Ling Tianni was seriously injured. If the wound on his chest had gone deeper, it would have been enough to destroy his internal organs. He knew very well that Yun Che had shown mercy in his last attack. Not only did he suddenly withdraw most of his strength, but even the direction of his attack had deviated from his vital points. He sighed in his heart and said to Ling Jie in a weak voice, "Let's... go..."
Ling Jie said nothing, and took Ling Tianni with him to leave. At this moment, Yun Che's cold voice came from behind them: "Ling Tianni, do you want to leave like this?"
Ling Jie paused, and Ling Tianni was also slightly shaken... Ling Jie could clearly feel Ling Tianni trembling... That's right, it was trembling! And it seemed to be a trembling of fear. Once the inner demon is planted, even a peerless strong man at the level of Sword Saint will never be able to get rid of or resist it.
Yun Che stared at Ling Tianni with a gloomy look: "You just left like that, aren't you afraid that I will bear a grudge against you and attack Tianjian Villa one day, turning your Tianjian Villa into the second Burning Heaven Sect! Don't doubt that I have such ability... Three years ago, I had no profound strength at all. A year and a half ago, I won the first place in the ranking battle. Now, I can destroy Burning Heaven Sect by myself... Although I can't defeat you by myself now, and it is even more impossible to destroy Tianjian Villa, but, in two years, at most give me two more years, I can easily turn Tianjian Villa into ruins... Do you believe it or not?!"
In three years, from having no profound strength to being able to seriously injure Ling Tianni, this growth rate is unprecedented, shocking, and even chilling. No one can imagine that with this growth rate, in another two years, Yun Che's strength will reach a terrifying level.
Perhaps at that time, he could really rival the entire Tianjian Villa alone.
Ling Tianni's body trembled again... A young man who was less than 20 years old, clamoring to destroy Tianjian Villa by himself, this should have been a ridiculous joke, but Ling Tianni not only couldn't laugh, but felt cold all over. Even if he didn't have a demon in his heart, Yun Che's words were enough to terrify him. Because today, he had personally experienced Yun Che's fear... In fact, he was already extremely regretful for coming to kill Yun Che. In the end, he failed to kill Yun Che, but was seriously injured, and was left with a demon in his heart, which also brought an extremely terrifying enemy to Tianjian Villa.
“But don’t worry, I won’t!” Yun Che gritted his teeth and said, “Because it’s only you who wants to kill me, not the entire Tianjian Villa. I didn’t even kill you… because Xiaojie is my brother, and I absolutely don’t want to kill his relatives. I said these words to let you know that I’m not the vicious person you say I am. I have my own principles and bottom line for what I do and who I kill. The grudge between me and the Burning Heaven Sect has nothing to do with others. If the Burning Heaven Sect’s remnants or descendants come to seek revenge on me, that is only natural. And you, Ling Tianni… you are just an outsider who knows nothing. Why do you appear in front of me as a judge and claim to ‘enforce justice on behalf of heaven’!”
"Although I still have enough strength to kill you, I will spare your life today. In the future, I will not cause trouble for Tianjian Villa. If you still think that I am an evil person who has lost all humanity, then you can come and kill me after your injuries have healed!"
Ling Tianni closed his eyes and sighed, "Perhaps, I was really wrong. Since I have been defeated today, it will be even more impossible for me to kill you in the future. I also sincerely hope... that I am wrong..."
"Jer, let's go."
Ling Jie turned around and glanced at Yun Che. His eyes were filled with gratitude, admiration, and an indescribable complexity. In the end, he said nothing, turned around, helped Ling Tianni onto the Zephyr Bird, and flew away.
"call……"
Yun Che let out a long breath, and fell down weakly, just leaning on Xia Qingyue’s soft chest. He closed his eyes and said softly: “Qingyue, don’t leave yet. For the next period of time... I will need your protection..."
After saying this, Yun Che’s consciousness could no longer hold on and he fell into a complete blank…
——————————————————
When the news came, Xiao Juetian's hands and feet felt cold, his scalp was numb, and his head almost exploded.
"What you said... is it true?"
“Absolutely true!” Xiao Boyun said with a sullen face, “Ling Tianni did what we expected, and he chased us all the way to Blue Wind Imperial City. However, when he fought with Yun Che, instead of killing him, he was severely injured by Yun Che and his allies. Yun Che finally stopped fighting, otherwise, Ling Tianni might have died at Yun Che’s hands. They fought in the Imperial City, and countless people in the Imperial City saw it with their own eyes.”
“In addition, Xia Qingyue assisted Yun Che in the name of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, and did not hesitate to fight against Ling Tianni… Yun Che’s strength alone is already terrifying, and behind him, he actually has the full protection of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace! In addition, it is said that everyone present heard the four words ‘Frozen End Divine Art’. Xia Qingyue may have already mastered the legendary supreme profound art of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Yun Che and Xia Qingyue, the couple, joined forces, and Ling Tianni could only be defeated. In the entire Cangfeng, there is no one who can match him!”
Xiao Juetian sat down on the chair, sweating profusely.
“Sect Master, after Yun Che severely injured Ling Tianni, his own strength was greatly depleted and he fainted on the spot. He must be extremely weak now. Should we…” Although Xiao Boyun did not continue, his tone and eyes made it clear enough.
Xiao Juetian's brows twitched slightly, and then he suddenly asked: "Did Xia Qingyue leave?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Boyun’s expression changed slightly, and he shook his head: “She brought Yun Che to the Blue Wind Palace and never came out.”
“It is said that the Frozen End Divine Art is a supreme profound art that is even more powerful than the Heavenly Sword Divine Art. If Xia Qingyue really mastered it, then even my father might not be her match. How can we assassinate Yun Che under Xia Qingyue’s protection? If the assassination fails and our tracks are revealed, we won’t even have the last bit of room for compromise!” Xiao Juetian said bitterly.
He stood up suddenly and said, “Prepare the Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal, Purple Jade Gold Scale Cream, and Scarlet Eagle Mysterious Blood immediately. You will go to comfort Yun Che in person. Also bring thirty kilograms of purple crystal and twenty kilograms of white mysterious jade. Also, select three female disciples with excellent qualifications and looks from among the female disciples under the age of eighteen to give to Yun Che… Set off before dark today and make sure to get there before Yun Che recovers from his injury.”
Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal, Purple Jade Gold Scale Cream, Red Eagle Mysterious Blood… These were the three most precious and rarest of the thousands of spiritual medicines owned by the Xiao Clan. In order to express his sincerity to Yun Che, Xiao Juetian had made a huge investment. Xiao Boyun trembled with pain when he heard this, but now that things had come to this, facing the threat of extermination, they had no other choice.
………………………………
Yun Che was in a coma for two whole days before he finally woke up.
The main reason why he was unconscious for so long was not because of excessive overdrawn strength, but because of excessive mental exhaustion. After all, with his current ability, using the Dragon Soul Domain was too much of a stretch.
"You're awake."
Yun Che just opened his eyes when a cold voice sounded beside his ears. He saw himself lying on a soft bed, surrounded by gorgeous curtains embroidered with golden phoenix feathers. A faint fragrance floated at the tip of his nose. He turned his eyes and saw Xia Qingyue's graceful figure beside the bed.
“Qingyue…” Yun Che called out, his voice was dry, and his whole body was still filled with a deep sense of fatigue: “How many days have I slept?”
“Two days.” Xia Qingyue turned around and said, “I’ll go call them.”
“Ah… wait.” Yun Che quickly called out to her, and Xia Qingyue’s steps also stopped.
“This time, it’s a good thing you came.” Yun Che said with a smile.
Xia Qingyue turned sideways and said in a cold yet gentle voice: “Without me, Ling Tianni still can’t kill you.”
"Although he couldn't kill me, I would have had to flee in the end. But with you here, I can make him return in disgrace... The result will be completely different."
“…Ling Tianni was severely injured by you. Now the outside world is spreading rumors that the title of Blue Wind’s number one person can be transferred to another person.” Xia Qingyue glanced at Yun Che.
“Is that so… But titles are always the most useless thing.” Yun Che said calmly. He looked straight at Xia Qingyue and suddenly said, “Qingyue, can you come closer to me? I feel like… I haven’t taken a good look at you in a long time.”
The suddenly ambiguous words caused Xia Qingyue's breathing to become slightly disordered. She did not move her body, but after a while, she lightly moved her feet and sat down on the bed.
Yun Che also sat up at this time. Although he was physically weak, his profound strength was not depleted. During the two days of coma, his profound strength had recovered by about 30%. Now that he was awake, the speed of recovery would be several times faster. When Xia Qingyue just sat down on the bed, he suddenly stretched out his arms and carefully hugged Xia Qingyue's shoulders.
Xia Qingyue’s body visibly stiffened for a moment, and she subconsciously tried to move away: “You…”
“Qingyue, close your eyes.” Yun Che gently but firmly hugged her from behind. His arms slowly slid down from her shoulders to her willow-like waist. He looked at Xia Qingyue from a close distance. Her face was so perfect that it was almost dreamlike.
“What are you going to… do?” Xia Qingyue’s breathing became completely disordered when he suddenly hugged her like this, and her whole body froze there. For a moment, she didn’t know whether she should struggle to break free.
Yun Che’s face slowly approached, and a magical voice rang in her ears: “Qingyue, my dear wife, we have been married for three years, but in these three years, I have never kissed you. This time... let me kiss you, okay?”
“…” Yun Che’s voice was getting closer and closer. The warm breath slowly moved from her ear to her cheek, and even touched her lips. Xia Qingyue’s whole body froze. She had never experienced anything like this before and almost lost the ability to think. She was like a proud snow-capped ice lotus that had turned into a puppet.
Yun Che’s cheek slowly moved closer, and just when he was about to touch Xia Qingyue’s lips, a panicked and cold force suddenly pushed him away. Xia Qingyue stood up, not daring to look into his eyes. She said in a panic, “I’ll go tell them you’re awake,” and then left as if escaping.
Yun Che’s head was pushed against the wall, and he grimaced in pain. He touched the place where he was hit and muttered indignantly in a low voice: “When I reach the Tianxuan realm, I will force myself on you… ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
