Golden Armor Silver Soldier Art, Flying Flower Chasing Leaves Shangguan Liuyun

Wang Dingtian's tiger eyes fixed fiercely on Li Yan, his steel teeth grinding with a creak.

"Boy, do you think the Shangguan Family can protect you after what you've done?"

"You killed over a hundred people in just two days. All I need to do is spread word of it, and there'll naturally be righteous fools in the martial world clamoring to kill you. The Shangguan Family is a renowned righteous clan—how long can they protect you?"

"You killed two of my brothers. Today, I only want your life."

"But if you refuse to obey, should you fall into my hands someday, I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead!"

Wang Dingtian suppressed his fury as his cold voice rang out.

At those words, Shangguan Xiyun looked anxiously at Li Yan, then turned to Shangguan Feiyun.

After all, Shangguan Feiyun was their greatest support right now. If he agreed with Wang Dingtian, Li Yan would be doomed today.

Shangguan Feiyun was also frowning in thought. Although Wang Dingtian's words were exaggerated, given the conduct of those martial world folk, it was indeed possible.

If someone with ulterior motives fanned the flames, not only would the boy before them be consigned to eternal damnation, but the Shangguan Family might also be dragged into it.

But...

Looking at the tense Shangguan Xiyun, Shangguan Feiyun knew he absolutely could not abandon the boy today.

Besides, the Shangguan Family could not bring itself to repay kindness with enmity.

With that thought, Shangguan Feiyun stepped forward. "First Boss Wang, threatening a guest of my Shangguan Family like this is rather too disrespectful to my family."

"I haven't forgotten that you tried to abduct my younger sister."

Wang Dingtian's gaze returned to Shangguan Feiyun, and a flash of savagery crossed his face. "Hmph. Second Young Master, you should know that even among Meridian Opening Realm cultivators, there are differences. If I wish to kill him, you cannot stop me."

The contempt in his tone made it sound as though he were merely stating a fact.

Shangguan Feiyun could not tolerate those words. The Shangguan Family was also a renowned and powerful clan of the martial world; naturally, he could not sit still while a bandit provoked them so.

"Is that so? Then let's see whether I get an explanation from First Boss Wang, or whether First Boss Wang gets his wish!"

As his words fell, Shangguan Feiyun lightly tapped the ground with his foot. His body swayed constantly from side to side like a ghost, his palms shifting back and forth without pause. He was like a great tree shedding leaves in the autumn wind, utterly impossible to see through.

The Shangguan Family's Flying Flower Scattered Hands enjoyed a great reputation in the martial world. It was said that when the old master of the Shangguan Family created this Martial Arts technique, petals filled the sky, yet they could only dance between his five fingers—not a single petal could touch the ground.

This technique excelled at ever-changing feints and realities, deceiving the enemy while seeking openings, then delivering its strongest blow in a single stroke when the opportunity arose.

In the blink of an eye, Shangguan Feiyun had reached Wang Dingtian. Amid the shifting feints of his palms, they had already struck Wang Dingtian squarely in the chest.

Yet the instant that palm landed, Shangguan Feiyun's expression changed drastically.

He had already converted his hidden force into solid force, and layer upon layer of palm power surged forth. Though it was not his full strength, it should still have sent Wang Dingtian flying backward.

Yet Wang Dingtian stood as immovable as a mountain. Even his breathing did not change.

"Flying Flower Scattered Hands has quite the name in the martial world. I thought it would be some peerless art. Now it seems... it is nothing more than this."

As the rough, cold voice sounded, an immense and profound aura erupted at the same time.

Shangguan Feiyun's palm force, which had vanished like a clay ox entering the sea, suddenly rebounded—stronger and more majestic than before—sending him flying back beside Li Yan and Shangguan Xiyun.

"How... how is this possible?!"

Shangguan Feiyun stared at his endlessly trembling hand. Beyond his shock was even greater disbelief.

What kind of Martial Arts was this? It could return his palm force without budging in the slightest, and even make it stronger than his own strike!

"I said it already. You are no match for me. Hand that boy over now, and today I will not make things difficult for your Shangguan Family."

Shangguan Feiyun gritted his teeth and turned to Shangguan Xiyun. "Girl, I'll go hold this fellow off in a moment. You take this boy and leave first. As long as you enter the city, you'll be safe."

"No, Second Brother, you..."

"Enough nonsense. Go back and find Elder Brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Feiyun grabbed Shangguan Xiyun and Li Yan, one in each hand, and hurled them toward the other side of the suspension bridge.

"Bold!" Seeing this, Wang Dingtian roared in fury. His arms shook, detonating the air around him in a series of blasts, and then he shot toward the two like a cannonball.

"Bastard, don't even think of hurting my sister!"

Shangguan Feiyun leaped forward and threw himself into the path of the incoming man.

His previous palm strike had only been meant as a warning, so Shangguan Feiyun had not used his full strength. But now that he needed to block his path, he naturally went all out. Flying Flower Scattered Hands unleashed a sky-covering torrent of palm shadows, forcefully driving Wang Dingtian back!

The moment she landed, Shangguan Xiyun wanted to turn back and check on him, but Li Yan grabbed her. "Don't be foolish. That man's target is us. The farther we get, the safer your Second Brother will be."

"This..."

Shangguan Xiyun still hesitated, but Li Yan gave her no time to think and dragged her away.

Watching the two grow farther and farther away, Wang Dingtian's expression turned incomparably ugly.

Dongjiang City was too close. If possible, he did not want to fight the Shangguan Family to the bitter end here. But the unjust deaths of his two younger brothers were at stake, and he absolutely could not let this end today.

As he activated his cultivation, a faint golden-and-silver radiance flickered around Wang Dingtian's body, and the aura around him seemed to suddenly solidify!

Shangguan Feiyun's palm fell, but his face changed drastically.

He could clearly feel that once his palm entered within an inch of Wang Dingtian's body, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to advance even the slightest bit.

But when he tried to withdraw, Wang Dingtian had already raised his fist.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Then go die!"

With an enraged roar, the fist covered in silver radiance crashed down.

"Pfft!"

While still in midair, Shangguan Feiyun spat out a mouthful of blood.

When he landed heavily, his flowing-cloud green robe was already stained with specks of crimson.

"Golden and silver radiance... the Golden Armor Silver Soldier Art! What is your relationship with Butcher Zhang Luochuan?"

"Butcher? Never heard of him." Wang Dingtian stepped forward one pace at a time, closing in on Shangguan Feiyun. "But if Second Young Master refuses to make way, then today, I, Wang Dingtian, may as well become a Wang Butcher."

"Bastard! It's only the Golden Armor Silver Soldier Art. Do you really think it can cover the sky with one hand?"

"Hehehe. In any case, Second Young Master cannot stop me."

"Damn it!"

With an angry roar, Shangguan Feiyun charged forward again.

After descending the mountain, Li Yan and Shangguan Xiyun could already see the gates of Dongjiang City in the distance.

"Almost there! Dongjiang City is right ahead. Once we enter the city, we'll be safe!"

Seeing Dongjiang City so close at hand, Shangguan Xiyun finally felt somewhat relieved. They only needed to enter the city at once and find Elder Brother to save him!

Just as she was thinking that, a fierce wind tore through the air from behind.

Li Yan yanked Shangguan Xiyun aside, and someone brushed past them before crashing heavily to the ground.

Looking closely, it was naturally Shangguan Feiyun, who had stayed behind to hold off the powerful enemy for them.

At that moment, Shangguan Feiyun's clothes were in tatters, his body was covered in wounds, and even his handsome face had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Second Brother!"

Shangguan Xiyun cried out and hurriedly helped Shangguan Feiyun up.

"I'm fine. That damned dog only knows how to hit people in the face... hiss..."

Shangguan Feiyun covered his face, his swollen features making his speech unclear.

Beside them, Li Yan had drawn his saber again.

Behind them, Wang Dingtian strode forward step by step.

"Boy, you won't live through today. State your name. I, Wang Dingtian, do not kill nameless nobodies."

"Your uncle!"

"Hmph, boy, death is at your doorstep and you still dare act wild? Do you believe I can make you wish you were dead?"

"I'm not. You asked for my name. My surname is Ni—Ni Daye~"

"Boy, you're courting death!"

With an enraged roar, Wang Dingtian sprang into the air, both heavy fists smashing viciously toward Li Yan.

"Hehe, First Boss Wang's arrival in Dongjiang City should have been a joyous occasion. Yet I wonder what my younger brother has done wrong to provoke such fury from Your Excellency?"

As the voice came, fluttering leaves drifted in from all directions, pressing Wang Dingtian fiercely down.

"Elder Brother!"

Shangguan Xiyun and Shangguan Feiyun both cried out, joy spreading across their faces.

Upon the city wall, a man walked upon leaves, carrying himself with the air of an exiled immortal.

"Flying Flower Chasing Leaves—Shangguan Family's eldest young master, Shangguan Liuyun!"
