Chapter 176 The Sister-Obsessed Invitation to the Moon! Yan Nantian!
Even with Mingyu Gong pushed to its limit, the immense suction force binding her remained unchanged, and Yaoyue could only watch helplessly as she drew closer and closer to Chu Yang.
When the two were only a foot apart, a new palm strike suddenly appeared and hit Chu Yang.
Chu Yang waved his hand to block, interrupting the palm strike, and at the same time, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance was also interrupted.
Having regained control of her body, Yaoyue took several steps in the air, immediately distancing herself from Chu Yang, and looked at him with lingering fear.
And a beautiful figure appeared beside her.
The newcomer was tall and had a cool and aloof demeanor, like the moon, but her eyes were gentle, like a pitiful little deer. Her whole body was slightly tilted to the left, as if she had a disability.
After saving Yaoyue, Ziguang's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Feng.
"Lianxing, didn't I tell you to stay in Yihua Palace? Why did you come out? You're so disobedient!"
Yaoyue, who was several heads shorter than Lianxing, reprimanded her, making the scene somewhat comical. When the two stood together, she looked more like the younger sister.
"Sister, I'm feeling uneasy, that's why I came out to look for you."
Lianxing withdrew her gaze from Jiang Feng and said to Yaoyue with a dejected expression, "Let's go back. I don't want to get entangled with you anymore."
Yaoyue gritted her teeth and said, "No! We can't let that heartless man who hurt you get away with this so easily! Today, no matter what, we'll make him pay!"
Lianxing smiled bitterly, "It's just unrequited love on my part, how can you call him a heartless man?"
Yaoyue said indignantly, "That guy was injured by his enemies and was on the verge of death, but you took care of him without taking off your clothes. Otherwise, how could he be standing here alive and kicking?"
"He was flirting with you while he was recovering from his injuries; he clearly had feelings for you, yet he dared to elope with a lowly maid!"
"Ungrateful bastards deserve to die!"
Lianxing hesitated, looking up at Jiang Feng. In truth, she was not resigned to her fate.
Jiang Feng knew that if he didn't make things clear today, the matter wouldn't end well, so he clasped his hands and said, "Grand Palace Master, I once had feelings for the Second Palace Master, but it was only for a short time. The person I truly love is Yue Nu, and from now on, I will only love her."
Upon hearing this, Yaoyue was furious and raised her hand to slap him, but Lianxing grabbed her hand forcefully. She had no choice but to snort and shake her hand off.
"You ever liked me?" Lianxing asked cautiously, her voice filled with surprise. "Then why didn't you like me anymore?"
Jiang Feng hesitated before speaking, "The Second Palace Master is of noble status, and Jiang Feng dares not presume to presume upon her—"
Lianxing said firmly, "I want to hear the truth!"
Jiang Feng sighed, "You and Palace Mistress Yaoyue are like celestial maidens who don't eat the food of mortals, without a trace of human warmth, your personalities are like cold sculptures, without any desire whatsoever—"
"I like living, breathing people who can cry and laugh, who are flesh and blood. Yue Nu is such a woman."
Lianxing's body trembled. Sincere words are more like sharp blades than lies, and they hurt more. Her personality was innate; no one taught her how to live like an ordinary person.
She really wanted to tell Jiang Feng that she would change, but when she saw the child in Hua Yuenü's arms, she was completely stunned and couldn't say a word.
Yaoyue saw Lianxing's expression clearly, and her anger towards Jiang Feng intensified. She couldn't help but roar, "How could you, you heartless man, bear to hurt her again and again!"
The sister-complex version of Yaoyue is terrifying!
Chu Yang silently complained to himself, then shook his head and said, "Palace Mistress Yaoyue, since Brother Jiang has already made himself so clear, why are you being so pushy? Even if you force someone to do something against their will, will the parties involved necessarily be happy?"
"You may disregard Brother Jiang's feelings, but you should at least respect your sister's thoughts."
Yaoyue's eyes widened. "What's it to you?!"
Chu Yang laughed and said, "I'm only willing to reason with people when I'm in a good mood. I advise you to be nice to me when I'm being reasonable, otherwise you won't be able to reason with me when I'm in a bad mood."
Inviting the Moon sneered, "You only know a few unorthodox skills. You think you can fool me? I was careless just now. If you're so capable, let's have another fight!"
Just then, the ice mist demon at Yaoyue's feet, which was not quite dead yet, was revived after absorbing the icy true essence of Mingyu Gong.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yaoyue was distracted, it suddenly attacked her. As long as it could absorb Yaoyue's blood, flesh and true essence, it could not only heal its injuries, but also greatly enhance its abilities.
Sensing the killing intent behind her, Yaoyue turned around abruptly, but she was still a step too late!
"elder sister!"
Lianxing cried out in alarm, only able to watch helplessly as the Ice Mist Demon mercilessly attacked Yaoyue.
In their despair, the sound of swords echoed in their ears, and time seemed to stand still. Chu Yang walked over slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Under Yaoyue's shocked gaze, Chu Yang slowly walked past her, then formed a sword with his fingers and shattered the Ice Mist Demon's body with a single strike.
Sword Twenty-Three.
Chu Yang had cultivated for a long time, and his realm had long surpassed that of the Sword Saint at that time. The power of Sword Twenty-Three in his hands was also different from what it used to be.
When the Ice Mist Demon was completely dead, the frozen scene resumed its flow. Yaoyue and the others gasped for breath. During the brief pause, the sword energy and killing intent emanating from Chu Yang had made them feel suffocated.
Chu Yang glanced at Yao Yue out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Are you sure you want to fight me again?"
"You—" Yaoyue's face turned ashen. She wasn't stupid. Wasn't everything that had just happened enough to demonstrate Chu Yang's level of swordsmanship?
This is a monster!
Seeing this, Lianxing walked up to Yaoyue and separated her from Chuyang. Then she politely said to Chuyang, "This matter was caused by me, and I have no intention of getting entangled with Jiang Feng any further. Let's just let it go."
Chu Yang nodded.
Unexpectedly, Yaoyue pulled Lianxing back and said relentlessly, "Who said we'd give up? Jiang Feng hurt your feelings, you can't just leave like this. I'm going to fight this scoundrel to the death today. Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"
Yaoyue glared angrily at Chu Yang, her neck stiff as if to say, "Go ahead and chop me here if you dare."
"That's outrageous!"
Chu Yang clicked his tongue. He wasn't afraid of a proper fight, but he was having a bit of a headache dealing with Yao Yue's tantrums.
Jiang Feng whispered a few words to Hua Yuenü, and then walked towards Lianxing's location.
As he drew closer, Lianxing's breathing became rapid.
"What do you want to do?"
Yaoyue looked at him warily.
"To be honest, I, Jiang Feng, am not innocent in today's calamity. It is a fact that I had feelings for the Second Palace Master. The First Palace Master said that I am a heartless man, and Jiang Feng cannot refute that."
"Today I am willing to accept a slap from the Second Palace Mistress, and all grudges will be wiped clean. What do you say?"
Jiang Feng said these words with the awareness that he was about to die.
Lianxing's Mingyu Gong skill is only one level lower than Yaoyue's, making her a top-tier expert in the world. For Jiang Feng, with his current level, to be struck by her palm is practically tantamount to courting death.
"At least you're a man!"
Yaoyue turned her head to the side, her attitude softening somewhat.
If Jiang Feng just hides behind Chu Yang like this, she won't be able to do anything about him.
Jiang Feng dared to confront Lianxing directly, which shows a level of responsibility that surpasses many others. No wonder Lianxing likes him.
"There's no need for that—"
Lianxing shook her head. Although Jiang Feng had broken her heart, how could she bring herself to hurt him?
"Please grant my request, Second Palace Master."
Jiang Feng bowed deeply, his attitude resolute.
Lianxing's eyes welled up with tears, her face filled with sorrow. She then delivered a light but firm slap to Jiang Feng's shoulder, sending him flying back to Hua Yuenü's feet.
"Jiang Lang!"
Hua Yuenü wept, tears streaming down her face, and bent down to check Jiang Feng's injuries.
"I'm fine, Second Palace Master showed mercy."
Jiang Feng forced a smile, trying to comfort his wife.
"Let's go, sister."
With red eyes, Lianxing turned her back, not wanting to see this scene.
"I'll let you off this time, but next time we meet, let's see if this brat will still be there to protect you!"
Yaoyue was about to leave after uttering harsh words when a burst of energy suddenly slammed into her buttocks, causing her to cry out in pain as she glared fiercely at Chu Yang.
"If you keep calling me 'brat' like that, I'll spank you until your butt is raw. You'll see."
Chu Yang chuckled and warned Yao Yue without any mercy.
Yaoyue was so angry she was about to go crazy, and was almost ready to fight Chuyang to the death, but Lianxing dragged her away!
After the two left, Li Gexiao let out a long sigh and said with emotion, "What a relentless and crazy woman. If it weren't for the young master being here, she might have eaten him alive."
Chu Yang kicked out, but Li Gexiao nimbly dodged. He said irritably, "You call yourself an old hand? Provoking her time and time again, as if you're afraid she won't dare to go on a killing spree?"
Li Ge chuckled and said, "Isn't it because Young Master is here? Normally, I wouldn't waste so much time talking. Being able to gain a few advantages in front of Palace Master Yaoyue is so prestigious.
"Hurry up and recover your strength. If you're still this useless next time something happens, then get out of here and stop mooching off me."
Chu Yang rolled his eyes.
"We've become estranged, haven't we? We're practically brothers, aren't we? Back in the day, we were the infamous 'Two Useless Men of Beijing'—"
Li Gexiao looked on with a melancholy expression as he reminisced about the past.
"Just keep pretending to be crazy!"
Chu Yang shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
Li Gexiao's mental state has changed significantly compared to before, which means that he is breaking through his inner demons and his martial arts cultivation will definitely improve when it is restored.
With the demons vanquished and Yaoyue and Lianxing gone, the temperature in the deserted village gradually returned to normal. After a night of turmoil, and with dawn fast approaching, everyone could only hurry to rest.
As a golden sea of clouds appeared on the horizon and the sun rose in the east, another figure appeared outside the deserted village.
The man was over eight feet tall. Although his face was thin, he had broad bones, wide shoulders, and long, narrow arms, and his appearance was quite imposing.
With thick eyebrows, large eyes, prominent cheekbones, and a pair of tiger-like eyes that gleamed with a terrifying light, he exuded an imposing aura.
It was none other than the greatest swordsman in the world—Yan Nantian.
He had arranged a time and place with Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng hadn't come for a long time. He thought his sworn brother might have had an accident on the way, so he rushed over without stopping.
Passing through a deserted village, Yan Nantian, a sword cultivator, was drawn to the dense sword energy there and stopped to carefully explore his surroundings.
Who would have thought that he would find his sworn brother Jiang Feng in this deserted village!
The two brothers were overjoyed to be reunited after a long separation. Yan Nantian first accompanied Jiang Feng to meet his sister-in-law, Hua Yuenü, and her two children before sitting down to listen to Jiang Feng recount the events of the past few days.
Upon hearing that Jiang Feng had encountered the Twelve Constellations, the most ruthless bandits in the martial arts world, as well as Yaoyue, the mistress of the Yihua Palace, Yan Nantian broke out in a cold sweat, filled with lingering fear.
"It's all my fault for arriving too late; I don't even know how you escaped, my dear brother—"
Yan Nantian felt both guilty and curious. This was almost a dead end. How did Jiang Feng manage to escape danger?
Jiang Feng and his wife exchanged a smile.
"My dear brother, you've met an incredibly kind person on the road!"
When Jiang Feng recounted how Chu Yang had killed the Twelve Constellations and defeated the Palace Master of the Inviting Moon Palace, Yan Nantian was immediately filled with shock.
He knew he could eliminate the two star signs by himself, but it wouldn't be as easy as Jiang Feng said, let alone defeat the Palace Master of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue.
Before he had mastered the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, he could only use his self-created Divine Sword Technique to deal with Yaoyue, who was at the ninth level of the Bright Jade Skill. As for the outcome, it was hard to predict.
"Such an extraordinary person, could you please introduce me to him, my worthy brother?"
Yan Nantian is a great hero and a martial arts fanatic obsessed with swordsmanship. If he missed such a powerful master, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Brother, come with me."
Jiang Feng got up and led Yan Nantian to the thatched hut where Chu Yang was.
At this moment, Li Gexiao and the wolfhound were guarding outside the house.
Yan Nantian was startled when he saw the enormous wolfhound from afar, and then even more startled when he saw Li Gexiao's appearance. He cried out, "Lord Li!"
Li Gexiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked at Yan Nantian. He said in surprise, "Hero Yan, what are you doing here?"
"Jiang Feng is my sworn brother, I've come to pick him up!" Yan Nantian strode up to Li Gexiao, naturally placing his hands on the other's arms, and said excitedly, "After so many years apart, I never thought we'd meet again!"
Li Gexiao was equally excited. He took a few deep breaths and laughed loudly, "I never expected to see you here. We really are destined to meet. It's no wonder we're friends."
Seeing the two so excited, Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, how did you meet Hero Li?"
"We already knew each other before we became sworn brothers."
Yan Nantian laughed loudly: "In my early years, before my martial arts were fully developed, I entered the world to fight for justice and was trapped in a demon town. I almost died. At that time, Lord Li was still a commander of a thousand households and Brother Zuo was still a commander of a hundred households. They saved my life when they passed by the demon town. In the end, the three of us worked together to kill several great demons. That battle was really gratifying."
Li Gexiao was lost in memories, a smile spreading across his face.
Jiang Feng continued, "And who is Brother Zuo?"
Yan Nantian explained with a proud expression, "Brother Zuo has a nickname in the martial arts world: Commander Zuo!"
Jiang Feng exclaimed in surprise, "It's that Commander Zuo, who's skilled at slaying demons and monsters!"
Li Ge smiled and nodded, "It's him. He'll be promoted to Garrison Commander soon, no longer a Thousand-Household Commander."
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "You were already a commander of a thousand when you first met my elder brother. Now that so many years have passed, you should be about to become a commander, right?"
Li Gexiao shook his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "I once served as the Deputy Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but I was dismissed from my post many years ago—"
Yan Nantian was shocked to hear this. He had always thought that Li Gexiao had become a high-ranking official, but he never expected that the other party would be dismissed from his post.
Because Li Gexiao's affair involved the emperor, not many people knew about it.
"How could such a good official as Lord Li be dismissed? There must be some injustice involved. If Lord Li trusts me, you might as well tell me the truth."
Yan Nantian's tiger-like eyes widened, revealing a fierce aura, as if he wanted to immediately avenge Li Gexiao.
