“Alas…” Yun Che shook his head and stretched out his hand towards Fen Juechen. However, he did not launch a fatal attack. Instead, he released a long-accumulated energy of heaven and earth and transferred it to Fen Juechen’s body.
All of Fen Juechen's wounds were sealed immediately, and a weak vitality flowed through his nearly exhausted profound veins and meridians...Although it was weak, it was enough for Fen Juechen to regain his ability to move, and even enough for him to fly away from the East China Sea.
Fen Juechen's eyes widened, and his vision regained clarity. He supported his body with his arms, and with difficulty straightened his upper body, his pupils filled with shock, unwillingness, resentment, and humiliation stared at Yun Che: "Kill me if you want... Don't even think about... humiliating me!"
“Humiliate you?” Yun Che curled his lips in disdain: “I don’t have such low-level interests. And I won’t kill you either.”
“You…” Yun Che’s words did not make Fen Juechen show the slightest joy, but only deeper humiliation.
“I didn’t kill you four years ago because you saved my aunt Xiao Lingxi once. And during the three years I was away from the Profound Sky Continent, if it weren’t for you, I would probably not have seen my aunt when I came back.” Yun Che stared deeply at Fen Juechen’s hideous face that was filled with hatred: “To be honest, even though you are full of hatred and resentment towards me, I can’t hate you at all. On the contrary, I feel a little grateful to you.”
"I don't need your hypocrisy. My saving her has nothing to do with you!! If you have the guts, kill me right now! Otherwise, one day... I will make you live a life worse than death!" Fen Juechen roared hoarsely. Being forgiven by someone he hated so much... or even grateful? For him, this was an unbearable humiliation.
“I’m letting you go today. It’s my way of repaying you for saving my aunt for the second time. From now on, I won’t owe you anything!” Yun Che said coldly, “If you want to kill me for revenge, then you should cherish the life I spared you for the second time! Although your injuries are severe and your vitality is greatly damaged, you should be able to fully recover in two months at your current level. During these two months, you must hide well, otherwise, your death will be in vain!”
"Next time you come to kill me... don't dream of leaving alive like you did today!"
The air was still scorching hot, but the wave finally subsided a little. Fen Juechen slowly stood up. Although he was weak all over, his eyes were still as sinister as a wolf: "You will... regret it... The reason why I lost to you today... was just because of the weapon..."
"When I retrieve the Heavenly Sin Sword... I will repay you all the blood debt and humiliation... a million times over!!"
The Heavenly Sin Sword?
Fen Juechen’s words made Yun Che frown.
Fen Juechen also quickly realized that he had spoken out of control due to his out-of-control emotions. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain all over his body, flew into the air, and flew towards the south.
“…” Yun Che looked at his bloodstained back, hesitated for a moment, and did not chase after him. Instead, he watched him walk away indifferently.
“Try to live a few more years. She will be sad if you die.” Yun Che suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Fen Juechen, who was already two hundred feet away, trembled slightly.
“The Heavenly Sin Sword… Why would he want to get this sword?” Yun Che retracted his gaze and his brows gradually tightened. The Heavenly Sin Sword, that was the “Devil Sword” of the “Devil Sword Conference”!
Moreover, Fen Juechen did not use the word "get" or "take away", but "take back"!
If Fen Juechen had not expressed it incorrectly, the meaning behind the word "retrieve" would be too intriguing.
In addition, Fen Juechen's last words vaguely revealed that... he seemed to know how to control the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword.
"He went to the Demon Sword Conference for a reason... He went there to get the Heavenly Sin Sword. And it sounds like he not only knows about the existence of the Heavenly Sin Sword, but also seems to have some... special origin or purpose. What's going on?"
"Then why don't you keep him and ask him clearly?" Jasmine asked unhappily.
“His bones are almost harder than mine. If he doesn’t want to talk about something, even if I torture him to death, he won’t reveal a single word. Forcing him to stay is just a waste of effort.” Yun Che said helplessly: “You also saw that I tried to use his Xuan Gang Soul Capture before, and it also failed directly.”
“Hmph.” Jasmine snorted coldly, but did not deny it. She said, “I have warned you before that he has only absorbed less than half of the magic source in his body so far. He was absolutely sure that he could kill you today, but he was still defeated by you and you spared his life. Under the humiliation, he will definitely absorb the magic source even more crazily.”
"You have already seen how fast he has grown in just three months. If you don't kill him today, you are not just taking a simple risk, but a disaster that is very likely to kill you in a short period of time. You won't even have the chance to regret it by then!"
“I knew you would say that… I understand all of this.” Yun Che said slowly, “But after all, he has saved my aunt many times. Moreover, I know my aunt too well. She seems strong and optimistic, but in fact she is too kind and soft-hearted. She is grateful to Fen Juechen, and at the same time, she has always taken the blame for the extermination of the Fentian Sect and Fen Juechen’s hatred for me on herself. If I really kill Fen Juechen, she will take the blame for Fen Juechen’s death on herself, and leave a knot in her heart that may be difficult to untie for the rest of my life… Rather than doing that, I would rather choose to leave myself with a future trouble.”
"Besides, just because he saved my aunt twice, he has the right to let me do this."
As he spoke, Yun Che turned around and looked towards the east. At the same time, he quickly changed into a slightly looser set of clothes to cover up the injuries on his body, especially the injuries on his shoulders.
“Brother Yun!”
“Xiao Che!!”
As a scorching wave parted the water, Feng Xue'er and Xiao Lingxi flew over quickly.
“Xiao Che, are you okay? Are you injured?” Xiao Lingxi stopped beside Yun Che and quickly grasped his hand. She anxiously looked at his whole body. Seeing that he was safe, she finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her heart all the way.
“Of course I’m fine. Not a single hair is missing.” Yun Che said with a relaxed expression.
“Brother Yun, I’m sorry…” Feng Xue’er lowered her head and said timidly, “I… I didn’t listen to you…”
“I know that you took the risk to come here because you were too worried about me.” Yun Che smiled gently. He took Feng Xue’er’s hand and said, “I have already said that nothing will happen to me. I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
“Then… what about Fen Juechen? Has he…” Xiao Lingxi asked softly. On the way here, she and Feng Xue’er witnessed the terrifying scene of the battle between darkness and fire. In the end, it was the fire that burned out the darkness… which also meant that Yun Che defeated Fen Juechen.
The two were mortal enemies, and the final scene was so tragic... Yun Che won, which meant that Fen Juechen...
“Fen Juechen…” Yun Che smiled slightly and pointed to the south: “He is there. Although he was badly injured, it is not a problem for him to fly away from the sea. However, it may take one or two months to fully recover.”
Severely injured and weak, Fen Juechen flew very slowly, and even a slightly stronger sea breeze could shake him violently. So even though a while had passed, he could still see a dark shadow trying to move away in the distance.
The blurry black shadow seemed to have sensed Xiao Lingxi's arrival and began to speed up desperately. Its body shook even more violently, as if it was trying desperately to escape... and it even nearly fell into the sea several times.
Xiao Lingxi’s expression relaxed. She placed her hands on Yun Che’s arms and leaned her head gently towards him: “Xiao Che, thank you.”
“Thank me? Why?” Yun Che asked with a smile.
"I know that Xiao Che didn't kill him because of me. It's just... it's just like this..." Xiao Lingxi closed her eyes, feeling warm, bitter and worried. She didn't want Fen Juechen to die, because she knew he was not a bad person, and was very pitiful. He was also a benefactor to whom she was deeply grateful. But if Yun Che let him go because of her, he would desperately want to kill Yun Che again...
She didn’t know what to think or do... and she didn’t know how to resolve Fen Juechen’s hatred for Yun Che. After all, it was the hatred of exterminating the entire family.
“Hahaha,” Yun Che laughed loudly and said solemnly, “Although Fen Juechen has always wanted to kill me, he saved my aunt’s life, and my aunt’s life is a million times more valuable than his life in my opinion, so it is only natural for me to let him go. Moreover, if I let him go, he might be grateful in his heart. In addition, he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he can never be my opponent, so he probably won’t bother me again in the future.”
“Xiao Che…” Xiao Lingxi whispered softly, and tightly grasped Yun Che’s arms.
Feeling all of Xiao Lingxi's nervousness and worries disappear, Yun Che also completely relaxed. He held Xiao Lingxi's slender waist with one hand and took Feng Xue'er's hand with the other: "Let's go back. Grandpa and the others must be worried about us."
Yun Che’s profound energy surged as he turned back towards Floating Cloud City, but his speed was several times slower than when he came here, and the things he was thinking in his mind were much more complicated.
Eternal Night Magic Scripture… Dark Mysterious Power… Heavenly Sin Divine Sword…
What secrets are hidden in Fen Juechen?
——————————————————
Waves kept rising on the sea surface. Fen Juechen covered his chest with his hands and flew slower and slower. His face was full of pain and his palms were completely wet with red-black blood.
A small island appeared in sight. Fen Juechen gritted his teeth and flew over, shaking. As soon as his mind relaxed a little, his body fell heavily to the edge of the island.
He supported himself on the ground with his hands and turned over with difficulty, breathing heavily, his ten fingers tightly grasping into the cold mud and sand.
"Why... is it like this... cough... cough cough..." He coughed painfully, and every time he coughed, large amounts of black blood would come out, and occasionally he would even cough up pieces of internal organs.
"Oh, what a poor man."
A cold and heart-piercing voice suddenly sounded in front of him, and the tone... seemed to be the voice of a girl! Fen Juechen raised his head suddenly... Less than five steps in front of him, he saw a petite red shadow.
A girl appeared there silently like a ghost!
She looked only twelve or thirteen years old, wearing an elegant red dress, with long red hair and an incredibly delicate face. But it was this little girl who made his nerves tighten as if in spasm, and every cell in his body was shaking wildly and uncontrollably.
In his entire life, even in the most desperate moments, he had never trembled like this.
"You... who are you!" The girl's eyes were so beautiful that they were enchanting. Under the gaze of these eyes, he was trembling and could hardly feel the existence of his body.
The girl did not answer him. A cold sneer flashed across her beautiful face. "You paid a huge price and gained powerful strength. You thought you could easily kill your enemy. But you didn't expect that the opponent's Demon Slayer Sword would be the biggest nemesis of your strength. Your defeat is truly pitiful."
“…Who…are…you?”
The girl's eyes were cold. She slowly raised her arms. A red light deeper than blood flashed on her palms, which were whiter than the first snow. "He won't kill you, but that doesn't mean I won't kill you! The demonic power that was extinct in ancient times has appeared in your body, and it also determines your fate!"
As the girl's voice fell, the red light in her palm turned into a very thin red light, and flew towards Fen Juechen with a sudden hissing sound in space...
