Chapter 2247 - 2248: Humiliation and Defeat

On the river, amidst the misty rain, a small boat quietly remained stationary.

On the boat, Tang Qianjue stood with his hands behind his back, like an unparalleled swordsman, in the hazy rain.

He wore a green cloth robe and cloth shoes with thick soles. His handsome features, chiseled like a blade, showcased the unmatched demeanor of a great sect master.

In the mountain forests surrounding the Three Rivers Mouth, beneath the pavilion, countless eyes watched Tang Qianjue.

This number one master of the Tang Sect, even without making a move, had already made many admire him secretly.

"So handsome, this great handsome man looks just like Ximen Chuixue in a wuxia drama."

"Sister Yun Lei, why have you brought us here?"

...

On the rock wall at nine o'clock from the Three Rivers Mouth, two young girls gazed at Tang Qianjue in the middle of the river, stars practically shining in their eyes.

These two girls were actually Miao Lalan and Kado from the hotel.

The woman called Sister Yun Lei was in her thirties, with long hair draped down her back, and a faint aura of spiritual energy emanating from her.

Sister Yun Lei was staring at Tang Qianjue in the heart of the river, and upon hearing the noise from the two girls, she immediately turned around.

"Let me finish watching this great battle, and I'll send you back."

"If you want me to plead for you with the Master, you better behave and stop making a racket."

Miao Lalan and Kado, hearing the woman's stern tone, couldn't help but shrink their necks.

It turns out, Miao Lalan and Kado are cousins, both from renowned families in Singapore.

This time, they secretly slipped into the mainland to see Xu Zhiqing's concert.

Their family's foremost bodyguard, Yun Lei, only found them this morning.

In both the Miao Family and the Ka Family, Yun Lei was an unsurpassed presence.

Even the old masters of both families had to treat Yun Lei with utmost respect.

No matter how mischievous the sisters were, they dared not defy Yun Lei's words.

Otherwise, going back would not just be a simple scolding, but possibly even house arrest.

Yun Lei gazed deeply at Tang Qianjue on the river, murmuring to herself.

"Truly the Tang Family's number one expert, deserving of being one of the Three Immortals, likely already at the half-step Golden Core level."

"Such a master, he could freely roam East Asia with just one sword. Just what kind of master could be worth his personal challenge?"

As Yun Lei finished speaking, a line of white waves suddenly appeared on the distant river.

Those white waves surged forward and in an instant appeared before everyone.

Upon the rolling waves, a young man rode a longsword, skimming across the water using the Sword Control Technique.

The surging sword qi split the waves to both sides.

The waves crashed against the riverbanks, creating heaps of snow.

"He's here, Yang Fei from Yinxue Tower is here."

"This Sword Control Technique is extraordinary!"

"It's a pity, if he could bide his time for another ten years, Tang Qianjue might not be able to defeat him, but as it stands now, it's hard to say."

...

In an instant, the cultivators on both shores cried out.

Some commented, some sighed, not very hopeful for Yang Fei.

After all, Tang Qianjue had been renowned for ten years, while Yang Fei only rose in prominence in the last six months.

Moreover, the Tang Sect's exotic poison, invisible and formless, and Tang Qianjue's Curse Killing technique were unparalleled.

The difference between the two didn't need much pondering; everyone knew.

On the rock, Miao Lalan and Kado almost had their eyes pop out.

This man who rode swords like an immortal was the one who had booked the hotel, nearly causing them to sleep in the streets.

Kado exclaimed.

"I understand now, no wonder Moon Goddess likes him. This guy must be an immortal or something."

Miao Lalan was equally shocked.

Thinking back to how they had bickered with this immortal-like guy, she couldn't help but feel a bit afraid.

Seeing the different expressions on the two girls, Yun Lei asked.

"What, you know this Great Master?"

Kado was so stunned she forgot to answer.

Miao Lalan calmed herself, let out a bitter laugh: "More than know."

She recounted their interactions with Yang Fei over the past couple of days at the hotel.

Yun Lei was filled with surprise and admiration.

"I didn't expect you two to have such an encounter, you cannot let this opportunity slip by."

On another observation platform, four disciples under Brahma Venerable were also fully focused on Yang Fei.

Cardina, the Caucasian woman, was shocked upon seeing Yang Fei appear.

"This must be Yang Fei from Yinxue Tower. Judging by his Sword Control Technique, it's extraordinary. No wonder Junior Brother Ruan fell at his hands."

Zaik, with a grave expression, slowly shook his head.

"I don't think he is a match for Tang Qianjue."

Behind them, Bao Long and Treasure Elephant wore yellow robes and prayer beads.

Watching Yang Fei appear, the faces of the two monks became extremely solemn, silently reciting a Buddhist hymn.

Cardina's eyes were fixed on Yang Fei.

"Even if he can defeat Tang Qianjue, he will surely be severely wounded, and then we can avenge Junior Brother Ruan."

Having said this, Zaik and the other two monks nodded.

Countless cultivators watched Yang Fei's appearance, all whispering.

As the people talked, Yang Fei, riding his longsword, reached the boat of Tang Qianjue, his gaze steady and clear as water.

He cupped his fists slightly towards Tang Qianjue.

"Sect Leader Tang, I have arrived as promised. Please release my brother, Mad Blade."

"Mad Blade ventured to your sect's rear mountain to steal Dragon Blood Grass. I apologize on his behalf."

"If he damaged your medicinal herbs, I will naturally compensate."

Tang Qianjue quietly watched Yang Fei, a chilling intent in his eyes.

"Those who trespass in Tang Sect's forbidden area will die!"

"Today, if you beat me, you'll say no more, and I'll let him go. If you lose, you'll pay with your life."

Yang Fei frowned.

"The Tang Sect and my Yinxue Tower have always been like Qin and Jin in harmony."

"Even though we haven't interacted in recent years, it has not come to crossing swords. I ask Sect Leader Tang to consider carefully."

Tang Qianjue sneered: "My Tang Sect's millennium legacy can't be compared with your Yinxue Tower!"

"If you dare not fight me, then merge Yinxue Tower into the Tang Sect. In light of our predecessors' friendship, I won't mistreat you."

Yang Fei understood Tang Qianjue's intention, and couldn't help but sneer: "So the Tang Sect wants to dominate."

"True Martial King built Yinxue Tower with great effort. Even heaven hasn't destroyed it. You are not qualified to destroy my Yinxue Tower!"

Their words reached an impasse, confrontation imminent, and the atmosphere grew tense.

Tang Qianjue laughed heartily: "Then let me show you what I'm capable of."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed an iron chain on the boat and yanked it hard.

A figure tumbled out of the cabin, falling onto the deck.

Seeing this, Yang Fei was instantly furious.

The person was Mad Blade.

He looked dull, drooling at the mouth, with messy hair and beard.

A collar was around his neck, attached to a dog chain.

Mad Blade's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze vacant, yet all that was on his face was savagery.

He made guttural sounds like a mad beast.

Tang Qianjue stepped on Mad Blade's back, pressing him to the ground.

Mad Blade struggled wildly, trying to bite his foot, but no matter how he turned, he couldn't reach it.

On the nearby shore, a woman's voice cried out.

"Mad Blade, Mad Blade, how are you?"

The person was Chu Yuexi, her beautiful face streaked with tears.

Behind her, the families of the Four Spirits Alliance were all red with anger.

Tang Qianjue's humiliation of Mad Blade ignited Yang Fei's rage to its peak instantly.

Enraged, Yang Fei instead kept his composure, calmly addressing Tang Qianjue.

"What must I do for you to release Mad Blade?"

Tang Qianjue laughed, and Mad Blade struggled fiercely under his foot, spitting blood from his mouth.

"I want you to kneel before me in front of all these great masters of the Cultivation World, submit to me, and from henceforth, there shall be no Yinxue Tower."
