Ming Zhitian said, "What is there to dare?"
Hong Liefeng was overjoyed. A vast rain began to fall from the sky. Of the three thousand Ruisui, she wished to take but one sip. Ming Zhitian condensed water into a fist and sword, and with one punch, his sword energy was unstoppable!
"Swish!" With a sound, Hong Liefeng was directly knocked to the ground with a single move. She wanted to get up and say that it didn't count because she wasn't ready, and to try again, but she saw that Ming Zhitian had held back, otherwise, she would have been severely injured.
Hong Liefeng coughed up a pool of blood. Ming Zhitian quickly took out a pill and fed it to her, then helped her up. "I was too heavy-handed, I'm sorry."
Hong Liefeng's focus was not on this. "What kind of move is this?"
Ming Zhitian was stunned. He thought for a moment, "Let's just call it Shui Tianya."
Seeing her standing in front of him, Ming Zhitian couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"
Hong Liefeng pursed her lips. "Teach me the Xinglong Yaohua Ji Jue."
Ming Zhitian said, "Why do you want to learn it?"
Hong Liefeng said, "To be honest, I am one of the admirers of the Great Emperor Shenmo. I have been pursuing all of his ultimate techniques."
Ming Zhitian thought to himself, "A little fan girl of the Great Emperor Shenmo, Ouyang Yuanxia?"
Immediately, he said, "I won't teach you."
Hong Liefeng said, "Why?"
Ming Zhitian shrugged. "Why should I teach you? Are we close?"
Hong Liefeng felt that he was stingy upon hearing this. "If you don't teach me, I will follow you until you are willing to teach me."
Ming Zhitian asked curiously, "You can? I don't believe you. Don't say your ninety thousand demon soldiers won't agree, they need you too. And your father, Grand Marshal Hong Wangtie, will definitely not agree. To abandon an entire grand army for a single ultimate technique is truly not worth it. I feel it's not worth it for you."
Hong Liefeng said proudly, "I have already entrusted my responsibilities to my brother. Whether it is worth it or not, I decide. No matter the ends of the earth, I am determined to learn the Xinglong Yaohua Ji Jue."
Ming Zhitian shrugged. "As you wish."
Ming Zhitian left the demon city and the Demon Gate Sect. He tore open a spatial rift to return, only to find Hong Liefeng following him.
He was a little bewildered. "I say, Great General, you're serious?"
Hong Liefeng said, "A word spoken is like a chariot drawn by four horses. Besides, I am a woman no less capable than a man."
Ming Zhitian asked again, "Are you really abandoning your army? Is this so reckless? Aren't you afraid of a drastic drop in morale and facing the world's condemnation?"
Hong Liefeng shook her head. "Is it as serious as you say? I'm just leaving for a while, it's not like I'm not coming back."
Ming Zhitian's eyebrows twitched slightly. A bad premonition grew stronger. He rushed back to the Jueshi Jiating in Huayang City.
...
He saw that the main gate had been torn down. The once magnificent blue and white walls were now like chicken coop walls.
Ming Zhitian rushed in, "Who?!"
Ouyang Nifeng, Ren Xingyao, and Xiao Mirui all attacked, holding magical artifacts and confronting Ming Zhitian!
Upon seeing that it was Ming Zhitian, the three women cried with joy. Ouyang Nifeng rushed into his arms. "Husband, you're finally back!"
Ming Zhitian didn't think much of it and let her embrace him. "Feng'er, what happened?"
Ren Xingyao, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Husband, a person who called himself a sorcerer came here and beat everyone he saw. He also injured Sister Li Xue, and then kidnapped Sister Qingcheng. If Sister Nifeng and Sister Qingcheng and we hadn't resisted with all our might, you wouldn't have been able to see us, husband."
Hong Liefeng murmured, "Demon Ancestor?"
"..." Ming Zhitian fell silent. Yanran Qingcheng was captured...
But thinking of Yan Lixue being injured, Ming Zhitian immediately asked, "Where is Lixue?"
...
Arriving at the hospital, Yan Lixue lay in an ICU bed, with only Ming Zhitian allowed to visit.
Yan Lixue wore a medical oxygen mask and was surrounded by a series of medical equipment. Ming Zhitian felt a pang in his heart just thinking about it.
Ming Zhitian held her delicate, cold and warm hands. "I'm sorry. Such a big event happened at home, and I didn't even know, and I was out having fun. I'm sorry..."
