In these four exchanges, Su Fan and Yagyu Shigetaka ended in a draw.

Su Fan's attacks were entirely neutralized by Yagyu Shigetaka, and Yagyu Shigetaka's attacks were also completely neutralized by Su Fan.

While Su Fan and Yagyu Shigetaka were fighting fiercely, battles elsewhere had already concluded.

However, Zhao Chunqiu and others couldn't come to help here.

The battle between Su Fan and Yagyu Shigetaka was too perilous.

The speed of both was astonishingly fast, and they had been fighting for a long time without a clear winner.

If others were to recklessly enter this battleground, they would undoubtedly meet a swift death!

All they could do was wait.

Wait for Su Fan and Yagyu Shigetaka to determine the victor, or wait for the perfect moment to ambush Yagyu Shigetaka.

The pressure Yagyu Shigetaka brought to Su Fan was immense; he was the most formidable opponent Su Fan had ever encountered.

Su Fan became increasingly serious, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Opposite him, Yagyu Shigetaka remained outwardly cold and calm.

But by now, he was increasingly terrified, even entertaining thoughts of retreat.

He was at the latter perfection stage of the Gang Qi Realm, while Su Fan was newly entering the Gang Qi Realm.

He had been practicing martial arts for over forty-five years.

Could a kid like Su Fan, barely in his twenties, have trained for fifteen years?

Under such circumstances, he surpassed Su Fan in both realm and combat experience.

Yet the battle results between the two were quite evenly matched, a draw!

How could such an outcome not astonish Yagyu Shigetaka?

"Swish!"

Just as Yagyu Shigetaka was in shock, Su Fan attacked once more.

This time, his Tai Chi Swordsmanship became continuous and relentless.

Now that other battles had ended, he could fight more fiercely without being overly cautious.

If he were cautious in facing the enemy, he and Yagyu Shigetaka might fight for hours without a winner.

After Su Fan changed his fighting style, Yagyu Shigetaka indeed gradually fell into a disadvantage.

There wasn't much of a difference between Su Fan and Yagyu Shigetaka.

The difference was that Yagyu Shigetaka already had retreat in mind, whereas Su Fan was determined to put him to death.

One pursued with unwavering resolve, while the other hesitated, even contemplating escape.

This allowed Su Fan to finally seize an opportunity and strike with his sword!

"Pssch——"

In his panic, although Yagyu Shigetaka managed to raise his protective Qi shield, it was still a step too late.

Su Fan's sword pierced his shoulder before his shield could fully manifest.

This forced Yagyu Shigetaka to quickly retreat and simultaneously tap twice on his shoulder.

Having already considered fleeing, being injured made Yagyu Shigetaka even more wavering.

Even though Zhao Chunqiu and the others didn't make a move, their watchful eyes distracted Yagyu Shigetaka.

Which allowed Su Fan to have another chance to strike.

However, he was not just anyone; Su Fan's next sword attacks, and the few after, were easily blocked by his protective Qi shield.

This shows how formidable Yagyu Shigetaka was, able to contend with Su Fan head-on despite all unfavorable conditions.

But his luck would soon run out.

As Su Fan and Yagyu Shigetaka clashed, Zhao Chunqiu seized the moment!

"Clang!"

His golden-backed ring saber fiercely struck Yagyu Shigetaka's lower back!

This slash didn't significantly harm Yagyu Shigetaka, but it allowed Ning Tianhe to seize the moment and unleash several punches to Yagyu Shigetaka's side.

Su Fan's Tai Chi Sword repeatedly thrust forward, forcing Yagyu Shigetaka to defend desperately.

Ning Miaoxi, taking the opportunity, viciously stabbed Yagyu Shigetaka's ears with her tri-edge military spike.

Though many of these lethal moves were blocked by Yagyu Shigetaka's protective Qi shield.

But such continuous attacks had pushed Yagyu Shigetaka's protective Qi shield to its limit.

Unable to withstand Su Fan's next sword.

"Crack!"

"Pssh! Pssh!"

With incredible speed, Su Fan pierced through Yagyu Shigetaka's protective Qi shield with one sword and then rapidly delivered several more fatal stabs.

These continuous strikes sealed Yagyu Shigetaka's fate, and this top martial artist could only die with regret!
