Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi had reached a level of strength that ordinary martial artists could hardly imagine.
Running at full speed, the four of them moved like bolts of lightning across the mountains, heading toward the place where Bai Yingshi and her disciple usually rested.
Feeling the strong wind blowing so fiercely that it was almost impossible to keep their eyes open, Zhu Yuyan and Bai You'er were filled with astonishnt. They weren't surprised by Bai Yingshi's speed, but they hadn't expected Ye Fei to be equally formidable.
At that mont, they began to believe that Bai Yingshi's earlier statent about not being Ye Fei's match wasn't just a dismissal of Lu Feng.
Carrying the two shocked won, Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi stopped almost simultaneously by a cave. Seeing this seemingly ordinary cave, Ye Fei felt a sudden connection. It reminded him of the cave in Changbai Mountain, the place where his relationship with his mother had undergone a profound transformation. He had deep mories of that place, and this cave gave off a similar vibe.
Could this also be a guardian's resting place? Ye Fei wondered, feeling even more curious. They had stayed in that cave for several days but hadn't seen anyone. Did that an the guardian of Changbai Mountain had disappeared?
Ye Fei didn't know that the guardian of Changbai Mountain hadn't disappeared. They had left the mountain and were now searching for him. Shortly, he would face a situation that could either be a stroke of luck or a disaster. But that's a story for another ti.
After stopping, Bai Yingshi didn't give Ye Fei much ti to think. After releasing her disciple's hand, she suddenly turned and launched a fierce attack on Ye Fei, her moves and techniques sharp and relentless.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuyan's face turned pale. Although she had started to believe Bai Yingshi's claim about not being Ye Fei's match after their earlier speed contest, she still couldn't be entirely sure. Bai Yingshi had been recognized as the number one martial artist for over a decade, so Zhu Yuyan couldn't help but feel extrely worried.
In contrast to his master's anxiety, Ye Fei remained relaxed. He could tell that Bai Yingshi had no ill intentions toward him. Even if his strength were inferior to hers, she wouldn't truly harm him. With a laugh, he gently pushed his beloved master aside and turned to face Bai Yingshi.
Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi were undoubtedly the top martial artists of their ti. As they clashed, the sheer force of their movents created gusts of wind that even Zhu Yuyan and Bai You'er, who were also top-tier experts, struggled to withstand. They had to retreat over twenty ters to find so relief.
While such a peak-level battle would be a valuable experience for any martial artist, Zhu Yuyan had no mind to appreciate it. Her heart was entirely focused on Ye Fei, her disciple who had initially confused her but whom she now deeply loved. Even though she saw he wasn't at a disadvantage, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Bai You'er's emotions were more complicated. Due to her "grudge" with Ye Fei, she hoped her master would teach him a lesson. Yet, for so reason, she also didn't want her master to hurt him too badly. She couldn't explain why she felt this way.
Perhaps because neither of them used lethal moves, the battle between Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi lasted a full two hours before they both stopped simultaneously.
"Sister Bai's martial skills are truly impressive. I admit I'm no match," Ye Fei said with a smile, subtly using a more familiar form of address to bring himself closer to Bai Yingshi.
Bai Yingshi didn't mind this. She smiled faintly and said, "But I still lost." With that smile, her deanor underwent a dramatic change. Previously, she had been saintly and untouchable, but now she seed more like a friendly older sister.
Although it was just a fleeting mont, it made Ye Fei's heart race. While her previous deanor had been captivating and filled him with a desire to conquer her, this montary change made her feel more approachable. He wondered if this expression was just a one-ti thing or a glimpse of her true nature.
"Master, his skills aren't as good as yours. Why do you say you lost?" Bai You'er asked, confused. While she didn't want her master to hurt Ye Fei, she also didn't want to see her master lose to him.
"Let's go inside to talk," Bai Yingshi said calmly, gesturing for Ye Fei and Zhu Yuyan to enter the cave.
Ye Fei smiled, holding his master's hand as he followed Bai Yingshi and her disciple into the cave. Though it might have seed odd for them to hold hands while not in a hurry, neither Bai Yingshi nor Bai You'er paid it any mind.
Bai You'er was eager to know the answer, while Bai Yingshi simply didn't care much about matters of love and affection.
"Master, tell !" Bai You'er urged as soon as they sat down inside the cave. She was quite dissatisfied with the idea of her master losing to Ye Fei, and her reaction revealed another side of her.
Despite her usual cold exterior, she was still a young woman in her twenties, and she couldn't help but act coquettishly with the master who had raised her.
Bai Yingshi nodded at Zhu Yuyan, who also looked puzzled, and then explained, "During the fight, I found 237 flaws in his technique, but he only found one in mine. That's why I said my skills are superior."
"But if that's the case, why did you say you lost?" Bai You'er asked, still confused. Zhu Yuyan shared the sa question. Although both won were top-tier experts, the fight had been too fast for them to fully grasp what had happened.
"Even though I found so many flaws, his speed and strength were too overwhelming for to exploit them. The one flaw he found in , however, was fatal," Bai Yingshi explained calmly, showing no sign of frustration at losing to a younger generation martial artist.
Only then did the two won understand what had happened. They looked at Ye Fei with astonishnt.
As the guardian of Tianshan, Bai Yingshi's power should have been unmatched in these mountains. Yet Ye Fei had overpowered her with sheer strength. Just how strong was he?
