Henghai Provincial City.

Duan Family's Grand Manor.

Luo Xiu and the leather-clad woman stood dozens of meters apart, quietly facing each other, neither making the first move.

The formless aura seemed to tear at every inch of space. It placed a heavy burden on the bodies and minds of Duan Chunfeng and the others who planned to watch the battle, making it difficult for them to breathe.

"What a powerful aura… Worthy of being a Sky List Strong One!"

Duan Chunfeng lowered his head, looking at the gravel and pebbles at his feet jumping up and down. He couldn't help but feel aghast. He waved his hand, signaling the Martial Artists from the Duan Family to continue backing away. In a clash between experts of this level, if we get too close, we could easily be caught in the crossfire.

A sudden, fierce gust of wind blew!

The leather-clad woman seized the initiative, flying straight toward Luo Xiu at a low altitude with terrifying might. The distance of dozens of meters was crossed in the blink of an eye! The very ground beneath her was gouged out by her Qi Force, creating a deep trench where she passed! The flowers and greenery on both sides of the trench were also swept up by the strong wind, following in her path!

Yet, Luo Xiu remained unfazed, opting to respond to motion with stillness.

As the leather-clad woman's punch flew toward him, Luo Xiu suddenly stepped forward, throwing a straight punch of his own.

BOOM—!

Amid a deafening roar, The Void began to churn!

A terrifying shockwave erupted from the point of collision, spreading out in all directions while both fighters remained locked in their punching stances. At the same time, the ground beneath their feet repeatedly collapsed and cracked, and the surrounding flowers and greenery were instantly pulverized by the shockwave's tremors!

Upon witnessing this, the distant spectators paled in horror, all of them stunned into silence.

Just a tentative exchange of fists, and it already has such power?

Sky List Strong Ones are terrifying indeed!

Duan Chunfeng wiped the cold sweat from his face, feeling a mixture of fear and relief. He was terrified that he had provoked such a dreadful existence, but he was relieved that a Sky List Strong One was here to deal with Luo Xiu for him.

...

Luo Xiu watched the leather-clad woman expressionlessly, his gaze falling on her beautiful face as he spoke with a faint smile, "Is this what you meant by making me hurt?"

As he spoke, he slowly retracted his hand.

The woman's expression was grave as she watched him, slowly stepping back to put distance between them. Her tightly clenched right fist was trembling slightly, drops of fresh blood dripping from her knuckles.

But more than the pain in her hand, what concerned her was why Luo Xiu could use the same Fist Technique as her.

She asked, "Where did you learn the Mountain Sea Fist?"

Luo Xiu shrugged. "You might not believe me if I told you, but I just learned it on the spot."

Hearing this, the leather-clad woman's gaze hardened. Gathering all her power, she threw another punch.

This time, she used ninety percent of her strength!

Before her fist even shot forward, The Void had already twisted sharply! The ground shattered as dirt and splinters flew into the air, all of it hurtling toward Luo Xiu, carried by the terrifying momentum of her fist, which felt like the mountains and seas were being overturned!

"A Punch to Break the Mountain Sea!"

However, to her surprise, the next moment Luo Xiu performed the exact same move! It wasn't just the movements that were the same. Even his method of channeling energy and the momentum of the fist were identical. He threw a punch that was a perfect copy of hers.

Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with blue light as he boldly met her attack!

"A Punch to Break the Mountain Sea!"

The two substantial fist shadows collided in The Void, unleashing a rolling, thunderous roar.

The Void roiled once again!

Luo Xiu and the leather-clad woman were both blown backward. Several buildings in the distance started to crack and collapse under the impact of the terrifying shockwave.

As she flew backward, her heart was filled with utter shock.

The Mountain Sea Fist is my signature technique! It's the very reason I can hold the tenth spot on the Sky List. I was certain that in this world, no one else could possibly know this peerless Fist Technique. And yet, today…

As for what Luo Xiu said about learning it on the spot, I don't believe a word of it. This profound Fist Technique took me more than ten years just to grasp the basics. Even if Luo Xiu is a genius, how could he possibly learn it in an instant? And even if he could, how could he deliver a punch with the exact same power?

But the truth was, Luo Xiu really didn't know the Mountain Sea Fist.

He had learned it just now.

He himself didn't know why. Ever since he was young, no matter the martial art—be it swordsmanship, saber techniques, or Fist Techniques—he could learn it just by seeing it once and then perfectly imitate it.

After landing, Luo Xiu dusted himself off and began walking unhurriedly toward the curvaceous woman in leather.

"Compared to the small fry I've dealt with before, I'll admit, you're a real expert."

"But that's all."

Stopping about a dozen meters from her, Luo Xiu looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"If you have any special moves you haven't shown yet, hurry up and use them. Otherwise, you won't get the chance."

The woman in leather stared at Luo Xiu. "Arrogant!"

Luo Xiu smiled faintly as green Spiritual Energy suddenly rose from his body. An intangible sense of oppression instantly washed over her, causing her to shake involuntarily.

She stared at Luo Xiu, her beautiful eyes trembling with disbelief. Green Spiritual Energy… this is my first time seeing it. Or rather, my first time seeing colored Spiritual Energy at all!

While she was lost in her thoughts, Luo Xiu's words rang out through The Void like a deity's decree.

"Luo Tian's Control over Xuanzhong."

"Second Form."

"Blazing Sun."

The next moment, Luo Xiu vanished as if he had evaporated into thin air.

In a split second, the space between heaven and earth roared like thunder! Numerous fiery fists emerged from all over The Void, flying erratically toward the leather-clad woman from every direction, emitting terrifying roars like those of great beasts! From a distance, it resembled a magnificent meteor shower. The sight was as terrifying as it was breathtaking, radiating an aura of pure destruction!

The woman struggled to fend off the fiery fists flying toward her from all directions. Her leather outfit was grazed in several places, burning holes in it and revealing her fair skin beneath.

Suddenly, amid the scorching heat, she felt a chill behind her. Her body stiffened, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Luo Xiu had appeared behind her as silently as a ghost.

His clenched right fist was enveloped in blazing flames.

The leather-clad woman's heart sank. This is bad! I'm certain that if his fist lands, I'll be dead or close to it! I just can't understand how a young man, not even thirty, can possess such terrifying strength.

SLAP!

Caught up in her thoughts, she was shocked when Luo Xiu did not deliver the final punch of "Blazing Sun." Instead, he slapped her rounded buttocks, which were encased in tight leather pants. With his hand still wrapped in high-temperature flames, the slap was bound to be searingly hot…

"Kid, are you looking to die?"

The leather-clad woman whirled around and glared at Luo Xiu, her voice forced out between clenched teeth, as cold as ice.

I've lived for over two hundred years, and this is the first time anyone has ever treated me with such disrespect. I would rather he had hit me with that punch than suffer this humiliation!

"Felt nice. Quite bouncy," Luo Xiu said with a faint smile. "It couldn't have been easy for you to cultivate to this level, so I'll let it slide…"

However, before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly stiffened. His complexion instantly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of dark, clotted blood.

That damned illness! It had to strike right now!

He cursed inwardly, looking up at the woman, whose face was as cold as frost. This is really bad…

BOOM!

The next instant, the leather-clad woman kicked him, sending him flying far into the distance
