Yu Daohen calmed down and said, "How about this, you test my skills. If you can't beat me, then it proves my strength is enough to pass. What do you say?"
Liu Feng sized up Yu Daohen.
He had to admit, Hen had changed a lot, judging by his aura alone.
Even he himself felt like a celestial being descended to earth.
He also didn't believe that Hen would rashly barge into the painting to save him.
However, the enemy they would face was a god, and not just any god!
"Fine, but let's agree beforehand. If I can defeat you, I'll leave immediately!" Liu Feng nodded in agreement.
Yu Daohen grinned, full of confidence, "Certainly. If I can't even defeat you, how can I hope to defeat those two gods."
Liu Feng looked at Yu Daohen and smiled faintly. Then, with a surprise attack, he raised his hand and thrust forward.
He intended to make Yu Daohen retreat with a single move.
Yu Daohen, with his quick eyes and hands, raised his own hand and used a counter-grapple to deflect Liu Feng's attacking hand-blade. He then reached out to lock onto his throat.
Liu Feng's face was filled with shock. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the chair and his body slid back two meters. He looked at Yu Daohen in astonishment.
When did Hen become so strong?
Yu Daohen grinned and asked, "How is it? Is my current strength enough to pass?"
Liu Feng chuckled lightly, stood up, tilted his head, and said seriously, "What's the rush? The real fight starts now. That was just to see if you had the qualifications to fight me."
Seeing Liu Feng say this, Yu Daohen also stood up, confidently stating, "Alright, today I'll make you completely convinced."
Liu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he began to get serious.
He had indeed underestimated Hen's strength just now.
But he had to admit, the current Hen had already grown into a true powerhouse.
However, this alone was not enough!
Liu Feng attacked first. As he reached Yu Daohen, he swung down with a hand-blade.
Seeing this, Yu Daohen did not dodge but counter-attacked. He blocked the incoming hand-blade with one hand and extended the other, preparing to lock his throat.
Liu Feng was slightly surprised that Yu Daohen didn't dodge but attacked. He clenched his other hand into a fist and struck out.
The speed of their attacks was incredibly fast, to the point where they were almost invisible.
Although every move was made with full effort, they were controlled to the point where they could be retracted.
As they fought, Liu Feng's expression of surprise grew more solemn.
He could feel that Hen's current strength was already very close to his own.
However, judging by his demeanor, it seemed he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
Seeing Liu Feng's attacks gradually slowing down, Yu Daohen's lips curved upwards, and he taunted, "What, are you giving up already?"
Liu Feng looked at Yu Daohen, knowing his little game. He smiled and said, "Are you trying to provoke me?"
Yu Daohen shook his head repeatedly, feigning innocence, "How could I? What kind of relationship do we have? Am I that kind of person?"
Looking at Yu Daohen, Liu Feng's mind flashed back to his past sparring sessions with Xu Feng.
They were in a similar situation back then.
The current Yu Daohen was truly like Xu Feng of those days.
No!
Xu Feng was Xu Feng.
Yu Daohen was Yu Daohen!
In battles between evenly matched opponents, the most dangerous thing was a divided mind.
At this moment, Liu Feng's defenses were full of openings, and Yu Daohen seized this opportunity, thrusting his hand-blade forward.
Liu Feng saw the incoming hand-blade and instinctively dodged backward, but it was already unavoidable.
Seeing that Liu Feng could not dodge, Yu Daohen immediately retracted his move.
Liu Feng, seeing that the outcome was decided, shook his head helplessly and conceded, "I lost!"
Yu Daohen smiled faintly and teased, "With me like this, your loss was inevitable."
Liu Feng looked at Yu Daohen, who was acting like a king, and said speechlessly, "Are you getting more chuunibyo as you get older?"
Yu Daohen wore a constipated expression, "You even know the word chuunibyo?"
Liu Feng gave him a "you're an idiot" look, "I'm not that old fogey Qin Muyu who only uses flip phones. Of course, I know these words."
Yu Daohen thought that was true; anything could come out of that guy's mouth.
However, he himself had never heard Qin Muyu utter any strange or unusual words.
He always seemed like the eldest son of a royal noble family living in ancient times.
Handsome and skilled, dressed in white ancient robes.
As for Liu Feng before him, well...
Although he was also very handsome, he had the aura of a rogue, constantly spewing vulgar jokes.
He was the type of handsome that was a bit roguish.
Liu Feng looked at Yu Daohen. Although he knew his resolve, he still asked, "Hen, you should also know the strength of those two gods. Even Qin Muyu and I couldn't defeat them."
Yu Daohen nodded, a calm smile on his face, "My mind is made up. I'm also aware of how terrifying the strength of those two gods is. Even you and Qin Muyu were defeated by them, so it would be a lie to say I'm confident."
"However, isn't it a happy thing to die fighting alongside you?"
Yu Daohen's eyes met Liu Feng's, and a smile appeared on his pale face.
Liu Feng looked at the current Yu Daohen, coughed dryly, and turned his head away, shocked and surprised.
When did Hen become so good at flirting?
Even this old driver like himself couldn't resist.
If Qin Muyu knew that he was taking Hen to his death...
Even if he went to the underworld, that guy would chase him to the underworld and grind him into dust.
This was something he was one hundred percent certain of.
Liu Feng coughed dryly and said, "I'm very happy you say that, but are you really sure? This life is..."
Before Liu Feng could finish speaking, Yu Daohen interrupted him, "I understand this is my last life, but I will never regret it. I don't know what choice I would have made in my previous nine lives when encountering such a situation, but I believe they would have made the same choice."
Liu Feng looked at Yu Daohen and fell silent.
Yes, the previous nine lives had all ended in failure.
Now it was his last life, and continuing like before would inevitably lead to failure.
A flower grown in a greenhouse would never amount to much when placed outside.
The current Hen had enough strength to protect himself.
It was time for him to stand on his own.
If he couldn't even deal with these two now, how would he cope with the great calamity in the future?
If anything were to happen to Hen, he would not hesitate, willing to perish with him, his soul scattered to the winds!
Liu Feng agreed, "Alright, I promise you. If we live, it's better. If we die, then I'll perish with you, making Qin Muyu envious and jealous."
"Mm."
Yu Daohen nodded without saying anything else.
He also understood Liu Feng's personality; if he were to die, Liu Feng would not live on alone.
However, this sounded a bit like a pair of doomed lovers.
They were supposed to be brothers.
Since they had decided to fight to the death, they should plan it well.
Yu Daohen inquired, "How is your injury now?"
Liu Feng shook his head, his tone becoming heavy, "With my current injuries, I can only exert seventy percent of my peak strength."
"Seventy percent!?"
Yu Daohen's face was filled with shock.
He hadn't expected Liu Feng's injuries to be even more severe than he had anticipated.
