Chapter 651 - Zhu Mengyi's New Technique

*Slurp* *Slurp* *Slurp*

Wu Jingjing rocked her neck back and forth in a gentle yet intense motion, sucking on Su Yang's meatstick with passion and her eyes filled with hearts.

"Mmm…"

While Wu Jingjing skillfully worked the blade of the sword with her mouth, Zhu Mengyi used her tongue to massage the area below, gently licking his sack of jewels.

"Hmm… the two of you have gotten much better at using your mouth than before. You must have practiced a lot on each other," Su Yang spoke with a smile on his face.

"We cultivated with each other nearly every day before we gave birth," Zhu Mengyi responded. "However, we barely do it nowadays, as we are too busy with our daughter, and chances like this are rare."

A few more minutes later, Su Yang said to Wu Jingjing who had been working hard to please him, "It's my turn to feed you my milk— get ready."

"Un!"

Wu Jingjing nodded before shoving his entire shaft deep down her throat and patiently waited for the eruption.

A few seconds later, the volcano erupted, and hot Yang Qi exploded from Su Yang's mountain, gushing directly into Wu Jingjing's mouth and down her throat.

"Mmmmmm!"

Wu Jingjing's eyes widened with surprise as the volume of Yang Qi was much more than she'd anticipated. However, she tried her best to not block the passage in her throat and allowed everything to flow into her stomach, feeling as though she was drinking water without any swallowing motions.

Sometime later, Wu Jingjing removed her mouth from Su Yang's meatstick and spoke with a s.e.xy smile, "I'm so full it feels like I am pregnant again…"

Su Yang chuckled at her words and said, "If you want another child, I will gladly assist."

"I will keep that in mind for the future when I am more experienced as a mother, as I am already overwhelmed by one child…" Wu Jingjing said.

"It's my turn to taste your milk, Su Yang!" Zhu Mengyi suddenly wrapped her mouth around his shaft and began sucking it with the intent of squeezing everything out.

Seeing her aggressiveness, Su Yang was reminded of his time with her inside the cauldron room, where they cultivated with each other for days with barely any breaks in-between.

After sucking for a few minutes, Zhu Mengyi suddenly stopped and said to him, "I'm going to try something new, Su Yang. Don't be scared if you've never experienced it before."

"Hahaha! Scared? Me? And I highly doubt whatever you're about to do will become a new experience for me," Su Yang laughed loudly.

"We'll see…" Zhu Mengyi grinned mysteriously for a brief moment before continuing to suck on Su Yang's shaft.

'What is she going to do?' Wu Jingjing wondered as she stared at Zhu Mengyi intensively.

A few moments later, Zhu Mengyi placed her hands right beneath Su Yang's sack of jewels before she suddenly—

"Ah?! What are you doing, Sister Mengyi!?" Wu Jingjing cried out in a shocked voice when Zhu Mengyi suddenly summoned her Azure Alchemy Flames and wrapped them around Su Yang's sack of jewels as though it was a cauldron.

"Calm down, Sister Jingjing. It won't hurt him," Zhu Mengyi said to her.

"What do you think, Su Yang? Have you ever had your balls warmed by Alchemy Flames? And does it feel good?" she asked him afterward.

"Hmmm…" Su Yang pondered with closed eyes, looking as though he was trying to judge her techniques.

"It's quite clever of you to use your Alchemy Flames in such a manner, but unfortunately for you, it's not my first time experiencing this. With that being said, your control over the temperature and flames is pretty good, and it feels good overall. I can tell that you've continued to work hard even after I left."

"Eh? I'm not the first one who has thought of this? Who else would have thought of using their Alchemy Flames in such a scandalous manner?" Zhu Mengyi asked him in a slightly surprised and disappointed voice.

"Many Alchemists I have cultivated with in my previous life would start using their Alchemy Flames to please me after our second or third time together," he said to her.

"No way…" Zhu Mengyi mumbled.

"As I have said— there is almost nothing I haven't already tried before after living for thousands of years. If you somehow manage to give me a 'new' experience, I'll reward you."

"Really? What kind of reward?"

"It wouldn't be any fun if you knew," Su Yang said with a smile.

Zhu Mengyi nodded with a serious and resolved expression.

She returned to slurping his meatstick with her mouth shortly later and continued to use her Alchemy Flames to massage his jewels.

A few minutes later, Su Yang's volcano erupted again, shooting his white lava into Zhu Mengyi's mouth.

"Mmmm…" Zhu Mengyi closed her eyes so she could fully enjoy this moment and savor the thick liquid before swallowing it without hesitation.

'Ahhh… I have been longing for this sweetness and stickiness in my mouth ever since I first tasted it…' Zhu Mengyi thought to herself, feeling incredibly satisfied.

Once Su Yang removed his meatstick from her mouth, Zhu Mengyi opened her mouth and showed him the small white lake in her mouth for a brief moment before swallowing everything in one motion.

"Ahhh… so tasty…" Zhu Mengyi sighed in a blissful voice and with an enchanting expression on her beautiful face.

When Su Yang saw her amazing expression, his sword trembled before stiffening even more.

He then grabbed Zhu Mengyi by her shoulders and gently laid her on the bed. Seeing the eagerness in Su Yang's eyes, Zhu Mengyi chuckled to herself before spreading her legs wide open for him, revealing to him her wet slit.

Su Yang rubbed his steel-like rod against her pink slit for a good moment before inserting it into the wet hole.

"Ahhhh~!" Zhu Mengyi m.o.a.ned loudly as her inner walls were spread wide open by the monster serpent that invaded her cave, feeling as though she'd entered heaven.

Chapter 652 - Flaming Dragon

"Ahhh! Ahhhh! Aaaaaah~!"

Feeling Su Yang's meatstick in her hole again, all of the stress that had been built up for the past year was instantly satisfied, and Zhu Mengyi felt complete again.

"You are as tight as ever— if not even tighter than before. Are you sure you gave birth not long ago?" Su Yang spoke with a smile on his face as his shaft was being tightly squeezed by Zhu Mengyi's hole.

"That's because it's been starving for over a year, Su Yang. Do you like it?"

"Yes, I love it."

Su Yang suddenly began moving his h.i.p.s even faster and Zhu Mengyi m.o.a.ned louder in response, feeling her lower body burning with passion.

After pounding her from the font for a few minutes, Su Yang flipped Zhu Mengyi around and continued in the d.o.g.g.y position.

"Let me see what the two of you usually do," Su Yang suddenly said to them.

Wu Jingjing immediately understood the meaning behind his words and laid in front of Zhu Mengyi with her legs spread wide open.

"Go ahead, Sister Mingyi."

Zhu Mengyi nodded her head and approached Wu Jingjing's pink slit with her tongue sticking out.

"Aaaah~!" Wu Jingjing m.o.a.ned softly when Zhu Mengyi's tongue began tickling her pink pearl.

"That's it, Sister Mengyi! Lick it harder!" Wu Jingjing closed her eyes to focus on the delightful feeling between her legs, and she even began massaging her own b.r.e.a.s.ts.

Meanwhile, Su Yang enjoyed the view from behind Zhu Mengyi with his hands tightly gripping onto her soft buttocks.

Many minutes later, Su Yang said to Zhu Mengyi, "I am going to brand you with Family Seal now; it'll feel a little bit hotter than usual."

"Please, make me your woman officially, Su Yang!" Zhu Mengyi prepared herself.

A few seconds later, Su Yang released his load into Zhu Mengyi's body, overflowing her hole with his Yang Qi.

"So hot~!" Zhu Mengyi m.o.a.ned loudly, feeling as though her entire body was burning in a fire, especially the area below her stomach. However, despite the intense heat, it was not painful at all, even feeling somewhat pleasant.

Su Yang removed his shaft from Zhu Mengyi's hole once the Family Seal appeared on her body.

"This is the Family Seal? I have never seen anything like this before," Wu Jingjing caressed the Family Seal on Zhu Mengyi's body with a dazed gaze, looking mesmerized.

"I still need to activate it with my blood, but I'll do it once you both have the Family Seal on you," Su Yang said to them.

"Are you ready?" He looked at Wu Jingjing.

"Yes!"

She nodded with a serious and eager expression on her face.

And without further ado, Su Yang inserted his shaft into her hole.

"Aaaaaah~!" Wu Jingjing m.o.a.ned sharply when she felt his stiff rod reach the deepest parts of her cave; it was a nostalgic feeling that caused her body to tremble with excitement, almost as though it instinctively knew the feeling of Su Yang's sword.

"More… do me harder, Su Yang!" Wu Jingjing pleaded with a s.e.xy expression on her face.

In response to her pleading, Su Yang firmly grabbed her slim waist and began thrusting his h.i.p.s intensively, almost violently.

"Aaaaah~!" As she was not prepared for such a passionate response, Wu Jingjing nearly collapsed from the intense pleasure, and her little sister gushed with Yin Qi every time Su Yang plunged his rod into her.

"Hehe… let me help you out, Sister Jingjing…" Seeing the opportunity to tease Wu Jingjing even further, Zhu Mengyi crawled to her body before she began sucking on her b.r.e.a.s.ts.

"Aaahh~!"

"Aaaaaaah~!"

"Aaahhhh~!"

Wu Jingjing m.o.a.ned crazily as Su Yang pounded her wet hole fiercely without stopping for many minutes, acting like a beast that hadn't have s.e.x in a long time.

Once Wu Jingjing was at her limit, Su Yang released his Yang Qi into her body, filling every nook and cranny in her cave with his white liquid.

"My body is burning! It feels so good!" Wu Jingjing exclaimed, feeling the Family Seal slowly appearing on her body.

A few moments later, she could see the Family Seal clearly imprinted onto her body.

"What a beautiful sight…" Wu Jingjing mumbled as she looked at Family Seal.

"Yes, a beautiful sight indeed." Su Yang nodded his head as he looked at the two n.a.k.e.d beauties before him, both with his Yang Qi leaking from their cave.

"Anyway, let me activate the seal."

Su Yang bit his thumb until it began bleeding. He then dripped a drop of his blood into their Family Seal, causing it to glow a golden light.

"Now you're officially my woman," Su Yang said as he licked the wound on his finger, instantly sealing it.

"I love you, Su Yang!" Zhu Mengyi suddenly pounced at him and kissed him on the lips passionately.

"Thank you for accepting us, Su Yang. I love you." Wu Jingjing kissed him next.

Sometime later, Su Yang asked them, "Do you want to continue?"

"Of course! We're going to do this until our children wake up!" Zhu Mengyi said.

Su Yang nodded, and he said to her, "Then allow me to show you a new technique."

"Oh? What are you going to do?" Zhu Mengyi stared at him with anticipating eyes.

Su Yang then stood up and snapped his fingers.

A second later—

Whoosh!

Alchemy Flames suddenly appeared and wrapped around his shaft, resembling a flaming sword.

"..."

Zhu Mengyi's jaw dropped to the floor after seeing this, her eyes as wide as saucers.

"Y-Y-You're going to stick that inside me…?" she asked him in a shaky voice.

"Do you not want me to? Then I'll give it to Wu Jingjing instead…"

"W-Wait a second! Who said anything about not wanting it?! I want it! Please give it to me!" Zhu Mengyi quickly said to him in a pleading voice.

Su Yang chuckled at her cute response and said, "Lay down— I'll give you a taste of this Flaming Dragon."

Chapter 653 - Dragon's Breath

*Gulp*

Zhu Mengyi swallowed nervously at the sight of the mighty flaming dragon between Su Yang's legs, looking like a dragon engulfed in fierce flames. She simply cannot imagine what would happen to her body if Su Yang were to stick that inside her body.

However, her curiosity and excitement for the unknown far surpassed her anxiousness and fear, creating a weird and indescribable feeling in her heart.

"I am going to stick it in you now," Su Yang warned her.

"Go ahead…" Zhu Mengyi nodded and stared at the flaming dragon that was slowly flying towards her cave with wide eyes, not daring to miss its entrance.

And right as the head of the flaming dragon reached the entrance to Zhu Mengyi's cave, Su Yang suddenly rammed his entire shaft into Zhu Mengyi's hole, taking her by surprise.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh~!"

Zhu Mengyi felt an indescribable mixed feeling of pleasure and pain that jolted her entire body with intense pleasure, causing her to m.o.a.n at the top of her lungs.

After penetrating Zhu Mengyi with his flaming dragon, Su Yang did not continue to move and instead silently stared Zhu Mengyi's face that looked extremely vulgar at this moment.

"What do you think?" He asked her with a confident smile on his face.

"It's… It's… I…" Zhu Mengyi was speechless, as she couldn't find any word to describe the pleasure she was feeling right now, or her mind was simply filled with so much pleasure that she couldn't think properly.

However, while Zhu Mengyi could not respond with words, her body had the perfect response for Su Yang's inquiry by gushing with Yin Qi without stopping, almost like a broken dam.

"Wow, there's so much coming out…" Even Wu Jingjing was amazed by the amount being released by Zhu Mengyi.

Of course, despite being drenched and soaking wet from her Yin Qi, Su Yang's meatstick remained burning with alchemy flames, even seemingly slightly fiercer than before, which only increased the pleasure felt by Zhu Mengyi.

A few moments later, once Zhu Mengyi's body stopped climaxing, Su Yang grabbed her waist and lifted her body slightly off the bed, and he began pounding her wet cave with his flaming dragon.

"Aaaaaah~!"

Zhu Mengyi's little sister immediately began flowing with Yin Qi again, and Su Yang could feel her inner walls becoming tighter and tighter with every thrust.

"Aaaah~!"

"Aaahhhhh!"

"Aaaaaahhhh~!"

Zhu Mengyi could feel a distinct burning sensation inside her body that greatly enhanced the feeling of pleasure she was receiving; it was so intense that it felt like she was a pill that was being cooked inside a cauldron.

However, no matter how hot her body burned, she did not feel the slightest pain the entire time, only feeling pleasure and satisfaction from it.

"Get ready, I am going to release it now," Su Yang suddenly said to her after many minutes of cultivation.

The next moment, Su Yang released his Yang Qi into her body. However, there was something different about his Yang Qi this time.

"I-It's burning! The Yang Qi is also burning with alchemy flames!" Wu Jingjing exclaimed in a shocked voice after witnessing this scene.

"That is a technique called 'Dragon's Breath'," Su Yang said with a proud-looking expression on his face. "Only those who have complete mastery over their alchemy flames would dare to infuse their Yang Qi with alchemy flames."

"Are there any benefits in doing that?" Wu Jingjing asked him.

"No, not really. It's really only meant to impress your partners. Of course, it also feels better than doing it normally," Su Yang said.

"Do you want to try it?" he then asked her.

"Y-Yes!" Wu Jingjing nodded, mostly because she didn't want to lose to Zhu Mengyi.

A few moments later, Wu Jingjing laid on the bed and Su Yang rubbed his shaft on her slit.

"This feels… amazing..." Wu Jingjing spoke in awe, and she was at a loss for words.

"If you think this feels good, just wait until I stick it inside…" Su Yang chuckled.

After rubbing on her pink jewel for some time, Su Yang suddenly inserted his flaming dragon into her cave, causing Wu Jingjing's body to jolt from shock.

"Aaaaah! This… This is…!"

Once his entire meatstick was inside her hole, Su Yang began thrusting his h.i.p.s, smacking her meat with his burning rod.

"Aaahh!"

"Aaaaaah!"

"Aaah!"

"Aaaah~!"

Wu Jingjing's entire body was quickly drenched in sweat from the burning sensation all over her body, feeling as though she'd been tossed into an oven, yet she did not want the feeling of pleasure to stop.

"More! Make me feel hotter! I want to melt in your embrace, Su Yang!" Wu Jingjing pleaded.

"Then let's see if you can endure this—"

Su Yang suddenly released his flaming Yang Qi into her cave, but he did not stop moving his h.i.p.s and continued to pound her cave that was engulfed in alchemy flames.

"!!!!!!!"

The feeling of pleasure was so intense that Wu Jingjing fell unconscious after experiencing it for only 10 seconds.

Seeing this, Su Yang unplugged his rod from her hole, and his flaming Yang Qi immediately flowed like a river from her cave.

"Let me clean that for you, Su Yang…" Zhu Mengyi crawled in front of his still flaming rod and began licking it without any hesitation.

"You can swallow the flaming Yang Qi if you want; it's completely safe," Su Yang said to her as she cleaned his rod.

Zhu Mengyi nodded, and she swallowed the burning Yang Qi, feeling a burning sensation flow down her throat, almost as though she was drinking strong alcohol.

"I'm so relieved and happy that you decided to return to us, Su Yang… I don't know how long I would've lasted without you…" Zhu Mengyi sighed afterward.

"And I won't leave you again— I promise." Su Yang said while gently caressing her smooth face.

"Un. I— We will follow you no matter where you go," Zhu Mengyi nodded with blissful tears falling down her face.

Chapter 654 - Is That Even Possible?

"How long have I been asleep…?" Wu Jingjing asked them after waking up sometime later.

"Not long. Only around fifteen minutes," Zhu Mengyi said to her.

"I see…" Wu Jingjing nodded before continuing, "I am going to wash my body before the children wake up."

"I will come with you," Zhu Mengyi said.

She then turned to look at Su Yang and asked him, "Do you also want to come?"

"How could I say no to that?" Su Yang followed them with a smile on his face.

Once they were in the bathroom, Zhu Mengyi and Wu Jingjing worked together to wash Su Yang's body, scrubbing every nook and cranny of his body.

Zhu Mengyi even used her b.r.e.a.s.ts to scrub his back, and when Wu Jingjing saw this, she started using her own b.r.e.a.s.ts to wash Su Yang in the front.

A few minutes later, both Zhu Mengyi and Wu Jingjing used their hands to clean his little brother.

And right as they finished cleaning Su Yang, the babies outside suddenly started crying.

"You two can stay here and continue cleaning yourselves— I will take care of the children," Su Yang said to them before quickly rinsing the soap off his body with water and leaving the bathroom.

"Thank you, Su Yang." They said to him.

Once Su Yang left the scene, Wu Jingjing and Zhu Mengyi took turns cleaning each other's bodies.

"I would dream of Su Yang returning to us almost every day after he left. I did not expect him to truly return to us, much less accepting us as his women." Wu Jingjing spoke with a warm smile on her face, her eyes filled with emotion.

"I know exactly how you feel, Sister Jingjing. I thought I would be fine raising a child by myself, but alas, after giving birth to Jiayi, I quickly realized how wrong I was and how difficult it was to raise a child without a father. I'm really relieved Su Yang returned to us, even willing to take us with him." Zhu Mengyi said as Wu Jingjing washed her body.

"How many women do you think are in the family?" Wu Jingjing suddenly asked her.

"I cannot even imagine. Not only is Su Yang incredibly handsome but he's also incredibly talented, especially his alchemy skills. If he wanted partners, I'm confident that most of the women in the Four Seasons Academy wouldn't mind becoming his wife," Zhu Mengyi spoke with a smile on her face.

"Alchemy? You should see his sword skills… If the female disciples at the Holy Sword Sect were to witness what I had experienced, they would literally wet themselves from shock and awe." Wu Jingjing said, recalling what she'd experienced inside Nine Spring Hall where she first met Su Yang.

"Honestly, I don't care how many women there are within the family as long as I am a part of it," Zhu Mengyi said a moment later.

"What a coincidence, Sister Mengyi. I also happen to have similar thoughts," Wu Jingjing smiled.

Sometime later, Wu Jingjing and Zhu Mengyi left the bathroom with a refreshed and clean feeling all over their body and returned to Su Yang's side.

Inside the babies' room, Su Yang casually stood there with both Wu Min and Zhu Jiayi calmly in his embrace.

"You are really good at this, Su Yang… How many children do you have back in your own world?" Zhu Mengyi asked him after seeing his calm demeanor when handling the babies.

"How many? Zero— At least none that I know of," he responded with a calm expression on his face.

"Huh? You don't have any children in your previous life? Is that even possible?" Wu Jingjing looked at him with wide eyes.

"I refused to have children because I had a lot of enemies in my previous life, and I feared that their lives might be affected negatively because of me. However, it's also possible that I might've accidentally i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed some of my partners without being aware of it, as I was not born with perfect control over my Yang Qi," Su Yang explained to them.

"D-Does this mean we… We are the first ones to bear your children? At least willingly?" Zhu Mengyi asked him in a trembling voice.

"That's right," he nodded. "You two are the first women I have willingly i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed."

Wu Jingjing and Zhu Mengyi turned to look at each other with overwhelming emotions in their eyes, causing them to tear up.

After wiping the tears from their eyes, Wu Jingjing and Zhu Mengyi suddenly kneeled on the floor and kowtowed to Su Yang.

"Thank you, Su Yang, for giving us the honor of bearing your first children..." They said to him while trying their best to resist bawling their eyes out.

"You're overreacting, you two. Hurry up and stand up," Su Yang said to them with a smile.

However, they remained kowtowing on the floor, unwilling to move.

It was at this moment the babies in Su Yang's embrace began crying out loud.

"Look, you made the babies cry. If you don't stand up, your dignity as mothers will disappear…" Su Yang said to them.

"..."

Hearing their daughters cry, they had no choice but to stop kowtowing and stand up.

"They are probably hungry after waking up," Wu Jingjing said after wiping the tears from her eyes.

Su Yang quickly handed the babies back to their mother so they could be fed.

Zhu Mengyi and Wu Jingjing proceeded to loosen their robes until one of their breasts popped out, and they began breastfeeding their daughter shortly later.

Once the room was quiet again and the babies were calmly drinking their breast milk, Wu Jingjing suddenly said, "Su Yang, do you think you can come to the Holy Sword Academy and meet my father later? He was extremely shocked when he heard your name, but he wouldn't explain it to me no matter how much I asked, saying that it would be for the best if I didn't know about it."

"The Holy Sword Academy, huh? I'll go when I have the time," he nodded.

Chapter 655 - Heading to the Holy Sword Academy

"Your Majesty, Sect Master Zhu has sent us a message."

A guard kneeled before the handsome middle-aged man with a scroll resting on his palms.

"Sect Master Zhu? Let me see." Emperor Lian accepted the scroll and began reading the message.

"The Xie Family… Su Yang… from the Eastern Continent? Interesting..." Emperor Lian rubbed his chin with a profound gaze.

"If I recall correctly, Su Yang is the name of Immortal Fairy Su Yue's husband. If this Su Yang is the same individual, I would very much like to meet him," Emperor Lian nodded his head.

"Let Sect Master Zhu know that I am willing to meet with these guests and that it will happen in two days."

"As Your Majesty commands!"

The guard nodded before leaving the room.

"These guests from the Eastern Continent… They must have crossed the Jade Sea with Immortal Fairy Su Yue's assistance. Since that's the case, I cannot ignore them." Emperor Lian recalled the flying ship that approached their Holy Central Continent not long ago.

Meanwhile, after receiving Emperor Lian's response from a communication talisman, Sect Master Zhu immediately went to share the news with Su Yang.

"Great news, Su Yang! I have received a response from Emperor Lian just now, and he agreed to meet with you in two days!" Sect Master Zhu said to him after going to their house.

"Two days, huh?" Su Yang nodded.

"Oh, one more thing. I didn't mention the Four Elements Root to Emperor Lian because he might not have agreed with the meeting if he knew you were only there for the treasure, so you'll have to tell him yourself."

"That's fine. Thank you," Su Yang said.

"Then I'll go speak with the Xie Family now," Sect Master Zhu said.

"Wait for a second, mother! Before you go, I want you to know that I have something very important to tell you later," Zhu Mengyi said to her.

"Something very important?" Sect Master Zhu raised her eyebrows in a suspicious manner before nodding, "I understand. You can come to my room whenever you are ready."

Sect Master Zhu left shortly later to let the Xie Family know about the meeting in two days.

Meanwhile, Zhu Mengyi said to Su Yang, "Su Yang, I am going to tell my mother that I will be leaving with you in the future."

"Do you want me to come with you?" he asked.

"No, I can handle this by myself. You should take this time and visit the Holy Sword Academy with Jingjing before meeting with Emperor Lian," Zhu Mengyi said to him.

Su Yang nodded and said Wu Jingjing, "Before we head to the Holy Sword Academy, I should let the Xie Family know so they are aware of my absence."

"Okay, we'll be waiting here for you," Wu Jingjing said.

Sometime later, Su Yang went to the Xie Family's living quarters.

"Su Yang? Do you need anything? Senior Zhu just left this place after telling us about the meeting in two days if that's what you're going to tell us," Xie Wang said after opening the door.

"I know, she told me before coming here. I am here to let you know that I will be away from this place briefly to visit the Holy Sword Academy, one of the Three Ancient Academies."

"Will you return in time for the meeting?" Xie Wang asked him.

"Of course," said Su Yang.

"Okay, I will let the other two know."

Su Yang returned to Wu Jingjing's side shortly later.

"Are we ready to leave?" Su Yang asked her after returning.

"Yes, we can leave whenever."

"Then hop on."

Su Yang retrieved the small flying boat before boarding it, and Wu Jingjing followed him with Wu Min in her arms.

"Where is the Holy Sword Academy?" Su Yang asked her once they were in the air.

"200,000 miles north," she said.

"200,000 miles? How did the two of you return to the Four Seasons Academy so fast?" Su Yang raised his eyebrows.

"Oh… We couldn't wait to meet you again after receiving Senior Zhu's message, so Zhu Mengyi used a life-saving treasure to teleport us back here…" Wu Jingjing explained with a bashful expression.

"You wasted a life-saving treasure just to come back faster? I don't even know whether I should laugh or cry at this…" Su Yang said while shaking his head.

"Anyways, sit tight— this flying boat is quite fast, and we'll reach the Holy Sword Academy in about fifteen minutes."

"That fast!?" Wu Jingjing's eyes widened.

"I can hold onto the baby if you're not confident," Su Yang said with a smile.

"P-Please do…" Wu Jingjing quickly handed Wu Min to him before they began moving.

Once Su Yang and Wu Jingjing left the sect, Zhu Mengyi made her way to her mother's room.

"You're here already? What did you want to speak to me about?" Sect Master Zhu said after seeing her face.

"I just want to let you know that Su Yang has decided to take responsibility for our children and accepted me and Wu Jingjing into his family," she wasted no time telling her mother the truth.

"What!? Is that true?!" Sect Master Zhu immediately stood up from shock and on her face was an ecstatic expression.

"Yes, I have even accepted his Family Seal." Zhu Mengyi lifted her robes to show her mother the Family Seal below her belly button.

"W-What is that?" Sect Master Zhu asked her, as this is also her first time seeing such a thing.

"This is proof that Su Yang has accepted me into his family— the Su Family." Zhu Mengyi said.

"And because I have decided to join his family with Wu Jingjing, I will be leaving the sect to go with him in the future."

"W-W-Wait a second! You're going to leave the sect? This is too sudden!"

"I know, but this is something that I have already decided, as I don't want to separate from him again, and our daughter needs a father," she said to her.

Chapter 656 - Holy Sword Academy

"..."

After a moment of silence, Sect Master Zhu spoke in a low voice, "When? When are you going to leave this place?"

"I will leave with Su Yang when he returns to the Eastern Continent," Zhu Mengyi responded.

"Aiya!" Sect Master Zhu suddenly released a loud sigh while rubbing her temples in a stressed manner.

"I just became a grandmother, and you're already going to take Zhu Jiayi away from me before she can even understand who I am? Are you sure you aren't doing this just to screw with me because of how I treated you in the past? This should be criminal."

"I know this isn't fair to you, mother, but I am definitely not doing this on purpose! I thought I would be fine without Su Yang, but I quickly realized my naivety after he left. Now that he has returned and even offered me to follow him, I simply cannot say no, and even Zhu Jiayi seems to really like him. I don't want her to grow up without a father."

"..."

Sect Master Zhu silently stared at the beautiful little girl sleeping in Zhu Mengyi's arms, feeling a perplexing emotion in her heart. As much as she wanted Zhu Mengyi and Zhu Jiayi to stay in the sect, she couldn't possibly deny Zhu Mengyi of a partner and Zhu Jiayi of a father no matter how selfish she was.

"As long as you promise me that you will visit me with Zhu Jiayi once in a while, I will stop complaining," Sect Master Zhu spoke after a long moment of silence.

However, Zhu Mengyi did not respond to her and merely remained silent.

Seeing this, Sect Master Zhu frowned, "What? Are you telling me that you are not willing to visit me after you leave? And you dare say that you aren't trying to screw with me!?"

Sect Master Zhu wanted to slam the desk in anger, but she didn't dare to scare the sleeping Zhu Jiayi.

"It's not that I don't want to visit you, mother. It's a complicated situation…" Zhu Mengyi sighed.

If she follows Su Yang back to his own world, it might be incredibly difficult if not outright impossible to return to this world, hence why she cannot make that promise with her mother.

"Complicated? What's so complicated about this? If Su Yang can travel the Jade Sea and come here from the Eastern Continent, why can't you visit me?" she asked.

"You don't understand at all, mother. When I leave with Su Yang, I am not just traveling to another continent…" Zhu Mengyi shook her head.

As much as she wanted to tell her mother about Su Yang's real identity, she didn't dare to reveal his Immortal background without his permission even if it was her own mother asking.

"If you can't promise me that you'll visit me, let me speak with Su Yang! I'm sure that he'll let me see my granddaughter!" her mother then said.

"Su Yang just left the sect with Wu Jingjing to travel to the Holy Sword Academy," Zhu Mengyi said to her. "Wu Jingjing wants Su Yang to meet with her father, Senior Wu…"

��Then we'll continue this conversation once he returns. You should leave before I wake up the baby," Sect Master Zhu said, clearly upset about Zhu Mengyi's decision to leave the sect without telling her everything.

Zhu Mengyi sighed, "I understand… I will return with Su Yang later…"

Meanwhile, 200,000 miles away from the Four Seasons Academy, Su Yang and Wu Jingjing have just arrived at the Holy Sword Sect.

"This is…" Su Yang stared at the statue of a handsome young man standing in a heroic pose with a thick sword on his back that was placed right in front of the sect entrance.

"That is my father during his prime, Wu Jiang, who is also known as the Sword Saint." Wu Jingjing explained to him.

"Sword Saint, huh?" Su Yang shook his head inwardly. If the Sword Saints in the Divine Heaven were to learn that someone at the Sovereign Spirit Realm dared to claim the title of Sword Saint, the Holy Sword Academy would disappear within 24 hours.

"Come on, let's go meet my father," she grabbed Su Yang's hand and pulled him towards the sect entrance while he carried Wu Min with his other arm.

"S-Senior apprentice-sister!"

The disciples guarding the entrance immediately bowed to her.

They then turned to look at Su Yang with a dazed face, as they were unfamiliar with his face. However, what shocked them the most was the fact that he was carrying Wu Min. Just who is this handsome young man? If Wu Jingjing trusted him enough to let him carry Wu Min, then he must be someone fairly important to her! Hell, he was even holding onto Wu Jingjing's hands!

"Senior apprentice-sister, this young man is…?" One of the disciples decided to ask her.

"He's here as my guest," she quickly responded.

"What I mean is—"

Before that disciple could even finish his sentence, Wu Jingjing narrowed her eyes at him and spoke with a frown on her face, "When did it become your job to question my relationsh.i.p.s?"

"T-There must have been a misunderstanding! I wouldn't dare to..." The disciple quickly apologized.

"..."

Seeing this, Wu Jingjing spoke in a cold voice, "I know what you're doing. Tell that person to stay away from us, or he'll regret it."

"..."

That disciple's entire body immediately stiffened after hearing her words.

However, before he could even respond, Wu Jingjing pulled Su Yang into the sect and walked away without looking back.

Once they were gone, the disciples there mumbled to each other, "If I had to guess, that young man is definitely her lover…"

"Yeah… And he's most likely also the one who i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed Senior apprentice-sister Wu…"

"Haaa… that person isn't going to be happy about this…"

"Whether he'll be happy or not is none of our concerns. Our job is to report our findings to him, and this is something we must report even at the cost of our lives."

"Then who wants to be the one to report to him about the situation?"

"..."

The place immediately turned silent.

Chapter 657 - Burning With Anger and Jealousy

"What was that about?" Su Yang asked Wu Jingjing sometime later.

"Haaa… Where should I begin?" Wu Jingjing sighed.

"Is this about that disciple who was with you at that time?" Su Yang asked.

"Disciple Zhang? No, he stopped bothering me ever since what happened at the Nine Spring Hall. This person is much more difficult to deal with, mostly because of his status…"

"Hoh? Who is this person that even one of the Ancient Academies cannot deal with?" Su Yang asked with his interest piqued.

"In the entire Holy Central Continent, there is only one power that surpasses the Holy Sword Academy and the Three Ancient Academies—"

"Let me guess, the Lian Family," Su Yang interrupted.

Wu Jingjing nodded her head and continued, "He's the son of Emperor Lian— Lian Heng, and he's also a disciple in the Holy Sword Academy— my father's disciple."

"I understand what you mean by 'difficult to deal with' now," Su Yang said with a calm expression on his face.

"Although Lian Heng is not the aggressive type, he's incredibly persistent. He has a thing for me ever since he became a disciple here at the Holy Sword Academy, and he has been chasing after me since then." Wu Jingjing sighed, and she continued a moment later, "Hell, he's still trying to court me now despite knowing that I already have a child with someone else."

"Though, he did stop bothering me for a year when he first found out that I was pregnant. However, he started returning shortly after Wu Min was born. I think he somehow knows that I am a single parent, hence why he's still trying."

"Hmmm… This person is indeed quite persistent. You can't help but admire people like him," Su Yang said. "There are not many men out there who would be willing to accept a woman who already has a baby with another man into their life. Of course, his behavior could also be explained as a fetish."

"F-Fetish? There are people with such fetishes?" Wu Jingjing looked at him with a terrified expression.

"Oh, you have no idea how many fetishes exist out there," Su Yang said with a weird smile on his face.

"Anyway, what does this Lian Heng guy have to do with those disciples?" he asked her.

"Well… As the son of the Lian Family, it is only natural that he has near limitless resources at hand, and because of his obsession with me, he has spies everywhere watching over me, hence why those disciples were asking personal questions, as they have to report to Lian Heng."

"It wasn't too bad at first, but after I gave birth to Wu Min, he has essentially become a stalker who wants to know everything that happens in my life— probably because he wants to know the identity of Wu Min's father," Wu Jingjing sighed.

"Your father can't stop it?"

"He hasn't tried, but that's because we both know it will only be a waste of effort." Wu Jingjing shook her head with a bitter smile.

"But I don't have to worry about him anymore since I have you here with me now," she said to him with a bright smile on her face.

"Of course. As long as I am here, I won't let anyone harm you or our daughter no matter who they are, even if that person is the son of the emperor or even the emperor himself," Su Yang said, and he continued, "And since he will learn of my identity sooner or later, we might as well reveal our relationship ourselves."

"Okay." Wu Jingjing nodded her head.

She then embraced his entire arm until it was practically pressing against her b.r.e.a.s.ts. Now anyone who sees them will immediately know their intimate relationship with each other.

"L-L-L-Look over there!"

"Heavens! Is that Senior apprentice-sister Wu?!"

When the disciples noticed Wu Jingjing and Su Yang and saw the intimate atmosphere between them that was akin to a husband and wife going on a stroll with their child, the disciples stopped whatever they were doing to stare at them with gawking expressions on their faces.

"C-Could that young man be Senior apprentice-sister Wu's partner!? Wu Min's father?!"

"That must be him! I cannot imagine why else would Senior apprentice-sister act so intimately with him!"

"This is massive news! We need to report this to His Highness if someone hasn't already!"

Wu Jingjing and Su Yang ignored the chaotic surroundings and the countless gazes that were staring at them and continued to walk down the sect with calm expressions on their faces, acting as though they were in their own little world.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Holy Sword Academy, a handsome young man wore a cold expression on his face as another disciple kneeled before him.

"What you said just now… I want to hear it again," said the handsome young man.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The disciple spoke before repeating his words, "Senior apprentice-sister Wu's partner has finally shown himself, and he's currently strolling through the sect with Senior apprentice-sister Wu embracing his arms while holding her daughter in the other hand! If he's not the person His Highness has been looking for, this subject will cut his own throat!"

"Take me to him!" Lian Heng spoke in a demanding voice.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

'So you have finally shown yourself! I don't care who you are— I will make you regret stealing Wu Jingjing from me!' Lian Heng could feel his heart burning with anger and jealousy just thinking about the years of effort he'd put into courting Wu Jingjing only to have another man steal her from him, even defiling her body by impregnating her.

A few seconds later, Lian Heng left his living quarters to follow the disciple.

Meanwhile, a few buildings away from Lian Heng's living quarters, a woman with peerless facial features watched from her window as Lian Heng left his house with a murderous expression on his face.

"What is that idiot up to now?" she mumbled in a curious voice.

Chapter 658 - This F.u.c.ker Is Really Handsome!

'F.u.c.k! I have never been this f.u.c.k.i.n.g angry before! I wasn't this angry even when I found out that Wu Jingjing had been i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed by another man! It's only when this motherf.u.c.ker finally shows himself that my suppressed emotions are exploding!' Lian Heng cursed inwardly.

'Where has he been for the past year? Why did he have to show up now— when I finally decided to toss my pride as the Crown Prince aside and started courting Wu Jingjing again despite her status as a sullied woman?!'

When a woman is no longer pure and loses her status as a maiden, especially if that woman is not married, they are often referred to as a sullied woman or other similar terms.

After following the disciple for many minutes, the disciple suddenly shouted, "Over there, Your Highness! That's Wu Jingjing and her partner!"

"Let me see this bastard's face!"

Lian Heng pushed the disciple to the side and stared at Wu Jingjing and the handsome young man standing beside her in the distance.

'F.u.c.k! This f.u.c.ker is really handsome!' Lian Heng's eyes widened with surprise, as he didn't expect Wu Jingjing's partner to be such a handsome individual, and that somehow lessened his anger, because if Wu Jingjing had picked someone that was uglier than him, it would've definitely worsened his rage.

After waking up from his daze a moment later, Lian Heng shouted loudly before approaching them, "Stop right there!"

"Hm?"

Su Yang lifted his eyebrows when he noticed Lian Heng walking towards their direction in an aggressive manner and a face twisted in anger.

"That's Lian Heng… Emperor Lian's son..." Wu Jingjing said to him in a low voice.

Once they were only a few meters apart, Lian Heng stopped walking and stared at Su Yang directly in his eyes.

"Wu Jingjing greets His Highness," Wu Jingjing bowed to him in a courteous manner.

Lian Heng would normally respond to her greetings, but he was too emotional right now to even glance at her.

"Who the hell are you?" Lian Heng spoke to Su Yang in a cold and demanding voice.

"..."

Su Yang looked at Lian Heng with a calm expression on his face before speaking in a nonchalant voice, "It is common courtesy to introduce yourself before you ask for another's identity."

"Such insolence! Who do you think you are standing before?!" Lian Heng roared.

"I don't care who you are, but can you lower your voice? If you scare my daughter and make her cry, I might not be able to control my emotions," Su Yang spoke with a frown on his face.

*Gasp!*

The disciple watching this scene in the background immediately gasped after hearing Su Yang's words.

"H-He confirmed it himself! He's really Wu Min's father!"

Even though the disciples didn't need Su Yang to say that he was the father, it was still shocking to hear his confirmation.

"..."

Lian Heng's body trembled violently, and his cultivation at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm erupted a second later, causing the atmosphere there to change.

"CRAZY BASTARD!" Lian Feng roared.

"Waaaaa! Waaaa! Waaaaah!"

Wu Min began crying loudly after being startled by Lian Heng's loud voice.

"You little bastard…" Su Yang growled under his breath, and his eyes began turning red.

"Calm her down for me while I take care of this insolent bastard who doesn't know the immensity between heaven and earth!" Su Yang passed the crying Wu Jingjing with a scary expression on his face.

When Wu Jingjing saw the spine-chilling expression on his face and felt the killing intent in his aura, she hastily spoke in a terrified voice, "Y-You can't kill him! He's Emperor's Lian son!"

However, no response came from Su Yang as he immediately rushed at Lian Heng after handing Wu Min to Wu Jingjing.

"Hahaha! What do you think you are going to do with your cultivation that's only at the sixth level Heavenly Spirit Realm?! I am at the peak of the—"

Lian Heng laughed arrogantly when he saw Su Yang rushing at him despite his superior cultivation base. However, before Lian Heng could even finish his sentence, Su Yang suddenly disappeared from his view and appeared right beside him in a split second, and the only thing he saw before feeling intense pain was a large fist flying towards his handsome face.

Boom!

Despite having a higher cultivation base and being at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Lian Heng was unable to resist the immense force from Su Yang's punch and was sent flying like a ragdoll before smashing into one of the buildings there and destroying the wall.

"..."

The entire place turned silent, and the disciples there stared at Su Yang and the massive hole in the wall with gawking expressions on their faces, looking as though they'd just witnessed their ancestors rising from their graves.

Hell, even Wu Min stopped crying when she witnessed the scene.

"Oh, my lord… He actually dared to punch Emperor Lian's son in the face!"

The disciples exclaimed with terrified expressions after they realized the gravity of the situation.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Lian Heng escaped from the rubble a few seconds later and landed many meters away from Su Yang before staring at him with bloodshot eyes and a bloody nose.

"I SWEAR TO—"

Lian Heng roared.

However, before he could even finish his sentence, Su Yang suddenly appeared before him in an instant like a ghost and grabbed his robes by the chest.

"Are you trying to scare my daughter with your loud voice again? I guess you are the slow type that needs more than one lesson before you understand anything."

Su Yang raised his fist and punched Lian Heng in the face again.

However, because Su Yang was clutching to his robes, Lian Heng did not fly anywhere and remained standing— levitating there.

"Do you understand now?" Su Yang suddenly punched Lian Heng in the face again before he could even open his mouth to respond.

"No?"

*Pop*

Su Yang punched him again.

"How about now?"

*Pop*

"Still no?"

*Pop* *Pop* *Pop*

"..."

The disciples watched in horror as Su Yang savagely pummeled Lian Heng in his face for the next few minutes until Lian Heng's entire face was swollen black and blue.

Chapter 659 - Pummeling the Crown Prince

"P-Pleese… I-I undursten…" Lian Heng managed to mumble in a low voice after eating Su Yang's fist for the tenth time.

"What? I didn't hear you," Su Yang said as he raised his fist again.

"I-I SAID I UNDERSTAND! PLEASE STOP HITTING ME!" Lian Heng shouted despite the pain on his face.

Su Yang shook his head and released another punch at Lian Heng's face.

"You clearly don't understand a damn thing…" Su Yang sighed as he continued to pummel Lian Heng until he was satisfied a few minutes later.

Once Su Yang stopped beating Lian Heng, he tossed Lian Heng's body to the side like trash before returning to Wu Jingjing's side.

"S-Su Yang… you didn't kill him, right?" Wu Jingjing asked him in a worried tone.

If he really killed Emperor Lian's son, one can only imagine the outrage it would cause.

"Of course not. I would love to kill him, but I still need the Four Elements Root from his father," he responded in a casual voice.

"..."

Wu Jingjing stared at him with wide eyes. So if not for the Four Elements Root, he wouldn't have hesitated to kill the Emperor's son?

"W-Wait a second!"

Just as Su Yang and Wu Jingjing began walking away, Lian Heng called out to them.

"What do you want? Are you not satisfied with my beating and want more?" Su Yang turned to look at him, who was already applying medicine to his face and swallowing recovery pills.

"I...I challenge you to an official match! If you can defeat me in a sword battle, I will give up on Wu Jingjing and never bother her again! However, if I win, you will disappear from her life!"

"What kind of nonsense is that?" Su Yang shook his head with an unimpressed expression on his face.

"You are suggesting a bet where you have nothing to lose while I lose my woman and daughter? And why swords? What if I don't know how to use a sword? No matter how you look at it, this isn't fair in the slightest."

"So what if it isn't fair?! I am Lian Heng, son of Emperor Lian and the crown prince! If I wanted to take Wu Jingjing by force, who can stop me?!"

"If you don't agree to this battle, I will use my authority to take her by force, and you can't do anything to stop me— unless you fight me on the stage with a sword!"

"Your Highness, you are going overboard. My father won't let you do as you please even if you are his disciple and the crown prince!" Wu Jingjing said to him with an unpleasant frown on her face.

"Don't worry, Wu Jingjing, I won't physically force you to become mine or anything like that. If I was that kind of person, you would've become my woman long ago!" Lian Heng spoke with a confident grin on his face.

"..."

Wu Jingjing was speechless. Did Su Yang beat him too hard that he'd lost some of his senses? No matter how he forces himself on her, she is still being forced to be with him!

"Haaa…" Su Yang sighed loudly.

He then turned around to face Lian Heng with a narrowed gaze before speaking in a calm voice, "Since beating you with my fist was not good enough, I guess I will have to do it with a sword instead."

"When do you want to do this? I don't have much time here so the quicker we deal with this the better," he said.

"Right now! We are going to fight right now!" Lian Heng said.

"Hmm… I don't want to appear as someone bullying someone who's already injured, so I will give you some time to recover before we begin." Su Yang said.

"Follow me!"

Lian Heng said to Su Yang before walking away.

"I guess we will have to postpone the meeting with your father until we deal with him," Su Yang said to Wu Jingjing.

"No matter what you do, just don't kill him… I don't want my father or the Holy Sword Academy to feel Emperor Lian's wrath…" Wu Jingjing warned him.

"Hahaha… Don't worry, I won't kill him, but I will butcher his pride as a man," Su Yang laughed as he followed Lian Heng with a casual feeling around him.

Wu Jingjing sighed before following him with Wu Min in her arms.

"T-This is crazy! We need to let everyone know about this event!"

"The crown prince is going to fight with Senior apprentice-sister Wu's partner on the stage!"

"A sword battle, too!"

News of Su Yang and Lian Heng's battle spread across the entire Holy Sword Academy sect like a wildfire, shocking every disciple that heard it.

And very quickly, pretty much every disciple and sect elder in the sect gathered at the stage to witness this fight.

And although some sect elders wanted to stop this fight before it got out of hand, they didn't dare to refuse Lian Heng during such a sensitive time as everyone and their mother knew about the crown prince's affection for Wu Jingjing.

"Heavens, what happened to His Highness's face? It looks horrible!" The first thing the disciples noticed when they saw Lian Heng was his beaten face, looking like someone had smashed his face against the wall multiple times.

"What? That handsome young man did that to His Highness? Unbelievable!"

"How could His Highness suffer such a devastating defeat from someone who's three whole levels below his own cultivation?"

"I'm sure it was foul play, hence why His Highness wanted to fight him on the stage with so many witnesses."

"Wow, that young man is Senior apprentice-sister Wu's partner? I totally understand why she'd picked someone like him!"

"Right? I wouldn't mind being i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed by someone like him, either!"

An hour later, when the seats around the stage were filled to the brim with disciples and Lian Heng's face injury had healed to the point where he could no longer feel any pain, Su Yang and Lian Heng stepped onto the stage.

However, not even a moment later, a dominating presence appeared not far away, and a beautiful woman with peerless features resembling a fairy descended from the heavens and landed beside the stage.

When this beautiful fairy appeared, the surroundings became dead silent, and everybody there stared at her as though they were at loss for words.

Su Yang looked at this beautiful fairy who appeared out of thin air in silence, as her appearance rivaled Wu Jingjing, Zhu Mengyi, and even Xie Xingfang.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lian Heng said to her with a frown on his face.

The beautiful woman glanced at him before responding in a nonchalant voice, "I can ask you the same thing. What the hell are you doing?"

"It's none of your business, so quickly get out of my face," said Lian Heng, not caring for her disrespectful tone.

"None of my business? I have already seen everything from the beginning, and your actions are sickening. Are you trying to ruin the Lian Family's reputation with your farce? I was going to intervene, but when I saw you getting beaten like a dog, I had to stop myself as I didn't want to interrupt such an entertaining scene."

"Shut the hell up and stay out of my way!" Lian Heng roared at her.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about me getting in your way. I am just here as a spectator," she calmly responded, feeling no pressure despite facing the crown prince, even arguing with him.

'Who is this woman?' Su Yang was intrigued by this mysterious woman's abnormal presence.

Noticing Su Yang's gaze, the beautiful woman turned to look at him with a cold expression, "I don't know who you are, and I would like to reward you for beating this dog, but no matter the situation, you have raised your hands against someone from the Lian Family. I hope you are prepared for the consequences of defying the Lian Family."

Hearing her warning, Su Yang smiled and said, "I also don't know who you are, nor do I care, but if anyone dares to touch my women, even if they are the Emperor's son, I will promptly deal with them. He is already immensely lucky that I haven't killed him for trying to covet my woman."

The woman narrowed her eyes at him and spoke in a cold voice, "Your words just now… I can take that as a challenge to the Lian Family, right?"

Seeing her strong reaction, Su Yang could guess her identity, and he spoke, "You must also belong to the Lian Family. No wonder why you dare to speak with this idiot on equal footing."

"Su Yang! That's the crown prince's elder sister and also Emperor Lian's only daughter, Lian Li!" Wu Jingjing said to him from outside the stage.

"It doesn't matter who they are— if they dare to oppose me, I will put them in their place," Su Yang said with a domineering aura around him.

He narrowed his eyes at Lian Li and continued, "If you have a problem with that, you can also come up here after I deal with that idiot. If you cannot wait, I don't mind taking on both of you at once."

"Such insolence!" Lian Li shouted, and her cultivation base that was surprisingly at the first level Sovereign Spirit Realm filled the entire stage.

"Why don't we all calm down for a moment?"

Suddenly, another pressure at the Sovereign Spirit Realm appeared, canceling out Lian Li's pressure.

The people there immediately turned to look towards the sky, where a man exuding a powerful aura was descending towards the stage.

"Sect Master!" The disciples there greeted this man.

"Father..." Wu Jingjing already expected his appearance sooner or later so she wasn't surprised to see him appear here. Though, she didn't want Su Yang and her father to meet in such a condition.

"Master." Lian Heng and Lian Li bowed to Wu Jiang despite their royal status, showing their deep respect for him.

Wu Jiang nodded his head towards the royal siblings before turning to look at Su Yang with a profound gaze.

'This young man is Su Yang…?' Wu Jiang was shocked inwardly when he saw Su Yang's young appearance, as he'd expected someone older. However, appearances can be very deceiving in the cultivation world so he didn't dare to judge a book by its cover.

"I rushed here after receiving a brief explanation of the situation, but before we start, I would like to know a few things…" Wu Jiang said a moment later, his gaze still on Su Yang.

Su Yang could easily guess what Wu Jiang wanted to ask him, so he cleared his throat and spoke in a calm and clear voice, "My name is Su Yang, and as you can guess, I am the one who i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed Wu Jingjing who later gave birth to Wu Min. It's nice to finally meet you, father-in-law."

"F-Father-in-law?" Wu Jiang stared at Su Yang with a blank expression, as he was not prepared for this unfair attack by Su Yang.

"Are you related to Immortal Fairy Su Yue by chance?" Wu Jiang suddenly asked him with a serious expression.

"Immortal Fairy Su Yue? Nope, I have never heard of her before since I am not from around here," Su Yang lied with a straight face.

After confirming that he was not related to Immortal Fairy Su Yue, Wu Jiang sighed in relief inwardly, as he didn't want to deal with Immortal Fairy Su Yue and the royal family.

A moment of silence later, Wu Jiang spoke with a frown on his face, "I don't recall Wu Jingjing being engaged to anyone. And from my understanding, you told my daughter that you would not bear responsibility for impregnating her, hence why she has been taking care of Wu Min as a single mother ever since her birth."

"That is indeed what I had said to her before, but things have changed, and I have decided to take responsibility and accept her into my family, hence why I have come to the Holy Sword Academy today," Su Yang said.

"He's telling the truth, father! We were on our way to meet you, but the crown prince aggressively blocked our path, which led us to this stage!" Wu Jingjing said to him.

"I understand your frustrations and the situation, but it does not justify beating the crown prince in such a vicious manner," Wu Jiang said to her before looking at Su Yang and continuing, "Since you have offended the Lian Family, even I cannot save you. However, you can still save Wu Jingjing by staying away from her. I don't want her to get involved with your mess."

"Father! What are you saying?!" Wu Jingjing shouted at him with a baffled face.

However, Wu Jiang ignored her and waited for Su Yang's response.

After a moment of silence, Su Yang spoke with a calm expression on his face, "Just like that idiot over there, if you want to take Wu Jingjing away from me, then you'll have to defeat me in a sword fight."

Many gasping noises could be heard from the surroundings after they heard Su Yang's bold words.

"D-Did he just challenge the Sword Saint to a sword match...?"

"The audacity! The boldness!"

"What the heck?! It turns out that he was an idiot all along! I feel sorry for Senior apprentice-sister Wu!"

The place quickly became filled with laughter and many other noises.

Chapter 661 - Demon Slaying Sword

"Silence!" Wu Jiang suddenly roared, causing the entire place to turn silent.

Once the entire place was silent, Wu Jiang turned to look at Su Yang with a narrowed gaze on his displeased expression.

"You… A Junior who is only at the sixth level Heavenly Spirit Realm dares to challenge Sovereign? A mere child who does not know the immensity between heaven and earth!" Wu Jiang growled.

However, Su Yang remained calm and spoke, "Are you really the Sect Master of a sword sect? Even beginner swordmasters should know that in a sword battle, one's cultivation is not as important as one's understanding with the sword."

"Hahahahaha!" Lian Heng suddenly burst out laughing, "I thought you were just being bold because he is Wu Jingjing's father, but to question a Sword Saint's understanding of the sword! You are just plain stupid!"

"Sword Saint? Ah, right. Wu Jingjing did mention that before. Anyway, I will show you what it takes to be called a Sword Saint later— after I beat this idiot." Su Yang turned to look at Lian Heng and continued, "Are you ready to fight yet?"

"You think you can really defeat me in a sword battle? I don't know how much experience you have with the sword but if you think you can beat me like previously when I have a sword in my hand, then you are gravely mistaken!"

Seeing this, Wu Jiang merely shook his head and spoke in a sighing voice before walking off the stage, "Since you are Wu Min's father, I won't let you die in front of her, but since you have decided to challenge the Lian Family, I won't be able to save you once you leave this place."

"Father! Are you seriously trying to separate Su Yang from us? You have no idea what you are doing!" Wu Jingjing yelled at him in a fierce voice after he approached her.

"I have no idea what I am doing? I can say the same words to you, Jingjing. Clearly, you have chosen the wrong man to make a child with. If your mother was here, what do you think she would say about this situation?"

"If mother was here, she would be scolding you for trying to separate Wu Min and her father!" Wu Jingjing answered without hesitation.

"Aiya… Where did I go wrong in teaching you? You are currently blinded by your feelings, Jingjing. However, I am confident that after this duel, your eyes will be able to see again, and then you will see just how pathetic of a man that person is."

"Hmph! I cannot wait to see you begging on your knees to Su Yang to stay with me once you witness his greatness!" Wu Jingjing coldly snorted before ignoring him and turning her focus onto the stage.

Once Su Yang and Lian Heng were standing about 50 meters apart from each other, Wu Jiang spoke, "I, Wu Jiang, Sect Master of the Holy Sword Academy will foresee this sword battle between His Highness, Lian Heng, and Su Yang."

"Although I cannot guarantee either of you that there will be no accidents, I can guarantee you that I will do my best to not let either of you die on the stage."

"Furthermore, since this is not a normal spar but a sword battle, you will only be allowed to sword techniques or techniques related to the sword, and you are only allowed to use swords of similar quality! This way, neither of you will have an unfair advantage over the other, and it will be your sword techniques that will make the difference!"

After Wu Jiang ended his sentence, Lian Heng brought out a glowing black sword from his storage ring and pointed it at Su Yang.

"I can already guess the answer, but do you have a sword of similar quality to my Black Demon Sword?"

The Black Demon Sword was a Heaven-grade treasure at the peak quality, and it emitted a tyrannical aura that caused the atmosphere to tremble in terror.

"Indeed, I don't have a sword that can rival the one in your hands," Su Yang nodded. "However, I don't need a powerful sword to deal with you."

"Hahaha! What kind of excuse is that?!" Lian Heng laughed out loud, and the disciples watching also laughed at him.

"Su Yang! Take this sword!" Wu Jingjing suddenly called out to him before tossing a beautiful sword with a red blade.

"Oh? This sword is…" Su Yang caught the sword and looked at it with a nostalgic smile on his face. It was the same sword Wu Jingjing had used at the Nine Spring Hall.

"That's the Demon Slaying Sword!"

The disciples there easily recognized this iconic sword that has multiple legends attached to its name.

"Jingjing! You actually gave him your Demon Slaying Sword!? That's our family heirloom!" Wu Jiang yelled at her after seeing this.

"So what if I did? I don't see anything wrong with giving the family heirloom to a family member, and he's already my husband," Wu Jingjing responded with a calm expression on her face.

"What husband!? When was the wedding?! The two of you aren't even married!" Wu Jiang retorted.

"A wedding is only a ceremony. Since that's the case, I am indeed married to him, as we already had a ceremony in our own way; it was very intense and passionate," Wu Jingjing said with a calm face.

Wu Jiang nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood after hearing her suggestive words.

"The Demon Slaying Sword slaying the Black Demon… It's quite fitting, don't you think?" Su Yang said to Lian Heng.

"Don't get full of yourself! The fight hasn't even started yet!" Lian Heng shouted at him.

Su Yang merely smiled at him.

"Are the two of you ready to fight?" Wu Jiang asked them a moment later.

"Yes!" Lian Heng shouted with enthusiasm.

However, Su Yang said, "Give me a moment."

He then drew a small circle around his feet with the Demon Slaying Sword before speaking in a calm voice, "Okay, we are ready to start."

"What the heck are you doing?" Lian Heng frowned upon seeing this with an ominous feeling in his heart.

Chapter 662 - Unfathomable Arrogance

"Can't you tell by looking?" Su Yang said after hearing Lian Heng's question.

"This is my circle, and if I take even a single step outside of this circle during the fight, I will count this battle as my loss."

"What?!"

Lian Heng and the spectators immediately exclaimed in shock.

"How dare you look down on me in such a manner!" Lian Heng roared with a fuming expression on his face.

"Looking down on you? That is not possible, as you cannot look down on something that has been nothing since the beginning," Su Yang spoke with a nonchalant face.

"YOU WILL F.U.C.K.I.N.G REGRET THIS!!!" Lian Heng roared before exploding with intense Sword Intent.

*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*

The Sword Intent emitted by Lian Heng was so intense that deep cuts were appearing around him on the stage, looking as though there were invisible swords flying around him.

"This young man… I am speechless…" Lian Li mumbled in a low voice, as this is her first time encountering someone so arrogant and domineering.

'Where is his confidence coming from? Although he managed to beat Lian Heng pretty badly before, this is an entirely different battlefield with different rules. Lian Heng is a genius swordmaster who managed to fully control his Sword Intent at 33 years old. Not even I would dare to claim that I could defeat Lian Heng without moving from that circle! Furthermore, I cannot sense any Sword Intent or Sword Qi from this guy!' Lian Li pondered with a curious expression on her face, wondering if Su Yang can really achieve what he boasted.

How can a mere nobody with zero known achievements or reputation have such confidence before someone like Lian Heng? It was simply incomprehensible to Lian Li.

"Jingjing… I am at loss for words. Do you even believe that he could win this yourself?" Wu Jiang asked her.

"Of course," she responded without hesitation.

"Haaa... Your blindness is worse than I'd thought." Wu Jiang shook his head in disappointment.

On the stage, Su Yang raised his eyebrows after feeling Lian Heng's powerful Sword Intent, and he spoke, "After seeing your Sword Intent, I have realized my mistake and would like to apologize..."

Su Yang then used his sword to draw another circle around his feet, which was even smaller than the previous circle he drew.

"I had vastly overestimated your abilities, and I would like to apologize for that," he said after drawing the circle.

"FUUUUCK YOU!"

Lian Heng's eyes immediately became bloodshot, and he took his first step towards Su Yang.

"Sword Sparrow!"

Lian Heng swung his sword at Su Yang a dozen times in the blink of an eye, and a dozen black arc lights flew towards Su Yang at a frightening speed.

Seeing this, Su Yang tightly gripped the Demon Slaying Sword and casually swung it.

Whoosh!

A massive red arc of light appeared from the swing and collided with Lian Heng's attacks.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

The black arc lights were shattered into countless fragments the moment it touched the red arc of light without any signs of resistance, looking like they were eggs trying to smash a rock.

"What?!" Lian Heng immediately stopped running at Su Yang to dodge the massive arc of light flying at him, feeling his heart beating like crazy afterward.

After barely dodging the attack, Lian Heng turned to look at Su Yang with wide eyes filled with disbelief.

How did he manage to release such a powerful sword attack when he's not even emitting Sword Intent?

"What just happened?" Even Lian Li and Wu Jiang could not understand what had just happened and stared at Su Yang with a gawking expression.

"Is that all you can do with your Sword Intent? How disappointing..." Su Yang asked him with a bored expression on his face.

"I am just getting started!" Lian Heng shouted before swinging the Black Demon Sword viciously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hundreds of black arc lights flew at Su Yang, blocking his view.

"..."

Su Yang watched the arc of lights flying at him with a nonchalant expression on his face.

He suddenly raised his hand, but it was not the hand he was holding his sword with, and in front of countless shocked gazes, he covered his mouth as he yawned.

'What the heck is he doing?! Does he plan on blocking so many sword lights with his body?!' Wu Jiang cried inwardly, and he prepared to rush onto the stage to save him.

However, before Wu Jiang could even move his body, the black arc of lights was sliced into countless fragments before they could even get close to Su Yang's body, almost as though they were cut by an invisible sword.

"WHAT?!"

Lian Heng's eyes widened with shock when all of his sword intent were destroyed before they could even reach Su Yang, who was only yawning at that moment.

"..."

The place was dead silent, almost as though the entire world was quiet at this moment.

"I-Impossible! You must be cheating with some kind of treasure! Why can't my Sword Intent reach you when you are not even emitting Sword Intent?!" Lian Heng quickly accused him of cheating.

"Me? Cheating? Very well…" Su Yang then turned to look at Wu Jingjing before tossing at her his storage rings and said, "Hold them for me."

However, he was not finished. After handing his storage rings to Wu Jingjing, Su Yang began stripping his own clothes until only his underwear remained.

"Heavens! Look at that flawless body!"

"If only I can go on that stage and lick his body right now…"

The disciples stared at Su Yang's practically n.a.k.e.d body with dropping jaws, especially the female disciples who were essentially drooling with l.u.s.t at his perfect body at this moment.

"If you are not satisfied, should I also take off my last piece of armor? I don't mind fighting you n.a.k.e.d, as I am quite confident in my own body." Su Yang said to him with a calm expression on his face, seemingly unfazed despite his appearance.

Chapter 663 - An Incomprehensible Fight

"Y-Y-You! How can you fight in a sword battle with such a vulgar appearance?! Do you have no shame?!" Lian Li pointed at Su Yang and yelled at him with a blushing face, as this is her first time seeing a man revealing more than just their neck and arm skin.

Su Yang turned to look at Lian Li and spoke with a nonchalant expression on his face, "Shame? Why would I feel ashamed of my own body? And if you don't like it, you can stop looking."

"Tch!" Lian Li sucked her teeth in anger. How could she possibly not watch when she hasn't understood how his powers worked yet?

"This young man…" Wu Jiang shook his head, but there was no rule stating that one cannot fight while being n.a.k.e.d. Furthermore, he also suspected Su Yang of cheating, so he would actually prefer it if Su Yang fought n.a.k.e.d.

"Anyway, let us continue our sword battle," Su Yang said to Lian Heng, who had been standing there with a dazed look on his face.

"You don't have to tell me! Heavenly Sword Cleave!"

Lian Heng raised his sword high into the air before cleaving it downwards, looking as though he wanted to split a mountain.

Whoosh!

A massive black light resembling the blade of a sword appeared in the air and fell towards Su Yang, bearing down immense pressure around him, yet he still somehow manages to hold an unimpressed expression on his face.

"When will you learn that your Sword Intent will have no effect on me?" Su Yang shook his head. "You really are a slow learner…"

In just a moment, the black blade reached Su Yang's shoulders and threatened to slice his body in half. However, for some unknown reason, Wu Jiang did not make even the slightest movement and silently stared at Su Yang with wide eyes, almost as though he was trying to stare a hole into his body.

Clang!

The moment the black blade touched Su Yang's shoulder, almost like a mirror falling onto the floor, it shattered into many tiny pieces.

"What?! How is this possible?! What kind of trick are you using?!" Lian Heng felt like he was dreaming after witnessing the impossible before his eyes for the third time, even feeling like he was going to go crazy.

'Impossible! I have been watching his every movement, yet there weren't any suspicious movements from him! He is really just standing there and doing nothing! But that does not explain how he's able to break Lian Heng's sword techniques!' Wu Jiang pondered with a deep frown.

Even with his vast experience as the Sword Saint, he was unable to comprehend the situation before him, and he has never felt so disoriented in his entire life.

'Damn! Just what on earth is he doing?! I am going crazy just trying to figure it out!' Lian Li felt like pulling on her own hair from the frustration of not being able to understand a single thing, feeling like she was inside a thick fog without any guide.

'I have never seen anything like this before… It feels like Lian Heng's Sword Intent are withdrawing from Su Yang instead of being destroyed by him, almost like they are afraid of hurting him…' Wu Jingjing pondered with a curious gaze.

'And what happened to his Sword Qi? How come I can't feel it like in the past? Is he hiding it on purpose?'

As everyone pondered what had just happened and why Lian Heng's attacks cannot even reach Su Yang, much less hurt him, Su Yang said to Lian Heng, "I think I have proved my point— that you will never be able to defeat me in your current state."

"Why?! Why can't my attacks reach you?! Under my authority as the crown prince, I demand you to answer me!" Lian Heng cried out loud, demanding an answer.

However, Su Yang merely shook his head and said, "You won't understand even if I told you."

"F.u.c.k! I don't believe that my blade cannot reach you! If Sword Intent does not work, let's see if you can block my real sword with your body!" Lian Heng roared before rushing at Su Yang with the Black Demon Sword in his grasp.

"Die for me!"

The Black Demon Sword glowed with a dark light before Lian Heng suddenly thrust it at Su Yang's chest, his aura radiating with killing intent.

Su Yang smiled at this, and right before the Black Demon Sword reached his chest, his arm flickered, catching the black blade with his bare arms.

"What?!"

Lian Heng cried out loud before retreating, but alas, when he tried to pull his sword, he realized that it would not budge even slightly.

The smile on Su Yang's face suddenly turned into a grin, and a second later, an immense amount of Sword Intent gushed from his body.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

Lian Heng screamed in terror as many sword cuts appeared on his body the instant Su Yang released his Sword Intent.

"Your Highness!" Wu Jiang shouted in a terrified voice, yet he did not move from his spot, as everything happened so fast that it was already too late by the time he could react.

Su Yang reclaimed his Sword Intent after releasing it for a brief second, and Lian Heng collapsed onto the floor the next moment with blank eyes and over a hundred sword injuries on his body. However, luckily for him, they were only minor injuries and nothing life-threatening.

When Wu Jiang saw this, he released a deep and long sigh of relief, as he cannot imagine what would happen to the Holy Sword Academy if Su Yang had killed Lian Heng at that moment.

'What powerful Sword Intent…' Lian Li held a serious frown on her beautiful face after experiencing Su Yang's Sword Intent that made her heart skip a beat even though she was on the other side of the stage, and she cannot help but wonder what it would feel to face such a powerful Sword Intent head-on.

After a moment of pondering, Lian Li nodded to herself with a resolute expression on her face before jumping onto the stage, dumbfounding everybody there.

Chapter 664 - Slightly Better Than Lian Heng

'What powerful Sword Intent…'

Even though it was only for a brief moment, Su Yang's Sword Intent had caused Wu Jiang's heart to skip a beat.

Furthermore, Wu Jiang was confident that Su Yang had not used his full power just now. If Su Yang were to use all of his Sword Intent, there was no doubt that Lian Heng would've died.

'Just how much more power is he hiding?' Wu Jiang stared at Su Yang with a complicated frown on his face.

When Wu Jingjing noticed her father's perplexed expression, she silently smiled to herself, 'If you think that was impressive, just wait until he uses 'that' sword technique.'

Meanwhile, Lian Li suddenly jumped onto the stage, shocking everybody there.

"Her Highness just entered the stage! Does she plan on avenging her junior brother?!" The disciples watched with nearly uncontrollable excitement, as they rarely got to see Lian Li fight.

"Somebody get that disgraceful dog out of the stage!" Lian Li suddenly shouted in a commanding voice, and a sect elder immediately went to bring the unconscious Lian Heng off the stage.

Once they were alone on the stage, Lian Li retrieved a sword with a blue blade that emitted a chilling aura from her storage ring and pointed it at Su Yang before speaking, "Do you dare to accept my challenge?"

"Are you trying to avenge him?" Su Yang asked her with a calm expression on his face.

"Revenge? You are mistaken. I couldn't care less even if you removed his limbs. However, you have openly challenged the Lian Family and even slapped our face before so many people, so I am going to punish you for that," she spoke with a cold expression on her fairy-like face.

"Is that so? But I don't like hurting women— especially the beautiful ones without a damn good reason."

"What kind of excuse is that? Are you running away from me after barking so loudly not too long ago? If I recall correctly, you said that if I had a problem, I could step onto the stage, and that is exactly what I am doing, or are you going to go back on your words? Maybe you are actually a coward behind that facade filled with confidence!"

"..."

Su Yang narrowed his eyes at Lian Li and remained silent for a moment before nodding, "Very well, since you insist on fighting me, I will accept your challenge."

And then he continued, "However, since this is a challenge, there will be a loser and a winner, and in such cases, the loser usually has to sacrifice something."

Hearing his words, Lian Li quickly responded, "If you can defeat me in a sword battle, I will act as though everything that happened today never happened, and I will turn a blind eye to your disrespectful behavior towards the Lian Family just this time."

"However, if you lose this challenge, you will have to bear the full responsibility for disrespecting the Lian Family without uttering a single complaint no matter the punishment."

Su Yang nodded, "That sounds reasonable. However, to make this challenge more fun, why don't we add a few more rules?"

"What are you thinking?" Lian Li frowned, feeling an ominous feeling about the smile that just appeared on Su Yang's face.

"It's quite simple, actually. Since I only dare to cut women who are my enemy, I will defeat you without harming a single hair on your body. If I injure your skin even a little with my sword or any sword techniques, it will automatically be my defeat."

"What…? Are you serious?" Lian Li looked at him with wide eyes. Does he actually plan on defeating her without hurting her? Is that even possible?

"Of course. And if I manage to achieve such a feat, in addition to your previous words, you'll also have dinner with me tonight," Su Yang spoke with a handsome smile on his face.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The entire place turned silent after Su Yang's last sentence, and every disciple at the arena was staring at Su Yang with disbelief on their faces.

"The audacity!" A loud voice boomed.

However, it was no Lian Li who spoke just now. Instead, such words came from Wu Jiang's mouth.

"Are you f.u.c.k.i.n.g with me right now?! How dare you court another woman—Her Highness, no less— in front of Jingjing, who gave birth to your child?! Does the word 'fidelity' not exist in your world?!" Wu Jiang shouted at Su Yang while pointing fingers.

"And you, Jingjing! Are you still going to defend him after seeing this?! This is the kind of man he really is!" Wu Jiang turned to look at her afterward.

"..."

Wu Jingjing was speechless. If her father is already this angry in this situation, one can only imagine his reaction once he learns about the identity of Zhu Jiayi's father and all of Su Yang's other women.

"There's no point explaining it to you when you are this emotional, father," Wu Jingjing said to him before ignoring him again.

"You— I don't care anymore!" Wu Jiang could feel his blood boiling from anger at this moment.

Meanwhile, Lian Li silently stared at Su Yang with a deep frown on her face. Despite her beauty, this is actually her first time being courted by a man due to her immense status, much less by a man that's partially n.a.k.e.d who also dared to challenge and disrespect her family in public.

"I don't know what you're thinking inside that messed up head of yours, but if you really think you can defeat me without harming me, there is clearly something wrong with you."

"You can think whatever you want about me, all I want to know is whether or not you agree to the additional rule," Su Yang said to her with a smile on his face.

"I agree! If you can really defeat me, much less accomplish that without harming me, I will be willing to do whatever you want me to!" Lian Li suddenly waved her sword with intense Sword Intent exuding from her aura, and there was even a hint of Sword Qi within her aura, causing the atmosphere there to change drastically.

"I guess you're slightly better than your brother," Su Yang said with a calm expression on his face after seeing her Sword Intent.

Chapter 665 - What Do You Think You Are Doing to Me, You Damn Pervert?!

"Only slightly better?" Lian Li frowned after hearing his words.

Lian Heng would not be able to defeat her even if she were to fight him while blindfolded, yet he claims that she was only 'slightly' better than Lian Heng? What kind of nonsense is this?

"Since there appears to be some problem with your sights, allow me to open them for you!" Lian Li suddenly rushed at Su Yang with Sword Intent gushing from her body like an aura.

"Taste my Glacial Blades!"

The blue sword in her hands emitted such a cold temperature that everywhere it went, a trail of ice would appear.

Boom!

Su Yang used the Demon Slayer Sword to intercept Lian Li's strike, and the moment their swords touched each other, a massive explosion occurred from the impact.

An extremely cold breeze suddenly assaulted Su Yang, freezing the surface of his skin in an instant until nearly his entire body from the neck down was frozen solid.

Lian Li retreated immediately after the attack and looked at Su Yang's frozen body with a grin on her face, "You don't look so good. Why don't you put your clothes on before we continue?"

"This feeling isn't too bad. It's actually quite refreshing, almost like taking a cold bath under the blazing sun," Su Yang said, still with a calm expression on his face.

A second later, his body began turning red, and the ice around his body quickly melted.

"What did you do just now?" Lian Li frowned after seeing how Su Yang escaped her technique with such ease.

"Because of my unique cultivation technique, my body contains extremely potent Yang Qi. If you want to freeze my body, you'll need something colder— something cold enough to freeze the entire Jade Sea."

'What the hell? Why does his body contain so much Yang Qi? That's pure recklessness!' Lian Li could not comprehend why any Cultivator would want such powerful Yang Qi in their body, as she was not familiar with Dual Cultivators, much less a Dual Cultivator of Su Yang's caliber.

And from her knowledge, having too much Yang Qi for any Cultivator is an extremely dangerous situation, and one must find the perfect balance for their spiritual energy, or they will only harm themselves.

'Just what kind of cultivation technique is he cultivating? How can he cultivate his Sword Intent to such a high level with such a messed up body?' Even Wu Jiang could not understand the situation.

However, this is mostly due to the nature of the Holy Central Continent that lacked Dual Cultivators, as there were no sects that would practice Dual Cultivation when swords and medicine dominated the Holy Central Continent.

"Anyway, are you done showing off? If you are, it's my turn to attack," Su Yang said to her, treating this entire fight as though it was a joke and they were only playing.

"Are you making fun of me?!" Lian Li shouted angrily before running at him again.

"If Sword Intent does not work on you, let's see if you can handle Sword Qi!"

The aura around Lian Li suddenly cracked, becoming increasingly intense and sharp, almost as if she'd turned into a real sword.

"Haaaaaaaa!"

Lian Li shouted at the top of her lungs as she struck Su Yang with nothing but her Sword Qi and her sword.

Seeing this, Su Yang showed a mysterious smile on his face, and his aura also exploded with Sword Qi.

"What?!" Lian Li's eyes widened with shock after seeing Su Yang explode with Sword Qi, but it was too late for her to stop her attack.

Clang!

"Ah!"

Lian Li was sent flying by the impact of their clash, but she managed to recover her balance mid-air before returning to the ground.

"I-Impossible…" Lian Li stared at Su Yang with a dazed expression, seemingly in disbelief.

"H-He can also use Sword Qi?!" Wu Jiang held a shocked expression on his face as his gaze stared at the sharp aura around Su Yang. "How did he conceal such powerful Sword Qi— to the extent where even I was unable to sense it?!"

He then turned to look at Wu Jingjing who was smiling and asked her, "Did you know about this the entire time?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, father. I am blind, after all." Wu Jingjing spoke with a nonchalant expression on her face.

"..."

Wu Jiang was speechless at her petty response.

"W-What a surprise… I didn't expect you to also have Sword Qi…" Lian Li spoke with a weird expression on her face.

"Why are you so surprised? It's only Sword Qi," Su Yang said to her with a calm face.

"Only Sword Qi, you say? There are only three individuals who can use Sword Qi on this entire continent! Master Wu, the Grand Elder, and me! And I am barely scratching the surface in terms of knowledge for Sword Qi!" Lian Li said to him, and she continued, "Just who are you, really?! How can you use Sword Intent and Sword Qi while having such a messed up body?!"

"That's quite rude of you, to say that I have a messed up body." Su Yang shook his head.

"Anyway, since you have nothing else to show, it's my turn to attack."

Su Yang suddenly began walking towards Lian Li in small and casual steps, looking as though he was taking a stroll in the park.

"Che! Don't underestimate me!" Instead of trying to defend herself, Lian Li actually approached Su Yang in an aggressive manner.

However, before she could even take two steps, the Demon Slaying Sword in Su Yang's grasp suddenly flickered, disappearing for a split second.

The next second, Lian Li felt as though her body suddenly got lighter, causing her to stop moving and look down.

"?!?!?!?"

When Lian Li realized that some of her clothes had been chipped away, revealing her smooth skin, she immediately turned to look at Su Yang with a fuming expression, "W-What do you think you are doing to me, you damn pervert?!"
