Just as Hu Man charged in for the kill, he disappeared from the spot again.

Boom.

Hu Man spun around from the west side of the stage to the east side.

But it was still empty!

"You..." Three continuous attacks, all easily dodged, Hu Man was furious.

But before he could say anything, Ao Min, who had disappeared, suddenly appeared behind him and delivered a powerful punch to the back of his head.

Although Hu Man was slow, his sense of crisis and reaction speed were typical of someone in the Spirit Gathering Realm.

Sensing the danger, Hu Man’s tiger arms shook violently!

Buzz!!

A yellow aura burst from within him, enveloping his body!

Bronze Skin Iron Bones!

The most renowned cultivation technique of the Yellow Tiger Clan!

Bam!!

Ao Min’s punch landed on the back of his head, but the imagined scene of Hu Man being severely injured did not occur.

Instead, a crisp metallic sound echoed.

It was as if Ao Min’s punch had struck a solid steel plate!

Thump thump thump...

Ao Min was jolted back several steps, barely managing to stabilize his posture.

Ao Min’s face was filled with shock, his eyes on Hu Man brimming with astonishment.

"Bronze Skin Iron Bones, the hereditary cultivation technique of the Yellow Tiger Clan,"

Ao Min exclaimed in surprise.

"Did you think you could easily defeat me? You’re thinking too much. What good is speed if all your attacks only tickle me," Hu Man smirked evilly, turning to attack Ao Min again.

Sometimes using the Black Tiger Heart Strike, sometimes pouncing like a tiger.

Every move was a killer move.

Brute strength was Hu Man’s forte, and Ao Min naturally wouldn’t engage in a hard fight, so against his attacks, Ao Min avoided them as much as possible.

Then he used his speed advantage to attack Hu Man again.

But each attempt was futile.

Because Hu Man’s Bronze Skin Iron Bones were too tough, it hardly caused any damage each time.

Even the cultivation techniques couldn’t break through his Bronze Skin Iron Bones!

Extremely troublesome!

Ao Min’s expression was dark as water.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such a difficult opponent right at the start.

An absolute defense, how to fight?

"Haha, although I’m not as fast as you, my skin is thick. I can make countless mistakes, but how many can you afford?" Hu Man realized that strength was Ao Min’s weak point and immediately felt smug.

"Do you think I can make mistakes?" Ao Min frowned, channeling spiritual energy throughout his body. Instantly, the dirt and debris on the stage gathered, forming a sharp blade! It stabbed towards Hu Man!

Ao Min knew that stealth attacks couldn’t break through Hu Man’s defense at all.

In that case, he might as well confront him head-on.

Using the strongest means to break Hu Man’s defense.

"Haha, you slippery eel finally want to have an honorable duel with me?" Hu Man, seeing the strong attack, was not afraid but more excited instead.

He laughed twice and charged forward.

Directly confronting the sharp blade.

It must be said, Hu Man’s Bronze Skin Iron Bones were indeed thick.

As his body gathered spiritual energy, forming an absolute defense, his arms seemed to turn into two indestructible iron hammers.

Punching directly against Ao Min’s spiritual energy-formed blade, there was no sign of injury.

In fact, after a few seconds of confrontation, he even had the upper hand!

"Ah! Break for me!" Hu Man roared with all his might, his aura erupting again, reaching a new tier.

Crack...

Under his brute force, the blade formed from dirt shattered, exploding on the spot!

"You die too!" After shattering the blade, Hu Man, still unsatisfied, took advantage of the momentum and swung another punch at Ao Min.

Ao Min was shocked!

This guy is too fierce.

His brute strength is nearly invincible.

Even though he was only at the mid-Spirit Gathering Realm level, the power of that punch just now was probably no less than a late Spirit Gathering Realm!

"Damn it!"

Ao Min cursed under his breath, quickly making a getaway.

In a flash, he dodged Hu Man’s attack.

Boom!!

Another missed punch from Hu Man resulted in a piercing sonic boom!

"To deal with such a brute force fighter, only intelligence prevails, never brute force!" Chen Yang, who was always observing the unfolding events on the stage, gave his analysis.

Coincidentally, after Ao Min evaded, he was near the side of the stage where Chen Yang was.

He happened to hear what Chen Yang said.

He was taken aback, then couldn’t help but glance in Chen Yang’s direction.

Chen Yang assumed the stage would block the aftereffects of the battle, as well as any outside noise.

To his surprise, Ao Min heard it.

Quick-witted, he once again whispered, "Knocking them off the stage also counts as a win, it doesn’t have to be about beating them."

With too many people around, and Mo Jun with unfathomable cultivation watching overhead, Chen Yang couldn’t say much and had to use whispers to remind Ao Min.

After hearing Chen Yang’s brief words, Ao Min instantly had a new perspective.

Previously, he had cornered himself into thinking he had to knock the opponent down to win, overlooking that getting them off the stage also counted.

Originally, Ao Min was almost in despair, feeling helpless against Hu Man.

But now, he saw hope again.

He smiled a little, gratefully glanced at Chen Yang, then stepped back two steps, standing at the edge of the stage!

"Hu Man, you big fool, what good is all your brute force if you can’t even touch a single hair of mine?" Ao Min directly said in mockery.

He also extended his hand, beckoning provocatively at Hu Man, "Come on, let’s see how good you are."

Having never touched Ao Min, Hu Man was already irked.

Now hearing Ao Min’s provocations, he was enraged.

"You’re courting death!" Hu Man gritted his teeth.

"Heh, I’m courting death? Hit me if you can," Ao Min sneered, displaying a smug expression.

"You die!"

Hu Man indeed fell for it, completely unaware of Ao Min’s current position. Enraged, he roared, once again unleashing all his strength, charging at Ao Min.

Ao Min knew this was the only chance to win!

So this time, he didn’t quickly dodge but deliberately stood his ground, channeling his cultivation technique, faking the intention to take the hit head-on.

Hu Man charged like a maddened bull.

Halfway through, noticing that Ao Min seemed to have no intention of dodging, he was delighted!

Deciding to seize the opportunity, intending to finish off this shameless guy with one punch!

Hence, he increased the force in his fists!

Aiming for a one-hit kill.

Previously, Chen Yang was an unnoticed figure in this arena.

Because no one had heard of a powerful cultivator named Chen Yang.

But after the recent events, many started paying attention to Chen Yang.

One after another, they engaged with Chen Yang. As the fist came closer, Hu Man’s excitement grew!

But just when he thought he was about to win.

The figure that stood before him suddenly vanished!

"Oh crap!" Hu Man was utterly shocked, quickly pulling back.

But with such a heavy momentum, how could he retrieve it in an instant?

The immense force and inertia dragged him forward.

In mere moments, he reached the edge of the stage, and his massive form was on the verge of being pulled off the edge by inertia.

"Stop!"

In a state of panic, Hu Man shouted, forcefully trying to halt himself at the edge of the stage.

At this moment, one of his feet was already off the stage, with only his heel still on.

Whew!

Hu Man exhaled a long breath, releasing the tension from his body.

He almost lost by falling off.

But he forgot, where was the disappeared Ao Min?
