When Zu An fought Mi Li back then, he had the cheat-like 'Rich Woman's Pleasure Ball' working for him, and his opponent didn't use her full strength because she saw he was too weak.
Now, Yan Xuehen was different. She seemed to have noticed his improved cultivation, so her attacks were merciless. Zu An had to use every trick in his arsenal and all his 'cheats' just to barely hold on.
But he also knew he couldn't last much longer if this continued.
Seeing this, Yu Yanluo immediately summoned the Thousand-Mile Rivers and Mountains Map. She knew it couldn't trap a Grandmaster, nor did she use it to directly attack Yan Xuehen, but rather to support Zu An.
At the same time, she quickly drew in the air with a paintbrush. Zu An immediately felt as light as a swallow, his strength significantly increased, and so on.
It was as if she had instantly applied many support auras to him.
Yan Xuehen frowned upon seeing this. "Hmph, your relationship is indeed extraordinary."
Although Yu Yanluo appeared gentle and made others feel at ease, she was inherently indifferent and would never be so concerned about others.
But the anxiety and worry in her eyes now were undeniably genuine.
Yu Yanluo said coldly, "You attacked my honored guest without cause; naturally, I won't stand by idly."
Yan Xuehen snorted lightly, clearly not believing the excuse.
Thanks to Yu Yanluo's help, Zu An got a moment to breathe. He seized the opportunity to say, "Reverend Yan, we're all acquaintances. Is there really a need for such a life-and-death struggle?"
Yan Xuehen's expression turned cold. "Who is an acquaintance of yours?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her attacks became even more ferocious.
At this moment, she was also puzzled. Theoretically, a Grandmaster should overwhelmingly suppress cultivators of lower realms. Yet, this guy in front of her was truly bizarre; his actual strength far exceeded his rank. Coupled with his endless tricks, she found him quite troublesome.
But that was all. The gap in cultivation realms was like heaven and earth.
With a flick of her sleeve, Yu Yanluo let out a muffled groan. The Thousand-Mile Rivers and Mountains Map dropped to the ground, no longer under her control. Naturally, all the support effects on Zu An also vanished.
Yu Yanluo knew in her heart that her opponent had held back. Otherwise, that move would have left her dead or severely wounded.
Evidently, Yan Xuehen was considerate of her identity as the head of the Yu family, warning her not to interfere further.
But as soon as she picked up her paintbrush, her body went limp. Only then did she realize that her vital points had been sealed by her opponent.
She was inwardly horrified. Yan Xuehen's casual move had silently incapacitated her at the same time. Such a level of cultivation made her even more worried about Zu An's safety.
Without Yu Yanluo's help, Zu An immediately felt immense pressure. While trying his best to cope, he shouted, "If this continues, your disciple will become a widow! Do you want her to resent you for the rest of your life?"
Yan Xuehen was unfazed. "Hmph, killing him would be for the best, lest he disturb Chu Chuyan's Dao heart. Even if she blames me initially, once she comprehends the true meaning of the unity of heaven and man in the future, she will naturally understand her master's painstaking efforts."
Zu An: "..."
So, this woman really wanted to kill him!
Realizing this, he no longer held back. He immediately started cursing, "You old Taoist nun must pride yourself on your beauty, but you're no match for Lady Yu. Seeing how close she is to me, you got jealous, so your attacks became increasingly vicious. What you can't have, you won't let others have!"
At first, Zu An was hesitant to use some deadly moves, out of consideration for her being Chu Chuyan's master. But now that he saw she truly intended to kill him, he couldn't care less.
With such a power disparity, to turn the tide, he could only first infuriate her and see if she would expose a weakness.
"Old Taoist nun?" Upon hearing this address, Yan Xuehen's breathing suddenly became ragged.
White Jade Capital was a Taoist sect. Moreover, although she appeared young and beautiful, as the master of a temple, she was a renowned senior in the martial world for many years. So, calling her an "old Taoist nun" was not inherently inappropriate.
But she was a woman after all; who wouldn't care about such things?
Furthermore, due to her status, position, and outstanding beauty, wherever she went, people treated her with respect, some even addressing her as an immortal fairy.
Although she modestly told others not to use such titles, she was still pleased in her heart.
Now, to be called an "old Taoist nun" by a young man, and to be accused of jealousy because she couldn't compare to Yu Yanluo, was simply outrageous.
Rage points from Yan Xuehen +222 +222 +222...
Yu Yanluo, standing by, wore a strange expression, thinking Zu An was truly audacious, daring to speak to a Grandmaster in such a way.
A hint of worry appeared on her face; wouldn't this make him even more dangerous?
Sure enough, Yan Xuehen's speed increased by a notch.
Zu An was unable to dodge several times and had already sustained injuries. Fortunately, he had a tough physique, so he hadn't lost his fighting capability.
Seeing that it had an effect, Zu An was pleased rather than surprised. However, this amount of rage points didn't seem to have reached the desired effect.
Moderate anger could enhance a person's combat power; only extreme rage was likely to lead to mistakes.
So, he started to escalate. While dodging, he said, "Oh, I understand now. You old Taoist nun with irregular periods and menopause syndrome must be jealous that your disciple found such a good husband, while you have to remain a thousand-year-old virgin all by yourself. That's why your heart is so twisted."
"You want your disciple to suffer the same hardships you did, and you can't stand her being more respected than you. Are you even human?"
"If you're jealous, just say so. For Chu Chuyan's sake, I can let you experience what it's like to have a boyfriend. Why resort to such a fight?"
...
"Irregular periods? Menopause syndrome..." Hearing those utterly vulgar words, Yan Xuehen almost fainted from rage. How could this little scoundrel be so shameless and detestable?
Was Chu Chuyan blind?
Rage points from Yan Xuehen +999 +999 +999...
"Shameless wretch, prepare to die!" Yan Xuehen held nothing back. Her body ascended into the air, her dark hair swirling around her. An intensely cold domain began to spread out.
Zu An's face was grim as he prepared all his trump cards, ready at any moment to summon the 'Death-Certain Dagger' for a fatal blow.
Not far away, Yu Yanluo bit her red lip tightly. A hint of determination appeared in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes began to change color. If anyone had been observing, they would have noticed her pupils elongating and deepening.
Just then, a light chuckle came from the side. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you, a dignified Grandmaster, bullying a young junior and even resorting to activating a domain. Aren't you ashamed?"
Hearing this voice, Yan Xuehen, still in mid-air, frowned. She reined in her domain and didn't continue her attack. Instead, she turned her head to look at the woman leaning by the window.
A woman of peerless beauty looked at her with a half-smile. Her long hair, cascading down to her hips, was particularly striking.
"Yun Jianyue!" Yan Xuehen snorted. She knew that if she attacked Zu An again at this moment, her sworn enemy would certainly not hesitate to ambush her. "Why are you here?"
"If you can come, why can't I?" Yun Jianyue smiled. "Is this Cloud County yours?"
Yan Xuehen frowned. "Our grievances can be settled another day. I'm currently cleaning house; do not interfere."
"Cleaning house? Little Ah Zu is my good friend. When did he become part of your house?" Yun Jianyue said discontentedly. She simultaneously shot Zu An a look that almost gave him a thumbs-up. That guy had cursed really fiercely just now; no wonder Yan Xuehen, who was always calm and composed, was about to explode with rage.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo, not far away, had lowered her head, concealing the strange phenomenon in her eyes. She was secretly amazed: how did Zu An have so many friends around him, and all of them top-tier beauties?
"This shameless person is your friend?" Yan Xuehen sounded as if she'd heard a joke. She simply couldn't imagine a great devil like Yun Jianyue befriending a young man like Zu An.
"Not only is he a friend, he's also the beloved of my good disciple," Yun Jianyue jumped down from the window sill and casually walked into Yan Xuehen's domain. "Unlike your hypocritical White Jade Capital, who doesn't know good goods and insists on breaking up loving couples, our Holy Sect is quite satisfied with the husband my disciple chose."
