These suggestions sounded reasonable, so the masked man thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Although Duan Tianyang is not a water-attributed martial artist, he can breathe freely in water.

Therefore, he planned to take the opportunity to dive into the water and swim away, while the masked man knew nothing about it.

As they were both men, Duan Tianyang didn't care at all and started to take off his clothes by the river.

However, the masked man seemed to have never seen such a scene before and looked a little uncomfortable.

When Duan Tianyang began to untie his belt, he lowered his eyes in embarrassment. If he had not been on a mission, he might have turned his head away to avoid watching.

Duan Tianyang dived into the water and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, the water is so cool, so comfortable." He turned to look at the masked man and asked jokingly: "Hey, ugly guy, how ugly are you? Why do you seem to be so inferior?"

The masked man seemed to have his pain points touched, his whole body tensed up, and he obviously didn't want to talk more about this topic.

Duan Tianyang seemed to have found fun and kept asking.

Although they seemed to be getting along well on the surface these past few days, Duan Tianyang's anger over this encounter was growing.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such injustice.

He chuckled and continued teasing, "You are really a weirdo. You are so ugly and don't like to talk, just like a country bumpkin. I really don't know how you are going to find a wife! Do you want to rely on martial arts to grab one? Or let Ling Ziyan introduce one to you?" His tone was light-hearted and harmless, but his words were full of sarcasm.

The masked man felt so ashamed by what he said. Although he still didn't respond, his slightly trembling body clearly showed that every word of Duan Tianyang was like a needle piercing his heart.

"How old are you this year? Forty or fifty?" Duan Tianyang asked curiously.

The masked man's voice sounded quite young. How could he be in his forties or fifties? Duan Tianyang was just trying to make fun of him.

However, the masked man answered seriously: "I am only 27 years old, not as old as you think."

Twenty-seven years old! He had reached the Earthly Fiend Realm at such a young age!

Duan Tianyang has always been proud of his cultivation speed, although it is due to the Emperor's Shocking Book and the Yuanhua Pill, plus the magical ring on his hand that can absorb true energy. The speed of improvement is far beyond that of martial artists at the same level.

But now it seems that he realizes that on the road of martial arts, true masters are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, emerging in endlessly.

"How long have you been in the Yi family?" Duan Tianyang changed the subject.

"I have lived there since I can remember. The owner created a quiet place for me where no one can disturb me..."

"Master?" Duan Tianyang frowned, feeling a little confused.

He knew that Ling Ziyan had been adopted as Yi Tian's goddaughter for less than a year, so the "master" mentioned by the masked man obviously could not be Ling Ziyan.

"It's Yi... City Lord Yi."

Duan Tianyang seemed to understand something and continued to tease, "Master Yi, are you worried that your appearance will scare others, so you specially found a hidden place for you to live?"

This sentence obviously angered the masked man. He stood up angrily, his voice revealing a cold chill: "Are you done washing?"

Duan Tianyang raised the corner of his mouth, waved his hand at him, and said with a smile: "Hey, ugly bastard, you are just a big idiot. It doesn't matter if you are good at martial arts. If you want to get involved in the underworld, you can't rely on martial arts alone. You have to use your brain, but it's a pity that you don't have it. Now, I'm leaving. Goodbye, big idiot."

After saying this, he jumped into the sparkling water.

He planned to get rid of the control of the masked man first. As for the blocked dantian, he would find a way to unlock it after returning to Xiguan City.

The masked man was startled and instinctively thought that Duan Tianyang had escaped, so he jumped into the river without hesitation and dived holding his breath.

Duan Tianyang was like a fish in water. Not only could he breathe freely, he was also extremely slippery.

The masked man grabbed his feet and Duan Tianyang immediately kicked him in the face.

Although the masked man could not breathe freely in the water like Duan Tianyang, his swimming ability was much better than Duan Tianyang expected.

What's more, his martial arts skills were far superior to Duan Tianyang's, so when the masked man grabbed Duan Tianyang's feet tightly, Duan Tianyang couldn't break free at all.

Duan Tianyang began to feel regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have escaped quickly when the other party wasn't paying attention instead of talking nonsense with him.

Now, he is like a silkworm tied up in his own trap, with nowhere to escape.

The masked man grabbed his feet tightly, pulled him to his side, then held his shoulders tightly and floated to the surface together.

The masked man shouted angrily: "You lied to me!"

Duan Tianyang replied with hateful words: "So what if I lied to you? Do I still need to coax you? Don't you see how ugly you look?"

The masked man hated it most when others mentioned his appearance, especially when he saw Duan Tianyang's extraordinarily handsome face, his ugliness became even more prominent.

Duan Tianyang's deception completely angered him, and he angrily retorted: "So what if I am ugly?"

At the same time, he secretly exerted force on the hand that was holding Duan Tianyang's shoulder, and the force was so great that Duan Tianyang broke out in cold sweat.

In desperation, Duan Tianyang jumped out of the water and kicked the masked man hard.

However, without the support of true energy, the speed of this kick became extremely slow.

The masked man easily blocked the kick. He grabbed Duan Tianyang's arms and said coldly: "If you really want me to break your legs, I will not show mercy."

Duan Tianyang's hands were restrained, so he could only use his head to violently hit the masked man's head, cursing as he hit his head: "I'm going to fight you, I'm going to hit you to death, you ugly guy, anyway, you are so ugly that no one loves you..."

The masked man cleverly tilted his head, causing Duan Tianyang's attack to miss.

At this time, Duan Tianyang realized that escape was hopeless, and his anger made him hit even more frantically.

The masked man seemed to be worried that a fierce collision with Duan Tianyang would cause the mask to fall off, so he always tried to avoid it. However, this avoidance made Duan Tianyang mistakenly think that he was showing weakness, so his attack became more fierce.

The enraged masked man finally took a headbutt from Duan Tianyang. Although his head collided with Duan Tianyang, his mask was intact, which made Duan Tianyang scream in pain.

The pain made Duan Tianyang even angrier. Not willing to be outdone, he punched the masked man in the face again.

The masked man wore a jade fox mask, revealing only a pair of bright eyes and mouth. He shouted angrily: "Duan Tianyang, don't go too far..."

"I'm too much? Fuck you, I'll drag you across the road like an animal, humiliate you, and then expose you to the scorching sun until you become African jerky. Let's see if you still think I'm too much!" Duan Tianyang roared angrily, and as he shouted, his head slammed forward.

"You dare to disobey the princess's orders? You deserve it!"

The two people butted their heads against each other, but the next moment, something unexpected happened...

Their faces collided violently, and their lips pressed together unconsciously...

As if it was a trick of fate, Duan Tianyang's eyes suddenly widened.

Then, a shrill scream burst out from the depths of his throat. The sound was like a sharp blade, cutting through the quiet air, filled with endless pain and desperate sorrow...
