The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 170 The Faceless Man! Another Fool?

Looking at Nangong Muyu's incredibly sincere expression, Lu Yan was momentarily speechless.

Most extraordinary individuals in the world are desperately cultivating and vying for resources, all in order to forge their own invincible path. But Nangong Muyu is different; she goes against the grain and actively seeks out a defeat.

This mindset is indeed somewhat similar to that of the legendary Dugu Qiubai.

Despite his complaints, Lu Yan could see clearly that Nangong Muyu wasn't just putting on an act; she genuinely craved a satisfying defeat.

Because it is too strong, it cannot fail.

They crave to be stronger, therefore they thirst for defeat!

"Wow, that's incredibly confident!"

Lu Yan shook his head and chuckled. This guy really wasn't worried at all about being defeated by failure and unable to get out of the shadows.

But then I thought, how could a strong person who has never experienced failure be afraid of such a thing?

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's fighting spirit intensified, and he finally gave his answer.

"So, can we begin?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Muyu's smile instantly became even brighter, even somewhat exaggerated. Her eyebrows curved, and her mouth stretched to her ears, making her look like a clown in a circus, yet she couldn't hide the fervent fighting spirit in her eyes.

The moment the signal to start the match pierced the air, Lu Yan's figure vanished abruptly, only to reappear at the other end of the fighting arena a second later.

Where he had just been standing, several playing cards with strange patterns suddenly appeared and were deeply embedded in the ground.

Before anyone could react, Lu Yan teleported again, and the playing cards, like a persistent leech, followed closely behind, hurtling towards his back with a sharp whooshing sound.

Throughout the entire process, Nangong Muyu remained standing still, making no move whatsoever, simply maintaining that exaggerated smile, her eyes fixed on Lu Yan's figure.

"No, did any of you see Nangong Muyu's movements clearly?"

Shen Xi stared wide-eyed, channeling all her mental energy, desperately trying to capture Nangong Muyu's movements, but all she could see were blurry afterimages, unable to discern the whole picture.

"Look, isn't it clear to everyone?"

Chen Qi gestured towards the field with his lip, his tone full of helplessness.

"Those two beasts never used their full strength when they fought us before."

The people in the golden seats fell silent, each with an undisguised look of frustration on their faces.

Although many of them had been defeated by Lu Yan in one move, witnessing the true combat power of the two men firsthand made them realize the vast difference in strength between them, and their sense of loss grew stronger.

"Stay calm, you'll get used to it."

Chen Qi glanced at Bai Xiao beside him, whose eyes had turned into eagle eyes and were staring intently at the arena. He took a deep drag on his pipe, exhaling the smoke slowly, his tone full of the vicissitudes of a veteran.

"I recognized the gap between us a long time ago, so I couldn't be bothered to challenge those three beasts. Now there's one more."

Meanwhile, the battle in the fighting arena has reached a fever pitch.

With the powerful insight of the Dragon King's Eye, Lu Yan captured every detail in the fighting arena, nimbly dodging the playing cards controlled by Nangong Muyu.

He could clearly sense that Nangong Muyu was using ordinary playing cards, but they were infused with powerful supernatural energy, making them as destructive as rare artifacts. If it were an ordinary Sequence 6 superhuman, they would probably have been defeated long ago.

"The No.1 spot on the gold list truly lives up to its name."

Looking at Nangong Muyu, whose smile was becoming increasingly exaggerated, Lu Yan couldn't help but smile with a hint of fighting spirit.

Indeed, only a worthy opponent can deliver a truly exhilarating battle.

The next instant, Lu Yan suddenly stopped his teleportation. He clenched his right hand, and the Golden Sword Piercing Armor instantly appeared in his palm. With a flash of sword light, a sharp sword aura swept out, instantly cutting the playing cards that followed into tiny pieces of paper, which fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Nangong Muyu showed no surprise. Her hand movements suddenly changed, and she bent her hands into a shooting shape, aiming her fingertips at Lu Yan. A hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

In an instant, countless air bullets imbued with extraordinary power erupted from his fingertips, raining down on Lu Yan like a storm, so dense that they almost completely blocked all of Lu Yan's space to dodge.

However, Lu Yan showed no intention of dodging. He pushed off the ground with both feet and rushed towards Nangong Muyu at high speed, while wielding his armor-piercing sword.

The sword light was like a tapestry, shattering all the incoming air bullets. Each strike was precise and swift, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Nangong Muyu continued her air blast attack without stopping, but quickly retreated, desperately widening the distance between herself and Lu Yan.

In an instant, the balance of power between the two shifted. Nangong Muyu, who had initially launched a surprise attack, became the defender, while Lu Yan pressed forward relentlessly, seizing control of the battle.

But the chase didn't last long. Even though Nangong Muyu tried her best to dodge, Lu Yan gradually closed the distance.

A dazzling golden sword energy burst forth from the tip of the armor-piercing sword, breaking through the obstruction of countless air bullets, and arrived in front of Nangong Muyu in an instant with fierce power.

Before Nangong Muyu could make any defensive move, Lu Yan had already teleported in front of him and slashed heavily at his chest with his sword.

"Wow, that's really fast!"

Looking at Lu Yan's unstoppable sword strike, Nangong Muyu showed an exaggerated expression of amazement, but there was no panic in her eyes, instead, there was a hint of anticipation.

With a sharp "rip" sound, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The wound that should have appeared on Nangong Muyu's chest suddenly moved to Lu Yan's back, leaving a long gash on his clothes.

In contrast, Nangong Muyu was not only unharmed, but her figure also transformed into a dazzling firework, disappearing from the spot in an instant and reappearing a few meters away the next second.

"Damage transfer?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.

This ability is somewhat similar to the defensive characteristics of the Guardian, but it is even more outrageous than the Guardian's ability.

Fortunately, this level of damage transfer was not enough to break through his defenses.

Lu Yan raised his hand and tore off his tattered coat, casually tossing it aside, revealing the Natural Protection hidden beneath the clothes, gleaming with a faint green light. That tough barrier firmly protected him within.

Nangong Muyu stood unharmed to the side, looking at Lu Yan with a surprised and delighted gaze, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"Such superb swordsmanship, such formidable defense! Perhaps you truly can inflict upon me a defeat I'll never forget!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly took off his top hat, fiddled with it under the brim, and said with a mysterious smile, "To show my respect, I'll respond with my swordsmanship too."

As he spoke, he pulled a golden longsword from his top hat. The blade shimmered with light, and its design was seven or eight parts similar to the armor-piercing sword in Lu Yan's hand, exuding the same sharp aura.

"Let me think...it seems like it's like this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Muyu raised her hand and swung her sword. A golden sword energy, exactly the same as Lu Yan's, burst forth, carrying a sharp and powerful aura, and went straight for Lu Yan's face.

"You can even mimic my abilities?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yan's eyes. He casually swung his sword, shattering the sword energy. Then, he stopped passively defending and charged towards Nangong Muyu. His sword light was sharp and each move was deadly.

Nangong Muyu was not afraid at all. She swung her sword to meet the attack. The golden sword light intertwined with Lu Yan's sword shadow. She fought Lu Yan back and forth and was not at a disadvantage at all.

Moreover, as the battle continued, Lu Yan gradually discovered that Nangong Muyu's sword movements, footwork, and even the way she exerted force were constantly becoming similar to his own.

Even more outrageous is that not only her movements, but also Nangong Muyu's appearance and voice are gradually becoming exactly the same as hers.

Seeing this, Lu Yan frowned slightly, flipped his wrist, and took out the Moon Shadow Dagger, attacking along with the Armor Piercer.

Its armor-piercing power was fierce, and the moon's shadow flickered.

Two weapons with completely different styles were perfectly combined in Lu Yan's hands, and he launched an attack on Nangong Muyu at the same time.

But Nangong Muyu was not afraid at all, and actually took out a dagger and imitated Lu Yan's actions to fight back.

In a daze, it seemed as if two Lu Yans appeared in the fighting arena, both wielding longswords and daggers, with identical moves, which made the crowd even more confused, and discussions arose one after another.

"This guy is still as disgusting as ever."

In the prime seat, Bai Xiao wore an expression of "I knew it," but as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, and his face instantly turned ugly.

He had been disgusted by Nangong Muyu's move before.

During their duel, Nangong Muyu not only imitated his abilities but also his aura, almost "stealing" his summoned beasts. Even now, he still feels a bit uncomfortable thinking about it.

This ability to mimic other people's aura, appearance, and even supernatural abilities is just too overpowered!

"No wonder even Xiao Yiren couldn't surpass Nangong Muyu; this ability alone is enough."

The others gasped in disbelief, especially Shen Xi, who was genuinely envious.

Although a fire thief can also gain the other's abilities, it is only a temporary transfer, and they must also consider whether they can handle it.

But Nangong Muyu is completely different; as long as she has enough comprehension, she can imitate endlessly.

This kind of imitation is not a one-time thing, but a permanent mastery!

It can be said that as long as Nangong Muyu is given enough time, his combat ability will become stronger and stronger!

"The Fool's Path, Sequence 6, The Faceless Man!"

From below the stage, Nangong Muyu took the initiative to speak, introducing her abilities with a hint of provocation in her tone and her eyes fixed intently on Lu Yan.

"So, what new skills do you have that I can learn?"

"A fool?"

Upon hearing this familiar name, Lu Yan paused in his actions, a hint of doubt rising in his mind.

Why is it that lately, wherever he goes, he always seems to encounter something related to fools?

Is all of this really just a coincidence?
