A plain and unremarkable fist drew closer.

Yet, the playboy youth felt no fear.

He even directly raised his fist to meet Qiao Yu's blow head-on.

*Crack!*

The instant their fists collided, the knuckle duster on the playboy's fist showed a crack.

*Snap!*

The next second, his fist sounded with a fracture.

The playboy's face was filled with disbelief, but there was no regret medicine for him to take at this point.

Qiao Yu's fist had already landed!

"Critical Hit! -2200!"

A frightening number floated above the playboy's head, and before he could react, his body began to turn into starlight.

Qiao Yu retracted his fist and shook his head helplessly.

"Why are kids these days so stubborn?"

"Second Bro!"

The members of the Blazing Fire Guild roared and were about to rush up and fight Qiao Yu to the death.

"Stop!"

The middle-aged man who had been sitting cross-legged stood up at some point, stopping the Blazing Fire Guild members.

"You are no match for him."

After saying that, the middle-aged man walked towards Qiao Yu step by step.

With each step, the aura around him grew stronger.

By the time he reached Qiao Yu, a terrifying aura had risen from his body.

Qiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly; he was very familiar with this aura.

It was the aura of a mid-level player. He had sensed it from Qin Qianxue and the others at Soul Cleansing Lake.

The strength of the middle-aged man before him was probably no weaker than Cao Shao's back then.

However, Qiao Yu didn't show any fear. He was no longer the low-level kid who couldn't fight back at Soul Cleansing Lake.

"You must be Qiao Yu. My name is Lu Tuo."

The middle-aged man said, revealing a friendly smile.

"I'm sorry, but I was also asked to do this. I couldn't refuse the person's background."

Qiao Yu nodded to show his understanding.

"So, let's end this battle with us. The losing side concedes as a group, so we don't end up hurting each other too badly, how about it?" the middle-aged man asked.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Zuo Cheng rebuked angrily.

"Where do you get the face to act like a big shot here?"

"You're a mid-level player, challenging a low-level to a one-on-one? How can you even be embarrassed? Your skin is thicker than the fat on that fatty's belly!"

Yang Xiangdi: "???"

Lu Tuo wasn't annoyed by Zuo Cheng's mockery, just smiling as he looked at Qiao Yu.

"Alright, no problem."

Qiao Yu was eager to try. He also wanted to know how he measured up against a mid-level player now.

"Then I'm coming, be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tuo charged up with his bare hands.

With a few quick movements, he was in front of Qiao Yu, throwing an uppercut straight for Qiao Yu's chin.

A mid-level body cultivator?

Qiao Yu vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He reached out and caught Lu Tuo's fist, then returned the favor, blasting Lu Tuo back.

Lu Tuo didn't dodge, instead using the force of the punch to close the distance with Qiao Yu.

"Hmm?"

A silver glint rapidly magnified, and Qiao Yu couldn't react in time, so he hurriedly closed his eyes.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain on his eyelids.

It felt like a sharp object had pierced his eyelids.

"Despicable! Using a hidden weapon to launch a sneak attack when a mid-level is fighting a low-level, have you no shame?"

Qiao Yu, who had lost his sight, vaguely heard Ma Fei's roar.

"Winning is all that matters, what's hidden or not, being caught off guard is just him being stupid!"

A grim smile appeared on Lu Tuo's face, and his fists came at Qiao Yu like a storm.

"Gust Fist!"

Lu Tuo's fists were far more terrifying than the playboy's. Even with Qiao Yu's current five hundred points of defense, he was forced to retreat with surging blood.

Unable to open his eyes for a moment, Qiao Yu couldn't find a chance to counterattack.

"Kid, die!"

Seeing that he had succeeded, Lu Tuo no longer concealed his intentions, and punched towards Qiao Yu's throat with a hidden weapon.

Just as he was about to succeed, Lu Tuo suddenly felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

In the blink of an eye, he could only forcibly stop his body. His originally forward-moving body strangely stopped in front of Qiao Yu.

Then, a scene that horrified Lu Tuo appeared!

A delicate, fair hand actually reached out from Qiao Yu's chest!

*Whoosh!*

With a gentle wave of that small hand, a terrifying aura swept towards Lu Tuo.

Lu Tuo was sent flying like a rag doll.

Struggling to get up, Lu Tuo was completely terrified.

His health had dropped by half, and this was just the effect of that fair hand waving through the air.

If he hadn't braked in time, and his entire body had rushed closer, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Huh? What's wrong with this despicable Lu Tuo? Did his conscience kick in?" Zhao Ziyue was a little dazed.

But everyone else was also dumbfounded, and no one could give her an answer.

From their angle, they couldn't see the hand伸from Qiao Yu's chest at all, they could only see Lu Tuo rushing over extremely quickly, and then strangely flying back at an even faster speed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Yu finally reopened his eyes.

Although the world he saw was still a bit scarlet, he had finally regained his sight.

"Thank you!"

Qiao Yu thanked his chest. Of course he knew what was going on, that fair hand naturally belonged to the Mechanical Empress.

"You're welcome, be careful, that person still has that kind of silver glint on him," the Mechanical Empress reminded him.

After giving thanks, Qiao Yu looked at Lu Tuo with anger.

He had originally just wanted to test the extent of his overall strength, but he hadn't expected to almost capsize in a gutter.

If the Mechanical Empress hadn't acted in time, he would have really ended up in Lu Tuo's hands today.

"Kid, I admit defeat today, you win!"

Lu Tuo left a sentence and wanted to run. He had been scared out of his wits, fearing that the Mechanical Empress would hit him again.

However, after running only two steps, his speed suddenly slowed down a lot.

The ring on Qiao Yu's finger flickered with light not far away.

"You think you can just leave after admitting defeat? No such luck."

Qiao Yu stepped with his right foot, and surging power erupted. His whole body rushed towards Lu Tuo like a cannonball.

Lu Tuo was shocked and angry, shouting sternly.

"Kid, are you really trying to force me to fight you to the death?"

A powerful punch came at Lu Tuo, this was Qiao Yu's response to Lu Tuo.

*Bang!*

This punch hit Lu Tuo's face solidly, sending him flying and even knocking his mouth crooked.

"Kid, you forced me to do this!"

Lu Tuo, who had gotten up, looked resentful. Seeing that the small hand hadn't reappeared, he became bolder.

In his opinion, the appearance of that small hand must come at a significant cost.

*Pfft!*

Lu Tuo opened his mouth and spat out two more silver glints towards Qiao Yu.

However, this time Qiao Yu was already on full alert, how could he let Lu Tuo succeed?

He clapped his hands together like he was swatting mosquitoes!

The two silver glints were trapped in the center of his palms, unable to move an inch.

Qiao Yu opened his hands, and two silver needles as thin as cow hair appeared in his palms.

He picked up one of the silver needles with his other hand and examined it carefully. This was the first time he had seen the existence of hidden weapons in the Reverse World.

However, the next second, Yang Xiangdi's words made him throw the two silver needles away as if they were venomous snakes!
