Night fell. Within a desolate forest in the city's eastern suburbs.
Yi Beidou and Yue Ming stood facing each other.
Not long ago, Yi Beidou had run into Tao Zihong of Maoshan. They had exchanged greetings and parted ways, agreeing to visit each other's research institutes in Kyoto when they had the time. They hadn't sparred.
After all, they had fought several times back on Cloud Prison Mountain. Yi Beidou was already familiar with Tao Zihong's Array techniques, so there was no need for them to fight again.
Besides, Tao Zihong's focus wasn't solely on the Martial Arts Dao.
However, after parting with Tao Zihong, he encountered Yue Ming, who challenged him to a rematch.
Apparently, Yue Ming was not convinced of his defeat back at the Yunhai Province border, where Yi Beidou had forced him to retreat with a single move.
He believed he had only lost due to carelessness and hadn't used his true techniques.
