The three Great Emperors, with their intricate minds, feigned defeat at the hands of Yuan Hong and sat back to watch the tiger fight, observing Yuan Hong and the Great Emperor Qinghua clash fiercely.
Great Emperor Qinghua had truly undertaken a grueling retreat after his return. From the very first exchange, Yuan Hong felt a significant difference. His swordsmanship was much sharper than before, and it no longer contained the flamboyant moves of the past. Although the sword forms were ugly, each strike targeted Yuan Hong's vital points, threatening to kill him instantly if he was not careful.
Yuan Hong sneered, "A defeated underling, no matter how hard you train, it's futile!"
