Everyone was stunned when they saw this woman walk out. This woman was none other than the only woman in the Celestial Master Camp, Song Yuan.
Just as Chu Yuan was about to step forward, a man suddenly grabbed her hand. This man was her husband, Chu Zhizhen. The two of them were the only husband and wife in the entire Celestial Master Camp, and they were both Level 4 Celestial Masters.
Chu Zhizhen was 49 years old this year, and he was a late-stage Level 4 Celestial Master. Song Yuan was 43 years old this year, and she was an early-stage Level 4 Celestial Master. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and they had grown up step by step. Unlike the other Celestial Masters who were already in the Celestial Master Camp, these two joined the army after the war broke out. With their strength, it was not difficult for them to escape, but they threw themselves into the war without hesitation.
Some people asked them why, and they simply said that they did not want their country to be invaded, and that was it.
Because of their strength, they still looked very young. Lu An watched this mature woman break free from the man's hand and walk towards him step by step without much emotion.
"My name is Song Yuan." Song Yuan raised her hand and said with a strong voice, "I'm here to ask for guidance from the Vice Battalion Commander!"
Lu An's eyes narrowed. He did not want to fight with a woman, especially since she was one of his own. Even if he did not hurt her, he did not want to embarrass her. However, this was the army, and he could not let her go back. In the snow, he turned to look at Nie Han and Xu Zhu.
Nie Han and Xu Zhu knew what Lu An meant. Xu Zhu walked out and said to Song Yuan, "Song Yuan, let Lu An fight with someone else first. You watch first."
"No need." Song Yuan immediately refused and said, "I want to see the Vice Battalion Commander's strength."
"…"
Nie Han and Xu Zhu looked at each other, but Nie Han quickly thought of something and said, "How about this, to make the battle seem more intense, we'll set some restrictions for Lu An!"
Xu Zhu was stunned and said, "Okay!"
Then, Xu Zhu ran to Lu An's side and drew a circle in the snow under Lu An's feet. The circle was only two feet in diameter, just enough for Lu An to stand.
Was this … also considered a restriction?
After Xu Zhu finished drawing the circle, he also felt that it was a little too much and wanted to change it. Just then, Lu An said, "That's it."
Xu Zhu was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Lu An wasn't joking, he immediately withdrew and said, "In that case, Song Yuan will be the first to challenge the Deputy Battalion Commander!"
Hum —
Before he finished speaking, Song Yuan's sword was already out of its scabbard, making a buzzing sound. She looked at Lu An and said, "Vice Battalion Commander, please show your weapon!"
"No need," Lu An said. "You do it."
Song Yuan frowned. She didn't expect the Vice Battalion Commander to look down on her so much that he didn't even take out his weapon. She didn't say anything else and just thrust her sword at Lu An.
Because it was a spar, in order to avoid causing large-scale damage, everyone would try their best to suppress their strength. This included Heavenly Skills as well. Song Yuan was a metal-type Heavenly Master. Golden armor covered her entire body. She focused all her strength on her sword and stabbed it at Lu An!
Whoosh!
Lu An leaned to the side and dodged the sword. Song Yuan sneered and immediately slashed her sword horizontally towards Lu An's chest.
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely use their weapon to block. If they didn't use their weapon, they would have to escape. But Lu An didn't. When he leaned to the side, he was already prepared to bend over backwards. Her sword swept across his bent face. At the same time, he lifted his left leg and aimed it at the opponent's dantian.
Song Yuan was shocked and immediately punched out with her left fist towards the opponent's instep. Lu An naturally felt it, but he didn't expect the opponent to be able to defend while attacking. His reaction was so fast.
However, Lu An's movements always left him some leeway. He suddenly stopped his leg halfway, causing Song Yuan's punch to miss. She felt like she had used the wrong amount of strength. At the same time, Lu An used the force of his left leg to straighten his body. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed at Song Yuan's left arm!
Song Yuan was shocked. She quickly pulled back the sword in her right hand and slashed it towards Lu An's head to block Lu An's attack.
Pa!
Lu An's real target wasn't Song Yuan's left hand at all. He didn't have enough distance. What he wanted was for Song Yuan to swing her sword again in panic. But this time, she obviously didn't control the distance well. Her body leaned forward so that he could grab her wrist after stretching out his arm.
Lu An did indeed grab her wrist. At the same time, he pressed down on three major acupuncture points on Song Yuan's wrist. Suddenly, Song Yuan felt her right arm go numb!
Her right arm went numb and her strength disappeared. Lu An pressed down with his right hand, forcing Song Yuan's right hand to bend. In pain, Song Yuan instinctively let go of her wrist and her sword fell.
Ding!
Lu An waved his left hand and hit the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, the arrow flew out, spinning in the air and nailing itself to the ground in the distance.
Following that, Lu An pulled Song Yuan in front of him. The two were only a few feet apart. Song Yuan hurriedly threw a punch at Lu An with her left hand, but this kind of attack posed no threat to Lu An. After Lu An dodged, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed Song Yuan's neck.
However, Lu An immediately let go of his hand. Song Yuan immediately gasped for breath and retreated a few steps. The moment her neck was grabbed, she felt death approaching.
"Thank you for letting me win," Lu An said softly.
Apart from the howling of the wind and snow, the surrounding people were silent. Everyone knew how strong Song Yuan was in close combat. Among Level 4 Heavenly Masters, if they didn't use Heavenly Techniques, no one dared to say that they could win against Song Yuan in close combat. However, seeing Song Yuan defeated in a few moves, Lu An actually stood in the circle without moving.
In fact, Lu An didn't even change the position of his footprints. Other than where Lu An was standing, the ground was still covered in snow.
Song Yuan looked at Lu An, her eyes finally filled with fear. At this moment, Song Yuan's husband, Chu Zhizhen, stepped out from the ranks and came to Lu An's side. He cupped his hands and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander, my wife and I have always advanced and retreated together. Our battle techniques are also the two of us. I would like to spar with you together. Is that possible?"
As soon as he said that, the surrounding people were stunned.
Two against one?
The surrounding people shook their heads. No matter how they looked at it, this was not fair. However, they looked at Nie Han and Xu Zhu, who seemed to have no intention of stopping them.
"Sure." Lu An nodded and said softly, "As long as you force me out of the circle, it'll be my loss."
Chu Zhizhen nodded and walked to a distance to pull out the sword and return it to his wife. Lu An had been very gentle, and Song Yuan's right arm had already regained feeling. The two of them held their swords and looked at Lu An cautiously, assuming an attacking stance.
However, after looking at each other, they saw Chu Zhizhen move to circle behind Lu An. The two of them pointed their swords at Lu An, one from the front and one from the back. They actually wanted to attack Lu An from two completely different directions.
Whoosh!
The two of them attacked almost at the same time, stabbing towards Lu An's chest and back. Chu Zhizhen's strength was higher than Song Yuan's. Whether it was speed or strength, he was much better than Song Yuan.
However, Lu An still didn't use a weapon. Seeing the two attacks coming, he leaned to the side at the last moment. At the same time, a layer of ice barrier appeared in front of and behind him, deflecting the force and allowing the two swords to brush past his chest and back.
Seeing this, the two of them again chose the same response. The two of them pulled out their swords and slashed towards Lu An's chest. In this way, Lu An absolutely couldn't dodge and could only be forced out of the circle!
Indeed, if it was Song Yuan's attack, Lu An could still take it head-on. However, Chu Zhizhen's strength was above his. If he took it head-on, he would really be injured, unless he used his dagger to block.
However, Lu An still didn't use his dagger. He released an icicle in front of him and directly let the two swords hit the icicle. Meanwhile, Lu An stretched out his hands through the gaps between the icicles, grabbing onto the swords of the two men.
Grabbing the swords?
Everyone was stunned. Wouldn't his hands be cut off like this?
The two of them also thought so and immediately wanted to flip their swords. However, Lu An didn't really grab the two swords. There was a layer of ice in his fist to protect his palm.
Taking advantage of the stiff period when the two of them were spinning their swords at full strength, Lu An's body suddenly rotated. At the same time, the two swords swept past his body and his crossed hands became parallel. In this way, the two of them were instantly pulled close to Lu An, almost touching him!
The two of them were shocked when they saw this and immediately swung their fists towards Lu An. At this time, Lu An suddenly raised the swords that the two of them didn't deliberately control and directly blocked their fists.
The two of them were stunned and hurriedly pulled back. At this time, the two of them held the swords with one hand and withdrew with the other. Their lower bodies were unstably pulled by Lu An, so they had lost all means of attack.
Lu An pulled back and patted the two of them on the shoulder, gently pushing them away.
