In Du Tianen's view, when Du Yuemian turned her blade against him, his daughter had become possessed.
And the cause of all this was that mysterious young man.
Thinking this, Du Tianen harbored intense killing intent towards Ye Ming.
"With your current strength, can you block me?"
Du Tianen took another step forward, his power like a raging torrent and cascading waterfall pressing directly onto Du Yuemian. In an instant, her body began to crumble.
She had no power to resist.
The difference in their cultivation realms was simply too vast.
Du Tianen possessed the strength of the late Martial Sect, while Du Yuemian was only at the late Martial King stage.
Despite this, Du Yuemian still held her head high, her unyielding and resolute spirit preventing her from falling.
*Clang!*
*Crack!*
She forcefully plunged the dual sabers in her hands into the ground, pouring all the true qi within her body out. Gradually, Du Yuemian shakily supported herself, staring fixedly at Du Tianen.
However, her complexion was now as pale as paper. The blood at the corner of her mouth was particularly glaring at this moment.
"Why does Miss Yuemian still insist on holding on? She's no match for the Patriarch!"
"What on earth is going on?"
"Patriarch, perhaps you should stop! If this continues, Miss Yuemian's body will collapse."
"Exactly! This can't go on any longer!"
"..."
The Du family members standing by the side could no longer bear to watch.
But Du Tianen paid no attention to their words. Instead, he noticed the change in Du Yuemian's aura.
"Late Martial King?"
He was somewhat shocked.
But even so, he had no intention of stopping.
"Yuemian, get back!"
He extended his right palm, the violent true qi within his hand began to condense, and then he pushed forward.
At this moment, Du Yuemian felt an overwhelming force rushing towards her from the front. Her beautiful eyes widened, filled with bloodshot veins.
On her face, a look of ferocity and madness appeared.
"Ah...!"
She let out a roar, pouring all her true qi into her dual sabers. The Twin Moons now emanated a terrifying saber intent.
She was going to fight with all her might.
Raising the dual sabers, she crossed them in front of her body and slashed forward with all her strength.
"Moonfall into the Mortal World!"
A heaven-shattering saber radiance slashed out, accompanied by the momentum of tearing wind, striking towards Du Tianen.
Seeing the saber radiance that was now only inches away, a hint of astonishment flashed in Du Tianen's eyes. Under the onslaught of Du Yuemian's saber strike, he felt a sense of danger.
"Yuemian! What exactly happened to you?"
Du Tianen couldn't help but ask inwardly.
As he was about to be struck by the terrifying saber radiance, Du Tianen used his hand as a blade, drawing a sharp slash in the air. An obscure crimson saber light flashed, and Du Yuemian's all-out attack was effortlessly annihilated.
The gap between them was, after all, still too great.
And after Du Yuemian unleashed that saber strike, her body began to sway precariously.
*Clatter!*
The Twin Moons slipped from one of her hands and fell to the ground. But her body remained standing, supported by the other saber.
She looked at everyone, her eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"Yuemian, you need to wake up!"
Du Tianen walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what happened to you. But I know it must have something to do with that brat. So..." He said, his gaze turning cold, filled with killing intent, "I will make him pay a hundredfold for all the consequences."
With that, Du Tianen stepped past Du Yuemian and prepared to head towards his father's room.
"If you take another step forward, I will kill myself on the spot!"
But at this moment, a chilling voice suddenly came from behind Du Tiansi.
When he turned around, Du Yuemian had already placed the dual sabers in her hands across her neck, the blade only a hair's breadth away from her skin.
Given the sharpness of the Twin Moons, with just a slight push, Du Yuemian would perish.
Du Yuemian's actions stunned everyone present. They never imagined their young lady would become so desperate.
"Miss! Please don't do anything rash! Can't we discuss anything calmly?"
"Yes! Put the sabers down first!"
"Patriarch, please don't push Miss anymore! If anything happens to Miss, our Du family will truly be finished."
"That's right! Patriarch, come back quickly!"
"..."
At this moment, Du Tianen's face was extremely grim. Du Yuemian's desperate act had far exceeded his expectations.
"Yuemian, put the sabers down!"
Du Tianen tried to approach Du Yuemian, persuading her in a soft voice.
With his full speed, it was not impossible for him to snatch the sabers from Du Yuemian's hands.
However, he had completely underestimated his daughter's resolve.
As he was about to approach, blood began to flow from Du Yuemian's neck.
The blade had moved forward by half an inch, cutting through Du Yuemian's fair skin.
"Everyone, get out!"
Du Yuemian looked at the crowd, her words brooks no refusal.
"Alright! Alright! We're going, we're leaving now!"
"Yes! Miss, please don't do anything foolish!"
"Let's go! Everyone hurry out!"
"..."
After everyone left, only Du Yuemian and her father remained in the hall.
"Go out!"
Du Yuemian gave Du Tianen no opportunity to act.
"Yuemian, put the sabers down." Du Tianen finally compromised, "I promise you, I will not go in until that person comes out."
Du Yuemian looked at her father, saying nothing.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing his daughter's expression, Du Tianen laughed self-mockingly, "I truly never imagined that one day, my daughter and I would reach this point!"
How much of this laughter was self-deprecation, and how much was sorrow?
Perhaps only Du Tianen himself knew.
"Why are you unwilling to believe me?"
Du Yuemian put down the sabers in her hands and asked calmly.
She had given her father her trust.
Seeing this, Du Tianen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the question Du Yuemian asked, he merely shook his head and said freely, "In just a few days, you've made me feel like a stranger. Tell me, how am I supposed to believe you?"
"This isn't strangeness, Father!"
Du Yuemian did not agree with Du Tianen's words. "I've merely experienced some things, which have allowed me to understand this world a little more. Therefore, I haven't changed!"
After hearing Du Yuemian's words, Du Tianen re-examined his daughter.
"Perhaps, as you say, I have been too narrow-minded!"
With that, he walked out.
A moment later, Du Yuemian left the hall.
Seeing the two emerge, all the Du family members breathed a sigh of relief.
But before they could fully exhale, they had to tense up again.
For in the distance, several figures were walking directly towards them.
And the leader was an old man. Behind the old man was none other than the Du family's second elder – Du Tianshang.
