The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

Zhai Rong pouted, "I sometimes slip up..."

Yan Feng grabbed her wrist and used the shared consciousness imprint of the Xuan Tian Sect to scan her entire body's meridians. Only then did he discover that her spiritual power was less than 30%, and his handsome face immediately darkened.

"how so?!"

She was in much better shape when we last parted ways.

His eyes narrowed, and recalling the rumors he had overheard on the street that she was about to become the regent's wife, his expression visibly worsened.

"Was it because you were with that regent that your fate was damaged?"

Zhai Rongyu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, senior brother has misunderstood."

"It has nothing to do with Ah Xu."

Yan Feng looked at her with suspicion, "You've seen your master?"

Zhai Rong nodded, but knew that now was not the right time to explain, while Suo was still watching intently from the side.

She composed herself.

"Senior brother, I'll explain after we deal with this gray-robed man."

Yan Feng stopped asking questions, and the two of them looked at Suo Ze together.

Suo Ze's sinister eyes swept over Yan Feng, sizing him up and down.

"You cultivate fire-based magic, which is naturally incompatible with our dragon clan. I was caught off guard when I transformed into my true form, which is why I was at a disadvantage."

"Don't get too cocky and think I can't handle you!"

Yan Feng chuckled, flames condensing in his palm, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. "So confident, huh?"

"Then let's try it!"

The scorching flames rushed towards Suoze, who extended his bone sword to wrap the flames around it, twisting them into an even more intense ball of spiritual power, and then swung it back at Yanfeng.

Yan Feng hadn't expected the bone sword to be so powerful, able to catch his crimson flames. Caught off guard, he barely managed to dodge, and a few sparks landed on his robes, burning a charred hole in his fiery red cloak.

A sinister smile crept into Suo's eyes.

Hua Ying leaned against the shadows of the corridor, her gaze falling on Yan Feng's face, and she let out a soft scoff.

"A megalomaniac."

Last time, I underestimated her, and that's why she stabbed me in the back.

Unexpectedly, even after using spiritual power, I still made the same mistake.

This person really doesn't learn from their mistakes.

The night breeze carried her whispers to Yan Feng's ears. He twitched his ears and caught sight of the shadowy figure under the eaves. His brows furrowed suddenly.

His arrogant face was tinged with a hint of anger.

is her.

He suddenly ripped off his cloak, and with a flick of his palm, a leaping flame instantly licked the cloak into ashes.

"Heh, I didn't expect you to have some ability." He looked at Suo Ze, a cold smile curling up on his wicked face.

Though the words were spoken carelessly, one could hear the hidden anger within them.

Soe curled his lips in disdain.

"I told you, your victory just now was just an accident."

"I am the strongest warrior of the Jiaolong clan. I have killed countless gods, demons and monsters to reach my current position as the Guardian."

"How could someone as insignificant as you be easily dealt with!"

Yan Feng looked up at the bone sword in his hand as if he had heard a joke. "If it weren't for this sword, you would have been burned to death by me long ago."

"Does he really think he's got some nerve?"

He became serious, and quickly formed hand seals, drawing a flame rune in the air.

"Blazing Soul Sword!"

As the stern voice fell, the hands that had been intertwined at the center of his brow opened to the sides, and the burning flames seemed to come alive, leaping and swirling in the air, gradually condensing into a fiery red sword that emitted a dazzling golden-red hue.

Hua Ying, who had been leaning against the pillar, slowly straightened up and stared at him without blinking.

Yan Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils blazing with an unstoppable fire.

He reached out and gripped the sword hilt, a carefree smile playing on his lips. "If we fight now, I'm giving you some face!"

The scorching sword energy surged and pressed towards Suo Ze.

Zhai Rong quickly formed a hand seal again, covering the entire courtyard.

[Just kidding, if Senior Brother unleashes the Blazing Soul Sword and doesn't create a barrier, everything within a hundred miles will be burned to ashes!]

Suo Ze's eyes turned icy cold as he channeled his spiritual power into the bone sword. The gray-white blade instantly emitted a faint, cold light as it hurtled towards Yan Feng.

The two figures quickly intertwined.

Suo swung his bone sword, instantly unleashing a chilling storm. The sword energy vibrated, almost freezing Yan Feng in place.

Yan Feng frowned and roared, "Crimson Dragon Dance!"

He plunged the Blazing Soul Sword into the void, and soared into the air following the sword's intent. In an instant, a huge fire dragon roared and charged toward Soze.

Although Soze reacted quickly, he was still hit by the fire dragon.

The cold light on the bone sword was instantly swallowed up, and Suo was forced back several steps by the sword energy.

Before he could react, Yan Feng gripped the hilt of his sword again and unleashed several scorching sword energies at Suo Ze.

The bone sword fell, revealing several charred wounds on his body.

Suo clutched his chest and slashed backward with a palm strike to avoid falling to the ground.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face growing increasingly cold and stern. "If it weren't for the barrier suppressing the battle today, you might not have won."

He pointed at Zhai Rongyu and said to Yan Feng, "You and this girl are from the same sect. Her barrier does not suppress your cultivation, but it can suppress mine."

"You didn't win honorably."

Yan Feng almost laughed out of anger, "If you lost, you lost, why all the nonsense?"

So sneered, "If we have the chance to fight at sea, I will definitely defeat you!"

His gaze fell on Zhai Rongyu, and his chilling voice was particularly terrifying, "If you're so capable, then keep an eye on her."

"I have issued a kill order, and the people of the Dragon Palace will surely harass her relentlessly. I hope you will have such good luck next time!"

With a flick of his sleeve, he vanished from the spot.

Zhai Rongyu removed the barrier and softly fell backward.

[I've been here for so long, and my mental strength has never been this low.]

This is bad...

Hua Ying quickly flew forward and caught her.

"Sister Huaying." Zhai Rongyu leaned against her and pouted.

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng turned around and saw that Zhai Rongyu was extremely weak. He anxiously took two steps forward and asked, "Ayu, are you alright?"

"You've met your master, so you should know where he is. I'll take you to him!"

He then reached out to help Zhai Rongyu up.

"No need, Senior Brother. This is just a minor injury; I'll recover after some rest," Zhai Rongyu politely declined.

Master has just gone on a pilgrimage and won't be back anytime soon.

"How can this be called a minor injury?" Yan Feng was dissatisfied and was about to pull her away, but Hua Ying waved her arm away.

She said coldly, "The master will send his people himself; he doesn't need you."

"Your master's person?" Yan Feng looked up at her, his tone somewhat dangerous. "What is your master's relationship with her?"

"Ayu is my junior sister. We grew up together since childhood, so she's naturally closer to me than your so-called lousy master!"

Hua Ying's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she retorted with a hint of disdain.

"The bond of kinship is naturally not as strong as that of husband and wife."

"You!" Yan Feng almost jumped up.

He reached out to pull Zhai Rongyu, but Hua Ying brushed him away again.

He reached out again, but was once again brushed aside.

Zhai Rongyu pressed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

These two seem like sworn enemies.

Could you please respect me as a patient and give me some peace and quiet...?
