Chapter 83: You Are Too Weak!

The woman in white is none other than Guo Zhuying.

Just now, she had been sparring with Lu Tianyu, fighting three hundred rounds to a draw.

In a moment of urgency, as she changed her stance, Lu Tianyu seized the opportunity and sent her sword flying with a shockwave.

Lu Tianyu stepped forward to stand side-by-side with Guo Zhuying, bowing with cupped fists: "My apologies, I was careless during our spar, please forgive me."

He had assumed Guo Zhuying wanted him to accompany her for practice, and three hundred rounds seemed sufficient, but he had not expected Guo Zhuying to be so relentless.

He had no choice but to knock away Guo Zhuying's sword to end the spar.

Yet he had not expected Guo Zhuying's sword technique to be so fierce; unable to check her momentum, she had flown out and caused trouble.

Judging by the sight, the Golden Flying Boat was luxurious and expensive, and the two people standing in the middle of the boat possessed profound cultivation; Lu Tianyu could not help but heighten his vigilance.

"Guo Zhuying, it is actually you!"

The woman in purple arched her brows in anger and cast a disdainful glance at Lu Tianyu: "This must be your wild man; I never imagined you would have such refined tastes, engaging in romance with a man on a flying boat."

"For the sake of our acquaintance, as long as you compensate me with one Top-grade Spirit Vein and a complete chessboard, this matter will be considered settled."

She was the Saintess of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Murong Xue, who had come to the Bahuang Star Domain to gain experience alongside her master, Jian Wuya.

They had happened to encounter the array-breaking master Liu Jinzi of the Heavenly Mystery Sect and his disciple Yun Fenghua, and had traveled together on the way.

She had not expected to see Guo Zhuying, who was just as famous as she was.

Both were top-tier young female sword cultivators from the Changheng Star Domain, and people often discussed who was stronger.

She had visited several times to challenge her, but Guo Zhuying had refused to accept, and outsiders said that Guo Zhuying simply disdained to accept her challenges.

This made her even more irritated.

Now that Guo Zhuying had made a mistake, how could she let go of the chance to humiliate her?

It would be best to provoke Guo Zhuying so they could fight a match and decide who was better.

Yun Fenghua stared straight at Guo Zhuying, a look of surprise appearing on his face: "So it is Sister Zhuying."

"Sister Zhuying, you have always proclaimed to the world that you would not seek a Dao Companion, acting so aloof and proud; it turns out you have had a man for a long time."

"Why not introduce us? Which great sect does this man of yours come from? Introduce him so we can get to know him."

His face wore a warm smile, but he was sneering coldly in his heart.

Yun Fenghua was one of Guo Zhuying's admirers and had visited many times with heavy gifts to express his love, only to be coldly rejected by Guo Zhuying.

In the end, Guo Zhuying had even called Yun Fenghua a 'mangy dog', shameless and brazen.

Now that he saw Guo Zhuying with an unknown man, how could he let go of this opportunity to provoke and mock her?

If there was a chance, he would kill this man and slap Guo Zhuying hard in the face.

What was infuriating was:

The Guo Zhuying before him still wore that arrogant expression, completely ignoring him.

Instead, she looked at Murong Xue and said angrily: "One Top-grade Spirit Vein? Why don't you just rob me?"

"I damaged your chessboard, and I am willing to pay you ten times the compensation and apologize to you."

"If you open your mouth like a lion, you might end up with nothing!"

Her personality was aloof, and the only reason she could bring herself to apologize was because Lu Tianyu had warned her not to cause trouble.

In normal times, she would have simply thrown a bag of sufficient Spirit Stones at them and, regardless of whether they accepted it or not, driven the boat away.

If the other party came looking for her, she would just start fighting.

"Ten times compensation?"

Murong Xue sneered: "Our chessboard was made of ten-thousand-year-old ebony; ten times its value far exceeds one Top-grade Spirit Vein."

"If it weren't for our acquaintance, I would have demanded ten Top-grade Spirit Veins directly!"

"One Top-grade Spirit Vein; if you are not convinced, then let us have a match. If you lose, you do as I say; if you win, we will do as you ask."

The chessboard was not made of ten-thousand-year-old ebony at all; it was just an ordinary chessboard she had grabbed at random for her master and Liu Jinzi to pass the time.

She said this specifically to make things difficult for Guo Zhuying.

How could Guo Zhuying not understand Murong Xue's intentions? She had just checked the material of the chessboard, and it was worth at most one Medium-grade Spirit Stone.

"You are blackmailing me! If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Clang!

She reached out and summoned her sword back.

However, she then thought of something and looked at Lu Tianyu.

Only at this moment did she remember that she had to listen to Lu Tianyu on this journey.

After all, she had already paid a high price to have Lu Tianyu accompany her for sword practice.

Lu Tianyu stepped forward: "Your chessboard is made of ordinary pine, and with the pieces, it is worth at most one Medium-grade Spirit Stone."

"However, we are at fault first, so I can compensate you with a chessboard and ten Medium-grade Spirit Stones."

He took a chessboard made of century-old ebony, two boxes of chess pieces, and ten Medium-grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring.

He placed them into a Storage Bag in front of Murong Xue and Yun Fenghua.

Lu Tianyu had heard the provocation in the words of Murong Xue and Yun Fenghua.

However, he did not want to cause trouble and delay the journey to save his mother.

Unexpectedly.

Murong Xue shot a sword Qi directly at the Storage Bag, shattering it, and the chessboard and Spirit Stones inside were also sliced into powder.

She shouted sharply: "I am speaking to Guo Zhuying; you have no right to speak here!"

"Move aside!"

"I want to have a decisive battle with Guo Zhuying; today we must determine who is stronger!"

She knew all the excellent disciples of the ten great sects, and she could be certain that this man was a nobody.

Because this person is handsome, he is merely a boy-toy used by the emotionally empty Guo Zhuying to fill her physical emptiness.

Such a person can be insulted at will.

Lu Tianyu's expression sank immediately: "You are being unforgiving despite being in the wrong!"

"Everything must be reasoned; we have already made the greatest concessions."

"If you refuse to be reasonable, then bring it on!"

His tone turned icy.

Lu Tianyu knew very well that blind tolerance was useless; since a fight was inevitable, then let it be a fight.

However, Lu Tianyu's Divine Sense was locked more on the middle-aged men behind the two.

The two middle-aged men were expressionless, clearly tacitly approving of the two youths' actions.

If this were the case, if the two youths lost, the two middle-aged men would very likely intervene.

That would be a huge problem!

Both middle-aged men were at the peak of the Void Cave stage, which was simply not something he could resist.

But since things had reached this point, he could only fight first and worry later.

"Kid, I see you are tired of living!"

Yun Fenghua shouted angrily: "A wild brat, relying on nothing but the woman behind you."

Hum!

Sword Intent surged from his body, his sword tip pointing at Lu Tianyu: "If you don't move aside now, believe it or not, I will cut off your head with one sword strike!"

He hesitated slightly.

Because just now he saw that Guo Zhuying actually listened to Lu Tianyu, and he vaguely felt that Lu Tianyu was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "You are too weak."

"You two should just come at me together; that way we can save time."

"But if you lose, get lost immediately and are not allowed to pester us unreasonably again!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Yun Fenghua was instantly enraged: "It seems you don't want your dog head anymore, then I shall cut off your head!"

As he spoke, he had already charged over.

Body and sword merged, stabbing toward Lu Tianyu's heart.

Lu Tianyu snorted coldly: "Overestimating your own capabilities!"
