On the morning of the first day of the new year, a thin mist gently surrounded the City Lord's Mansion, covering this solemn residence with a hazy veil.

In the courtyard, the morning light was just breaking, and the cold light of the two swords was looming in the mist, like two lightning bolts breaking the silence.

Jiang Wan, wearing a plain morning gown, walked lightly through the winding corridors, and was drawn into the courtyard by the sound of swords.

She stopped and looked through the veil-like mist to see the tall figures of Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou on the roof, each holding a sword, like the most dazzling two stars between heaven and earth.

Ren Chenxi was wearing tight clothes, and the Emperor Sword was flowing in his hand. Every time he swung the sword, there was a sound of wind and thunder. When the sword flashed, there seemed to be the roar of dragons and tigers, and it was magnificent.

Xia Yurou, on the other hand, was wearing a light blue dress that swayed in the wind, and her Fengming sword danced lightly. The sword shadows intertwined, and the crisp sword sounds blended with her figure. She was elegant yet sharp, like a phoenix soaring into the sky with its wings spread.

Jiang Wan's heart tightened, mistakenly thinking that the prince was bullying Yu Rou. She tapped her toes coldly and arrogantly, and her clothes fluttered as a dark energy that could not be ignored surged out of her body.

Just as she was about to help, a gentle voice sounded from the side, interrupting Jiang Wan's actions.

"Wait! You must not affect the prince and princess."

Liu Qingyun stood under the corridor at some point, with a dignified look but also a kind expression, and stopped his granddaughter's impulse.

The sword momentum of the two men has quietly changed, and beneath the fierce confrontation there is a sign of resonance between heaven and earth. It is obvious that it is no longer a simple sparring, but they have reached a new level in martial arts. In the eyes of others, they are just fighting.

When Xiaoxue rushed to the courtyard and saw this thrilling fight, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The soft whip in her hand gently tapped her palms, and her anxious eyes jumped back and forth between the prince and the princess, fearing that either of them would be injured.

"Miss! Your Majesty! What are you doing..."

She was so anxious that her voice changed, but she didn't dare to get too close, for fear that her rash intervention would ruin things.

The second lady behind him walked forward with a smile on her face, gently patted Xiaoxue's shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't worry, maybe this is the husband and wife's interest. We can't intervene, so just wait and see what happens."

Dong Yuhong raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Hanhan is already a month old. This couple is really capable of making trouble."

Xiaoxue did not relax because of their words. She anxiously pulled Dong Yuhong's sleeve and said, "Miss Dong, look how fiercely the prince and the young lady are fighting. What if..."

Dong Yuhong and Sun Erniang looked at each other, both of them were shocked. It looked like they were not practicing sword skills for the fun of husband and wife, but more like a life-and-death fight.

The sparks from the collision of the sword tips flickered in the morning light, and the air waves stirred up by the sword intent were as brilliant and dangerous as falling stars.

Er Niang lowered her voice in disbelief and said to Dong Yuhong: "Are these two really serious? Do you want to…"

Before she finished speaking, Dong Yuhong had already anxiously shaken her head, her brows full of worry: "If we go up there with our limited martial arts skills, not only will we not be able to help, we may even become a burden to the princess. Don't be anxious, observe for a while before making any plans."

Jiang Wan was furious at this moment. She stared at the two people fighting fiercely and shouted, "My Lord, if you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I, Jiang Wan, will never let you go."

If grandpa hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed forward.

Liu Qingyun gently pressed Wan'er's shoulders and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, they know their limits. Without experiencing despair, how can they realize the realm beyond the Grandmaster?"

After saying that, he flashed and arrived at the battle circle.

A green aura lingered around his body, and as his sleeves fluttered, gusts of wind blew up, each breeze containing power that could shake mountains, and he headed straight for Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou.

Ren Chenxi was bathed in brilliant golden light. Every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar. The sword light seemed to be able to tear apart space, fully demonstrating the terrifying power of the Dragon Emperor.

A dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Xia Yurou's body, and her pure Heavenly Phoenix body was fully displayed at this moment.

The Fengming Sword drew a gorgeous arc in the air. Every strike contained the might of the Phoenix Dancing in the Sky. Wherever the tip of the sword reached, a streak of scorching light was left in the air.

Under Liu Qingyun's powerful pressure, the couple not only did not retreat, but instead their inner fighting spirit was further stimulated.

The Emperor Sword and the Phoenix Sword let out a deafening roar in the dangerous situation of fighting against the Grand Master. The powerful air waves seemed to tear the surroundings apart and were almost on the verge of collapse.

Dong Yuhong frowned, looking towards the center of the intersecting sword lights, muttering to herself, "Why is City Lord Liu so inconsiderate of the safety of his juniors that he joins in the nonsense?"

Xiaoxue was so anxious that she tugged at Jiang Wan's sleeve and said in a panic, "Miss Jiang, please try to persuade the city lord!"

Jiang Wan's eyes never left the fiercely fighting figures. Although her face was cold, she was also very worried about the safety of the princess.

"Grandpa must have his own plans for doing this. Let's just watch the battle calmly and don't be distracted by the scene in front of us. Maybe there is a deeper meaning behind it."

Liu Qingyun walked in the air, his figure graceful like a fairy, with a bright green light all around him. An illusory green dragon circled out from above his head, and the dragon's roar shook the sky, interweaving with the ringing of swords in the fierce battle below to form a symphony of heaven and earth.

Ren Chenxi was covered in dazzling golden light, like a dragon king descending to the earth, and an illusory golden dragon was hovering above his body.

The dragon's body was wrapped in the sword light of the Emperor's Sword, accompanied by the dragon's roar that could tear everything apart. It finally released the power to destroy the world, as if it could cut off all the constraints in the world.

Xia Yurou's body was enveloped in a layer of soft white light, within that light was a holy phoenix that was flapping its wings behind her, ready to fly. Its wings spread out, bringing up gusts of breeze. The phoenix's cry was crisp and pleasant, complementing her sword moves. Every strike was like a phoenix's rebirth, leaving behind a brilliant trail of light wherever the sword tip passed.

The aura of the three people reached its peak at this moment, and it seemed as if there were only the three of them and endless sword intent between heaven and earth.

Liu Qingyun closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath of the cool morning air. The green light around him suddenly retracted and turned into a thin stream that gathered in the palm of his hand. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light shot out of his eyes, as if he could see through the mysteries of all things in the world.

He clasped his hands together, then suddenly opened them. A green tornado whizzed out from his palms and headed straight for Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou. Its force was so strong that the space was slightly distorted.

The couple looked at each other, and saw Ren Chenxi roaring towards the sky. The Emperor's Sword surrounded by golden dragons trembled suddenly, and the tip of the sword pointed to the sky, as if communicating with heaven and earth. Then the sword body burst into an unprecedented bright golden light, merging with the golden dragon in the sky, and turning into golden lightning to meet the green tornado.

Xia Yurou held the sword with both hands and raised the Fengming Sword above her head. With her clear whistle, the White Phoenix instantly turned into a torrent of extremely pure flames, and together with the golden lightning, they resisted the fierce green tornado.

Following the earth-shaking collision, it seemed as if a terrifying force tore the heaven and earth apart, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the sky above the City Lord's Mansion as bright as day.

Liu Qingyun's figure flickered slightly in the air, and the green light around him became more condensed. It was obvious that in this life-and-death confrontation, his cultivation had broken through to the middle stage of the Grandmaster realm! The powerful aura made the surroundings tremble.

The same goes for Ren Chenxi and Xia Yurou. Although they failed to break through to the unattainable peak realm of the Grandmaster, they both reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm at the same time!

As that shocking confrontation came to an end, the City Lord’s Mansion was still filled with the lingering sound of the dragon and phoenix singing in harmony.

Ren Chenxi's golden dragon phantom did not dissipate, but instead wrapped around his body. The dragon scales sparkled in the morning light, and each scale seemed to contain the power of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.

The blade of the Emperor Sword trembled slightly, emitting bursts of dragon roars, resonating with the golden dragon, forming a magnificent picture of the Dragon King protecting his master.

Bai Feng slowly merged into Xia Yurou's body, with flames still flickering in her eyes. The holy aura she carried made her like a fairy from the sky, stunning and noble.
