At the moment the parting hook was about to miss its target when it was close to Lu Mingyue, he moved left with he keenly noticed something, but the alarm bells in his mind still rang out very loudly in his heart.

‘Not good!’

His expression changed, but it was already too late.

Thud!

The boomerang returned, and it was like a high-speed rotating cutter. It crashed into Lu Mingyue’s body. He trembled, and it instantly pierced through the true qi that formed his body fortification.

At the same time, Silver Wolf charged in front of Lu Mingyue.

Needle Tide! Sunflower Aura!

At the moment his life and death was about to be decided, Lu Mingyue’s attacks reached the peak of what he could execute. He managed to save himself from the desperate situation of being killed by the parting hook by a hair’s breadth.

Silver Wolf and Lu Mingyue’s duel could be said to have happened in a flas.h.!.+

Both of them executed all their killing moves, their profound skills, and the skills whose essence they had mastered.

Yet even the players who found themselves dazzled by the attacks and did not know what was going on could still tell how the fight was proceeding when they saw Silver Wolf rush forward regardless of the costs while he executed his series of advances before Lu Mingyue’s evasive maneuvers due to his injuries. Many people were speechless upon the sight of it, and they were deeply shocked by Silver’s fierce and fast killing moves!

Silver Wolf said nothing, but he did not stop either.

Even though he was slightly shocked and found it a little regretful that Lu Mingyue was able to avoid the fatal blow by moving horizontally, he did not give up on the idea of going after him and killing him. His eyes grew even more mysterious and profound beneath the incomplete silver mask.

He curled his left hand, and the parting hook landed steadily in its spot in his palm!

Whoos.h.!.+

Another boomerang jumped to the parting hook in his right hand before being sent off.

Silver Wolf did that with both of his parting hooks at the same time. To the onlookers, his movements were already so complicated that even spirits could not predict his movements. Both Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows stopped speaking. They held their breaths and stared at the duel without blinking. They did not want to miss even a single scene.

“d.a.m.n it!”

Lu Mingyue’s face was filled with anger.

Silver Wolf had taken complete control of the rhythm of the battle.

Once Silver Wolf destroyed his Sunflower Body Fortification with a boomerang, he decided to use the same method.

Lu Mingyue clenched his teeth and executed Sunflower Aura to its greatest limits.

At the same time, he threw his Needle Tide outwards and moved it in an unfathomable fas.h.i.+on. Right after that, he executed a Soft Palm Strike from his sleeves.

The instantaneous and explosive attack from the inheritor of Sunflower Manual was very shocking!

If Lu Mingyue brought out such an explosive attack without caring about the usage of his qi, it was a clear announcement that he was forced to fight desperately with his full strength.

Sunflower Aura was an ability that greatly affected a person’s speed and sight. The first time Silver Wolf went up against it, he was also affected, and he made various errors in his judgment.

Thud!

For the first time ever, his boomerang missed. When it turned around to return to Silver Wolf, it landed on the ground nearby. It did not serve as any form of threat to Lu Mingyue, and Silver Wolf made the sensible decision to not throw anymore parting hooks. Otherwise, he would soon have to fight “alone” against Lu Mingyue.

However, Lu Mingyue’s Sunflower Soft Palm Strike did not have the effect he desired either.

Silver Wolf’s wariness and observation prowess were very astonis.h.i.+ng. At the moment Lu Mingyue delivered his Soft Palm Strike, Silver Wolf’s robes fluttered, and he avoided it without a word.

During their second exchange, both sides showed that they were equals in strength!

But in general, Lu Mingyue was still at a slight disadvantage, because he lost his Sunflower Body Fortification. He had to rely on executing his Sunflower Aura at full force and his Needle Tide to s.h.i.+ft positions madly to avoid Silver Wolf’s boomerangs.

While he moved about, flying needles shot out from his hands nonstop as he tried to regain his dignity.

But Silver Wolf had two weapons, and he used them in an incredibly ingenious manner! Besides, as time pa.s.sed, he gradually got used to the effects of Sunflower Aura. There were a few times when he utilized the threads tugging at his body to nearly drag Lu Mingyue’s body back to the trajectory of the boomerangs when they returned to him, terrifying Lu Mingyue so much that he snapped the threads without a second thought.

The onlookers gradually grew impatient!

The two men simply refused to get close to each other!

One of them continuously moved around in an irregular circle and looked like a phantom while he s.h.i.+fted about. The other, in the meantime, was searching for his opponent’s weaknesses and schemed against him.

All of that was somewhat useful to players who were at Evil Wolf’s level. They could tell the dangers that lurked in the duel, but normal players could simply not understand it.

Slowly, they lost their interest, and they were no longer as attentive toward the fight.

Suddenly…

Thud!

Silver Wolf’s patience seemed to run out because of Sunflower Aura and Lu Mingyue’s perfect Needle Tide. Under everyone’s astonished gazes, he knelt on one knee and resolutely stabbed his parting hook into the ground.

Countless gazes instantly focused on him again.

‘What is he thinking?!’

Silver Wolf used his actions to explain his intentions.

He spread out his fingers before he closed them together. Then, eight exquisite and small boomerangs appeared between his fingers.

Lu Mingyue grew tense when he saw that. He said nothing, but around a dozen flying needles shot out and intertwined with each other.

‘Go!’

Silver Wolf’s expression did not change, but eight boomerangs rushed out at the same time.

When the flying needles approached him, he grabbed his parting hooks again, and multiple shadows were formed in front of him as he swung them.

Cling, cling, clang, clang!

Clear sounds were heard, and all the flying needles were blocked.

At the same time, the boomerangs shot past Lu Mingyue before they quickly returned.

Ting!

Silver Wolf swung both of his parting hooks, and the hooks at the top hooked the center of the boomerangs. As if there was some form of strange magic in them, the boomerangs spun obediently before they flew out at lightning speed once more. They were even faster than before.

Two!

Four!

Six!

Eight!

As countless people marveled at it, Silver Wolf’s parting hooks turned into tools with unique abilities. With a tap and a swing, they would send the boomerangs which had returned to them outwards at an unbelievable speed. Each one was faster than the last, and all the boomerangs went charging at Lu Mingyue.

s.h.i.+ck, s.h.i.+ck!

The sound of the boomerangs cutting through the air could be heard nonstop.

Lu Mingyue panicked.

His senses kept screaming at him that there was danger approaching him when he was targeted by the boomerangs, and while he moved around madly to switch his positions, he kept cutting off the threads to his flying needles. He was forced to replenish his stock of flying needles and guide them at an even faster speed.

In the crowd’s eyes, he turned into a will-o’-the-wisp that moved back and forth while surrounded by boomerangs. He was forced to change his positions repeatedly.

Red pieces of cloth from his robe landed on the ground nonstop.

The heavy red robe had been torn in multiple places while he moved around, and the strength of his Sunflower Aura gradually became weaker.

Lu Mingyue had activated his Sunflower Aura in a frenzy and pushed his Needle Time to the limit, which caused his qi to be drained at a fast speed. He did not have time to use medicinal pills, however. Because of that, his qi was about to be drained to the last drop.

But Silver Wolf was not in any better condition.

Even though his ultimate technique with boomerangs was something he created on his own, using it repeatedly and pus.h.i.+ng his judgment to the limits continuously drained his qi and his mental energy. After Lu Mingyue dodged his attacks for so long, even Silver Wolf felt himself on the border of being mentally and physically exhausted.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

At the moment Silver Wolf left the battlefield, Lu Mingyue also stopped using his Needle Tide and Sunflower Aura. He landed among the people from the three great sects with a pale face. His red robe was torn and tattered, and he looked very pathetic.

“Sunflower Manual does live up to its name.” Silver Wolf smiled bitterly, but he remained composed.

Even though Lu Mingyue was still shocked and terrified, he thought of drawing Silver Wolf to his side. Once he changed his torn red robe, he said earnestly, “You’re the first person to ever be able to force me to this point! Silver Wolf, as long as you’re willing to join Cold Moon Palace, I will give you the money you want.”

Silver Wolf frowned and cast Lu Mingyue a glance before he uttered a few words, “Three days, five million.”

Lu Mingyue had an awkward look on his face.

“That time is too tight.”

“That’s why I was in a hurry to challenge you lot. I was hoping to use your fame to be able to bring a good number of views, but unfortunately, I couldn’t win against you.”

The regretful expression was seen clearly on the portion of his face that was not covered by the silver mask.

Cla.s.s One Hall and Towering Palace did not say anything.

Even though they wanted to draw him to their side as well, five million… was not something that they could decide.

“If you insist on making a battle replay, there’s one person you can try fighting.” Lu Mingyue’s expression changed, and he said to Silver Wolf, “Take this road and head to Baokang. Happy, the top player on the Famous People Rank, is there. He’s even more famous than I am, and if you manage to win against him…”

“Are you serious?! He’s in Baokang?”

Silver Wolf naturally knew of Happy’s fame and prestige. Hope and raging fighting spirit instantly burned in his eyes.

Lu Mingyue smiled. “Of course.”
