Chapter: 101

Despite all his efforts, Yun Che had a hard time hiding his pained expression.

'I cannot... This turned out to be more painful to perform than I had thought. Anymore, and my face might really end up inward with all this cringe!'

He took a deep breath to calm down before smiling towards Yufeng. With a determined expression, he looked at Canghai and challenged.

"Come, I will take you."

Either way, he wanted to test his resistances, and Canghai, the peak of this world, was a perfect person to do it.

The space suddenly shifted and constricted. Yun Che's eyes widened before he hurriedly cast multiple barriers around himself in less than a second.

"Crack..."

A crisp sound resounded as Canghai's claw, like a 1000-degree knife through butter, broke through all the casted barriers and reached Yun Che's chest in an instant.

"Boom..."

With a loud blast and the destruction of the area where Yun Che stood, his body flew in the air like a rag doll, spinning with intensity. Tens of miles of land were destroyed by it.

"Brother Yun!"

"Yun Che!"

Yufeng and Cang Yue both shouted simultaneously. Their chests tightened, and they felt their breathing hike.

"Princess, calm down!" Wushang hurriedly stopped Cang Yue from jumping to attack Canghai. Sword intent raged like an unstoppable force around her as she glared towards Canghai with murderous intent, causing him to cough and avert his gaze.

Despite the truth Cang Yue was informed by Yun Che, she still couldn't bear someone beating him so badly. This almost made her go for Canghai's life in a mad rush.

"Yun Che!" Yufeng flew towards the place where Yun Che was launched but stopped midway as, with a rumble, Yun Che appeared.

Such a destructive attack, and only his robes were damaged. Like an impenetrable mountain, there was not a single scratch on Yun Che's body.

'Hmmm. So I'm completely invincible on this planet, huh. Even the attack from a peak Sovereign did not do shit to me due to Physical Attack Resistance being at max. I guess the only way to test its limit would be to enter the Divine Realm, as only divinity could hurt Satou... from what I remember at least.'

"Yun Che! Are you alright?!"

"Um... I mean, ahhh! That hurts!" Remembering that he was supposed to act to make Yufeng indebted to him, Yun Che suddenly clenched his chest and cried loudly. His eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he looked at Yufeng, saying painfully, "B-but, do not worry... I-I will protect you..."

'Ahhh, now I really am feeling pain... at a spiritual level!'

"...You stupid! I told you... You do not have to do this! I am a married woman... You already had your way with me, do you really have to sacrifice yourself for me?"

Yufeng never believed that Yun Che loved her. At best, she treated it as him lusting after her body. The reason why she wanted to divorce Yuefeng was purely due to the fact that she came to hate him more than anyone this past month. And since she could benefit her kids by being by Yun Che's side, Yufeng simply chose him.

As such, him fighting for her with his life on the line, Yufeng did not understand.

Under current circumstances, wouldn't the best possible scenario be to run away? Why would he willingly put his life on the line to protect her?

"Silly girl... Did I not say it before? I have decided that you will be my woman. So even if I have to give up my life, I will never betray you."

In a sense, he wasn't lying. He may not love her, and he may be the biggest scum alive, but he still knew his responsibilities.

"Yun Che..." Yufeng suddenly felt her heart beating faster, and her chest instantly filled with warmth. She placed her hand over her chest and looked at Yun Che with a conflicted yet gentle gaze.

"Now stand back and let your man protect you."

Walking past her, he stood tall and looked at the flying Canghai before a smirk appeared on his face.

'I can finally end this, though let's see how far I can last against a peak Sovereign... though I doubt I would lose.'

"Don't die..."

Profound energy burst out of Yun Che's body in an unstoppable manner. Unlike other people, his profound energy gave a deep crimson glow, showing its berserk nature which originated from Heretic God's Veins.

He clasped his hands together, and the crimson energy abruptly turned into fire. All of it started to gather above his head before forming into huge nine lotuses.

The temperature rose instantly within tens of miles, causing everyone to stare at the gigantic lotuses with stunned and silly gazes.

This was the first time they were seeing Yun Che fight, and needless to say, they were scared out of their wits. Just the temperature alone from the lotuses was enough for them to retreat, let alone face them!

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! I would expect nothing less from you!" Canghai laughed loudly, pleased by the sight in front of him.

"World Illuminator Red Lotus!"

Yun Che's voice fell, and intense light was released from the lotuses, taking over the sight of everyone present. Silence descended onto the sword terrace before it was broken by the loud screech of a phoenix.

Everyone saw phoenixes jumping out from the gigantic lotuses as all of them flew towards Canghai at a breathtaking speed.

The air cried loudly as the phoenixes flew through it.

"Come!" Canghai shouted before condensed purple lightning burst out of his body, instantly destroying everything around him. His hair danced wildly as an electric arc appeared around him.

He loudly clapped, and everyone lost their hearing as a loud thunderclap followed after.

"Shit! Run!" Seeing the apocalyptic sight, people started to run for their lives. If they stayed there a minute longer, they would have been caught in the crossfire and died.

"Princess, let us stand at a distance too." Knowing full well that Cang Yue would not leave, Wushang persuaded her to stand at some distance, to which she did not deny, and replied with a small nod.

The sky had been taken over by dark clouds, fire, and thunder. Anyone seeing this scene would think it's the end of the world.

At both ends of the destruction, Yun Che and Canghai stood, silently staring at each other.

"Still not enough?" Yun Che pinched his chin before opening his hand, and a heavy sword appeared in it. He looked at Canghai, his eyes suddenly releasing a bluish hue. "It has been a while since I've used a heavy sword…"

{You finally decided to use it… This Princess thought you forgot you could use heavy swords too.}

{Hahaha…} Yun Che nervously chuckled, hearing Jasmine's dissatisfied tone, before replying. {Well, don't blame me… It's too destructive and hard to control. Even now, I'm sure a lot of people would be caught in the attack if gramps didn't fully stop it.}

{Humph! It is their fault for being weak. Right now, they should have been running away, seeing his attention is on you. But look at those fools, still standing and watching the fight like idiots. I feel like their death would contribute more to the world than them being alive.}

{Ouch… Well, at least those old fogies know when to run away. They didn't even stay to enjoy the spectacle I'm presenting right now.}

{Slightly intelligent, but you are not going to let them leave alive anyway.}

{Their bad luck then, I guess.}

"It has been a while since I've used a weapon, mainly because it's too destructive. Don't die, okay?"

"Bah! As if this old man would die from an attack from a brat! Bring it on! I still have enough energy to live for a thousand more years!"

"Oh well, I warned."

Shrugging, Yun Che raised the heavy sword in the sky and pointed its tip upward. Chaotic profound energy started to be released from his body once more, this time containing intense bloodlust.

The bloodlust was so intense that it seemed to tragically bend the space around him into a bloody scenery.

Canghai's expression abruptly changed after seeing this. Without wasting a second, he also released all of his profound energy to defend against the incoming slash. He could feel the threat to his life from it!

'I knew my grandson was absurd when he loosened the formation nonchalantly, but this is absurd! Just what did his mother eat before giving birth to him? God's meat?!'

Unaware of Canghai's thoughts, Yun Che took a deep breath as each word, filled with deep hatred and bloodlust, was released from his mouth.

"Heavenly Wolf Slash!"

As the sword fell, a huge silhouette of a blue wolf appeared, releasing a tyrannical aura. Following Yun Che's slashing motion, it flew towards Canghai, who hurriedly raised his defenses to the max and decided to take the attack head-on.

He didn't want to lose to his grandson, who wasn't even an Overlord yet!

Sound seemed to be stolen from the world as deep silence engulfed everything before it was broken by an equally loud explosion!

Heavenly Sword Villa existed between two mountains, and now an abysmal ravine appeared, disconnecting the two mountains for eternity!

Sword intent, bloodlust, murderous, and tyrannical aura rampaged freely in this ravine.

"See? Too destructive..."

{It was not supposed to be... at least at your level. Don't blame the technique for your monstrous talents.}

"So I'm to blame now, huh? Hm?" Hearing a crack, Yun Che looked at the dragon's fault in his hand and found out the blade had cracks on it, making him smile wryly. "And there goes my only weapon too..."

{Just make a new one. I'm sure with enough materials, you can make weapons that no one has ever seen in this world.}

"Nah. I already have my weapon; you just haven't seen it yet."

Confusion appeared on Jasmine's face as she inquired.

{What do you mean?}

"You will know soon. For now, it is time to act once again."

As his voice fell, the dust cloud where Canghai was finally dispersed, revealing a haggard old man. His whole body was riddled with shallow to deep wounds, completely covered in blood.

A cyan-colored light covered his whole body; it seemed to protect him. But even then, one could clearly see the signs of it falling apart, showing how destructive the last attack was.

"Cough cough... you little monster... did your parents eat some heavenly elixir before trying to conceive you? What kind of monstrous talent is this?"

"Even if you praise me, I won't feel anything. You need to be a beautiful woman if you want some kind of reaction out of me."

'... Your father wasn't like that for sure.'

"By the way, old man, can I ask you something? What is that cyan thingy around you?"

"Hm, this? Heh! What would you people know! This is the proud bloodline art of my Yun Clan! Anyone who possesses it must be from my Yun Clan!"

Suddenly, a frown appeared on Yun Che's face. He raised his hand before a golden-colored hand suddenly appeared behind him, startling Canghai and leaving him petrified in his place.

He knew his grandson was monstrous, but even he wasn't ready to see the golden profound handle make an appearance out of nowhere! He was too stunned to say anything anymore!

"Could it be... Is this the same art from your Yun Clan?"

"Y-you... you are from my Yun Clan!? But how is this possible!? How can a seed of my Yun Clan be in this continent!?"

"... As I thought... I really do belong to your Yun Clan." The moment Yun Che's voice fell, everyone who was listening had their breath stagnate suddenly. One Canghai was already enough for them to be in despair; if they added Yun Che, wouldn't they be done for?

The biggest problem was, they still had trust in the sacred grounds that they would be able to defeat and capture Canghai, but the same could not be said about Yun Che! They couldn't even see the bottom of his strength at this point!

Yufeng, Wushang, Yuanba, Ling Yun, and Ling Jie, all of them were also left speechlessly stunned. To think that the demon sealed within the Heavenly Sword Villa by the Sacred Ground was actually a relative of Yun Che! This... if this news became public, the Sacred Ground would never let either of them live freely!

This scared Wushang and Yufeng even more, both of whom understood the horror of the Sacred Ground better than anyone else.

Wushang looked at Cang Yue and saw that she didn't look surprised by the news. This made him frown and doubt himself. He wondered if Cang Yue was so innocent that she didn't understand what this meant or if she just didn't care and had so much trust in Yun Che.

Either way, he needed to inform His Excellency about this news as soon as possible!

"By any chance, do you know about this item?" Yun Che took out a mirror from his storage and showed it to Canghai, whose body suddenly trembled upon seeing it.

"H-how do you have the treasure of my Yun Clan!? Only the sect master is allowed to have it! Don't tell me... young man, can we do a blood test?"

"Alright, I do not mind. I have been looking for my parents for a long time now. Today, I have found the lead. I won't shy away from it."
