However, before Chu Qinghe could grumble in his heart for long, Yaoyue's five fingers curled into claws and quickly grabbed at Chu Qinghe's chest, even faster than before.

Seeing this, Chu Qinghe rolled his eyes, then raised his hand and quickly clapped it lightly against Yaoyue's hand.

The palm tore through space, and blood-red hues surrounded it.

With her keen eyesight, Yaoyue immediately recognized that Chu Qinghe was using the Blood Fiend Palm that Qu Feiyan had been practicing every day recently.

Moreover, judging from the aura of blood surrounding him when he uses it, his mastery of the Blood Fiend Palm is at a higher level than that of Qu Feiyan.

Yaoyue let out a soft exclamation in her heart, but her action of slapping Chu Qinghe remained unchanged.

The next instant, as their palms met, feeling the force from her own hands, Yaoyue raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's actually the 'Blood Fiend Palm' at the 'Return to Simplicity' realm!"

Then, Yaoyue flicked her hand towards Chu Qinghe and said, "Although I have suppressed my cultivation and strength, it is a bit too much of an underestimation of me to fight with this trashy Xuan-rank martial art."

As the voice fell, and as Yaoyue's palm suddenly approached Chu Qinghe, which was still three feet away from him, Chu Qinghe suddenly felt a suction force bursting from Yaoyue's hand.

Surrounded by this force, Chu Qinghe was unexpectedly pulled towards Yaoyue.

If this suction force is allowed to pull, Chu Qinghe's chest will end up hitting Yaoyue's palm.

Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow at the martial arts technique that Yaoyue was using.

The next instant, soaring sword energy suddenly burst forth from Chu Qinghe's body.

With the internal force concentrated and mixed with the sharp sword intent, it instantly tore apart the peculiar force that Yaoyue had used to envelop Chu Qinghe through "Shifting Flowers and Jade" completely.

At the same time, several sword-shaped internal forces burst forth from Chu Qinghe's chest and shot towards Yaoyue.

However, when these sword-shaped internal forces were still an inch away from Yaoyue, a special sharpness suddenly burst forth from them, directly tearing a part of Yaoyue's protective true qi.

Unfortunately, as the protective aura was torn apart, the energy of these internal forces was also completely exhausted.

Even so, this scene still made Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai beside her look somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that when someone reaches the Grandmaster level like Yaoyue, their internal energy is transformed into true qi, circulating throughout their body, making them difficult for ordinary martial artists to break.

However, Chu Qinghe was only at the second-rate perfection level of cultivation, yet these few bursts of internal force were able to break through Yaoyue's protective true qi. This was something that even ordinary innate realm martial artists would find difficult to do.

"Is this the perfect level of sword intent? It is indeed powerful."

Feeling the sharpness contained in Chu Qinghe's internal energy just now, Yaoyue felt a slight unease in her heart.

Yaoyue had some understanding of the power of artistic conception from the book, but this was the first time she had truly felt the sword intent.

At this moment, after personally experiencing it, Yaoyue discovered that the power of this sword intent was even greater than she had expected.

Then, Yaoyue flipped her fair hand, her strength increasing again as she quickly closed in.

In the courtyard.

As Chu Qinghe and Yaoyue moved back and forth among the plants in the garden, their fighting movements became faster and faster.

Yaoyue's expression gradually changed from nonchalant to surprised.

Standing next to Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai suddenly spoke up, "I didn't expect his fighting style to be so experienced."

Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Qu Feiyan immediately asked, "Is your fighting skill very high, young master?"

Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "Judging from his moves and reactions in battle, he is far beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists. It's as if he has experienced hundreds or thousands of battles, and every move he makes is just right."

As he spoke, a hint of amazement appeared in Dongfang Bubai's eyes.

If Chu Qinghe belongs to a martial arts sect like the Sun Moon Sect, it's not surprising that he's experienced countless battles.

But given that Chu Qinghe was in a small place like Yushui City, his mature fighting style seemed rather inexplicable.

In the end, Dongfang Bubai could only attribute these to his talent.

After all, geniuses are creatures that are inherently unreasonable.

Dongfang Bubai watched with great interest, but Qu Feiyan next to him was feeling uncomfortable.

At this moment, as Yaoyue used even more of her strength, the speed of their fight was so fast that Qu Feiyan felt dizzy.

Simply put, it's completely impossible to see clearly.

At this moment, Qu Feiyan realized that the idea that watching masters duel helps improve one's strength was a lie.

If you're not strong enough, you can't even see what others are doing, let alone watch. You can only hear the noise. How can that help you improve? It's more like a blow to your self-esteem.

The battle lasted for nearly 15 minutes.

With his palms facing each other, Chu Qinghe's body floated back several steps. However, he did not make another move. Instead, he landed lightly next to the stone table.

"I'm not playing anymore, that's too much of a cheat."

Chu Qinghe initially intended to bully Yaoyue by taking advantage of his higher cultivation level.

Who would have thought that Yaoyue would become increasingly shameless?

During the previous battle, when Yaoyue's strength was maintained at the first-class perfect realm, she was fine.

After all, Chu Qinghe had used the combat simulator for a month before, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a veteran of countless battles.

But just now, when Yaoyue made her move, she had clearly used the strength of the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

No matter how strong Chu Qinghe is, it's impossible for him to cross so many realms.

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Yaoyue, who was standing on a rose bush in the courtyard, smiled gently. Her body traced a path in the air before landing next to the stone table.

Seeing this, Qu Feiyan came over.

"Sister Yue, how strong is the young master?"

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue, who was sitting next to Chu Qinghe, said slowly, "No one below the Innate Realm can rival him."

After a pause, Yaoyue added, "If compared to ordinary martial artists, he might be slightly inferior to a typical mid-stage Innate Realm martial artist."

Martial artists are, after all, divided into different ranks.

Even with the same cultivation level, the strength of ordinary martial artists and prodigies is vastly different, so they cannot be generalized.

Qu Feiyan's eyes widened and she asked, "Is it really that strong?"

Chu Qinghe, after taking a sip of water, glanced at Qu Feiyan and said irritably, "You talk like I'd get an extra copper coin for lying to you."

After pursing her lips, Qu Feiyan asked again, "Young Master, how did you manage to break through three realms in succession?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and then said, "Let's accumulate strength and unleash it later!"

"Accumulate knowledge and experience, then unleash its power..."

However, upon hearing Chu Qinghe's explanation, Qu Feiyan's face darkened, and she didn't know where to begin her rant.

After a few breaths, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe and said softly, "Young Master, if you think I'm stupid, just say so. You don't need to say it so euphemistically!"
