Gu Yanzhou's movement was so fast, far beyond any enemy Lu Yu had encountered before. He flashed in an instant to appear before Lu Yu, fingers together, and suddenly struck his palm hard towards Lu Yu's chest!

Buzz!

As the palm was thrust out, a muffled rumble echoed through the air, carrying a fierce and heavy gust, pressing towards Lu Yu's face, thinning the air in front of him!

Hmm?

Seeing Gu Yanzhou's sudden attack, Lu Yu's eyes widened. He could feel the power of Gu Yanzhou's palm strike even through the oppressive wind!

A true master of Inner Boxing!

The power of Gu Yanzhou's palm strike was more terrifying than that of any previous enemy, with a forceful wind pressing so heavily it was hard to breathe.

If this palm strike hit, Lu Yu's internal organs would burst on the spot, resulting in instant death!

Realizing this, Lu Yu didn't hesitate; he moved his foot, twisted his body at an extremely strange angle, dodging Gu Yanzhou's incoming palm strike.

At the same time, he stepped back, keeping a certain distance from Gu Yanzhou, with sharpness flickering in his eyes, saying: "Sneaking into my residence silently in the dead of night, with such skills."

"It seems the Gu Family is really expending considerable resources to send a master like you!"

Lu Yu's eyes were as sharp as a fighting beast at midnight, glinting with a keen edge, rendering him stern all over.

Just by Gu Yanzhou's incoming powerful palm strike, Lu Yu could tell that Gu Yanzhou's strength was far beyond any enemy he had previously faced!

"I dare not claim to be a master, I'm merely a steward of the Gu Family, following the master's orders, inviting you to visit the Gu Family."

Seeing his palm strike miss, Gu Yanzhou did not continue to pressurize Lu Yu. He cast a sidelong glance and spoke calmly, his voice as cold as water, sending chills throughout: "But since you refuse to cooperate, I'll have to break your limbs and take you back!"

As these words came out, an overwhelming sense of pressure surged towards Lu Yu like a raging storm, making him feel tangible pressure!

Such strong oppression!

Feeling this pressure, Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat. Instantly analyzing the situation, he wasted no time, suddenly pushing off the ground with his legs, his body shooting out like an arrow, dashing straight out of the window!

The experiences of the past five years enabled Lu Yu to quickly assess the surroundings.

Currently, Lu Yu was certain; he mustn't clash with Gu Yanzhou within his residence!

Gu Yanzhou's strength, just from the oppressive aura, was immensely powerful, even more so than Lu Yu's own!

If a fight broke out now, it would be a fierce battle, and the confined space of his residence was unsuitable for combat.

Moreover, facing an Inner Boxing master like Gu Yanzhou, who excelled at close-quarters combat, gave Lu Yu no advantage in such an environment!

Therefore, Lu Yu aimed to change locations before dealing with Gu Yanzhou!

With the quickest speed, he darted out of the window, staying alert. As he descended, his toes lightly tapped on the balcony, landing rapidly, then dashed towards the nearby park!

"Trying to escape?"

Seeing Lu Yu dart out of the window, a hint of gloom flashed across Gu Yanzhou's face. His figure flickered as he shot out of the window, gently tapping the balcony mid-flight to land on the ground, and pursued Lu Yu at incredible speed.

Gu Yanzhou's skills were terrifying, rapidly shortening the distance between him and Lu Yu as they reached the nearby park, closing in considerably.

Bam!

With a muffled sound, Gu Yanzhou's right foot stomped heavily on the ground, unleashing a force that launched his body like a cannonball, his foot aiming a fierce kick at Lu Yu's back!

Inner Boxing, practiced to Gu Yanzhou's level, became truly terrifying. This kick, if it landed, not even granite would resist being pulverized.

Not good!

While running, Lu Yu felt a sudden chill at his back. He dared not be careless, quickly shifted his steps and twisted his waist, turning to deliver a sharp elbow strike towards the rear!

Bam!

With a dull thud, Lu Yu's elbow strike clashed against Gu Yanzhou's kick, resulting in tremendous force rebounding towards both, each stepping back with a trace of surprise on their faces.

Neither Lu Yu nor Gu Yanzhou held back in their clash, yet the outcome was evenly matched!

"Hmm?"

Seeing Lu Yu matching him, Gu Yanzhou showed slight astonishment. Yet beneath the bewilderment, a deep expression settled on his calm face, saying: "To think your elbow strike could match my kick; impressive, truly impressive!"

Amidst his words, Gu Yanzhou exuded a hint of arrogance: "A wastrel five years ago, indulging in food and play, now possesses such skills; it seems your parents' potion is indeed formidable!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp glint appearing.

It was no surprise that the Gu Family, being one of the clans that struck against the Lu Family back then, was well aware of Lu Yu's situation.

Yet, Lu Yu paid less attention to Gu Yanzhou's words than to the palpable aura he projected!

Currently, Gu Yanzhou exuded an increasingly menacing presence, rendering him perilously dangerous!

Lu Yu could clearly sense the formidable strength of Gu Yanzhou, surpassing any previous adversary he'd encountered!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's eyes revealed a touch of gravity.

Clang!

At this moment, Gu Yanzhou's hand reached towards his waist, and with a crisp sound, a thin, wing-like sword appeared in his hand!

This sword emitted a cold gleam, appearing incomparably sharp at first glance!

"This sword is called Rope Curve, my saber from youth, unused for many years."

Drawing the Rope-Curled Sword, Gu Yanzhou spoke coldly, gently caressing the blade with fondness, then his eyes radiated sharp brilliance as he addressed Lu Yu: "Today, I wield it again because of you!"
