Pfft—

The Azure Sky Blade sliced through the void, its sharp edge chopping into the energy shield around Pei Xuan with a pfft, and unexpectedly embedded itself within it.

Crack—

Immediately after, a crackling sound followed.

The saber seemed to anticipate Pei Xuan's moves, cutting straight toward Pei Xuan's neck as he dodged.

The blade sank into the fierce and tough flesh, chopping at the neck bone, producing a cracking sound.

Pei Xuan's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"Such speed... No, such a bizarre saber skill!"

Such thoughts flashed through Pei Xuan's mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed black and red energy, retreating rapidly. His speed was faintly faster than Lin Zheyu's.

"Who are you, and why did you attack me?"

Lin Zheyu squinted at the opponent and spoke coldly.

The person before him was very powerful, likely at the peak of Transforming Force level.

From the brief encounter just now, if it were a life-and-death battle, Lin Zheyu had an eighty percent chance of killing the opponent.

However, there was one troublesome problem. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The opponent's speed was very fast, much faster than Lin Zheyu's.

The unique black and red energy of the Demon Martial Artist was somewhat similar to true force, vastly reducing air resistance.

Lin Zheyu had not yet condensed true force. Relying solely on tremendous power to withstand the wind resistance and break out supersonic speed was still somewhat inadequate against the man before him.

"What a pity that the saber didn't decapitate the opponent." Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He stared at the demon-like man opposite him, the golden qi blood within him surged, tightly gripping the Azure Sky Blade with his right hand, his perception field pushed to the extreme, ready to unleash his strongest strike at any moment.

"Who are you?"

"You're not Lin Zheyu?"

Pei Xuan frowned, asking coldly.

The wound on his neck from Lin Zheyu's chop had already healed, leaving no trace.

Such strong regenerative ability made Lin Zheyu envious.

"Lin Zheyu?"

"You must be mistaken, I don't know anyone named Lin Zheyu." Lin Zheyu's heart tightened, but his face remained indifferent.

'How does he know my identity, and how did he track me down, is it some kind of secret technique?' Lin Zheyu wondered.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan was also puzzled.

He took out the Ink Jade Disc, checking the guidance on it, confirming it was indeed the middle-aged man before him.

However, based on his investigation, Lin Zheyu was just a youngster who hadn't even reached the Transforming Force level, which was indisputable.

The Hidden Dragon List was the Great Wei Observatory's method, no one could deceive its power level investigation.

Yet the strength the opponent revealed during the encounter was at least at the peak of Transforming Force.

"Could it be a mistake with personal belongings?"

"Damn it, a bunch of useless fools, couldn't even handle such a minor thing."

Pei Xuan was furious inside, planning to eliminate those incompetent guys after returning.

"What relationship do you have with Lin Zheyu?"

Pei Xuan asked, coldly.

He believed that even if the man before him wasn't Lin Zheyu, he must be related to Lin Zheyu.

"Hehe, since you've discovered it, I won't hide it anymore."

"Was it also your group that sent people to assassinate that kid last time?"

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, revealing a smile, and spoke with a grin.

He planned to pretend he was helping himself by eliminating those Demon Martial Artists' seniors, intending to probe some information from the opponent.

"So it was you!"

"Hmph, it's good that it's you. Once I kill you, I'll find another opportunity to kill that kid!"

Pei Xuan's face turned vicious.

His eyes started to darken, an endless savage emotion arose from his heart, his body surged with black and red energy, growing stronger.

"Is this the real strength of the peak of Transforming Force, so powerful!"

Lin Zheyu narrowed his eyes, a powerful fighting spirit ignited within his heart.

He hadn't had a completely unleashed battle for a long time.

Now encountering an opponent of equal strength, even if there was a gap, it wasn't very large.

It's perfect to use the opponent to test his own strength.
