Loud laughter, full of joy, echoed from outside, and an earth-yellow streak of light, flying at high speed, approached.
In just a few steps, he arrived before everyone. This person was Lu Feng, though he appeared somewhat disheveled at the moment.
Seeing Lu Feng unharmed, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
After the clash of their divine abilities, everyone had been suppressed by the terrifying power and rendered speechless. However, recalling it now, their hearts had been filled with cold sweat.
Even Su Ziyi, in the early Nascent Soul stage, could only offer a wry smile, lamenting in his heart, "Truly, the younger generation is formidable!"
Lu Feng, the only son of Vice City Lord Lu Liang, and the son-in-law of Vice City Lord Lü Liang, both held extraordinary identities.
Should anything happen to them, the consequences would be unbearable for everyone. Even Su Ziyi, in the early Nascent Soul stage, might not escape unscathed.
Hahahaha, after a burst of laughter, Lu Feng loudly exclaimed, "Brother Wu, this battle was truly interesting. I haven't been this excited in a long time. What are you doing over there? Aren't you coming in?"
As his words fell, Wu Tao also returned.
However, his appearance was even worse than Lu Feng's, his face pale and sallow, clearly indicating he was not lightly injured.
It was only natural, given that he was inferior in cultivation and divine abilities, how could Wu Tao possibly win?
Under everyone's gaze, Wu Tao held the Myriad Sword Breaking Immortal Diagram in his right hand and snorted, "In terms of divine abilities, you won, and I lost. I own up to it, losing is losing..."
"However, in a cultivator's battle, besides dueling, magical treasures can also decide the outcome of a fight..."
"Come… come… come, let us fight another three hundred rounds..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng slowly retreated a few steps. Looking at Wu Tao, the smile on his face vanished, his expression clearly complex.
Patting his forehead, Lu Feng said, "Brother Wu's words at banquets are never to be taken seriously. I've had my fill of fun today and don't wish to fight anymore. Perhaps another time in the future..."
"Some say you are the most talented cultivator in Tongguan City in over a thousand years. I didn't believe it initially, but now I feel it must be true..."
"Your strength is indeed formidable. ordinary Core Formation cultivators pose no threat in front of you. Even for me, defeating you would not be easy."
He paused, his expression growing even more solemn. "However, you are still no match for me at this moment, and there's no point in continuing the fight."
Although Lu Feng's words were exceedingly arrogant, implying he stopped fighting because he looked down on Wu Tao, no one present doubted it.
Given Lu Feng's family's status and position, it would be unbelievable if he didn't possess some exceptionally powerful magical treasure.
"Good, very good. If you can withstand this strike of mine, I will kneel and kowtow to you, admitting defeat. Conversely, if you cannot withstand it, you will kowtow to Yuehua and apologize."
Wu Tao released his grip, and the Myriad Sword Breaking Immortal Diagram floated up, then unfurled on its own, as if driven by the wind.
Countless characters of "sword" appeared on the Myriad Sword Breaking Immortal Diagram.
Upon closer inspection, innumerable immortal swords shuttled back and forth within the Myriad Sword Breaking Immortal Diagram, circulating endlessly, as if a world of swords was constantly evolving.
As soon as it appeared, sword cries resounded continuously, as if reaching the pinnacle of the sword dao.
"Good, good, a supreme treasure of the sword dao. Young man, you indeed held back."
A flicker of surprise crossed Lu Feng's eyes. The power of the Myriad Sword Breaking Immortal Diagram, though formidable, indeed exceeded his imagination.
Nodding slightly, Lu Feng said sternly, "It seems you truly have the ability to fight me seriously. But have you really thought it through? If we continue fighting, I won't be able to hold back..."
Just as Wu Tao was about to say something, Lü Yuehua covered his mouth.
Lü Yuehua shook her head at him slightly, signaling him not to fight anymore.
On the other side.
Seeing this, Su Ziyi also stepped between them, stopping the fight between Lu Feng and Wu Tao.
Realizing the situation was unfavorable, Wu Tao no longer insisted and turned to face the instigators, Hong Bai and Zhang Lingxi.
Hong Bai and Zhang Lingxi were already trembling with fear, inwardly lamenting their misfortune.
Seeing Wu Tao approach, their mouths twitched, and they each produced their innate magical treasures, pointing them at Wu Tao.
However, this was of no use. Although Yang Tao wouldn't kill them, he intended to teach them a lesson they wouldn't forget.
Hong Bai and Zhang Lingxi could imagine how comical they must appear in the eyes of their friends.
They secretly resolved that if Lu Feng wouldn't do, they must find a way to make Xie Hu and Wu Tao fight.
Let Xie Hu teach this arrogant young man a good lesson.
Otherwise, how could they wash away the humiliation of today?
Wu Tao's intrusion into Hidden Dragon Residence, his battle with Lu Feng, and his subduing of Hong Bai and Zhang Lingxi – all of it happened in the blink of an eye, resolving everything within half an hour.
With nothing else to do, Wu Tao enjoyed several days of leisure. One day, he was playing with Lü Yuehua in a place of exceptional beauty.
A man and a woman, a cat and a wolf, enjoying a moment of ease.
As they sighed with regret, at the summit of Little Barren Mountain, before the cave dwelling, beside the small lake, a man and a woman were enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
Lü Yuehua's beauty was such that a single unconscious gesture, like sweeping her hair from her forehead, was enough to captivate the hearts of countless men.
Here, with only Wu Tao and Lü Yuehua present, she didn't need to suppress her true nature anymore.
At this moment, her face bloomed like a flower as she raised You Meng high and spun it gently, playing with it.
A gentle breeze wafted, her white gauze skirt fluttered, and the beauty was breathtaking. All of this was like a painting, drawing one into a trance, oblivious to time.
You Meng and Yin Yue were both big spenders of spirit stones, consuming several pills daily. Whenever they encountered a bottleneck, they had to consume several times more.
Especially You Meng, for the sake of spirit pills, she truly abandoned all pretense of dignity.
these past few days, You Meng had become familiar with Lü Yuehua. Seeing Wu Tao and Lü Yuehua arrive, she tumbled and frolicked in the grass, appearing very lively.
Lü Yuehua produced a spirit pill, tossed it towards You Meng, who leaped up and caught it in her mouth, swallowing it.
The plump You Meng, the next second, lay on her back with her paws in the air, her mouth agape, with remnants of pills scattered beside her.
Good heavens, this gluttonous cat had directly consumed so many pills that it had fallen unconscious, clearly due to the strong spiritual energy hidden within the pills.
Seeing this, Lü Yuehua gently raised her hand, pointed at Wu Tao, a hint of worry evident.
Wu Tao, seeing this, shook his head slightly, reached out his right hand and patted You Meng's fluffy, round belly, saying, "Stop playing dead, wake up!"
However, You Meng first swatted away Wu Tao's meddling hand with a small paw, then rolled over and turned her back to Wu Tao and Lü Yuehua.
Wu Tao, looking at You Meng's deliberate behavior, directly poked several of You Meng's most sensitive spots in quick succession.
No cat could endure such a situation for long.
Soon, You Meng's tail unconsciously twitched.
Unnoticed by Wu Tao and Lü Yuehua, You Meng suddenly arched her back and leaped into the air.
The next second, Wu Tao covered his face with his hand, glaring fiercely at You Meng.
You Meng, landing on the ground, licked her bleeding paw and looked back disdainfully at Wu Tao, who now had a dozen bloodstains on his face.
Lü Yuehua was stunned for a moment, then doubled over with laughter. "This little cat you've raised is too amusing! It really has a temper!"
Wu Tao shook his head with a wry smile. "I've spoiled this cat, which is why it has such a temper. I apologize for letting you see this, Yue'er."
Lü Yuehua gazed at You Meng, resting her chin in her hand. "Does this cat eat so many spirit pills every day?"
"If I were to feed it, I could do it for a while, but for too long, I truly couldn't afford it..."
Wu Tao, abandoning the pretense of covering his face, said with a complex tone, "What are you thinking? The reason this little cat can eat so much is because it has a natural divine ability to store the spiritual energy from spirit pills and digest it slowly..."
Lü Yuehua and Wu Tao danced on the grass, their bodies swaying with the wind.
Half an hour later, Lü Yuehua and Wu Tao arrived at a pavilion.
Stretching out her snow-white body, she reclined on the pavilion's seat, appearing as if ready to be plucked.
Allowing Wu Tao's scorching gaze to linger on her body, Lü Yuehua gently shifted her supple, jade-like form, perfectly showcasing her voluptuous figure.
This sight entranced Wu Tao, and his unruly hands reached for Lü Yuehua's delicate feet, playing with them lightly.
"What are you looking at? Your eyes are bulging out," Lü Yuehua's coquettish voice brought Wu Tao back to his senses. His face turned red and only slowly returned to normal after a long while.
"Can't I look at my betrothed?" Wu Tao said with a smile.
"Then after you marry me, will you still look at other women like this?" Lü Yuehua asked softly.
This was the question every woman would ask her beloved.
Wu Tao responded with extreme caution, without a hint of hesitation, as if it came to him instantly. "My heart for you will never change. Even if the sun and moon reverse their course, mountains turn into seas, and rocks decay and crumble, it will remain so..."
Their eyes met, and a surge of affection rose within Wu Tao, prompting an impulse to embrace her tightly.
Without further ado, Wu Tao directly lifted Lü Yuehua into his arms.
