“Master Qiao, I’ve long admired your reputation.”

Lu Yuan retracts his palm, and then looks at Qiao Xiuyuan, who has just narrowly dodged his sneak attack, and is now off his horse with a hint of pallor in his expression. He says with a beaming smile.

“Lu Yuan!”

Qiao Xiuyuan clenches his fists, looking at the man blocking his path. He quickly guesses his identity and says through gritted teeth, “I didn’t expect you to hide so deep. You are a top-tier master. Fine, you’ve fooled everyone.”

Although they have only had brief contact, Master Qiao, with his experience, instantly determines the strength of his opponent.

Inner Strength manifesting externally, a hallmark of a first-rate peak master.

“Since you know my strength, Master Qiao, you should realize that with me here, you all are not getting away today.”

Lu Yuan looks at the Seven Star Sect leader and says nonchalantly, “Drop your weapons and surrender. I could spare your life.”

Previously, he might not have been completely sure.

But now, as they face each other, only ten feet apart, his senses become much clearer.

With his current perception, he can only sense a slight threat from Qiao Xiuyuan. This is sufficient evidence that his opponent is far less powerful than him.

This man is no match for him.

“In your dreams!”

As the leader of a faction, Qiao Xiuyuan has his pride. Even at a disadvantage, he refuses to surrender.

At worst, he will die.

Men of the Jianghu, upon entering the martial arts world, are prepared for this.

Behind him, the remaining five elders of the Seven Star Sect jump off their horses from all directions, ready to confront Lu Yuan.

At this point, those who stand with Qiao Xiuyuan are all loyalists to the Seven Star Sect.

These people aren’t like those weaklings in the city who will surrender at the slightest danger.

“Is that so?”

Lu Yuan glances at these obstinate men, shakes his head slightly, “What a pity,

I was hoping to save some energy, it seems I have to put some effort in.”

The moment his words fall, he dashes forward and sends a palm strike towards Qiao Xiuyuan, instantly turning his hand into a blazing red colour.

His clenched fist, like a shining star, instantly responds to the Seven Stars, striking a fierce gust towards Lu Yuan with seven shadow punches.

However, in the face of these multitude of punches, Lu Yuan is unfazed.

He turns his palm, and a huge surge of Inner Qi, adorned with dazzling red light, instantly shatters the shadowy punches.

Then he pushes his palm forward, as it collides with Qiao Xiuyuan’s iron fist, a tremendous force emanates, causing the ground to shake instantly, stirring up a circle of dust. The ground caved in a circle.

The powerful Inner Strength radiates from their fists and palms, scattering forces forming two fields of force in the surrounding space, continuously combating one another centred where their fists and palm meet.

Qiao Xiuyuan’s face turns red, his body’s years of accumulated Inner Strength surges like madness. Following the techniques that have become instinct, he channels it into seven strands of power, frantically rushing into his right fist.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, is calm. His left palm raises seemingly effortlessly and blocks his opponent’s punch with ease.

As for the incoming Seven Star power, the Red Sun Inner Strength in his palm merely stirs slightly and instantly neutralizes them.

On the contrary, while neutralizing the force, the Red Sun energy in his body permeates into his opponent’s body. At this moment, a layer of scorched charring can be seen on Qiao Xiuyuan’s fist.

A scent of burnt and crispy texture spreads out.

Clearly, his opponent was at a disadvantage in this round.

However, fights in the Jianghu, especially life-and-death struggles, have never been fair one-on-one confrontations.

The five elders of the Seven Star Sect around them see Master Qiao holding back the killer and delaying him, they immediately spot an opportunity.

They show perfect coordination, each making a move simultaneously, seemingly forming an attack formation, assailing from different angles.

However, just as they get a little closer, Lu Yuan scoffs coldly.

Since he dares to confidently intercept the Seven Star Sect members alone, he would naturally expect them to gang up, and he has long prepared a countermeasure.

He sees the Inner Strength he has been building up inside his body instantly release, a wave of searing heat comes in a flash. Within a radius of ten feet, it transforms into a blazing furnace.

The aura of a first-rate peak master exudes, several hundreds of degrees of high temperature instantly roasts everything around.

The weeds on the ground are instantly turned into flying ash, the moist ground is immediately baked dry and cracked.

The five elders were taken by surprise at this sudden attack.

Two of them were slow to react. Their outer garments and skin burst into flames almost instantly, then they screamed out in pain, fell to the ground, and were burnt into a charred torch.

The other three managed to react in time and quickly mobilized their Inner Strength, attached it to their body’s surface. With their profound Inner Strength, they resisted the external high temperature.

But even so, their body surface started to show signs of charring. Their clothing and hair were long gone, like bare broilers.

Even Qiao Xiuyuan, was hit by this sudden surge of aura. An instantaneous flame ignited on his body. But his Inner Strength is profound, his experience vast. The moment the heat wave closes in, he releases his own aura.

Although not as dominant as Lu Yuan’s, it was enough to barely protect his body, pushing the heat wave out of his body.

But Lu Yuan takes this opportunity to strike another palm, aiming straight at his chest. In a rush, Qiao Xiuyuan blocks it with his other fist.

But how could he completely block it in such a haste?

The scorching palm, hot as a furnace, hits him. It instantly scatters his force, cracking the aura around his fist..
