Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Jojo's eyes widened, feeling Ryu's warmth even amidst the frigid air. She had never experienced such a thing before, but she was even more shocked by the strength in Ryu's body.

How could she know that Ryu's body was already at the standard of a False Sky God. Trying to resist it without using qi was never going to work. Now she just looked like a dazed maiden once again.

Ryu smiled broadly and looked toward the oncoming Sky Gods.

"The Raging Inferno Sect tried to marry my woman off to trash all because they felt she wasn't breaking into the Sky God Realm quickly enough. Then dregs I had long since defeated from the Azure Lightning Sect thought it was his place to seek justice for my woman.

"I, Ryu Tatsuya, can only say that I find these two Sects to be quite amusing.

"One doesn't have eyes and can't see talent when it's right in front of them. The other overestimates themselves, lusting after swan meat as toads in the bottom of a well."

Ryu's irises spiraled with eight trigram diagrams, his aura descending. His Dao didn't flourish, but rather it seemed to enhance Jojo's presence.

Even from such a distance, he could easily see the rage of the oncoming Sky Gods. But what good would their rage do them, exactly?

Little Silk flapped her wings once and appeared higher in the skies.

"I've said it once and I'll say it again. If your Sects have anyone in the same Realm that can defeat me, I'll hand them my head on a silver platter. But since the Raging Inferno Sect and the Azure Lightning Sect were too cowardly to accept this, I'll give you another chance.

"If you can find anyone in your Sect's one realm above me that can defeat me, I'll do just the same.

"Trash will remain trash, so why don't I give you all this small advantage?"

Ryu's laughter boomed throughout the skies as he disappeared into the distance on Little Silk's back. It could only be stated that the Azure Lighting and Raging Inferno Sects had been thoroughly humiliated on this day.

And this time, Ryu's challenge could no longer be so easily ignored.

...

Little Silk descended from the skies and toward the Radiant Star Sect; almost the instant it did, Jojo lashed out and punched Ryu with all her might.

Her fist drove into a palm Ryu used to block, and she fluttered backward, her expression not happy in the slightest.

The boom echoed across the Radiant Star Sect, and Ryu was rendered speechless by this woman. She was serious about fighting him?

"Hey..." Ryu paused. He wanted to call her a braindead bimbo, but it didn't seem appropriate considering...

His gaze landed on her small chest, and he chuckled to himself. The saying went that big-chested and blond women were brainless, but Jojo was neither big-chested nor blond, so what was her excuse?

Jojo's fury reached a towering height when she sensed Ryu's gaze, it was almost as though she had sensed for herself what he was thinking.

"I'm going to tear you apart!"

Ryu coughed. "I was going to say that you're trying to fight me, and you don't even have a sword, don't you find that a little silly, Miss Sword God?"

"I don't need a sword to kill you! The world is my sword!"

She grabbed at the air, and a violent qi really formed a huge great sword moments later. Her partially torn dress kicked up some wind, and she rushed forward, a raging aura coming from her.

Many had already sensed their approach due to Little Silk, but if they didn't before, they would definitely sense this sort of explosion now. Battling it out like this in the middle of the Sect was truly too much.

Even so, Ryu chuckled and put Little Silk away. He guessed that he might as well oblige.

Ryu's expression became serious as he sent a punch out.

His physique was met with an unstoppable force, and he was forced to glide backward to dissipate it, waving his fist around as though it had caught fire in that short stint.

This woman's temper wasn't just fiery, but she was also quite powerful.

She had spent much longer in the Peak of the World Sea Realm than Ryu, and her foundation was extraordinarily solid. Her temperament was perfect for that of a swordswoman, and her Dao should be somewhere in the Ancient Grade. It was only a bit difficult to pinpoint because her Sword God Aura also seemed to have an amplifying effect on it.

In addition, her Dao might be inferior to Ryu's, but her method of using her Sword God Aura was leagues beyond Ryu, not to mention the fact her other Pillars were exemplary as well.

The Raging Inferno Sect wouldn't have known that she could become a Sword God in the future, so when they picked her up as an orphan, it had to be purely because of her other talents.

Ryu wasn't sure what they were, but for a Sect of that level to pick her up and raise her as they did despite her not having any background to speak of, it had to be said that whatever skill she did have should have been astonishing.

"Is that all you got? You prim and proper, lady-faced whore."

Ryu was rendered speechless. It only made it worse that he heard the echo of Samson's laughter in the distance.

"Alright, woman." Ryu stood to his full height. "In my world, we punish children with spanks."

Jojo sneered. "If you can touch a hair on my head, I'll start using my true name again."

"Is that supposed to be an incentive or something? I already knew that only a dry as bone, meathead like you could possibly choose a name like Jojo. It surely wasn't your caregiver."

Jojo seemed to get enraged all over again, charging forward with menace.

The howls of swords echoed the Sect.
