My Sword Fell from the Dark Clouds Hanging Above the World, Heralding the Arrival of Lightning!

Da Xue frowned, weighing whether it was worth offending this young mistress Rongrong.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wielded immense power in the Heaven Dou Empire. Even Xue Qinghe had to show the courtesy of a disciple when he met Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She was not afraid of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young mistress, but provoking her would be troublesome.

But Su Yuntian, who had been barked at by Ning Rongrong again and again, could no longer hold back.

He abruptly rose to his feet, pointed at Ning Rongrong's nose, and cursed, "Who are you calling a little bitch?"

With her hands on her hips, Ning Rongrong replied, "The little bitch is calling you..."

Halfway through, she froze. Wait, wasn't I insulting myself?

As the tyrannical Little Witch of Heaven Dou City, Ning Rongrong had never been toyed with like this before.

For a moment, she was both furious and embarrassed, and her fair little face quickly flushed red.

Da Xue could not help laughing at the sight.

Ning Rongrong was practically beside herself with rage. Her little pink fist slammed onto the table. "You little brat, I challenge you to a duel!"

Girls matured early, and Su Yuntian had been frail as a child, so Ning Rongrong was actually just a tiny bit taller than him. That made the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young mistress assume that the annoying person mocking her from across the table was some little punk.

Su Yuntian repeatedly glanced at the youth behind Ning Rongrong, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Ning Rongrong had sneaked off to Heaven Dou City to play. Were there guards from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect secretly following her?

Logically speaking... there had to be someone protecting her in secret.

Then what was the point of fighting? It would be meaningless.

So Su Yuntian snorted disdainfully. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sure puts on airs. I really can't tell whether this Heaven Dou City belongs to the Heaven Dou Empire or your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

His sarcastic words made the youth behind Ning Rongrong turn pale. He actually stepped past Ning Rongrong and solemnly told Su Yuntian, "Don't spout nonsense. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always supported the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family!"

Ning Rongrong sneered. "Why explain anything to trash like him? He doesn't even dare fight me!"

Su Yuntian asked coldly, "Who are you calling trash?"

"This young miss says you're trash!"

This time, Ning Rongrong was not about to fall for it again.

Suppressing his displeasure, Su Yuntian calmly poured himself a cup of barley tea from the barbecue stall.

Da Xue finally could not hold back any longer and rebuked her, "Ning Rongrong, you've gone too far! Don't think we're afraid of you."

Despite her age, Ning Rongrong was shrewd enough to see at a glance that Da Xue was bluffing. She said arrogantly, "Fine, then hurry up and tell me your master's name. Before tomorrow comes, I'll have him break both your dog legs..."

Before she could finish, a cup of warm barley tea splashed across her face and body.

It was Su Yuntian. He had finally lost his patience and made his move.

"What the fuck are you saying? You're just relying on your father's influence. Who the hell do you think you are?"

Ning Rongrong, drenched in barley tea, completely exploded. Clenching her fists, she swung one straight at Su Yuntian's face.

How could Su Yuntian let her get close? He raised a hand and chopped at Ning Rongrong's arm, sending her stumbling back three steps. Her right arm went numb and sore.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Ning Rongrong was enraged beyond measure, and a bright yellow Soul Ring lit up beneath her feet.

"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile!"

A crystalline seven-story Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's palm. A surge of dense Soul Power followed, making her shine even more brilliantly.

She had summoned her martial soul!

Though the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul had little combat ability, the physical enhancement provided by Soul Power alone gave Ning Rongrong the fighting strength of an ordinary adult man.

Beating up this hateful little brat would be easy, wouldn't it?

They said that when soul masters fought, ordinary people suffered. But Heaven Dou City was the empire's capital, with soul masters constantly coming and going. Seeing the arrogant little girl summon her martial soul, the people at the barbecue stall began cheering.

"Go for it, little brother!"

"A real man fights girls!"

Aside from those blindly egging them on, some people recognized the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and hurriedly paid their bills before leaving, afraid of getting dragged into trouble.

The barbecue stall owner also noticed the commotion and wanted to come over to stop them, but Da Xue shot him a glare. He immediately retreated and went back to grilling skewers.

Honestly, if Su Yuntian really fought Ning Rongrong, it was hard to say whether this barbecue stall would survive.

Fortunately, Su Yuntian understood the principle that disaster should not befall ordinary people. He stood and headed outside. "It's too crowded here. I can't move properly. We'll fight in the street."

Once he reached the center of the open road, Su Yuntian looked around. Seeing no high-level soul masters nearby, he summoned his martial soul.

"Gate of Babylon!"

When they saw a bright yellow Soul Ring light up beneath Su Yuntian's feet, Ning Rongrong and her brother were both stunned.

This brat was a soul master too?

The youth could not help becoming nervous. His sister's Soul Skills were purely supportive and had no combat power at all. If she faced a soul master of the same level, would she not be at a disadvantage?

As if he had seen through the youth's concerns, Su Yuntian pointed at them and said, "To keep people from saying I bully women, the two of you can come at me together. One against two—nothing shameful about that."

More than a month ago, Su Yuntian had experienced a battle between soul masters. Back then, he had used the Death Sentence Angel martial soul to deal with Old Blade, a Soul Elder.

Now, Su Yuntian's cultivation was stronger than before, and he wanted to experience what a fight between soul masters of the same level was really like.

Just when he needed a pillow, someone brought one to him. This Little Witch Ning Rongrong had come looking for a beating, so he could only give her a thorough beating first.

Ning Rongrong's brother, the refined-looking youth, clasped his fists and said, "I am Ning Fengya. Brother, forgive me."

With a low shout, Ning Fengya summoned his martial soul. It was not a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, but a pitch-black iron tower!

Could it be... a mutated martial soul from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda? Something like Yu Xiaogang's Three-Eyed Demon Fox?

Although Ning Fengya's mutated Black Iron Pagoda martial soul had strayed from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's path, Su Yuntian could not laugh.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was a support-type martial soul without the slightest combat ability, but what about this Black Iron Pagoda martial soul?

Su Yuntian did not have much time to think, because Ning Rongrong had already activated her Soul Skill.

"Seven Treasures are renowned; first, strength!"

The little girl buffed herself, then threw a punch at Su Yuntian, intending to smash his handsome face to pieces!

Naturally, Su Yuntian would not sit still and await death. Just as Ning Rongrong's fist was about to strike his face, he opened an Aether Gate and instantly teleported behind her.

Ning Rongrong had yet to react when Ning Fengya's expression changed drastically.

Su Yuntian lightly raised his right leg and kicked Ning Rongrong in the butt.

"Ah!"

Ning Rongrong fell to the ground face-first.

Both shocked and furious, she hurriedly climbed back up. Rubbing her butt, she asked, "Is your Soul Skill Blink?"

Ning Fengya also hurried over, standing in front of the Little Witch.

Facing the siblings, Su Yuntian did not hold anything back. He directly opened eight Aether Gates behind him. Sharp swords and blades emerged from within, their edges sending out ripples of pale golden light.

"My sword fell from the dark clouds hanging above the world, heralding the arrival of lightning!"

The moment he finished reciting that unbearably cringe line, all eight blades and swords shot toward Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengya at once!

Note 1: An original character, Ning Fengya. Ning Fengzhi's third son and Ning Rongrong's brother. His martial soul is the defense-specialized mutated Black Iron Pagoda. He is the same age as the protagonist.

Note 2

"My sword fell from the dark clouds hanging above the world, heralding the arrival of lightning!" This is Ying Zheng's line from Honor of Kings. Did that break the immersion? Surely no one still doesn't know about the connection between Ying Zheng from Honor of Kings and Gilgamesh from Fate?
