Huang Yundao had been employing a strategy of swift and aggressive attacks, continuously pressuring Su Fan.

He wanted to directly defeat Su Fan with a momentum as fierce as a tiger.

Originally, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Although he couldn't do much to Su Fan, Su Fan wasn't posing a threat to him either.

However, he himself was only a near first-rate, if not a high second-rate, grandmaster.

He mistakenly believed that Su Fan's level was similar to his own.

But he would never have thought that not only was Su Fan not a near first-rate expert, or even a first-rate expert, but a supreme expert!

A martial artist of this level, if they make a move, there will definitely be a decisive outcome of life or death!

"Bang!"

As Huang Yundao threw another punch, Su Fan advanced instead of retreating, directly confronting the attack head-on.

"Boom!"

His entire body's vigorous and powerful martial true qi was unleashed without reservation at that moment.

The terrifying aura that could shake mountains and forests instantly rushed towards Huang Yundao.

Huang Yundao suddenly felt like a lone boat in a storm, at risk of capsizing at any moment.

Upper Step Move Barrier Hammer!

Su Fan's fierce and domineering fist technique directly shattered Huang Yundao's offensive into nothingness.

A force as immense and unstoppable as thunder and lightning suddenly closed in on Huang Yundao!

Su Fan's current mastery of the Harmonizing Four Symbols Secret Technique had reached a level of freedom at will.

His already incredibly powerful Tai Chi true qi now possessed the dense qualities of earth.

"Buzz——"

Huang Yundao dared not be negligent. At that critical moment, he could only muster his protective qi barrier to resist.

All his martial true qi wildly surged into the protective qi barrier at that moment.

A transparent protective qi barrier emerged around his body, faintly displaying an indestructible quality.

But it was only "faintly displaying," not truly possessing.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

Su Fan's move "Upper Step Move Barrier Hammer" seemed to aim at taking Huang Yundao's life.

Even though he didn't display the overpowering prowess of a later-stage Martial Arts Grandmaster, he still crushed Huang Yundao's protective qi barrier effortlessly.

Huang Yundao hurriedly forced out a second protective qi barrier, which was also shattered.

Even after the protection of two consecutive qi barriers, he was still like a kite with a broken string, flung backward.

After landing, he slid a long distance on the dry leaves in the forest before barely stabilizing himself.

"Pfft!"

As Huang Yundao struggled to get up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His gaze towards Su Fan was filled with astonishment.

He hadn't expected that Su Fan's swordsmanship was unmatched among peers, and his Tai Chi had reached such an unfathomable level.

After defeating Huang Yundao, Su Fan did not humiliate him nor did he continue to attack.

"Tap! Tap!"

He stepped towards Huang Yundao and pressed a few points.

Then, using Tai Chi true qi, he helped Huang Yundao repair his damaged meridians.

As for the minor internal injuries, Huang Yundao could tend to them himself upon returning.

Seeing Su Fan's actions, Huang Yundao felt a bit ashamed.

He had been so eager to defeat Su Fan and break into the grandmaster rankings that he resorted to somewhat unscrupulous methods.

However, admitting his mistake at this moment, he couldn't bear to swallow his pride.

He could only say, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Su, perhaps this would be useful to you. I present it to you."

What Huang Yundao handed to Su Fan was a snuff bottle.

This item was very popular back in the Qing dynasty.

During the period of the Republic of China, some people still used it.

But Huang Yundao was not giving the snuff bottle to Su Fan to encourage a revival of Qing dynasty customs.

On this snuff bottle, there were two maps.

Su Fan glanced at it and asked, "Grandmaster Huang, what is this?"

Huang Yundao replied, "I once saved a descendant of the Zhang family. He said that his ancestors mentioned that in these two places by South Lake, there might be the legacy of Master Zhang."
