"What is this weak thing?" Jason shook his head upon seeing the defensive formation. "Do you think I'll show mercy just because she is a little girl?"
Mingyue Wushuang looked at him with wide eyes. 'Does he want to go all out?'
But just as she prepared to strengthen the formation, Jason raised his hand telling her to stop, and said, "Forget it, this will do. I'll try to control my strength!"
He then turned to face Shangguan Xue'er and asked. "Are you ready?"
Shangguan Xue'er strengthened her grip on the sword and nodded seriously.
Shangguan Xue'er's eyes widened with shock upon feeling the tyrannical power being released by the sword that surpassed any technique she'd ever witnessed before and she instantly concluded that she would not be able to block such a powerful attack!
'W-Wait! If you attack me with that—"
Before Shangguan Xue'er could finish her sentence, the sword bursting with energy in
Jason's hands were already chopping down in her direction.
"First Sovereign Sword - Sky Splitting Sword!" Jason swung the sword with all his might, and an arc of light covered in exploding bright light was released from the sword and flew toward the petrified Shangguan Xue'er.
"I'm dead!"
Forget about blocking the incoming projectile, Shangguan Xue'er was so terrified by the pressure coming from the sword that she was unable to move her body, causing her to stand there like a stone statue waiting for her demise!
The bright light exploded upon impact and filled the entire defensive formation with blinding lights, blocking any vision from the outside.
Additionally, the defensive formation that could block even an all-out attack from a peak Heavenly God Expert began to crack with lines everywhere, dumbfounding Mingyue Wushuang, who truly did not expect that he would use such a powerful move.
If Jason had used this attack without the defensive formation, it would not be too surprising if it destroyed half of the city.
And if one were to look at the sky now, one would notice that all the clouds in the sky had dispersed for some reason, looking almost like someone had split it apart.
Mingyue Wushuang stared at the barrier with a light smile, understanding what her husband was trying to do.
Shangguan Xue'er was still breathing! And besides her robes being a little dirty and torn, she was seemingly unharmed in any way!
However, she was sitting on the floor with her butt, and her dazed face was as pale as sheets. And if one looked closely, they would be able to see a dark area at the bottom of her robes!
The experience was so terrifying that she, a peak Heaven Spirit Realm expert, had uncontrollably pissed herself!
As for Jason, he was standing there with a calm expression looking peaceful as always.
He looked at the sword in his hands and spoke. "A true swordmaster can turn even the most common thing into a terrifying weapon. But alas, I went a little far away. I apologize for that!..."
"W-Why did you miss on purpose?" Shangguan Xue'er asked Jason, her voice a bit shaky from the shock.
If Jason hadn't adjusted the swing before releasing the black flame, her body most definitely would have turned into charcoal, maybe even erased from existence itself.
"You wouldn't be able to warm my bed if I really killed you, right?" He casually replied with a smile.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Shangguan Xue'er lowered her head with a defeated smile on her face.
"I lost," She mumbled. "Miserably, too."
She then stood up and lowered the upper half of her body to deeply bow to Jason.
"Thank you for opening my eyes. If not for you, my love for the sword may have been limited by my experience," She said, her voice filled with admiration.
After saying that, Shangguan Xue'er raised her head and looked Jason in the eyes with a serious expression.
"As for your request, please, allow me to warm your bed." Shangguan Xue'er spoke with sincerity.
Jason smiled and said. "Hmm, honest and straightforward, not bad. But you're way too young to do that..."
He snapped his fingers and grinned, pointing at Mingyue Wushuang, he continued. "Let's do this... You see my wife here. How about you worship her as your Master? I would have loved to guide you but our paths of sword are completely different from each other... Anyway, we will compete again when you turn 18 and if at that time you are able to take my one move, we'll turn my condition invalid. How about it...?"
Shangguan Xue'er stared at him and said. "No. Since I have agreed with the condition, I'll fulfill it. And... as for worshipping her as my master, I'm willing."
Shangguan Xue'er could already guess that the young woman sitting at the table was definitely a peerless expert and maybe a great swordsman too or else he would have not suggested that to compete again after 7 years.
*Plop*
She kowtowed three times to Mingyue Wushuang and cupped her hands. "Master, please accept my greetings!"
Mingyue Wushuang smiled lightly and waved her hand. The window blew fiercely and wrapped around Xue'er's body, lifting her back to her feet.
"Since my husband has said so and you're a generational talent, I'll accept you as my direct disciple. We don't have so many rules here so you don't need to be formal and such, just respect the people working in this building as everyone is our people and they are your seniors..." Mingyue Wushuang spoke slowly, letting her absorb everything.
"I practice both the art of Sword and Music so if you've any interest in the latter, feel free to ask and I'll teach it to you."
She raised her jade-like hands and her slender finger made contact with her forehead.
"Also, practice with this method from now on. And come here every day to get your lessons on the sword."
Shangguan Xue'er's eyes sparkled with a sharp light as her heart throbbed in shock. She cupped her hands and expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, Master!"
Shangguan Xue'er had just chanted the technique that had appeared mystically in her head and her cultivation began to stir, like a raging storm. The heavenly energy in her body moved on its own, showing signs of increasing.
And at this point, the story came to an end as Shangguan Xue'er finished narrating it to her family.
