"Bah, who wants to be paired with a pig head like you? Get away from me right now, or don't blame me for being merciless with my sword." Ji Ziyue listened to Li Mingqian's slick tone, feeling even more disgusted. She couldn't be bothered to engage further, so she placed her right hand on the hilt of her sword, and a killing intent spread deep within her eyes.
"My dear wife, please don't scare me. I'm really afraid! However, Yueyue, your fierce and spicy demeanor is quite impressive, completely different from those pampered young ladies who only whine about their misfortunes. The Ji Family truly deserves to be named alongside our Li Family as a prestigious clan. How about this, my dear? Since we are about to be married, it wouldn't be appropriate to resort to violence. But as the saying goes, fate brings people together; we are destined to be united. Instead of waiting for tomorrow, why not celebrate our wedding night right here in this town?" Li Mingqian stepped back half a pace, patted his chest, and pretended to be panicked as he laughed.
Upon hearing such frivolous words from him, Ji Ziyue could no longer contain her anger and shouted, "I'll kill you, you fat pig!"
With a whoosh, she unleashed her spirit sword, channeling her family's secret technique. The true essence flowed through the spirit sword, which buzzed and emitted an overwhelming aura as it sliced toward Li Mingqian.
The spirit sword in Ji Ziyue's hand was no ordinary weapon. It was an exquisite spirit sword passed down through the Ji Family for generations, named "Inch Kill."
After her original sword was shattered by Wang Yi, she had been determined to escape the Ji Family and never return. Knowing that wandering in the world would inevitably lead to various dangers, she secretly snuck into the Ji Family's treasure vault before fleeing and took some treasured spirit artifacts and elixirs with her. This unparalleled spirit sword was one of them.
Seeing Ji Ziyue strike down with such force, Li Mingqian remained unfazed and laughed, "Good sword!" He effortlessly sidestepped as Ji Ziyue's angled strike missed its mark. The astonishing energy contained in her sword transformed into a streak of blue light that surged forward.
Rumbling!
With a loud crash, the large stone archway of Sunset Town was instantly split in two by the sword light and flew apart.
The wedding procession that had come with Li Mingqian laughed and gathered around but showed no intention of stepping in to help. They all recognized that Ji Ziyue was merely at the Transcendent Realm stage of cultivation; any one of them could easily defeat her, let alone the Young Master Li Mingqian who was already half a step into the Void Realm.
Among them were three of the most powerful elders of the Li Family. As Li Mingqian and Ji Ziyue exchanged barbs, they had already guessed what this bold and reckless Young Master would do next. They exchanged wry smiles and said, "Why don't we three old fellows go wander off somewhere? Let the young ones handle their own affairs."
With that, the three elders discreetly moved away to a distance, ensuring they could later claim ignorance about any ridiculous actions taken by Li Mingqian.
"My dear wife, just give in to me! After all, we will have our wedding night sooner or later; why not get it over with now? Wouldn't that be delightful?" Li Mingqian grinned as he jumped aside and waved his hand.
"Go die! Even if I were dead, you fat pig wouldn't lay a finger on me!" Ji Ziyue shouted.
Then, like a light dancing butterfly, she gracefully circled around Li Mingqian and unleashed thirty-six strikes aimed at his vital points in an instant. She was using the Ji Family's signature sword technique known as "Azure Flame Phoenix."
Unfortunately, although the sword technique was executed in an instant, she was limited by her own strength and could not unleash the full power of this renowned swordsmanship. If it had been her father Ji Yongtai or her brother Ji Hong using it, Li Mingqian would likely be injured or worse at this moment, rather than smiling arrogantly as he was now.
Surprisingly, Li Mingqian's stout body was incredibly agile, twisting and turning like a slippery fish, dodging each thrust of the sword. However, the Ji Family's famous sword technique "Azure Flame Phoenix" was not just for show; even though Ji Ziyue had not mastered it to a high level, the intense heat contained in the sword had already sliced several openings in Li Mingqian's extravagant clothing.
"My dear wife, your skills are quite impressive, but compared to your husband, you still fall short. I am a man who cherishes women, especially beautiful ones; I cannot allow you to bully those weaker than you. How about this: let you play with my useless subordinates. If you can injure even a hair on them, you can leave; otherwise, you'll have to obediently fulfill your duty with me," Li Mingqian said with a somersault, leaping out of Ji Ziyue's sword range while laughing heartily.
Truly, a master is reflected in their servants. The young men of the Li Family gathered around upon hearing their Young Master's words, laughing and joking: "Young Lady, forgive us; we hope you will show mercy."
"Hehe, Young Lady's swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, but the spirit sword in your hand is truly unparalleled." The implication was that Ji Ziyue's skills were inferior to the extraordinary spirit sword she wielded.
"Young Lady, why not yield to our Young Master? He will certainly treat you well."
Ji Ziyue was innocent and did not understand Li Mingqian's intentions. However, these outstanding youths from the Li Family had followed their Young Master for so long that they knew exactly what he was planning.
Li Mingqian wanted his subordinates to surround Ji Ziyue simply to exhaust her true essence. Once Ji Ziyue's energy was depleted and she became weak and disheartened, he would then come out to "administer justice," apologize, and coax Ji Ziyue into resting at an inn to recover her Vital Energy. At that point, this exceptional woman would surely comply with his every whim.
The disciples of the Li Family surrounded Ji Ziyue with mocking words, hoping to provoke her into using all her strength and exhausting her true essence. Ji Ziyue indeed fell for it; frowning and gritting her teeth, she shouted loudly and elevated the "Azure Flame Phoenix" sword technique by a level. Suddenly, the spirit sword "Inch Kill" vibrated with a buzzing sound. In an instant, a surge of Azure Flame erupted from the blade, sending waves of heat towards the surrounding Li Family disciples. A half-arc of azure light exploded forth, slicing toward them.
"Wow! Young Lady is amazing!"
"How terrifying! Young Lady, if you add just a bit more strength, I will surely be reduced to ashes."
The disciples of the Li Family cried out in alarm and did not dare to be as careless as Li Mingqian; they circulated their true essence to shield themselves under a vast True Qi barrier without retaliating and leaped backward.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With several loud crashes, nearby houses were immediately affected. Under Ji Ziyue's intense fiery energy, they erupted into flames. Fortunately, the residents of these houses had sensed danger early on and quietly slipped out through the back door; otherwise, they would have surely met a tragic end.
The members of the Li Family, who are from a well-known family comparable to the Ji Family, have cultivation levels that surpass that of Ji Ziyue. As long as they are cautious, they will not easily be harmed by Ji Ziyue. After repelling the enemy with a single strike, Ji Ziyue intended to leap away but was unexpectedly blocked by several experts from the Li Family who were at the Transcendent Realm, who quickly leaped into her path while channeling True Qi.
With no other choice, Ji Ziyue had to resort to her previous tactics, swirling her spirit sword into a mass of azure light, unleashing fierce sword energy that scattered and demolished one house after another. The entire Sunset Town was in chaos; those residents who were fortunate enough to survive rushed out of their homes, crying and fleeing for their lives.
To ordinary civilians, cultivators like Ji Ziyue seemed no different from deities. Their battles were beyond what mere ants could contend with.
Strength is revered; this is an eternal truth of the vast universe.
After struggling for a quarter of an hour while operating her profound techniques, Ji Ziyue had already consumed more than half of her Vital Energy. Seeing no hope of escape, she suddenly felt a sense of despair wash over her. She thought to herself, it’s better to die than to fall into the hands of this villain today. Father, brother, please forgive your daughter for being unfilial. I truly do not wish to compromise with this Beastly Prodigal. I will take my leave first; you both take care.
Having made up her mind, Ji Ziyue gritted her teeth and reversed her Inch Kill spirit sword towards her neck.
“Don’t!” The surrounding members of the Li Family, including the previously sneering Li Mingqian, were all taken aback in shock. They never expected Ji Ziyue to be so intense; if she couldn’t win, she couldn’t win—why resort to cutting her throat without a word? They turned pale at the thought. If anything happened to Ji Ziyue in their hands, the Ji Family and Li Family would surely be at odds. Although they were not afraid, provoking a powerful enemy for no reason would result in severe punishment from their family.
Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, they wanted to save Ji Ziyue from under the sword but had no time to react.
At that critical moment, two powerful beams of red True Qi suddenly shot from a corner—one aimed at the spirit sword in Ji Ziyue's hand and the other at Li Mingqian's heart as he rushed toward Ji Ziyue in panic.
Li Mingqian abruptly looked up and saw a tall man dressed in plain white clothing that appeared quite ordinary; yet from his unremarkable aura emanated a kingly dominance. “Who are you?”
Wang Yi moved with heavy steps and swiftly passed by Li Mingqian without leaving a trace, too fast for anyone to see.
In an instant, he reached Ji Ziyue's side and looked at her saying, “Sister, did I owe you something in my past life?” He took Ji Ziyue's hand and helped her stand beside him.
Ji Ziyue felt a flush on her face; her hand had never been held by any man before.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here!” Wang Yi sensed the tremor in Ji Ziyue's palm and spoke gently while keeping his grip firm.
Everyone was stunned.
"Let go of the Young Lady's hand!"
"You have no right to touch her hand!" The subordinates of the Li Family said this, but deep down they were envious of Wang Yi. Who had the luck to hold Ji Ziyue's soft and slender hands?
Li Mingqian was so angry he felt like he might vomit blood. He glared at Wang Yi with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to kill him. His fiancée was being held by a strange man, and he felt like he was wearing a huge green hat. How could he not be furious?
He stepped forward with heavy footsteps, unable to endure such humiliation. He decided he would eliminate Wang Yi!
"Who are you! Let go of your hand, or I will definitely kill you!" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the temperature around him drop suddenly. A flash of blue light surged toward him, and with a roar, that blue light transformed into a giant dragon in an instant!
Li Mingqian was stunned. He shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind! When he opened his eyes again, he saw Wang Yi's hand clawing toward him like a dragon's claw. Li Mingqian wanted to dodge, but his speed was too slow.
With a rumble, Dragon Roar erupted. The True Qi quietly spread out, causing dust to rise from the ground!
With a few thuds, Li Mingqian fell to the ground. His eyes were dazed, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. Then he stood up, his eyes filled with venomous glare and even more resentment.
At that moment, he clearly saw that Wang Yi had not let go of Ji Ziyue's hand.
