Dongye quickly dodged, and Ling Tian'ao sent another palm strike his way, which Dongye caught steadily with his hand.
Ling Tian'ao snorted coldly and attacked again, sidestepping with a leap, aiming his palm at Dongye's neck, trying to hit a vital spot.
Dongye crouched to dodge and lashed out with a kick.
Ling Tian'ao somersaulted in mid-air and landed safely, avoiding the kick while sending one flying back.
Dongye raised his hand to block.
Ling Tian'ao's foot met his palm, and he kicked fiercely.
Dongye staggered back a step, then dodged behind Ling Tian'ao, delivering a palm strike to Ling Tian'ao's shoulder.
Ling Tian'ao also staggered.
One attacked while the other defended, countering the other's fierce assault.
Both were equally skilled with extremely fast and aggressive moves.
Guard Qiu Kuo, Dongye Runyi's guard, stood by with his gun cocked, ready to strike at any moment.
