A moment later, the aftershocks dissipated, and the dust settled. Ye Qingfeng remained standing still, calm and composed.

Gu Santong, however, was filled with shock, his eyes wide open. Upon closer inspection, he saw that his feet had sunk into the ground by more than a foot. Immediately after, his face stiffened, and he then “wah”ed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Then, Ye Qingfeng was heard saying, “Let’s stop here for today.”

Gu Santong said, “I lost.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Winning or losing doesn’t matter. The key is that you have internal injuries. There’s no point in continuing to fight.”

With his eyesight, it was naturally not difficult to see that Gu Santong was now at the end of his rope.

His entire body was like a flickering candle in the wind, capable of extinguishing at any moment.

In fact, in terms of actual age, Gu Santong was only around fifty years old, still considered middle-aged. But at present, his decrepit appearance made him look at least seventy or eighty years old, which showed how severely his vitality had been lost.

“Alas.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong’s fighting spirit immediately vanished. He sighed dejectedly and said, “If you had come a few years earlier and met a young master like you, I would naturally have been overjoyed and would have fought you to my heart’s content. Unfortunately, you’re right, I was struck by that old pig’s Pure Yang Finger, and the injury has recurred year after year. I don’t have much time left, and my end is near.”

“Why be so pessimistic?”

Ye Qingfeng said indifferently, “Your Pure Yang Finger injury might not be incurable.”

Gu Santong said, “If it was at the beginning of the injury, taking medicine and cultivating qi outside, I could indeed recover. However, I’ve been trapped here for twenty years, and my meridians have gradually hardened. Now I won’t live for more than three months. How can there still be a possibility of recovery?”

At this point, his candle-like eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, “Looking at your age, you’re only twenty-five or twenty-six, yet your martial arts have reached an unfathomable level. Even I am far outmatched by you. Your arrival at this Heavenly Prison today is truly timely. It seems that Heaven has eyes and is determined not to let the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art be cut off from my hands. With your cultivation, plus my internal energy, learning the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art won’t be difficult. Young man, kneel and acknowledge me as your master.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng first looked stunned, then burst out laughing, “Hahahaha, I appreciate your good intentions. I can learn the martial arts, and of course, I won’t owe you anything. As for your internal energy, you can keep it for yourself.”

“What? You don’t fancy my internal energy?”

Gu Santong said, “My internal energy, refined for decades, plus the internal energy absorbed from various masters over the years, is enough to make you the number one under heaven. Others would search with lanterns and still not find such a good thing, yet you actually refuse it just like that?”

Ye Qingfeng said indifferently, “If I want to be the number one under heaven, I can do it anytime, anywhere. Why would I need your internal energy?”

Gu Santong nodded and said, “That’s true. Through this exchange just now, I’ve discovered that even at my peak, I might not be your match. It’s indeed not difficult for you to become the number one under heaven.”

Ye Qingfeng then said, “So, you should keep your internal energy and do what you want to do.”

Upon hearing this again, Gu Santong couldn’t help but sigh, saying, “You say it so lightly. I don’t have long to live, and I’m trapped here, unable to go out. How can I do what I want to do?”

Ye Qingfeng retorted, “With your martial arts, is there anywhere in the world that can hold you?”

“Indeed, I am here voluntarily.” – Gu Santong said, “Back then, I had an(agreement) to fight that old pig. Before the battle, I made a promise that if I lost, I would be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and never be reincarnated. As a result, I lost to him by half a move and had to be trapped here.”

Upon hearing this, although Ye Qingfeng didn’t fully agree, he was impressed. The word “promise” was incredibly heavy. To be willing to be imprisoned for twenty years for a promise, the four characters “Iron Guts Divine Marquis” on that iron plaque were like a tightening hoop. Seeing the plaque was like seeing the person; with Gu Santong’s character, how could he possibly escape?

However, while admiration was one thing, some things still needed to be done. At that moment, Ye Qingfeng said, “Your keeping of promises is indeed admirable, but in my opinion, a person who disregards his wife and children cannot be considered a man.”

Hearing this, Gu Santong couldn’t help but frown, not knowing what he meant by that. He then snorted coldly and replied, “How can such a selfish and irresponsible person be considered a man?”

“Exactly.”

Ye Qingfeng smiled, “Since you admit you can’t be considered a man, there’s no need to keep your promise. Why not just leave?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong immediately became furious, “You… you’re toying with me?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “How did I toy with you?”

Gu Santong said, “I’ve never been married in my life. Where would I get a wife and children?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Although you haven’t married, you have a wife and child. You might want to think carefully.”

“Are you talking about Su Xin?”

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Santong’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, and he asked urgently, “Are you saying that Su Xin was pregnant with my child back then? I, Gu Santong, have a child in this world?”

“That’s right.” Ye Qingfeng nodded.

Upon confirmation, Gu Santong was first surprised, then ecstatic. After a long while, he suddenly stared at Ye Qingfeng and asked, ”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingfeng was first speechless, thinking, “If we’re talking about real age, I’m a few years older than you.” Then he shook his head and said, “I have no relation to you, but I know where your son is.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong quickly said, “Where is my child? Tell me quickly.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Don’t you think it’s too late to ask now?”

Gu Santong asked with a puzzled expression, “What do you mean by that?”

“Hahahaha…”

However, Ye Qingfeng did not answer him, but laughed to himself.

Gu Santong asked with a grim face, “What are you laughing at?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “I’m laughing at you for not only not being a man, but also a coward.”

“What did you say?”

Gu Santong’s expression instantly changed drastically, and his internal energy caused the surroundings to rustle.

Ye Qingfeng said, “You were willing to be imprisoned for twenty years just because you lost to Zhu Wushi once, not daring to openly confront him again. Are you perhaps afraid of losing to him again, so you’re willing to admit defeat? What is this if not cowardice?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong immediately said excitedly, “What do you know? Even if I defeated that old pig, what then? No matter how high my martial arts, I’m just a brute, while he is a talent for governing the country and ruling the world. On this point alone, I am inferior to him.”

“Haha, what a talent for governing the country and ruling the world.”

Ye Qingfeng laughed, “It is said that the Undefeated Brat Gu Santong is incredibly intelligent, but it seems he’s just a fool. Truly laughable.”

“You…”

Gu Santong instantly became furious and shouted, “Are you here to humiliate me today?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “My calling you a fool is not arrogance, but a fact.”

Gu Santong stared at him intently and asked, “If you dare to say I’m a fool, you must have a basis. Good, I’ll listen to what reasons you have. If you’re just spouting nonsense, I’ll fight you today even if it costs me my life.”
