"Okay, I agree. I will not get back at your sisters even if they annoy me. But I will accept such a condition only if you can beat me", Zhan Chen spoke.
"No one would have annoyed you if they know your status as a core disciple. You should have introduced yourself when sister lan fen called you for the first time", Hu Daiyu spoke. She was still blaming Zhan Chen for the unpleasant event that happened earlier.
"There is no point in blaming eachother. We should decide the result by our fist. If I lose, I am wrong. If You lose, then you are wrong. It is as simple as that", Zhan Chen replied.
"Okay, let's start our fight then. You need to be fully prepared. Otherwise, the sect elders will blame me for bullying a core disciple", Hu Daiyu spoke. Her face was brimming with confidence and battle eagerness as she looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Senior, shall we start the battle?", Zhan Chen asked the emperor for his permission. The emperor nodded his head and the battle between him and Hu Daiyu started.
"Can anyone give me a sword?", Zhan Chen turned to look towards the spectators after the emperor gave his permission. A late core condensation realm young man stepped out and gave his sword to Zhan Chen.
"Senior brother Zhan Chen, I am Lu Han. You can look for me if you want any work to be done", the young man introduced himself.
"Lu Han, thank you. We will talk after the battle is over", Zhan Chen spoke. Hu Daiyu was already getting impatient after the permission from the emperor. She attacked immediately after Zhan Chen sent away the young man.
She swung her stick and a whirlwind like energy wave crashed towards Zhan Chen. Her attack was rapid. So, Zhan Chen didn't get any time to dodge. He slashed with his sword and met her attack head-on.
The intensity of the attack was great and Zhan Chen had to take few steps back to negate the force. A little interest rose in his heart after he experienced the attack of Hu Daiyu.
Hu Daiyu was in no mood to give any respite to Zhan Chen. She followed immediately with another attack and a bigger energy projectile came crashing towards Zhan Chen.
This time Zhan Chen was prepared. He dodged swiftly and swung his sword. A horizontal energy wave materialized in the air and went flying towards Hu Daiyu.
She was taken aback by the speed of Zhan Chen's attack. She hurriedly swung her stick and collided with Zhan Chen's attack.
She could easily manage to defend herself but an attack immediately followed after the first attack. Zhan Chen launched five sharp looking energy swords towards Hu Daiyu at the same time.
Hu Daiyu swung her stick vigorously and met with all the five attacks head on. An attack managed to sneak through her stick but it couldn't injure her body. The energy attack collided with an invisible layer and dispersed before it could touch her skin.
"Interesting. She do not have an innate earth body but she can still able to manipulate earth energy to such extent', Zhan Chen thought to himself. He launched several more attacks to check the sturdiness of her defence.
------------------
The fight between Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu attracted a huge number of spectators. Almost everyone from the martial peak came out from their cultivation caves and gathered at the bottom of the martial peak.
Few elders who were not in seclusion at this moment also came out and joined the emperor in the sky to witness the battle between Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu.
"Senior brother Lai, what do you think? Can this Zhan Chen penetrate the armour of Hu Daiyu?", an elder looked towards the old man standing next to him. There was a curious look on his face as he observed the battle between Zhan Chen and Hu Daiyu.
"I can't predict the result but it is more likely that Hu Daiyu will win. Zhan Chen is talented and you can already tell why he is a core disciple at his age. But even his talent can't breach the gap between his cultivation and Hu Daiyu's", the old man replied.
Hu Daiyu was feeling annoyed as her attacks didn't manage to do anything against Zhan Chen. Instead, it was Zhan Chen who was pestering her repeatedly with numerous attacks.
"Zhan Chen, I am going to use one of the most powerful technique of my tribe. If I can't defeat you even after the attack, then I will admit my lose", Hu Daiyu spoke.
She let go of her stick and closed her eyes. Zhan Chen didn't stop her because he wanted to see the full extent of her capability. She did few hand seals and an elemental fluctuation came from the surrounding. She brought together both of her palm and made a praying gesture.
Elemental fluctuation became rapid when she brought both of her palm together. Yellowish elemental energy gathered infront of her and materialized into a huge yellowish palm.
The expression on the face of the emperor changed immediately as soon as he saw the slowly materialized palm. He decided to intervene immediately because he knew how powerful the technique of the stone tribe was.
"Zhan Chen, withdraw", he commanded from the sky.
"Senior, don't worry. I will be fine. I want to see her full capabilily before ending our battle", Zhan Chen replied. He had a confident expression on his face as he looked towards the emperor.
The emperor hesitated for a moment because Zhan Chen was a core disciple of the sect. If anything unfortunate happened to him, then the martial peak would scold him for his negligence.
"Zhan Chen, I will intervene if you don't have a definite reply for this technique", the emperor spoke with a solemn voice.
"Senior, rest assure", Zhan Chen replied and focused his attention on the slowly materialized palm. Hu Daniyu took few long minutes but managed to cast her technique completely.
She warned Zhan Chen before pushing her hands towards Zhan Chen's direction. The materialized energy palm followed her direction and came crashing towards Zhan Chen. There was a palpipable pressure came from the palm which affected the surrounding spectators.
The emperor was completely ready to pull Zhan Chen out when Zhan Chen moved. He resisted the pressure of the palm and used the Wind Chasing technique.
He had already left the place just before the palm crashed on the ground. No one except the emperor could keep up with his speed as he appeared near Hu Daniyu.
The gigantic palm fell upon the ground and a loud rumble came out as a result. Few of the spectators were blown into the air as they couldn't resist the impact of the technique. The elders immediately went into action and stabilized the situation on the ground. Dust settles after few moments and everyone could see a gigantic palm print on the ground.
"Where is Zhan Chen?", spectators felt baffled after not seeing Zhan Chen near the palm print. Few looked towards Hu Daniyu and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces. It was because Zhan Chen had somehow escaped unscathed and now standing beside Hu Daniyu. He had a calm expression on his face as he watched the palm print along with other spectators.
"I have lost", Hu Daniyu declared suddenly. She turned to look towards Zhan Chen with a sincere expression on her face.
