Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

"He cannot hurt me."

Chen Long said calmly.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly, "Indeed, just superficial wounds, that's all he can do."

The two knew full well that what Gongsun Yanming had inflicted was far from superficial injuries, especially since her brother had taken many hits for her, and was likely deeply hurt internally.

"We must finish this quickly."

She gripped the Green Simurgh Sword tightly.

Chen Long frowned, "Where is his weakness, exactly?"

They had exchanged hundreds of moves with Gongsun Yanming, only exhausting his Inner Strength, without injuring him at all.

It was only now he realized how difficult it was for his sister to poison Gongsun Yanming last time.

As if guessing his brother's thoughts, Meng Qianqian smiled self-mockingly, "It's a shame, he's already on guard, poison and Gu won't work."

Chen Long replied, "No matter, I will seek out his weakness again. If I can't find it, I'll wear him down, and once I've exhausted him, you can strike."

Meng Qianqian agreed, "Alright."

Chen Long lifted the Heavy Sword once more and charged towards Gongsun Yanming.

Gongsun Yanming glanced sideways.

Even though Chen Long was already heavily injured, he could still maintain such a fierce attack.

"Indeed worthy of Loulan's Princely Heir."

He caught Chen Long's sword blade between his fingers.

Chen Long said coldly, "I belong to the Shang Family, my name is Shang Xu!"

He swung his sword down!

"My father is Shang Jue!"

He slashed horizontally again!

"My mother is Zhongli Yuan!"

"Shang Jiu is my sister!"

His blood surged, mixed with raging fury, causing his Sword Qi to swell instantaneously.

Gongsun Yanming's forearm tingled slightly.

He looked at Chen Long in shock, unable to believe the power displayed by someone of the younger generation.

"But this is still not enough."

He struck Chen Long, sending him flying!

Chen Long crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Meng Qianqian clenched her fingers tightly, "Weakness... his weakness..."

She couldn't be anxious.

Couldn't lose focus.

She needed to be calm.

Gongsun Yanming grabbed Chen Long like a sack, lifting his powerless body high, then slammed him down.

Brother!

Meng Qianqian's grip on the sword hilt almost snapped it.

Gongsun Yanming arrogantly choked the blood-streaked Chen Long, "Your father Shang Jue was killed the same way by me back then."

Chen Long said with difficulty, yet stubbornly, "My father... was stronger than you..."

"Really?" Gongsun Yanming said, "When I send the two of you to meet him underground, you can ask who was truly stronger?"

He punched Chen Long's chest.

Chen Long's body shook, bones breaking and tendons damaged.

As he raised his second punch, Chen Long suddenly grasped his fist.

Gongsun Yanming snorted coldly, "Like an ant trying to stop a chariot!"

Whoosh!

A silver needle struck his wrist's Yangchi Acupoint.

His expression halted.

In an instant, a surge of massive Inner Strength from within him crazily flowed towards the Yangchi Acupoint on his right wrist, like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

Gongsun Yanming's face darkened, he looked back at Meng Qianqian with extreme coldness.

Meng Qianqian flipped her sword to slash at his arm.

An unexpected event occurred.

Gongsun Yanming was slashed, a bloodstain appeared, his sleeve splitting, red blood droplets splattering across the ground.

Chen Long lay on the ground, looking at the drops of blood in front, weak yet satisfied he laughed, "Gongsun Yanming, your Cultivation Technique... has been broken."

Meng Qianqian gasped, "So, she didn't deceive me."

Gongsun Yanming furrowed his brows tightly.

Meng Qianqian laughed heartily, "Want to know who told me your weakness? It was your own daughter, Gongsun Liuying!"

"I told her about you giving her Sterilization Medicine, not only did she fail to understand your good intentions, but she grew resentful and revealed a phrase to me — 'The victory lies in Yangchi.'"

"I pondered for two nights but couldn't figure out the meaning behind her words, until just now when my brother probed out your Cultivation Technique Circulation, I realized your flaw might lie in the Yangchi Acupoint."

"Gongsun Yanming, you truly have a good daughter. You opened the Wushan Forbidden Technique for her, defying fate, and in the end, she sold you out ruthlessly for a child she wasn't even sure existed... Isn't this karma?"

Meng Qianqian didn't receive Gongsun Liuying's "reward" the first time she met her, it was after returning from the Eldest Princess's fiefdom that Gongsun Liuying contacted her on her own.

Honestly, she was quite surprised too.

This father and daughter duo, one sacrificing his daughter's chance to be a mother for self-preservation, the other willing to kill her own father to protect a possibly non-existent child.

Isn't this what being related by blood means?
