Chapter 487 - 136: The Way of Balance! Tearing Off All Pretense

This unique opportunity could be gone in an instant.

How could Yun Hu miss it?

Aiming for the gap, Yun Hu swung his stick with full force.

"Bang!"

The next moment.

Under a multitude of incredulous gazes, Qu Zheng’s figure was sent flying.

The Grandmaster was defeated.

This was something no one dared to imagine before the battle began, and now these two brothers had really done it.

After a moment of silence around, a deafening cheer suddenly erupted.

"Phew!"

Yun Hu also showed a relieved expression at this moment.

Listening to the surrounding cheers, he couldn’t suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you okay!"

He went over to Guan Bao and helped him up from the ground.

In Yun Hu’s view, with Guan Bao’s strength, that hit just now shouldn’t threaten Guan Bao’s life.

"Nothing!"

Shaking his head, Guan Bao steadied himself.

"It’s just strange. Normally, my vitality recovers quickly, but now I feel like I’m depleted!"

He clenched his fist.

Feeling extremely weak, Guan Bao was somewhat perplexed.

The vitality was disguised by inner breath, and now, with so much Inner Strength consumed, the disguise naturally doesn’t hold up. However, after a period of recovery, there shouldn’t seem to be any issue.

"It must be that the intense battle caused excessive consumption!"

Yun Hu furrowed his brow and analyzed.

Unable to figure it out, Guan Bao nodded in agreement, planning to rest and see if his vitality could recover.

"Second Brother!"

At this moment, seeing something, Guan Bao’s attention immediately shifted.

He forgot about his vitality issue.

Not far away, Qu Zheng, who had been knocked away, was slowly standing up again.

He was indeed a Grandmaster.

Though he looked disheveled, it was not life-threatening.

Yun Hu’s eyes became serious suddenly.

But!

"I really am getting old!"

Having stood up again, Qu Zheng showed no intention of continuing the fight but rather looked up in a sentimental manner, saying this before turning directly and leaving!

As if he was genuinely lamenting his aging.

Victory!

Seeing this, Yun Hu realized they had won, truly defeated a Grandmaster.

"Second Brother!"

Guan Bao also understood what this meant.

He looked excitedly at his second brother.

"Don’t worry, our good days are about to begin!"

Yun Hu tried to suppress his rising smile as he spoke to Guan Bao.

Then he looked at the others around.

"Everyone, the battle just now was quite exhausting for my brother and me. Today’s challenge ends here; if anyone wishes to continue challenging us, perhaps you can wait until we regain some strength!"

Hearing this, no one present found it strange.

After all, defeating a Grandmaster with Innate Cultivation was already incredible. If there was no consumption at all, that would be strange.

Moreover.

The battle just now really thrilled everyone watching.

So everyone respected Yun Hu and Guan Bao’s departure and didn’t say anything.

"Let’s go back and rest for a while!"

Seeing this, Yun Hu nodded contentedly and then spoke to Guan Bao.

"Okay!"

After that short period, having recovered some Inner Strength, Guan Bao felt his vitality recovering quite a bit.

His heart calmed down significantly.

He really thought his Inner Strength had an issue, but it turned out to be overthinking it. Genuine cultivation shouldn’t lead to a vitality issue, so Guan Bao was ready to rest.

He agreed readily.

,,,

"Grandpa Qu!"

Here, after leaving the crowd.

Qu Zheng saw not far away Mei Ji and Granny Liu in disguise.

Upon seeing Qu Zheng come over.

Mei Ji spoke with a sentiment in her eyes.

"Grandpa Qu’s acting is so great; just now I really thought you were knocked away!"

",,,"

The trusting gaze of the young girl made Qu Zheng blush and fall silent.

Could he say that actually, the last strike wasn’t holding back?

Originally.

Qu Zheng was also considering how to hold back without letting others notice.

As it turned out, he didn’t hold back, and it was over.

But.

This situation seems to be the most embarrassing, right?

"Ahem! What I do, there’s naturally no need to worry, Mengzhu, there are many people outside paying attention, you’d better go back first!"

Clearing his throat, Qu Zheng spoke earnestly.

"Alright, I understand!"

To this.

Without any doubt, Mei Ji naturally nodded and agreed.

Internally, she couldn’t help but think.

Since Grandpa Qu succeeded here, the plan went smoothly, and soon enough, they could finally avenge Sister Liu!

The thought of revenge made Mei Ji’s mood leap with excitement.

On the way back, she couldn’t help but hum a tune.

"Phew!"

Seeing Mei Ji not questioning further and turning away, Qu Zheng let out a long breath, grateful it was over.

But.

Just after relaxing, Qu Zheng turned and saw Granny Liu’s eyes as calm as water.
