100: The Dissolving Power Technique? Even a dog wouldn't practice that.

"Impossible, I, Shen Guyan, could never lose. Even if someone is stronger than me, it's definitely not you, Duan Zhengchun," Shen Guyan roared.

"Is that so? I'd like to see what methods you have."

After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he performed the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

Instantly, Shen Guyan's Internal Energy poured out like a flood breaking through a dam, completely beyond his control.

"The... Skill for Dissolving Internal Energy? Are you... are you from the Star Constellation Sect?" Shen Guyan looked at Duan Zhengchun in shock.

Hearing Shen Guyan's words, Duan Zhengchun looked helpless.

These Jianghu people really have long hair but short sight; why is it that whenever he uses the Northern Darkness Divine Art, they think he's using the Skill for Dissolving Internal Energy?

However, this also showed just how notorious the Star Constellation Sect was.

Ding Chunqiu had certainly committed no shortage of evil in the Jianghu over the years.

"Heh, I didn't expect that the grandson of the Great Hero Shen Lang would be nothing more than a short-sighted waste."

"The Skill for Dissolving Internal Energy? Even dogs wouldn't practice such a trash Cultivation Technique," Duan Zhengchun said disdainfully.

"You... impossible, this is definitely the Skill for Dissolving Internal Energy."

"No, could it be the Sun Moon Holy Cult's Star Sucking Great Technique?" Shen Guyan's expression changed as he cried out in alarm.

It was truly exasperating; they knew of the Skill for Dissolving Internal Energy and the Star Sucking Great Technique, but not the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

This also showed that the Xiaoyao School was very well hidden.

Their name was rarely heard in the Jianghu.

"Idiot..." Duan Zhengchun curled his lip and said disdainfully.

While speaking, Duan Zhengchun did not stop his hands.

Grandmaster-level Internal Energy was quite tempting. However, Shen Guyan had only Cultivated for a short time, so his Internal Energy's purity couldn't compare to those Grandmasters who had refined theirs for decades.

Feeling that half of the Internal Energy in his body had already vanished in such a short time, he knew that if this continued, his Internal Energy would soon run dry.

At that point, he would be truly finished.

"Stop, stop! I surrender, I surrender!" Shen Guyan said in terror.

Everyone was shocked; no one expected Shen Guyan to lose so quickly.

Tang Lan and Tang Lingfeng, however, showed no surprise, because they knew that Duan Zhengchun's strength was already at the level of a Great Grandmaster.

A Great Grandmaster against a Grandmaster—wasn't that a guaranteed victory?

"Surrender? Do you plan to go back on your word? Are you going to lick back the spit you spat out?"

"Did you forget what you just said? 'Decide the winner, and decide life and death.'"

"If the one losing right now were me, would you let me go?" Duan Zhengchun sneered.

"You, I..."

Shen Guyan was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer.

If it were him, he certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

Anyone who dared to fight him for a woman absolutely could not be let go.

"One must be as good as their word. You must finish the path you chose, even if you have to crawl on your knees, right?"

"Remember, keep your eyes open in your next life, and don't be so arrogant," Duan Zhengchun said coldly.

Then, he suddenly exerted force with his palm, activating the Northern Darkness Divine Art; in just a few breaths, Shen Guyan's Internal Energy was completely sucked dry.

His Internal Energy drained, Shen Guyan's Face turned deathly pale as he collapsed onto the ground, unable to muster any strength.

"You... you've crippled my martial arts. I won't let you get away with this!" Shen Guyan looked at Duan Zhengchun with eyes full of venomous hatred.

"Won't let me go? I'm so scared. But I, for one, dislike being threatened the most."

"Even if you are Shen Lang's grandson, it won't work. Since we made a bet, then fulfill the promise." After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he struck out with a palm, hitting Shen Guyan directly in the chest.

"Pfft..."

Shen Guyan's eyes widened, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and finally went still in unwilling silence.

Until his death, he didn't understand: how did Duan Zhengchun dare?

He was the grandson of the Great Hero Shen Lang; in the Jianghu, who wouldn't give Face when his grandfather's name was mentioned?

Why did this useless Prince, Duan Zhengchun, actually dare to kill him without any hesitation?

"What a waste, he must have a hole in his head."

"He's already in this state, and he still dares to threaten me?"

"This Prince fears threats the least. I also want to see if your grandfather, Shen Lang, will take action against me for a piece of trash like you," Duan Zhengchun sneered.

He was very clear about Shen Guyan's situation; he had dueled his sworn brother to inherit the position of Valley Master of Fulong Valley.

The result? His sworn brother had no intention of competing with him at all and directly yielded the position of Valley Master.

In a fit of rage, this fellow actually smashed his own father's coffin and ran away out of shame.

It was also at this time that he met Tang Lan, if not for his own intervention.

Later, Shen Guyan would have become the Incarnation of Young Master Feather and, under Hundred Knowledgeable's deception, become the Great Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Society.

He would have also become a major villain.

As expected, how could someone with such a Heart-Nature be a good person?

Killing him was just killing him; it could be considered ridding the Jianghu of a scourge in advance.

His appearance had also changed Tang Lan's destined fate.

"So fragile. This is it? Trash..." After glancing at him, Duan Zhengchun stepped off the martial arts stage.

"Virtuous Son-in-law, you killed Shen Guyan; the Shen Family will definitely not let you off," Tang Lingfeng said, looking at Duan Zhengchun with a serious expression.

"No matter. Whatever methods the Shen Family has, I'll take them on."

"When the Shen Family comes knocking, Father-in-law, you can just tell them the truth; just push everything onto me," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"What are you saying? You are my, Tang Lingfeng's, son-in-law, and my Tang Clan is also reputable in the Jianghu."

"The fault in this matter does not lie with you; no matter the time, the matter of breaking the engagement still exists."

"We were already willing to provide compensation, yet he continued to be difficult and even proposed a duel; losing his life was his own doing."

"My Tang Clan does not look for trouble, but we do not fear it either."

"If the Shen Family dares to come looking for trouble, my Tang Clan is no pushover either," Tang Lingfeng said coldly.

"That's right, Brother Chun, you don't need to worry. This matter started because of me; I won't let you bear it alone," Tang Lan said.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing should be handled by a man; you don't need to involve yourself," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Alright, it's over now. Let's go eat."

"Don't let these trivial matters affect your mood," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, my Virtuous Son-in-law is right. Let's not let this matter affect our mood," Tang Lingfeng said with a smile.

To Duan Zhengchun, this matter was just a small interlude.

He didn't take it to heart at all, while on the other side, Tang Lingfeng also had someone send Shen Guyan's body back to the Shen Family.

It could be considered giving Shen Lang some Face.

The meal was enjoyed by both host and guest, and Tang Lingfeng also received the things Duan Zhengchun had promised.

Five dà huán dān, one marrow cleansing pill, and the Nine Yin Manual.

When he saw the contents of the Nine Yin Manual, Tang Lingfeng was completely shocked.

Only then did he understand why Duan Zhengchun had recommended he choose the Nine Yin Manual; it was indeed the most suitable Cultivation Technique.

Both men and women could Cultivate it, and the effects of what was recorded in the Cultivation Technique were far too Heaven-Defying.

Its power was also quite terrifying.

Now he realized that he had truly found a treasure.

It was a good thing he had agreed; if he hadn't, he would have truly missed the opportunity for the Tang Clan to rise again.
