Chapter 116: Fire Qilin's Body Is a Treasure
The grief-stricken Lord of Wushuang City, Dugu Yifang, led his forces to hunt down Nie Feng and Ming Yue after the loss of his son.
Among his entourage was Duan Lang, a close friend of Nie Feng.
Dugu Yifang had captured Ming Yue's grandmother, Ming Jing, forcing the two into a desperate situation.
Injured and far weaker than Dugu Yifang, even with the Wushuang Sword in hand, Nie Feng and Ming Yue stood no chance of harming him.
The outcome was predictable.
It didn't take long for the two to be easily defeated by Dugu Yifang.
As death loomed.
Nie Feng and Ming Yue gazed deeply into each other's eyes, their emotions overflowing.
They tightly clasped each other's hands, fearing separation.
At that moment, their genuine feelings activated the secret hidden within the Wushuang Sword.
The sword flew.
And so did they.
Each holding a sword, they were lifted into the air by a mysterious force, spinning gently as they emitted a strange radiance.
The Wushuang Sword crackled with lightning, writing several large characters in the sky:
A Love That Shakes the City!
The scene abruptly shifted from martial arts to fantasy.
"To be honest, watching this live is a bit embarrassing…"
Chu Yang, who had rushed to the scene earlier, hid in the shadows. Observing the words in the sky, he couldn't help but comment.
The next moment.
The glowing words of A Love That Shakes the City exploded, transforming into countless orbs of light that rained down on the earth like a torrential storm.
It was less martial arts and more like sorcery.
Under this relentless bombardment, the forces of Wushuang City were wiped out, leaving only Dugu Yifang barely holding on.
Duan Lang, not being targeted by A Love That Shakes the City and spared by Nie Feng's reluctance to harm him, escaped with minor injuries.
As Dugu Yifang teetered on the brink of death, Ming Jing, who was fanatically loyal to the Dugu family, suddenly rushed out to shield him from a fatal blow.
Seeing her grandmother gravely injured, Ming Yue's emotions spiraled into chaos, causing A Love That Shakes the City to abruptly dissipate.
Nie Feng and Ming Yue fell from the sky together.
This was the moment Chu Yang had been waiting for.
If Ming Jing survived, even if Ming Yue lived, she could never truly be with Nie Feng, nor could she ever find happiness.
Just as Dugu Yifang prepared to deliver the killing blow to Nie Feng and Ming Yue, he suddenly sensed a tremendous murderous intent behind him.
Turning around, he saw a young stranger walking toward him.
"Who are you?"
Dugu Yifang frowned as he questioned.
During Chu Yang's time in Wushuang City, he had encountered Dugu Yifang numerous times, but as the lofty city lord, Dugu Yifang would never remember a lowly servant.
"Ayang, why are you here?"
Ming Yue, clutching her grandmother's lifeless body, spotted Chu Yang. Her tear-streaked face revealed a trace of surprise.
"You're… the servant who was by Ming Yue's side?"
Nie Feng, who had crossed paths with Chu Yang once, recognized his face.
"Hahaha, even a mere servant dares to block my way? You two fools, could it be that you've pinned your hopes on him?"
Dugu Yifang burst into laughter, looking at Chu Yang as if he were a clown.
Chu Yang remained silent, walking forward slowly.
"Lord, allow me, Duan Lang, to deal with this ignorant servant!"
Having stayed on the sidelines for a while, Duan Lang, seeing the situation favoring Dugu Yifang, eagerly volunteered to teach Chu Yang a lesson in hopes of earning more favor.
To Duan Lang, Chu Yang was nothing more than a loyal servant who had somehow tracked down Ming Yue.
Brandishing his sword, Duan Lang dashed in front of Chu Yang and thrust it toward his chest.
"No!"
Ming Yue cried out in anguish. Already devastated by her grandmother's death, she could not bear to lose another close companion.
"Duan Lang, stop!"
Nie Feng's face turned red, and he spat out blood as he shouted.
Duan Lang's expression remained cold, unfaltering even as he heard Nie Feng's voice.
His strike was decisive and ruthless!
However.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
The moment Duan Lang's sword tip touched Chu Yang's chest, it could go no further, as if it had struck an impenetrable barrier.
Duan Lang roared, channeling all his strength, the veins on his arm bulging.
Yet the blade remained immobile.
Seeing this, the smile on Dugu Yifang's face froze, and his eyes grew solemn.
Dugu Yifang was well aware of Duan Lang's strength. They were not far apart in ability, and it was impossible for Duan Lang to fail to break through the defense of an ordinary opponent.
The only explanation was that the enemy's body-training techniques had reached an unparalleled level.
Sensing something was amiss, Duan Lang quickly attempted to retreat.
Suddenly.
A hand gripped his wrist.
Chu Yang stared at him coldly, exerting force with his fingers. With a sharp crack, he broke Duan Lang's wrist.
Duan Lang's face turned deathly pale.
"Get lost!"
Chu Yang kicked him, sending him flying.
Duan Lang crashed heavily to the ground, feeling as though his internal organs had shifted, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"What remarkable skill. You've been hiding in my Wushuang City all these years. What exactly are your intentions?"
"Are you after A Love That Shakes the City as well?"
Dugu Yifang sneered.
On the other side.
Ming Yue looked at Chu Yang in disbelief. "Is that true? Did you stay by my side all this time for A Love That Shakes the City?"
"I've never had any friends. I've always seen you as my closest friend…"
The series of devastating blows left Ming Yue unstable, as if she could faint at any moment.
Nie Feng dragged his injured body to support Ming Yue.
"Ming Yue, I didn't mean to look down on you, but A Love That Shakes the City is trash in my eyes," Chu Yang said sincerely.
Any random spell or ninjutsu he cast would create far greater commotion than A Love That Shakes the City. Forget Dugu Yifang—destroying the entire Wushuang City would be effortless.
Everyone present, from Ming Yue and Nie Feng to Dugu Yifang, was shocked by Chu Yang's response.
Dugu Yifang's anger erupted, and he laughed bitterly. "You arrogant brat! My life's work, cherished for so many years, is trash to you?"
"Do you think I, the Lord of Wushuang City, am also trash?"
"Exactly! The real Dugu Yifang was trash, and you, the fake one, are even worse."
"You've been playing the role for so long that you've started to believe your own lie."
"Here's a reminder—don't lose yourself in the act.
Dugu Yifang's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned pale with shock as he exclaimed, "Who exactly are you?"
Ming Yue and Nie Feng saw Dugu Yifang's reaction and immediately realized that what Chu Yang had said was true. A chill ran down their spines.
Seeing that his deeds had been exposed, Dugu Yifang knew he couldn't let anyone here live. A surge of murderous intent rose within him.
"First, I'll kill you, you arrogant scoundrel!"
With Nie Feng and Ming Yue severely injured and unable to use their ultimate skill, Love of a Lifetime, they posed little threat in Dugu Yifang's eyes. Thus, Chu Yang became his primary target.
"So what if you're an expert in external martial arts? My Invincible Tyrant Fist specializes in breaking golden body defenses!"
Dugu Yifang's eyes turned vicious as his energy surged throughout his body, and his already robust frame grew even taller.
With tremendous inner strength, his fist hurtled towards Chu Yang with devastating force.
"How coincidental. My Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill was made to deal with old turtles like you."
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which Chu Yang acquired in the martial arts world, had been cultivated to the tenth level after his relentless effort across multiple worlds. With just three levels remaining, he would achieve perfection in the skill.
Currently, Chu Yang wielded the combined power of ten dragons and ten elephants. Facing an opponent like Dugu Yifang, who relied on brute force, was nothing short of a dimensional suppression.
The two exchanged an unadorned punch.
Dugu Yifang, who was utterly confident in his Invincible Tyrant Fist, suddenly had a drastic change in expression.
His arm exploded instantly!
One second, Dugu Yifang brimmed with confidence, and the next, he was crippled by Chu Yang.
Nie Feng and Ming Yue were stunned.
Dugu Yifang was a master on par with Xiongba!
He was the very person who had plunged them into despair!
Yet, he had his arm obliterated so effortlessly by someone.
