XY â That was a surprise! XD Made me opened my eyes widely in the early morning of Saturday! XD
That person laughed in a low tone, his voice was hoarse, not answering anything. He wielded the black sword and fiercely stabbed towards JiYuan. Ye Junchi frowned, and Gui Chi flew sideways to block that strike. Following that, Ye Junchi raised his head up and kicked out at the man. The black-robed person doesnât dare to accept it head-on so the person flipped his body backwards and went back to Jiang Xuesongâs side.
Jiang Xuesong whispered a few words to the black-robed person. His expression seemed to be in between a little fear and respect.
JiYuan didnât have the time to look, and was released onto the ground by Ye Junchi.
âThis person is a bit trickyâŚâ (T/N : to handle)
Ye Junchi strokes JiYuanâs hair, his gaze was a bit complex.
Gui Chi was unsheathed 3 inches from its sheath, and Ye Junchi conveniently brushed his own finger at the blade. His finger stained with blood, he quickly drew a magic circle beside JiYuan, then bundled JiYuan in it.
âYouâŚâ
JiYuan opened his mouth, not sure what to say.
Last time when Ye Junchi was facing some hundreds of cultivators, he still managed to carry him(JY) and calmly walked away from within the midst of the cultivators. This time he(YJC) wasnât that calm, and Jiang Xuesong seemed to mention something like Ye Junchiâs weakness.
âBe good and stay inside the magic circle, nobody would be able to hurt you.â
Ye Junchiâs finger slowly shifted to JiYuanâs cheek, and he smiled, âWhat is it? Are you scared?â
JiYuan was silent for a while, then reached out to hold Ye Junchiâs hand. Ignoring that his heart was thick with anxiety, he whispered, âIf you die today, I will leave.â
Ye Junchi was stunned, his intuition told him that JiYuanâs âwill leaveâ was not what he thought as leaving to somewhere else. His heart tightened, Ye Junchi bowed down his head and lightly kissed at JiYuanâs forehead, âThen unfortunately for you, donât even think you would be able to leave ever.â
When the black-robed person finished talking with Jiang Xuesong, he leisurely walked over with the black sword. The personâs voice was raspy, and his original voice was unable to be heard, âFinished exchanging last words?â
Ye Junchi caressed JiYuanâs hair, then turned around to look at the incoming person with a face full of frost, âWhy the need to hide yourself, and also hijacking a juniorâs body to come here?â
âIâm not like you.â
That person quickly activated a skill, and the black sword in hand shook. It spontaneously flew up and rushed towards Ye Junchi.
After a few months, Ye Junchi finally once again pulled out Gui Chi completely from its sheath. The pure and clear glow from body of the sword formed a sharp contrast against the black sword. When Gui Chi flew out, it looked like a moving glow of the moonlight. Two blades clashed against each other, issuing crisp âPing! Pang!â sounds. Up in the air, two spiritual swords were hitting each other while down on the ground, two people also started attacking each other.
Both peopleâs spiritual power exuded faint blood-red color, keep exploding upon collision, causing the earth on the ground to fly and scattered 3 meters away. The surrounding trees and flowers were completely ruined, sands and stones were flying around, and the sky turned darker.
That person laughed out loud, âTruly amusing, for a demon to be actually wielding a spiritual sword meant to eliminate evil.â
Ye Junchi sneered, his attacks were ruthlessly and mercilessly. His expression was indifferent, âIt came to my hand in order to eliminate beings like you.â
JiYuanâs heart jumped to his throat.
System comforted after observing the situation, âDonât worry, that black-robed person cannot beat Big bro. He has been contained by Big bro from the start.â
JiYuan : âThat is my Big bro, how can I not worry?â
System being forced-fed imaginary âdog foodâ uttered a curse sound, âScram.â
[T/N : For those who doesnât understand the meaning for dog food, please continue reading this. I found someone explaining the dog food in a funny way online () XD
Dog = Single dog(people)
Showing PDA in front of single dog(people) = Dog abuse
Abused dog could only silently eat its dog food = Being fed dog food]
Observing for a moment, JiYuan found out that the black-robed person was indeed hard pressed in the fight. Feeling relieved, he sat down cross-legged. After a moment of thoughts, he suddenly felt out of sorts.
If couldnât win, why bother coming out?
Just to say big empty words?
Jiang Xuesong and the person behind him were that bored and idle?
Right! Jiang Xuesong!
Ever since Ye Junchi started fighting with the black-robed person, JiYuan no longer pay attention to the other side where Jiang Xuesong and Zhao Buchen was at. Now that he thought of them, his heart suddenly thumped. Those two were not weak, if they cooperated to join the fight, they could give Ye Junchi some serious trouble. But it has been quite a while, they still havenât give a hand, why?
He abruptly turned towards the place where Jiang Xuesong and Zhao Buchen was standing earlier, just in time to see Jiang Zuesong fished out a small flag from his sleeve.
Seemed to feel JiYuanâs gaze on him, Jiang Xuesong lightly looked over. His gaze met with JiYuanâs for a moment, then he(JXS) smiled and mouthed a sentence.
âItâs time.â
JiYuan opened his eyes widely, his body instantly turned cold. Not caring if he OOC-ed or not, he shouted out in a loud voice, âYe Junchi! Leave this place!â
The two people who was fighting paused at the same time. Ye Junchi didnât look back, but the black-robed person moved instead. He pointed the black sword at JiYuan with provocation.
In a trance, JiYuan seemed to see a pattern of a small floating cloud at the hilt of the sword. It looked familiar but he couldnât remember where he saw it before at the moment.
Ye Junchi kicked away that black-robed person, and looked at JiYuan. Not waiting for him(JY) to say anything, his gaze fell onto the small flag in Jiang Xuesongâs hand.
It was a blood-red flag, and it seemed to be really dyed using blood; separated by such long distance between them but one could still smell a bloody scent that makes people nauseous. Ye Junchiâs pupil shrunk, he wanted to leave the area immediately but the person in black robe grabbed him tightly, exerting all efforts to keep him tightly in place.
Jiang Xuesong took the opportunity to wave the flag in his hand. Instantly, the sky turned turbulent; âwind blowing and clouds movingâ. The sky was originally dark, now quickly shrouded with numerous black clouds. Even the surroundings seemed like it were covered in the color of blood; a never-ending scene in one glance. Low whispers could be heard from all four corners of the area, as if restless souls were crying. Desolate, it makes one felt terrified.
JiYuan gnashed his teeth.
This black-robed person was actually here to buy time!
What is this? Magic array? What the Hell Jiang Xuesong was trying to do?!
Very soon, JiYuan gets to know what the Hell Jiang Xuesong was trying to do.
Ye Junchi whose movements were originally agile and sensitive, in a split second between the Heaven and earth, his body slowed down, resulting him to receive a direct palm strike from the black-robed person right into his stomach. Following that, he(YJC) was kicked and flung off miles away. Gui Chi at the sky has gradually became dim. Shaking for a moment, it fell onto the ground with a Bang!. The person in black robe flicked away the blood from his blood-stained hand, and laughed in a strange manner.
JiYuanâs breathing stopped for a moment. In his eyes, the scene where JiSi died in front of him in his previous lifetime suddenly flashed through. In order to block a few gunshots for him(JY), JiSi pushed him away and was hit straight-on by a car then flung far away by the impact. Ye Junchiâs fallen figure at this moment coincidentally matched with JiSi.
JiYuanâs heart abruptly became painful, and his body were trembling. He really wanted to disregard everything and rush forward but Ye Junchi slowly propped himself up to a sitting position, then threw a sideways stern glance at him. Pausing, JiYuan looked at Ye Junchi with a frown but Ye Junchi broke away from the eye contact. Not caring that his stomach was bleeding from a hole in it, he rubbed away the blood from his lips and lightly said, âSo you are using this method, it seems that you are not here to kill me.â
The black-robed person laughed with creepy sound, âNo, I am going to kill you. But you cannot die now. You are familiar with this array right? 13 years ago, you used this array to trap His GraceâŚ. humph, His Grace treating you generously and trained you with all his heart to become the next demon ruler, it was all in vain. An ingrate who bit the hands that feeds could only go that far.â
His face was pale white but Ye Junchi still calmly asked, âThe array has been modified?â
âNaturally.â
The black-robed person was not in a hurry, slowly explained, âThe Soul Lock array can suppress you and His Graceâs cultivated demonic power. But for not-human-not-demon things like you, upon entering the array, you wonât have even the slightest trace of spiritual power.â
âThis is the so-called fatal weakness you mentioned?â
Ye Junchi looked at Jiang Xuesong, a faint irony smile appeared on his(YJC) face.
Jiang Xuesong frowned, he was feeling uncomfortable from being stared by Ye Junchi.
At a side, Zhao Buchen was completely clueless, âWhat happened? Jiang Xuesong, you are using an array from the demon race? That person is also a demon? You actually colluded with the demons?!â
Jiang Xuesong shot an impatient cold glare at him, âShut up. If not for darenâs order, you would have been dead earlier on. This demon(YJC) right now doesnât have the slightest spiritual power, you can vent however you want. Just make sure he still have the last breath.â
Zhao Buchen frowned, but seeing his arch enemy fallen on the ground from the black-robed personâs kick, he disregard Jiang Xuesongâs malicious talk and quickly walked to Ye Junchiâs side with his blood boiling.
That black-robed person cooperated, cupping his fist and retreated with an expression waiting to watch good show.
âYe Junchi, your day has come.â
His face was showing a trace of grin, Zhao Buchen ruthlessly stepped onto Ye Junchiâs injured area, and heavily grounded his feet on it.
Ye Junchi frowned, his face became paler and the corner of his lips was overflowed by blood.
The corner of JiYuanâs eyes has already became red, his voice was trembling, âSystem⌠how is he?â
System checked for a moment, âHis ribs are broken, and there is a gaping hole at his abdomen.â
Seeing that Zhao Buchen wanted to continue, JiYuan finally couldnât stand it anymore and ran out from the magic circle Ye Junchi has drawn for him. He has yet to reach Ye Junchi, when that person with black robe leaped to stand in front of him, lightly asked, âWhere do this little brother want to go?â
From his chest came a burst of tear-like pain, JiYuan almost lose consciousness from the pain. Until he fell down onto the ground with a Thump, his consciousness slowly recovered. Struggling to breathe, he coughed out a mouthful of blood, â⌠the Hell, what happened?â
System explained with sympathy, âYou have been kicked and flown away from the impact. But that person with black robe spared some strength with that kick, otherwise you would have died from internal rupture.â
JiYuan raised his head to look at Zhao Buchen no far away from him. Zhao Buchen was laughing in madness, his(ZBC) eyes were scarlet red with anger and hatred. JiYuan doesnât dare to see how Ye Junchi fare right now. Closing his eyes to take a deep breath, he struggled to get up. Then, he found that Gui Chi was beside him.
That black-robed person⌠?
JiYuan was only stunned for a second, he raised Gui Chi and gathered the few remaining spiritual power inside him, chanting the spell that System has recently taught him.
After that person with black robe returned to Zhao Buchenâs side, his/her gaze has been paying attention to JiYuan. Didnât expect that a moment later, his/her figure would disappear from JiYuanâs line of sight, couldnât be found everywhere.
He turned to see Jiang Xuesong, a slight sound of wind sounded beside his ear. No time to think what happened, his sword has been stretched out was blocked behind the location of Zhao Buchenâs heart. Immediately, a friction sound between two weapons could be heart.
JiYuan suddenly appeared behind Zhao Buchen, his strike was fierce and ruthless, almost spending all of his spiritual power. Gui Chi slipped from the block by the black sword and stabbed at Zhao Buchenâs back.
[T/N : If the sequence of actions looked confusing, just note that JiYuan fell on the ground when Gui Chi fell down earlier. Then JY chanted something using all his remaining spiritual power. The spell lead JY to rush towards ZBC to stab him at the heart. But that black-robed person was quick too, because he has been paying attention to JY. The sound of wind was caused by the black sword zooming over to block the stab.]
Feeling painful, Zhao Buchen wanted to use his spiritual power to blast JiYuan away but his body abruptly turned numb and couldnât move.
JiYuan retrieved his sword without any expression. Not even looking at the black-robe person, he half-knelt on the ground, and carefully gathered Ye Junchi in his arms. Then he coldly said, âI have coated the sword with highly toxic poison. If not given antidote within 1 incense time (around 15 mins), Zhao Buchen will die without a doubt. Jiang Xuesong, you donât want the troubles caused by Zhao Buchen dying in your territory, right?â
Jiang Xuesong had a stupefied expression on his face, but upon hearing JiYuanâs words, he coldly laughed and said, âYou should worry that if Zhao Buchen died, people in the cultivation world will know that it was Ye Junchi who was bloodthirsty and ruthlessly killed the Zhao family Head who was pursuing him.â
Having said that, he didnât dare to let Zhao Buchen die either so he quickly ran to Zhao Buchenâs side. Meeting gaze with that black-robed person, he clenched his teeth and fished out a dazzling gold colored pill and stuffed it into Zhao Buchenâs mouth.
Ye Junchi and JiYuan were inside the array anyway, so as long as the array was not broken, Ye Junchi couldnât use any spiritual power. As for the remaining JiYuan, he was very easy to take out.
JiYuan doesnât have time to think about what they were thinking or doing. He shakily held Ye Junchi, doesnât dare to look at the various big and small injuries on his body and lightly called out, âYe Junchi?â
Ye Junchiâs eyes were closed, and his face was a pale as snow. He seemed to be falling into semi-coma when he heard that familiar voice. Barely opening his eyes, his gaze contained a trace of reproach, â⌠asked you to stay inside the magic circle.â
Meeting Ye Junchiâs eyes, JiYuan couldnât say the words he wanted to say. His eyes couldnât help feeling hot, he almost cried.
Ye Junchi wanted to raise his hand to wipe his(JY) tears, but helplessly found out that his arm was broken by Zhao Buchen. He could only softly coaxed, âDonât cry, baby. I couldnât hug you now.â
This was the first time that powerful and calm Ye Junchi to be in such a sorry state.
It was extremely difficult to bear for JiYuanâs heart, he opened his mouth and in a shaking voice, âDonât die.â
Ye Junchi stared at him for a moment. Not giving a positive answer, he weakly smiled, âSuddenly remembered, itâs been a while since you last smiled. Baby, smile for me⌠ai, donât cry. Itâs alright if you donât want to smile, donât cryâŚ.â
JiYuanâs tears were practically at the verge of falling down. Ye Junchi speaking those words with a weak look, as if âŚ. he was stating his dying wish. He quietly bowed his head, his forehead touching Ye Junchiâs forehead, spoke in a hoarse voice, âGet better, and Iâll smile for you.â
Ye Junchiâs eyes became bright for a second, then immediately dimmed down, covering a wisp of craftiness. His voice was still weak, âYou promised.â
JiYuan buried his head into Ye Junchiâs nape, all his breaths contained the smell of blood, and silently nodded.
On the other side, Jiang Xuesong finally burst into irritation, âWhat happened?! Boy, what poison did you coated on the sword?!â
JiYuan turned around and looked at him with sarcasm. How could he carry some toxic poison everywhere he goes? It was just his own blood. But according to Luo Xiuyiâs speculation, a trace of blood was not enough to make someone into his âtripod furnaceâ, what a pity.
After some time of meditation, Zhao Buchen finally forced JiYuanâs blood out of him, looking at JiYuan with an awe-inspiring gaze.
Not raising his head, JiYuan asked, âZhao Buchen, donât you want to know the real identity of this black-robed person?â
JiYuan didnât wait for Zhao Buchen to reply, and coldly said, âYou should be very familiar with Yun Cheng.â
His expression immediately changed, Zhao Buchen looked at the black-robed person beside him in disbelief.
