305: Chapter 85 Duan Zhengchun, the Professional Scammer

After unleashing four blasts of Six Veins Divine Sword Qi, Duan Yu's face turned pale; his Internal Energy was completely depleted.

He had neglected his Cultivation in the past, so he didn't have much Internal Energy to begin with. Previously, he could only manage two or three blasts of Sword Qi; being able to use four now was the result of diligent Cultivation along the way.

Seeing this, Wu Ya Zi felt utterly speechless.

After the ancestors of the Dali Duan Clan created the Six Veins Divine Sword, they became famous throughout the world with it, yet there were no successors. Now that they finally had someone who supposedly mastered it, it turned out to be a disappointing half-measure; not only was he unskilled in using it, but his Internal Energy was also incredibly weak.

What a waste!

Sighing inwardly, Wu Ya Zi reached out and drew Duan Yu toward him across the air, then proceeded to beat him soundly.

He always kept his word. Earlier, he had said he would beat the other person to vent his anger, and he could not go back on his promise.

To truly vent his anger, he naturally had to make the person feel pain.

Therefore, Wu Ya Zi used a special technique, focusing his strikes only on areas that caused high levels of pain without inflicting serious physical damage.

Duan Yu was powerless to resist. Having never been beaten like this before, he immediately started screaming loudly.

At the sight of his miserable howling, Zhu Danchen and Qin Hongmian, who were nearby, felt they couldn't bear to watch and shut their eyes simultaneously.

Qiao Feng, who was currently fighting the Old Woman of Tian Shan, instinctively glanced over when he heard the noise, only to receive a blow from the Tianshan Six Yang Palm that sent him directly into the lake.

"How dare you get distracted while fighting me, Granny? You truly don't know your limits."

The Old Woman of Tian Shan sneered, hands clasped behind her back, standing at the bow of the boat.

Soon after, Qiao Feng flew up from the lake and landed back on the boat, his brow tightly furrowed.

The Tianshan Six Yang Palm strike just now was restrained by the Old Woman of Tian Shan, so the external damage wasn't high, but the palm force driven into his body was extremely strange.

It was fluctuating between cold and hot, sometimes Yin and sometimes Yang, constantly changing.

This was the first time Qiao Feng had encountered such a thing. Even with his profound Internal Energy, he could only suppress it for the time being; he could neither dissolve nor force it out of his body.

Under these circumstances, whenever he circulated his power, he would inevitably be affected.

It wouldn't be a major issue if he didn't encounter a powerful enemy, but facing a formidable foe would put him at a significant disadvantage.

Helplessly, Qiao Feng cupped his hands toward the Old Woman of Tian Shan and said, "Senior's Martial Arts are superb. Your Junior admits defeat. I beg Senior to tell me the method to dissolve this palm force."

The Old Woman of Tian Shan said indifferently, "Granny already said that once we started fighting, it wouldn't be as simple as just one beating."

"Consider this palm a lesson. If you want to dissolve it, figure it out yourself."

With that, she turned to look at Wu Ya Zi, who was currently beating Duan Yu, and spoke, "Junior Brother, you're being too light. If you truly wanted to vent your anger, I would have directly planted several Life and Death Talismans on this boy, making him suffer from strange itching and pain every day, begging for life but unable to die."

Suffering from strange itching and pain every day, begging for life but unable to die?

Duan Yu and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

If it were truly like that, it would be too vicious!

At this moment, Wu Ya Zi finished his beating and stopped, shaking his head, "No need."

"If that Duan Zhengchun hadn't been paralyzed, I would certainly have used that method to vent my anger. But he is already paralyzed. This boy is only taking punishment for his father; the original matter has nothing to do with him. Using the same methods would be going too far."

Saying this, he casually released the acupoints of Zhu Danchen and Qin Hongmian, then leaped back to the boat where the Old Woman of Tian Shan was enjoying the lake view.

"I've vented my anger. You all may leave now."

He stated lightly, and Wu Ya Zi flicked his sleeve, using True Qi to guide the boat away.

When Zhu Danchen and Duan Yu saw this, they instantly recalled Wang Yu Yan, whom they had encountered here by chance.

She had also used Qi to control the boat back then.

The two couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Truly worthy of being from the same family; their methods were identical.

Qiao Feng and Qin Hongmian saw this situation for the first time and thought simultaneously, 'Indeed, they are Senior Experts!'

After a brief moment of awe, Zhu Danchen began checking Duan Yu's injuries.

After checking, he let out a long sigh of relief, then said to the three others, "The young master looks miserable, but the injuries on his body are only superficial, not affecting his bones or core. Once we reach the city of Suzhou, we can find a pharmacy to buy some medicine to promote blood circulation and dispel stasis for recovery. He should be back to normal in a few days."

Only then did Qiao Feng and the other two relax.

Next, Zhu Danchen, Qiao Feng, and Qin Hongmian continued to discuss the arrangements for the rest of their journey.

Duan Yu entered the cabin to look after Duan Zhengchun.

The soundproofing in the cabin was only average, so Duan Zhengchun heard everything that happened outside.

Seeing Duan Yu's face bruised and swollen, he sighed with guilt, "It's Father who implicated you."

Duan Yu didn't mind. "We are father and son, so what is there to talk about being implicated? However..."

He paused, then advised, "Father, you should stop provoking women outside from now on, otherwise, I feel like I might not be able to handle it."

Duan Zhengchun was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile, "With my current condition, even if I wanted to provoke them, I couldn't."

Duan Yu felt that was true: "Your son misspoke."

Immediately, he asked curiously, "Then, besides Sister Ling, the mother of Fairy Sister, Aunt Qin, and Aunt Ruan, what other romantic debts do you have outside?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but frown.

Duan Yu saw his reaction and explained, "Your son has no intention of prying into your romantic affairs; I just want to have an idea in mind, lest I meet a girl I like later who turns out to be another sister, or when I go out traveling, I get attacked for no reason."

Seeing Duan Yu say this, Duan Zhengchun looked embarrassed, "It's not that I meant to hide it from you. I also want to tell you so you can avoid them, but..."

"I can't remember clearly."

The expression on Duan Yu's face instantly froze.

He felt his fist getting a little hard and subconsciously clenched it, then immediately relaxed it.

He was his own father; he couldn't hit him!

Duan Yu sighed helplessly, "Then your son will be more careful when going out in the future."

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun coughed twice apologetically, "You might not be able to go out frequently in the future."

"Why?" Duan Yu asked.

Duan Zhengchun explained, "Your Imperial Uncle has abdicated and become a monk at Tianlong Temple. As the Imperial Brother, I should naturally inherit the throne, but in my current state, I certainly cannot be a ruler. Therefore, when we return this time, the position of the King of the Dali Kingdom must be taken over by you."

"Once you become the King, you must remain in the capital to handle state affairs and cannot leave easily."

"Therefore, you probably won't be able to leave whenever you please like before."

Duan Yu was stunned, but instantly grasped the crucial point: "Then why were you able to leave Dali so easily after Imperial Uncle abdicated?"

Duan Zhengchun replied, "I haven't officially inherited the throne yet, and I entrusted state affairs to High Minister Gao. Besides, I came out this time for important business."

"What important business?" Duan Yu looked puzzled.

Duan Zhengchun said, "To find you and your several sisters."

Duan Yu: "..."

He felt his fist getting hard again. After thinking for a moment, he restrained himself and tentatively suggested, "Then I can also entrust state affairs to High Minister Gao and come out under the pretext of looking for my sisters, wouldn't that work?"

Duan Zhengchun refuted, "A kingdom cannot be without a monarch for long."

Duan Yu: "..."
