The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

’A martial art? No! A Fire Technique? That’s not it either!’

’It’s impossible for a Fire Technique to be this perfect, to directly manifest a divine object imbued with Dao Essence. It’s like a True Phoenix appearing in the mortal world!’

Just the divine might radiating from this Fire Phoenix was enough to suffocate her. She had already estimated Chen Dong to be incredibly strong. The moment she saw him, she knew that a physical fight was useless; otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent so long talking.

But she never imagined Chen Dong was this powerful. The gap between them was so immense that a single technique, the Fire Phoenix, was more than she could handle.

She had exhausted all her strength, pouring her True Qi into her twin swords to block the Fire Phoenix. But the creature, radiating its terrifying divine might, simply stopped in front of her with no intention of attacking, making her feel like she was trying to stop a car that was already in motion.

Watching the business van drive away, Xiao Yu brandished her sword for a desperate strike. But the Fire Phoenix before her merely danced, its body of flame dissolving her slash into nothing.

Frantic and filled with hatred, Xiao Yu shrieked, ”Chen... Dong...!”

Not long after, the business van pulled to a stop before the Cai Family’s ancestral home.

A middle-aged Inner Realm expert, wrapped in bandages, had been waiting for some time. He bowed to the group and said, ”This way, please!”

Had only Luo Hua and Luo Chengwu come, they would not have received such treatment. But Li Zhixuan was clearly a Profound Pill Powerhouse, and with him was Chen Dong, whose power the man couldn’t see through. Etiquette could not be neglected when facing the strong.

The middle-aged Inner Realm expert led Chen Dong and the others to the edge of a lake. Cai Feiyu, Xiao Pan, Xiao Gui, and their entourage were waiting, but there was no sign of Qin Yun.

As soon as Luo Hua saw Cai Feiyu, he shouted, ”I brought your ’treasure’! Where is Qin Yun?”

Cai Feiyu sneered. ”The terms have changed. I don’t just want the item. I also want those two next to you to cripple their own cultivation and kowtow to me in apology!” As she spoke, she pointed a fair-skinned finger at Chen Dong and Li Zhixuan.

Chen Dong’s gaze went past Cai Feiyu to the middle-aged man behind her. ’Profound Pill Realm. His aura feels like the second layer of the early stage. His Profound Pill is around the fourth grade. It seems his mental state is what’s lacking. If his state of mind were complete, he might have even formed a third-grade Profound Pill.’

The difference between a third-grade and a fourth-grade Profound Pill was like heaven and earth. A fourth-grade Profound Pill was mid-tier; without a great stroke of fortune, one would find it difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in their entire lifetime. A third-grade Profound Pill, however, was high-tier. Barring any accidents, its owner would safely break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Chen Dong’s eyes narrowed slightly. ’An opponent like this is perfect,’ he thought. ’Since stepping onto the Extreme Dao, I’ve been unrivaled in the ordinary Inner Realm. To break through to the Profound Pill Realm, I need the tempering of battle.’

And so, Chen Dong deliberately provoked, ”Is he your so-called backing?”

Cai Feiyu’s eyes were ice-cold. ”Backing or not, if you want to see Qin Yun, then be decisive. Cripple your cultivation and kowtow to me!”

Lightning flashed in Chen Dong’s hand as he snorted, ”Pathetic!”

Xiao Pan’s eyes narrowed. He instructed Xiao Gui, ”Protect Feiyu!” With a grasping motion, a golden dragon coiled around his hand. He then thrust his claw forward, and the dragon shot out with it, hurtling toward Chen Dong’s group with the force of a draconic roar!

A smile touched the corner of Chen Dong’s mouth. ’Perfect timing! To be able to cultivate an Inner Realm martial art to this level, Xiao Pan is nothing short of a genius.’

He thrust out his left fist. Instantly, thunder cracked as several bolts of lightning shot from Chen Dong toward the golden dragon.

This one move from Chen Dong left Xiao Pan stunned.

’He’s in the Inner Realm!’

The difference between True Qi and Spiritual Qi was immense and could be seen at a glance.

BOOM! BOOM! Amid a series of explosions, the lightning and the golden dragon collided in mid-air.
