Cui Xiangru was knocked back dozens of feet by the sudden blade energy, crashing into another pillar on the platform, and his silver spear almost slipped from his hand.
The blade's energy simultaneously repelled the two guest elders of the Cui family, giving Lu Lingyun a chance to catch his breath.
Cui Haihang exclaimed, "Who drew the knife? Show yourself to me, patriarch!"
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I just couldn't hold back and did the splits!"
"I originally intended to kill you, old man, but I ended up killing your son instead!"
A ripple appeared in the space, and a person slowly appeared, standing in the distance, holding a long sword, looking like he couldn't stand anyone.
The visitor was none other than Tan Mingyue.
Zi Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw him appear, "You've finally arrived!"
Wang Hongyuan and Deng Xian'er exchanged a smile, both seeing in each other's eyes that it was true they had come.
"Tan Mingyue is indeed related to Ziyue, but how could he possibly rescue Ziyue on his own?" Deng Xian'er asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm wondering the same thing. Although this person is extremely strong, he's only one person!" Wang Hongyuan said with concern.
Cui Xiangru raised his silver spear, causing the ground to tremble. He said arrogantly, "And who are you? Why are you interfering with my marriage?"
"Tan Mingyue!"
Both the Cui father and son were stunned. Their minds raced, but they couldn't find any record of this person.
However, since they came to steal the bride, they must have some connection with the Tantai family.
Cui Haihang looked at the head of the Tantai family, as if asking a question.
The latter was also puzzled, as he had never seen this person before, so why would he come and disrupt the wedding?
If it were Lu Lingyun, then so be it, since the young man is in love with Zi Yue, and as the head of the family, he knows it.
"My dear in-law, I'm so sorry, I don't know this person either. You must have met him privately, Ziyue!"
"That's fine too. Even if we hurt this person when we make a move later, it won't be inappropriate for our in-laws, right?"
Tantai Zhenyu forced a smile and said, "Of course!"
Cui Haihang glared at Tan Mingyue and said, "Venerable Tan, if you leave now, it's not too late."
Otherwise, the head of the family will consider you an enemy and execute you!
Tan Mingyue didn't care at all. "It doesn't matter. My goal today is to take Ziyue away, and no one can stop me!"
Having said that, he drew his long sword, his sword intent blazing.
Tan Mingyue gripped the sword with both hands and slashed straight down, instantly unleashing a sword aura hundreds of feet long.
The two guest ministers and Cui Xiangru were greatly surprised, realizing that the sword was incredibly powerful.
Each of the three unleashed their ultimate techniques; the spear's edge could shatter the sky, while the blade's energy and sword's aura could shake mountains.
boom!
The four people's ultimate moves collided, creating another earth-shattering explosion, with blade and sword energy raging everywhere.
The force of the sudden burst was so powerful that it blew the entire yard away.
Many guests simply stopped sitting and flew up into the sky to watch the spectacle, since eating at the banquet was out of the question, as the tables had been shaken to pieces.
The wedding stage was in complete disarray, and the Cui family and the head of the Tantai family were also blown away.
Taking advantage of the explosion, Tan Mingyue dashed towards Zi Yue in the distance.
Before they even reached him, two spear beams struck, forcing Tan Mingyue to draw his sword to block them, only to be forced back a hundred feet.
"Oh? Are the two elders of the Cui family also going to take the stage, not wanting to be left out?"
The ones who made the move were the First Elder and Second Elder of the Cui family, both of whom were at the mid-to-late stage of the Profound Realm.
"You've got quite a reputation for forcing us to take action!" said Elder Cui Yan.
Tan Mingyue looked solemn. Five members of the Cui family had already made their move, and their spear technique was powerful and domineering, making them difficult to deal with.
More importantly, the Venerable One of the Tantai family has not yet made a move. The only way is to take advantage of their unpreparedness and suddenly snatch Ziyue away.
"The only way is to join forces with that young man from the Lu family. He's completely devoted to Zi Yue, so he definitely won't refuse!"
Tan Mingyue said, "Lu Lingyun, shall we work together to save people?"
"Alright, I'll take care of Cui Xiangru!"
Lu Lingyun readily agreed, unleashing his Great Vajra Hand once more, unleashing a barrage of attacks on Cui Xiangru.
Tan Mingyue then unleashed his ultimate move, each layer of his blade energy becoming stronger than the last.
The two elders and the guest of the Cui family were all shocked, thinking to themselves that this person's cultivation was astonishing and that he definitely had the strength of the late stage of the Xuan rank.
"Break!"
Tan Mingyue roared and unleashed his strongest strike, powerful enough to split the heavens and the earth.
With a single strike, the blade instantly multiplied into four, slashing viciously at the Cui family elders and retainers.
The four Venerable Ones were no match for them and were forced back hundreds of feet. The two guest elders were even seriously injured.
Tan Mingyue flashed in front of Zi Yue and was about to take her away when a figure blocked her way. It was her brother, Tantai Wuwei.
"Don't even think about taking her away!"
Tantai Wuwei unleashed a palm strike, his hand transforming into white jade, unleashing a gigantic palm.
Tan Mingyue snorted coldly, slashed horizontally with his sword, shattering the Heaven-Forging Hand and forcing Tantai Wuwei back.
He reached out with a claw towards Zi Yue, but two sword energies shot out, almost severing Tan Mingyue's hand.
"Um?"
Tan Mingyue sneered, "Even the guest elders of the Tantai family can't resist making a move?"
Two venerable figures stood in front of Zi Yue, a man and a woman, namely Zhuang Zheng and Wu Fengjiao.
The man was calm and bold, while the woman was elegant and dignified. They were the Daoist couple and guests of the Tantai family, and their reputations were excellent throughout the Heavenly Realm.
Zhuang Zheng and Wu Fengjiao combined their swords, unleashing countless sword energies that were actually seven-colored.
Tan Mingyue spun his longsword, creating a tornado-like blade aura in front of him, but he was still knocked back a hundred feet by the sword energy.
"What a powerful Mandarin Duck Sword Technique! You two are only at the mid-stage of the Profound Rank, yet your combined swordsmanship possesses the power of the late stage. You truly cannot be underestimated!"
Zhuang Zheng said calmly, "The power of the Mandarin Duck Sword Technique is not limited to this. Does Venerable Tan wish to continue?"
Just then, four figures rushed over again; they were the elders and guests of the Cui family.
With six top experts surrounding him, even if Tan Mingyue was strong, he couldn't escape the grasp of the six Venerables.
Tan Mingyue's expression was grave. Even if they managed to break through, it would take some effort, let alone rescue Ziyue.
"Hmph, so many people bullying one person, what kind of Venerable One is that?"
"You dare to claim the title of Venerable One?"
A terrifying sword beam slashed down, like a silver ribbon, towards Zhuang Zheng and Wu Fengjiao.
Zhuang Zheng and Wu Fengjiao were shocked and quickly combined their swords again, barely managing to block the sword beam.
Who launched the sneak attack?
The two looked around, trying to find the person who had drawn the sword.
"It's me!"
But then a person appeared out of thin air, hovering outside the six people.
The newcomer carried a string of candied hawthorns in his left hand and a celestial sword in his right. Who else could it be but Ye Ziyun?
"I am Ye Ziyun, please enlighten me!"
The Cui family, the Tantai family, and everyone else were speechless. How could there be another bride-stealing incident, and another one involving a venerable figure they had never heard of?
It seems that today's wedding is truly not going to take place.
Tan Mingyue said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you only arriving now?"
"I was delayed on the way, was something wrong?" Ye Ziyun pouted.
Tantai Zhenyu glanced at the immortal sword in Ye Ziyun's hand and exclaimed in surprise:
"This is my family's Tuli Killing Sword, how did it end up in your hands?"
Ye Ziyun took a bite of the candied hawthorn and said indistinctly, "Naturally, it was Ziyue who gave it to me!"
Tantai Zhenyu snorted, "Then you shall stay here today, and the aristocratic family shall take back this sword!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of invisible arrows suddenly shot down from the sky, their target Tan Mingyue and Ye Ziyun.
At the same time, dozens more invisible arrows shot in from outside the Cui family compound, their force overwhelming, and they struck all the invisible arrows from before.
"Who is it again?" Tantai Zhenyu roared in anger.
