This was totally a performance, a show of the Guardian Deity Dance and the Dragon Guard.
Zhang Xiangyang's expression gradually turned from an initial worry to a smile. It wasn't that Qin Fen couldn't defeat his opponent but rather he was deliberately letting his opponent fully display the Guardian Deity Dance.
Could it be that he wanted to steal some techniques? Zhang Xiangyang found the idea a bit inconceivable. Whether it was movement techniques or other martial arts, these were all things that couldn't be understood merely by opening one's eyes wide and watching. It was pointless to watch as one lacked the key in circulating energy for the technique.
However, Shadows of the Guardian Deity Dance had already begun to gradually appear within Qin Fen's Dragon Guard. His footwork also started to show signs of the footwork used in the Guardian Deity Dance.
