Yun Yang tried his best to stand up, but his limbs were weak and he could not stand up. Sitting on the ground, he forced a smile and said, "That felt good, that felt good. Senior Ling, we must spar more in the future. This is the first time in my life that I've had such a good spar. If we spar a few more times in the future, my saber skill will definitely improve further."
Ling Xiaozui coughed, his expression darkening as he murmured, "Brother Dugu will be with you when we spar in the future. It's already the fortune of three lifetimes for me to encounter such a peerless saber skill. How dare I be greedy? It's important to know when to be content."
Dugu Chou said angrily, "Brother Ling, you're being mean!"
Ling Xiaozui rolled his eyes and walked away, swaying. "I'm not going to keep you company anyway …"
…
Outside the courtyard.
The battle had long alarmed everyone.
Now, Fang Mofei, Xiao Shaoqing, Bai Yixue, Lao Mei, the four noble young masters, Shangguan Lingxiu, Yun Xiaoyao, and the rest were all standing quietly in the yard, watching with their mouths agape.
In the air, the ten Yama Kings stared down with their mouths agape, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"This … this is Yun Yang?"
"Of course!"
"This … the one fighting him is … Ling Xiaozui? The Unrivaled Expert Ling Xiaozui, acknowledged by the world? "
"Of course!"
"That …" First Court King Qinguang was the most shocked.
He recalled the first time he met Yun Yang … He shook his head, feeling as if he was dreaming, as if he was dizzy.
"You … pinch me."
"Ah!"
There was a scream.
…
On the street far away.
His Majesty's carriage was heading towards the Residence of Yun. Looking at the gray fog above the Residence of Yun, he murmured, "Why is it so eerie …"
Just as they were speaking, they heard a tragic cry.
"Ah!"
His Majesty shuddered. Qiu Jianhan and Fang Qingtian, two veterans who had been through hundreds of battles, shuddered as well, their faces pale.
"There's a ghost!"
His words were a little inappropriate. The source of the cry was obviously the Yama King, who was many levels higher than a ghost!
Dugu Chou had said that he would not entertain Yun Yang, but deep down, he was eager to fight Yun Yang.
Dugu Chou knew very well that Yun Yang's actual cultivation base was much weaker than theirs. It was because of this that they had the leeway to deal with him. If both their cultivation bases were on par, they would have died a long time ago when faced with such a flawless technique.
However, in a battle between experts of the same level, there was no mercy. Fighting with all one's might had always been the best way to elevate one's ability quickly. Although Ling Xiaozui's battle today had humiliated him, it had benefited his martial cultivation greatly.
However, such an opportunity to improve oneself was rare. Furthermore, Yun Yang possessed such a marvelous saber skill and such a strong oppressive force. If he were to fight with Yun Yang while suppressing his strength to be at the same level as Yun Yang, the benefits would be immense!
In short, if he could completely withstand such a marvelous skill with the same level of ability, it would prove that he had a deeper understanding of the path of martial arts.
Although this idea might not be realistic, both Dugu Chou and Ling Xiaozui had high praise for Yun Yang's Destiny Blade. No matter how much effort he put into it, it would be difficult for him to create a technique that could rival Yun Yang's. However, as long as he experienced the oppressive force of such a marvelous skill, it was undeniable that there would be a huge improvement.
Dugu Chou estimated that Ling Xiaozui had already gained a new foundation from the incident at the Residence of Nine Supremes. In addition to the battle today, as long as Ling Xiaozui managed to reclaim his gains, his ability would definitely rise to a new level. Perhaps … perhaps he would even surpass Dugu Chou!
With Dugu Chou's breadth of mind and realm, he would not hold a grudge or be displeased by this, but it was inevitable that he would be unhappy. After all, he was the long-established Unrivaled Expert in the world. Ultimately, he had been completely overpowered by Ling Xiaozui, the Unrivaled Expert of the new generation.
Since Yun Yang had expressed his intention to fight again, Dugu Chou would not let Ling Xiaozui have the upper hand. It was best for them to advance together!
However, even if they were to fight again, it would not be today. Yun Yang had exhausted himself to his limits in this battle. His body was severely depleted. Even with Emmie's help, he would not be able to recover in a short period of time.
Saber Truth: Destiny Blade was marvelous. Every move and style was flawless, but it was because of this that the execution of each move was accompanied by a huge consumption of mystical Qi. The last move, Eighteen Levels of Hell, in particular, had drained all of Yun Yang's mystical Qi. Even the strength of his bone marrow had been sucked out by that move. The battle had ended. Yun Yang, who had breathed a sigh of relief, immediately fell into an extremely lethargic state. For the next hour, not to mention fighting, even his bones seemed to have softened.
"There's plenty of time for that."
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou were experts in cultivation. Naturally, they knew about Yun Yang's current state, so they would not force him.
They were not in a hurry either. After all, both of them were going to stay in the Residence of Yun for quite some time. There would be plenty of opportunities for them to spar.
Yun Yang slumped on the chair, completely devoid of energy, but he was inwardly elated.
The benefits he had gained from this exchange of pointers were enormous to the extreme!
Ling Xiaozui was like a reef in the ocean, a mountain in the storm; he had blocked all the attacks; he was like a giant hammer that struck like lightning!
It had allowed Yun Yang's understanding of the techniques to improve further.
If Yun Yang was not exhausted, if he could continue the spar and give Yun Yang the chance to perform these techniques over and over again, he would have gained even more!
However, Yun Yang was not in a hurry.
He sat on the chair, looking at Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou, chuckling.
With these two people here, how could he not have a chance?
…
After that, the banquet that had been arranged earlier arrived as scheduled.
There were also three uninvited guests participating in the banquet – His Majesty the Emperor and two military bigwigs who had suddenly arrived. The three of them sat down without hesitation.
This was the Residence of King Yun, which meant that it was his own home. There was no room for outsiders. Besides, people like Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou needed to be well-acquainted, even if they were the rulers of a nation.
Seeing that his elder brother, the emperor, had arrived unexpectedly, Yun Xiaoyao had upgraded the banquet to the level of a state banquet, inviting His Majesty to a seat of honor. He had to show some respect.
"Young Master Yun, this wine …" Xiao Shaoqing was very eager. "I heard that you have the wine of the God of Wine, Feng Xiange?"
Dugu Chou was filled with frustration when he heard Feng Xiange's name. With a kick, Xiao Shaoqing was sent flying.
"Feng Xiange is a fake, but the wine of the God of Wine is real." Ling Xiaozui spoke fairly, "Now that I think about it, either the God of Wine, Feng Xiange, has always been one of Mr. Nian's avatars, or Feng Xiange himself has long died in Mr. Nian's hands. It's either one or the other, I can't come up with either answer."
