And as Dugu Kui laughed heartily, Lin Fan simply stood there quietly, waiting. Once Dugu Kui finally stopped laughing, Lin Fan asked, "Are you done laughing?"

Dugu Kui replied, "Done laughing, what about it? Now, shall we begin our duel?"

After a brief pause, Dugu Kui continued, "Right, let us limit it to three moves. If you can withstand three moves from me, then, as far as this duel is concerned, I'll concede defeat. How does that sound?"

"Three moves?"

The people around, upon hearing Dugu Kui's words, shook their heads.

Did they truly believe Lin Fan could withstand three moves from Dugu Kui?

After all, Dugu Kui's Cultivation had reached the Perfect Realm of the Holy Venerate Realm.

Whereas Lin Fan's Cultivation was merely at the Early Period of the Saint Realm.

The difference between them was simply not on the same level!

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned towards Lin Fan, extremely curious to see how he would decide next.

As for Gao Feiyan, worry surfaced in her eyes at this moment.

Gao Feiyan was indeed very concerned, but in such a situation, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to step forward and say much.

"Heh!"

However, at this time, Lin Fan laughed.

Lin Fan declared, "Alright, since that's what you've said, then let's set the limit at three moves. But it won't be me taking your three moves; instead, you'll take my three moves. I'll return your earlier statement to you; if you can withstand three moves from me, then I'll consider it your win!"

What?

After hearing Lin Fan's words, everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

At this moment, everyone had a single thought in their minds: has Lin Fan gone mad?

If he hasn't gone mad, how could he utter such a wildly insane proposition?

To actually suggest that Dugu Kui withstand three moves from him?

Arrogance!

It was simply too arrogant!

Truth be told, everyone present had seen much of the world, and they had met many people. However, they felt that they had never before encountered someone as arrogant as Lin Fan.

And he was arrogant without even being aware of it!

Suddenly, they felt that Lin Fan, this guy, was simply a tragedy.

Even Feiyan's brows slightly furrowed; although she believed Lin Fan might achieve a miracle, the boast he just made was indeed too grand.

Little did they know, Lin Fan was not being arrogant without cause.

Lin Fan dared to speak so because he truly had the confidence to back it up.

This was, after all, inside the Heavenly Palace.

And Lin Fan was the lord of the Heavenly Palace.

Someone actually dared to challenge Lin Fan in the Heavenly Palace?

That was simply seeking discomfort!

"Ha ha!"

Dugu Kui laughed again heartily, exclaiming loudly, "Boy, oh boy, I must say, I've seen many arrogant people, but someone as arrogant as you is indeed a first for me!"

"Heh!"

Lin Fan just casually chuckled and said, "Soon, you'll know whether or not I'm truly arrogant!"

Having said that, Lin Fan paused slightly before continuing to address Dugu Kui, "Alright, I know you still have some nonsense to spout, but let me tell you, spare me the drivel. Come on, let us have our battle right here! Go ahead, you make the first move; if I were to act first, perhaps you won't even have the chance to strike!"

Lin Fan's tone remained calm as he spoke.

However, upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Dugu Kui's face turned incredibly unsightly.

"Hmph!"

Dugu Kui snorted coldly and said, "Fine, since you're so eager to seek death, I shall grant your wish!"

As he spoke, Dugu Kui made his move.

A punch was hurled directly towards Lin Fan.

It must be known, Dugu Kui's Cultivation is at the Perfect Realm of the Holy Venerate Realm; even a casual punch from him would possess earth-shattering power.

A simple punch, coming at Lin Fan, felt like a towering mountain bearing down on him.

Yet Lin Fan remained standing there calmly.

A faint smile was still present on Lin Fan's face, but in his heart, he silently thought: "Hmm, this Dugu Kui is quite decent; though he strikes, he does not deal a killing blow. It seems his heart isn't all that bad!"

Since Dugu Kui did not deliver a killing blow to Lin Fan, naturally, Lin Fan would not employ one either.

Just as Dugu Kui's punch was about to hit Lin Fan, Lin Fan's figure suddenly vanished from sight.

At the same time, Lin Fan's voice resonated from the void around them: "Dugu Kui, that was the first move. You have two more chances to strike!"

Without a doubt, Dugu Kui's punch missed.

"This..."

Dugu Kui was taken aback, unable to comprehend why his ferocious punch came up empty. How did Lin Fan manage to evade it?

In fact, not only was Dugu Kui shocked, but others were equally astonished, including Gao Feiyan.

They all couldn't understand how Lin Fan dodged Dugu Kui's attack.

While everyone was still surprised, Lin Fan's figure reappeared at his original location, still in the same posture as before, as if Lin Fan had been standing there all along without moving.

Dugu Kui looked at Lin Fan with some anger and said, "If you're so capable, stop dodging!"

"Heh!"

Lin Fan smiled again and said, "I've been standing here the whole time without dodging. It's just that you lack the strength to hit me, that's all!"

Then Lin Fan continued, "By the way, Dugu Kui, you better make your move quickly. Like I said before, you only have two more chances to strike!"

"Hmph!"

Dugu Kui snorted again and made another move.

In an instant, an overwhelming War Intent erupted from Dugu Kui's body.

Dugu Kui was like a blazing inferno.

His whole being seemed to transform into a colossal fist, like a brilliant planet with thousands of rays of light, charging directly at Lin Fan.

Dugu Kui had unleashed his strongest attack.

Many onlookers thought, "Dugu Kui finally used his strongest attack. The one who's going to be unlucky now is definitely Lin Fan!"

Some couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for Lin Fan.

Even Gao Feiyan was very worried for Lin Fan.

Gao Feiyan had prepared to intervene; if she saw Lin Fan in danger, she would rush to his aid without hesitation.

However, in the next moment, Lin Fan's figure still disappeared from sight.

Naturally, Dugu Kui's attack missed once again.

"This..."

Everyone was dumbfounded once more.

As for Dugu Kui himself, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He had put his full power into that punch, but ultimately, it didn't find its target, which was naturally a very unpleasant feeling.

"Ah..."

Dugu Kui roared in anger.

He simply could not accept this!

He felt that his strength was so much greater than Lin Fan's, but... what method was Lin Fan using to dodge, that he was able to continuously avoid his attacks?

Dugu Kui stopped in his tracks, ceasing further attacks.
