Chapter 2206 Unreasonable Woman
Chapter 2206: Unreasonable Woman Chapter 2206: Unreasonable Woman Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “You killed Lin Xianyong,” Lin Yaqin stated coldly as she gazed at Ye Chen. Her voice, already unusually frigid, was now ten times colder than usual. Zhao Yunhua understood that Lin Yaqin was prepared to kill. Ye Chen nodded. “He wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to kill him. There was no other option.” “Yes,” Lin Yaqin agreed. “You did nothing wrong.” Ye Chen was taken aback. What did Lin Yaqin mean? Was she truly going to let him go? A wave of joy washed over Ye Chen. He recognized that he could not compete with this woman at his level, so naturally, he did not wish to engage her in combat. Although Ye Chen was not afraid of death, he had no desire to seek it out. However, moments later, Lin Yaqin’s expression turned completely icy, as if she possessed the power to freeze the world. She spoke to Ye Chen, enunciating each word clearly. “However, Lin Xianyong is a member of the Shenxuan Sect, and I am the sect’s Saintess. Since you killed him in front of me, you must die!” Her tone was tyrannical. Since she began her cultivation, she had only held one thought in her mind, which was to eliminate anyone who obstructed her path or opposed her beliefs. This was a form of madness that resonated deeply within her bones. As soon as she concluded her statement, her monstrous killing intent surged forth. Ye Chen was astonished. This killing intent was terrifying! Ye Chen’s own killing intent was already an ultimate form that possessed its own aura. An ordinary person’s killing intent would not affect him at all, but Lin Yaqin’s killing intent had managed to do so. This could only imply that Lin Yaqin also practiced the Dao of Slaughter! “Damn it!” Ye Chen realized that Lin Yaqin’s killing intent was genuinely aimed at him and that she was not bluffing. At the same time, he realized how insane she was. Did she truly not care about the mark? The mark was given by officials of the Divine Kingdom and symbolized the dignity of those officials. Even if Lin Yaqin was the Saintess of the Shenxuan Sect, if the Divine Kingdom’s envoys discovered her transgression, she would not have a favorable outcome. The Shenxuan Sect would be unable to shield her. One could only imagine the extent of the risk she was taking, yet despite this, Lin Yaqin still sought to kill him? Was it merely for her beliefs, for the sake of following her heart, that she completely disregarded the consequences? If he were to provoke this madwoman, he would undoubtedly find himself in grave danger. Furthermore, this madwoman was even stronger than he was! Ye Chen did not hesitate for a moment. He used his Soul Sword at Lin Yaqin. Simultaneously, his body flickered, and a tempest erupted. He activated the Thundering Flash and raced toward the entrance of the ruins behind him. Boom! Simultaneously, a chilling, white sword beam, radiating a frosty aura, flashed toward Ye Chen. Lin Yaqin’s eyes had momentarily glazed over when she unleashed the sword beam, causing her attack to be slightly delayed. Ye Chen, who had been marginally slower, activated Thundering Flash and exerted all of his strength to pivot his body as it whizzed past him and collided forcefully against the door of the ruins. Although the door remained undamaged, it still trembled. Ye Chen gulped, and his eyes widened in shock. Lin Yaqin’s seemingly casual attack was more than ten times, or perhaps even a hundred times, stronger than Lin Xianyong’s ultimate strike. How frightening! If Ye Chen had been struck, he was certain he would not have fared well. It was at this moment that Ye Chen had already forced open the gate of the ruins and stepped inside. Meanwhile, Lin Yaqin stood frozen in place. Her delicate features, which even the gods would admire, reflected a mix of shame, anger, and boundless killing intent. She had actually failed? One attack had not eliminated a Star Aperture realm expert? Of course, she understood that Ye Chen had mastered a form of soul attack resembling a soul technique. However, she had not anticipated the fact that it would affect her. To Lin Yaqin, this was a profound humiliation. She had always been an extremely proud individual, striving for perfection. She moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of pure white light, pursuing Ye Chen. Ye Chen had evaded her sword beam. However, this only fueled her determination to win. She had to kill Ye Chen now because it was a matter of pride! With this brief delay, Ye Chen had already created a considerable distance. With the Cloud-wandering Wings, the Wind God Boots, and the astonishing Thundering Flash, his speed surpassed that of a Sealed Gate realm cultivator. Despite this, Ye Chen did not allow himself to relax, as he knew that it might not be sufficient to escape Lin Yaqin. Meanwhile, Lin Yaqin’s eyes flickered as she activated the Fleeting Light with all her might. She recognized that Ye Chen was employing an ancient movement technique, one that was not of ordinary origin. Still, from her perspective, it remained too slow. “This crazy woman!” Ye Chen gritted his teeth and glanced back. He could already faintly see Lin Yaqin’s figure, and cursed. “Master, what shall we do now?” Ye Chen inquired in his mind. Feng Qingyang contemplated for a moment and appeared quite helpless as he replied, “Since this woman has disregarded the mark, it seems she will not relent easily. Now, we can only fight to the death and be reborn after that.” Ye Chen was perplexed. What did that mean? “You must run toward the southeast. I can sense an extremely dangerous aura there,” Feng Qingyang advised. “If I am not mistaken, there should be something that can pose a threat even to her. Although it is highly dangerous for you to venture there, it might compel this madwoman to retreat.” Ye Chen’s eyes sparkled with determination. He shouted in a low voice, “Let us go all out!” Immediately, he lowered his body and dashed into the forest, heading southeast at breakneck speed. The reason he entered the forest was to leverage the complicated terrain to make it more challenging for Lin Yaqin to catch up with him. However, just as Ye Chen landed in the forest, an enormous icy-white sword beam descended. The sword ray exuded a shocking aura, but was remarkably restrained. Ye Chen only noticed it when it was dangerously close behind him. Its speed was astonishing, even faster than the Thundering Flash. Moreover, its power could only be described as unparalleled. Before it struck, the trees in the forest, which appeared far sturdier than ordinary spirit trees, shattered under the pressure of the sword beam’s aura. “F*ck!” Ye Chen cursed. With a flick of his wrist, he seized the Rotten Beast Sword and channeled his spiritual energy to its maximum. He roared at the heavens as he activated the Red Dust Divine Bloodline. His spiritual energy was rapidly depleting! Ye Chen had employed all of his methods and was prepared to risk his life. Then, he swung his sword, clashing against the white sword beam. An extremely cold, brilliantly bright, thunder-like sword beam met the white sword beam. This was not the end. Following the strike, a Qilin phantom materialized around Ye Chen. Simultaneously, the protective divine artifact, the Earth Dragon Armor, bestowed upon him by the Nine Remoteness Emperor, activated fully. A phantom of an Earth Dragon, adorned with strange crystals, enveloped Ye Chen alongside the Qilin phantom, protecting him. Moments later, an earth-shattering explosion occurred. The shockwave from the collision of the sword beams erupted, resembling a star igniting before them. Powerful energy waves surged through the surroundings, reducing the nearby trees and rocks to nothingness. The ground was charred black. It was as if the apocalypse had arrived! Under such an attack, one would assume that survival was impossible, right? However, Lin Yaqin, hovering high in the sky, frowned as she cast her gaze toward the ground. She did not find Ye Chen’s body or any trace of him.
