My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

After saying her piece, the old woman spotted the Heaven-Slaying Sword in Chu Feng’s hand, and her rage intensified.

"Heh. Then why don’t you give it a try?" Chu Feng retorted with a cold laugh, amused by the old woman before him.

’How dare she be so arrogant and unreasonable in front of me? She’s really poking the bear.’

However, Chu Feng could sense that this woman was incredibly strong, likely at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm.

But would Chu Feng be afraid? He was at the Mid-stage Core Formation Realm and could even release his Spiritual Power externally.

"Die! Don’t think you’re invincible just because you’ve reached the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm. Let me tell you, there’s always a bigger fish in the sea. Today is the day you die!" the old woman declared arrogantly.

"You old hag, aren’t you being a little too unreasonable? Did I do anything to provoke you? You show up out of nowhere and want to kill me. What I’ve inherited is none of your damn business!" Chu Feng was getting angry.

The woman was being completely unreasonable, just tearing into him for no reason. Anyone in his shoes would have been just as upset.

"Did you or did you not obtain the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor’s inheritance?" the old woman demanded.

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor? Yeah, I did. So what? You have a grudge against him or something? You could’ve just said so. I have no connection to him," Chu Feng said, exasperated.

"No connection? Cut the crap! Isn’t that Heaven-Slaying Sword in your hand the sword of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor?" The old woman’s eyes were practically shooting fire as she glared at the Heaven-Slaying Sword in Chu Feng’s hand.

Snow drifted through the air on this pitch-black night. Streetlights surrounded the clearing, casting a dim light upon the scene.

Chu Feng said calmly, "The Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor has been dead for who knows how many years. Look at my age. How could I possibly have any connection to him?"

"You obtained the Heaven-Slaying Sword and its inheritance, and now you’re telling me you’re not the successor to the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor? Stop spewing nonsense! Eat my sword!" the old woman snarled, thrusting her sword forward without another word.

WHOOSH—

The Sword Qi howled through the pitch-black night sky with a piercing shriek.

The old woman may have looked ancient, but she fought with the ferocity of a beast.

After all, she was a Cultivator at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm; of course she wasn’t weak.

"Old hag, don’t push your luck! You want to test me? Then I’ll be happy to oblige. But you want to kill me with your paltry skills? You’re not even close to being qualified!" Chu Feng wasted no more words, drawing his Heaven-Slaying Sword and striking back.

CLANG!

The two swords collided, instantly producing a crisp ringing sound.

Their swords clashed again and again, Sword Qi flaring and sparks flying with each impact.

Chu Feng unleashed the Taiqing Sword Technique, executing a horizontal slash that sent a whistling arc of light through the air.

When it came to pure Sword Skill, Chu Feng was admittedly a cut below the old woman.

As a result, when they exchanged blows, Chu Feng held no advantage in terms of Sword Skill; in fact, he was even at a slight disadvantage.

"You little bastard, you’re dead! If you tell me where the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor is buried, I might let you keep your miserable life!" the old woman said, her face a mask of arrogance.

"You old hag, the man’s been dead for years! Why would I tell you where he’s buried? So you can dig him up and desecrate his remains? You’re a vicious one! Don’t push your luck!" Chu Feng’s face darkened, rage boiling within him.

Chu Feng’s words infuriated the old woman; she felt as if her lungs were about to explode with rage.

Though she was indeed old, hearing Chu Feng repeatedly call her "old hag" made her deeply resentful, and her anger continued to mount.

"You little bastard, go to hell!" The old woman became even more ferocious, her face contorting with rage.

Women, no matter their age, are always happier the younger people make them sound.

"Celestial Sword Technique!" The old woman suddenly switched her Sword Skill, and her strikes became far more deadly.

In the blink of an eye, the longsword in the old woman’s hand was at Chu Feng’s throat, moving so fast that he almost failed to react.

Fortunately, his Divine Soul was powerful enough to sense the impending crisis, allowing him to dodge just in time.

Otherwise, that single strike would have pierced straight through his neck.

After dodging, Chu Feng quickly struck out with his Heaven-Slaying Sword.

PING!

His blade knocked the old woman’s longsword aside.

"The Celestial Sword Technique... You’re from the Celestial Sword Sect?" Chu Feng exclaimed in surprise, having recognized her technique.

He hadn’t been taking her too seriously before and hadn’t expected the old woman to be so malicious.

"Hah, so you little bastard have heard of my Celestial Sword Sect. But even if you have, you still must die!" The old woman lunged again with her sword.

However, while Chu Feng was angry, he wasn’t particularly worried.

"Heh, do you really think I’m such a pushover?" Chu Feng sneered.

With that, he erupted, his combat power suddenly skyrocketing.

The old woman, it turned out, was also nearly at the Mid-stage Core Formation Realm. That, combined with her masterful Sword Skill, was why she had been able to suppress him until now.

But if Chu Feng were to truly unleash his power, the old woman would be no match for him.
