The place where Su Fan and Huang Yundao were about to confront each other was in the suburbs of Yang City.

The environment was tranquil, with no one around.

The specifics of their duel would not be known to outsiders.

Huang Yundao had two purposes for choosing such a duel.

If he won, his techniques wouldn't be known to other grandmasters, so when he faced them, he wouldn't be targeted.

This was very important, just like when many martial artists make a move, others immediately recognize whether it is the Eight Diagram Palm or Yong Chun Fist.

What he would do next would then be expected by the opponent.

But if he lost, it didn't matter; others wouldn't know the specifics or how he lost.

He might be utterly defeated or narrowly lose.

In short, behind closed doors, sparring has many advantages.

He even managed to coax Su Fan into abandoning the use of weapons.

He knew a bit about the power of Su Fan's swordsmanship.

By not using his sword this time, Su Fan was essentially incapacitating himself.

Huang Yundao felt he gained a significant advantage this time.

However, he didn't know Su Fan agreed to his request because Su Fan thought there was no need to use a sword against this Grandmaster Huang in front of him.

Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Guan Yu draws his blade, he would proclaim: "This blade of Guan Yu does not cut down nameless men."

The implication being, if the opponent was insignificant, they weren't even worthy of dying by Guan Yu's blade.

Of course, after investigations by historians, Guan Yu's weapon back then wasn't the great saber depicted in stories.

But that's another matter; anyway, that's the point.

Su Fan and Huang Yundao stood in the forest clearing, adopting the Tai Chi Boxing stance.

Huang Yundao glanced over and laughed, saying: "Tai Chi doesn't step out the door in ten years; have you practiced Tai Chi for ten years, Grandmaster Su?"

Upon hearing this, Su Fan also laughed and said: "Why not have Grandmaster Huang try and find out?"

Huang Yundao laughed heartily and boldly said: "Alright! Let's see today whether my Tongbei Fist is more formidable or if Grandmaster Su's Tai Chi prevails."

Although his surname is Huang, Huang Yundao didn't practice the Shadowless Foot, but the Tongbei Fist.

Nowadays, many martial arts only have the framework but lack the corresponding inner strength and correct practice methods.

Therefore, when encountering top modern free combat masters, their skills seem like mere calisthenics, causing them to be thoroughly beaten.

But Huang Yundao was undoubtedly different; he diligently trained both the external and corresponding internal aspects of the Tongbei Fist.

When his arms swung, even main battle tanks could be crushed into scrap metal.

"Haah!"

Taking a breath, Huang Yundao shouted, launching the first attack toward Su Fan.

Su Fan sidestepped, and the tree behind him was shattered by a punch from Huang Yundao.

"Kill!"

Missing with one punch, Huang Yundao roared like a tiger and struck again.

Such a boisterous style doesn't actually have any issues.

Some martial arts schools indeed enhance momentum and power through vocalization.

At this moment, Huang Yundao resembled a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

Not only did his fists rage like the wind, but his mouth also issued roars akin to the howls of tigers and the cries of dragons.

Those who knew would understand it was two grandmasters sparring here.

For those who didn't, they might've thought Su Fan was battling a group of ferocious beasts here.

Facing the attack from Grandmaster Huang Yundao, Su Fan completely responded by dodging.

He employed the tactic of retreating to advance, a singular skill that ruled them all.

No matter how Huang Yundao attacked, he couldn't touch him.

After thirty rounds, Su Fan didn't intend to keep playing.

He was utterly certain that the person in front of him was a talentless bungler.

True masters, during sparring, wouldn't play so many tricks.

It's only people like Huang Yundao, with mediocre abilities, who would resort to so many schemes.

When Huang Yundao wanted to continue his aggressive attacks, rather than continuing to defend, Su Fan took the initiative to make a move.
