“Kill, kill, kill, kill…”

Everyone was shocked by this scene and no one could react in time.

How did this happen? Qin Shaobai who had the upper hand and was restraining Yang Dingtian so much that he couldn't resist was now being tormented in midair. His clothes were in tatters and his entire body was naked. His body was in a bloody mess as his blood spurted violently, he looked even worse than Yang Dingtian had been earlier.

The current Qin Shaobai's meridians were all ruined by Yang Dingtian's drawn-out brutal sword spirit, his entire body was in bad shape. Of course, he didn't have any signs of resisting and allowed Yang Dingtian to continue tormenting him.

“Ahh! Ahh!” There was a mournful scream that came from the tall platform, a beautiful woman rushed out.

It was Yang Shishi, Qin Shaobai's birth mother. Earlier, she had been hiding in the crowd and silently witnessed how her son tried to kill Yang Dingtian. Afterward, when the situation changed and now that it was Yang Dingtian who was trying to kill Qin Shaobai, her mind felt as though it was struck by lightning. She instantly lost her senses when she saw her son was about to be killed, it was as if she suddenly woke up.

“Bang!” Qin Shaobai's body crashed hard on the ground and was motionless and silent like a lump of mud.

Yang Dingtian landed and stomped on Qin Shaobai's head, he spoke in an apathetic voice, “You shameless bastard. You did something hideous and was spotted by Tang Xin. You killed her and then you framed Yanyan. You even slandered Madam Ximen with slanderous rumors, tainting her reputation. You deserve death and you deserve to be killed…”

Afterward, he aimed at Qin Shaobao's lower body. With a vigorous and violent slash, he used his sharp sword to turn Qin Shaobai into a eunuch.

“No!” Yang Shishi let out a miserable shriek.

“Pig Slaying Sword Art! Chop off the limbs and severe the head!” Yang Dingtian raised the giant sword and was just about to chop off Qin Shaobai's head and limbs. Right now, his eyes were blood red and his face was icy cold and bloodthirsty, as though he was possessed.

“No! no… Please… Mercy on the blade, mercy on the blade…” Yang Shishi sobbed and exclaimed, “Yang Dingtian, listen to me for a moment… just a moment…”

Yang Dingtian looked up coldly and faced Yang Shishi, he said, “Speak!”

“I don't know if Shaobai is dead or alive, but as long as your sword doesn't slash now. I will forget everything that you have done to Shaobai. The Northwest Qin Clan will not take revenge in any form. Otherwise, no matter where you try to escape in this world, the Northwest Qin Clan will find you and severe you into pieces,” Yang Shishi proposed.

“I will not be threatened!” Yang Dingtian's giant blade started to fall down. He couldn't sense Dongfang Niemie anymore and due to the surging rage he was feeling, he simply desired to dismember Qin Shaobai into thousands of pieces.

In order to kill Qin Shaobai, he had to summon the brutal sword spirit in the Night Owl Giant Blade to fight. As a result, his master's consciousness was shattered because he helped to suppress the sword spirit's backlash. How would Yang Dingtian not be infuriated?

“Wait! WAIT! I will… I will ask the entire Northwest Qin Clan to fully support… support you as the City Lord of Cloud Heaven City. As long as you don't drop your blade,” Yang Shishi was wailing as she spoke. The love she has for her son is engraved deep into her bones, otherwise, she wouldn't have offered such conditions.

“The things that I want, I will go get myself. I don't need other people to give them to me,” Yang Dingtian spoke proudly.

“We will proclaim Ximen Yanyan as not guilty. I will immediately return her to you.” Yang Shishi spoke with anxiety.

“I already won the duel, hence Ximen Yanyan is already not guilty. Have you finished speaking? If you have, I shall dismember Qin Shaobai into thousands of pieces!” Yang Dingtian spoke coldly before he was about to slash down at Qin Shaobai's neck.

“Foolish child, wake up…” Dongfang Niemie's frail voice suddenly echoed in Yang Dingtian's mind.

Yang Dingtian's body shivered and his eyes instantly regained clarity. He welled up with ecstasy just as his sword was about to severe Qin Shaobai's head, he quickly twisted his wrist.

“Bang!” The giant sword struck into the hard ground of the plaza and left a deep crack.

“Master, you're alright?!” Yang Dingtian was ecstatic.

“I don't know… However, I will certainly have to leave you for a period of time. My consciousness was shattered when I tried to control the brutal sword soul earlier. I will have to re-condense my shattered spirit soul again. If I succeed, I will be able to accompany you again. If I can't, I will have to leave you forever… ” Dongfang Niemie spoke with a weak voice, “Hence, I will not be around during this period of time. You will have to rely on yourself.”

“Master, you will be back. I believe in you.” Yang Dingtian spoke loudly in his heart, “Moreover, no matter how far I need to go, I will find a way to bring you back from the other side. I will also find a way to rescue Master Uncle Ximen. These are my missions. They are my greatest missions ever since I came to this world.”

“Silly child, you're still so obstinate…” Dongfang Niemie said, “When at the most dangerous moment, you risked having your spirit soul destroyed by the sword soul rather than use the Evil Soul Art. You aren't like that Great Devil Dugu Xiao who would concede defeat and compromise. I am very proud and glad…”

Yang Dingtian replied, “I knew that the price was for you to leave me… I might already have regrets in my heart…”

“Do not regret, you did the right thing.” Dongfang Niemie informed, “I'm going to leave now. I do not know when I will awaken or if I will ever awaken again. But I have two things that I have to tell you. So listen up.”

“Yes, master. I will do it according to your advice,” Yang Dingtian replied.

“Firstly… From today, from now on, from this moment onwards, don't use the Night Owl Giant Blade again. I know that it is very powerful. Once you succeed in using the sword spirit inside, you can even kill experts that are 20 classes superior to you. But promise me, from today onwards, You will not use this sword. Otherwise, you will never be able to temper a true sword soul in your life and your cultivation will stop as it is. A true sword soul is a thousand folds, no, it is even ten thousand folds stronger. You can sell this sword or throw it into the lava. In short, you must never use it again. In fact, don't even touch it even if you are to become swordless because of it,” Dongfang Niemie spoke in a solemn voice.

“Yes, master. From now on, I will never use this sword soul. I won't even touch it,” Yang Dingtian affirmed.

“Swear on it!” Dongfang Niemie demanded.

“I swear to never use the sword soul within this sword,” Yang Dingtian said.

“That will be good. If you are to use it one more time, you will truly ruin your path towards the perfect sword soul. After this incident, you can immediately go to the southwest continent and look for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Then, you would need to go to the Flame Cloud Devil Cave to search for that extreme-grade earth fire. You can use the fire to forge your young sword and begin tempering the soul sword that truly belongs to you. This is the most important thing for you now,” Dongfang Niemie said. His voice getting softer and weaker by the moment.

“Yes, master. Once things are settled here. I will set off to the southwest continent to look for the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.” Yang Dingtian said, “Please hurry up and rest so that you can quickly condense your shattered spirit soul.”

“Then goodbye child. When I'm not around, you have to rely on yourself. As for Qin Shaobai…” Dongfang Niemie's voice got softer and softer until it was finally inaudible. It had completely vanished deep into Yang Dingtian's mind, he couldn't even finish saying the things regarding about Qin Shaobai.

Yang Dingtian's heart was filled with reluctance and sorrow. But Yang Dingtian strongly believed that his master would return and his voice would echo in his mind again. Right now, Yang Dingtian's heart was bursting with rage and wrath at the moment he heard Dongfang Niemie's speech gradually becoming silent.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yang Dingtian, they wondered if he would slash down his sharp sword. He was the victor of the trial by duel and had the authority to take down the head of the loser.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian's eyes looked towards Yang Shishi and said, “Madam Qin. I can stop my blade and I can even return Qin Shaobai back to you. But you have to promise me one condition.”

“Say it, say it. No matter what the condition is, I'll agree to it.” Yang Shishi said, “Even if you need me to jump down from here…”

In an instant, everyone looked over at Yang Dingtian, wondering what kind of condition he would want. Yang Yan and the others were filled with animosity and wariness.

Yang Dingtian said, “My conditions are simple. Return the innocence that belongs to Ximen Yanyan and Madam Ximen back to them.”

At this moment, Yanyan happened to regain consciousness and heard Yang Dingtian talking. There was warmth in her eyes and the most tender part of her heart seems to have been struck hard.

“I ask you. Did Ximen Yanyan kill Tang Xin?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“No, Tang Xin wasn't killed by Yanyan,” Yang Shishi replied.

Yang Dingtian asked again, “Then, who killed Tang Xin?”

“It… It was…” Yang Shishi's eyes flashed with determination, she said, “She was killed by me, Yang Shishi. She saw something that she shouldn't have, so I killed her and framed Ximen Yanyan.”

There was a sudden uproar.

Yang Dingtian was startled. Tang Xin was definitely killed by Qin Shaobai, but Yang Shishi said that it was her. Was this considered love as deep as the ocean?

Immediately after, Yang Dingtian questioned, “What about the rumors about Madam Ximen? Who spread them?”

Yang Shishi quickly responded, “It was also me! In order to break your morale, and to let Shaobai ascend to the Cloud Heaven City Lord position, I desperately tried to slander your innocence.”

Everyone let out gasps of surprise and looked at Yang Shishi with disbelief.

Yang Yan and the others had this ashen expression and were trembling from anger.

They wouldn't have expected the ending to be like this. Every one of them assumed there was only one result and that was where Qin Shaobai instantly killing Yang Dingtian, where Madam Ximen would have to carry the burden of this scandal for life, where Ximen Lie and his men were banished from Cloud Heaven City. The Yang Clan assisted Qin Shaobai because they wanted true control over the Cloud Heaven City.

They had gotten the first half nearly correct but they didn't expect the drastic change in the situation.

Not only was Yang Dingtian not dead, he even demonstrated his prowess and even tormented Qin Shaobai.

And in order to save Qin Shaobai's life, Yang Shishi actually confessed to all the crimes.

As such, Qin Shaobai would be completely notorious now while Yang Dingtian and Madam Ximen would have their innocence and honor restored, Yanyan would truly be not guilty.

This result was a much better result than Yang Dingtian had imagined.

Yang Dingtian turned around and shouted towards the tall platform, “Grand Elder Yang Yan. You should have heard it. Tang Xin wasn't killed by Ximen Yanyan, she is innocent! Release her!”

Yang Yan's expression abruptly changed and the muscles on his face twitched. He waved his hand and Ximen Yan released the blade that was placed on Yanyan's neck reluctantly. Ximen Ju waved his hand gently and took away the red crystal, he released the mystic qi restriction on Yanyan.

After Yanyan recovered her mystic qi, she immediately jumped off from the city wall and dashed towards Yang Dingtian at an incredible speed. Under the attention of everyone, she plunged into Yang Dingtian's embrace like a lump of flames.

“My husband, during these days, I have constantly been thinking about you. Thinking about your voice, your embrace, and your naughty hands,” Yanyan cried and spoke in a tender voice.

Yang Dingtian held Yanyan tightly and voraciously sniffed the scent from her body.

“Stop sniffing. I've only managed to take a shower once during these past few days,” Yanyan spoke in a delicate voice.

“I still like this smell very much.” Yang Dingtian smiled and patted on her back. “You go over to big brother Ximen Lie's side first. Mother isn't looking too good and Sister Ningning seems to have fainted. You go take care of them!”

“Okay!” Yanyan replied in a soft voice, she reluctantly tried to leave Yang Dingtian's embrace. Her beautiful eyes released a gentle sentiment as she spoke, “My husband. Tonight I will tell you everything that happened to me five years ago. Only then will Yanyan say goodbye to my past and become a weak and delicate girl. I will become a wife that only cooks and washes your clothes for you, okay?”

“Okay,” Yang Dingtian spoke in a tender voice.

Throughout the entire process, the plaza was absolutely silent as they watched at how Yang Dingtian and Ximen Yanyan publicly displayed their affection. Some of them had bliss in their eyes, some had envy, while some were jealous.

Ximen Yanyan was a peerless individual who was the no.1 beauty in the northwest and the princess of Cloud Heaven City.

It was the dream of all men to be able to obtain her heart and body.

After turning back three times in a single step, Yanyan left Yang Dingtian's embrace and returned back to Madam Ximen's side.

“Madam Qin, please come and bring your son away,” Yang Dingtian said.

Yang Shishi jumped off from the city wall and immediately ran to the front of Yang Dingtian. Her seductive body bowed before she said, “Thank you.”

She subsequently crouched down while trembling and carried Qin Shaobai, who was clearly in a bloody mess.

“Shaobai! Shaobai!” Yang Shishi immediately dug her charming face into her son's chest which was drenched with blood. She then let out a sorrowful and grieving cry.

Despite the fact that Qin Shaobai deserved this, Yang Dingtian still didn't know how to react to this scene. He nodded to Yang Shishi and immediately walked towards the Black Blood Cavalry.

“Long Live City Lord Yang Dingtian! Long Live!” The brothers from the Black Blood Cavalry suddenly cheered out. At the beginning only around a hundred people were cheering, now, there were a few thousand individuals yelling out.

It was obvious that Yang Dingtian's great victory had given them a great boost in morale, they even yelled out Yang Dingtian as the city lord in advance.

After the Black Blood Cavalry finished yelling, the rest of the martial artists in the Cloud Heaven City actually followed immediately after. The entire city plaza was instantly filled with cheers.

Qin Shaobai had created rumors to ruin Yang Dingtian's reputation. However, many of the members of the Cloud Heaven City didn't even believe it from the start.

They believed that Yang Dingtian relied on his own talents to have rapid progress in cultivation. In their hearts, they were extremely hopeful for Yang Dingtian to demonstrate his prowess again, giving a slap to all those rumor mongers.

Right now, Yang Dingtian actually did it!

Not only did he prove his talents and strength again, he even gave a ruthless slap to the faces of Yang Yan and the others. He had completely destroyed the Northwest Qin Clan and Yang Yan's group's conspiracy to topple the Cloud Heaven City.

Yang Dingtian didn't disappoint the supporters and he didn't let down their trust.

When Yang Yan and his men who were standing on the city walls saw this scene, their expressions instantly changed. He had nearly gathered all the members of the Cloud Heaven City for this duel and he even invited the influential figures in the Cloud Heaven City. He wanted to let everyone see how Qin Shaobai was going to demonstrate his prowess and let everyone see how Yang Dingtian perished in defeat, putting despair into all of Yang Dingtian's supporters. But he never would have expected for all these to be a great advertisement for Yang Dingtian again.

Of course, there was no way for them to know that Qin Shaobai would lose this duel. No matter from which angle or from any factor, Qin Shaobai shouldn't have lost and Yang Dingtian should have died. Who would have known that Qin Shaobai would be defeated? Right now, they had to prepare to face the thunderous wrath of the Northwest Qin Clan's Patriarch.

The third young master of the Northwest Qin Clan was a genius in the northwest continent, he was actually ruined in the Cloud Heaven City and in the hands of Yang Dingtian. It also indirectly meant that he was ruined in the hands of Yang Yan and his men.

Yang Yan had the intention to stop all these, but he was at his wit's end and couldn't just go back on his words in front of everyone to kill Yang Dingtian in fury right? Yang Yan couldn't help but turn to look at Ximen Ju. It was his basic instinct since Ximen Ju was the man with the deepest schemes in the Cloud Heaven City.

Ximen Ju looked on at the cheering crowd as they yelled out 'Long Live Yang Dingtian', he had this gloomy expression on his face.

Under the attention from everyone, Yang Dingtian walked step by step back to the Black Blood Cavalry's camp.

Ximen Ju had this flash in his eyes while he indifferently yelled out towards Yang Dingtian's back, “Hold on!”
