instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artists watching, the vast majority of whom were confused, looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Racking their brains, they couldn't think of the terror of this move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only some experts, with furrowed brows, seemed to see a clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well struck!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Gucheng saw this, his eyes

him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he was somewhat amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the opponent he recognized!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his cultivation was only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had already exceeded his own cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly reaching the level of the middle stage of the Peerless realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If given time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, he might not be unable to become a powerhouse of the Heaven-Human realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't I understand a little bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking blankly at Ye Gucheng's even more casual counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers felt somewhat unwell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you sure this is a sword duel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you sure this is a duel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come it feels worse than ordinary street thugs fighting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That soft sword move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does it really have power?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's hearts were filled with complaints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a very few experts seemed to see something from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at them tightly without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid of missing a detail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound of surprise suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was too sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of surprise in the voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has Master seen something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Zhengwo, who was serving on the side, asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This move is extraordinary, it has already glimpsed some mysteries of the Land

heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then nodded deeply in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zuihua Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of move is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng's face looked somewhat suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could understand some of Ximen Chuixue's sword moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to Ye Gucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he

confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't understand at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it should be that he has gained some
