Chen Fan's Azure Flame was not his greatest trump card.
But a trump card is only a trump card if it's useful.
In theory, the Azure Flame should be useful.
The Azure Flame's enhancement to combat was simply too great.
"Take this!"
Chen Fan didn't have any particularly special moves.
He simply infused each of his moves with the power of the Azure Flame.
This was completely different from before.
Previously, Fang Qinchu could use the techniques Xu Fengqiu had taught her to break his moves.
But with the power of the Azure Flame, those techniques were no longer as effective.
The power granted by the Azure Flame was simply too formidable.
Yet, Fang Qinchu remained unfazed.
Because she had a way to deal with the Azure Flame.
Chen Fan's strength lay in his diverse arsenal of techniques, each a powerful tool for cross-level combat. Combined with his personal abilities, his capacity for cross-level combat and ending battles was very strong.
For Fang Qinchu, she possessed some of these techniques, but certainly not to the same extent as Chen Fan.
What she needed to do was leverage her superior cultivation realm to break down Chen Fan's moves.
When Chen Fan's various techniques became useless, that would be when he would fail.
Fang Qinchu looked at Chen Fan, who was charging towards her with overwhelming momentum.
"The Azure Flame, its power is extremely violent, a powerful force for cross-level combat. But the way to deal with the Azure Flame is actually very simple, many people can think of it, but it's not so easy to actually do it."
Fang Qinchu recalled Xu Fengqiu's words in her mind.
"The Azure Flame's violence needs to be countered with the gentleness of water, but the water in this world that can counter the Azure Flame's violence is too rare."
Fang Qinchu activated her cultivation technique.
Coincidentally, she possessed water that could counter the Azure Flame's violence.
In theory, this power might not be enough.
But when Xu Fengqiu learned about it, what shocked Fang Qinchu was that, in a short period of time, with Xu Fengqiu's help, her power had actually improved somewhat.
Azure Wave Art!
It just so happened that this Azure Wave Art was a technique Fang Qinchu had obtained during her travels.
Its power was the gentleness of water.
This power could be gentle if needed, but at the same time, water could also be a tsunami.
Theoretically, if it weren't for Xu Fengqiu, Fang Qinchu would not have been able to use this move to fight Chen Fan.
Moreover, the strength of her technique was not sufficient at the time.
Whoosh—
Fang Qinchu rushed forward.
The two's powers collided once again.
"What?"
As soon as their powers collided, Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.
The power of his Azure Flame was actually being weakened by Fang Qinchu's power.
What did it feel like?
It was as if his powerful punch had landed on cotton.
The power was diluted a great deal.
Why did she just happen to have this kind of technique?
Chen Fan refused to believe it.
Subsequently, the two's nimble attacks never stopped, constantly interweaving and flashing.
However, no matter how hard Chen Fan tried, the end result was that he just couldn't do anything to Fang Qinchu.
In terms of actual combat ability, Chen Fan was indeed stronger than Fang Qinchu.
However, he wasn't strong enough to the point where he could defeat Fang Qinchu.
Moreover, with Xu Fengqiu's help, Chen Fan couldn't gain any advantage in certain aspects of combat.
The Azure Flame's power was also being countered, which meant that Chen Fan had released the Azure Flame in vain.
At the same time, forcibly releasing the Azure Flame would consume even more of his spiritual energy.
Chen Fan opened the distance.
He frowned and stared at Fang Qinchu in front of him.
Why?
Why was this happening?
Was it just a coincidence that the powers Fang Qinchu had learned had a slight countering effect on him?
If not that, what else could it be?
She couldn't possibly know all of his techniques in advance, right?
That was absolutely impossible.
Besides himself, there was no such person in this world.
It was all a coincidence.
As they fought, Chen Fan still couldn't gain the upper hand.
"Why is he fighting so laboriously?"
"That's right, logically speaking, Chen Fan shouldn't be in this situation after taking out the Azure Flame."
"Azure Flame, that's a top-tier treasure of heaven and earth. To be honest, this treasure can indeed provide Chen Fan with extremely powerful combat power. He did get the combat power, but Fang Qinchu doesn't seem to be afraid of it."
"Then it seems to be the technique Fang Qinchu is releasing. Is it because water counters fire? But that shouldn't be possible, this is the Azure Flame."
"… …"
The crowd was also discussing animatedly.
To be honest, Chen Fan's mentality was a little off.
He had so many powerful techniques, yet he couldn't gain an advantage?
How could he remain calm?
He hadn't even thought he would need to use the Azure Flame before the fight.
However, now that he had used the Azure Flame, it was of no use at all.
This made him even more upset.
Fortunately, he still had other techniques. And many techniques.
Time slowly passed.
The various techniques Chen Fan took out were so powerful that they shocked some of the powerful spectators.
However, what equally shocked these powerhouses was Fang Qinchu.
Fang Qinchu actually countered each and every one of them.
Fang Qinchu didn't let Chen Fan gain any advantage.
"This Chen Fan is indeed not simple, somewhat beyond what this old man expected."
"The techniques he has taken out are truly astonishing."
"What's astonishing is not just Chen Fan, right? This Fang Qinchu of the Haotian Sect is equally astonishing, right? Although she hasn't taken out any particularly shocking techniques, she can actually counter all of Chen Fan's various techniques?"
"This is indeed too shocking, and at the same time, we can see how powerful this Haotian Sect's Fang Qinchu really is."
"Sect Leader Fang has given birth to a good daughter."
"… …"
To be honest, Fang Wenjian didn't understand either.
He had started to suspect it from the very beginning.
When did his daughter learn this sword technique?
Until later, Fang Qinchu also took out moves that even he, as a father, didn't know.
Fang Wenjian felt very unfamiliar.
What was the key?
He didn't even know how to deal with some of Chen Fan's powers. When Chen Fan took out these techniques, Fang Wenjian couldn't help but sweat, and didn't know what Fang Qinchu should do.
However, Fang Qinchu's next actions shocked him as a father.
When did his daughter learn these things?
How could she decipher Chen Fan's techniques?
Fang Wenjian had to attribute the reason to Xu Fengqiu.
Xu Fengqiu's medical skills were already heaven-defying.
However, his daughter had been staying with Xu Fengqiu for the past few days, which made Fang Wenjie suspect that some of Fang Qinchu's unfamiliar techniques today came from Xu Fengqiu.
Besides that, what other reason could there be?
"It seems that this Xu Fengqiu, besides his medical skills, is not that simple."
Fang Wenjian murmured in his heart.
