224: Wedding disturbance? I'll eat my hat if you come within a foot of me!

These two men had sharp eyes and an extraordinary bearing; they were clearly not ordinary guards, but Loose Cultivator Geniuses cultivated by their respective nations at great expense, serving as the Crown Princes' personal bodyguards and key combat assets.

As soon as the two appeared, they effortlessly blocked the anger radiating from Kaidun III on behalf of their Crown Princes.

This deliberate act of provocation caused Kaidun III's anger to skyrocket immediately.

Even Princesses Kaina and Kailin were on the verge of anger.

At this moment, Su Yang spoke up.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

"The two Crown Princes have likely admired the two Princesses for a long time. Now that both Princesses are marrying me, it is only natural for them to feel dissatisfied."

Su Yang gently patted the backs of the hands of Kaina and Kailin, who were looking somewhat angry, signaling them to remain calm. He then took a step forward, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Tie Xiong, Huo Yan, and the Soul Transformation Cultivators behind them.

"Since the envoys from various nations are gathered here today, as the new Imperial Son-in-law of Kaiyue Kingdom, I should indeed let you all have a clearer understanding of me."

Tie Xiong immediately said: "Good! Imperial Son-in-law Su is straightforward! In that case, why not let my guard learn a thing or two from your high skills? It will also let everyone open their eyes and see if the Imperial Son-in-law truly possesses the strength to protect Kaiyue Kingdom!"

He pointed at the old man in black.

Huo Yan also said: "This Red Flame whom I brought along is also quite curious about the Imperial Son-in-law's cultivation base and wishes to learn from you as well!"

The scholar in red robes gently waved his feather fan, his gaze locked onto Su Yang.

Su Yang looked at the two eager Soul Transformation Cultivators and shook his head gently: "Engaging in a spar might harm the peaceful atmosphere, and today is, after all, the joyous wedding day for myself and the two Princesses."

Upon hearing this, the mockery on Tie Xiong and Huo Yan's faces deepened, thinking that Su Yang was afraid of fighting.

However, they heard Su Yang continue: "How about this: since the friends brought by the two Crown Princes wish to test my depth, it is not strictly necessary to resort to force."

"As long as the two of them can use their own abilities to get within one zhang of me, I will consider myself defeated. This wedding will be called off immediately, and I will turn around and leave without another word."

Su Yang stood casually in place and pointed to the ground in front of him.

Then, his gaze fell upon the two Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, his tone turning indifferent: "But if they cannot reach me... then I ask the two of you to remain in Kaiyue Kingdom. I happen to be lacking a few servants to serve tea and guard the door."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar!

Getting within one zhang counts as winning? This condition sounded like a complete insult to the two Soul Transformation Cultivators!

Even more shocking was the wager—if Su Yang lost, the wedding would be called off. If the other side lost, the two Soul Transformation Cultivators would have to stay and serve as servants?!

This wager was far too huge, and far too arrogant!

Tie Xiong and Huo Yan were stunned at first, with obvious anger on their faces.

But on second thought, this was an opportunity delivered right to their doorstep! Walking within one zhang? How hard could that be! They had extreme confidence in these two Soul Transformation retainers, whom their nations had exhausted all resources to cultivate!

As long as they ruined this wedding and put in a little effort to apologize to Kaiyue Kingdom later, they would have another chance to marry the two Princesses.

With two Princesses, one for each of them—it was just the right amount to split!

Tie Xiong and Huo Yan looked at each other, and both nodded confidently.

"Good! It's a deal!" Tie Xiong, afraid that Su Yang would go back on his word, agreed immediately.

"The Imperial Son-in-law must keep his word!" Huo Yan also nodded with a sinister smile.

The old man in black robes and Red Flame exchanged a glance, both flashing a hint of anger and coldness in their eyes.

To be so belittled by a Nascent Soul Late-Stage, and to be used as a wager, was simply a great humiliation.

The two made up their minds: they would not only walk over but do so with the most overwhelming posture, preferably forcing this arrogant brat to make a fool of himself on the spot!

Kaidun III had intended to intervene. Seeing Su Yang's calm and confident gaze, he said no more.

He had witnessed Su Yang's strength. Having visited Su Yang frequently over the past half-month, he vaguely knew that while this young man looked young, he should be a person with great capability.

For this wedding, various large and small nations around Kaiyue Kingdom had sent envoys to offer their congratulations.

As the largest Black Iron Empire and Cangyan Dynasty surrounding Kaiyue Kingdom, if Su Yang could intimidate these two nations this time, then even if the Spirit Stones in the Spiritual Vein were taken away by him later, affecting the Kaiyue Empire, at least for a long time, the surrounding nations would not dare to act presumptuously.

Under everyone's gaze, the old man in black robes and Red Flame moved simultaneously.

They did not rush forward rashly but first released their Spiritual Pressure as Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators, attempting to intimidate Su Yang first.

Two powerful Auras rose up. One was sharp as a sword, the other scorching as fire, causing some of the civil officials and envoys watching nearby to feel difficulty breathing.

However, Su Yang remained smiling; the two Spiritual Pressures seemed like nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing against his face.

The two felt a slight tremor in their hearts. But their footsteps did not stop, and they began to walk toward Su Yang step by step.

The first ten steps were easy and natural. But they were still ten zhang away from Su Yang.

Approaching within eight zhang of Su Yang, both of their expressions changed slightly.

They felt the air in front of them seem to become viscous, and an invisible, intangible Spiritual Pressure quietly spread out, enveloping their bodies.

This Spiritual Pressure was not a simple suppression of Aura, but an existence that transcended their level.

Vaguely, they felt that they were not facing a person, but a vast sky, a Realm they could not overcome!

Starting from the eighth zhang, every step they took forward required them to expend twice as much mental energy and strength as before to resist the increasingly strong resistance.

By the time they reached a distance of five zhang, both had sweat on their foreheads.

Sword Qi spontaneously surged around the old man in black robes, emitting a slight humming sound, yet it struggled to pierce through that invisible barrier.

The flaming feather fan in Red Flame's hand shone brilliantly with rolling heat waves, yet it could not disperse that bone-chilling heaviness.

Three zhang! The two's footsteps were now as heavy as lead, and their breathing became heavy.

The True Essence within their bodies circulated frantically, and their Soul Transformation Stage cultivation base was pushed to the limit in an attempt to resist.

Layers of sword shadows appeared behind the old man in black robes. Red Flame was surrounded by a blazing ring of fire.

However, that invisible pressure seemed capable of penetrating all defenses, acting directly upon their Divine Soul and bones!

Two and a half zhang... When only the last two zhang remained, the complexions of the old man in black robes and Red Flame had flushed red, their muscles were bulging, and their bones emitted faint sounds of being unable to bear the load.

They tried their utmost, wanting to lift their legs, which felt as if they were being pressed down by a mountain, to step forward even half a step!

However, it was impossible! Those last two zhang were like a natural chasm!

"Thump!" "Thump!" Two muffled sounds were exceptionally clear in the silent plaza.

Under the gaze of everyone, who were shocked to the extreme, the two Loose Cultivator Geniuses with Early Spirit Transformation stage cultivation bases, the two Loose Cultivator Geniuses cultivated by the Black Iron Empire and Cangyan Dynasty with all their resources, actually had their knees go weak at a distance of two zhang from Su Yang, and they knelt down on the ground in unison!

The two touched their heads to the ground, trembling all over, and could no longer move a single inch!

It was not that they wanted to kneel, but that the terrifying Spiritual Pressure had completely crushed their will and bodies, forcing them to uncontrollably submit under this terrifying Spiritual Pressure...
