Chapter 708: Yichen’s Breakthrough!
“Alright, since you said so, don’t blame me.” Murderous intent filled Ye Qingyun’s heart. The Clear Wind Sect had not been able to locate the whereabouts of Jiang Wuhen anyway, so even if he died in Nan Xia Country, who would know? He could maybe kill these two, and give people the impression that they died together. When the time came, if someone really investigated it, they would not be able to connect it to him. If anyone took the fall, it would be Nan Xia Country.
Thinking about it, Ye Qingyun no longer had any reservations, and slashed his sword at Jiang Wuhen.
His sword buzzed and the sword tip vibrated rapidly, drawing out a dazzling galaxy.
Jiang Wuhen’s thigh was injured and it was already too late for him to avoid the attack, so he could only face it head on. He knew that if he was not fast enough to use the Clear Wind Sword Play with his own Battle Qi, he had no way to put up a fight against the surging True Qi, and it could be the end of him.
At that critical moment, a figure suddenly stood before him, and swung their sword at Ye Qingyun.
There was a clear ringing, and the river of stars disappeared like clouds sucked up by a tornado. Within the massive qi flow, even Ye Qingyun could not help but take a few steps backward.
“Your opponent is me!” Ling Yichen stood in front of Jiang Wuhen, his gaze icy.
The wound in his chest that had been bandaged still had traces of blood, but he stood proud like a majestic mountain that refused to go down.
His gaze remained calm and fearless, but his determined, heroic aura was unrestrained. This was the true Vast Sea Wide Sky. It was not just determination and not fearing death, but it was the courage and open-mindedness of seeing past life and death.
In that instant, the abundant spiritual qi of heaven and earth flowed into his body. Battle Qi and spiritual qi collided and integrated, creating a terrifying qi explosion within his body, and every single meridian in his body burned with an intense pain.
However, there was no suffering displayed on his face whatsoever. Cold and calm as always, his gaze seemed to become more clear and sharp, like a lightning bolt. Since he had already seen past life and death, how could he be bothered by such pain?
“Breakthrough! He’s actually breaking through at such a time!” Ye Qingyun looked at Ling Yichen dazedly. He never would have thought that he would actually breakthrough at such a critical moment. ‘I cannot let him breakthrough so easily! It will surely bring me endless troubles.’
Thinking about this, Ye Qingyun no longer had doubts, and once again swung his sword swiftly. Ling Yichen looked at him emotionlessly as he took a step forward and slashed his sword like a lightning strike.
The two swords collided with a terrifying explosion of strength. Ye Qingyun’s chest constricted as he was sent flying backwards from the impact. He crashed into a tree, breaking a branch that was as thick as a man’s waist.
Ye Qingyun’s back throbbed with an intense pain, and his internal organs felt like they had been shaken terribly. Only at this point did Ye Qingyun recall that when one had just been promoted into the realm of True Essence, the strength their body was not only their own, but also the abundant spiritual strength of heaven and earth. When these two strong forces merged, it was something that he definitely could not withstand.
Ye Qingyun stood up slowly and dusted himself off, no longer daring to act recklessly. However, seeing Ling Yichen being promoted to the realm of True Essence right before him made him reluctant to pursue the battle. He hesitated for a while, and in the end, still did not make a move.
‘Hmph, let’s hope your promotion to the realm of True Essence goes smoothly! Be careful that you don’t die.’ Ye Qingyun could only silently curse in his heart. Naturally, he had experienced the dangers of promotion from Great Fulfilment to True Essence. Back then, if it were not for the aid of two elders of the Heavenly Star Sect, he would have died from the fearsome collision of Battle Qi and spiritual qi inside him.
