Attack where the enemy must defend.
This was the only way Xue Tu could think of to gain the upper hand against a Grandmaster.
If he could snatch the woman in the other's arms as a hostage, everyone present could leave safely today.
Although Xue Tu was not a Grandmaster, he had killed several masters of the Hua Jin realm, so he wanted to test today just how much of a gap there was between himself and a Grandmaster-level expert!
As for what lay beyond Grandmaster, he dared not say for sure, but at the very least, one for one.
Qin Xuan saw through Xue Tu's thoughts; he merely wanted to take Wang Yuyan hostage. How could he allow that?
Furthermore, even if he hadn't seen through Xue Tu's intentions, Qin Xuan could not put Wang Yuyan in a dangerous situation.
Qin Xuan would absolutely not allow Wang Yuyan to suffer even the slightest harm while she was with him.
Xue Tu's fist wind arrived. Qin Xuan merely shifted his foot and moved sideways, reaching out with one hand.
"How is this possible?" Xue Tu's eyes widened, for his wrist had already been firmly gripped by Qin Xuan.
"There's nothing impossible."
Qin Xuan pulled back, using Xue Tu's own momentum to send him tumbling to the ground.
In just one round, the victor was clearly decided.
Even though Qin Xuan hadn't used a proper move and Xue Tu was merely probing, both of them, including the others, understood the outcome of this confrontation.
Was there still a need to continue fighting?
But Xue Tu refused to believe it. Even if there was a gap, it shouldn't be so easy for Qin Xuan to subdue him with just one hand!
Xue Tu leaped to his feet like a carp, turning and rushing towards Qin Xuan.
Close combat, speed against speed!
Since Qin Xuan wouldn't let go of Wang Yuyan, Xue Tu would use this advantage.
Xue Tu, today, also wanted to see if Grandmasters were truly as invincible as rumored.
From the peak of the Xiantian realm, he challenged a Grandmaster.
Xue Tu had his own pride.
Yan Wang San Dian Shou (King of Hell's Three Point Hand).
Ba Wang Ying Zhe Jiang (Overlord Forcefully Bends the Rein).
Ying Men San Bu Gu (Three Unhesitating Moves at the Doorway).
Li Di Tong Tian Pao (Ground-Standing Heaven-Piercing Cannon).
His eight great techniques were fully displayed, his six major openings unleashed.
He fought Qin Xuan in close quarters, practically pressed against him, giving Qin Xuan no opportunity to create distance.
"Boss, he's getting serious," Xue Ying murmured.
"No one dares to be careless against a Grandmaster; carelessness means losing your life," Xue Ling said, clutching his shoulder as he walked over.
In such a fight, they could only watch. The combined strength of them all couldn't even defeat their boss, let alone help him.
Xue Tu had practiced Baxi Quan for years, and it was considered masterful.
In the past, a martial artist in the mid-stage of Hua Jin had been forced to retreat by Xue Tu's Baxi Quan.
And since Qin Xuan was still holding Wang Yuyan, he could only temporarily evade the onslaught.
Dodging and weaving, his movements were orderly and effortless.
Palm against palm.
It was like that scene in the forest.
However, the result remained the same.
Qin Xuan's stance was unwavering, while Xue Tu was sent flying back ten meters.
"Let me down," Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes blinked at Qin Xuan.
She knew that because of her presence, Qin Xuan couldn't fight with his full strength. If he put her down, Qin Xuan could win quickly.
Qin Xuan glanced at the five of Xue Ying beside them and shook his head slightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xue Tu took a breath. In normal circumstances, he would have ordered Xue Ying and the others not to interfere.
But facing a Great Grandmaster, he couldn't say such a thing.
If it were fair, that would be the greatest unfairness to Xue Tu.
With Qin Xuan holding Wang Yuyan, he still had a one percent chance of victory.
But if Qin Xuan were to put Wang Yuyan down, Xue Tu would surely face certain death.
Xue Tu gathered his energy, his veins bulging, and leaped forward to attack again.
Wu Xing Lian Huan (Five Elements Chain). San Shou Pao (Three Hand Cannon). Shi Er Hong Chui (Twelve Hong Hammers).
Xue Tu's Xing Yi Quan was also executed with wide, powerful swings. His moves did not target Qin Xuan's vital points, but were aimed solely at Wang Yuyan.
Although this fighting style was not considered elegant, in the current situation, it was the only way he could carve out a path to survival.
Bang.
Finally, Qin Xuan and Xue Tu exchanged a blow!
Xue Tu rejoiced greatly!
