The three of them joined forces and once again fought a fierce and evenly matched battle against the madman Nie Feng.
Hearing the commotion outside, Mingyue rushed over. Dressed in a bright red wedding gown, she immediately saw that the newlywed Dugu Ming had collapsed and died. Mingjing, the Human-Faced Envoy, and the First Seeker of Victory were joining forces to fight against the berserk Nie Feng.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Nie Feng had eliminated Dugu Ming. However, the Ming family's generations-long responsibility to protect Wushuang City prevented her from standing idly by.
Mingyue turned and went back into the house to retrieve the Peerless Yin Sword. Just as she was about to join the battle, she saw Mingjing being kicked away by Nie Feng, crashing heavily in front of her. Mingjing had been kicked twice, her meridians severed, and she weakly grabbed Mingyue's hand: "Quickly... retrieve the Peerless Yang Sword... only by combining the two swords... and using 'Love That Shakes the City'... can we subdue Nie Feng..." She breathed her last before she could finish speaking.
Suppressing her grief, Mingyue immediately rushed to the city lord's mansion to retrieve the sword. Unbeknownst to her, the mysterious figure reappeared beside Mingjing's corpse, absorbing a wisp of black energy: "The Guan Dao borrowing Mingjing's body is quite a clever plan." With that, he vanished into the crowd.
When Mingyue returned wielding her twin swords, the First Seeker and the Human-Faced Envoy were already showing signs of defeat. She suddenly realized her dilemma: to unleash the "Love That Captivates the City" spell, two people in mutual affection needed to join forces. But she had never been in love with anyone before; where could she find someone who shared her feelings?
Suddenly, the masked envoy snatched the Yang Sword and shouted, "Mingyue! The survival of Wushuang City depends on this! Follow me!" With that, he charged towards Nie Feng, holding a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right, intending to join forces with her.
Mingyue felt a pang of unease. The human-faced envoy, bearing the appearance of Dugu Yifang, was old enough to be her father. To expect her to combine her swords with this man? It was utterly absurd.
Seeing the critical situation in Wushuang City, Mingyue had no choice but to draw the Wushuang Yin Sword and fly forward to help.
The three of them joined forces to attack, and although they did not use their true dual swords combination, they were able to temporarily restrain the berserk Nie Feng.
However, the mad blood within Nie Feng, now possessed by demonic possession, suddenly boiled over, causing his strength to surge once more during the fierce battle. He unleashed a powerful kick, aiming straight for the man's throat.
The masked envoy hastily raised his sword to parry, adopting a posture of fighting to the death. Taking advantage of the opportunity, First Seeker circled behind Nie Feng, waiting for an opening, while Bright Moon stood guard behind the masked envoy to provide support.
Unexpectedly, just as Nie Feng's attack was about to land, the masked envoy suddenly withdrew and retreated, completely exposing Mingyue to Nie Feng. Caught off guard, Mingyue was forced to clash head-on with Nie Feng and was kicked away by his powerful leg.
Taking advantage of the situation, the masked envoy thrust his sword at Nie Feng's leg, but was instead knocked away by the opponent's powerful force. In an instant, the experts of Wushuang City suffered heavy casualties, Mingyue fell to the ground severely injured, and her divine weapon was lost.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Man-Faced Envoy abandoned everyone and fled in panic. Now free from restraint, Nie Feng immediately turned his attention to the First Seeker of Victory, launching a fierce and relentless offensive.
"Heh heh! This coward is truly utterly useless."
The mysterious man sneered and then chased after the direction in which the human-faced envoy had fled.
Mingyue struggled to get up when she suddenly saw a graceful figure gracefully approaching.
"Taking this pill will heal your injuries."
"Who are you......?"
Mingyue gazed at the woman before her who looked remarkably like herself, and a strange sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.
373 Is it fashionable now to find a beautiful woman for the leader of the dragon?
"Take your medicine and heal your wounds immediately. My identity is irrelevant."
The woman placed the pill into Mingyue's palm, picked up the lost Wushuang Yang Sword, and prepared to join the battle.
"Wait! Why do you look exactly like me?"
After taking the elixir, Mingyue finally realized that the woman who had suddenly appeared was just like her reflection in a mirror.
This is absolutely incredible!
Mingyue, who grew up in the Ming family, clearly never had a twin sister.
She never imagined that she would have a sister who looked so much like her.
"I am Second Dream! I'm also surprised that we look so alike..."
The newcomer was none other than the daughter of the Second Sword Emperor, Second Dream!
"There's no time; we must act quickly..."
Before he could finish speaking, First Seeker of Victory was sent flying by Madman Nie Feng and crashed heavily outside Wushuang City.
With no opponents around, Madman Nie Feng roared, and his violent aura swept across the entire area.
The martial arts practitioners watching the fight were terrified and fled in panic.
"Damn it! Follow me!"
Second Dream, with a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right, charged forward without hesitation.
Mingyue was deeply moved when she saw that Mingyue was not from Wushuang City, yet was still willing to help her.
After taking the elixir, she once again raised the Peerless Yin Sword to meet the madman Nie Feng.
The two had just leaped into the air when the madman Nie Feng immediately noticed and roared as he pounced on them.
After a series of fierce battles, his strength has surpassed that of the past.
Mingyue was only at the peerless realm, and under the pressure of the madman Nie Feng, his figure froze.
Upon seeing this, he immediately stood in front of her without hesitation.
A surge of warmth welled up in Mingyue's heart. She broke free from the restraints and burst forth.
At that very moment, the peerless Yin-Yang swords seemed to be sensed by something and spontaneously converged.
In an instant, a dazzling seven-colored light burst forth from the sword's edge.
Enveloped in light, the crazed Nie Feng roared in pain and retreated repeatedly.
"This is... 'A Love That Could Topple a City'?"
Mingyue was puzzled. Legend had it that this move could only be performed by lovers who were in perfect harmony, but the second dream was clearly of a woman...
Before they could even think, a set of profound sword techniques had already been imprinted in their minds.
They simultaneously drew their swords, their combined swords unleashing a torrent of sword energy!
Despite his strength, the madman Nie Feng was repeatedly defeated by the onslaught of "Love in the City".
As the sword light flashed, its dazzling seven-colored brilliance completely suppressed his ferocious power.
The dazzling seven-colored light seemed to contain a strange power, and under the shroud of this light, the mad blood in Nie Feng's body gradually subsided.
In a short while, he regained his senses and became the Nie Feng he used to be.
As he regained his senses, that earth-shattering, breathtaking love story vanished.
"What happened..." Nie Feng looked down at his blood-stained clothes, then glanced at the two women with similar appearances not far away, and muttered to himself.
Seeing that Nie Feng was unharmed, the two women finally relaxed. They looked at each other and caught an incredulous look in each other's eyes.
"'Love That Shatters the City' truly lives up to its reputation as a peerless sword technique second only to 'Sword Twenty-Three'!"
Just then, two figures quietly appeared in front of everyone.
"You...you are the Sword Saint, Senior?" Although Mingyue had never seen Dugu Jian in person, she had admired his portrait since childhood. Despite the fact that the person in front of her was very different from the image in the painting, she could still vaguely recognize him.
"Indeed." The newcomers were none other than Dugu Jian and Dugu Qiubai.
"Sword Saint, why are you hesitating to make a move?" Mingyue asked, puzzled. Wushuang City was Dugu Jian's homeland, yet he had been watching from the sidelines, allowing the mad Nie Feng to wreak havoc.
"The Peerless City of today is no longer what it once was." After comprehending the Twenty-Third Sword Technique, Dugu Jian's obsession with the Peerless City had faded. If he had to choose between the Peerless City and the Azure Dragon Society, he would choose the latter without hesitation.
Since Dugu Yifang fell to the level of Wangshengdu, and the human-faced envoy usurped his place, this city has become meaningless to him.
"Besides, if I were to make the move, how could I witness the legendary 'love that could topple cities'?" Dugu Jian had heard of this legend since he was young, when he and his wife once wielded the Peerless Yin-Yang Sword. However, despite their deep affection, they were never able to unleash this move, and at one point they thought the legend was just a myth.
Chapter 206 Happy Event
Even today, after leaving Shuiyue Cave, he heard that there was a happy event in Wushuang City, so he came here on his way and was fortunate enough to witness this legendary sword move.
"Senior is too kind..." Mingyue blushed slightly upon hearing this. This "love that could topple cities" was far removed from the legends. Could it be that Second Dream was actually a man, and she had fallen for her...?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Second Dream.
Unexpectedly, the second dream was also looking at her. Their eyes met, each with their own thoughts.
Their eyes met, and the two hurriedly looked away, their cheeks burning.
Nie Feng finally came to his senses and realized that he had caused a huge disaster.
Just then, Dugu Jian happened to be present, so he quickly stepped forward:
"Senior Dugu, I..."
"No need to say more!"
Dugu Jian waved his hand.
"I am aware of what happened. This despicable scoundrel used his numbers to bully and kill your senior brother."
"What's even more hateful is that they dared to disobey the Great Dragon Head's orders; they deserve to die."
As his skills improved, Dugu Jian felt more and more that Ximen Yu was unfathomable.
The fact that Nie Feng was sent must have a deeper meaning.
"Since the Great Dragon Chief has ordered you to take Mingyue to Azure Dragon Peak, then Mingyue will go with you."
"Why don't you come along too, young lady?"
"I'm sure the Great Dragon King will be overjoyed to see you two."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Dugu Qiubai, recalling the behavior of the other dragon leaders, couldn't help but facepalm.
Could it be that finding beautiful women for the Dragon King has become a trend?
Am I outdated?
Thinking of this, Dugu Qiubai secretly decided that he also needed to find a few beauties for the Great Dragon Head.
Different road non-phase plan!
Nie Feng felt helpless after hearing this.
Why do people assume he was searching for beautiful women for the Great Dragon Leader?
His mission should clearly be to marry Mingyue.
On second thought, this misunderstanding isn't so bad after all.
He had no feelings for the bright moon.
If she and that woman who resembles the bright moon could be offered to the Great Dragon Head,
Mission accomplished.
Second Dream had long admired Ximen Yu's reputation and had no objection to this arrangement.
Seeing the two goddesses' expressions, Nie Feng knew that his plan had succeeded.
Just as he was about to head back, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken care of Qin Shuang's remains when he lost control.
He hurriedly gave a few instructions and rushed to the place where his senior brother had died.
After Nie Feng left, Dugu Qiubai suddenly became serious and looked into the distance:
"Brother Dugu, have you noticed?"
"good......"
The two men exchanged a glance and told the two women to wait where they were.
With a flash, he disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already deep in the secluded forest outside Wushuang City.
The human-faced envoy and the corpse of the first victor had been cold for some time.
The strange-looking person was drawing a mysterious black aura from the two of them.
"Yifang? You've really returned!"
Dugu Jian stared at the person in front of him. Despite the other person's disguise, he recognized him at a glance.
This person was none other than the former Lord of Wushuang City, now a top expert ranked twenty-fifth on the Heavenly Dao Golden List—
The Ferry to Rebirth: A Lonely Wanderer!
"Big brother..."
Dugu Yifang inhaled the two streams of black energy, his face flushed, and he revealed an intoxicated expression.
After catching his breath, he spoke to Dugu Jian:
"After decades apart, my elder brother is even more charismatic than before!"
When Dugu Jian left Wushuang City to watch the battle at the Sword Sect, he had not yet comprehended the Twenty-Three Sword Techniques.
Now that he has mastered the twenty-third level of the sword technique, his once white hair has turned completely black, and his demeanor is far superior to what it used to be.
