The people present were abuzz with discussion, and the noise spread continuously through the area.

"Baiman Mountain is a major power, and it seems Man Shanyue is the young master of Baiman Mountain."

"That’s right, he has reached the Unity Realm at a young age and possesses the heritage of Baiman Mountain, so his strength is extremely high."

"If he challenges Qin An, it might not be easy for Qin An. After all, even among the younger generation, he is considered a top figure, and he should be able to challenge Qin An."

"Although he is not the most famous among the younger generation, he has the most combat experience, probably more than many others."

As the discussions rose, Man Shanyue stood with his hands behind his back, appearing very confident.

Coupled with his nearly two-meter-high stature and robust muscles, his entire being exuded a wild aura.

Qin An’s gaze returned to focus on Man Shanyue, a slight smile on his lips: "Alright, if you want to challenge me, I’ll oblige."

After the battle at the post station, Qin An had already planned that when he fought those experts, he would leave their weapons behind.

He intended to use this pile of weapons to deter some idle challengers, so he could have a bit of peace before meeting the emperor.

But Qin An was well aware that relying on just these weapons would not deter true experts.

So he needed an expert to challenge him.

Once those experts came to challenge him, he could then firmly establish his reputation, making other experts think twice before deciding to act.

Now with Man Shanyue stepping forward, he naturally provided him with this opportunity.

Yu Feng thought for a moment, pulled his horse back two steps.

If Qin An needed his help, he would act anytime.

But on the way here, Qin An had already said he didn’t need him to intervene in this matter.

Yu Feng, naturally astute, didn’t step forward to assist at this time.

Qin An stepped forward slowly, stopping not far from Man Shanyue, drawing Cold Star from his waist.

Man Shanyue clenched his fists, the light in his eyes becoming more intense, like a volcano about to erupt.

But he did not immediately attack, instead, he raised his hand in salute.

"Baiman Mountain excels in the method of tempering the body, all its power lies in the technique of horizontal training. It can split mountains and crush stones, overturn rivers and seas. Mr. Qin, be careful."

He spoke directly, without hesitation, revealing Baiman Mountain’s heritage.

His purpose was to defeat Qin An in an open and honest manner.

Qin An drew Cold Star, holding it in his hand, allowing it to hang at an angle towards the ground.

"What I’m good at, you probably all know."

"Before coming to challenge me, you must have looked into my details. There’s no need for me to say more, go ahead."

Man Shanyue laughed heartily at these words, saying no more, then stepped forward.

The battle broke out in an instant.

As Man Shanyue stepped forward, the aura around him suddenly became incredibly thick.

If you feel closely, you will find that this extremely wild aura was all emanating from Man Shanyue, pressing on the heart, making it hard to meet his gaze.

After taking this step, Man Shanyue launched himself like a human cannonball, filled with ferocious power, charging towards Qin An.

Baiman Mountain trains the body, renowned for its horizontal training technique.

Once trained to the extreme, every inch of muscle on their body turns into the most terrifying Power of Slaughter.

Therefore, any part of their body contains strong Power of Attack.

Qin An felt a strong gust approaching, slightly narrowing his eyes.

"As expected, Xuanjing City is truly filled with experts."

Man Shanyue’s offensive was stronger than any enemy he had encountered on the Celestial Cloud Path.

But now that Qin An had reached the Unity Realm, he calmly raised Cold Star in the face of such an attack.

The blade was infused with the invisible, colorless Void Essence, alongside the terrifying aura of virtual reincarnation and killing intent.

With a single slash, the sound of roaring winds arose.

The fierce wind swept across the land, causing the onlookers to take a collective step back.

If you look closely, you will notice that besides these accumulated forces, there was even hidden Origin Power within Qin An’s long blade.

With a single slash, the heavens and earth were startled.

The onlookers gasped in amazement.

"Such a complex Blade Skill, the power contained within is top-notch."

"Power of Reincarnation, killing intent, and Origin, as well as that invisible, colorless Void Essence – from whom exactly did he learn this strike?"

"If it were me, I probably couldn’t block it."

"Luckily I didn’t recklessly step forward to challenge him, but Man Shanyue should be able to take it, right?"

As they discussed, Man Shanyue was already close by.

His intention was to use his shoulder to knock Qin An away, wanting to determine victory in one move.

But when Qin An swung this slash, Man Shanyue felt an extremely terrifying pressure coming at him.

He knew that if he really used his shoulder against Qin An’s straight blade, he would probably lose in an instant.

This was a kind of intuition, and Man Shanyue, known for his extensive combat experience, having gone through many battles in his life, trusted his intuition very much.

Man Shanyue moved his feet nimbly, raising his fists, exerting the horizontal training power to its extreme, punching hard at Qin An’s straight blade.

A terrifying explosive sound echoed.

The aftermath swept across the ground, gradually enveloping the silhouettes of the two in smoke and dust.

Qin An felt a tremendous counterforce coming from the blade.
