He glared at Gu Qianying with ill intent and said indifferently, "With your frail body, you could defeat the twelve bronze figures outside. Quite formidable."
He then noticed Bai Yufeng, his expression immediately darkening. However, he seemed not to recognize him and instead let out a sharp laugh.
"So that's how it is. You had help. Otherwise, for someone like you to oppose me would not have been easy."
Gu Qianying let out a cold laugh, clenched her fists, and slowly raised her eyes.
"My good sir, it's best not to look down on others so readily."
Bai Yufeng stepped forward and, in a voice only they could hear, said, "I'll help you."
Gu Qianying slowly shook her head and said faintly, "I don't want to cheat. I believe that facing the person before me, I will not necessarily lose."
She deliberately emphasized her final tone, which Bai Yong quickly picked up.
Bai Yong looked at Gu Qianying in surprise and then burst into laughter again.
"Interesting. You said it yourself. A one-on-one fight. You certainly have some courage."
Gu Qianying brought her fists together and bowed to the person before her, her attitude very gentle.
"Brother, I came here specifically to spar with you today. I never intended anything else. Please, do not make things difficult."
"Between the two of us, we only need to determine a winner to settle the matter. As for any other disturbances, there's no need to mention them!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yong immediately felt that Gu Qianying was a straightforward person.
He let out a loud laugh and slowly rose from the ground.
Without further ado, his figure rapidly transformed into a sharp beam of light, circling Gu Qianying.
The only sound in the entire arena was his piercing cry.
"Little girl, you wrote in the invitation that if you could defeat me, you would make me support that Bai Yufeng fellow. Now, let's begin! Let me see just how powerful you are!"
Gu Qianying chuckled and similarly unleashed her spiritual energy, which transformed into a ripple around them, enveloping them both.
Bai Yufeng, standing outside, did not want Gu Qianying to be harmed and, with a thought, was about to rush forward.
Just then, he heard Gu Qianying's voice.
Her words carried a plea, "Whether or not this matter concerns you becoming the clan leader, please believe me, I will not be defeated by him!"
Bai Yufeng sighed and finally lowered his stiffened hand, standing in place with worry etched on his face, his eyes never leaving the front.
Bai Yong possessed immense strength.
Coupled with years of training and a particularly potent bloodline power, these two advantages combined made even Gu Qianying, when facing him, almost fall into a disadvantage at times.
After a period of fighting between the two.
Upon realizing each other's strength, they instantly separated in mid-air.
Gu Qianying suppressed the boiling in her bloodline, wiped the residual blood from her lips, and suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Formidable! Your strength is far greater than that of a wild beast in the mountains!"
Wild beasts in the mountains were devoid of emotion, possessed immense power, and killed without hesitation.
In Gu Qianying's view, the person before her was no different from a wild beast in the mountains.
A beast sought food.
This man sought victory.
Bai Yong's eyes widened, and he let out a sharp laugh, the power in his palm surging once more.
He raised an eyebrow at Gu Qianying and then asked, "You're not bad either! You actually managed to suppress my bloodline power at times. Quite impressive!"
As he spoke, he also felt a tremor within him and forcefully suppressed the metallic taste in his mouth.
Gu Qianying smiled leisurely, showing no fear.
"Naturally. If I didn't have some skill, falling into your hands would be no different from seeking death!"
Gu Qianying had just noticed that Bai Yong's speech was slightly strained, clearly indicating a deficiency in his qi and blood.
It seemed that Gu Qianying's previous offensive against Bai Yong had yielded results.
The current opportunity was excellent.
Without a second thought, Gu Qianying surged forward, disregarding her own injuries, and unleashed the full force of her internal power.
Her frenzied actions even startled Bai Yong.
Bai Yong quickly retreated, clasping his hands together to form a shield, attempting to block Gu Qianying's power.
As several white lights erupted.
The situation on the field once again reached a fever pitch, with even the surrounding aura being affected and receding.
The residual dust in the secret chamber swirled around.
Gu Qianying struck again with a palm, bringing with it a whistling aura. The man laughed maniacally, blood at his lips and fervor in his eyes.
"Brother Bai, your power is indeed considerable, but I'm afraid you are destined to lose today!"
Bai Yong was enraged, his body stiffening with a tremor, and he could only narrowly dodge the attack by shifting sideways.
As he floated in mid-air.
He felt as if the energy within him had been drained.
Gu Qianying, however, was completely unaffected and landed lightly in mid-air, looking down at Bai Yong with disdain.
Gu Qianying spoke from above, "Brother, it's not too late to surrender now, or things will become difficult later!"
Bai Yong was furious. He had never been so insulted in his life.
He roared again, concentrating all his power, his feet kicking up like wings of flight, and strode towards Gu Qianying.
Gu Qianying's eyes flashed, and she anxiously tried to dodge.
However, she accidentally met Bai Yong's palm.
A cry was heard.
Gu Qianying's internal energy was also drained, and like a kite with a broken string, she drifted weakly in mid-air.
Bai Yufeng, watching from below, was instantly alarmed and couldn't resist the urge to rush forward.
But he remembered what Gu Qianying had said.
He could only grit his teeth and stop his advance, his eyes filled with resentment as he glared furiously at Bai Yong.
He swore that if Bai Yong dared to lay a single finger on Gu Qianying, he would make him perish without a burial place.
Bai Yong laughed heartily. He had been suppressed all along.
Now that he finally had a chance to turn the tables.
He would not let it go.
Bai Yong's body suddenly moved downwards, and he lifted a massive stone lion.
This stone lion weighed at least a thousand pounds.
Yet, in his hands, it was like a feather. He easily lifted it and then hurled it heavily.
The stone lion was so enormous that if it fell upon a person, it would likely break all their bones and render them completely unable to resist.
Seeing this situation.
Gu Qianying's heart trembled violently. If she were hit by the stone lion, the outcome of their match would be clear.
Gu Qianying absolutely could not let this happen, so she gathered all her internal power, transforming it into dantian qi, and with her body becoming like wings, she floated around the arena.
Finally, as the stone lion's momentum waned, it landed smoothly on the ground.
Bai Yong was initially triumphant, believing that he was destined to win this match.
