No wonder he had been using grappling techniques...

When the dart shot out from Wu Li’s sleeve, Long Yu’s mind flashed with this thought.

From the start of their fight, Wu Li had been using grappling techniques, which at first Long Yu thought was in response to his own Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands—indeed, it effectively countered them.

But now it seemed that countering the Teacher’s Three Bowing Hands was only the first layer; the true, hidden second layer was to use a Hidden Weapon. For the maximum effectiveness of a Hidden Weapon, one must be close to the target, and Wu Li chose grappling to naturally close the distance between himself and Long Yu.

Furthermore, Wu Li had placed his darts in an obvious location from the beginning, which was also a deft move. It caught Long Yu’s attention, and the two even had a verbal exchange about it. While Long Yu reminded himself to be wary of Wu Li’s darts, his focus was mainly on those that Wu Li wore openly, never considering that Wu Li might have others hidden on his person.

After all, Wu Li was always known for his straightforward and overbearing style—a Xingyi Master, no less. Him suddenly using a Hidden Weapon, and in such a manner, was truly unforeseen.

All these were the precursors laid out by "Dark Fragrance," but what truly troubled Long Yu was the lethality of the move "Dark Fragrance" itself:

The essence of a Hidden Weapon lies in a sneak attack, and besides diverting the opponent’s attention, the quieter it is, the better. Ideally, the Hidden Weapon should be released in the most natural gesture possible during movement, catching the opponent completely off guard. In this aspect, Wu Li’s move "Dark Fragrance" was close to perfection!

Combining Big Spear Power with Dragon and Snake Wave, a right arm thrust forward, was a classic response to close combat grappling in Xingyi Fist. Even using Innate Gang Qi was only to enhance power, which posed no issue—it was an utterly normal technique to strike with force. Wu Li’s intended point of impact for both the killing intent and the Fist Intent was clear and obvious, so Long Yu had no suspicion. He was taken aback when the dart appeared.

Just a minute before, Long Yu had mentioned that at their level, sneak attacks had lost their significance, for even a single glance from afar through a forest could be sensed, let alone a sneak attack. But now, Wu Li demonstrated by action that even a Grandmaster could execute a sneak attack!

In approximately 0.1 seconds, Wu Li’s dart had already touched Long Yu’s garment.
