contentedly at the bowl. And with Xia Tian's eyesight, he could clearly see that it was indeed a dead fly that had been soaking in the soup for some time.The restaurant owner lowered his head to take...Chapter 1154: A Battle That Cannot Be Lost

The real battle has finally begun. For Yuan Tianzheng, this is an inevitable battle that he must undertake, though it's not due to the provocation from Xia Tian's words earlier; rather, those words made him realize that he could no longer indulge in fantasies.

Previously, Yuan Tianzheng had hoped that Xia Tian would convey a message to Qingshanshan’s current owner, asking for his mountain back. But after Xia Tian clearly stated that the current owner of Qingshanshan is him, Xia Tian, and not Yuan Tianzheng, Yuan Tianzheng knew he could no longer entertain such illusions.

Yuan Tianzheng had no choice but to forcefully reclaim Qingshanshan. Otherwise, he would have to abandon it. However, he understood that he couldn't give up on the mountain. A hundred years had passed, and the environment of this earth was even more devastated than a century ago, with weaker spiritual energy making survival extremely difficult for cultivators like him. He needed Qingshanshan's rich spiritual energy and rare herbs to survive better and achieve longevity through Dan cultivation.

The fact that left Yuan Tianzheng quite helpless was that the current owner of Qingshanshan must be even stronger than he is. Just the power of the乾坤Great Array alone made it impossible for him to enter. Upon returning to Beijing, after some investigation, he learned about Xia Tian's connection with Qingshanshan. When he personally saw Xia Tian flying earlier, he confirmed that Xia Tian was definitely from Qingshanshan and also realized that he wasn't Xia Tian’s match, no matter how long he meditated or how old Xia Tian might be.

This made Yuan Tianzheng feel that it would be impossible to forcefully reclaim Qingshanshan. That's why before this, he had hoped for the current owner of Qingshanshan to voluntarily return it to him. However, Xia Tian’s injury provided him with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity — his only chance. Therefore, Yuan Tianzheng must act now!

Yu Tianzheng's plan was simple: he intended to seize the opportunity during the summer and then swap places with the current owner of Green Peak Mountain. Once he entered Green Peak Mountain, he could set up a new formation to block others from entering. Even if he wasn’t as powerful as Summer or his master’s sect, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

The appearance of Song Yumei was an unexpected turn for Yu Tianzheng, but it only reinforced his determination to act decisively. Although Song Yumei was very strong, in Yu Tianzheng's view, defeating her wasn’t impossible because he could tell that her cultivation level wasn't particularly high and should be lower than his own. However, what worried him was whether there would be someone even more powerful who might appear beside Summer to protect him.

If he didn’t act now, then it wouldn’t be possible for him to have any future opportunities. If Summer’s power were to recover, Yu Tianzheng would completely lose Green Peak Mountain. If he took a risk right now, there was still a chance of success.

The moment he started acting, Yu Tianzheng didn't hide any strength and launched the most intense attack towards Song Yumei. For him, this battle could only end in victory; failure wasn’t an option!

Song Yumei wielded a white ribbon with one hand while her other hand flitted gracefully through the air. To her, this fight also couldn't afford to fail.

From a selfish standpoint, if she lost, Summer would fall into Yu Family's hands, and his future wouldn’t be good. Perhaps she didn’t know whether she truly loved Summer, but there were some things she was clear about: she had grown very concerned for this man and couldn't just stand by idly while he fell into the clutches of the Yu family, which is why she appeared here.

From the perspective of her own interests in the Song family, she cannot afford to lose either. Recently, the Yuan family has been quite active and seems rather arrogant. She even heard that the Yuan family is eyeing her, and their boldness stems from the sudden appearance of a super expert, Yuan Tianzheng.

This isn’t a society where everything can be resolved through brute force, but Song Yumei knows very well that if a super expert joins a family, it could solve many problems. Back in the day, the Song family was just an obscure small clan, but everything changed with Aunt Mei's arrival.

As the current decision-maker of the Song family, her actions now don’t merely represent herself but also the entire Song family. Therefore, helping Xia Tian at this moment involves significant risks. If she loses, it will cause numerous complications when facing the Yuan family in the future, and internally within the Song family, it won’t be easy to explain either. In fact, most of the people in the Song family are not willing to help Xia Tian; they even regard him as an enemy.

However, winning isn’t easy. Although she has undergone Xia Tian’s bone marrow cleansing and cultivated the Mystic Heart Method, with Night Yumei personally instructing her for some time, her cultivation period is still relatively short, and her skill level hasn't reached a profound depth yet. Facing Yuan Tianzheng now, she actually doesn’t have any advantages.

"Wife Meimei looks more and more like Fairy Sister. But why does she like using ribbons as weapons Isn’t that just like that dead woman Night Yumei" Watching the white ribbon dancing in mid-air and Song Yumei leaping and flying around like a fairy, Xia Tian couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The last time Xia Tian saw Song Yumei, she was practically a copy of Fairy Sister, with identical attire and demeanor. But now he notices that there are significant changes compared to before. Although she still wears the same white robe, in minor details, differences enable him to distinguish between them easily.

Summer was unaware that these changes were actually intentional on Song Yumei's part.

In the past, Ye Yumei wanted to turn Song Yumei into a second Qiyue Qingya. Song Yumei almost became exactly like Qiyue Qingya, but she didn't want to be someone else’s substitute. She couldn’t bear for Summer to think of Qiyue Qingya when hugging her. Therefore, she needed to change herself and create differences between her and Qiyue Qingya.

Ironically, however, Song Yumei found that she rather liked this new image; she even enjoyed the way it made Summer feel obsessed with her. Thus, she only made minor changes, but using white ribbons as weapons was a result of Ye Yumei's influence on her. Currently, she could be seen more as a combination of Qiyue Qingya and Ye Yumei, while her soul remained Song Yumei.

"It still looks quite nice for Wife Yumei to use white ribbons as weapons. It’s much better than that dead woman, Ye Yumei." After observing for a moment, Summer muttered to himself.

If Song Yumei heard this remark, she would definitely be pleased because it indicated that her new image was quite successful; at the very least, Summer liked it.

At this moment, the battle between Song Yumei and Yuan Tianzheng remained neck-and-neck. In terms of cultivation level, Yuan Tianzheng indeed had a slight advantage. However, in terms of movement skills and techniques, Song Yumei was clearly more skilled. Moreover, Yuan Tianzheng found it quite uncomfortable to deal with the strange white ribbon wielded by Song Yumei, so he couldn’t gain an upper hand for now.

Summer had been observing the battlefield all along. Seeing that Song Yumei was in no danger, he naturally didn’t feel like revealing his true strength and happily watched her outstanding performance as a loyal audience member.

Of course, at this moment, Summer wasn't the only spectator.

Chu Yao's eyes were fixed on the battlefield without blinking, seemingly mesmerized. Unconsciously, she found herself envying and feeling jealous of Song Yumei. She could understand why someone so beautiful might be admired, but why was she also so powerful

Yuan Shicai watched the battle with great tension as well, wondering if this newly appeared ancestor in his family would defeat Song Yumei. Unfortunately, due to his limited abilities, all he could see were two blurry shadows.

The last spectator, a man around twenty years old who had appeared alongside Yuan Shicai, wasn’t looking at the battlefield but instead fixated on Summer. Anyone could tell that hatred burned in his eyes.

Being located in an isolated area and it being nighttime, there was no commotion to attract others' attention here. At least for now, there were no new spectators joining them.

The passage of time was swift, and unbeknownst to everyone, the situation on the field had started to shift. Yuan Tianzheng's cultivation was indeed deeper, while Song Yumei's practice duration was relatively short. Despite her initial resilience through agile movements and precise techniques, she began to feel the strain as her stamina waned, placing her unknowingly at a disadvantage.

Unconsciously, anxiety started creeping into Song Yumei’s heart. This was actually her first time engaging in combat with a true master, and she lacked experience in this aspect too. As panic set in, her tactics became disorganized, making it even harder for her to cope.

"This isn't looking good," Xia Tian muttered to himself. If the situation continued like this, his wife MeiMei was destined to lose. It seemed he had no choice but to intervene.

Right as Xia Tian prepared to secretly assist Song Yumei, a dangerous aura suddenly appeared, followed by an enraged shout: "Xia Tian, go to hell!"

"Bang bang bang..." A series of gunshots rang out. The unknown man who had been observing Xia Tian pulled the trigger continuously.

The sound of gunfire snapped Chu Yao, who was engrossed in her duel, back to reality, but unfortunately, it might have come a bit too late.bella did not stay with Avril tonight because she felt that this was a private matter between her instructor and Avril.The reason why she listened outside for some time was out of concern, but when sh...
