Chapter 66

"So what if you have reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm? I have also reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm!"

A charming smile curved the corners of the Ninth Princess's lips. She activated the *Heavenly River Jade Scripture*, and the true qi within her body turned jade-white, even her skin was covered with a layer of jade-like luster.

The emerald water sword in her hand emitted a sword aura half a zhang high.

"Wow!"

The Ninth Princess swung her arm, drawing a circular sword arc above her head, emitting a jade-white glow. The sword aura spread in circles toward Lin Nishan.

"How is this possible?"

Lin Nishan never expected the Ninth Princess to break through to the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm.

Moreover, the Ninth Princess's true qi seemed even more powerful than before, thick and carrying a faint coldness.

Lin Nishan felt that her own true qi was weaker compared to the Ninth Princess's.

"Indeed, she has successfully cultivated the first level of the *Heavenly River Jade Scripture*. I didn't expect that Ninth Sister's constitution would be so suitable for cultivating the *Heavenly River Jade Scripture*." A smile appeared on Zhang Ruochen's lips.

It's not that the higher the grade of a cultivation technique, the better. The key is that the technique must be suitable for the practitioner's constitution.

Clearly, the Ninth Princess's constitution was very suitable for the *Heavenly River Jade Scripture*, which is why she could successfully cultivate the first level in a short time.

If Ah Le were to cultivate the *Heavenly River Jade Scripture*, his cultivation speed might not be as fast as the Ninth Princess's. It's not that his talent is lower than hers, but rather that his constitution is not suitable for the *Heavenly River Jade Scripture*.

Since the Ninth Princess has also reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm, the outcome of the battle is now uncertain.

Lin Nishan's sword skills are superior to the Ninth Princess's.

However, the grade of the cultivation technique the Ninth Princess practices is higher than Lin Nishan's, so her true qi is purer, and even when she uses a lower-grade sword technique, she can still unleash powerful force.

They are known as the "Two Beauties of the Capital," possessing unparalleled beauty. Every move of their sword techniques is graceful and elegant, like two fairies dancing with swords.

Their clash is extremely dangerous, with sword auras flying out, leaving deep gashes on the ground.

"So what if you have reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm? You still can't be my match."

"Heavenly Heart Guiding Path!"

Lin Nishan unleashed a low-grade spirit sword technique, swinging her arm to release a sword aura over eight meters long, trailing a long sword trail, slashing toward the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess had not cultivated a low-grade spirit sword technique, but she had mastered a high-grade human sword technique, the Ethereal Sword Technique.

"Ethereal Silence!"

The Ninth Princess gripped the sword hilt with both hands, slashing downward, clashing with Lin Nishan.

"Boom!"

The Ninth Princess's arm was cut by the sword aura, leaving a bloody wound on her wrist.

The power of a low-grade spirit sword technique is far beyond that of a human-grade sword technique. In the end, the Ninth Princess was still weaker than Lin Nishan.

Lin Nishan sneered, stepped forward again, and pursued the Ninth Princess with another "Heavenly Heart Guiding Path."

Seeing the Ninth Princess being forced to retreat by Lin Nishan, Zhang Ruochen immediately said, "Ninth Sister, don't clash with her head-on. Use a mobile strategy to wear down her true qi."

Hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, the Ninth Princess suddenly understood and immediately used a mid-grade human movement technique, turning into a blur and sidestepping to avoid Lin Nishan's sword.

Although a spirit-grade sword technique is powerful, it consumes a lot of true qi. Lin Nishan had just reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and her true qi was still thin. She could only use the spirit-grade sword technique for ten moves before her true qi would be depleted.

Lin Chenyu stood outside the training ground with his hands behind his back, smiling, "Since my cousin is giving advice to the Ninth Princess, can I also give advice to Nishan?"

Zhang Ruochen spread his hands and smiled, "Please do."

Lin Chenyu said, "Nishan, since the Ninth Princess is fleeing, take advantage of the situation and use the Lin Family's Pursuit Sword Technique to cut off her escape route."

Lin Nishan understood and immediately used the Pursuit Sword Technique, chasing after the Ninth Princess and putting her in a dangerous position.

The Ninth Princess's clothes were now torn in several places.

Zhang Ruochen stood at the other end of the training ground and said, "Ninth Sister, use the Emerald Water Sword Technique to attack her lower body."

The Ninth Princess immediately followed Zhang Ruochen's advice and used the Emerald Water Backflow, the sword tip passing over Lin Nishan's abdomen.

"Rip!"

Lin Nishan's robe was torn at the abdomen, revealing her snow-white, delicate skin, almost being seriously injured by the Ninth Princess.

Zhang Ruochen and Lin Chenyu's martial knowledge far exceeded that of the Ninth Princess and Lin Nishan, so their advice made the battle even more intense.

It was no longer a battle between the Ninth Princess and Lin Nishan, but a confrontation between Zhang Ruochen and Lin Chenyu.

"Lin Nishan, use the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique to strike her face."

"Ninth Sister, don't clash with her head-on. Immediately move three steps to the left and strike back."

...

Zhang Ruochen and Lin Chenyu continuously gave advice to the Ninth Princess and Lin Nishan. After half an hour, the two women still hadn't decided the winner, and their wounds were increasing.

Zhang Ruochen saw that the Ninth Princess had five wounds, each bleeding, and thought that if the battle continued, both she and Lin Nishan would be seriously injured.

A lose-lose situation?

Zhang Ruochen shook his head, took the iron sword from Ah Le, and held it, saying, "Ninth Sister, watch how I strike. Heavenly Heart Plum Breaking!"

Zhang Ruochen stood outside the training ground, stepping in a mysterious pattern, and thrust his sword, releasing seven sword auras from the sword tip.

The Ninth Princess followed Zhang Ruochen's move, immediately using the Heavenly Heart Plum Breaking, thrusting her sword at Lin Nishan's forehead.

The Heavenly Heart Plum Breaking is a move from the Heavenly Heart Sword Technique, which Lin Nishan had not yet learned.

Seeing the Ninth Princess use the Heavenly Heart Plum Breaking, Lin Nishan was momentarily flustered and immediately dodged to the right.

Zhang Ruochen, standing outside the training ground, seemed to have anticipated Lin Nishan's move to the right. He flicked his wrist, and his sword immediately swung downward, slashing to the right.

The Ninth Princess saw Zhang Ruochen change his move and followed suit, holding the emerald water sword and slashing to the right.

"Swish!"

Her sword stopped, neither too far nor too close, just pointing at Lin Nishan's neck.

Lin Nishan's face changed, wanting to counterattack.

"Don't move!"

The Ninth Princess added more force to her arm, the sword tip cutting into Lin Nishan's neck, a drop of blood rolling down.

If Lin Nishan dared to counterattack, the sword would pierce deeper.

At this moment, the Ninth Princess was delighted, pointing the sword at Lin Nishan's neck and lifting her chin with the sword tip, smiling, "Nishan, don't move! If I accidentally cut your beautiful face, it would be a disaster!"

Lin Nishan didn't dare to move, truly afraid that the Ninth Princess would cut her face.

With the Ninth Princess's status, even if she cut Lin Nishan's face during the competition, she would at most be scolded by the Yunwu County Prince and the Empress, but not really punished.

"It's only because Zhang Ruochen helped you that you won. Let's have a fair fight again," Lin Nishan said, clenching her teeth in anger.

"I've already won, why should I fight you again?" The Ninth Princess blinked her eyes, asking playfully.

Her sword always pointed at Lin Nishan's neck and cheek, as if ready to strike and disfigure her at any moment.

Before the competition, Lin Nishan never thought she would lose to the Ninth Princess. At this moment, she refused to admit that she was inferior to the Ninth Princess.

Lin Nishan was unwilling, saying, "As long as you agree to a fair fight again, we can make a bigger bet. If I lose to you again, I will be your servant and serve you for ten years."

"No interest!"

The Ninth Princess shook her head, saying, "I don't have the time to fight you again. You lost this battle, kneel down and apologize to me, or I will cut your face and make you an ugly monster."

Zhang Ruochen lightly shook his head, sighing inwardly that women's battles are truly terrifying.

However, he did not sympathize with Lin Nishan!

If the Ninth Princess had lost this battle, Lin Nishan would definitely use even more extreme methods to humiliate Zhang Ruochen.

Lin Nishan's eyes were filled with a dark anger, saying, "I agreed to apologize, but not to kneel and apologize."

"I won, so you must kneel and apologize. You decide! If you don't kneel, I will really cut your face," the Ninth Princess said.

Lin Nishan looked at Lin Chenyu, sending a pleading glance.

Lin Chenyu said, "Princess, mercy is better than punishment..."

"Shut up! What is your status? You are just a servant of my seventh brother, do you have the right to speak to me?" the Ninth Princess said.

Lin Chenyu's face darkened, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it, bowing respectfully to the Ninth Princess, saying, "This servant dares not. Nishan, kneel down and apologize to the Ninth Princess immediately."

Lin Nishan's eyes were filled with intense killing intent, her whole body trembling. For her, kneeling to the Ninth Princess was a great humiliation.

The Ninth Princess blinked her eyes, smiling, "I am not unreasonable. If you can pay one million silver coins as compensation, I will let you off this time and you won't have to kneel."

"One million silver coins, where can I get that?" Lin Nishan said.

The Ninth Princess glanced at Zhang Ruochen outside the training ground, the meaning clear: your brother owes you one million silver coins. If you don't demand that one million silver coins, I will let you off.

Lin Nishan naturally understood the Ninth Princess's meaning and looked at Zhang Ruochen.

As long as she paid one million silver coins, she wouldn't have to kneel.

However, one million silver coins is a huge sum of wealth for the entire Lin family. Lin Nishan was unwilling to pay it.

"Fine! I kneel!"

Lin Nishan made a significant decision and actually knelt before the Ninth Princess, saying, "Ninth Princess, Nishan apologizes. It was all Nishan's fault before, please forgive me."

The Ninth Princess was stunned!

The Ninth Princess didn't really mean to make things difficult for Lin Nishan; she just wanted to force her to return the one million silver coins.

But she didn't expect that Lin Nishan would be willing to endure such a great humiliation and kneel to apologize for one million silver coins.

If it were the Ninth Princess, she definitely couldn't do it.
