The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

As Li Zhixuan lunged with his sword, Zhang Jun blocked with his Two-Handed Warhammer, positioning himself in front of Feng You.

Feng You's figure flashed, and he reappeared at Li Zhixuan's side. A sinister smile touched his lips as the True Fire in his hand condensed into a hundred-foot-long Fire Dragon. With a shift of his Hand Technique, the Fire Dragon instantly charged toward Li Zhixuan.

It was a simple two-on-one tactic. No matter how powerful Li Zhixuan was, he would be severely constrained and unable to unleash his full strength.

Just then, BOOM! A clap of thunder exploded. It wasn't from Zhang Jun, but from Chen Dong—the one Feng You had dismissed.

A bluish-purple light materialized before the Fire Dragon. A Thunder Spear descended from the sky, instantly splitting the Fire Dragon in two.

Feng You froze for a moment, then his eyes filled with rage. He roared through clenched teeth, "You're courting death!"

How dare an ant challenge his authority!!!

Seeing Feng You occupied, Li Zhixuan didn't hesitate for a second. He immediately used a Secret Technique. His eyes closed and reopened, his pupils dilating as he entered the "Void Forgetfulness" state. His azure Spirit Sword instantly multiplied into thousands of copies. He was simultaneously using the Daoist Scripture of Void Forgetfulness, the Void Sword Technique, and the Void Forgetfulness state.

Zhang Jun's heart leaped. 'Why is he using his ultimate move right from the start?' Left with no choice, he gritted his teeth and unleashed his full power as well.

"ARGHHH!!" With a furious roar, a bolt of Celestial Thunder descended and coiled around Zhang Jun's body. His hair stood on end from rage, each strand of his short blue hair as rigid as a steel needle. Lightning crackled and sizzled all over him, and his Two-Handed Warhammer was also wreathed in thunder.

Thousands of Spirit Swords continuously attacked Zhang Jun at extreme speed. Some attacks were dense with killing intent, others flickered with nimble grace. Some were illusory and ethereal, others were balanced and centered. They were sometimes gentle and unending, sometimes sharp and piercing. These endless variations were the essence of the Void.

Zhang Jun countered ten thousand techniques with a single one. He focused his Two-Handed Warhammer into a single point, gathering all the Spiritual Qi from his body onto the hammer. With one swing, ten thousand swords were forced away.

Amidst the roar of thunder, neither could gain the upper hand for a time.

Meanwhile, Chen Dong was toying with Feng You's crimson attacks with his Thunder Spear. Feng You's Realm was a major stage higher than his. Feng You could afford to make countless mistakes, but Chen Dong could not make a single one.

When it came to understanding the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual, although Chen Dong had studied it for a very short time, his comprehension was deeper than Feng You's. If Feng You insisted on using the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual against him, Chen Dong was confident he wouldn't be hit even once. Stalling him would be no problem at all.

But Chen Dong's goal wasn't to stall him. It was to defeat him—and even kill him.

"You damn dreg!! You incompetent piece of trash!! Stop dodging if you have any guts!!" Feng You roared again and again.

He felt utterly disgusted, like he was punching cotton—all his strength was useless. His opponent was clearly just a piece of trash at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet he couldn't finish him off. No matter if he used area-of-effect techniques or Bursting Techniques, the kid opposite him would just keep hopping around in front of him, completely unscathed.

A crimson glow carrying piercing Spiritual Qi shot straight at Chen Dong. To use such a straightforward technique that had killing power but no finesse showed just how enraged Feng You had become.

At the same time, Feng You's voice thundered, "Don't let me catch you, or I'll rip out your soul and scrape your bones."

A glint flashed in Chen Dong's eyes. 'This is my chance. He's lost all composure.' His figure flickered, splitting into three. From the left, right, and above, three spears thrust out as one.

Feng You's eyes widened in shock. His Protective Spiritual Qi, that of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, was actually pierced by someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage. In his panic, he hastily summoned a Turtle Shell Shield.

Chen Dong chuckled softly. 'What an idiot. Using a water-attribute Profound Turtle Shield against a Thunder Cultivator. The guy has completely lost it. No wonder he's ranked last among the five Daoists.'

The Thunder Spear struck the Profound Turtle Shield. Chen Dong transformed into a bolt of lightning, passing straight through the shield. The shield remained perfectly intact, but it hadn't blocked Chen Dong at all.

Three Thunder Spears pierced Feng You's body simultaneously. The berserk Power of Thunder and Lightning frantically invaded his system.

So what if he was at the Golden Core Stage? Using the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual against Chen Dong was his greatest mistake!

Feng You spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror. He hastily pulled a Flame Feather, shimmering with a divine aura, from his Storage Ring.

Chen Dong, who was about to deliver the finishing blow, saw the Flame Feather and immediately retreated explosively. The terrifyingly sacred aura emanating from the feather horrified him.

Sure enough, the feather instantly transformed into a massive ball of fire that spread across the sky above the entire Yun Gu Sect in a flash. The terrifying energy within the flames was such that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would likely be burned to ash if they touched the slightest bit of it.

Luckily, Chen Dong was fast enough, or he would have truly perished, his body and soul erased.

From within the flames, the illusion of a majestic phoenix cried out. The light scattered, and the sky-spanning fire condensed, returning to the feather after a few breaths. All that was left was an uninjured Feng You, gasping heavily for air.

Chen Dong's expression turned grim, his brow furrowed. 'A Phoenix True Feather plus the Nirvana Scripture... This Feng You isn't so easy to deal with after all.'

So, Chen Dong grinned and taunted, "Is this what a Daoist is? So impressive! That fire just now looked like it could actually kill someone. But, you're not qualified. It'd be a different story if your dad showed up!"

Hearing a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator mock him as unqualified and even dare to mention his father, Feng You's terrified expression instantly twisted into a ferocious snarl. He roared, "I'm going to kill you!"

He frantically channeled the Spiritual Qi around him, condensing it into a Fire Phoenix Illusion. With a clear cry, the illusion attacked Chen Dong, wreathed in the light of flowing crimson clouds and bearing down with sun-devouring force.

Chen Dong sighed internally. 'He's still using the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Manual against me. He really doesn't learn his lesson.' The moment Feng You began to cast the technique, Chen Dong knew exactly what it was. 'It's like I can see right through his underwear; what's he even fighting with?'

Feng You's understanding encompassed the Phoenix True Fire, the Sun Burning True Skill, and the Flowing Crimson Cloud-Fire Transformation. This single move combined all three techniques; one could not say it wasn't violent!

But it also consumed an immense amount of energy, and Chen Dong knew its flaws like the back of his hand. His Hand Technique solidified, and gripping his Thunder Spear, he charged directly toward the Fire Phoenix Illusion.
