Chapter 940: If I Can’t Vent My Frustration, I Will Feel Distressed
Under the lead of Xia Dongyang and Xiao Qinghan, the experts of the Heavenly Music Sect and the Frost Moon Palace quickly followed Di Wuque.
The other cultivators, who came after hearing the news, discussed for a while. A significant number of them could not contain their curiosity and followed as well.
A duel between the Azure Emperor’s descendant and Di Wuque was not something that could be chanced upon at any moment. Furthermore, they knew that gaining the real treasures of the Immortal sect Remnant was impossible for them.
Xiao Chen, who arrived outside the heavenly palace after just one step, did not stop moving. He controlled the Freedom Wings and used So Close Yet Worlds Apart three times in rapid succession before stopping to catch his breath, having drained his Magic Energy.
Without saying anything, he swallowed a Medicinal Pill and sat down cross-legged. He circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation and quickly replenished his energy.
Ye Chen’s injuries were even more severe. The nine sword wounds in his chest were very eye-catching, like a series of air vents. How he offended Di Wuque remained unknown.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Chen had recovered thirty percent of his Magic Energy. He opened his eyes and stopped wasting time. They were not truly safe yet.
Ye Chen had already changed his clothes, and his complexion looked much better. However, full recovery would take a while.
“Do you still have Sage Grade Medicinal Pills for treating injuries?” Xiao Chen asked.
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “Many thanks for Brother Xiao’s concern. However, Sage Grade Medicinal Pills for treating injuries are no longer effective on me.”
“About that…you are overthinking. My physical injuries were only eighty percent healed, and I fought again. When I asked, it was for my own use.”
Ye Chen stared at him somewhat blankly. Then, he smiled. “I don’t have them anymore. I already used all nine Sage Grade Medicinal Pills. Thank you for those. If not for your Medicinal Pills giving me nine chances to make my move, I would not have been able to repay that palm strike.”
When Xiao Chen heard that, he was aghast. “You are really relentless. For the sake of one palm strike, you ended up like this?”
Ye Chen recovered his usual expression, revealing his sharpness. “This is natural. When I moved around the Northern Sea, it was always me sneak-attacking others—never the other way around. Furthermore, it was a woman who did it. If I can’t vent my frustration, I will feel distressed.”
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a hole opened in the ground. Ye Chen’s right hand immediately gripped his saber’s hilt. However, Xiao Chen calmly stopped him.
Lord Jiu’s sneaky head popped up from the ground. He chuckled and said, “Now, your heart should be feeling very clear; even the wind can enter and exit.”
[TL Note: The Chinese word for distressed can also mean not clear or not smooth. Lord Jiu is using the other meaning of the word as a pun.]
Ye Chen found Lord Jiu’s presence very strange. Unexpectedly, this unremarkable mouse managed to keep up with Xiao Chen’s incredible speed.
Xiao Chen was not surprised at all. Lord Jiu’s ability to dig was positively extraordinary, comparable to a Magic Skill for traveling through the ground.
As long as Lord Jiu had earth under him and he remembered Xiao Chen’s smell, it was not strange that he caught up.
“Tell this Lord Jiu quickly how you offended Di Wuque, agitating him that much,” Lord Jiu prompted hurriedly with a smile and a twinkle in his beady eyes after he came out of the ground.
Curiosity also gleamed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He really wanted to know how Ye Chen offended Di Wuque as well. He knew that Di Wuque’s mental state was not weaker than his own.
Why would Di Wuque kill the Frost Moon Palace disciple who leaped out, with one glare, because of Ye Chen? Di Wuque was truly angered.
Ye Chen appeared extremely innocent as he said, “How would I know? His bitch sent a palm strike at me. Naturally, I had to return it, so I smashed a heavy palm strike at his bitch’s chest.”
Ye Chen’s explanation left Lord Jie and Xiao Chen speechless for a long time, particularly when they saw his innocent look. All the more they did not know what to say.
“What’s wrong? She struck me with a palm strike to my chest, so I struck her with a palm strike to her chest. Isn’t that very normal?” As Ye Chen looked at the two, his expression became even more innocent.
Lord Jiu laughed wretchedly a few times before he asked, “How was it? What did the palm strike to the Divine Daughter’s chest feel like?”
Ye Chen raised his head as he tried to recall. After thinking for some time, he answered honestly, “Very big, very soft, felt very good.”
Xiao Chen simply could not endure any longer. He guffawed, “The world says that I, Xiao Chen, am very bold, daring to anger even Di Wuque. However, they do not know that you are the truly bold one. ‘Very big, very soft, felt very good.’ Hahahaha! I’m going to laugh myself to death!
“You touched the Divine Daughter’s chest and still put on an innocent face. Only you can do it! I, Xiao Chen, very rarely admire others. Today, there is one more person, you—Ye Chen!”
Lord Jiu laughed until he collapsed on the ground. He could not stop repeating the words, “Very big, very soft, felt very good.” This reaction left Ye Chen totally at sea, unable to understand at all what was going on with the two.
“It is very funny?!”
Just at this moment, the group heard the sound of gnashing teeth. The three turned their heads and saw Di Wuque standing right behind them with a dark and cold expression.
“Was that funny?”
From Lord Jiu and Xiao Chen’s perspective, someone with such a one-track mind like Ye Chen had touched the aloof Divine Daughter’s chest. Furthermore, he had done so right in front of Di Wuque.
Naturally, they found this funny. However, it was not that funny to Di Wuque.
The Divine Son and Divine Daughter of the Deity Race would definitely become the Divine Sovereign and Divine Queen in the future. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Di Wuque suffered extraordinary shame and humiliation from his fiancée’s dishonor.
Compared to this, Xiao Chen kicking Di Wuque off the Sage Mark Monument was nothing.
Based on Di Wuque’s expression, he must have been here for some time already. He must have heard Ye Chen’s words of “Very big, very soft, felt very good.”
Xiao Chen could understand how angry and conflicted this famous outstanding talent must have felt.
When Lord Jiu saw Di Wuque with his dark expression, he was startled half to death. He quickly explained, “That’s not funny! That’s not funny! It is not funny at all. What big, soft, and felt good? This Lord Jiu did not hear it. For every grievance, someone is responsible; for every debt, there is a debtor. Divine Son, please don’t look for the wrong person in this.”
[TL Note: For every grievance, someone is responsible; for every debt, there is a debtor: This means that when settling disputes, one should not involve third parties.]
Divine light blazed in Di Wuque’s eyes like fire and spewed out towards Lord Jiu.
“Damn, this Lord Jiu already said that it has nothing to do with me, although this Lord Jiu really wants to go and touch as well.” Lord Jiu cursed and leaped up before diving into the ground. He dodged the beam of divine light, fleeing somewhere.
“Go!”
Xiao Chen unfurled the Freedom Wings, then picked up Ye Chen and quickly left.
Di Wuque’s strength was unfathomable. Furthermore, he had a group of outstanding talents at his side. At this moment, it was not a good time for Xiao Chen to fight him.
Right now, Xiao Chen had recovered only thirty percent of his Magic Energy. He dared not use So Close Yet Worlds Apart; he just relied on the speed bonus of the Freedom Wings and flew off like the wind.
“Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint!”
Di Wuque moved his hands, and the golden halo behind him coalesced into the form of a Divine Sovereign. As he flashed hand seals, the image of the Divine Sovereign mirrored his movements.
Di Wuque’s vast Mental Energy burned, and the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign behind him emitted a bright light. Its figure quickly swelled. In the blink of an eye, it soared beyond the clouds, growing into a horrifying giant.
The First Heaven…Second Heaven…Third Heaven…Fourth Heaven…all the way to the Ninth Heaven appeared behind the Divine Sovereign.
Every layer of heaven was a great realm, a true great realm, just like the Sky Dome Realm, which Xiao Chen came from. The only difference was that these were the great realms ruled by the Deity Race.
In the nine Heavens, the followers of the Deity Race all felt the call of the Divine Sovereign. They closed their eyes and prayed very sincerely, contributing their energies.
Boundless Divine Might spread out. Xiao Chen turned his head back and saw that the eyes of that Divine Sovereign were as large as stars. Even though he already fled fifty kilometers, he was still within range of that Divine Sovereign’s palm strike.
“Eliminate!” Di Wuque shouted expressionlessly.
The World Eliminating Imprint sent out by the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign pressed towards Xiao Chen, traveling fifty kilometers quickly.
A vast aura of ruin spread out. The might of this palm imprint seemed like it could really destroy a world. Even before the palm imprint landed, the ground cracked in a spiderweb pattern.
Such a strong Deity Race Martial Technique stunned the many older-generation cultivators flying over from the heavenly palaces.
“Every single Divine Sovereign of the Deity Race had their own title and would pass down a Martial Technique to be inherited. All of those were Martial Techniques that surpassed Heaven Ranked.”
“Back then, the one to contend with the Azure Emperor for the Kunlun Realm seems to be this Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign.”
“That Divine Sovereign was also a powerful character, equal to the Sea Monarch. Unfortunately, he ran into the Azure Emperor. That was a great misfortune for him.”
“However, the difference between Di Wuque and the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign is too big. The Deity Race ruled nine hundred lower realms. With one thought, the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign could bring out nine hundred Heavens. He could shatter a star with one palm imprint.”
“Don’t say that. Di Wuque is still young. Being able to bring out nine Heavens is sufficient to sweep through his generation.”
“That’s true. Given this, it looks like he held back with his earlier Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword. Xiao Chen’s accumulations are insufficient. He is still far from comparable to Di Wuque. How unfortunate!”
The cultivators who came were all at least peak Superior Grade Martial Sages. Many were grandmaster-level Martial Sages. Some of the older-generation Martial Sages were very experienced. With one look, they could make out the origins of Di Wuque’s Martial Technique.
Ye Chen sighed softly and said, “My Dao of the killing saber also works to destroy the world. If I was at my peak, I would really love to give this move a try.”
Even in a crisis, Ye Chen was remarkably accepting of his situation, not showing any fear of death at all.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Freedom Wings and looked at the descending Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint. Ye Chen’s words moved him, and pride stirred within him. He laughed and said, “World Eliminating, let’s see how you’re going to eliminate the world!”
Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness churned as his Magic Energy burned. Then, he executed Dragon Tone Art, the Dragon’s Gate’s secret technique that countered the Deity Race.
The Azure Dragon image swam around in Xiao Chen’s chest. A surging dragon tone spread out irrepressibly through Xiao Chen’s body. As the Azure Dragon roared, a strong wind blew.
Under the prompting of the Dragon Tone Art, the formless Dragon Qi moved about above Xiao Chen’s head and formed a huge indistinct dragon head.
The body of the dragon lay concealed behind fifty kilometers of clouds. As Xiao Chen’s Magic Energy burned, the dragon head became clearer.
Seen from a distance, it looked like an ancient King Azure Dragon tearing space and peeking its head out.
Xiao Chen could no longer suppress the energy in his chest. He raised his head and roared ferociously with anger.
