"You're dead!"
Hua Chengyang looked at Lin Hao as if he were already dead, then stomped his right foot, his body instantly darting forward like a civet cat.
"Careful!"
Hua Yu called out softly, his eyes vigilantly fixed on Lin Hao, ready to intervene at any moment.
However, Lin Hao shook his head as he watched Hua Chengyang charge at him with a ferocious expression.
This man's martial arts skills were indeed somewhat impressive, but that was all.
His cultivation realm was too low, merely at the minor accomplishment stage of inner force.
It was even lower than Zhou Renxiong's realm from before.
Lin Hao shook his head, took a step back to evade Hua Chengyang's fierce attack, then raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
"Slap!"
A loud slap echoed.
Hua Chengyang was sent flying backward by Lin Hao's single palm strike.
"Chengyang!"
Hua Yu cried out and quickly caught Hua Chengyang.
"Chengyang!"
Seeing the red palm print on Hua Chengyang's face, Hua Yu's expression was filled with rage.
"Damn it, you're asking for death!"
Hua Yu set Hua Chengyang down, then his body flickered and he vanished from his spot!
At this moment.
Hua Yu fully unleashed the power of his great perfection stage of inner force.
And he held nothing back.
One reason was his intense anger.
Another was that he had failed to prevent Lin Hao from harming Hua Chengyang twice in a row, which gave him a sense of unease.
Therefore, he decided to go all out and end the fight quickly!
Once Lin Hao was completely crushed under his heel, he would let his junior brother Hua Chengyang take his revenge.
At the same time.
Seeing Hua Yu suddenly disappear from his position, Xiao Hei, who had remained still, suddenly changed his expression.
"Great perfection stage of inner force!?"
"Senior brother, be careful!"
Xiao Hei shouted and prepared to intervene.
However, Lin Hao smiled and said, "You rest. I'll stretch my muscles. It's not too late for you to step in when I can't win."
"Alright."
Xiao Hei nodded, then stood aside, watching the situation intently.
Lin Hao withdrew his thoughts, his gaze falling on Hua Yu in the corner of his right eye, and he chuckled and shook his head.
Hua Yu's illusionary techniques might work on ordinary people.
But for him, they were useless.
Because he was a Diviner.
And the most formidable aspect of a Diviner was their eyes, which could see through everything.
Lin Hao remembered his grandfather saying.
Legend had it that when a Diviner reached the highest realm, their eyes could see through the past, the future, penetrate all illusions, and perceive all substance.
In this world, in the universe, nothing could escape their sight.
Of course, this was a legend.
Lin Hao also knew that such a realm was impossible to reach.
While thinking about these things, Lin Hao looked at Hua Yu in the corner and chuckled, shaking his head.
Then, Lin Hao raised his hand and sent out a flame.
The flame was only the size of a thumb, but it was incredibly fast, and it seemed to have a soul, continuing to pursue Hua Yu even after he dodged it.
Seeing the strange flame, Hua Yu's expression changed instantly.
"Extinguish!"
Hua Yu shouted and unleashed four or five palm strikes towards the flame.
But the flame flickered and swayed, showing no sign of being extinguished.
At this moment, Hua Yu no longer harbored any trace of underestimation.
He took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Hao, then raised both hands and shouted.
"Great Tablet Forest Palm!"
As Hua Yu unleashed his palm strike, five palm shadows appeared around the flame!
Moreover, these five palm shadows were clearly larger than those Hua Chengyang had unleashed.
With the appearance of the five palm shadows, Lin Hao's flame was instantly extinguished as if it had met its nemesis.
The flame was extinguished, but Lin Hao was not surprised.
Lin Hao looked at Hua Yu and raised his hand, casting a Dharma seal.
The Dharma seal transformed into a massive phantom palm, attacking Hua Yu!
This massive phantom palm was Lin Hao's imitation of Hua Yu's Great Tablet Forest Palm.
However, Lin Hao did not unleash five palm shadows; instead, he directly created a single, enormous phantom palm.
Lin Hao felt that with equal power, this kind of phantom palm was more imposing.
Indeed, as soon as Lin Hao's phantom palm was unleashed.
Hua Yu's expression changed instantly.
But then, Hua Yu sneered and said, "Playing tricks!"
"Thunderclap Fist!"
Hua Yu roared, his body bending backward like a drawn bow, his arms raised high, his fists clenched.
Then, he sprang up, his clenched fists smashing towards Lin Hao's phantom palm!
This Thunderclap Fist was also one of Hua Xian's signature techniques.
As the name suggests, the Thunderclap Fist, when unleashed, was as powerful as thunder.
If perfected, every movement could generate the energy of lightning.
It was a style of fistwork that was extremely rigid and fierce.
As Hua Yu unleashed it, even the space before him seemed to warp.
A faint sound of thunder echoed in the air.
"Boom!"
Hua Yu's Thunderclap Fist slammed fiercely into Lin Hao's phantom palm.
Initially, Hua Yu believed that his punch would cause Lin Hao's phantom palm to collapse immediately.
But to his surprise.
When his fist made contact, Lin Hao's phantom palm merely trembled, then continued its advance towards him undiminished.
Hua Yu was startled and wanted to retreat and dodge, but it was too late.
In his panic, he quickly raised his hand to block Lin Hao's phantom palm.
The next second.
He was sent flying backward.
"Bang!"
Hua Yu crashed heavily onto the ground.
After wiping the blood trickling from his lips, Hua Yu stood up again.
"Senior brother!"
Hua Chengyang rushed to Hua Yu's side and quickly helped him up.
"I'm fine."
Hua Yu waved his hand, then looked at Lin Hao with fierce eyes.
He could not fathom how this seemingly unremarkable Lin Hao could be so powerful.
However, strangely, he could not discern Lin Hao's cultivation realm.
Thinking of this.
Hua Yu's heart trembled violently.
"Could he have reached the Grandmaster realm?"
Because at his current level, the only martial arts realm he could not discern was that of a martial arts Grandmaster.
"No!"
Hua Yu shook his head.
Hua Yu felt that Lin Hao was likely not a martial arts Grandmaster.
If he were truly a Grandmaster, he could have killed him with a single finger.
Why would he expend so much effort?
If nothing else, Lin Hao was likely also at the great perfection stage of inner force.
It was highly probable that he was using some kind of secret technique.
Considering these thoughts, and recalling Lin Hao's strange moves earlier, Hua Yu concluded that Lin Hao must be employing some secret technique.
Otherwise, how could Lin Hao have pinpointed his location at a glance when he had initially used his illusionary steps?
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, a cold smile appeared on Hua Yu's face.
"I'd like to see how long your secret technique can last!"
Hua Yu let out a cold laugh, having made up his mind to simply drag out the fight until Lin Hao's secret technique failed.
