"It's my daughter, Lianyi. Let her pay a visit to Young Lord." Mu Liancheng said.
"No hurry."
Yang Dingtian said, "I won't tell her my identity for now. I am afraid that she will expose herself in front of others."
Mu Liancheng paused for a moment and nodded. "That's good too. Lianyi is still too young."
Following which, he asked outside, "Lianyi, what's wrong?"
"The three of them are waiting anxiously and are asking when the martial arts tournament will begin." Mu Lianyi said from outside.
"It will begin immediately. Ask them to go to the martial arts arena immediately. You guys go first. I will go now." Mu Liancheng said.
"Alright, Father." Mu Lianyi replied and left.
Mu Liancheng said, "Young Lord must be hungry. I will get someone to prepare some food and wine."
"There is no hurry to eat. Let's go to the martial arts arena to take a look." Yang Dingtian said.
*****
The Mu Clan Docks' martial arts arena was naturally incomparable to the Cloud Heaven City's. It was only about a thousand square meters and was paved with bricks.
Here, Yang Dingtian saw Mu Lianyi, this great beauty that spanned a few hundred miles.
She was indeed beautiful, but she was different from Dongfang Bingling and Ximen Yanyan.
She was filled with a wild beauty, a healthy beauty, and a vibrant beauty.
Her skin wasn't snow-white but a healthy wheat color.
She had a pair of big eyes, a high nose bridge, and an exquisite and delicate mouth.
This was a beautiful and wild face that didn't lack in magnanimity.
Perhaps it was because she often went into the sea to collect pearls, but her delicate body was filled with strength. Her entire body was like a water snake.
Her small waist might be thin, but it gave off a feeling of strength. Her pair of slender legs were the most beautiful that Yang Dingtian had ever seen.
On the martial arts arena, there were dozens of Mu Clan Docks servants, armed guards, and three of Mu Liancheng's adopted sons.
This group of people were all looking at Mu Lianyi with admiration. Only the three young men who came to participate in the martial arts tournament were looking at Mu Lianyi with fervent and infatuation.
Mu Lianyi's dressing was completely different from that of ordinary ladies. In order to make it easier for her to go into the water, she mostly wore tight-fitting leather clothes made of snakeskin. However, exquisite armor was inlaid on her shoulders, chest, and crotch.
Although this kind of clothing was very convenient to move around, it also revealed her figure without a doubt.
Mu Lianyi glanced at the crowd and saw Yang Dingtian, the newcomer. She paused for a moment and then immediately looked away. "Heroes, I have said it many times. If you want to marry me, you may suffer the revenge of the Raging Flames Pavilion. The Mu Family Dock is small and cannot resist. At that time, you may be implicated and even lose your lives. So, it is not too late to back out now."
Mu Lianyi's voice was very pleasant. It was clear, loud, and decisive, like the sound of pearls falling on a silver plate.
Moreover, her gaze naturally carried a special kind of burning electricity.
Being electrified by her gaze, the three young men immediately felt their blood boil. They patted their chests and said, "For Miss, what do we have to fear?"
"Yes, for Miss to not fall into the hands of evil, even if we lose our heads, it is worth it."
After hearing this, Mu Lianyi said, "Mu Lianyi writes here to thank you for your love. However, if you want to marry me, you must first defeat me. I am a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior. If you can't even defeat me, then you are naturally not a match for that bastard from the Raging Flames Pavilion.
This hot beauty Mu Lianyi was actually a six-star Mystic Martial Warrior. She was three levels higher than Yang Dingtian.
However, if they fought, Yang Dingtian was confident that he could defeat her.
In the end, Mu Lianyi suddenly pulled out the scimitar at her waist and said, "Who wants to fight first?"
"I will!"
A thunderous roar was heard. Then, a 1.9-meter-tall strong man with a long scimitar walked onto the stage.
He was really as strong as a rhinoceros. His muscles were as hard as steel. The scimitar in his hand weighed at least three to four hundred pounds, but it was effortless for him to carry it.
Mu Lianyi was not much taller than him, but in front of his bull-like body, she appeared petite and slender. It was as if he could break Mu Lianyi's delicate body with one punch.
"My name is Niu Dali. I come from the Sky Dragon Mountain 800 miles away. I am the young master of the Sky Dragon Village. One day, I went down the mountain to rob and saw Miss carrying pearls. I was shocked by Miss's beauty and forgot to rob her. I only woke up after Miss left. After that, I gave an order to all the heroes within a few hundred miles. If anyone dares to rob the Mu Clan's carriage again, I, Niu Dali, will kill their entire family."
Niu Dali patted his chest and said, "Miss, I know I am not good enough for you, but I couldn't help but come down the mountain when I heard about your martial arts competition. I don't even dare to look at you, let alone think about marrying you. However, if anyone dares to bully you, I will fight them to the death."
Once he said this, everyone burst into laughter. They looked at this strong man with good feelings. Yang Dingtian also couldn't help but laugh. This Niu Dali was indeed a cute and straightforward person.
After hearing this, Mu Lianyi bowed and said, "Thank you, Big Brother Niu."
"Don't, don't, don't look at me like that. I can't take it."
Niu Dali suddenly became very embarrassed. His face instantly turned red. He held his scimitar tightly and said, "Miss, let's start fighting. Otherwise, I will forget all the moves in my head."
"Okay, Big Brother Niu, please guide me." Mu Lianyi swung her scimitar and pointed it at Niu Dali.
"Huff …" Niu Dali's expression changed. His embarrassed face suddenly became very mighty. The scimitar in his hand suddenly slashed in the air. It was like thunder, and his muscles were also making popping sounds.
"Here I come." Niu Dali waved his scimitar and rushed toward Mu Lianyi.
Yang Dingtian's expression changed slightly. This Niu Dali looked rough, but his strength was not weak. He was born with great strength. Although his Xuan Qi level was not high, it was very domineering. He was completely an unpolished gem. After being polished, he could become an expert.
"Boom …" In the blink of an eye, Niu Dali suddenly slashed his scimitar at Mu Lianyi.
Mu Lianyi's scimitar met the attack. Suddenly, sparks burst out. With a loud bang, Mu Lianyi's delicate body trembled. The bricks under their feet were shattered.
Then, Niu Dali's scimitar turned and swept toward Mu Lianyi's waist.
His moves had many flaws, but he was born with great strength and his moves were extremely domineering. The surrounding few meters were actually impregnable. No one dared to enter.
This Niu Dali was really a natural martial arts fanatic. The scimitar technique was full of flaws, but he was actually using it with great power and killing intent.
All of a sudden, Mu Lianyi took advantage of her nimble body to move around.
After a dozen or so moves, Mu Lianyi immediately saw the flaws in Niu Dali's scimitar technique.
Suddenly, her delicate body was like a sea snake. She suddenly drilled into Niu Dali's crazy scimitar.
Everyone exclaimed. They were worried that Mu Lianyi would be shredded into pieces if they saw the next scene.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lianyi's delicate body turned left and right with great accuracy. She did not touch the dangerous scimitar at all and directly approached Niu Dali.
"Bang!" After getting close, Mu Lianyi hit Niu Dali's chest with the back of her scimitar.
"Ah …" Niu Dali screamed. He took a dozen steps back and sat on the ground.
"I, I lost?
So fast? "
Niu Dali sat on the ground in shock for a while. Then, he scratched his head and jumped off the arena. "I lost, but I won't leave. I'll wait for that bastard who bullied you to come."
"Thank you, Brother Niu," Mu Lianyi said. "Brother Niu is clever but clumsy. If you have a master to guide you, you'll definitely make rapid progress.
If I can be safe this time, I'll take Brother Niu to an elder's place so that you won't be buried in the sand. "
"Okay, okay. My martial arts were all blindly trained by my father. He's more muddle-headed than clear-headed," Niu Dali said.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian could not help but look at Mu Lianyi again. Her cultivation was far beyond his imagination.
This was because she did not use Xuan Qi during the fight with Niu Dali. She only used her moves because she did not want to take advantage of Niu Dali. If she used Xuan Qi, Niu Dali would not be able to take a single move.
However, not everyone knew this. Seeing that Mu Lianyi defeated Niu Dali in ten moves, a young man in white in the arena was overjoyed. He was immediately filled with confidence and jumped onto the arena.
"I'm Cui Yiping. I come from the Yellow Sea Sword Sect three thousand miles away. I traveled here and did not expect to find such a beautiful lady in such a remote place.
However, I'm from a famous sword sect and will not be misled by beauty. Therefore, I'm not here for beauty. I'm here to help when I see injustice. "
Although Cui Yiping said this, his eyes could not help but stare at Mu Lianyi's charming face and hot body.
"Please enlighten me."
Mu Lianyi's attitude towards Cui Yiping was not so good. She nodded and straightened her scimitar.
Cui Yiping was annoyed. Seeing that Mu Lianyi's attitude towards him was not as good as Niu Dali's, he sneered, "Miss, my martial arts is not a knockoff."
With that, Cui Yiping took out his longsword and formed a sword art. With a twist of his wrist, a sword flower appeared. It was indeed very beautiful.
"I'm a one-star Mystic Martial Warrior. Be careful, Miss."
Cui Yiping shouted. The sword in his hand emitted a sword light. He became one with the sword and stabbed towards Mu Lianyi's chest like a meteor.
"Boom …" Mu Lianyi's scimitar ignited with a ball of fire. She aimed at the attacker and slashed.
"Bang …" Cui Yiping's sword and body flew dozens of meters away and fell to the ground.
Cui Yiping's sword moves were elegant and powerful.
However, Mu Lianyi defeated him with only one move.
Everyone was stunned. Then, they burst into laughter.
Cui Yiping climbed up from the ground in a sorry state. His face was full of resentment, "Country barbarian girl, you don't know what's good for you. You're opportunistic and full of brute strength. I'll wash away today's humiliation.
“
With that, Cui Yiping turned around and left.
Everyone burst into laughter again. However, Yang Dingtian did not laugh.
Cui Yiping was a genuine one-star Mystic Martial Warrior. He did not expect Mu Lianyi to defeat him with one move. It seemed that her strength was far beyond his imagination.
Niu Dali and Cui Yiping had both been defeated. Now, only Yang Dingtian and another black-clothed man were left. Everyone looked at them.
The black-clothed man also looked at Yang Dingtian with a questioning gaze. Yang Dingtian shook his head, indicating that he would not fight.
That black-clothed man suddenly jumped onto the stage.
"Nameless Jia Ming pays his respects to Young Lady." The black-clothed man had an ordinary appearance. Only his eyes were deep and bright.
"Greetings to Mister." Mu Lianyi bowed.
Immediately after, the black-clothed Jia Ming slowly drew his weapon. It was a black iron ruler. Even from a distance, Yang Dingtian could feel the special energy on the iron ruler. This was an expert.
It was obvious that Mu Lianyi and Mu Liancheng felt it too. Their expressions turned grave.
"Huff …" Jia Ming pointed his iron ruler. His entire body was like a zombie as he attacked Mu Lianyi with lightning speed.
Mu Lianyi was shocked. She parried with her curved saber and her delicate body suddenly bounced up.
"Bang …" There was a muffled collision sound.
There were no flames. Instead, Mu Lianyi's water-like saber blade was instantly contaminated and turned black. At the same time, Mu Lianyi's face suddenly turned pale. It was obvious that she was injured from this collision.
This person's moves were strange, and so was his weapon.
Mu Lianyi's delicate body quickly retreated. She used her nimble movement skills to try and evade the opponent. Instantly, she shuttled back and forth on the stage like a shadow.
Mu Lianyi was fast, but this Jia Ming was even faster. He was like a black ghost that arrived in an instant. He was like a ghost that constantly stuck close to Mu Lianyi.
"Bang …" Mu Lianyi's chest was struck.
"Bang …" Immediately after, she was struck below her waist.
"Bang …" Then, she was struck on the side of her leg.
Instantly, everyone present was infuriated. This Jia Ming's moves were simply despicable.
"Shameless …" Mu Lianyi was extremely embarrassed and angry. She no longer dodged and brandished her curved saber. Her body suddenly burst out with intense mystic qi as she charged towards Jia Ming.
In an instant, Mu Lianyi was in front of Jia Ming. Her curved saber suddenly slashed towards his shoulder.
"Huff …" Suddenly, Jia Ming's figure disappeared in front of her eyes.
"Bang!"
Immediately after, Mu Lianyi felt a pain on her back. Jia Ming's figure had flashed behind her and slapped her perky butt with his iron ruler.
This person's moves were strange and were as fast as a ghost. It was impossible to defend against. Furthermore, every move was despicable and unsightly. Everyone present was instantly infuriated.
Furthermore, Mu Lianyi was a Six-Star Mystic Martial Warrior, but she wasn't a match for him.
"I will fight it out with you …" Under the embarrassment and anger, Mu Lianyi straightened her delicate body and suddenly leaned back. Her curved saber was like a snake as it slashed towards Jia Ming's waist.
"Bang!" Jia Ming's iron ruler suddenly slammed down towards Mu Lianyi's chest.
Yang Dingtian's expression changed as he spoke to Mu Liancheng, "Uncle Mu, this person's background is unknown. He seems to be from the evil dao."
Mu Liancheng's body was trembling. He held onto a concealed weapon and was ready to shoot it out at any moment.
But this was a martial arts competition, and he couldn't break the rules.
Seeing the black iron ruler slamming towards her chest, Mu Lianyi quickly reversed her curved saber and used it to block Jia Ming's iron ruler.
"Bang …" The two weapons fiercely clashed. Suddenly, a strange and soft force drilled into Mu Lianyi's arm. She felt that wherever this force went, her own power was like mud sinking into the ocean. She was swallowed alive. Her delicate body went limp and directly fell to the ground.
Jia Ming sneered and suddenly went forward. He thrust his iron ruler at Mu Lianyi's chest and was about to tear open her leather armor.
Mu Lianyi was shocked as her delicate body rolled.
"Sss …" The iron ruler tore open the snakeskin on Mu Lianyi's chest, revealing the skin inside.
"Shameless! I will kill you!"
Mu Lianyi was infuriated as she pressed down on the leather armor on her chest and quickly dodged. However, her lower abdomen was exposed.
"All is fair in war. You have fallen into my trap." Jia Ming yelled out as the iron ruler in his hand suddenly extended a few feet and struck at Mu Lianyi's lower abdomen where her qi vessel was.
"Ah …" Mu Lianyi screamed as her delicate body flew over ten meters away. She spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered, almost falling off the arena.
"Young Miss, it seems that I have won." Jia Ming smiled proudly.
"It's too early to say that." Mu Lianyi sneered.
"Sea Snake Transformation …" She suddenly yelled out as her beautiful eyes shot out a blue and enchanting light.
In an instant, her delicate body turned into a snake and shot towards Jia Ming like lightning.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh …" Mu Lianyi's delicate body moved like lightning in the air like a snake. The curved saber in her hand turned into countless saber lights and slashed towards Jia Ming.
It was incomparably fast, incomparably strange, incomparably fast, and incomparably fierce.
Yang Dingtian was shocked. After Mu Lianyi used the Sea Snake Transformation, her lethality had increased by several times. Whether it was her speed or strength, they had all become much stronger.
This Sea Snake Transformation was Mu Lianyi's trump card. She would only use it at the most crucial moment.
"Ichthyosaur Transformation …" Jia Ming, who was in the middle of the arena, roared out. There was a roar in the sky as a giant black shadow rushed out and devoured Mu Lianyi's sea snake.
In an instant, the two gray shadows were engaged in a fierce battle.
In just a few seconds, the victor was decided.
"Pfff …" Mu Lianyi's delicate body flew over ten meters as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lianyi …" Mu Liancheng was shocked as he rushed into the air and hugged his daughter.
When Niu Dali saw that Mu Lianyi was injured, he was instantly enraged. He brandished his large saber and rushed towards Jia Ming. He roared, "You dare to injure Young Miss Mu? I will dismember you into pieces."
Niu Dali's saber was brandishing crazily as he pushed all his strength to the limits. With a thunderous roar, he attacked Jia Ming.
Jia Ming sneered as he extended the iron ruler in his hand and lightly tapped on Niu Dali's large saber.
In an instant, Niu Dali's mountain-like body flew out violently as blood spurted out from his seven orifices. That large saber was broken inch by inch.
"Bang!"
There was a loud sound as Niu Dali's body smashed a giant pit on the ground. He was drenched in blood and unconscious.
Niu Dali couldn't even withstand half a move from Jia Ming. Everyone had a drastic change in expression. This Jia Ming was actually this formidable.
"Tsk, tsk. All of you can't even withstand a single blow. Such soft-footed shrimps still have the face to participate in the marriage martial contest?"
Jia Ming sneered and said, "I am definitely taking Young Miss Mu. My wife, I have already shown mercy. Otherwise, you would have been naked in front of everyone. I purposely didn't injure you too severely so that the bridal chamber would lose its flavor. Haha …"
Once he said this, everyone was instantly enraged.
Mu Liancheng's foster sons all drew their weapons and were prepared to go up for battle.
Mu Liancheng quickly channeled his mystic qi to recuperate his daughter's injuries and didn't have the time to speak. When he saw his foster sons preparing to go up, he immediately shouted, "You are not allowed to go!"
Seeing that no one went up to accept the challenge, Jia Ming laughed heartily and said, "You are indeed a bunch of trash. Then I shall pay my respects to Father-in-law.
Hurry up and get married. I am already salivating for the bridal chamber … "
Jia Ming's words were getting increasingly shameless. He looked at Mu Lianyi, who was recuperating, and stared at her body. His expression was getting increasingly evil.
"Sir, if I didn't guess wrongly, you shouldn't be called Jia Ming, right?" Yang Dingtian suddenly spoke with a cold voice.
"Of course. Even a fool can tell." Jia Ming sneered.
"You are from the Raging Flames Pavilion?" Yang Dingtian asked coldly.
"That's right. I am the Raging Flames Castle's Young Lord, Tuoba Ye. Why did you bunch of fools only realize it now?"
The black-clothed man sneered and said, "Old Man Mu, don't think that this marriage martial contest will prevent your daughter from marrying me. You will still not be able to escape from my palm. Hand over your daughter and the pearl obediently. Otherwise, your Mu Clan Docks will be exterminated …"
Following which, Jia Ming brandished the black iron ruler in his hand and roared with arrogance, "I will ask one last time. Who else wants to compete with me for the beauty and the pearl?
If not, the beauty and the pearl will be mine.
Hahahahaha … "
Letting out a soft sigh, Yang Dingtian grabbed the saddle and slammed it on the ground before leaping onto the martial contest stage.
