This punch carried immense force, and the friction of the air could be heard even above it, eliciting a great uproar.

"Scoundrel," he cursed, and Bidegla did not sit idly by, but instead met him with a punch.

Thud! A dull sound rang out, and the man known as Gu Xiu did not budge an inch, while Bidegla's face flushed as he staggered back several steps, his blood and qi surging uncontrollably.

In this confrontation, Bidegla felt as though his fist was not striking a human, but rather a stone, causing him great pain.

He knew the power of his punch was formidable, possibly enough to kill an ordinary person, but Gu Xiu remained unscathed, truly impressive.

Shaking his fist, Bidegla's expression grew serious, despite his cultivation of external strength, he keenly felt the disparity between himself and his opponent in that moment.

Bidegla had never truly engaged in combat with a cultivator since he began his training, and now that he had taken action, he immediately found himself at a disadvantage.

"Why do I feel like two pieces of metal have collided?" an official exclaimed, greatly alarmed. Upon hearing his words, others nodded in agreement, marveling at the seemingly unassuming figures with such incredibly tough fists. Could they really be human?

"Too weak," Gu Xiu murmured disdainfully, shaking his resolute face. His master had warned him to be cautious, but now it seemed his opponent was simply a pushover, the difference between them too great.

"Come again," Bidegla suddenly shouted, leaping into the air several meters high, eliciting a great commotion.

Leveraging the fierce momentum of his descent, Bidegla threw a punch at his opponent, concentrating all the true qi in his body into his fist, the force far greater than before.

"Seeking death," Gu Xiu sneered upon seeing Bidegla descending from the sky, then lifted his own fist to meet him.

Thud! Crack! This time, Bidegla exerted tremendous force, so instead of being pushed back, Gu Xiu was met with such a powerful blow that he immediately dropped to his knees, cracking the floor and causing part of it to collapse.

The building shook violently, causing everyone's faces to pale. Could it be about to collapse?

Fortunately, the Tianyu Hotel had been meticulously built, and after a few tremors, the building stopped shaking and did not collapse.

The power displayed by just two people in this confrontation was astonishing. In this moment, the businesspeople and officials were all stunned, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

"You're asking for death," infuriated by this sudden loss, Gu Xiu erupted in a burst of power, launching Bidegla into the air.

At this moment, Gu Xiu's speed suddenly increased, almost becoming a blur as he advanced towards Bidegla. Despite this, Bidegla was not truly afraid of him. Seeing the opponent's movement, a sly smile appeared on Bidegla's lips, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from his original position.

Though Bidegla had only just scratched the surface of the Xingyi Fist, he had now unleashed all of his speed, far surpassing that of Gu Xiu.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them engaged in dozens of rapid exchanges, all completed in the blink of an eye. Except for the cultivators present, no one else saw anything at all.

"Master, I'm afraid that Junior Brother won't be able to hold out much longer," Stuart Buzer spoke with evident concern on his face.

Although Bidegla currently has the upper hand, he is too reckless, revealing all of his power right from the start. With Kenzie Ursula waiting in the wings, he is bound to suffer in the end.

At this moment, Stuart Buzer regretted not informing Bidegla of this. It's good to take advantage, but the final result must be taken into account.

"No matter, I believe he can handle everything," Shadow Dread said calmly, unaffected by Stuart Buzer's words.

"Very well." Since the master believes in Bidegla, Stuart Buzer naturally refrained from saying much, focusing on the battle between the two of them.

The fierce winds whipped up due to the high mobility of Bidegla and the other person, causing those around them to shield their faces. However, at that moment, the ground suddenly shook violently again, and a figure was sent flying, knocking down the crowd, resulting in a chorus of cries.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"Excuse me." Bidegla's face remained calm as he looked at the ancient martial artist he had just sent flying, offering a respectful gesture.

Although this ancient martial artist was very powerful, there was still a considerable gap between him and Bidegla. Therefore, when Bidegla seized the opportunity, he directly punched him in the chest, ending the battle.

Despite winning, Bidegla was not unscathed, with his clothes torn in several places and his head in disarray.

"Poof!"

Upon hearing Bidegla's words, the ancient martial artist was initially unaffected, but he had always been extremely proud, never having been defeated among his peers. So at this moment, in his anger and frustration, he suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"I'm going to kill you." Suddenly, the ancient martial artist let out a non-human roar from his mouth, drawing a long sword from the scabbard on his back and charging straight at Bidegla.

The Six June Sword Sect has always been known for using swords, and now, being defeated barehanded by Bidegla, is truly hard to accept.

"Hmm?" Seeing the ancient martial artist brandishing a weapon, Bidegla's brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that this ancient martial artist had gone mad.

"Wow!"

Seeing the ancient martial artist rushing towards them with a sword, the onlookers were all astonished. Wasn't it supposed to be a friendly match? Why bring a sword? Could it lead to fatalities?

"Nonsense!" Seeing his disciple being defeated and still charging with a sword, the old head of the Six June Sword Sect shouted, intercepting him before he reached Bidegla.

The Six June Sword Sect can accept defeat, but to fail in broad daylight and still want to kill someone is simply embarrassing for their sect.

And Shadow Dread is here now. If the ancient martial artist acts out, he will surely be beaten to death. Although Shadow Dread is a healer, he is not to be trifled with.

"Master, get out of the way, I'm going to kill him." Seeing his master blocking his way, the ancient martial artist not only did not calm down, but also burst out in a roar.

Smack!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed as the old man directly slapped the ancient martial artist and said, "You worthless thing, go back and reflect in seclusion for a month. Don't embarrass us here."

With that, he took the dazed ancient martial artist and walked towards the camp of the Six June Sword Sect.

The ancient martial artist has always progressed well, a rare talent, but now, for the master to slap him for the sake of an outsider is something the ancient martial artist never imagined.

"Divine Physician, my disciples are not as skilled as others, so I won't embarrass them here. Goodbye." The old man bowed to Shadow Dread and then left with his disciples.

I originally intended to dampen Shadow Dread's morale, but I never expected that Gu Xiu's failure would make him go crazy and charge forward. So now he has lost all dignity and even made Gu Xiu lose face.

"Goodbye." Shadow Dread greeted the old man, who had a gloomy expression, with a calm expression and a fist.

The people of the June Sword Sect quickly left the hotel, without even looking back. Today, they had lost face in front of so many of their peers, and they might even become a laughingstock for others.

"Now that you have accepted the challenge of the June Sword Sect's divine doctor, I, Kenzie Ursula, also want to consult your disciple." As the people of the June Sword Sect left, an old man of Kenzie Ursula jumped out and said.

"Please." Knowing that these people would not give up easily, Shadow Dread said calmly.

"Go ahead." The old man of Kenzie Ursula said, and then a young man with a smiling face walked out of their camp.

This young man's age is probably similar to Bidegla's, but his cultivation is shocking, having reached the late stage of external strength, which is a level higher than Bidegla.

"Brother, you must go easy on me, I can't help but fight back." Looking at Bidegla, the young man smiled without any intention of fighting, looking very relaxed.

"I also want to ask you to go easy on me." Bidegla said calmly, and then directly assumed a fighting posture.

"Alright, since my strength is a level higher than yours, I won't take advantage of you. You can make the first move." The young man smiled, and then as if he remembered something, he said, "By the way, my name is Clotilda Pag."

"Bidegla." Bidegla shouted his own name, and without hesitation, he attacked the other party.

The other party's strength is a level higher than his, so this time Bidegla did not hesitate to hold back, using his most powerful force.

"Not bad, not bad." Seeing Bidegla attacking, Clotilda Pag's face showed no panic, but instead leisurely said, "I can feel your strength, but if you reach my level, I might not even be your match."

"But for now, I'm afraid I still have to take advantage of you a little." Clotilda Pag smiled, and then casually reached out with her fair and delicate palm.

Her skin is very fair, like a girl's, but with a flick of her fair and delicate palm, Bidegla was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground in the blink of an eye.

The ground shook heavily, and many people looked at Clotilda Pag with incredulous eyes, unable to imagine that such a girl-like person could be so strong.

It was like watching a TV show, where human strength could be so great.

"Come again."

Although Bidegla was sent flying, he was not seriously injured. In the blink of an eye, he pounced back and unleashed his power, which was his strong suit, something he could not afford not to use.

"Hmm?" Seeing Bidegla unleash his power again, Clotilda Pag furrowed her brow slightly, then relaxed.

Compared to power, he was definitely no match for Bidegla, so he didn't move at all, standing still, using static to control motion, the best method he could come up with.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After several rounds of confrontation, Bidegla did not gain any advantage, but instead suffered heavy depletion. He had already been severely depleted from his battle with Gu Xiu earlier, and now he was starting to struggle.

The true energy, like physical strength, is also subject to significant depletion over prolonged use, and now Bidegla feels somewhat weakened.

"Master, the apprentice may not be able to hold on much longer," Stuart Buzer said with a concerned look on his face, observing Bidegla's current state.

"Fear not," Shadow Dread uttered the second 'fear not', then glanced at Bidegla before saying, "Sometimes, failure is not necessarily a bad thing."

His words were quite profound; sometimes, smooth sailing only leads to arrogance and a false sense of superiority, while those who suffer the most are often those who are most conceited.
