows no bounds.
Do you really think having gained a slight upper hand means you can dismiss everyone else?
You should know that there are always people out there stronger than you!”
“Not to mention anything else, just take the recently joined Xu Fan of the Flame Dragon Organization—that man is a genius, a strong warrior.
At such a young age, he has killed countless foreign masters and established his might in the world!”
Suddenly hearing Lu Kunfeng mention Xu Fan gave Xu Dan a jolt.
But just as he was about to speak, his expression changed, and he shouted angrily, “You’re courting death, old man!”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Xu Dan’s figure flashed towards Xu Xuanyi’s direction like a bolt of lightning.
While on the move, he furiously operated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Zen technique, his body emanating a splendid golden light, turning him into a likeness of the Golden Body Arhat.
Xu Dan’s speed was undeniably fast, but he still found it too slow.
Just in the moment of his distraction, Lu Kunfeng had suddenly seized the opportunity to make a move on Xu Xuanyi.
