Chapter 357 – Tit for Tat

“This is a fellow at the sixth level of the Wang Xuan Realm! And has stayed at this level of strength for many years, his Xuan power is incomparably strong, and he also carries an unusually sharp aura.” Jasmine said with a cautious voice, “I didn’t expect that above this land, there were still people who had stepped into the middle stage of the King Xuan Realm. With your current strength, it is simply impossible to be his opponent.”

Mid King Xuan?

Yun Che looked sideways to the south with a grave expression on his face. After hearing Jasmine’s words, Yun Che instantly thought of a person …… At the same time, he also thought of Ling Jie’s warning that day.

The number one person in Cangfeng – Ling Tianwei!

Within Cangfeng, the only person who possessed such strength was Ling Tianwei!

Ling Jie’s original warning was fulfilled …… No, it was more thorough than his original warning. He not only struck out, but also personally chased to the imperial city, and sound transmission of the whole city to take his life!

Ling Tian Reverse, the previous Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Villa, was the pinnacle myth of Cangfeng Empire, and was even more recognized as the number one person in Cangfeng. When he was young, he was famous and obsessed with swords. Twenty years ago, he became the No. 1 person in the world, and his Xuan Li and sword attainments have reached the peak of the realm that no one can match. To this day, he has not been seen in front of people for twenty years, but the Cangfeng Empire has never circulated his myth, the young Xuanmen, most of them are listening to his legend, in his endless yearning for him to grow up.

And now, this mythical pinnacle figure had appeared in front of people for the purpose of killing Yun Che.

Only Yun Che had ever received such an honor.

When Ling Tianwei made his voice, the distance between him and Yun Che was already quite close. Yun Che could sense that he was now less than three miles in front of the palace. He even suspected that Ling Tianwei had simply discovered where he was, but he just didn’t want to enter the palace to do it.

After all, the Heavenly Sword Villa and the Cangfeng Imperial Family had a great deal of affinity at the beginning.

“He didn’t even appear until the Burning Sky Sect’s extermination, I thought that all my worries were redundant, but I didn’t expect that he would finally appear.” Yun Che whispered to Jasmine, “However, he’s already chased his ass, and he even went so far as to sound out the entire city just to force me to appear……. If he retreats and doesn’t respond, wouldn’t that be what I, Yun Che, would do!”

“Hmph, I knew you would say that!” Jasmine said with great disdain, “If you are unwilling to flee, then you could have rushed up and engaged him in battle. Although it’s impossible for you to win against him, but you have the Dragon God bloodline protecting you, it’s not that easy for him to kill you. But if you don’t know how to advance or retreat, you will definitely die.”

“I understand, my life is more precious than anything else, how would I allow myself to die here for nothing …… Since he’s here, it just so happens that it’s up to me to meet this famous Cangfeng number one!”

“Little Chan, let’s go!”

The Snow Phoenix Beast picked up Yun Che, and with a long cry, flew in a straight line towards the direction where Ling Tianwei was. And the moment the Snow Phoenix Beast took off into the air, an aura as heavy as a mountain was also firmly locked onto Yun Che’s body.

“What? That person is …… Ling Tianyi? The legendary Sword Saint?”

This was the Imperial City after all, and among the older generation, there were quite a few people who had seen the Sword Saint’s elegance back then. Thus, when Ling Tian Reverse appeared in the sky above the Imperial City, some of the older people shouted out his name with shocked and incomparable voices.

“Sword …… Sword Saint? That legendary Sword Saint? My goodness! I’ve actually seen this Cang Feng myth with my own eyes!”

“No wonder it’s surprising that Ling Lan wants to kill Yun Che …… Besides the Sword Saint, who has such strength and vigor.”

“Yun Che is in trouble now, even if he’s even more perverted, there’s no way he’s a match for the Sword Saint. If Yun Che is smart enough, he should hide immediately.”

“I’ve heard that the Sword Saint hasn’t asked about the world for twenty years, and this time, the Burning Sky’s extermination of the door and the shocking of the Cang Wind has even startled him.”

“I heard that the Sword Saint’s temperament is as straight as a sword, as cynical as an enemy, and back then, he also had a very deep friendship with Burning Sky Too Sect Master Burning Yijie, and it’s actually not surprising at all that he would personally show up when Yun Che wiped out Burning Sky Sect this time around.”

In the sky three miles in front of the Imperial Palace, a black shadow floated there, his black robe hunting under the blistering wind. Below him, the crowd was gathering denser and denser, and the murmurs were even more overwhelming, as an unrelenting number of people quickly surged towards this place, looking up to the legendary Sword Saint.

And at this time, a long sound came from the place of the palace, and soon, a sweeping white shadow approached like lightning, stopping in front of the black-robed man, looking at him opposite.

“Ah? It’s …… Yun Che!”

“He’s actually really right in the middle of the Imperial City …… and has even appeared!”

“Although his strength is perverted enough to make the Burning Sky Sect extinguish its doors, it’s impossible for him to be a match for the Sword Sage …… The Sword Sage is clearly trying to kill him, and he actually dares to show up!”

“This is going to be a good show.”

Ling Tian Reverse looked about forty years old, although he was the father of Ling Yue Feng of the Heavenly Sword Villa, he looked instead a bit younger than Ling Yue Feng, and his looks were six points similar to Ling Yue Feng, but the sword qi that naturally swirled around his body was several times sharper than Ling Yue Feng.

The moment Ling Tianhou’s gaze turned towards Yun Che …… just by looking at him, he instantly gave Yun Che a terrifying feeling of being stabbed by several sword qi on his body.

“You are Yun Che?” Ling Tian Reverse slowly spoke out, his voice as flat as water.

“Late generation Yun Che, I pay my respects to Senior Ling. To be able to meet with the legendary Sword Saint, senior Yun Che has the honor of three lifetimes.” Yun Che said in a gentle and courteous manner.

“At such a young age, and with a Xuan power that is only at the seventh level of Earth Xuan, yet you can make the Burning Sky Sect overthrow, this kind of achievement is far inferior to what I was able to achieve when I was young.” Ling Tianhong indifferently sighed in admiration, to make the Sword Saint personally say the words “far inferior”, Yun Che was definitely the first. However, after the admiration, there was an icy killing chance: “With your talent, you could have proudly looked up to Cangfeng, achieved a generation of masters, and reached the heights that even my Heavenly Sword Villa can only look up to, and if you were to represent Cangfeng in the future to participate in the Heavenly Xuan Seven Kingdoms Ranking Battle, it is possible that you could change Cangfeng’s disgrace of a thousand years of being at the bottom of the rankings and obtain supreme glory. But your heart is so vicious! Because of a personal grudge, you went so far as to slaughter 73,600 members of the Burning Sky Sect! Such behavior is heinous!”

Yun Che, however, smiled faintly and said, “Elder’s words are overstated. Although I can’t be considered a good person, I definitely don’t dare to call myself an ‘outlaw’, and although I kill a lot of people, I never go out and kill anyone for no reason. I exterminated the Burning Sky Sect because they touched my bottom line, and they were the ones to blame. I just happen to also be able to use this to tell everyone what will happen if they move my loved ones …… However, this matter is a grudge between and my Burning Sky Sect, and what does it have to do with you?”

“Hmph, Burning Heaven Sect tragedy people and God are all angry, you such evil evil animal, should be condemned by heaven, everyone gets to be put to death! I’m killing you for the sake of heaven!”

“Doing the right thing for heaven? Hahahahaha!” Yun Che laughed out loud, his voice turning cold: “The time I’ve been in contact with the Burning Heaven Sect hasn’t been too long, but I deeply feel that the Burning Heaven Sect’s people’s behavior is as lowly and despicable as it can get. The number of ugly things that this kind of sect has done in these thousand years is bound to be countless, and the number of people who have been oppressed by their power, and even those who have been killed by them either directly or indirectly, will be far more than seventy-three thousand six hundred mouths! Where were you at that time? Why didn’t you come out to do justice to Heaven!”

Ling Tian Reverse was suddenly speechless.

“I heard, the heavenly sword manor and the pale wind royal family has a very deep origin, your heavenly sword manor’s ancestor, and the pale wind royal family’s ancestor the emperor back then is the life and death of the brothers, at first respectively founded the heavenly sword manor and the pale wind royal family, had sworn the era of interdependent each other, support each other, but, the heavenly sword manor is increasingly prosperous, and find the heavenly mighty sword domain as a backing, the pale wind royal family is getting weaker and weaker, to the Today, it is even more crisis, and even by the Xiao Sect and Burning Sky Sect to take advantage of the situation, even the Cangfeng Emperor was assassinated. To your Heavenly Sword Villa’s power, it is impossible not to know the crisis of Cangfeng royal family, but during this period, why did not see half a point from your Heavenly Sword Villa’s help! You so-called to act on behalf of heaven, why but this most basic moral righteousness are completely set aside! On the contrary, it was me who saved Emperor Cangfeng’s life, if it wasn’t for me, Emperor Cangfeng would have died by now, after you die, I’ll see how you can face your ancestors!”

Yun Che pointed his finger at Ling Tianwei and crossed his eyebrows, “The ‘acting on behalf of the heavens’ in your mouth is a joke to my ears! You have no qualifications to condemn me at all! If it wasn’t for the fact that you were carrying the name ‘Sword Saint’, I wouldn’t even be interested in looking at you today! Instead, …… I annihilated the entirety of the Burning Sky Sect, not just to vent my hatred, but to truly do the right thing for Heaven!!!”

Ling Tianwei had come to ask for punishment, and in the face of Yun Che, who had massacred the Burning Sky Sect and committed a shocking blood debt, he had originally stood on the side of morality and justice, and thus had not been afraid to make it public in front of people, and had even intended to sanction Yun Che in front of the crowd. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Yun Che before the eyes of the public, and every sentence hit the key points, pointing straight to the dead center, making Ling Tianhui unable to say anything to counterattack. Ling Tianwei, who had come here to “act on behalf of the heavens”, had been rebuffed by Yun Che in a few words into a heartless and unrighteous generation, and under the list of reasons, the crowd below could not help but feel a sense of recognition.

Especially for those Xuan Masters who were often bullied by powerful sects, but dared not speak out in anger, some of Yun Che’s words were even more direct to their hearts. Those who had been bullied by the Burning Heaven Sect, or the Burning Heaven Outer Sect, even clenched their hands, their hearts surging, and their admiration for the Sword Saint faded a few points.

Ling Tian Reverse let out a long sigh, ”Not only is your natural talent amazing, your strength astounding, but you are also so eloquent. But even though your tongue is so eloquent, it cannot cover up the monstrous blood debt you have committed, for the sake of the 70,000 souls that died under you, today, I will sanction you under the sword. Ten thousand reasons, and don’t try to escape death.”

“Heh!” Yun Che laughed coldly, “You think that I wasted my words just now to say so much to you because I wanted you to let me off the hook? You thought too much, with you, you are not qualified to make me afraid, much less kill me.”

Facing someone who wanted to kill himself, Yun Che naturally would no longer have any false politeness, as he flung his arm, the nine-foot Dragon Que appeared in his hand, and swung with a whistling dragon’s roar, “Today, I will meet you, this Sword Saint, and let me see if your ‘Dao’ has the qualifications to shake my ‘Dao’! ‘Dao’!”

Yun Che leapt down from the Snow Phoenix Beast’s back, his Burning Heart was turned on, his body’s aura steeply surged, and the Dragon Que drew pitch-black trajectories in mid-air, bringing with it a might that caused the winds and clouds to shake as it blasted towards Ling Tian Rui.

Ling Tianwei slowly raised his eyes, and in his hands, a green colored longsword silently appeared, the body of the sword had no light, no zephyr, and the sharpness could not even be seen, but it was held in the hands of the Sword Sage, and it even released a kind of mighty ling that made it impossible to look at it directly.

Facing Yun Che’s strike that contained berserk power, Ling Tian Reverse’s figure did not move and did not have any intention of avoiding its sharpness, but instead, he faced the Dragon Que and slowly stabbed out a sword.

That’s right, it was a slow stab, no matter if it was Yun Che, or anyone below, even if it was just a Xuan Master of the Xuan Realm, they all clearly saw the trajectory of the sword’s body, but, obviously, such a slow stab was like crossing space, even crossing time, half a breath ago it was still thirty feet away, and half a breath later, it was even so slow… …stabbed to Yun Che’s chest.

An extremely dangerous aura suddenly attacked him, and in front of his body, unguarded, a landslide-like majestic wave of air suddenly appeared, and an intense and sharp pain sensation also came from his chest area, Yun Che’s heart was abruptly startled, and without thinking, an Astral God Shattering Shadow suddenly flickered away, and then quickly tumbled down.

By the time he landed, blood was already flowing from his chest, and two half-foot long sword marks were deeply etched on it …… and Yun Che didn’t even know how he was stabbed by his sword.
