"You want her?"

Shixiong Fan's eyes narrowed as he fell into deep thought. He didn't quite understand the reason behind Cang Yun's actions.

However, he did not ponder over it for too long, and came to a decision. He was confident that he could defeat Cang Yun, so no matter what the other party asked for, he did not need to worry.

"Alright, I agree."

"Very good, then make your move."

Cang Yun had a faint smile on his face as he sheathed his Cyan Peak Sword and waved at Senior Martial Brother Fan.

"Withdraw your sword? You don't use a weapon? "

Senior Martial Brother Fan's pupils contracted. Cang Yun's contemptuous actions instantly ignited his eyes with surging fury.

Xiao Yu also stared with wide eyes. She was just about to speak out a reminder when Cang Yun said with a faint smile, "I don't think we'll need it to deal with you."

"Good, good, good. You think that I, Fan Daoping, was ranked 830 in the Mortal Ranking Tournament last year? No one has ever dared to ignore me like this. You're the first, this is very good!" Fan Daoping's eyes were narrowed, his entire body brimming with killing intent.

Swish!

The next moment, Fan Daoping made his move. His figure leapt into the air, and like a fierce tiger, he cleaved down brazenly with the saber in his hand.

The path of the blade was unstoppable!

From this move, it could be seen that Fan Daoping's blade cultivation was truly extraordinary. It was normal for him to rank at the top 800 rankings of the Mortal Ranking Tournament.

However, in Cang Yun's eyes, this blade was ordinary. It had more than enough strength, but its speed was too slow.

The moment the blade fell, Cang Yun slowly moved to the side. Although his movements looked slow, as if he was strolling leisurely, he dodged the blade by just a hair's breadth.

Bang!

The huge blade grazed past Cang Yun's body, and landed on the ground. The huge sword light directly cut the ground, creating a crack.

Hm?

Fan Daoping was slightly alarmed by the missed blow, but his battle experience was not bad either. He immediately reacted, his blade sweeping through the enemy with a single slash, using attack as defense, forcing Cang Yun to dodge once more.

Shua shua shua!

Since he was the first to speak, Fan Daoping was the first to give in. With the advantage of his weapon, he swung the saber in his hand with all his might. He was in a position where he was ready to throw his life on the line.

This method was very smart. After all, they had the advantage of weapons. If both sides clashed, the one at a disadvantage would naturally be Cang Yun. However, in such a situation, the difference in strength between the two sides would only be about the same. If the difference in strength was too great, then there wouldn't be any advantage.

Cang Yun had once defeated a man who was ranked 600th in the Mortal Ranking Tournament with a single sword strike, but compared to him, the Fan Daoping in front of him was extremely weak. Even without using his sword, he could easily defeat him.

Swoosh!

However, the next moment, Cang Yun's figure suddenly disappeared like a ghost. There was no sign or trace of him.

Fan Daoping's blade slashed the air, causing him to stare in shock.

"Be careful, behind you!" Suddenly, Lu Feng's voice sounded.

Fan Daoping woke with a start, and when he turned around, his pupils violently contracted.

In Fan Daoping's eyes, the finger blade grew larger and larger, until it struck his chest at a speed that he couldn't even react to.

Bang!

A powerful force directly struck Fan Daoping's chest, causing him to be pushed back more than ten steps. Then, unable to hold back any longer, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.

"Do we still need to fight?" Cang Yun appeared in the same spot as Fan Daoping, with the same faint smile still on his face.

Cang Yun hadn't used too much strength in that sword attack. Otherwise, Fan Daoping wouldn't have only suffered some minor injuries. He believed that the latter should also have understood this point.

Hearing this, Fan Daoping's face grew unsettled. He remained silent for a long time, but in the end, he had no choice but to accept the reality before him.

"I've lost."

Fan Daoping seemed to have expended all his energy as he sat on the floor. He had always loved to fight, so he could naturally tell that the gap between him and Cang Yun was simply too great. If he continued to fight, he would only lose and there would only be a second outcome.

However, there was one thing that he could not understand, and that was that with Cang Yun's strength, how could he have no reputation in the Sacred City? At least, in his three years in the Sacred City, Fan Daoping had never met someone like this.

"With your strength, how could you not be famous in Holy City? How long have you been in Holy City?" In the end, Fan Daoping couldn't help but ask his own question.

Cang Yun smiled, "This year's new batch of new disciples entering Holy City can be considered one of the newcomers."

"Newbie?" Lu Feng pondered for a moment and then shouted, "You're lying, this is impossible. I'm also this year's new batch. I've seen all the top talents in the selection before, so it's impossible for you to be here!"

It turned out that Lu Feng and Xiao Yu were also newcomers in this year's batch, hence they directly rejected Cang Yun's words.

"That's right. I also went back to take a look during the assessment. There was no one like you. Moreover, those people at the top of this batch definitely don't have strength like you." Fan Daoping spoke out as well.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I entered the Holy City two months earlier than you guys. However, it can still be considered as a year." Cang Yun said to Lu Feng.

As the sound of Cang Yun's voice faded, Fan Daoping suddenly thought of something.

"Two months ago, you entered Holy City. Could you be … is it the Azure Cloud which has been the talk of the holy city lately? " Although Fan Daoping had been training in the Returning Ruins for a long time, he was still able to understand some of the major events that had occurred in the Holy City. The only thing that he had paid attention to recently was undoubtedly the Cang Yun who had refused Young Master Huo Yu's recruitment and dared to challenge the Fire League.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be me." Cang Yun slightly nodded his head. He was somewhat surprised that Fan Daoping was able to recognize him, because judging from all the things that had transpired, the latter was not likely to be staying in the Sacred City. Otherwise, he would have been acquainted with the battle between Cang Yun and Zhong Feng.

"So it's you …" Fan Daoping murmured to himself, "Since it's you, then I won't be wronged for my defeat. Actually, I should've thought about it long ago, besides Cang Yun, who else among the newbies could defeat me so easily?"

"Defeating a heavy sword with a single sword strike, Cang Yun, it's actually you!"

At this time, Lu Feng and Xiao Yu also finally reacted, revealing looks of amazement. They obviously knew about Cang Yun's achievements, even if they had just entered the Sacred City.

This was especially so for Xiao Yu. After she recovered from her shock, she revealed an expression of intense admiration.

"I've lost, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Xiao Yu, come with them. What happened just now was your senior brother's fault. Your senior brother is here apologizing to you, and Cang Yun should be apologizing as well." Now that he knew Cang Yun's identity, Fan Daoping put aside all of his thoughts, and a look of sincerity appeared on his face.

Previously, he was indeed attracted by Cang Yue's brows, otherwise, based on his usual character, he would not have acted in such a manner.

"Senior Martial Brother Fan …" Sensing Fan Daoping's sincere apology, Xiao Yu began to hesitate. After all, they were fellow disciples of the same sect, and their previous relationship was quite deep. Otherwise, Fan Daoping wouldn't have come all the way here to stand up for them.
