Inside the main hall in front of the third gate of the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, Duan Jinyan and the people from Ping An Village fought desperately, with gunshots ringing out.
Seeing Duan Jinyan running towards us, Jiang Man cocked her pistol: "I know you hate Duan Jinyan, but he is, after all, your biological father. Are you really willing to let me kill him?"
"All the troubles we've encountered are because of him. If it really comes to that, I'd rather use this method to settle things than see Duan Jinyan continue to do evil!"
I steeled myself and said those words. As I heard the footsteps behind the stone platform getting closer, I gripped my knife and suddenly sprang up: "Attack!"
As I stood up, Duan Jinyan had already run in front of me. He was turning around to observe the situation behind him when he was startled by my voice. As he turned around, he pointed his gun directly at me.
As I stood up, I was deliberately avoiding Duan Jinyan's attack, so the moment he raised his hand, I grabbed his arm.
"Bang!"
Duan Jinyan missed his shot and was immediately tackled to the ground by me. As I held Duan Jinyan down, Jiang Man also raised her hand and fired a shot, deflecting the flare that was slowly falling from the sky, which fell elsewhere like a shooting star.
As the light and shadow shifted, Duan Jinyan fell to the ground, his wrist rapidly twisting as he turned the pistol toward my body.
I caught a glimpse of Duan Jinyan's movements, quickly bent my knee to press down on his wrist holding the gun, and then smashed my forehead into his nose.
Seeing me charge at him, Duan Jinyan tightened his grip on the gun, and taking advantage of my distraction, he suddenly used his legs to lift me up.
Taking advantage of the distance between the two, Duan Jinyan withdrew his left hand and slammed an elbow strike at my head.
Seeing Duan Jinyan's movements, in order to defend myself, I could only loosen my grip on his right arm holding the gun and bend my arm to shield my ear.
"Bang!"
Duan Jinyan's attack was extremely powerful. Although I was prepared, his immense strength still pushed my arm and slammed it into my head, knocking me off him.
When I was learning martial arts from Niu Tou and Ma Mian in Fengmen Village, Niu Tou once told me that in martial arts, brute force is always the best weapon; absolute strength is enough to overcome any lack of skill.
Duan Jinyan was not only exceptionally skilled, but also incredibly strong. After I was struck by him, I felt as if my arm had been hit by a steel pipe, and a deep, bone-chilling pain shot through me.
After just two rounds, I knew in my heart that the difference between me and Duan Jinyan was what Niu Tou meant by "one force can overcome ten techniques".
Duan Jinyan knocked me down with a single blow, giving me no chance to react, and then reached for the gun on the ground.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, Jiang Man swung her gun, sending the pistol flying from the ground, and I pounced on Duan Jinyan again.
At the same time, the flare landed in another direction, plunging the cave into darkness.
"Bang! Bang!"
Jiang Man, hiding behind the stone platform, fired two shots towards Ping'an Village, halting their advance: "Duan Shenxing, they're pressing forward!"
"Hold them off!"
I let out a roar, then pushed off the ground with both feet and lunged at Duan Jinyan again.
Seeing my movement, Duan Jinyan lay down on the ground and grabbed my shoulders the moment I lunged at him. He then used his knee to push against my stomach and threw me away again.
"Bang!"
My back slammed onto the ground, the pain making me gasp for breath, but I ignored the pain and lunged at Duan Jinyan again.
I went through countless hardships and dangers just to catch Duan Jinyan with my own hands. Now he is right in front of me, making me lose all reason. I just want to grab him and vent all my anger and resentment.
Duan Jinyan's martial arts moves are very mixed, showing traces of Chinese martial arts, combat sports, Sanda, and Muay Thai. However, he is able to blend these mixed moves together to make his defense watertight.
I fought Duan Jinyan for less than fifteen seconds and had already suffered several heavy blows. My cheeks were swollen for half a year and one of my eyes was also sealed up.
On the other hand, my attack, despite my best efforts, could only hold off Duan Jinyan at best, and I was completely unable to find any weakness in him.
Jiang Man saw me and Duan Jinyan locked in combat and tried to help several times, but since we were locked in a fierce battle, she was afraid of accidentally hurting me and didn't dare to fire her gun.
"Bang!"
During the fight, Duan Jinyan aimed a knee strike at my abdomen. I immediately crossed my arms and blocked the attack with my hands folded together, while taking a step back.
After a brief exchange, I knew I was no match for Duan Jinyan, and I also knew that Jiang Man was looking for an opportunity. Taking advantage of the distance between us, I immediately prepared to retreat, giving Jiang Man a chance to shoot.
Just as I was about to retreat, the flares in the distance went out, and the hall was plunged into complete darkness once again.
With the only source of light in the hall gone, the fighting crowd lost their composure.
I knew Duan Jinyan was incredibly cunning, and given the lesson learned from the Ze Wang Tomb incident, the moment I lost sight of him, I rushed towards the location where Duan Jinyan had just been, to prevent him from escaping in the chaos.
I was less than half a meter away from Duan Jinyan when I rushed up and threw a horizontal punch to probe his position, but I missed.
"Smack!"
Just as I was about to step forward, another hand reached out and grabbed my wrist. Immediately afterward, I felt a sharp pain in my left ankle and fell downward.
I knew that once I fell to the ground, Duan Jinyan would definitely finish me off and then escape in the chaos, so I grabbed his arm with my backhand, drew the dagger from my waist, and slashed at his arm.
"when!"
As I swung my sword halfway through, a metallic clang suddenly rang out.
Duan Jinyan also had surgery!
When Jiang Man called my name just now, Duan Jinyan must have heard it very clearly.
I drew my sword now to break free from my restraints, while Duan Jinyan, having the upper hand, drew his sword for only one reason.
He wants my life.
Since I attacked him, Duan Jinyan hasn't exchanged a single word with me, and he showed no mercy during our fight, treating me completely as an obstacle in his path.
"ah!!"
Sensing Duan Jinyan's murderous intent, I roared and forcefully pulled his arm, then, relying on my prediction, stabbed him in the chest.
Upon hearing my shout, Duan Jinyan seemed to have anticipated my next move, kicking me in the stomach and creating distance between us.
"brush!"
Just as I was about to rush forward, Jiang Man, who was standing behind me, suddenly turned on her powerful flashlight and shone it on Duan Jinyan's face.
In the pitch-black darkness, Duan Jinyan was suddenly struck by a bright light and instinctively covered his eyes with his arm.
Taking advantage of Duan Shenxing blocking my view, I gripped the knife tightly and suddenly lunged at him.
