Chapter 690 Respectful Opponent

"You seem different from them… I'm curious. How did you end up in the same group with them?" Yun Lintian observed Lang Mian briefly and asked.

Lang Mian replied honestly. "It's because our clans have a good relationship."

Yun Lintian nodded gently. "Let's fight."

Lang Mian took a deep breath, and a deep blue light immediately lit up in his eyes. His muscles bulged as his figure shot forward like an arrow, accompanied by an ice storm.

Yun Lintian's eyes flickered slightly. He merely raised his hand up, and a cluster of crimson flame blasted out.

Lang Mian had no intention of avoiding it. Ice particles around his body instantly solidified and formed a shield around him.

Bang!

Lang Mian's figure disappeared into the flame cluster for a short moment before penetrating through it and arriving in front of Yun Lintian. He quickly swung his fist out at Yun Lintian's face.

Yun Lintian was slightly surprised when he saw Lang Mian was fine under his blast. Seeing the incoming fist, he raised his hand up to meet it.

Bang!

The tiles around Yun Lintian's feet were blasted away by the impact while Yun Lintian was standing in the original position without moving an inch. His hand firmly grabbed Lang Mian's fist as if nothing had happened.

Their gazes met each other for a second, and Lang Mian's left leg quickly kicked at Yun Lintian's ribs.

However, Yun Lintian's speed was much faster. Before Lang Mian's kick could arrive, he had already lifted his right leg and swept over Lang Mian's other leg, causing the latter to lose balance.

At the same time, Yun Lintian pulled Lang Mian up in the air and then firmly smashed him onto the ground.

BANG!!

An incomparably deafening sound resounded throughout the place as Lang Mian's body collided with the floor. His thrown body bounced several meters, and he sprayed blood all over in midair like a leaking blood bag.

"Big brother!" Lang Xue stood up in shock. If it wasn't because of her father, she would rush onto the platform by now.

"This young man possesses a top-notch close combat ability. I'm really curious. How did Huoyun Yurou cultivate him?" Lang Moxie frowned slightly.

The Fire Cloud Rat Clan was well known as the weakest among the nine clans in terms of close combat. Mainly because their body features weren't suitable for it. However, this Huoyun Tian was totally different. He was like a perfect all-rounder. As long as he could stay alive further, he would definitely become a scary figure among the top powerhouses in this world.

Lang Mian managed to stand up slowly. He wiped the bloodstain out of the corner of his mouth and looked at Yun Lintian admiringly. "Your body is something else, Brother Huoyun. It's much stronger than mine."

"Your reaction is not bad. I've already thrown you into the air, yet you could still manage to lower your body in time. Otherwise, your injury would be a lot worsen than this." Yun Lintian returned with a compliment.

All of a sudden, Tu Feng's figure seemed to overlap with Lang Mian's. Both of them were battle maniacs and expertized in close combat.

A trace of sadness appeared in Yun Lintian's mind and quickly disappeared. He took a deep breath and asked. "Do you want to continue?"

"Of course!" Lang Mian replied excitedly. He adjusted his body for a moment and said further. "I'll go all out now. Be careful!"

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and calmly watched Lang Mian releasing his aura.

Lang Mian's muscles bulged up once again. However, this time, a dark blue fur gradually emerged all over his body. His entire figure went under a transformation and completely became a three-meter-high half-wolf, half-human.

"Awoooo!" Lang Mian howled loudly as his body was instantly covered with layers of frost. He was like a werewolf in ice armor.

His dark blue eyes stared at Yun Lintian coldly. In the next moment, his entire being disappeared from the spot and reappeared beside Yun Lintian in a ghost-like manner.

Yun Lintian instinctively activated Shadow Step and moved to Lang Mian's back while performing a dragon fist.

Roar—

A deafening dragon's cry resounded once again as a virtual fire dragon went straight to Lang Mian's back.

Bang!

Lang Mian suddenly broke into countless ice particles upon touching by the fire dragon. Yun Lintian's face changed slightly. He immediately felt a bone-freezing aura coming out from behind.

Once again, he didn't hesitate to activate Shadow Step and disappeared from the spot, causing Lang Mian's punch to miss the target.

Yun Lintian appeared several meters away and looked at Lang Mian in amazement. If the previous Lang Mian's speed was five points, his current speed was at least nine points. It was as though he had become a new person.

"Netherworld Wolf bloodline is really amazing. It could enhance your perception and speed significantly." Yun Lintian said attentively.

Lang Mian shook his head. "Even so, I'm still slower than you, Brother Huoyun. Your movement technique is even more powerful than my grandfather's one. In close combat, I am totally not your opponent, no matter how I tried."

Yun Lintian smiled faintly. "Don't belittle yourself. In ten years, I believe you will become the number one in a younger generation."

"What about you then?" Lang Mian asked curiously.

Yun Lintian laughed gently. "Me? I will become the number one person of the Western Continent, or perhaps the world."

Lang Mian burst into laughter upon hearing this, and Yun Lintian had also begun to laugh along.

The scene was extremely bizarre. One rat and one wolf laughed heartily, without caring about the battle.

"Look like Mian'er has found a good friend." Lang Moxie said with a smile.

Lang Mo nodded. "Since he was young, he has always been superior to his peers. He had never met anyone who could suppress him in the same generation… This trip. Worth it."

Meanwhile, Lang Xue's eyes flickered as she stared at Yun Lintian. No one knew what she was thinking right now.
