After an unknown amount of time, their clothes were covered in falling snow.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoqiang broke the silence: "Yu Ye, the weather is cold, we shouldn't just stand here."
Yu Daohhen nodded without speaking.
Zhang Xiaoqiang continued, "Since you say we are brothers, then you shouldn't interfere with Li Xin's matter."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang strode towards the shop, preparing to apprehend Li Xin.
Yu Daohhen raised his hand to stop him, "Qiangzi, is there really no room for negotiation?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "Yu Ye, if you have difficulties, don't I have difficulties too?"
"I know..." Yu Daohhen slowly uttered the three words.
Seeing the current situation, Zhang Xiaoqiang helplessly shook his head, "Since neither of us is willing to take a step back, how about this: we decide by combat!"
"Decide by combat?" Yu Daohhen frowned slightly.
Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, "That's right. If I win, I'll take Li Xin. If I lose, I'll admit my bad luck, how about it?"
Yu Daohhen looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang. To be honest, he didn't want to fight Qiangzi. If they truly fought, regardless of who won or lost, their relationship would likely end.
Yu Daohhen still wanted to find another solution: "Qiangzi, is there really no other way? Why don't we sit down and talk first?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled faintly, finding it somewhat amusing, "Yu Ye, this is the only way. Sitting down and talking won't change the current situation."
Yu Daohhen knew in his heart that Qiangzi was determined to fight.
"Fine, I agree!" Yu Daohhen gritted his teeth and agreed, drawing the Kanglong Rod from his waist, preparing for battle.
A smile appeared on Zhang Xiaoqiang's lips as he drew the Copper Coin Sword from his waist, "Yu Ye, I won't hold back."
Yu Daohhen's eyes were firm, "I know, let's begin."
As soon as Yu Daohhen finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang stomped his foot on the ground and charged towards Yu Daohhen, leaving a deep snow pit where he had stood.
Yu Daohhen simultaneously swung the Kanglong Rod to block. In a flash of lightning, the Kanglong Rod and the Copper Coin Sword clashed.
*Clang!*
A crisp sound of cold weapons colliding echoed through the old street.
The moment their eyes met, both of them took a step back.
Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his other hand, conjured the Five Thunder Palm, and struck. Seeing this, Yu Daohhen also conjured the Tianqian Palm and met the attack.
*Bang!*
As the two palms collided, Yu Daohhen's expression turned grim.
When did Qiangzi's strength become so formidable!
Zhang Xiaoqiang's expression on the opposite side also became somewhat grim.
His strength was originally inferior to Yu Daohhen's. Although he had cultivated diligently over the past year, Yu Daohhen had not been idle either.
The force between the two palms grew stronger, and the air began to compress.
*Boom!*
The two forces reached a critical point and exploded!
Both of them retreated several meters.
Yu Daohhen stabilized his body and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had also slid back, with a grim expression.
His palm, which had just clashed, trembled uncontrollably, a numbing sensation making it almost impossible to lift.
Zhang Xiaoqiang put his hand behind his back and smiled faintly, teasing, "Yu Ye, your strength has regressed rather than advanced in the past year."
Although Zhang Xiaoqiang appeared unharmed, the hand behind his back was also trembling with pain.
If he hadn't managed to deflect that blow in time, that hand would have been crippled.
Yu Daohhen truly didn't want to fight anymore, saying, "Qiangzi, that's enough."
"We haven't decided the winner yet," Zhang Xiaoqiang said, immediately pulling out two talismans and shooting them over.
Yu Daohhen helplessly swung the Kanglong Rod, slashing at the two incoming talismans.
*Bang! Bang!*
The moment the Kanglong Rod struck the talismans, they exploded, stirring up the snow from the ground.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already swung the Copper Coin Sword to stab him.
Seeing the Copper Coin Sword at close range, Yu Daohhen stomped on the ground, retreating backward while forming a hand seal and taking a deep breath. Flames erupted from his mouth, rushing towards Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang bit his finger, smeared the blood on his eyelids, and then suddenly opened his eyes. Two golden lights shot out, and the incoming flames instantly vanished.
"The Heavenly Master's Mansion's Spell Dissolving Pupils!" Yu Daohhen was shocked.
Legend had it that the Heavenly Master's Mansion possessed a pupil technique that could dissolve all spells.
However, to cultivate this pupil technique, one had to be born with a perceptive eye.
But people born with perceptive eyes were extremely rare, not an exaggeration to say one in ten million.
Like the Yin-Yang Eye, it could not be achieved through later cultivation.
How did this Qiangzi manage to learn the Spell Dissolving Pupils?
Despite his surprise, Yu Daohhen's movements were not slow. He conjured the Dikun Hand and attacked Zhang Xiaoqiang.
The Spell Dissolving Pupils only had the ability to dissolve spells and possessed no offensive capabilities.
Seeing Yu Daohhen attacking, Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his Copper Coin Sword to strike, but it was deflected by Yu Daohhen's Kanglong Rod.
Zhang Xiaoqiang inwardly cried out "not good" and was about to counterattack, but Yu Daohhen's Dikun Hand had already reached his throat.
Zhang Xiaoqiang swallowed, a forced smile appearing on his lips, "Yu Ye is truly decisive."
Yu Daohhen had no mood for pleasantries and said sternly, "I won. You cannot take Li Xin."
Zhang Xiaoqiang's lips curved upwards, "Is that so? Then look at your feet."
