The sounds of fighting from the front yard were very clear.

Tan Lao Liu tossed aside the emptied wine jug and looked at Xiaoyu, saying, "I searched for you for so long, and you were hiding in Hun City. If that's the case, why show yourself now? Do you want revenge?"

Xiaoyu's face was cold. She clenched the sword in her hand and asked, "Were you the one who sent the Jianli to hunt me?"

Tan Lao Liu raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Why would I associate with Jianli? Perhaps some people were unscrupulous in their efforts to completely eradicate the Yu family."

Xiaoyu said, "But you were present when the Yu family met their disaster."

Tan Lao Liu nodded and said, "It's all Fish Token Highness's fault for getting entangled with monsters. The Late Emperor bestowed such high honors upon him, why couldn't he just live happily and enjoy his wealth? He actually colluded with monsters to harm the villagers, so this outcome is his own doing."

Xiaoyu said hatefully, "Is that truly what happened? Everything you say is just your version of events. You're just using the excuse of slaying monsters and demons. How did the Yu family offend you to warrant such a vicious attack!"

Tan Lao Liu said calmly, "Girl, you may not be aware of what Fish Token Highness was doing in secret, but you mustn't speak nonsense. The evidence for that matter is conclusive. We were merely upholding justice, so how can you call it a vicious attack?"

Xiaoyu raised her sword and pointed it at Tan Lao Liu, saying, "This is ridiculous. If my father truly did something wrong and deliberately hid it from me, why would you slaughter the entire Yu family and not even spare a little girl who knows nothing!"

Tan Lao Liu remained silent.

Seeing that Akong had gained the upper hand in the front yard, he chuckled, "It's boring to talk about. It's all old history. If you had just stayed hidden, it would have been fine. Now that you've come to kill me, I can't just wait to be killed."

Xiaoyu sneered, "You don't know how to defend yourself anymore? The look on your face truly makes me sick."

Tan Lao Liu stood up and said, "Say whatever you want. If you obediently retreat, I can pretend I never saw you. Otherwise, the Yu family will be wiped out today."

Xiaoyu took a step forward, her Martial Artist aura surging, and said in a deep voice, "You certainly know how to say nice things. How could I easily retreat from the blood feud of my entire family? You know the outcome, who are you saying these words to?"

Tan Lao Liu clasped his hands behind his back and said softly, "Then you can't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A flying sword shot towards Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and swung.

She had repeated this action countless times. Facing a Cultivator's flying sword, she didn't back down one bit.

The flying sword, which was streaking directly towards her, was cut down by her swing.

Tan Lao Liu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

As Xiaoyu cut down the flying sword, without any pause, she slid a great distance on one knee and swung her sword in a crescent shape towards Tan Lao Liu's abdomen.

But Tan Lao Liu simply stomped his foot lightly, and his entire body soared into the air, landing directly on the roof.

Xiaoyu's sword swept through empty air. She immediately placed her left palm on the ground and leaped up. The height of the roof was easily within reach of a Martial Artist.

However, while she was in mid-air, the flying sword attacked again.

Even though Xiaoyu twisted her body with all her might, she had no leverage and ultimately avoided a fatal blow, but was still struck in the shoulder by the flying sword and fell to the ground.

Tan Lao Liu still had his hands behind his back, looking down at Xiaoyu from above and said, "Your courage is indeed extraordinary. With the power of a Martial Artist, you dare to fight a Cultivator. But even if you fight with all your might, you won't even be able to touch my clothes."

The flying sword pinned Xiaoyu to the ground, rendering her immobile.

She didn't say anything.

She just gritted her teeth and grabbed the flying sword, forcibly pulling it out.

Blood dripped from her shoulder and palms.

Tan Lao Liu looked at the scene with some shock. It wasn't that he hadn't seen such a sight before, but he hadn't expected Xiaoyu to be so resilient. During the process of pulling out the flying sword, she hadn't even let out a groan.

He said in a deep voice, "You are indeed very much like Fish Token Highness. When he was killed, the scene was truly horrific, but even so, his knees never bent. He stood tall even in death."

Xiaoyu stood up shakily, blood dripping noticeably. "You don't deserve to mention his name..."

Bang!

Suddenly, a dull thud.

The figure of the Green-robed Cultivator flew from the front yard and smashed directly into the pavilion.

Akong followed closely behind, raising her scythe high, about to strike the Green-robed Cultivator.

But a hand emerged from the rubble and grabbed Akong's ankle. The Green-robed Cultivator leaped into the air and began flailing wildly.

As the smoke cleared.

Akong grabbed the Green-robed Cultivator's cheek and pulled fiercely.

The Green-robed Cultivator, in turn, was pinching Akong's chubby cheeks.

The scene was quite spectacular.

They were almost biting each other.

"Xiaoyu... Run! Go find Mr. Jiang!"

The Green-robed Cultivator was in a sorry state, shouting indistinctly.

Tan Lao Liu raised an eyebrow and said, "I thought it was a coincidence, but it turns out you're also from the Marquis Mansion. Fish Token Highness colluded with monsters, and Princess Qingping is also mixed up with monsters. Truly, a daughter takes after her father. The facts are all laid out before you, what else do you have to say?"

Xiaoyu said in a deep voice, "My father was framed by you. Young Master is also innocent. You are so adept at doing these things, but you are hypocrites who dare not take responsibility!"

She had wanted to prevent the Young Master from getting into trouble, which was why she had come alone to seek revenge on Tan Lao Liu. But in the face of hatred, she couldn't hold back. The presence of the Green-robed Cultivator meant that the Young Master could no longer stay out of it.

Xiaoyu felt very guilty.

His hatred for Tan Lao Liu grew even stronger.

Swish!

The flying sword was pressed directly against Xiaoyu's neck.

Tan Lao Liu smiled, "I can't be bothered to argue with you. If you want to know the truth, go ask Fish Token Highness in the underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword pierced Xiaoyu's neck.

Her injuries were severe; no matter how she dodged, the flying sword remained there.

Even when she swung her own sword, she couldn't budge the flying sword in the slightest.

This was because Tan Lao Liu had the intent to kill, pouring all his Yellow Court Qi into the flying sword.

This made the flying sword as heavy as a mountain.

Was she going to die like this?

She was truly unwilling.

Xiaoyu closed her eyes.

She had used all her skills; there was no possibility of turning the tables this time.

Just as Xiaoyu was waiting for death to approach, A voice called out, "Old dog, are you tired of living!"

It was Gongzi's voice!

Xiaoyu's eyes snapped open.

Jiang Wang stood on the rooftop.

The figure of the white-robed cultivator lunged forward.

Du Yanruo, hiding in the shadows and observing, gritted her teeth.

She watched Jiang Wang leap from the rooftop.

The white-robed cultivator charged straight for the green-robed cultivator who was entangled with Akong. He knew that Xiaoyu was being rescued by Mr. Jiang.

"You again!" Tan Lao Liu recalled the scene in the Marquis Mansion where Jiang Wang had nearly killed him with a single saber strike. He instinctively flinched. He had intended to kill Xiaoyu directly, but the flying sword was already out of his control.

"Gongzi..." Xiaoyu said with deep apology, "I've still caused trouble for Gongzi."

Jiang Wang looked at her and smiled faintly, "You are my maid. Causing trouble for Gongzi is only natural. Gongzi will resolve all those troubles."

He extended a finger, and the flying sword piercing Xiaoyu's neck quietly retreated, slowly turning its direction and speeding towards Tan Lao Liu.

"How can you control my flying sword!" Tan Lao Liu was extremely shocked.

If the power difference between the two was vast, it would be normal for the flying sword to be suppressed, but to directly control someone else's flying sword was completely beyond Tan Lao Liu's understanding.

He hastily dodged, trying to reclaim his flying sword.

It was futile.

Jiang Wang controlled Tan Lao Liu's flying sword, playing with it wantonly. In just a moment, Tan Lao Liu was covered in blood, his newly changed Du Family clothes once again tattered.

Tan Lao Liu leaned against the wall, shouting urgently, "There's been a misunderstanding! The Du Family told me the Marquis Mansion was hiding monsters. I never intended to be your enemy, sir!"

Du Yanruo, hiding in the shadows, gnashed her teeth in hatred.

Were the big shots of the Qingxuan Bureau really like this?

Perhaps they were impostors?

She was even more shocked by how powerful Jiang Wang was.

He had only been away for two years, leaving Hun City, going to Fish Abyss Academy, and then returning.

Jiang Wang, who was clearly a good-for-nothing, how could he have become so powerful in such a short time that even a peak Dongming cultivator had to beg for mercy?!

She had originally thought that the rumors circulating in Hun City about Cai Tanggu being defeated by Jiang Wang had some hidden reason and couldn't be true. Although Cai Tanggu's escape from Hun City was a fact, Du Yanruo had never believed that Jiang Wang had repelled him.

If she had known earlier that Jiang Wang was no longer the good-for-nothing he once was, she would never have chosen the second path.

But now, it was too late to regret it.

She took another deep look at Jiang Wang and turned to leave without any hesitation.

She wanted to escape with her father and brother.

As long as they were still alive, the Du Family would not be completely destroyed.

When Jiang Wang learned that Tan Lao Liu was at the Du Family, he had already guessed what was happening.

He looked at the wailing and pleading Tan Lao Liu and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter what the Du Family did or what you were thinking. But you injured Xiaoyu, so I cannot let you live."

Jiang Wang handed the Long Night Saber to Xiaoyu and said, "No matter what you want to do, you must discuss it with Gongzi. This time, it's forgiven. With Gongzi here, if you want to kill him, then kill him."

Since he suspected Tan Lao Liu was involved in Xiaoyu's past pursuit, he naturally had to let Xiaoyu take her revenge personally.

Ever since Xiaoyu arrived at the Marquis Mansion, she had been practicing her sword day and night. Jiang Wang knew very well the hatred Xiaoyu carried in her heart. Before, he thought it was ridiculous for Xiaoyu to practice sword to kill cultivators, but now he felt it was only right.

Xiaoyu gripped the Long Night Saber and walked step by step towards Tan Lao Liu.

"Her situation was also a misunderstanding!"

Tan Lao Liu swallowed, and was about to explain further, but Xiaoyu had already arrived and raised the Long Night Saber high.

Although she dreamed of revenge every night, this was the first time she had ever killed someone.

Whether it was due to fear or her injuries, the hand holding the saber trembled constantly.

Jiang Wang witnessed the scene.

Suddenly, a wave of weakness washed over him.

The flying sword he had placed at Tan Lao Liu's vital point to prevent resistance lost control and dropped straight down.

"Night Roaming God! What is going on?!"
