My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Various factions dispatched personnel to quickly arrive near the Du family's residence to gather information.

Xu Zinian was followed by three people, and they soon arrived at the Du family's residence.

Upon seeing Xu Zinian's arrival, the Du family members' spirits sank to the bottom.

Du Tianyuan and Du Tianhao took the initiative to go forward.

"Your Highness's arrival is an honor for the Du family. We beg Your Highness's forgiveness for not welcoming us properly."

Du Tianyuan forced a smile onto his face and bowed to Xu Zinian.

Xu Zinian looked at the Du family with disdain, completely disregarding them.

"Since you know you are guilty, I, the Crown Prince, will give you a chance to atone for your sins."

Upon hearing this, the Du family's expressions changed drastically.

Du Tianyuan's words were just a formality, but Xu Zinian directly convicted him, which was utterly absurd.

"Having heard that Du Ruomei, the eldest daughter of the Du family, is a woman of unparalleled beauty and a fairy descended to earth, this young master wants to see what kind of person she is."

Xu Zinian's actions were extremely provocative.

Everyone knows that Du Ruomei and Li Xuancang are about to get married, yet he makes such outrageous remarks, which shows disregard for the Du family and Li Xuancang.

"What? Xu Zinian came for the Du family's eldest daughter?"

"Doesn't he know that the eldest daughter of the Du family is about to marry the Marquis of Wu'an?"

"This is outrageous! It's utterly lawless!"

"..."

Those around Xu Zinian were all furious upon hearing his words, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of his audacity.

This person is utterly unscrupulous and knows no fear.

"This is going to be interesting."

Those who had grudges against the Du family were overjoyed, eager to see how the Du family would respond.

Du Tianyuan's face turned cold, and he said sternly, "Young Master, my Du family respects you as a guest, so don't try to usurp your position."

If it weren't for the fear of the Northern Liang Royal Family behind Xu Zinian, Du Tianyuan would have been tempted to take action.

"Is that so? I, the young master, am indeed usurping the host's place, so what can you do about it?"

Xu Zinian was fearless and did not take the Du family's threat seriously at all.

"Will you hand over Du Ruomei, or will I, the young master, take all the women of your Du family away?"

Before Xu Zinian could finish speaking, the Du family members could no longer hold back.

"You're asking for it."

One of the clansmen suddenly erupted and attacked Xu Zinian.

Xu Zinian looked down at him with disdain, without making the slightest move.

"puff!"

Before the Du family members could even get close, they were blasted away by a burst of energy.

"Kill them."

Du Tianyuan stopped avoiding them, and the entire Du family rushed forward.

"A fight has broken out; the two sides have started fighting."

Those around gasped in surprise upon seeing this.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

Although the Du family had a large number of members and a powerful presence, they were no match for the strong men around Xu Zinian.

He only brought three people with him, but all three were experts at the Tongxuan Realm.

Just as Du Tianhao was about to make a move, he was locked onto by a sharp sword aura, which enveloped him in an aura of death.

"To move is to die."

Du Tianhao looked at this person as if facing a formidable enemy, and dared not make any unnecessary movements.

"It's Huang Jiuxuan, a late-stage Transcendent Realm expert."

"As expected of the Northern Liang Royal Palace, to actually employ a late-stage Tongxuan Realm expert as a guard is truly rare in the world."

"It's over, the Du family can't escape this calamity."

"..."

Someone recognized Huang Jiuxuan and was shocked, while also feeling despair for the Du family.

Faced with the Northern Liang royal family, the Du family had no chance to resist.

"boom!"

Just then, a magnificent pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the entire area.

"Be careful, a powerful being is approaching."

Huang Jiuxuan's expression changed, and he loudly reminded him.

The Transcendent Realm expert who was making a move hurriedly stopped, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The old man beside Xu Zinian opened his closed eyes, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy gaze.

"It's Marquis Wu'an! Marquis Wu'an has arrived!"

Everyone looked up at the sky, and a tall and imposing figure slowly descended.

"call!"

Upon seeing Li Xuancang arrive, the Du family felt a great sense of relief, as if they had survived a calamity.

"You are Marquis Wu'an. I see that your wedding is imminent, and since I have nothing good to give you, I thought I would help you test your bride. You should thank me."

Even with Li Xuancang's arrival, Xu Zinian did not restrain himself in the slightest and even provoked him with his words.

"I have never seen such a shameless person."

"How hateful, so hateful!"

"It would be an injustice if such a beast were not put to death."

"..."

Even those watching the battle were enraged by Xu Zinian's words; he was simply inhuman.

"call out!"

Li Xuancang didn't speak. He flashed away and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already killed his way to Xu Zinian.

He threw a punch without holding back, aiming to shatter Xu Zinian in one blow.

Li Xuancang's fist was inches away, and Xu Zinian's face stung from the force of the punch, but he still maintained his nonchalant attitude.

They seemed oblivious to the impending crisis, showing no fear whatsoever.

"when!"

Just as the fist was about to fall, a sharp sword appeared between Xu Zinian and the fist, blocking Li Xuancang's fatal punch.

The old man next to Xu Zinian grabbed Xu Zinian and quickly retreated to a safe distance.

Huang Jiuxuan blocked Li Xuancang's fist to protect Xu Zinian.

"How is that possible? His strength has increased again."

Upon facing Li Xuancang again, Huang Jiuxuan's expression changed drastically, and he was deeply shocked.

He was horrified to discover that Li Xuancang's strength had undergone a complete transformation since their last encounter.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang exerted his power, and Huang Jiuxuan was blasted away. He retreated with the momentum and quickly made a move.

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A massive amount of sword energy swept towards Li Xuancang, but Li Xuancang neither dodged nor avoided it, advancing against the sword energy.

"Ding, ding ding ding..."

The sword energy struck Li Xuancang, producing a crisp metallic clang. He was surrounded by golden light, which blocked all the sword energy.

Li Xuancang's figure disappeared again, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Huang Jiuxuan.

Li Xuancang kicked Huang Jiuxuan's head hard with his right foot.

"Bang!"

The kick was fast and powerful, blasting the air apart with a deafening roar.

Huang Jiuxuan had no time to dodge, and a barrier of sword energy appeared in front of him.

With a kick, the sword energy barrier, as fragile as paper, shattered instantly, and the kick landed squarely on Huang Jiuxuan's chest.

"puff!"

Huang Jiuxuan was sent flying backward, his blood splattering across the sky.

"How is this possible?"

"Is this...is this real?"

Am I dreaming?

"..."

All of this happened too fast. From the moment Li Xuancang made his move to the moment Huang Jiuxuan was sent flying, it was only a blink of an eye.

Before anyone could even see clearly, the winner was already decided, leaving everyone in disbelief.

Huang Jiuxuan was a renowned expert in the late stage of the Tongxuan Realm who had defeated masters of the same level. Yet, he was utterly defeated by Li Xuancang, a scene that shocked everyone's understanding.

Li Xuancang rushed out quickly, intending to severely injure Huang Jiuxuan.

"call out!"

At this moment, a sharp sword aura struck from behind, instantly hitting Li Xuancang's brow.

"Um!"

Li Xuancang pondered for a moment, then, sensing the threat, stopped and looked at the old man beside Xu Zinian.

He clenched his fist, channeled his divine power, and unleashed a powerful punch.

"Bang!"

The incoming sword energy was shattered by Li Xuancang's punch, and the terrifying residual force swept in all directions, leaving the area outside the Du family mansion in a mess.
