Chapter 69: I'm A Nice Person (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone could feel the growth in Ling Xi's strength.
Yet, Gu Ruoyun only looked at him with an obscure expression.
Since the battle had started, she had felt that something was off with Ling Xi's cultivation base, as if it was unstable. This meant that although he might appear to be a Martial Warrior, his true strength was only as high as the 7th level of the Qi collection ranks.
But had his master not caution him about the downside of practicing this cultivation technique? Did he know that he could NEVER use whatever offensive ultimate techniques that he had? He might deal the same damage as an actual Martial Warrior would with this technique but it would cost him his ability to ever cultivate again in this life!
He was sacrificing his entire life's strength— just to get back at her.
"Hahaha!" Ling Xi gave a loud, unhinged laughter amidst the chaos. Malice and revenge had completely consumed whatever shred of humanity that was left in him. "Don't blame me for what I'm about to do, Gu Ruoyun! You signed the waiver, so now I'm gonna fulfill the terms. Say hi to your mother and father!"
White cold light reflected off his blade. His presence had shifted immediately before her. His blade might be cold but it was nothing compared to the lunatic, eager grin on his face, brought upon by the thought of his blade severing Gu Ruoyun's neck—
Smash!
In a move to defend herself, Gu Ruoyun managed to find herself a wooden club and she swung it when Ling Xi was about to strike. The club blocked the sword, parrying its physical blow, but the two combatants' energy pitted themselves against one another, letting out a shockwave of light that pulverized all the debris it came in contact with. The ground shook at the force.
In the aftermath, there was blood.
Blood was streaming down from her arm where the shockwave had ripped open a wound. The red liquid dripped down, pooling around Gu Ruoyun, painting a grotesque picture of her in the center.
Ling Xi was not the slightest bit deterred. He sneered, and in the next millisecond, he had somehow stepped into her personal space, right behind her.
"Gu Ruoyun! Behind you!" Luo Yin screamed from the crowd frantically.
Humans have always had that instinctive feeling when someone is watching them intensely, and Gu Ruoyun acted on that instinct, spinning her body — just in time to see the oncoming blade slashing towards her forehead, and hear the man's hatred-filled voice,
"The disgrace you brought to me at the Heavenly Spirit Formation… The Shame… I will return it all to you! Die, Gu Ruoyun!"
The yell seemed to have echoed off his blade as he swung it definitively to her head. He had completely forgotten Shi Yun's request…
"No!" Shi Yun's expression darkened. "Gu Ruoyun could not be killed in this way—her mental energy would be lost! Ling Xi you moron—you're ruining everything!"
It was too late. There was nothing she could do to interfere—
"You motherf*ckers! Stop right there!"
Elder Yu did not expect to see this scene as he rushed over from work. This… it was really bad for his heart!
In fact, this was tremendously, colossally and extremely bad. If young master knew this… If he knew what was happening to Gu Ruoyun, heads would roll in the Azure Dragon Kingdom. That year when young master heard that his beloved eldest sister was caught in a tight spot, he had stormed off to the Azure Dragon Kingdom with storm clouds and lightning. He had to be forcefully captured and dragged home by the Master himself, with an addition of a few years of being grounded as penance!
The young master was not a rebellious person by nature. He was a nice person—as long as nobody hurts the people he cared about. Yet lo and behold, his favorite Lady Gu was here, inches away from death by the hands and sword of that Ling family son of a bitch! Anyone could imagine how furious young master would be. He would have to relive the pain of losing another relative—the bitter anger birthed from within would be so immense that even the Master would not able to contain it this time!
Ling Xi, you dumb*ss son of a b*tch!!!!
