My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

The old woman had truly infuriated Chu Feng.

He had already given her plenty of chances, yet she still dared to push her luck, courting death. In that case, she couldn’t blame him for being ruthless.

Just as Chu Feng raised the sword in his hand, about to bring it down with a single strike, Bai Xue cried out.

”Don’t, Master!” Bai Xue’s face was filled with worry.

She was terrified for her master’s safety. After all, she could tell her master was no match for Chu Feng.

It was obvious that Chu Feng had intentionally held back just now. Otherwise, her master would already be dead.

”Heh, you think I’m afraid of you? If you’ve got the guts, then kill me!” the old woman shouted defiantly, glaring at Chu Feng.

”Are you out of your mind? You actually want me to kill you?” Chu Feng was rendered speechless.

”Go on, kill me! Use the sword of that man, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, to kill me!” The old woman seemed to have become unhinged, her entire expression turning ferocious as she spoke.

This completely baffled Chu Feng. ’What is going on? Is she really trying to get herself killed?’

’Her mind isn’t right. This woman is definitely insane.’

And so, Chu Feng was at a loss for words. He had never encountered such a bizarre request before.

Someone actively seeking death... it actually made him hesitate.

”Heh, what’s wrong? No guts? You have the nerve to get married but not to kill me?” the old woman continued to shout arrogantly, her words mocking Chu Feng.

”Fine. If you’re so eager to die, then I’ll grant your wish!” Chu Feng was done talking. He swept his longsword out in a flash.

SWOOSH~

The flash of his blade zipped past the old woman’s neck, slicing off a strand of her white hair.

”NO!” Bai Xue screamed, trying to stop Chu Feng.

”Heh, who do you think you are? You think I’ll stop just because you say so?” Chu Feng shot her a cold glance.

”My master is the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor’s only daughter! She’s his only living blood relative! Are you really going to use the Heaven-Slaying Sword to kill his daughter?” Bai Xue screamed.

Her hysterical voice pierced the night sky.

Hearing this, Chu Feng was instantly stunned.

”What did you say? Th-that’s impossible.” Chu Feng looked utterly incredulous.

”Bai Xue, stop your nonsense! Go! He’s at the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm; he won’t attack a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator like you. Hurry up and leave!” The old woman’s expression changed instantly, and she snapped huffily at Bai Xue.

”Master, don’t try to hide it from me anymore! I know everything! In a corner of the Sect’s Scripture Pavilion, there’s a scroll that clearly records this matter. And the person who wrote that record was your mother—the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect back then!” Bai Xue cried out.

”The Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor died several hundred years ago. He had a daughter? And could his daughter even live this long?” Chu Feng asked.

”My master is two hundred and seventy years old this year, but she is actually three hundred years old! The Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor died not long after my master was born,” Bai Xue continued.

”So you’re saying the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor had a child in his old age? How is that possible? That’s complete nonsense!” Chu Feng refused to believe it.

”Whether you believe it or not, it’s the truth. Back then, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor and my master’s mother were together for a long time, but the Sect didn’t approve. Later, conflicts arose, and eventually, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor went into seclusion,” Bai Xue said.

In fact, when Bai Xue first learned of this, she had been utterly shocked.

For a time, she believed it to be false. It was only after she consulted numerous other records that she could confirm its authenticity.

Because of that affair, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor and the Celestial Sword Sect eventually became mortal enemies.

Many Cultivators of the Celestial Sword Sect harbored a bone-deep hatred for the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, so the fact that her master was his daughter was naturally kept a secret.

”So what? What does that have to do with me? I have absolutely nothing to do with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor. Besides, your master was the one who tried to kill me. Would I be wrong to kill her?” Chu Feng said angrily. In truth, he wanted to learn the Celestial Sword Technique.

However, it seemed like there was no chance of that. If he could learn the Celestial Sword Technique, it would be a huge help to him.

So, this was the main reason he hadn’t killed the old woman yet.

Trying to threaten her was clearly impossible; this old woman was no pushover.

If he tried to use force, the old woman would probably die before she ever gave in.

”Sir, I’m begging you, please let my master go,” Bai Xue pleaded, tears welling up in her eyes.

”Bai Xue, do not beg him! You are a member of the Celestial Sword Sect! How can you beg an enemy of the Celestial Sword Sect? Pathetic!” the old woman berated her.

After speaking, the woman turned her gaze to Su Qiye and then asked, ”Your Sword Technique... although it is the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, why does it release a scorching light? Is that True Qi?”

In truth, the old woman wasn’t weak; she was simply getting old.

Plus, Chu Feng’s sword was exceptionally powerful, leaving her completely overwhelmed.

”What? You want to know? I can tell you, but you’ll have to offer up the Celestial Sword Technique. Then I can teach you,” Chu Feng said with a smile.
