Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

The sky-sealing formation of ice and snow, the demon-binding formation of vines.

The two formations completely enveloped Jiang Li in an instant. The patriarchs of the four major families in the audience were stunned for a moment, and then someone began to curse the head of the Jiang family for being shameless. Didn't they just communicate that they would only use one magic treasure? Unexpectedly, the head of the Jiang family laughed and said, "Your Majesty didn't say that you could only use one. All is fair in war. You just believed what I said. Just now, everyone encouraged me to send someone to lead the charge. Now that you see that I'm going to win, you start to put the blame on me again?"

Are all people with the surname Jiang so despicable?

The head of the Jiang family in the audience was cursing at the heads of the three major families alone, and paid less attention to the stage. But as they were cursing, the heads of the three major families suddenly stopped talking.

The head of the Jiang family was also startled.

Because at this moment the light from the disk on the stage has completely disappeared.

The snow was falling. The head of the Jiang family rubbed his eyes and looked at the young man in white on the stage through the gaps in the snow. A thin layer of snow fell on his shoulders. At this moment, the Xuehua sword in his hand was flashing with a faint light, and the tip of the sword was just touching Jiang Ke's chest, but it did not move forward even a little bit.

Jiang Li smiled kindly, "Brother, do you have any more formation plates? If not, you have to go down."

Jiang Ke's face was filled with shock. He didn't even see how Jiang Li broke the formation. However, in less than an incense stick of time, he, who was at the first level of Spirit Transformation, easily walked out of the two top-notch formations. His two formation plates were also scrapped, which meant that the formation had been completely broken by Jiang Li.

Jiang Ke's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time. In the end, he could only hurriedly praise Jiang Li, and then walked off the stage in disgrace.

Jiang Li turned around and looked at the four major families below the stage with a kind smile.

"Seniors, please don't take it lightly next time."

Chapter 220: Chapter Prey

He stood there in the snow, looking gently at everyone in the audience, but no one made a sound for a long time.

The four clan leaders began to whisper.

"He is really at the first level of Spiritual Transformation?"

"The aura of cultivation cannot be faked, and the bone structure cannot be faked either. This is definitely the first level of the Spiritual Transformation."

"But have you ever seen a person at the first level of the Spiritualization Realm who could easily break three supreme formations?"

"Maybe he is a talented formation master, and he just happened to run into him by chance. So, who will be the next one?"

"You coming?"

"No, no, no, why don't you send someone up first?"

"Why are you being so polite? The Danxia Phoenix Fruit is such a precious treasure, so whoever gets it first will get it. No need to be polite, Old Xue, send someone up quickly."

Several elders from the four major families chattered for a long time, and finally a woman in black jumped out from the crowd. The woman was wearing a black dance dress and had a slender waist. Jiang Li looked at her carefully, and found that she was at the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

This must be the opponent that Zhu Taozhi mentioned that he needed to be most careful of, but Jiang Li still didn't look nervous at all. He just asked, "Miss, what magic treasure do you have?"

"I don't have any magic treasures." The woman in front of him said coldly, "But I have ten magic talismans, take them!"

The moment she said this, ten talismans flew out from her raised hand. Jiang Li could see the patterns and veins on the talisman papers almost instantly. They were all talisman papers of the top heavenly grade or the lower absolute grade. This girl was very ruthless when she attacked. Jiang Li had to dodge temporarily to avoid the attack, and then began to remove the talismans one by one.

Talisman paper is also a form of cultivation, and coincidentally, it is one of the things Jiang Xiaoli is good at.

This time, Jiang Li's speed of breaking the talisman was even faster than before. Each piece of talisman paper had just started to burn and take shape when Jiang Li pierced through the weakest part of it and dissipated it directly into the air. Jiang Li's sword was very fast, and each time the sword created ripples in the snow, the talisman paper fell to the ground like snowflakes. In just five breaths, all ten pieces of talisman paper dissipated, and Jiang Li stood still in the wind and snow without any hesitation.

"Girl, do you want to try using the sword again?" Jiang Li asked softly.

Jiang Li looked at the woman opposite him and took out his sword slowly. He said in a cold voice, "I didn't intend to win with the talisman. Even if I win, it's not a fair victory."

"So you think you can win with a sword?" Jiang Li said with a smile.

"I didn't want to, but the clan leader forced me to use this sword..." There seemed to be some reluctance on the woman's face, but when she injected spiritual energy into the sword in her hand, Jiang Li was still slightly stunned.

The Xue family’s most precious treasure, the Longkui Sword, is of the highest quality.

The sharpness of a supreme quality spiritual sword is roughly equivalent to that of a human. It only needs a little spiritual energy to be injected into it and it can easily cut through the spiritual shield of any cultivator in the Divine Transformation Stage. When the sword strikes a person, it is probably no different from cutting fruit.

Not to mention the Spirit Transformation Stage, even the Void Refinement Stage may not be able to withstand the blade of a top-grade spiritual sword.

The patriarchs of the three major families in the audience began to scold the head of the Xue family, who was stroking his beard, for being shameless, but the head of the Xue family still looked relaxed and at ease, as if he was not bothered.

"The sword is indeed a good one." Jiang Li couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "But unfortunately, the girl probably doesn't have much of a chance."

After saying this, his figure disappeared in an instant. Not even a snowflake fell on his afterimage. He drew his sword in the wind and snow, and the girl subconsciously raised her sword to block, but saw his figure shake, and disappeared in an instant. She didn't understand where Jiang Li got such a fast speed. She subconsciously drew her sword around her, but her head suddenly trembled violently. It was Jiang Li who used his soul as a sword and stabbed her fiercely. When she came to her senses, Jiang Li appeared behind her, with the sword tip across her snow-white neck. As long as she moved a little more, the sword tip would break her neck.

"You... are really at the first level of Spiritual Transformation?"

"Guaranteed genuine." Jiang Li answered innocently.

"I... give up."

Jiang Li put away the spirit sword in his hand, watched the woman jump down, then looked at the four major families below the stage with a smile, and then said, "Next one?"

..........................................

Zhu Junhuang in the stands suddenly became a little nervous.

Her hands unconsciously gripped the armrests of the chair as she watched Jiang Li easily defeat the genius of the third family with just one sword. Even though the opponent had activated a secret technique, eaten a spiritual fruit that temporarily improved his cultivation, used the best sword in the family, and raised his cultivation to the tenth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, in front of Jiang Li, it was still just a matter of one sword.

Zhu Junhuang looked at the young man standing in the snow and her body began to tremble unconsciously again.

She couldn't explain what was wrong with her, but when she saw Jiang Li standing there, her body became strange for no reason. At this moment, her mind reappeared what Jiang Li had just said. If he really wanted to use this bet to humiliate her, what should she do? How would he humiliate her? Or would he use some more torture instruments? Zhu Junhuang's mind inexplicably imagined many scenes, and her knees unconsciously came together again.

At this moment, Jiang Li's last opponent had already stepped onto the stands, but the opponent's cultivation was only at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Jiang Li watched him take out six flying swords and stab them at him with his Qi. Unfortunately, after Jiang Li had fought with those flying swords for two rounds, he mastered his secret method of controlling the flying swords. Those flying swords began to turn against him and flew towards their original owners. The opponent's eyes widened and he fled around as if he had seen a ghost. In the end, he could only hurriedly admit defeat and left the stage in disgrace.

At this point, Jiang Li won a great victory.

He glanced meaningfully at Zhu Junhuang in the stands, and his lips moved slightly. Although he didn't make a sound, Zhu Junhuang understood his lip language.

"Aunt Zhu, remember to keep your promise."

..........................................

The sword fight at the Ice and Snow Festival was over, but the celebration was still going on. Jiang Li sat back next to Zhu Taozhi, but this time, everyone at the banquet looked at him frequently. In this battle, Jiang Li convinced the patriarchs of the four major families. After the banquet started, the patriarchs of the four major families raised their glasses and toasted him from a distance.

Jiang Li accepted all the drinks. After drinking cup after cup of liquor, his body gradually warmed up. Zhu Taozhi also drank a little and snuggled in his arms. Her fair cheeks turned red. After finishing the round with the elders, there was the round with the peers. The geniuses who had been defeated by Jiang Li before also stood up and came to Jiang Li's table, toasting Jiang Li and Zhu Taozhi.

Zhu Taozhi's body almost completely collapsed on him, so Jiang Li blocked all of Zhu Taozhi's wine. After drinking countless bottles of liquor, his expression didn't change much, still gentle and calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

He has always been able to hold his liquor quite well. In the past few years when he was lonely and alone, he would always drink by himself, until the stars in the sky seemed to be falling, and then he would fall into a deep sleep.

The snow in front of him fell down. Jiang Li raised his wine glass and looked at Zhu Junhuang on the stage.

Zhu Junhuang glanced at him, raised her wine glass, looked at him from a distance, and then drank all the wine in the glass.

When the banquet was over, it was completely dark, but the fluorite in the palace was still lit. Jiang Li picked up the drunk Zhu Taozhi and followed Zhu Junhuang. Zhu Junhuang saw that he had drunk a lot of wine, so she took him to Zhu Taozhi's bedroom. Jiang Li put Zhu Taozhi on the bed. Zhu Taozhi had closed her eyes at this moment. After moving her body, she fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Li turned around, looked at Zhu Junhuang who was about to leave, and said, "Wait."

Zhu Junhuang had to stop, but the movement of turning around looked a bit flustered.

"Aunt Zhu, do you still remember what you and I agreed on during our previous sword fight?" Jiang Li stared straight at Zhu Junhuang in front of him.

Zhu Junhuang tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart and raised her head slightly, "Go ahead."

At this moment, all the strange scenes that she had imagined before appeared in her mind again. For some reason, she even recalled the various things that Jiang Li and Zhu Qiutang played in the room yesterday. When she thought of it, she felt a sore and bloated feeling in her lower abdomen, and her heart became more and more uneasy.

"Since I won the duel, Aunt Zhu will no longer interfere in the affairs between me, Qiutang and Taozhi, right?" Jiang Li asked softly.

Zhu Junhuang was slightly stunned, and her eyes suddenly became much clearer, "When did I ever promise you such a thing?"

This time it was Jiang Li who was stunned, "Aunt Zhu is going to go back on her word?"

"I clearly never gave you permission to marry my two daughters."

"Then what did Aunt Zhu promise me before?" Jiang Li's tone seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Yes... yes..." Zhu Junhuang couldn't say it for a moment.

"What is it? Aunt Zhu said it." Jiang Li began to urge Zhu Junhuang. At this moment, the status of the two seemed to have reversed. Zhu Junhuang stuttered for a long time and finally straightened her manners. "You said before... if you lose, then you will accept the beating and punishment. I promised you that if you win, then I will only let you be punished once."

Jiang Li looked at Zhu Junhuang with a strange expression, "Why should I punish Aunt Zhu?"

"That's your own business. Since you don't want it, then the agreement will naturally be invalidated." Zhu Junhuang breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but the next moment, endless loss surged in her heart.

"Aunt Zhu is clearly cheating!"

"I'm not cheating at all. You just misunderstood me." Zhu Junhuang's eyes turned contemptuous. She could see the anger in Jiang Li's tone, but she was still deliberately provoking him.

Jiang Li seemed to be so angry that he almost lost his mind. "Aunt Zhu clearly knew that I would not do anything to you, so she deliberately agreed to my promise, right?"

"If you don't dare to take action, that's your own business. What does it have to do with me?" Zhu Junhuang laughed contemptuously, while Jiang Li's anger seemed to be brewing. After a long while, he said, "Then I'll take action and show you!"

"What do you want?" Zhu Junhuang's body trembled slightly, but she looked at Jiang Li calmly and playfully, with mockery still in her eyes.

Jiang Li seemed to be overwhelmed by anger. "Turn around, hug the pillar, turn your back to me... and stick your head up."

"Oh, little guy still has a temper?" Zhu Junhuang was still smiling, but she still stepped forward with her slender legs, then came to the pillar of the room, turned slightly, bent her waist, gently hugged the pillar, and then slightly raised her snow-white buttocks. She turned her head back and her voice was like a provocation, "Auntie Zhu is obedient, but... do you dare?"

Jiang Li walked behind her and looked at her snow-white buttocks that were like a full moon. At this moment, it was covered by a rose-red hip skirt. Her thighs were stretched straight under the skirt, and Jiang Li took out a ruler from somewhere.

Before taking action, Jiang Li also said, "Stand on your tiptoes and keep steady."

Soon, a crisp and loud snapping sound was heard in Zhu Taozhi's room.

Before Zhu Junhuang could say anything, the sound of the ruler rang out again.

She no longer dared to look into Jiang Li's eyes, but leaned her head back, bit her lips slightly, and endured it silently. If she turned around at this moment, she might suddenly realize that the anger and complaints on Jiang Li's face had completely disappeared, and only the slightly playful smile on the corner of his mouth was left.

Who is the prey that took the bait?

Chapter 221: Chapter Loneliness

"You actually dare to hit me... well... it hurts." Zhu Junhuang's resentful voice sounded in Jiang Li's ears.

Jiang Li lowered his voice at this moment, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"what?"

"Aunt Zhu, you just want me to give you a good beating, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Then just treat me as talking nonsense. Stand on your tiptoes a little higher and don't put them down." Jiang Li's tone was a bit scolding. Zhu Junhuang subconsciously obeyed his words, while the ruler in Jiang Li's hand was still waving with a crackling sound.

Jiang Li counted to twenty in his heart. After twenty, he finally stopped. Zhu Junhuang's body was still shaking. Whenever she heard the sound of the ruler breaking the wind, she would tense her body and then relax because of the pain. But this time the sound stopped. She was about to turn her head to look at Jiang Li, but Jiang Li stuffed the cold ruler above her knees and said, "Keep your legs together and hold the ruler tightly. Don't let it fall."

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Junhuang's voice trembled.

Jiang Li rolled up his sleeves and said, "Do you think this is the end?"

He folded his sleeves back at his wrists and sneered.

....................................

When Zhu Junhuang returned to her bedroom, she was still in a daze.

Although the pain from Jiang Li's beating soon disappeared, Jiang Li's previous words kept echoing in her ears. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but the shameful posture of being forced to stand on tiptoe and clamp the ruler with her legs appeared in her mind again. She dropped the ruler once, and each time she dropped the ruler, she would be punished with five more strokes. She almost gritted her teeth to endure all the humiliation, and when she left, Jiang Li left her with a word.

"For the sake of Taozhi and Qiutang, let it go this time. I won't use the rest of my tricks on you. I hope Aunt Zhu... will respect herself."

Jiang Li's words were meaningful.

Zhu Junhuang couldn't cool down the burning sensation in her body. Jiang Li's words kept popping up in her mind. What other means were there? And what did the last two words "self-respect" mean? Why did he say "self-respect"? Could it be that he had already noticed everything? The more Zhu Junhuang thought about it, the more flustered she felt. After returning to her bedroom, she couldn't calm down no matter what. She tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she knelt on the bed and raised her buttocks slightly.

Why? Why did it become like this? Why... I have never felt this way before.

................................................

"You are such a beast."

"Hey, long time no see, why are you here again?" Jiang Li responded to the Dark Moon Immortal in his mind, who sneered, "I've been watching you, a bastard, doing this kind of beastly thing every day."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

Without morality, one will not be kidnapped by morality. Jiang Li has always been well aware of this during the quarrel.

Dark Moon Immortal Venerable was so angry that he could not speak again. Jiang Li sat beside Zhu Taozhi's bed, looking at her sleeping face. He was silent for a few seconds. He suddenly said to himself, "It seems a bit bad to do this."

"You actually reflect on yourself?"

"I have always been like this, relying on women to solve all the difficulties I encounter."

Jiang Li sighed helplessly, he was like this in his previous life, when he was broke, he would find ways to extort some money from wealthy ladies, when he encountered troubles in life, he would hook up with women who could help him solve the problems, most things could be solved by taking care of interpersonal relationships, just like Zhu Junhuang deliberately wanted to make things difficult for him this time, and forced him to choose between Zhu Taozhi and Zhu Junhuang, so he subconsciously wanted to take care of Zhu Junhuang.

In fact, since that sword fight, Zhu Junhuang had been falling into his trap step by step.

He deliberately wanted to mislead Zhu Junhuang into thinking too much, and then take the initiative to let Zhu Junhuang bring up the matter of being punished. He could act as if he was blinded by anger, with only beatings and punishments in his head instead of any desire for her. It could even be explained as being drunk. He was still the pure and innocent Jiang Xiaoli, and with such a contact, the seeds would be planted in Zhu Junhuang's heart, and she would fall deeper and deeper.
