Chen Jie subconsciously picked it up, but froze the next second.
Because after picking it up, the sheepskin scroll, which was originally indestructible, seemed to have lost all its toughness and shattered easily.
"Ah, Chen Jie, I feel like I've gotten stronger!" Lin Shuang clenched her fists in surprise.
She felt incredibly powerful at the moment, capable of smashing a boulder with a single punch.
"I understand now, our marriage certificate isn't just a marriage certificate! The cultivation technique my master taught me can only truly improve my strength by borrowing the power of women."
This time, Chen Jie's martial arts strength had improved by leaps and bounds.
It even showed signs of surpassing his immortal cultivation abilities.
He now felt that he could easily defeat Granny Ma without even using immortal techniques.
"Ah, so if you want to improve your strength in the future, you'll have to find your other fiancées..."
Thinking of this, Lin Shuang immediately became unhappy.
Chen Jie turned around and looked at Granny Ma, "Your disciple harmed innocent people. I killed her, merely eliminating a scourge for the public. I advise you to leave now."
"My disciple harmed innocent people? Hahaha... Even if my disciple killed everyone under the heavens, it wouldn't be for you, a nobody, to punish her!"
"Brat, you dare to act so brazenly with me! You don't have your golden aura protection now, I'll see what you can do! Die!"
Granny Ma waved her hand, and a silk scarf swept towards Chen Jie.
"Old hag, who do you think you are, let me teach you a lesson!"
With a swoosh, before Chen Jie could make a move, Lin Shuang had already leaped in front of him.
At the same time, she grabbed Granny Ma's white silk scarf.
With a forceful tug.
With a 'poof'.
The white silk scarf snapped in the middle.
"What?"
Granny Ma looked at Lin Shuang in shock, "You girl, just two days ago you were a nobody, and now you can contend with me?"
"I was just hiding my strength!"
Lin Shuang was secretly delighted, but her face showed disdain.
Even Chen Jie was extremely surprised.
Because Lin Shuang was now a formidable master.
With the move she just made, even a Xiantian master would be no match for her.
"Sharp-tongued, I'll see what you can say for yourself after you're dead!"
Granny Ma leaped up and charged at Lin Shuang.
"Old hag, today I'll show you how powerful I am!"
Lin Shuang was not to be outdone and met her head-on.
Bang bang bang...
Granny Ma's heart grew more alarmed with every blow. This young woman, who was clearly a novice before, was now fighting her on equal footing?
Were there cultivation techniques in this world that improved so rapidly?
Soon, Granny Ma let out a cold laugh.
What was the use of being able to fight?
She had skills!
She immediately unleashed her Hehuan Palm again.
Soon, Lin Shuang found herself in a state of unsatisfied desire once more, her gaze burning towards Chen Jie.
"Die!"
Seizing the moment, Granny Ma struck Lin Shuang's back with a palm while she was distracted.
"Stop!"
Chen Jie could not stand by and watch Lin Shuang be struck. He leaped up, unleashing a palm strike to meet Granny Ma's.
Boom!
The two palms collided, and Granny Ma's beautiful face twisted in pain as if it were about to break.
Chen Jie's palm strike seemed to possess immense power, making Granny Ma's bones feel as though they were about to shatter.
"You, how can you be so strong?" Granny Ma exclaimed in disbelief.
"I have to thank you for that. It was your Hehuan Palm that greatly increased my strength!" Chen Jie said calmly.
"I don't believe it, go die! Die for me! This time, I don't believe you still have your golden aura protection!"
Granny Ma unleashed another Hehuan Palm.
"Enough!"
Chen Jie frowned as he saw her about to use that move again.
He didn't want to lose control of his mind again.
He struck out with a palm before she could fully execute the technique.
"Ah! You actually used the Hehuan Palm on me too, you're seeking death!"
Granny Ma was furious, but in the next second, her expression became incredibly dazed.
"Man, I want a man..."
Granny Ma looked at Chen Jie with infatuation. Since Chen Jie was the only man present, she naturally gravitated towards him.
Chen Jie slapped Lin Shuang's body.
Lin Shuang snapped back to consciousness.
"Oh, Chen Jie, I was affected by the Hehuan Palm again!" Lin Shuang covered her face, blushing.
"It's alright, I've woken you up," Chen Jie said.
He had been affected by Granny Ma's move once, and wouldn't fall for it a second time.
His current strength was such that Granny Ma's Hehuan Palm had little effect on him.
"You..."
Lin Shuang glared at Chen Jie.
Why did he wake her up?
She was just enjoying herself.
Then she saw Granny Ma walking towards Chen Jie, muttering "man" repeatedly.
She chuckled and said, "What, are you planning to take advantage of her?"
"Take advantage of her? You missed a word. I'm going to take her life!"
Chen Jie's gaze sharpened, and he unleashed a palm strike.
With a boom.
Granny Ma was sent flying backward.
As she flew, she had already regained her senses and immediately remembered herself shouting for a man!
Granny Ma had always viewed men as her natural enemies, never deigning to do anything for a man, yet under Chen Jie's Hehuan Palm, she had uttered such desperate words.
This made her so embarrassed that she wanted to die.
She never imagined she would be so infatuated with a man one day.
What angered her even more was that Chen Jie, a man, instead of taking advantage of her, actually intended to kill her.
Unbearable.
Was her allure really that poor?
In those few seconds of flight, she thought of many things.
Finally, she realized that she might truly be finished.
Chen Jie's palm strike was destroying her life force.
"The young are truly formidable!"
Granny Ma murmured inwardly, then her body slammed into a boulder.
With a dull thud, Granny Ma's head bled, and she was undeniably dead.
"She's really dead?" Lin Shuang approached Granny Ma, checked her, and said with lingering fear.
"Really dead? Kid, you really killed this woman?" another voice called out.
Chen Jie exclaimed in surprise, "Zhou Yu, is that you?"
He was at least five kilometers away from the cave where Zhou Yu was, yet Zhou Yu could still sense what was happening here.
"Kid, didn't expect this, did you? Even though you ran so far, I can still hear your voices! Damn it, this Granny Ma is such a waste, she couldn't even kill all of you! Damnable!" Zhou Yu roared.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that? Didn't you want me to find the Qingcheng Sect for you? Do you want me to die?"
Chen Jie frowned.
"You little scoundrel, stop pretending. I've always known it was you who took my treasure! If you don't want to die, hand over my treasure to me!"
This statement shocked Chen Jie greatly.
But soon, he realized that since the other party's items were taken out, and they hadn't attacked him, Chen Jie calmed down.
