Pei Yan had instructed Wang Wenze not to destroy the gate, but it ended up completely destroyed. Watching the Sword Stand Man leap high, bringing down debris around him, Pei Yan had no time to worry about future accommodation issues and met the head-on attack with equal force.

The Sword Stand Man, descending with lightning speed, had already prepared several alternative moves, ready to block any escape route, no matter which direction the opponent fled. Yet, Pei Yan, unexpectedly standing his ground unflinching, prepared to take the attack head-on. With a defiant shout, the Sword Stand Man, with a mix of anger and glee, swung his large sword down furiously.

Thud! Amid the engine's roar, Pei Yan caught the opponent's slash with bare hands accurately. He withstood the tremendous impact! However, the ground beneath him couldn't bear the force, and a series of cracking sounds followed, with cobblestones beneath them splintering into countless cracks extending outward, causing the audience to leap back, leaving room for the duel.

"Ah! Open!" The Sword Stand Man was shocked by Pei Yan's keen judgment and immense strength and felt deeply humiliated. After shouting, continuous spiritual qi converted into sword qi rushing into Pei Yan's body through the sword.

"Hmm!" Pei Yan grunted amidst clashing with the Sword Stand Man, clearly suffering a hidden loss, yet soon a pleased smile appeared on his face. At the moment the sword qi invaded, he promptly mobilized his entire original energy to counter it. Watching the sword qi circulating between his arms and continuously attempting to shred his energy flow, Pei Yan felt a mix of joy and frustration, eager to master this way of manipulating energy.

His slight chuckle startled the Sword Stand Man pitted against him. This guy was not only enduring the force but standing firm against the sword qi, even he managed a carefree laugh! Given his realm is supposed to be lower than mine, where does such deep spiritual power come from?

"Ah! Open! Open! Open!" In shock and anger, the Sword Stand Man shouted three times, each adding more force, and a wave of sword qi higher than the last. Yet, after three shouts, the opponent still stood firm, without any change other than sinking three inches into the ground.

The two were at a stalemate for a while, but Pei Yan first grew bored, shifting the sword edge clamped between his palms aside with a foot aimed at the Sword Stand Man's abdomen. The dual swords remained trapped in the opponent's hands, and to avoid, the Sword Stand Man could only abandon his sword, a grave shame for any swordsman. So he clutched the hilt with one hand, unwilling to let go, while a blue protective array emerged on his chest.

Pei Yan released his hold on the large sword, causing the Sword Stand Man to be flung back, the sword in hand. A shattering sound echoed as smoke rose from the dismantled rockery in the courtyard, Pei Yan frowned with regret.

"This place is uninhabitable now; you did promise beforehand! If I win, you'll arrange for us to stay anywhere we want here." Pei Yan reminded, looking at the dust-covered Sword Stand Man walking back to him after a while.

"Pah!" Sword Stand Man spat out a murky breath, shrugged his shoulders, and smirked, "My words from Celestial Sword Manor hold weight. At that time, there won't be any reneging!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Having declined the help of fellow disciples, he stepped back with a firm grip on the sword, eyes fixed on Pei Yan searching for a chance to strike. After the initial encounter, he recognized the opponent's prowess—relying on brute strength with unreasonable thickness of spiritual qi, fortifying against his attack, already at a disadvantage in power, and seeking a breakthrough in technique.

Once resolved, Sword Stand Man shifted his stance, swung a horizontal slash at Pei Yan's neck, but Pei Yan, unrushed, waited for the opponent's move to tire before again reaching for the broad sword blade with his palms. Seeing this, Sword Stand Man, embarrassed and angry, knew if caught, he'd suffer the same fate, abruptly halted the sword mid-air, reversed it, and thrust it into the ground instead.

Pei Yan, miscalculating, marveled at Sword Stand Man's command over force, suddenly sensed the ground shaking violently beneath, forcing him to leap backward, only to see the earth rise up as three earthen dragons blocking his sides.

With curiosity, Pei Yan didn't retreat but advanced, kicking at one dragon's head.

"Hmm!" A muffled groan escaped; he felt a piercing pain from the foot into his tendons, the sword qi within the earth dragon tearing his defenses, wrecking the mechanical internal tendons, realizing his oversight—his protective energy only covered vital areas leaving weak points.

Seeing Pei Yan stumble, the Sword Stand Man, thinking his plan succeeded, swung again joyfully, shouting, "Treading so recklessly on an enemy's technique, are you bold or foolish?"

"Thud!"

"I'd say confident is more fitting!" Pei Yan replied with a smile, effortlessly conjuring a thin blade to block the opponent's path.

"Freeze!" yelled the Sword Stand Man as his attack got blocked once more; the surrounding space turned chilling instantly, sword qi mixed with frost rushing along the enemy's blade towards Pei Yan's long knife.

"Oh! Playing with ice, I'll add some fire!" So saying, Pei Yan twirled his fingers, prompting combustible gas to gather around his knife, with the clashes sparking a blaze so intense it erupted skywards.

Boom! The explosion forced both back a few steps, but Pei Yan swiftly advanced again, each slash faster and tighter. Not willing to be outdone, the Sword Stand Man rapidly swung his sword, both moving like butterflies as silhouettes interweaving, battling fiercely in the yard.

"Pei Yan, why bother with this guy, just blast him away!" Jiang Feiyang said anxiously, snatching a fan from Wang Wenze, fanning his hand while watching the battle scene.

"That brat is probing out of curiosity again!" Gu Shenghui remarked excitedly from aside, "Everyone watch closely! Don't get distracted! Pei Yan's actions serve his curiosity and help you understand the Daoist Plane's techniques and battle styles better. Don't miss this valuable observation! After we return, Pei Yan will explain battle details, summarize them, and each write down their insights and battle understanding. Once verified, we compile them as materials for colleagues who couldn't make it."
