119: Duan Zhengming: Is this my spoiled brat brother?
Now he's even here talking big, saying he killed a veteran Great Grandmaster Master like Wang Lianhua.
Why don't you just fly to the heavens? If it weren't for those two balls of yours weighing you down, you'd have ascended already, wouldn't you?
"Will you die if you don't brag? Don't I know exactly what you're like?"
"Forget about being able to kill Wang Lianhua; if you can beat me, I'll take your word for it," the Emperor said irritably.
"No, Imperial Brother, you are the Emperor. How could I fight you?" Duan Zhengchun shook his head.
"Brother Chun, it's getting boring if you act like this."
"I rushed you back this time; you should know what's going on, right?" the Emperor asked.
"Yes, I know. I did indeed agree to this matter."
"However, this is what I promised Prince Ruyang. Moreover, I only agreed to help with matters in the Jianghu; I won't participate in anything else," Duan Zhengchun said.
"But even if that's what you promised, others won't see it that way."
"Once this contract is signed, it means that the Kingdom and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty have formed an Alliance," the Emperor said with a frown.
"Is Imperial Brother worried that the Mongol Yuan Dynasty will use this contract as an excuse later?" Duan Zhengchun asked with a smile.
"Yes, the Kingdom is a small country after all, and it still can't compare to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty."
"If our Kingdom hadn't been founded on martial arts, we would likely have been swallowed up by now," the Emperor said helplessly.
It was true that the Dali Duan Clan was founded on martial arts, but in their generation, their talent was poor. If not for the protection of Tianlong Temple, the Kingdom would never have been this peaceful.
"In the past, it would be normal for Imperial Brother to have such concerns."
"But now, with me here, none of these are problems," Duan Zhengchun said with a confident smile.
"With you here? What can you do?"
"Don't you know your own strength? No matter the time, if you want the right to speak, you must have strength."
"For your strength, has your One Yang Finger reached the Fifth Rank? How dare you talk so big?" the Emperor said irritably.
"Fifth Rank? No..." Duan Zhengchun paused and said.
He certainly hadn't reached the Fifth Rank; he had already reached Perfection.
"Not even at the Fifth Rank, so where do you get the confidence to say such things?" the Emperor said irritably.
"Although I haven't reached the Fifth Rank, I've already reached Perfection," Duan Zhengchun said, shrugging helplessly.
"Pah, Perfection? I think you've reached 'Perfection' in bragging. How dare you say such a thing?"
"The Perfection Realm of the One Yang Finger was only achieved by the Old Ancestor who originally created this Cultivation Technique."
"How old are you? How many years have you been Cultivating? You dare to talk so big?"
"Brother Chun, it was fine when you were a playboy before, but how have you learned to brag like this now?" the Emperor said with a bit of a headache.
He really had no way to deal with this brother of his.
Being a playboy was one thing, and revolving around women all day was another. But now he was actually starting to talk big and brag.
"Whether it's big talk or not, won't Imperial Brother know if he tries?" Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
Seeing his brother's smile, the expression on the Emperor's face became serious.
He could see that his brother wasn't joking.
This also made him a bit uncertain.
This matter was very serious. Although his brother was a playboy, he could still distinguish between what was important and what wasn't.
"Are you sure?" the Emperor said with a solemn expression.
"Imperial Brother, feel free to strike. With Imperial Brother's strength, you won't be able to hurt me," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, I'm going to strike," the Emperor said, taking a deep breath with a serious expression.
"Come on, definitely don't hold back. Otherwise, I'm afraid Imperial Brother will lose too embarrassingly when the time comes," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"You brat, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've started mocking your Imperial Brother?"
"I want to see if you really have the strength," the Emperor sneered.
Immediately, the Emperor pressed his two fingers together and pointed out with the One Yang Finger.
Facing the Emperor's One Yang Finger, a smile appeared on the corner of Duan Zhengchun's mouth.
If it were before, Duan Zhengchun would definitely not have been a match.
But now, in his eyes, the Emperor's Fourth Rank One Yang Finger was full of flaws.
With a slight flick of his finger, a streak of invisible Internal Energy shot out, directly intercepting the finger force shot by the Emperor.
This scene left the Emperor stunned.
Thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him and refusing to believe it, he pointed out with a finger again.
Duan Zhengchun didn't dodge. With the same movement, he flicked his finger, and a burst of finger force shot out, directly intercepting the Emperor's finger force.
"Eh, something's wrong, something is very wrong. When did you have a Breakthrough?"
"What Realm are you at now?" the Emperor looked at Duan Zhengchun in surprise.
"Well, just recently. However, I should actually thank you for this, Imperial Brother," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Thank me? What does this have to do with me?" the Emperor asked with a bewildered face.
"Of course it has to do with Imperial Brother. If Imperial Brother hadn't made me marry a wife to ward off bad luck, I wouldn't have had such a big change."
"I wouldn't have had this epiphany. It was after that day that I seemed to have an epiphany in the Martial Dao, and my cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds."
"That's how I have my current strength," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
The Emperor had a skeptical expression on his face, one that clearly said, "Guess if I believe you."
"Otherwise, how do you explain such a big change in me after I got married?" Duan Zhengchun said, spreading his hands.
"I..."
The Emperor was speechless for a moment; it seemed he really couldn't find any other explanation.
"Imperial Brother, don't dwell on these things."
"I said, since I dared to agree, I am confident that he won't be able to exceed the contract and restrict us."
"If he dares to do that, I can let him know what the consequences of doing so are," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Brother Chun, tell me honestly, what Realm are you at now?" the Emperor asked, taking a deep breath.
"Well... how should I put it! Imperial Brother just needs to remember that in the future, the Duan Family will have me."
"Imperial Brother doesn't need to be subservient to others anymore. I am the Duan Family's backer," Duan Zhengchun said directly.
The Emperor's eyes widened, and he looked at his brother with a face full of disbelief.
He felt as if he didn't recognize his brother anymore.
This was a completely different person from the playboy brother of the past.
Could it be that this was the confidence brought by the improvement in strength?
His brother in the past wouldn't have dared to talk so big. Now he actually dared to say he was the Duan Family's backer?
Who was the Duan Family's backer? That was the Duan Family Old Ancestor, Duan Siping, the Duan Clan Old Ancestor.
Now, his brother actually said he was comparable to the Old Ancestor?
How was this possible?
"Brother Chun, are you sure you're not joking?" the Emperor asked with a serious expression.
"Of course. How could I joke about such a thing?"
After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed with a sword finger. A streak of Sword Qi flew out, followed by a second, a third, and seven streaks of Sword Qi were shot out in succession.
Each streak of Sword Qi was shot from a different finger. It was precisely the Six Meridian Divine Sword: the thumb's Shao Shang Sword, the index finger's Shang Yang Sword, the middle finger's Zhong Chong Sword, the ring finger's Guan Chong Sword, the pinky's Shao Chong Sword, and the left pinky's Shao Ze Sword.
