Chapter 709 - Stupid Beyond Comprehension

However, there was nobody by Ling Yichen’s side to protect him now. Of course, even if there was someone around, unless they had the power of True Essence, they could not help in any way. A cruel smile bloomed on Ye Qingyun’s face. Ling Yichen was dead for sure, and it would definitely be a painful death.

Ling Yichen’s eyes were turning red, and it was obvious that he was withstanding a lot of pain. Noticing this, Ye Qingyun sneered mockingly.

However, he quickly froze.

The surrounding spiritual qi became weaker and weaker, and a faint natural aura was radiating off Ling Yichen’s body. It was the Qi of True Essence, created from the integration of Battle Qi and spiritual qi. At the same time, Ling Yichen’s majestic aura had become more pronounced.

‘He actually managed to breakthrough!’ Ye Qingyun looked at Ling Yichen in disbelief, and clenched his sword tightly. Ye Qingyun’s uneasiness intensified. If this person was not killed today, in the future, he would definitely become a huge thorn in his side.

He had to take advantage of this time when Ling Yichen had just been promoted, since he had not adapted to using the Qi of True Essence yet. This was Ye Qingyun’s best opportunity to take him down.

Jiang Wuhen realized his intentions and held his sword to stand guard by Ling Yichen’s side. However, Jiang Wuhen knew that with his current cultivation, he was no match for Ye Qingyun. Ye Qingyun’s eyes flashed red as he clenched his fists. Today, he would destroy these people who dared to get in his way!

At that moment, a voice rang out: “Yichen!”

Ling Chuxi suddenly appeared beside Ling Yichen, looking concerned.

“Chuxi, why are you here?” Ling Yichen smiled bitterly. Although he did not want to trouble Ling Chuxi, she had still noticed the flowing of spiritual qi when he was being promoted earlier.

“Leave this to me.” Ling Chuxi saw the bloodstains on Ling Yichen and fury burned in her. She slowly drew out her Luo Chen Sword.

“You’ve finally appeared. That’s good, I can deal with all of you together.” Ye Qingyun clenched his sword confidently.

“Why?” Ling Chuxi frowned. When they left The Village Restaurant, she had felt Ye Qingyun’s hostile gaze, but until now, she did not understand why he felt that way.

“You provoked someone you should not have provoked,” Ye Qingyun said slowly.

“Qing Lingyan,” Jiang Wuhen scoffed.

“So this is her doing.” Jiang Wuhen did not need to say anything more, Ling Chuxi knew that this battle was unavoidable. She had long experienced Qing Lingyan’s craziness and since he had come because of her, today’s battle was surely a fight to the death.

Ling Chuxi’s gaze turned serious. Ye Qingyun was also at the realm of True Essence, and his cultivation should be higher than hers. Although she had the Core of Martial Path, the other party came from a sect and had his own top-notch skills. Ling Chuxi was not entirely confident she could win this time, but so what? She had never been afraid of anyone and would never retreat! She would just have to fight with everything she had, and hope for the best.

The night sky suddenly turned ice cold.

At such a tense moment, an unexpected sound suddenly interrupted them.

“Hahahaha! The young master of the Heavenly Star Sect actually got messed up and injured by two people from the realm of Great Fulfilment! You even looked on as someone else was promoted into the realm of True Essence! Ah, you are truly stupid beyond comprehension. Oh, this is hilarious, I’m going to die of laughter.” A young man walked over from behind a tree, laughing uncontrollably.

“Wei Wuji, what did you say?!” Seeing the person who was approaching, Ye Qingyun’s face turned red. He originally thought that only the heavens would know about this matter today, who’d have thought that Wei Wuji had actually come over too!
