He had already experienced how terrifying Yang Sheng was when he was at Qinghu Academy last time.
They are ruthless and shameless in their actions, and their words are extremely vicious; they can accuse people of baseless crimes and make them unable to lift their heads.
Arguing with this kind of person is just asking to get hurt.
Wu Sansi, who was standing to the side, was enjoying the spectacle and laughed loudly while fanning himself: "I didn't expect our first duel to be so popular."
Old Master Si Tianyao was once the head of the Crimson Flame Sword Hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He had a fiery temper and was once among the top 100 figures on the Jianghu Ranking.
Even after decades of seclusion and cultivation within the Heavenly Sword Sect, his temperament remains as strong as ever.
Lord Yang, actually my prince also admires you very much.
That old dog Huang Yunchang barks all day long, which annoys my lord a lot.
Upon learning that the old dog had died at your hands, my lord ate an extra bowl of rice that very night.
Why don't you consider joining my prince's ranks? It'll be much more comfortable for you than following that old eunuch."
Yang Sheng stepped forward, drew his Imperial Guard sword, shook his head, and said, "I, Yang Sheng, will not serve two masters. Whether in my conduct or in my work, I always strive to see things through to the end."
Even if Yang Sheng said this in front of those people in the Dragon City Conquest World, he wouldn't feel guilty.
When he was with Hung Shing Lian, he only had He Wenchang as his boss. After he got rid of He Wenchang, he chose to join Lei Luo.
So is there anything wrong with the saying "to see things through to the end"? Anyway, Yang Sheng has a clear conscience.
Wu Sansi shook his head regretfully.
Yang Sheng came from humble beginnings in the martial arts world and eventually joined the imperial court; he had never been particularly prominent before.
It was only when he dealt with Huang Yunchang and overpowered the Heavenly Sword Sect that he truly showed his prowess.
In terms of both strength and methods, they are almost impeccable.
If Wu Sansi had known earlier that there was someone like Yang Sheng in the capital, he would definitely have helped the prince win him over to his side.
The Hu family mansion had a very large open space, enough for everyone to use for a duel.
As for the sorcerer from the Great Bright Sect, he was cornered by the group's men, searched, shackled, and Wu Sansi even viciously inserted a sharp thorn into his dantian to cripple his martial arts.
This person seemed to know that he was surrounded by so many experts and had no way to survive, so he did not resist, beg for mercy, or curse.
He only let out a muffled groan when his dantian was destroyed, his eyes fixed on Wu Sansi, making Wu Sansi feel a sense of panic.
Si Tianyao then drew his longsword and walked towards the open space.
That sword was not the thin sword used by most martial artists. It had a thick blade, a long and narrow edge, and was entirely crimson, radiating a scorching heat.
"Our Heavenly Sword Sect has stood in the martial world for over a thousand years, and our dignity cannot be insulted!"
Si Tianyao pointed his sword at Yang Sheng, his aura overwhelming.
Yang Sheng shook his head slightly and said, "He's spent his whole life in the martial world and he doesn't even know what he's doing. It's truly laughable."
"Intimidation is never spoken, but earned through the fists, feet, and swords in one's hand."
A fierce glint flashed in Si Tianyao's eyes. He stopped wasting words with Yang Sheng and his long sword trembled. Crimson sword energy surged toward Yang Sheng like a stream of light!
Although Yang Sheng verbally disdained Si Tianyao, he did not underestimate him in the slightest when he made his move.
As the blood oath erupted and his blood surged, the Imperial Guard's saber slashed out horizontally, its powerful force tearing through the sword energy. Yet, Yang Sheng felt a scorching flame swirling around him.
The moment the swords clashed, Si Tianyao's expression changed drastically.
A tremendous force surged forth, a force even stronger than that of the Shaolin Temple's Arhat Hall warrior monks!
With a loud "clang," Si Tianyao was sent flying several steps by Yang Sheng's sword.
At the same time, Yang Sheng was enveloped by the crimson sword energy, which surged and burned, tearing his flesh apart.
Yang Sheng didn't know any internal energy, so he could only use his physical body to withstand the scorching sword energy.
However, the physical enhancement brought by Ying Gou's power was too strong, so although these scattered sword energies could tear a charred mark on his skin, they were not even considered superficial wounds.
"Taoist mystical arts or Buddhist golden body?"
Si Tianyao's expression changed, and he twisted his sword, gathering pure fire-attribute internal energy at the tip of the sword, and thrusting it towards Yang Sheng.
Since the scattered sword energy couldn't harm Yang Sheng, they decided to change their strategy.
The Imperial Guard saber and the crimson longsword clashed, producing not only a booming sound but also intense flashes of fire.
Swords clashed, the two men's attacks were so fast they were like afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, their swords had clashed more than ten times, the flames almost completely engulfing them.
Unlike Yue Zhongli, the opponent's internal strength and sword skills, while good, could only be considered good.
Si Tianyao had been involved in the martial arts world for decades and had extensive practical experience. Although his swordsmanship was not as flashy as Yue Zhongli's, it was extremely solid, clearly honed through practice.
Just then, a dazzling starlight erupted from Yang Sheng's Imperial Guard saber, accompanied by a deafening roar. Si Tianyao was blasted several steps away, but his longsword only suffered a small chip.
Yang Sheng's eyes narrowed.
The first attempt to break through the enemy lines failed.
