Ye Yueling took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. "I never imagined you were such a despicable, shameless, and jealous petty person. But it's no wonder. Your father died young, your mother was of low status, and you were scorned your whole life. It's only natural that you'd grow up uncultured and twisted!
I thought I could make you a better person, help you rise up. It seems I was just deluding myself!
Over these years, if it weren't for me, do you think the family would have given you Elixirs? If it weren't for me, do you think you would have grown up safely to this day?
This is more than enough to repay the life-saving grace of your father! I had originally planned to give myself to you once you showed some promise, but I never expected—"
Ye Tianling sneered disdainfully. "Asking the family for Elixirs in my name, only to deceive me! And foolishly, I was more than willing to give those Elixirs to you for your Cultivation! Isn't that your usual trick? And you talk about giving yourself to me? What right do you have? A slut like you... I wouldn't touch you even if you offered yourself for free. You'd disgust me!"
"Showing your true colors, are you? Ye Tianling, you're too arrogant! You think you're invincible just because you broke through to the trashy Swordsman Realm? If I don't teach you how to behave today, then I'm not Ye Yueling!"
Ye Yueling was provoked by Ye Tianling's mocking tone, and her voice instantly became shrill.
Then, with a flicker of her body, the sword in her hand traced a beautiful arc as she lunged toward Ye Tianling.
She didn't exude a strong killing intent, but her attack still possessed the might of the second realm of the Sword Dao—the First Heaven of Sword Beginning Realm!
Her Realm was one level higher than Ye Tianling's current Swordsman Third Heaven Realm.
The sword light was like a bolt of silver silk, stabbing forth with a cold gleam that was especially striking in the dawn's first light.
Ye Tianling didn't move, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
As the sword light closed in, his fingers shot out like lightning.
Two fingers instantly clamped down on the tip of the silver sword—Ye Yueling's attack came to an abrupt halt. Her Swordsman's Force was shattered in an instant by a reverberating power.
"VMMMM—"
The silver Longsword began to vibrate violently.
Swordsman's Force gathered on Ye Tianling's two fingers, and with a sudden exertion of power, he bent the blade.
"SNAP—"
The sword, forged from high-quality steel, was instantly broken!
Gripping the broken tip, Ye Tianling flicked his wrist and slashed forward, drawing a line from top to bottom.
"RRRRIP—"
Ye Yueling's light green silk dress was instantly sliced open down the middle!
A bright red line of blood suddenly appeared on her jade-like skin.
Crimson blood flowed out in an instant.
She was completely exposed, right in front of Ye Tianling.
This left Ye Yueling thunderstruck, too stunned to react immediately.
At that moment, Ye Tianling flicked the broken sword tip in his hand, sending it flying. It instantly pierced through the trunk of an old pine tree.
At the same time, his figure blurred as he closed in on Ye Yueling and viciously slapped her across the face.
"Bitch, that's for insulting my parents earlier!"
Ye Tianling shouted.
"PAK—"
The crisp sound of the slap left Ye Yueling completely dazed. It wasn't until a moment later, when she felt a chill on her body and the sharp, searing pain from her wound, that she realized what had happened and immediately let out a piercing scream.
"AHHH—"
"Ye Tianling, I'm going to kill you!"
The shriek immediately attracted attention.
In the distance, the sound of rustling could be heard.
A mixture of shock and rage on her face, Ye Yueling quickly wrapped her ruined dress around herself and, with a flash of movement, fled the scene at top speed.
Ye Tianling didn't pursue her. Instead, a look of surprise crossed his face. 'So, she's still a virgin? Guess I didn't get cuckolded after all!'
"What's going on?!"
"Ye Tianling, what did you do to Cousin Yueling? Why did I just hear her scream?"
"Ye Tianling, you trash! What kind of depraved thing did you do?"
Just then, three figures rushed over, radiating a palpable killing intent.
They were the third-generation Disciples of the Ye Family: Ye Tianxing, Ye Tiance, and Ye Tianhe.
"What did I do? Why, I did what any man would enjoy doing, of course. After all, I feel fantastic right now!"
Ye Tianling glanced at them coolly, his face showing a defiant arrogance, his tone filled with mockery.
"You little bastard, you're courting death!"
"You dog! As if! You think Yueling would fall for a piece of trash like you?"
"Ye Tianling, what kind of dark arts did you use to take advantage of Yueling? Where is she?"
The trio—Ye Tianxing, Ye Tiance, and Ye Tianhe—immediately surrounded Ye Tianling, trying to pressure him.
"A bunch of useless trash who look down on others!"
Ye Tianling cursed, then added mockingly, "Ye Yueling was the Dao companion my father arranged for me. What does it have to do with any of you if we get close? If you know what's good for you, get lost. Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
"Little bastard, I think you're tired of living!"
Ye Tianxing roared.
"The little brat used his Bloodline Talent to break through. No wonder he's so arrogant!"
Ye Tiance saw the issue and immediately spoke up.
"Doesn't that mean his Dantian collapsed and his Qi Pillar shattered? He's completely crippled! That brat has an Innate Deficiency. He couldn't resist activating his Bloodline Talent. He's just asking for death!"
Ye Tianhe was overjoyed. As if finally relieved, he said.
The three exchanged a glance, the excitement in their eyes obvious. Why were they excited? Because once Ye Tianling lost his Talent, he would no longer be qualified to compete for the position of Ye Family Patriarch!
The three looked away from each other, their expressions turning savage and cruel. They cracked their knuckles, and their hands instinctively moved toward the hilts of the swords at their waists.
"You fools don't know death when you see it! Since you're looking for a beating, I'll be happy to oblige!"
Ye Tianling's expression darkened. With a flicker of movement, his Bloodline Power surged like a raging sea, and his entire aura instantly intensified.
"In all of Martial Arts, only speed is unbreakable!"
Ye Tianling's figure blurred into an afterimage as he shot forward.
He spun in mid-air, swift as a lightning gust, his body twisting in an instant. Completing a high 360-degree rotation, he brutally lashed out with a kick.
"THWACK—"
The kick landed viciously on Ye Tianxing's neck.
"KRAK—"
A sickening sound of bone dislocating came from Ye Tianxing's neck. Although he had reacted with extreme agility, dodging and blocking, he was still nearly decapitated by Ye Tianling's kick and almost died on the spot.
He gasped, tumbling through the air a dozen times before slamming hard onto the ground, dragging for a full ten meters before coming to a stop.
"PFFFT—"
A large mouthful of blood sprayed out. Ye Tianxing was the first to be all but crippled.
"BANG—"
At the same time, Ye Tianling threw a vicious backhand punch at Ye Tiance.
"KRAK—"
With the grating sound of shattering bone, Ye Tiance cried out in agony and dropped to his knees. At least five of his ribs were broken, nearly piercing his internal organs. He immediately coughed up a mouthful of bright crimson blood, and the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.
The remaining one, Ye Tianhe, stumbled backward repeatedly.
He hadn't even had a chance to make a move before he saw Ye Tianling cripple two people in an instant. He couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"Trying to escape? Kneel for me!"
Ye Tianling shot forward like a bolt of lightning, instantly charging toward Ye Tianhe.
