That's right, Lu An was injured.
Apart from the Hachiko clan, Lu An hadn't been injured in a one-on-one fight with someone of the same cultivation level as him for a very, very long time.
Blood was flowing out of two wounds on both sides of his ribs, and even his clothes had been pierced. However, the wounds weren't deep, less than half an inch deep. Furthermore, there wasn't any poison on the opponent's claws, so these wounds could be quickly healed by the Return to Heaven technique.
The wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and so were his clothes. These were the clothes that Fu Yu had given him. Water flowed out from the punctures and flowed back to the holes, quickly healing them without any trace of damage.
Lu An took a deep breath and raised his head to look at his opponent, who was a hundred feet away. His opponent didn't take advantage of his injury to pursue him, but was instead fixed in place. It seemed that his attack had forced his opponent to stop.
That's right, when the soul hunter's claws were about to stab Lu An, Lu An kicked out with his left foot, hitting his opponent's dantian. At the same time, he forcefully maintained the distance between the two of them, preventing the claws from going any further, piercing less than half an inch into his ribs. If it weren't for the support of his foot, Lu An's body might have been directly pierced through!
Lu An's counterattack was something that the soul hunter hadn't expected. At the same time, the soul hunter also didn't expect that he would be forced to use his true strength in the first exchange. Moreover, even though he had used his true strength, this human had still managed to defend against it.
Immediately, the soul hunter's expression changed from disdain and provocation to extreme seriousness. The kick to his dantian had affected his entire body's Qi, so he couldn't pursue him in time. More importantly, this human's reaction just now didn't seem to be an emergency at all, but a premonition!
Could it be that this human knew of his ability?
Of course, Lu An didn't know, but Lu An had indeed made a premonition. In a situation where he couldn't defend with his hands, he could only retreat and attack at the same time.
Lu An's thought process was very simple. His opponent could instantly move backwards, but it was also possible for him to instantly move forwards. That was why he had taken a defensive stance in advance, allowing him to defend himself against the opponent's terrifying movement speed.
However, Lu An had yet to determine what the other party's ability was. But this definitely didn't mean that Lu An didn't notice anything. On the contrary, Lu An caught a lot of clues even in an instant.
Taking a deep breath, Lu An walked out of the pile of rocks. The water on his body quickly washed away all the dust, leaving Lu An spotless and not in a sorry state.
The entire place was silent. Everyone had seen the first encounter clearly, and it made everyone realize that this human was not simple. The audience became even more silent as they held their breaths and watched the next battle.
"You have some ability." The Soul Hunter's voice was sharp, and his eyes turned from disdain to coldness. "You're a good prey."
Lu An acted as if he didn't hear him and didn't react at all. He held the dagger in his hands, ready to deal with the enemy's next attack.
Seeing that his opponent was so cold, the Soul Hunter's brows furrowed even more. After taking a deep breath, his figure suddenly dashed out again!
Boom!!
His speed was extremely fast, but this time, his speed was obviously restrained, and he didn't charge forward like before. Perhaps the Soul Hunter thought that this human was very strong in close combat, so he wanted to reserve some ability to deal with unexpected situations.
Whoosh!
The claw on his right hand swept past Lu An's shoulder. As Lu An dodged, the dagger was already in front of the Soul Hunter's neck. The Soul Hunter immediately dodged, and at the same time, the claw on his left hand went straight for Lu An's side!
Ding!
The dagger collided with the claw, and Lu An pushed it away. Instead of retreating, he moved forward. His left foot directly blocked the Soul Hunter's calf, and the dagger swept towards the Soul Hunter's waist.
However, the Soul Hunter reacted quickly. In addition, his speed was originally faster than Lu An's, and as he retreated even faster, his claws pierced towards Lu An's eyes!
Lu An dodged to the side and counterattacked again.
Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sound of countless weapons colliding rang out in the arena, and also in the hearts of the spectators. Every sound made the hearts of the spectators tremble, and they even held their breaths for a long time.
There was no powerful strength, no special moves, and both sides were fighting purely with their physical strength. However, this made the spectators' scalps tingle, and they trembled with fear!
This time, there were many moves, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed! What was even more shocking was that the range of these dozens of moves was actually no more than four meters in diameter. In other words, these two people were constantly exchanging blows in an extremely narrow range, attacking and defending on each other's blades. They were completely licking the blood on their blades!
The close combat strength of both sides was extremely shocking. The Soul Hunter's close combat strength was needless to say. Being called the "Assassin of the Arena" was enough to show how strong his close combat strength was. All of the Soul Hunter's opponents had to try their best to avoid close combat, or else they would definitely lose. The strange beasts that were stronger than the Soul Hunter had to use long-range attacks to defeat him.
This human was the first person who could fight the Soul Hunter head-on and not retreat at all!
Not only that, the thousands of spectators soon realized a very serious problem, and that was … in terms of close combat, the Soul Hunter was very likely not a match for this human!
After exchanging more than a hundred moves and clashing weapons dozens of times, although both sides were evenly matched in terms of movement, with neither side hurting the other, and neither side had the upper hand, it was obvious that there was a problem from the intensity of their emotions! The Soul Hunter's emotions were very tense, and his facial muscles were tense. His eyes were sharp, and his teeth were clenched. It was obvious that he was going all out.
As for this Lu An … in human terms, he was completely at ease.
From the looks of it, even such a stormy exchange of blows didn't put any pressure on this human. One had to know that this Soul Hunter's raw strength surpassed Lu An's. If the two of them had the same strength, this Soul Hunter would have lost long ago.
More importantly, this human was so relaxed … Could it be that he did not have a chance to counterattack during the battle?
This thought quickly appeared in everyone's mind, including the Soul Hunter.
He felt that this human in front of him was completely playing with him!
No way!
He could lose to a strange beast, but no matter what, he did not want to lose to a human!
Ding!
The moment the weapons of both sides clashed, the Soul Hunter's figure suddenly became illusory!
Lu An's eyes, which had been calm all this time, immediately turned cold. His body instantly rushed forward, and at the same time, he turned around and swept his dagger behind him!
Ding!
Just as the dagger was swung behind him, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard!
He blocked it!
Immediately, many of the spectators stood up and looked at this scene in disbelief!
This human actually blocked the Soul Hunter's attack in this state?
The Soul Hunter was obviously stunned, but he soon realized that his attack lacked the element of surprise. This human was not an ordinary opponent. Opponents who were weak in close combat would find it difficult to defend against attacks from behind. However, this human had very likely guessed that the Soul Hunter would appear behind him after disappearing, so he turned around and attacked!
Immediately, the Soul Hunter's figure disappeared behind Lu An once again. Lu An's body had completely turned around. As he flew backward, he threw out the daggers in his hands, aiming them above his head!
Ding! Ding!
The two daggers were instantly knocked away, and the one who attacked was none other than the Soul Hunter!
The Soul Hunter was stunned again!
This time, he did not choose left or right, but above. How did this human guess it?
Wasn't this a little too lucky?
After being forced to knock away the two Frost Daggers, the Soul Hunter's figure disappeared in the sky once again!
At this time, a cold light flashed in Lu An's hands, and the Frost Daggers were held in reverse in his hands again. He suddenly exerted strength in his legs, and his body, which was flying backward, suddenly stabilized. At the same time, he turned around and swept his left hand behind him!
Ding!
The sound of weapons clashing was heard again!
Lu An did not stop there. He threw a punch at the empty space in front of him!
Boom!
In an instant, a figure suddenly appeared, and flew backward, directly crashing into the terrain in the distance!
Rumble!
Dust and smoke rose, and a long road of smoke and dust, which was more than a hundred feet long, spread out in the arena.
At the same time, a stifling silence filled the air.
