"This is outrageous!"
The two of them kept exchanging words, which successfully made Shen Yunhao extremely angry!
"It's just going up and fighting, what's there to be afraid of!"
Shen Yunhao rolled up his sleeves, angrily about to step forward, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck him.
"No, going up like this definitely won't work! We need to find another way..."
At this moment, he leaned close to Mu Shuangshuang's ear and whispered a few words.
Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback at first, then her beautiful eyes flashed, "I didn't realize you were so good at this, husband... I could give it a try, but I can't guarantee I can fool that little girl!"
"Don't worry, as long as we can keep it from those cultivators outside..."
Not long after, a rough voice came from the bushes.
"Let me give it a try!"
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A seemingly ordinary, even somewhat rustic, young rogue cultivator clumsily leaped out of the woods, strode to the center of the clearing, faced the bamboo pavilion, and, imitating the manner of martial arts practitioners, clasped his hands in a fist and bow, speaking in a deep, resonant voice:
"My name is Zhu Dachang! I have long heard of the divine swordsmanship of Fairy Ning of the Moon Palace! I am a rough man and do not know any rules, but I would like to exchange a few blows with the fairy! Please be merciful!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, a burst of laughter erupted.
"Where did this country bumpkin come from?"
"Pig intestines? That name... Pfft!"
"Judging from this, even Huang Wenlong, who is in the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm but in the late stage, is no match for him. If this guy rushes up, won't he just get beaten up?"
"Commendable courage, but questionable judgment!"
Only Ning Yuyao, who was in the pavilion, frowned almost imperceptibly when she heard the rough voice.
"There really is such a silly kid!"
On the other side, Guan Yingying couldn't help but laugh, "Mid-stage Soul Condensation Realm? Maybe we should let him go, lest someone get killed... Hmm? Junior Sister? Junior Sister?"
At this moment, Guan Yingying suddenly froze.
She noticed that the girl opposite her, who didn't seem to care about anything, was now staring blankly at the rustic-looking young man on the mountain path.
In a short while, a very subtle, almost imperceptible ripple suddenly spread across the depths of her eyes, which were as calm as an ice lake.
"Junior Sister?" Guan Yingying called out in confusion.
Ning Yuyao did not respond to Guan Yingying. She slowly stood up, her white clothes fluttering without wind, and a cool aura naturally spread out, causing the surrounding laughter to subside unconsciously.
The girl stepped out of the bamboo pavilion, her voice still clear and cold, yet carrying a hint of warmth that was barely perceptible.
"good……"
One word caused another uproar in the audience!
The Ice Fairy actually agreed?!
Shen Yunhao awkwardly struck a starting pose: "Please, fairy!"
Ning Yuyao flicked her jade finger, and the Cloud Frost Sword was not drawn, but she simply pointed it forward with the sheath still attached! A condensed icy sword aura, carrying wisps of white mist, pierced straight at Shen Yunhao's chest! The speed was not fast, and the angle was not tricky, as if she was testing him.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yunhao smiled.
It has to be a wife; she recognizes her husband at a glance, unlike that silly monkey Guan Yingying, who just stares blankly at the sidelines...
Faced with the incoming sword energy, Shen Yunhao took out the Guixue Sword and gently blocked it, dispersing the sword energy.
"Hey... Is that all the strength Fairy Ning has? Did you forget to eat breakfast this morning?"
"..."
But Ning Yuyao was not annoyed at all; instead, a barely perceptible smile flashed across her face.
Husband, is this... something you want to practice with?
Her figure moved swiftly, as if treading on ice and snow, her sword sheath fluttering, and wisps of cold sword shadows enveloped Shen Yunhao.
Shen Yunhao wielded the Guixue Sword, parrying left and right without being at a disadvantage. The sword, imbued with the spirit of Shuangji, even carried a faint frosty aura.
"Huh? This kid's got some skills?"
"Why is his swordplay so similar to Ning Xianzi's?"
Some of the onlookers began to notice something amiss.
After realizing what was happening, Guan Yingying crossed her arms and watched the two fighting in the arena with great interest. "Interesting, very interesting. This young couple is flirting and teasing each other, they're quite the ladies' man..."
On the field, Shen Yunhao became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.
His disguise challenge was partly to avoid revealing his identity and causing trouble, and partly because he genuinely wanted to test his current abilities.
Holding the Frost-Enchanted Returning Snow Sword, and further empowered by the Seven Wounds Technique and the Crystallization Curse, he felt confident that he had the right to be assertive in front of his wife.
But when he actually faced his own wife, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Ning Yuyao's sword intent seemed to merge with the chill of the world, and every strike was unpredictable.
Although Gui Xuejian was powerful, Ning Yuyao could always use her superb footwork or sword moves to avoid his sword's edge before it was fully unleashed and at its peak, thus preventing him from displaying his power!
What frustrated Shen Yunhao even more was that Ning Yuyao was obviously afraid of hurting him. Those sword energies seemed fierce, but when they touched his body, they were soft and gentle. Not to mention getting hurt, she wouldn't even tear the hem of his clothes!
In this way, his Seven Wounds Technique became completely useless—without even any damage, how could it provide any enhancement?
You can't possibly stab yourself twice, can you?
He looks like an idiot.
Up to now, he could sense that Ning Yuyao hadn't even unleashed half of her full power...
"No..." Shen Yunhao thought anxiously, "If we keep fighting like this, all I'll do is look like a stupid monkey being played by my wife, and we won't be able to test anything!"
Just then, an incredibly audacious idea flashed through his mind.
"How about... trying to die?"
Another seemingly fierce exchange of blows! Ning Yuyao lightly pointed her sword at Shen Yunhao's left shoulder. This sword strike still held back its force, and its trajectory was clear, making it easy for anyone to dodge.
But Shen Yunhao gritted his teeth and, instead of dodging, he pushed off with his foot and took the initiative to meet the attack with his entire left shoulder!
At the same time, he took out his sword sheath with his right hand and carried it behind his back.
Ning Yuyao clearly hadn't expected Shen Yunhao to pull such a move! Although her sword strike was soft, the Cloud Frost Sword itself was extremely sharp. Judging from the force of Shen Yunhao's charge, it was foreseeable that his left shoulder would be easily pierced by this sword...
Shen Yunhao arrived too fast, and it was too late to completely retract her sword. Ning Yuyao had no choice but to deviate from the sword and turn her footwork to block Shen Yunhao's impact with her side body.
As the sharp sword energy receded, a trace inevitably leaked out, tearing open a gash on Shen Yunhao's left shoulder and leaving a shallow bloodstain.
Immediately afterwards, their left shoulders bumped together, and Shen Yunhao got his wish and had a close encounter with his wife.
Just as Ning Yuyao thought Shen Yunhao was only trying to take advantage of the situation, and her breathing became slightly sluggish due to forcibly stopping her move—
"Smack!"
A crisp, clear sound, with a strange echo, suddenly exploded in the silent mountain forest!
Shen Yunhao's drawn sword sheath had somehow circled behind the girl and landed squarely and precisely on Ning Yuyao's round and perky buttocks!
The force was so great that it even knocked the scabbard open slightly...
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
