Chapter 196 – Second Defeat

“Yun …… Junior Sister Yun!!!”

Cang Yue covered her lips at once, looking in disbelief at the figure in front of her that was close at hand, her vision becoming hazy for a split second, making it seem as if she had fallen into a dream world, and a gust of dizziness even appeared in her mind.

She took a step forward, and although she forcefully suppressed the urge to jump into his arms, the teardrops on her face couldn’t be stopped and rustled down, and she looked at Yun Che, suppressing her sobbing voice, wanting to speak, but she was already sobbing uncontrollably, and couldn’t say a single complete sentence.

Yun Che came to Cang Yue’s body, not caring that Qin Wushan and the other two people were on the side, reached out and gently wiped away the teardrops on her face, and said in a heartbroken voice, “I’m sorry, Senior Sister, for making you worry.”

The voice belonging to Yun Che was like the gentlest of light winds echoing in Cang Yue’s ears, and she had thought that she would never hear his voice again in her life. She grabbed Yun Che’s hand, her teardrops of surprise unable to stop as she sobbed, “I …… I thought …… thought …… never again …… never …… again.”

“I didn’t tell Elder Sister that the place I went to was the Death Wasteland, it was my fault …… But, I’m back, safe and sound, and not a single hair is missing.” Yun Che smiled and comforted, “Before I left, I promised Elder Sister that I would definitely come back within half a year, and even though I was almost late, I thankfully did not break my promise to Elder Sister. Elder sister, don’t cry …… In the future, wherever I go, I will honestly tell you, and never let you worry about me again.”

Cang Yue’s tears, Yun Che’s soft words …… Even a fool could clearly see the relationship between them at this point. Qin Wuxian was just fine, after all, he had long since noticed the end, Qin Wuyou had also hinted to him several times, although he was watching from the side more or less somewhat awkward and uncomfortable, but also still acceptable. And the wind is not the mortal and Fang Feilong’s expression on the wonderful more …… Yun Che in half a year ago is a widely concerned character, he died in the death of the Wasteland thing, they also have heard, with the crown prince and the third prince side, they also occasionally heard of the Cang Yue Princess and the Yun Che walk some close, but at this time, they are close to the eyes of two people all kinds of Tears Floating Emotions Flowing ……

Yun Che is dead or alive, it doesn’t matter to them, after all, he’s only a small person in their eyes, at best, he has extraordinary influence in the younger generation, plus he’s been valued by the Crown Prince and the Third Prince. But Cang Yue …… she was the only princess of the Cang Feng Empire’s royal family! An even more important status than that – she was also the woman that Burning Jade City had its eyes on!

After Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong were surprised, a few more points of pity were immediately added to their gazes towards Yun Che: not to mention Princess Cang Yue’s identity, daring to taint the woman that Burning Jiecheng seemed to be interested in, if it was spread to Burning Jiecheng’s ears, this Yun Che, even if the entire Cangfeng Xuanfu was protecting him, he would definitely die an incomparably miserable death, and there could never be a second consequence.

Glancing at Qin Wuhuang and the two people with abnormal expressions, Yun Che pinched Cang Yue’s hand and took a step forward, saying, “Qin Mansion Master, half a year ago, I left the mansion without saying goodbye, and privately left the mansion, so I still hope that Qin Mansion Master will forgive me.”

“Hehe, it’s good to be back safely, it’s good to be back.” Qin Wuhuang smiled gently. Looking at Yun Che’s safe return, he was also greatly pleased in his heart, at the very least, Princess Cang Yue would not continue to have a heart as if it was dead and heartbroken, he nodded slightly and said, “Well! And it looks like the results of your training over the past half a year have been quite astonishing. Your Xuan Li level is now …… hmm? What! True Xuan Realm ten …… tenth level? This this this ……”

He had originally felt that Yun Che’s vaguely outward Xuan Force aura was much thicker than half a year ago, so he was very pleased. And it was only when he really probed a bit that he was shocked beyond belief to realize that his Xuan Force level had actually reached the tenth level of the True Xuan Realm!

And the last time he saw Yun Che was half a year ago, and at that time, when he was dueling with Murong Yi, his Xuan Force was only at the True Xuan Realm Level 2 …… In half a year’s time, he actually crossed eight levels in a row!

“True Xuan …… level ten? Ah?” Cang Yue turned her face, which was still hanging with teardrops, and said in shock and delight, “Senior Brother Yun, is it true that …… your current Xuan Power has really reached the peak of the True Xuan Realm?”

Qin WuXian’s words caused Feng BuFan and Fang FeiLong’s faces to change, and they immediately probed up Yun Che’s Xuan energy, and the results they obtained caused their faces to change drastically once again, and the shock in their hearts was incomparable. Half a year ago when he fought Murong Yi, they also naturally knew about it, and they also knew Yun Che’s Xuan Power level at that time …… And in half a year’s time, to cross eight levels in a row, this kind of amplitude of crossing over, they had never even heard of it.

Even the current number one genius of the younger generation – Heavenly Sword Villa’s Young Villa Master Ling Yun – would definitely not be able to leap from True Xuan Realm level two to True Xuan Realm level ten in half a year.

What shocked Qin Wuhuang even more was that not only had Yun Che’s Xuan power skyrocketed today, but his breath was extremely solid …… raising eight ranks in half a year, and his Xuan Qi was still so smooth and thick, no matter which point, it was enough to astonish the world.

Yun Che smiled and nodded: ”Yes. Although the Death Wasteland is thrilling everywhere, it can indeed give people excellent training.”

If it was merely a training experience, with Yun Che’s fifty-four Xuan Guan’s Xuan Pulse fully open, half a year’s time would also result in a huge enhancement, but it would never be as much as this. Obtaining the inheritance of the Dragon God bloodline was the true key point.

“This …… this is unbelievable.” Qin Wuhuang was so excited that he stuttered a little, “Even those direct disciples of sects with abundant resources and top-tier inheritance would definitely not be able to have an advancement like yours in half a year’s time. It seems that I have always greatly underestimated you, and it is no wonder that Her Highness the Princess would attach such importance to you …… huh.”

“Mistress Qin overpraises.” Yun Che casually smiled, then cut to the chase, “The Cangfeng Ranking Battle should start in two more days, I would like to represent the Imperial Family and participate in this Ranking Battle, I wonder if Qin Mansion Master can oblige?”

“This ……” Qin WuXian hesitated for a moment, glanced at Feng BuFan and Fang FeiLong, and said, “Each power participating in the qualifying battle can only bring a maximum of three participating disciples. The three who will represent the royal family in the battle have already been selected through the competition in the inner courtyard, these two senior brothers of yours beside me are two of them, and there is another one, Burning Dust. If you want to participate, I’m afraid ……”

“This is fine.” Yun Che turned his gaze to Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong, “Since this is a ranking battle, the result of the competition is related to the royal family’s ranking among all the forces, and naturally, the royal family’s face, so the disciples who are participating must be chosen from the disciples with the strongest strength. Since these two senior brothers are two of the strongest three selected, is it true that all I have to do is defeat any of them and I can take their place?”

“This ……” Qin WuXian glanced at Cang Yue and slowly nodded, “That is indeed true. If you are stronger than either of your two senior brothers, you are naturally more qualified to fight on behalf of the royal family.”

“Good then.” Yun Che put his right hand behind his back and extended his left hand towards Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong, “Then I’ll be here, asking the two senior brothers for some advice, I wonder which one of them will be the first to give it?”

The content of Yun Che’s conversation with Qin WuXian caused Feng BuFan and Fang FeiLong to simultaneously show disdain, although Yun Che’s progress was indeed incomparably astonishing, the two of them were both people who had long ago broken through the True Xuan Realm and had stayed in the Spirit Xuan Realm for over a year, so how could they place a Xuanist of the 10th level of the True Xuan Realm in their eyes, and even more so, it was impossible for them to believe that they would be defeated by a True Xuan Realm Xuanist.

In the face of Yun Che’s stance, both of them smiled contemptuously. Fang Feilong skimmed his lips and said, “Feng Bufan, you’ll be the one to do it then.”

Feng Bufan slanted the corner of his eye and laughed coldly, “Fang Feilong, you’re nothing more than my defeated opponent, no matter what, it’s not my turn to come. If you can’t even pass your level, is there any need for me to make a move?”

Fang Feilong was furious: “Surname Feng, you only took the Golden Scale Dragon Transformation Pill early and broke through that one or two months earlier than me! In the next two days when I finish refining the Golden Scale Dragon Transforming Pill, it’s not certain who will be defeated by whom!”

“There’s no need for the two senior brothers to argue.” Yun Che said with a smile, “If you can’t decide who will bestow your teachings, then it’s fine if you go together.”

When these words came out, Qin Wushan and Cang Yue were startled. Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong froze, then simultaneously sneered. Feng Bufan said, “Hmph, Yun Che, you really are as arrogant and cocky as the legends ……”

Feng Bufan had only just opened his mouth when he was already interrupted by Yun Che in a very nonchalant manner, “The qualifying battle is already imminent, so it’s better not to waste time by saying unnecessary words. If the two senior brothers don’t take the initiative to fight, then I’ll be impolite.”

As his voice fell, Yun Che’s figure shifted and directly greeted the two of them, Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong, and in the process of approaching, his figure suddenly split into two, allowing Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong to clearly see that there was one Yun Che attacking towards them respectively.

With a True Xuan Realm opponent, Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong would not feel the slightest pressure, much less panic. And for a True Xuan Realm to even presume to challenge two Spirit Xuan Realms at the same time was simply a travesty in their eyes.

“Seek death!”

The two coldly shouted, each reaching out to grab the Yun Che in front of them, but their hands grabbed empty in unison …… two Yun Che, both of which were residual shadows! However, these two residual shadows were completely indistinguishable from real people before they were attacked by them, without any trace of the trance-like illusory feeling that residual shadows should have.

This was the power of the Star God Shattered Shadow.

Yun Che’s real body, on the other hand, appeared above them, his body made a sideways rotation, and his hands were violently braced, simultaneously pushing towards the two men, like lightning, striking the two men’s shoulders with a left and right blow that did not seem to be light or heavy.

Yun Che’s surprise attack caused a shock in their hearts, but they were fearless in the face of Yun Che’s attack. A True Xuan Realm’s attack, or a scattered attack that blasted at both of them at the same time, was simply impossible to break through their Xuan Force defense. And the moment it struck, all the two people had to do was to counter-attack with their Xuan Force at the same time, and the counter-attacking force of two Spirit Xuan Realm realms would be enough to cause this arrogant brat who didn’t know the heights of heaven to suffer serious injuries.

However, when Yun Che’s palms struck their shoulders, an inexplicable sense of oppression caused their entire body to go cold in an instant, and their heartbeat to stop abruptly, and then with a loud bang, they felt as if they were being hit by a 10,000-pound sledgehammer, their Xuan Force Defense, along with the idea of “counter-attack! The defense of Xuan Power along with their “Anti-Shock” thoughts instantly collapsed, and both of them let out a muffled grunt at the same time, like two bundles of straws that were thrown out, they flew far away from each other, and flew a distance of more than a dozen feet all the way out, and then lay on the ground, groaning in pain, unable to climb up for half a day.

It was true that Yun Che’s Xuan Power was only at the tenth level of the True Xuan Realm, but his strength could not be measured by the level height of his Xuan Power!

Defeated in seconds!

And it was defeating two people in seconds!

These two people were still the top young generation powerhouses that had dominated the second and third place of the Inner Palace Tianxuan Ranking for over a year!

Qin Wuhuang’s two old eyes immediately stared wider than a bull’s eye, Cang Yue also let out a delicate cry, subconsciously covering her mouth, the emotional color in her beautiful eyes turned from surprise to surprise, and then turned into deep admiration and worship …… such as one of the most ordinary young girls, to the person of her heart the worship of mighty and courageous state.

Looking at the two people who couldn’t climb up in the middle of the day, Yun Che looked at his own hands and said with a slight embarrassment: ”Sorry, two senior brothers, accidentally, some of the shots were too heavy …… Eh, Qin House Lord, this …… I really didn’t mean it! …… should, it won’t delay the qualifying battle, right?”
