"Your opponent today is me."
Ye Liuyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eye twitched twice.
He knew very well that he was unlikely to get rid of Wu Zhu today.
Thinking about it, he suddenly burst into laughter:
"Well done! Well done, Mr. Wu."
Then, Ye Liuyun clasped his hands together.
"The Flowing Clouds Disperse, the Clouds Vanish!"
"Boom!"
In an instant, the primordial energy of heaven and earth converged wildly, condensing into a giant hand with a diameter of a hundred feet in mid-air!
As soon as the giant hand appeared, it pressed down directly towards Wu Zhu.
Despite Ye Liuyun's attack, Wu Zhu remained unmoved.
The next moment, the tip of the iron rod he held in his hand suddenly lit up with a sound and dark red patterns, and then he struck at the giant hand.
The clashes produced a series of thunderous booms.
Immediately afterwards, the heavens and earth trembled violently, the wind and clouds rose in chaos, and dust flew everywhere!
"Huh! Huh!"
Immediately afterwards, two figures were seen chasing and fighting each other rapidly in the sky.
Their figures moved so fast that only blurry afterimages remained.
Every time the Five Bamboo Iron Rod clashed with Ye Liuyun's true energy, it would create a visible ripple in the air.
Wherever it passed, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
"clang!"
After the initial clash, Ye Liuyun used the force to drift back three zhang, and another tear appeared on his sleeve.
He glanced down at his cuffs and burst into laughter.
"it is good!"
"As expected of the Fifth Master."
Wu Zhu's figure slowly floated down and stood quietly in the center of a ruin, his iron rod pointing diagonally at the ground.
The blindfold remained motionless in the strong wind, as if it were out of place in this world.
"Back then, you didn't seem to have this kind of strength."
Ye Liuyun casually pointed a finger, instantly shattering a flying rock that was rolling towards him into dust.
Wu Zhu remained silent, and said in a cold tone:
"you're old."
Instead of getting angry, Ye Liuyun laughed, and with a burst of energy, launched another attack on Wu Zhu.
With a single strike, true energy surged like clouds, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Wu Zhu precisely struck the weakest point of the descending cloud with the iron rod in his hand.
There was a crisp "click" sound.
That terrifying cloud of true energy exploded instantly.
Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes flashed with astonishing light:
"Wonderful!"
"It is extremely simple and unadorned, yet it aligns perfectly with the Way of Heaven; this is no longer martial arts of the mortal realm."
In Ye Liuyun's view, Wu Zhu's moves were so simple that they had no moves at all.
But the iron rod in his hand was unusually fast.
Great simplicity!
Wu Zhu's emphasis is on speed.
Hearing what Ye Liuyun said, Wu Zhu remained calm and replied:
"Your database is very interesting."
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun frowned deeply.
"database?"
He couldn't understand what Wu Zhu was saying, and Wu Zhu didn't seem inclined to explain it to him.
And so, the two remained silent for quite a long time.
The numerous guards who had retreated a great distance were utterly shocked upon witnessing the earth-shattering spectacle following the battle between the two grandmasters.
Who exactly is the one with their eyes covered?
"He actually managed to fight Grandmaster Ye to a standstill?"
"Could he be a newly promoted Grandmaster, just like that burly man from before?"
"How is this possible? When did it become so easy to advance to the Grandmaster level?"
"Gentlemen, you shouldn't think about this too much. The Empress has been kidnapped. How are we going to explain this to His Majesty when we get back?"
"We can't blame ourselves for this, can we? The ones who made the move were Grandmasters, and two of them at that."
"..."
Meanwhile, Fan Xian, who was hiding in the shadows, was completely stunned after witnessing what had just happened!
"this?"
"I am not wrong, right?"
"Uncle Wuzhu...is he really that strong?"
"He can even fight Ye Liuyun, one of the four grandmasters, to a standstill?"
"Is he even human?"
Fan Xian said in surprise, knowing that Wu Zhu was strong, but he did not expect him to be this strong.
Shocked, he quickly looked towards the field.
At this moment, Wu Zhu was still facing off against Ye Liuyun.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, Wu Zhu turned around and ignored Ye Liuyun, walking away unhurriedly.
Seeing this, Ye Liuyun's brows furrowed, and he shouted to stop him:
"Fifth Master..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhu paused, turned his back to Ye Liuyun, and said:
"Do you want to fight again?"
"There's no point in us continuing to fight like this."
After he said this, Ye Liuyun fell silent.
He knew in his heart that there was no point in continuing to fight Wu Zhu.
Seeing that Ye Liuyun did not reply, Wu Zhu did not linger any longer and continued to walk away.
Watching Wu Zhu's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Liuyun frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"This Mr. Wu is truly an extraordinary person!"
"So many years have passed, but he looks exactly the same as when we first met, without any change in appearance."
"The body's Qi and blood are also at their peak."
Ye Liuyun sighed with emotion.
Then, he looked in another direction. 227
Those people, taking advantage of Wu Zhu's distraction, took the Empress away from that direction.
"If it were Fifth Master who wanted to harm the Empress, it would be understandable."
"After all, his young lady was killed by the Empress back then."
"But he just said that he didn't know the people who came to kidnap the queen."
Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun glanced at himself, his brows furrowed with doubt.
When he first saw Wu Zhu appear, he subconsciously assumed that Wu Zhu was with the other group of people.
But when asked, they learned that Wu Zhu was not one of them.
Ye Liuyun had complete faith in Wu Zhu's words.
In his mind, Wu Zhu was not a liar.
That's why Ye Liuyun was even more puzzled.
If those people weren't with Wu Zhu, then who were they?
"With a Grandmaster in charge and three Rank 9 martial artists, how many forces in the world can do that?"
After much thought, Ye Liuyun still couldn't come up with a solution.
"Hoohoo!"
He took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and then looked towards the direction of the imperial city.
"Emperor Qing." (The skirt)
"I've done my best to do what you asked me to do."
"But the opponent has two Grandmasters, so you can't blame me." 7
After expressing these sentiments, Ye Liuyun did not linger and got up to leave.
