Chapter 303 Like an Arrow on the Bowstring
Yun Shimo wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. This time his injury was not serious, and it did not have much impact on him, but he saw through the old man’s strength too.
That old man was at the great completeness of Great Deity and was truly formidable!
Yun Shimo could not trap him with an array of runes, though he, too, was at the great completeness of Great Deity. The next process wouldn’t be that smooth for him.
After laughing, Xuanyuan Wutian flashed and disappeared before Yun Shimo.
Yun Shimo executed Mourning Steps and instantly disappeared in situ as well.
The Hare’s eyes widened. It could only see shadows that its eyes could barely catch flashing ahead but couldn’t tell which was Yun Shimo.
Then the mountain quaked, the dust rolled, and the earth cracked. The mountain, which was still intact just now, was bombed by the two, and holes appeared one by one.
“Supreme Overturning Force!”
“Primeval Divine Troops!”
“Heavy Ice Shield!”
“…”
The two had exchanged many blows, but the Hare still couldn’t see any sign of them. But it could sense that their auras were still strong.
Although Yun Shimo had just reached the great completeness of Great Deity, his aura was not much inferior to that of Xuanyuan Wutian. That was why after exchanging 50 blows, the two were still tied.
Xuanyuan Wutian, however, felt increasingly shocked. He had not expected that a man who had just reached the great completeness of Great Deity could exchange 50 blows with him. Now that he had not gained the upper hand, and it seemed that Yun Shimo was indeed a difficult character to deal with.
Hua Qiyue awoke just as the two were engaged in a fierce fight. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Tianci’s big, bright eyes.
“Mom, are you awake?”
“Tianci… Why am I here?” Hua Qiyue was confused and could hardly remember what had happened before she fell down in a faint.
“It was Brother Xuan who forbade you to leave. We’ll distract dad if we go there!”
Tianci looked at Hua Qiyue seriously. “Mom, dad has encountered a strong opponent, right? I can feel that person’s aura… Aye, the two auras meet. It looks like they’re fighting.” “Do you think we should go there? Will dad really win?”
Hua Qiyue gently pulled Tianci into her arms. “Tianci, Dad did meet an enemy. Mom is worried about him, but I’m not going to distract him. Your dad’s been through so much, and he’s gonna win. Evil can never prevail over good!”
Tianci seemed to have only half-understood.
Hua Qiyue patted him tenderly on the shoulder. “Tianci, stay here obediently with Brother Caining and Brother Caiqing. Mom will go back soon.”
Tianci blinked his big eyes. “Mom, are you really going?”
“Yes. Tianci, promise Mom not to go there, okay?”
“Okay!”
“Come on, let’s make a pinkie promise!” Hua Qiyue’s measured expression made Tianci hold out his hand cautiously. After making the pinkie promise, Hua Qiyue led Tianci to the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Xuanji, Caining, and Caiqing all in the yard. Xuanji’s face turned gloomy slightly when he saw Hua Qiyue.
“Caining, Caiqing, keep an eye out for Tianci and don’t let him go into the mountains. I’ll be right back,” Hua Qiyue instructed and handed Tianci over to Caining.
“Yes, Princess.”
Caining and Caiqing answered in one voice. Xuanji, however, frowned and said, “Qiyue, are you really going? The opponent is someone at the great completeness of Great Deity. Your presence will distract Brother Yun. Isn’t it bad for him?”
Hua Qiyue shook her head. She was glad that Xuanji considered Yun Shimo and her at this moment.
She knew Xuanji must be worried that if anything happened to her, Tianci would be left unattended. A child without parents was very poor.
This, of course, was the last thing Hua Qiyue wanted to see.
“It’s okay… Even if we can’t defeat the opponent, we can leave with an array of runes.” Hua Qiyue wasn’t worried about that. After all, they had a chance to escape once they were defeated.
Looking into Hua Qiyue’s determined eyes, Xuanji knew that if he continued to stop her, she would turn hostile to him, so he had to remain silent.
Caining and Caiqing led Tianci deeper into the courtyard, while Hua Qiyue and Xuanji went up the hill.
By the time they arrived, the mountain forest had been turned to dust by the battle between Yun Shimo and Xuanyuan Wutian. The trees were in pieces too.
Although Hua Qiyue could not see them, her heart was pounding. She could not see anyone because of the clouds of dust that were stirred up as they fought.
The Hare had sharp eyes and could see two shadows, flying and pausing now and then. Yun Shimo was slightly at a disadvantage, but he was not going to be defeated that fast.
Now Yun Shimo was like an arrow on the bowstring, and there was no possibility of his quitting. Xuanyuan Wutian had hurt Yun Family terribly and aroused an enormous amount of hatred. As long as Yun Shimo lived, he would never forget the eyes full of grievances of his grandparents and other uncles and aunts.
They continued to fight. After they had exchanged 100 blows, Yun Shimo’s imposing manner weakened a lot. After all, his aura was not very stable. Xuanyuan Wutian, however, was someone who had reached the great completeness of Great Deity for decades. It was a complete surprise that Yun Shimo could exchange 100 blows with him!
But Yun Shimo intended to awaken the purple energy in his body to make his const.i.tution and himself stronger. That way, he could fight Xuanyuan Wutian to the end!
“Haha, you son of a b.i.t.c.h, you’ll never beat me, haha…” Xuanyuan Wutian suddenly gave a wild laugh. His previous move was a complete sham. It was impossible for Yun Shimo to withdraw his hand.
So, Xuanyuan Wutian abruptly appeared behind him and struck him hard!
Yun Shimo was suddenly sent flying by his blow. The dust was whipped up by the gust. To Xuanyuan Wutian’s disappointment, Yun Shimo didn’t really fall. Instead, Yun Shimo jumped in midair and landed safely.
When Hua Qiyue saw this scene not far away, she was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out. She clenched her fists as she saw Yun Shimo wipe the blood from his mouth.
Xuanyuan Wutian was ten times stronger than Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan. As a result, it was much more difficult to kill him.
If things went on like this, Yun Shimo would lose.
He was a proud man. How could he let others interfere in his family affairs?
“Well, you son of a b.i.t.c.h, I didn’t expect you to escape serious injury. But all right, haha. I haven’t practiced my skills for a long time, and I’m going to polish up my skills with you being the polisher!” Xuanyuan Wutian wholly had the upper hand, so he was very triumphant.
Yun Shimo, nevertheless, summoned the purple energy rapidly. Instantly, his body was covered by a purple ray, and there was a powerful aura in his whole being.
Xuanyuan Wutian was startled, and his countenance turned grim visibly.
He had not expected Yun Shimo to have such a trump card!
It seemed that he had to kill this brat as soon as possible. Otherwise, the latter would bring out more and more trump cards. Xuanyuan Wutian was afraid that his physical power would be consumed utterly in the long-term battle.
Yun Shimo didn’t have the upper hand, but his heart didn’t race, and he didn’t feel exhausted. Although he suffered some internal injuries, he maintained a high level of strength.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect to be late, and I didn’t expect you guys to start fighting so fast. Tut tut tut, as expected, a tall tree attracts the wind!” A sarcastic voice sounded. In front of Yun Shimo, two other figures suddenly appeared!
Here came two superiors again!
Everyone’s nerves were on edge. If these two superiors were Yun Shimo’s enemies, the consequences would be predictable.
Hua Qiyue frowned. When she looked forward intently, she saw two people, one old and the other young. The old man was gray-haired, thin, and bloodthirsty.
Unexpectedly, the young one turned out to be a woman in black, tight clothing. The woman wore her hair in a simple bun with only a plum blossom hairpin inserted in it. The simple decoration enabled this woman to have a kind of refreshed and cold aura, however.
Nonetheless, Xuanyuan Wutian’s face changed slightly. “Murdering fiend Chu Qianzhao?”
When the crowd heard this, they knew something was amiss. It turned out that the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect came.
Hua Qiyue froze. She hadn’t expected that the Sect Leader of the Dark Sect was really a woman. The woman looked twenty-four or five years old, but the level of her Qi Art was at the great completeness of Holy G.o.d.
Chu Cangye saw Hua Qiyue at first glance. She smiled faintly with a look of defiance.
Chu Cangye looked at Yun Shimo then. The man in the black robe was indeed very handsome. She had seen countless handsome men. Except for this year, she had been wandering about leisurely like a flea.
On the whole Tianyuan Continent, Chu Cangye had traveled to thirty countries. She had enjoyed a lot of scenery and seen myriads of handsome men, but no one was more pleasing to the eye than Yun Shimo.
Chu Cangye thought that even Bai Qianxue—the silver-haired youth not far away, was not so good as Yun Shimo, though he looked like an immortal. There was a certain fatal temptation in Yun Shimo.
She could never forget him after taking a look at him.
“Yes, it’s me. We haven’t seen each other for so many years, but you’re getting younger and younger, haha.” Chu Qianzhao knew Xuanyuan Wutian. The relationship between the two was neither good nor bad. They never meddled in each other’s business.
“Well, what are you here for?” Xuanyuan Wutian looked at Chu Qianzhao warily.
Chu Qianzhao, however, began to observe Yun Shimo, completely ignoring Hua Qiyue and the others.
Yun Shimo looked at Chu Qianzhao calmly. This murdering fiend indeed had a terrifying bloodl.u.s.t about him. Otherwise, why would anyone else call him like that?
But Yun Shimo was not afraid of him at all. He turned his head, neither humble nor overbearing, and gently looked at Hua Qiyue not far away.
Hua Qiyue nodded to him, beckoning him to be cautious.
“You are Yun Shimo?”
There were traces of satisfaction in Chu Qianzhao’s eyes. He did not forget to ask the ident.i.ty of the other party.
“Yes, I am,” Yun Shimo answered calmly.
“Haha, I didn’t expect you to reach the great completeness of Great Deity at such a young age as the legend said. Although your strength is slightly inferior to mine, anyway, you are also a genius on the Tianyuan Continent! And you are a good disciple that I deserve!” Chu Qianzhao said, smiling.
Chu Cangye, too, appeared to be a bashful girl and smiled softly. “You are so clever, grandfather. You have taken the best young man in the world as your disciple!”
Hearing their conversation, Xuanyuan Wutian was struck dumb. “What did you say, old man? You want to take Yun Shimo as your disciple?”
Xuanyuan Wutian looked at Chu Qianzhao in shock. He was equally afraid of this venomous adversary.
Chu Qianzhao raised his eyebrows. “What? Do you have a problem with that?”
