Chapter 2233: Ling Yun (Part 1) Chapter 2233: Ling Yun (Part 1) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation They knew very well that he would not die at their hands. However, he was not in a better state than before. His injuries were extremely severe. If Ling Yun decided to attack, Ye Chen would stand no chance against her. After all, how could a seriously injured Star Aperture realm expert possibly contend with a late-stage Sealed Gate realm expert. In the air, a figure clad in black robes stood tall and imposing. Her face radiated coldness and arrogance. Her disdainful eyes looked at Ye Chen with indifference. She looked down at him, as if he were merely an ant. Behind her stood three figures. An incredibly terrifying and cold aura emanated from Ling Yun. She had relentlessly humiliated Ye Chen and had taken Ji Siqing and Xia Ruoxue from in.0 The other two beautiful figures remaining were indeed Ji Siqing and Xia Ruoxue. Xia Ruoxue opened her mouth slightly, intending to speak. However, she soon realized that an invisible force had locked onto her. She could neither speak nor take a step closer to Ye Chen. Ji Siqing’s expression was solemn yet indifferent. In this moment, her heart wavered. After all, Ye Chen was now in an utterly sorry state. Despite this, she chose to trust Ye Chen. Remaining calm and composed was the best way to offer Ye Chen peace of mind, and she knew that. Pa! Pa! Pa! “Ye Chen, it is a pleasure to see you again,” Xia Lingqiu said while clapping. “It seems that I have underestimated you.” “Now that you have reached the Star Aperture realm, you are truly capable of defeating the Heaven and Earth Elders of the Hall of Souls. It is unbelievable.” “If you continue to develop, perhaps even I will come to fear you.” “Interesting, truly interesting.” “However, are you certain that you wish to continue with this one-year agreement?” “How much longer can you endure?” “My Spirit ImmortalPalace does not wish to gain a bad reputation for bullying the weak.” “No, I appear to be overthinking things. How can a dead man spread news?” At this point, Xia Lingqiu looked at Ling Yun, whose gaze was cold, and instructed her, “In terms of strength, I have already assisted you in reaching the late-stage of the Sealed Gate realm.” “If a late-stage Sealed Gate realm loses to a severely injured Star Aperture realm expert, you should be aware of the consequences.” “This time, you must win.” “My dear sister, do not worry.” Ling Yun stepped forward with a sneer. After saying this, she advanced toward Ye Chen. Xia Lingqiu was momentarily taken aback. She did not expect Ling Yun to reveal their relationship at this moment. “From today onward, you must sever all thoughts of reuniting this kid,” she commanded Ji Siqing and Xia Ruoxue. “Focus on your cultivation.” “On the path of martial arts, one must sever the seven emotions and six desires!” “Only then can one step onto the supreme path of cultivation!” Up in the sky, two figures stood opposed to one another. A cold aura spread out. This was the agreed upon day! “Ling Yun, I thought you were planning to hide in the palace forever.” Ye Chen spoke softly. He could feel Ling Yun’s aura, which was unfathomable, like an endless ocean. Despite this, there was no fear upon his face. He understood Ling Yun’s strength clearly. He was prepared to fight to the death. No matter what, he had to defeat Ling Yun. This was a matter of a man’s dignity! “I did not expect an ant like you to reach this point.” There was a hint of surprise in Ling Yun’s words, but there was still disdain in her voice. So what if he could defeat the Heaven and Earth Elders? Had she not lacked some enlightenment, she might have reached the peak of the Sealed Gate realm. After reaching the Sealed Gate realm, the difference of even a minor realm was vastly significant. At this moment, Ye Chen was severely injured. There was an undeniable gap between her and Ye Chen. No secret technique could bridge this gap. Ye Chen chose not to respond. He had seen Ling Yun’s cruel demeanor more than once or twice. This time, he aimed to utterly crush Ling Yun’s pride. Whoosh! Ling Yun tossed a pill toward Ye Chen. He caught it in his hand and examined it. “This is the Spirit Spring Pill. It can heal all your injuries. Since you wish to fulfill the one-year agreement, I shall grant your wish.” “Xia Lingqiu’s despicable methods are beneath me.” “I seek to crush you openly!” “I have completely made you feel despair, and you will come to understand what true strength is!” Ling Yun’s words felt like a gift being offered to Ye Chen. “Haha!” Ye Chen crushed the pill with one hand. Seeing this scene, Ling Yun was filled with rage, her chest heaving with anger. She never expected Ye Chen to be so arrogant and foolish. “Arrogant!” Endless sound waves reverberated, and the world appeared to change color. At that moment, Ling Yun seemed to embody the ruler of this domain. She trained in the Spirit Immortal Palace and understood her surroundings intimately. Ye Chen spat a mouthful of blood and was sent reeling backward. When the disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace saw this scene, their eyes narrowed. “Vice Palace Master is powerful!” Deafening sounds echoed. The moment Ling Yun appeared, they finally glimpsed the hope of Ye Chen’s demise. Ye Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered. Her cultivation level was indeed formidable, but what of it? What was there to fear? Cultivators did not shy away from battle! Ye Chen gripped the Rotten Beast Sword tightly and aimed it at Ling Yun. When Ling Yun observed this scene, she felt an overwhelming urge to explode with anger. Should not Ye Chen kneel and beg for her forgiveness? He dared to point his sword at her, which was akin to mocking her authority. “I yearn for a battle!” Ye Chen muttered to himself. He felt his aura elevate. A cultivator Had to have a heart that was unafraid of anything. Only then could they overcome every obstacle and ascend to the pinnacle of cultivation. Clang! Clang! Clang! The swords behind Ye Chen surged toward Ling Yun in unison. “You are courting death!” Ling Yun did not anticipate that Ye Chen would make the first move. He was courting his own demise. She extended a finger, and a faint aura burst forth as she suddenly dashed toward him. Boom! Sharp swords rained down from the sky. The disciples of the Spirit Immortal Palace felt their hearts ache at the sight. These sharp swords belonged to them. Now that they lay shattered, their hearts bled. A red beam of light shot toward Ye Chen like a hot knife through butter. It moved so swiftly that even Ye Chen could not detect it with his spiritual sense. Bang! In that instant, Ye Chen could only use the Rotten Beast Sword in his hand to defend. Moments later, Ye Chen was propelled like a cannonball, his entire body flying backward. Boom! Blood instantly soaked Ye Chen’s arm! “Sword Dao! Break the Heavens! Exterminate the Heavens! You scorn the heavens!” Ye Chen steadied himself and roared. His sword essence surged like a mighty dragon that suddenly erupted. This sword possessed the power to slice through the heavens. Even a middle-stage Sealed Gate realme expert would fear it. However, Ling Yun’s expression remained unchanged.
