Chapter 665: Shang Hongchen's Frustration

The arm went numb.

The punch was blocked by the sword blade, but Shang Hongchen marveled at her younger brother's strength; that force still vibrated her arm, her right hand felt as if it were ruined, and only after a while did it gradually ease.

After throwing a punch, Shang Yue did not press the attack but instead observed his older sister's appearance.

"Older sister, does it not feel good? If this punch of mine hit you, that layer of your true gang would shatter directly."

When the true gang shatters, the flesh cannot withstand his punch.

This is because he held back a bit of his strength; if he went all out, the second sister would likely be flung at least another five meters.

True gang is strong, it can block most attacks, but his fist is specially designed to break this kind of true gang.

Shang Yue also has true gang, but he doesn't use it, it's useless; his flesh is harder than true gang, ordinary attacks cannot break his defense.

"The Overlord Fist" is both a fist method and a body-refining technique, tempering the body to the extreme, like a spiritual artifact; each breakthrough raises the body's hardness by one level, and each increase brings a terrifying effect.

"Your fist is nothing more than that."

As the older sister, how could she lose her pride? Shang Hongchen swung her sword blade, and her numb right hand only then eased.

She dared not underestimate the little brother before her; this brother's strength is truly terrifying, the strongest she has ever seen among her enemies.

Why hadn't she noticed this before? The younger brother's body-refining talent seems not bad, and with Chen Chuyang's help, he has made rapid progress.

After parting for three days, one should look at each other with new eyes.

"From now on, older sister, you'd better be careful; my fist doesn't have eyes."

"My sword doesn't have eyes either; don't bring disgrace upon yourself."

The two of them, their mouths spare no one.

Shang Hongxue, watching the drama, commented on their fight: "Older sister's cultivation has risen a lot, but her strength is still the same old; not worth watching."

"Eh?" Chen Chuyang stared in astonishment at his wife; this attitude, looking down on Shang Hongchen's strength.

His wife used not to be like this; she has gained ability and begun to look down on Shang Hongchen.

The Cultivation Physique is this heaven-defying; as cultivation rises, the awakening of the Cultivation Physique increases, Shang Hongxue's strength rises with it; a special physique's strength often makes one invincible against peers, and even cross‑level combat is not impossible.

Looking down on Shang Hongchen is also understandable.

"You, you'd better take it easy; don't provoke your sister's anger later, or she'll come to settle scores with you."

"Tch." Shang Hongxue gave a disdainful smile: "Would I be afraid of her?"

"Chuyang brother, I'm not bragging; she's like this, I could take on ten of her."

Chen Chuyang was startled for a moment, looking at the strange wife before him, very strange, very arrogant.

Looking again at Shang Hongchen, the corner of her mouth twitched; it was obvious she had heard those words.

Her inner feelings were certainly not pleasant.

Her younger brother and sister don't even put her in their eyes; it's truly hateful, to humiliate her to her face—no one could bear it.

Tianlian Zhenren widened his eyes, looking at Shang Hongxue, without doubting her words.

This is a fact.

Chen Qinger does not practice swordplay; she came over to watch the drama and happened to hear those words.

She gave Shang Hongxue a thumbs‑up: "Sister‑in‑law, you're awesome."

Hearing the praise, Shang Hongxue lifted her head and chest: "Of course, your sister‑in‑law can take on ten Shang Hongchens without problem."

She continued to boast about herself and belittle Shang Hongchen.

Chen Qinger wore a full‑face smile; this sister‑in‑law is too hilarious, she's really up for anything.

After a few words of praise, the sister‑in‑law got carried away; in the end, she's still just a naive woman.

"Qinger, how about we practice our hands later?"

Chen Qinger quickly shook her head: "No, sister‑in‑law, I really do respect you."

"Fight Shang Hongxue?"

"Forget it; it's not that we haven't fought before—we've sparred over a dozen times. At first, Chen Qinger could suppress Shang Hongxue in the fight, but later, as they kept fighting, something felt off."

"The sister‑in‑law improves too fast; she learns sword techniques at a glance and can apply them broadly."

"Her sword skill improves swish‑swish; in just half a month she surpassed me."

"Afterwards, it was when Chen Qinger was being mistreated; after that, Chen Qinger refused to spar."

"Practicing sword alone, the Five Elements Sword Technique improved considerably, but she still could not defeat Shang Hongxue."

"We haven't practiced sword in a long time; I've recently had an insight, and we happen to be short one opponent—Qinger, you won't refuse to spar with your sister‑in‑law, will you?"

Shang Hongxue's words sounded aggrieved, but in fact her eyes were fixed on her.

Chen Qinger choked up, hurriedly walked away, and stopped watching the drama.

To avoid bringing disaster upon herself.

Shang Hongxue still wanted to chase after her, but Chen Chuyang pulled her back, not letting her go.

"Chuyang brother, why are you stopping me? I still want to spar with Qinger sister."

"Oh come on, are you going to spar or just show off?"

"Hehehe." Shang Hongxue, whose thoughts had been exposed, blushed.

"No wonder he's the man who shares my bed and pillow; he knows everything I think."

"You, don't keep doing this; you've scared Qinger sister. If you really want to find someone to spar with, you can go to your sister in the future."

"My sister? Shang Hongchen, is she going to stay?"

Shang Hongxue blinked, wondering why she didn't know that.

"According to the older sister's character, after going up the mountain, if she fails to achieve her goal, she will soon come down."

"It's impossible for her to stay on Longshe Shan, and also impossible for her to agree to Chen Chuyang's proposal."

"What do you say?" Chen Chuyang said lightly: "This is not up to her."

Outside is so chaotic, the Heavenly Heart Sect is so dangerous; if she goes back, it's just sending herself to death—she might as well stay here.

My father-in-law has already communicated with me, telling me to keep your older sister.

Shang Hongxue blinked: "Ah? Why didn't I know?"

Chen Chuyang took out a jade slip and handed it to Shang Hongxue; upon looking, it was indeed her father's orders.

There's no problem now, right?

It's nothing, just Chuyang older brother—how are you going to keep her?

If you forcibly keep her, eh, without my permission, do you think she can go down the mountain?

Shang Hongxue nodded: "Indeed, the Formation on Longshe Shan was set up by Chuyang older brother; she wants to leave but can't."

It's still safer to stay on the mountain; down below is too dangerous.

The Heavenly Heart Sect is even more dangerous; older sister absolutely cannot go back.

The two reached an agreement, regardless of what Shang Hongchen thinks.

One sentence—she cannot go down the mountain.

In the midst of battle, Shang Hongchen heard this sentence and stopped.

No more fighting; this battle is boring.

Unable to defeat her younger brother, Shang Hongchen felt frustrated; although her cultivation was far superior to Shang Yue's, she could not overcome him.

Humiliating, truly humiliating.

Shang Yue saw this and asked: "Older sister, shall we stop fighting?"

No more fighting, it's boring; your defense is so hard I can't break through.

Her blade cannot pierce the defense; that is what frustrates her the most.

I don't know how this younger brother trained; his body's hardness is almost on par with a Spiritual Artifact.

Too hard.

Shang Yue gritted his teeth and smiled: "That means I won this battle."

Hahaha.

Shang Yue laughed heartily, unable to contain his excitement.

Shang Hongchen: "???"

We're only tied; you don't count as winning, so why…
