Rebirth in Against the Gods with The Ultimate System - 121 Chapter 121

The sounds of clashing were heard were heard across the arena’s stage as three figures battle their wits out with each other. However, the two figures didn’t suffer even a small ounce of disadvantage as they smashed their ways through their third opponent. Fragile she might be, they didn’t even care about it as they continued to bombard the said woman with heavy attacks without giving her a chance to breathe or retaliating.

Under the effects of the mysterious formation from the Xiao Clan, Li Yue suffered damage as her body was bleeding all over from being smashed around by both old cultivators. If the world were to witness this, they will condemn these two for using underhand methods to deal with their opponent but in here. No one will know. No one will ever know how they died. All they know is once everything is over, only one shall emerged victorious and the secrets died in here.

Li Yue fell on the arena’s stage feeling sore all over her body. These two shameless bastards didn’t even give her the chance of retaliation.On this very stage, she was just mortal resisting a tyrant. She couldn’t even fight back as the blows she took push her away like an arrow released from a bow to the back. The same thing happened when she tried to make way towards the source of the formation. However, the moment she fought back. The other two coordinate themselves where the other would defend and the other would slap her away.

“Guarrkk!!!” Her body smashed onto the stage like a ragdoll as struggled to stand up despite having the difficulty. The toll and damage was too much for her to bear as the lack of blood started to cloud her mind. “Pant….pant…pant…” Li Yue panted while holding her burning chest as she struggle to stand up. These bastards were despicable enough to humiliate her like this.

“Give it up Fairy Li Yue. Right now, your strength should drop by half right about now and cancels all of your profound arts. This is one of the greatest treasures of the Xiao Clan as this formation were known to them and only them and the elders just graciously gave them to us. Too bad the countermeasures were only known to them.” Shao Shun spoke while waving his blade as he remembered the event yesterday. They attended the banquet which Li Yue and Mihawk didn’t attend and the Xiao Clan elders gave them the items they needed to counter them. Right now, due to their performances as dark horses, the other clans formed an alliance specifically to dispose each and every one of them. More importantly, loot all their treasures from their spatial rings. Those elders more importantly wanted to loot that black sword Yoru from the swordsman which they are going to use as a final prize among themselves. This is why they gave the markings to all eight of them so the formation will be useless if they turned on each other.

However, one thing struck their mind. If those people encountered the same hallway, then they will turn against each other before they even get to the area of the tomb. Looks like the tomb was sinister enough even though it looks much simpler compared to than it already is. No matter, once any of them finished their jobs and everything will be over.

Li Yue slowly stood up using her sword as support before she hissed “Never….”

Shao Shun grunted “As expected from Frozen Cloud Asgard disciples. These women are resilient enough,”

Seeing her in critical state, Guo Qing immediately spoke “Remember, don’t kill her. I don’t want to enjoy a woman who is already dead.”

“Hmph, why don’t you come here and finish her off.”

As the two men are arguing. Li Yue immediately channeled her strongest art. She refused to go down as a toy to them and trying to reason with them will incite them more. She rather takes her own life rather than let their way around her. Moreover, her body carried the profound secret of her sect. If they managed to keep her alive, the secret would be out and her sect will bound to destruction because of their cultivation method. A secret even she won’t dare to break. She must end her life whatever it takes. What she will used now might destroy her body but it will prevent any secrets in her body fell into the hands of these bastards.

She was still struggling to stand up however she hissed them in her icy tone. “I will never bow down to you. The moment my body falls will be your demise!!” Suddenly, massive energy started to converge around her as she channeled the forbidden technique taught to her by the Asgard Mistress. The technique they could only use in a pinch situation and as an absolute and last resort.

“Elder sister, looks like I have to disobey you and broke our promise. I hope in the next life I can be your little sister again. It’s sad for me to go in pursuing my own selfish glory. However, I am really happy that you regained your former self and able to bond with me together like sisters when we’re young.”

Her mind drifted to the happy moments she spent with her sister and disciple. As for her disciple, she stopped being her master the moment she had continuous breakthrough and transferred under the wings of her sect master. Since then, she was never seen again and the bond between master and disciple gone just like a one-night stand. Her value was less than her. So she wanted more, she wanted to recognize by the sect. So she learned, practiced and asked for some tips from her sister. She knew her sect won’t let anyone at her current level go. She wanted to obtained their recognition. So she did what she had to do.

Now, all the feelings she felt now is regret. Due to her ignorance, she left the sect in secret and disobey her sister. She let everything go for the sake of gaining power and recognition. She felt regret the moment her sister’s smiling face popped into her head. The face she was waiting for a long time to see. Now, all of it thrown away for a target she will never had the chance to obtain. Moreover, Mihawk’s face popped out at the end of it and cause her icy heart to flutter.

The ground shook as the floor around her began to crack due to the channeling of her energy. Both Shao Shun and Guo Qing started to sweat furiously. Whatever the technique she planned, it was enough to turn the whole tide against them.

“We need to stop her. If she finished whatever she was planning, both of us might the ones who will lose.”

“This bitch, still hiding some powerful techniques huh?”

“We’ll show her our strongest skills as well. We can’t afford to risk she used it against us. Her strength might be halved by the formation by I am not going to face it.”

“Elder sister, please forgive me. FROZEN CLOUD ART FORBIDDEN TECHNIQUE: ZEROTH AURORA!!!” She shouted as she completed the formation of the Zeroth Aurora technique. She immediately used her movement art before running towards them.

Just one hit..

Just one hit will do…..

However, before she could even reach them. The other two immediately launched a counter attack

Guo Qing immediate raised his finger as flames all over his body suddenly formed a massive finger behind him. He immediately shouted “…..Guo Sect Secret Skill: FLAMING GOLDEN FINGER!!!!”

As for Shao Shun, he too raise his sword before releasing massive amount of energy on her as well. “….Heaven’s Ultimate Sword Skill: SWORD OF CORRUPTION!!!!

The two powerful forces was too much for Li Yue to handle. “AHHHHHH!!!!!!” She released a painful shout as the two techniques collided with her body. The Zeroth Aurora she used just now were instantly shattered as it backfired back onto her body but miraculously. The backfired prevented her body from being destroyed with the cost of her internals injuries worsen. The combination of both attacks destroyed almost all clothes on her body.

Her body however was ultimately destroyed. She laid on the stage with her brownish silver hair undo itself. Moreover, even her face displayed to the world. The attacks from two elders destroyed some of her clothes but destroyed her mask entirely. The channeling made her body vulnerable and the two attacks just now smash her to pieces and sent her body flying like a ragdoll.

She laid there with clothes barely covered her body. What’s worst, her eyes were full or darkness without any sparks of life. However, she was still conscious and her heart was beating really slow. She was alive but at the same time she was dead. She fought her way through the selection with pride and now, whatever dignity and pride she had before were just shattered ultimately by these two. It wasn’t a fair fight but it was a massacre. She couldn’t even defend herself.

What is more horrible in her part that she is still conscious and aware what is happening around her.She couldn’t even feel the pain in her body and what’s more, she couldn’t even move. Then, how can she fix herself? She couldn’t even die. This is more of asking her to die a slow and painful death. “What happened? I can’t move my body? Why am I conscious? Why am I not dead? Are the heavens had forsaken me? Why? Why? WHY!!! WHY CAN’T I JUST DIE!!!!”

Despite unable to talk and conscious of her surroundings, Li Yue was totally devastated. This is the worst possible ending a woman could actually face. She couldn’t even do anything as she can’t even kill herself to save her from an ultimate humiliation. It means she can’t feel but she can see the things the men will do to her. Her widening devoid of life eyes observed the two men who just ‘killed’ her slowly moved to her with a sinister smile. For the first time ever, she was so scared. Her ice heart was ultimately destroyed when her technique was cancelled by the two attacks and her emotions were in turmoil as well. Her feelings of helplessness and despair were slowly filling her heart as she shed tears in her eyes knowing that her end is near.

Her state right now is much worse than humiliation itself. She shouted and begs in her heart for her body to move and it wouldn’t listen. She suddenly remembered the face of her sister. Right now, she really wanted to go back and hug her as tightly as possible. Telling her that how she regrets everything happened so far. Now because of her ego and pride, she left her and coming her without her knowledge. Now, her sister will never know her burial place and will spend most of her life looking for her. One day for sure, her sister would blame herself for her death. Thinking about it slowly make even more tears gushing out from her lifeless eyes.

“Hmph, this bitch is sure a lot of trouble.” Guo Qing recovered himself before looking at her face.

“This elder is lucky to see such a beautiful face.” Shao Shun suddenly crouch next her before observing her face while licking his lips.

“Oi, look at her face, doesn’t she looked familiar?”

“I don’t…. Holy hell, isn’t this the famous Chu Yueli?”

“CHU YUELI?!?!? The sister of the Ultimate Fairy Chu YueChan?”

“To think that her sister is actually the ultimate fairy itself. Doesn’t this mean she’ll seek her revenge at us in the future?”

“No, what happened here. Stays in here. Besides, no one will know if one doesn’t tell. Am I right?” Guo Qing suddenly smiled sinisterly.

“Yeah, you’re right. After all of that, she was bound to be killed right? She’s not really dead right?”

“No, she still alive. She had a small spark of life inside her. Right now, she became a cripple entirely.”

“Damn, we sure did a number on her. For the sake of our sect, we did what we have to do.”

“Wait, we can still enjoy her body right?” The moment Li Yue or her true name Chu Yueli heard those words, she started to flinch in the inside but her body didn’t even show any response. The only thing she could do now is gushing out tears from her eyes.

“Yeah, this elder always have thoughts on doing the seven fairies themselves. Even so far making them my personal harem.”

“Hmph, you’re only learn how to dream.”

“Yeah, with the Empress’s inheritance in my grasp. That dream might be possible in the future.”

“Anyway, looking at her less clothing body made my little brother down there tingling with excitement.”

“Let’s truly enjoy her then. We’ll even offer her to whoever comes in later.”

As the other two approached her with malicious and perverted intent, Chu Yueli who was conscious the entire time shouted and beg in her heart to prevent them from raping her. “Elder sister, Mihawk…….. Anyone…. Please…. ”

“Save me!!” All hopes were lost to her but suddenly…

SHINNG!!!!!!!!!

The sharp sound of sword was heard as both men turned their heads towards the source of the sound. They only managed to turn their heads only a bit before they finally saw it. A massive bluish green like energy suddenly shot from the fourth door towards their location. The massive energy travel from the doorway towards the stage faster than arrow flying from a bow. They didn’t even react as the energy immediately engulf them entirely. Now, blood was gushing over from their bodies as the slash not only cut through them but leaving bizarre wounds enough to make anyone terrified.

“ARRRGHHH!!!” The two men shouted as they were toppled from the current location towards a distance on the stage. What’s more, the slash was perfectly timed and it missed Chu Yueli’s body entirely preventing her from being engulf in the slash as well.

“This!!! Don’t tell me!!!” Guo Qing turned his head towards the door as the wounds in his body started to affect them. With widening eyes, he saw a figure that will haunt him.

Tud…. Tud… Tud… Tud…..

The sound of walking was heard as the person they feared the most slowly walked from the doorway of the fourth path. Is this even a coincidence? That man, the man they wanted to use the formation against instantly took them down from a distance. The man they will never face alone and might took the might of eight people just to kill him. The man who sliced the heavens and challenged the entire Empire. The man with the black sword.

“Dracule…

“Mihawk!!!…”

Yun Che arrived all by himself on the stage. Jasmine however floated next to him unseen by anyone other than Yun Che and his Shinigami companions as well as Mio. The reason he was late because he had earful of Jasmine’s ranting about the secrets of exploring the outside world without using her gigai. Turns out, Jasmine can store her gigai in the inner world and ejected her soul form into the outside world. Since she was bound to the system, it masked her divine soul’s aura to prevent her from being detected but she cannot wander more than 10 meters from him. Which annoyed her a lot as she preferred to explore the outside world in her gigai because she can go further in it. Anyway, she rants in Yun Che’s ear about not telling her this method before but she was even more angrier as the reason he didn’t tell her because she didn’t ask about it.

The moment he stepped on the stage, he immediately received a notification.

[Ding…. Host is now stepping into the Profound Suppressing Formation Mark 1]

[The formation activates a de-buff to anyone who didn’t bear the anti-formation mark and cause their strength as well as combat prowess to decrease by 50%. Any cast techniques and elemental aura within the formation will be instantly dissolved however the formation’s power will be significantly reduced.]

[System had collected enough data to develop an antivirus feature. This feature will disable any formation effects by deploying certain countermeasures according to the host’s formation knowledge.]

[Ding… scanning formation weakness.]

[Ding…. Weakness found. Deploying countermeasures.]

Jasmine floated next to Chu Yueli and started to examine her. She kept a stoic face as she witnessed the things they’ve done to her. Her hatred for women might subside but these two have gone way too far as this woman lied on the arena’s stage in her own pool of blood and barely had clothes on her. Yun Che ignored the other two as they struggling to get back on their feet before lowering himself to take a better view on her face. She was much worse than as it is. Her eyes were grayed out and were devoid from any signs of life. Even when he felt her in the distance, her life was barely clinging on her. Even her beauty was tarnished completely.

Keeping a calm expression, he spoke in his heart. {System, run a full diagnostic scan]

[Scanning]

[Scan Complete.]

[The subject Chu Yueli has been hit with a blunt force of two Sky Profound Realm Techniques which cause the Zeroth Aurora technique on her backfired causing massive internal damage. The channeling of the Zeroth Aurora technique caused her body to become fragile as a glass but the force of those techniques cause unimaginable harm on her body. System has detected the following injuries.

– Multiple Bone fractures

– Loss of profound channeling capabilities.

– Severed nerve veins.

– Exploded muscles

– Lost large amount of blood

– Severe wounds on her skin.

[Host must never attempt to move her as one of her ribs cracked and pierce her lungs. One of it almost pierced through her heart. Even the slightest movement can stab her heart and kill her.]

[Ding…. System has detected her consciousness is slowly fading but she can hear and see everything for the next 5.06 minutes before her life fades away.]

Yun Che slowly rubs her eyes from her tears as his hat shadowed his eyes. Even in this pitiful state, she was still gushing out tears as a sign fear and hopelessness as she was conscious the entire time. However, her life was still clinging on it. It means she had the resolve to die and the will to live. He wondered why she was able to survived this. The reason he makes his way here because he detected the changes in her profound energy in the distance before dashed through the hallway to get here.

He rubs her face as he spoke “Please wait for me. I’ll deal with these guys.”

Jasmine floats next to her and she spoke “Whatever you do, make them pay for this. If you won’t, I will.” She might didn’t care a single thing about this woman’s life but seeing this scene was enough to spark a little anger from her.

Yun Che just observe Chu Yueli’s face as he spoke with killing intent. “I was planning to.”

“Haha, Dracule Mihawk. You’re too late. That woman had nothing more on her. You can curse your luck for arriving just a little late than her.” Seeing that he stepped into the formation, the two bastards from before regained their confidence. The slash attack he cast before was outside the formation and it was too fast. The formation didn’t even dissolve it before it hits them. Pulling some pills from their spatial rings, they regained and healed most of their wounds.

[Ding… Countermeasures transmitting.]

[10%]

[35%}

“We could kill you like her but it won’t be fun like that.” Despite the injuries on their body, Shao Shun and Guo Qing had confidence that they would be able to deal with him in the formation. However, Yun Che kept quiet as he placed Yoru on the ground and wiped the tears off Chu Yueli’s face. Because of them, her face is now full of bloodied wounds that tarnished her beauty. He never expected his faithful meeting with her will turned out like this even if this is his first time meeting Chu Yueli herself. If Little Fairy or QingYue were to witnessed this tragic form of her, who knows what they could’ve done.

[75%]

[90%]

“Dracule MIHAWK!!! Blame yourself for offending the ones you shouldn’t have!!! Guo Qing shouted as he launched himself in the air as he was preparing to sliced him off. He thought that even with the formation, he can still overpower him and none of his techniques will work in here.

[100%. Countermeasures transmitted. Formation is now under host’s control. All de-buffs removed. Setting the formation to affect the ones carrying the mark instead.]

“DIE!!!!” However, Yun Che didn’t raised Yoru or anything in the air. He simply raised his left arm after placing Yoru on the ground. Suddenly,

CLANG!!!

SMASH!!!

The earth profound sword used by Guo Qing just now smashed into millions of pieces after making contact with Yun Che’s left arm. “Whaaa…” Guo Qing was gawking with his eyes out as the monstrous swordsman only raised his arm to smash the Earth Profound Realm to pieces.

“How…the formation should….” Shao Shun spoke with trembling voices as he saw Mihawk didn’t even flinch when Guo Qing attacked him. As if he knew and prepared for this.

“Vibramantium. The most powerful and indestructible metal on this planet used to create and modify clothing.” As he said that, he grabbed Yoru before re-sheath it back behind him. Then he continued “Also, what formation?” The sword just now hit his Vibramantium infused clothing. He did however used his advanced armament haki to shake the area around his arm so when the sword makes contact, the vibration around it will shatter the sword. It’s his first time doing so but the results turn out well than expected.

He picked up the pieces of the sword on the ground before slowly moving towards him. His yellow eyes were started to intimidate Guo Qing. He really thought that those eyes are merely eyes but now he knew why the crowd called him ‘Hawk Eyes’.

“You demon!!!” Guo Qing was terrified, the formation failed to serve its purposed as the monstrous swordsman instantly appeared in front of him. He tried to use his arts but the moment he used them, he felt that his strength was slowly dissolving itself.

“This is….” Before he could finish talking, suddenly he felt his arms weren’t moving at all including his legs as if he lost control to them. He felt so much fear coming from his eyes. More importantly, this is the first time he felt an absolute killing intent came from him. He had another thing coming, Yun Che immediately landed a solid blow on his abdomen sending him flying to the light pillar in the corner of them arena.

“BOOM!!” “Guarrkk!!” His back smashed itself on the light pillar. He thought the attacks were stopped but he was surprised with another and last two attack.

Shooo….Shoo…

The moment he regained his bearings, his left and right chest area were suddenly pierced with a pair of blades. The thing is those blades are the pieces of the broken blade the swordsman picked just now. His attacks were too fast as Guo Qing didn’t even reacted at those attacks.

Guo Qing immediately plead “Please, have mercy….”

With a calm expression, Yun Che spoke “Mercy? Do you have mercy for her when she desperately fought back? You even wanted to sullied her after being sending her into that state. Mercy? Those blades on your chest is mercy enough. I hope you don’t make any sudden movement. The left blade over there pierces that your heart is the only thing keeping you alive. You know what happens next.”

The real Mihawk would simply kills them with a swift dead but those swift deaths are rewarding enough for these guys. Not after what they did to Chu Yueli. Yun Che turned his head towards the next middle age man named Shao Shun. He was trembling on his legs and Yun Che could noticed a foul stench came from his lower area. A thirty year old and above man pissed himself out of fear.

With haste, he immediately turned tail and run towards the doorway. However, Yun Che didn’t give a quick chase. He pointed his hand at him and simply fired a Byakurai towards him. The white energy of the byakurai pierces his chest area before he fell to the ground while painfully holding his chest.

Shao Shun started to shout between grunts but the more words he threw, the painful his chest will become. “ARRGGHHH!!!!! You demon!! Our sect won’t let you go for this!!”

“Won’t let me go? I never planned in letting either one of you go. If they decided to attack me, thenyou could only hope others will be strong enough. Besides, I can tolerate you insulting and provoking me but you cross the line once you did one thing.” With that, Yun Che grabbed his throat before pulling his sword from the man’s waist. This guy might be heavily armored but he lifted him up with ease before looking at Shao Shun with his intimidating yellow eyes.

He remembered Chu Yueli’s tears before he spoke “You made a lady cry.” Then, he instantly threw him towards the next empty pillar of light in the corner of the arena smashing his back onto it. With a swift motion, he threw the sword he pulled just now to him before it pierced his abdomen and pinned him on the pillar causing him to shout with all his voice. His abdomen was pierced by a sword destroying his cultivation on the spot but the hole in his chest pierces his lung as well. It will be a matter a time before he suffocates to death by the trapped air and blood slowly filling it.

Jasmine smirks behind him as she saw him gave these guys some ‘mercy.’ He didn’t kill them but leave them on the edge but their deaths will not be swift one but a slow and painful death. Yun Che ignored their pleas before he slowly picked up the yellow paper on the ground.

“Impressive, so this is the thing they were talking about the other day?” He immediately sets the formation on fire instead of keeping it. Once the paper turned into ashes. The formation was dissolves itself. Turning his head towards Chu Yueli, he makes his way towards her before seeing her pitiful state once more.

“Poor girl, she couldn’t even commit suicide. All she could do now is waited to succumb to death itself. Unless, you wanted to use it on her?” Jasmine observed his calm expression. She sighs as this jackass will never abandon this girl. If this was any other girl, he wouldn’t risk himself in using that skill bestowed to him by the system.

Yun Che kept quiet as he slowly put his finger on the middle of her chest. If the system was right about the nature of that skill. Then, it’s not wrong to use it on someone who desperately needs it.

He murmured “Status Recovery.”

Swoosh…. Chu Yueli’s body was instantly restored itself. From his eyes, he could see broken bones rearranged itself and all her destroyed organs as well as muscles were slowly being regenerated. Her wounds started to heal at a fast rate. If anyone in the outside world able to witness this. This will cause a sensation even attracts those from the sacred grounds and possibly those from up there. As she was healing, a white bright light instantly covered her whole body as if she turned back time itself to heal. What shocks Jasmine once more was her severed nerve and profound veins were reattached and her strength was restoring itself. Even her beauty was slowly restoring itself as wounds, scars and scratches started to disappear.

She widens her eyes once more witnessing this miracle as not only the skill heals everything in a fast rate. It even restored a cripple person back to full power. Something even the most powerful of Divine cultivators and healers failed to do so. Now she understood why the skill is called ‘Status Recovery’ that her idiot disciple here can use it once a day.

The light slowly crumbles as a less clothed beautiful lady started emerging from the light. When Yun Che observe Chu Yueli’s true face, he was kind of right. She shares the same features as Little Fairy however, she was much younger than Little Fairy’s Grayfia Lucifuge lookalike herself. She shares her brownish silver hair and eyes but her hair was not braided like her. However, she was more letting it free fall until her waist. He can’t deny that both sister shares the same skin color and body type especially that large chest of hers. Who knew underneath that black robe of her, she hid such a fine and alluring body. Damn, maybe both of them came from a long line of spectacular bodied women.

Seeing him ogling at her, she immediately shot “How long are you going to look?”

“*Sigh… Fine, I won’t.” He sighs again. Too bad his gamer’s mind and Mihawk’s persona affecting him. Otherwise he might ogle her a little longer. He pulls out a large towel from his inventory and covered her with it or he might get misunderstood.

“Huurrkk… Hnnn” Chu Yueli was slowly waking up from her healing session. Her body was finally restored to her former state as if she wasn’t hurt to begin with. All wounds and scars disappeared from her body as if she was reborn once more.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the first person she saw was…..

“Mihawk?” But, he turned his back towards her but that towering sword behind him was enough for her to identify him. Moreover, she saw everything happened and it was still fresh in her memories. Seeing him killed those two men to protect her suddenly sparks some warmth on her cheeks. Moreover, he used some kind of miraculous skill to heal her. A skill or a treasure that instantly restored her body back to full power. She had loads of questions but…..

“Took you a while to wake up.” Yun Che spoke while turning his head.

She wanted to stand up but she felt her body was kind of breezy and the moment she takes a look at it. Her face was slowly turning red before covering it with the towel Yun Che had on her.

“Mihawk….I….”

“Save it…. Get yourself…” He turned his body around but something unexpected happened to him. Li Yue or Chu Yueli instantly dashed and hugged his body.

Keeping a calm expression, he asked “What are you….”

*Sob…. *Sob….

“This is… don’t tell me…” Yun Che immediately scanned her profound energy and he was right. Her profound energy was slowly changing and evolving just like Little Fairy. Moreover, it was really pure. Looks like her Ice Heart was shattered. If it doesn’t. There’s no way she would do this to him. Especially her view of men from her sect.

Chu Yueli was hugging him tightly refusing to let him go. Moreover, she didn’t even care whether her current state was shameless enough for a lady of her stature. She was shaking entirely as her experience just now nearly killed her. What’s worse, if he hadn’t come and save her. She probably lost her honor and all her painstaking effort will be gone just like that. Her ice heart shattered by the combined impact of those two arts before and the backfired of her Zeroth Aurora. Her situation was kind of remind him of how Little Fairy hugged him back then after feeling so much fear from the two dragons.

He pulled a deep breath before patting her back and slowly calming her down. He didn’t even see her as his wife’s master, Little Fairy’s sister or even a high member of the Frozen Cloud Asgard. Right now, she’s just a scared girl who just had her life saved from the brink of death.

“Why…..Why did you *Sobsave me? I am just a burden to you. I couldn’t even defeat those two. I was scared….. I was so scared… *Sob… My sister…. Qingyue…. Everyone… Why am I still alive?” She continued to spoke between sobbing as she poured out her tears. This is the nature of the Frozen Cloud Asgards disciples, having their emotions suppressed will continue to hurt them even more but they will be as fragile as glass the moment their ice heart shattered. Right now, because of fear and helplessness. She expressed her sadness to him which he didn’t made any comments or remarks as he let her pour her heart. Makes him having second thoughts on destroying the Frozen Cloud Asgard’s disciples Ice Hearts again in the future.

Jasmine turned her head but he could see she was trying her best to hide that jealous expression. Not that he minded but he smirks a little seeing her like this.

It took her a while to calm down but the moment she calmed down, she immediately turned red and distanced herself from him. She couldn’t believe she just poured her heart out to that man. Moreover, she was sent back into a turmoil while still wearing that towel he gave her. Moreover, why is she like this? Seeing her like this, he sighs like Mihawk always did before thinking of something to change the subject to distract her. “Looks like you’re okay.”

“I…. I….. I just did that.” She was too embarrassed as she remembered every moment of that just now. She admit she was in turmoil but she didn’t expect she did that just now.

“Don’t worry about it. You’re alive and well. That’s all that matters.”

“Hnn, I don’t know how you saved me. I am grateful.”

“Then, you can start with the truth.”

“Truth?”

“Your name is not Li Yue. Am I right?” Although he knew the answer, he asked her anyway.

“I….”

“Don’t bother to hide it. You spoke a lot just now.”

She suddenly went red before she sighs. The cat is out of the bag and there’s no use playing secret anymore. “Hnnngg….*Sigh.. Yes. I am not actually Li Yue. In fact, I am Chu Yueli of the Frozen Cloud Asgard.”

“The sister of Chu YueChan?” Yun Che casually blurted out.

“How do you know?”

He immediately covered himself with some other stories. “Those men spoke of it before. They seemed to know you that well.”

“Hnn, the high ranking members of our sect were widely known. Its not that surprising if the whole empire knows us.”

“Then, why are you here?”

“What do you mean?”

“I am sure this is not some hoax to help your sect. I am sure you had your reasons. I am sure this all about recognition?” As he spoke those words, Chu Yueli widen her eyes as Yun Che was able to read her like an open book. She didn’t spoke about recognition before but he seemed to guess her correctly.

She nodded her head before answering “Yes.”

“Then, say no more. You can tell me when we make our way to the tomb. Also, you can’t go to that tomb dressed like that.” As he spoke he closed his eyes before turning his back towards her. Also, he wanted to thanked her for showing that alluring body to him. She really looked like a younger version of her sister but her hair was not braided like hers. Seeing her up close was satisfying enough even if its not the meeting he had in mind.

Chu Yueli went red once more before dashing to a nearby doorway. All of her clothes were destroyed in the encounter but good thing her spatial ring was intact. It took a while for her to get ready but she was dressed in her sect’s white robe similar to Little Fairy’s normal attire. She only had one black outfit and it was destroyed during the fight. When Yun Che saw her once more, he almost mistaken her for Little Fairy but good thing her younger face and free fall hairstyle differentiate both of them. Moreover, she didn’t seemed to wear any veil around her face.

She detected that both of the men before was still alive and she wanted to deliver the final blow before Yun Che stopped her. Despite everything she went through, those men were dying in a slow and painful death. Putting them out of their misery is mercy enough. So, despite the towering anger in her heart. She immediately dismissed them before shooting an icicle straight through their Little brother. Screams of agony were heard as the icicles pierced through them and blood was gushing out. Those two were dying enough by him and now she just shot their little nuggets. Makes him wonder what happened if she fought with full power with them.

“Damn, this woman is scary.” His internal self-spoke as she returned back to his side. Looking at her, she’s really beautiful once he took a good look at her. Makes him wonder why the hell she was a forgotten character back in the original novel. All he could remember about her was Qingyue’s retrival, Little Fairy’s expulsion, her defeat against him and her continuous breakthrough from him. That was it. No side adventures, no friendly conversation, no nothing.

“Tell me one thing.” She spoke with her bangs covering her eyes.

She turned her head before facing him. “Why did you save me? Do I have any use to you? Are you going to discard me once we’re done? You know that only one survives this tomb.” She asked him with those kind of questions. She feared that he only saved her because of personal reasons. She didn’t understand why a powerful and strongest swordsman would want to someone like her. Even so far using a miraculous skill to save her.

Yun Che was suddenly taken aback. Well, its questionable that she was right about the trust part.He can’t say he knew her sister as they never met before. What is he supposed to say? Looks like there’s only one thing he could say.

He shot her his cool look and said “Because I took a liking to you.”

Now it was her turn to take aback, her face suddenly went red and said “Eh? Like … me?”

“You make better travelling companion unlike these guys.”

“Oh…” She was somehow disappointed before she slowly smiles. “Then, my thanks to you for saving my life. I don’t know what method you use to heal me. I guess some people has their own secrets. I am in your debt.” She turned her head without asking more questions towards the doorway in the distance. Now, the only thing separated them and the doorway is the large chasm and is impossible to be crossed.

Suddenly, all four pillars of light on the stage suddenly light up as one winner of the four was chosen to enter the next area. The lights from four pillars suddenly shot towards the center and above the arena before forming a giant ball of light. The arena shook as the giant ball aqua light suddenly illuminates the area.

“I thought only one winner was allowed to go on?” Chu Yueli asked him.

“When you lose the fight before, the first light suddenly lit up indicating you were defeated and the other two pillar lit up when I defeated the other two men. Good thing it didn’t turned back off the moment I healed you.” He explained to her.

“That would be bad right?”

With that, the lights suddenly shaped itself into a pathway leading to the doorway in the distance. The doorway that was impossible to be reach with flight as the area was controlled with some kind of force preventing them from flying. What shocks Chu Yueli and the invisible Jasmine was the light energy that solidify itself into a path with strange linings. The pathway looked almost as it was made from glass and it didn’t even look real. However, her doubts were cleared once she tried to touch the newly formed pathway. It looked impossible but this is the first time she saw such feat.

Jasmine was excited once more as she observe the grand changes in the tomb. Seeing this kind of sight was majestic enough to distract her from her jealous dilemma. “Incredible…..what kind of tomb is this?”

“If we find the item she was referring to, I’ll explain to you at the end.”

Jasmine suddenly went into curious mode and she asked “Item? You knew about that mysterious orb?”

“Sort of, but first I need to make sure of it.”

When Yun Che saw the formation of the pathway, he was reminded when the day he visited that temple in the real world. The situation was pretty much the same. Now, his doubts were cleared and all he need now is the real thing itself.

Chu Yueli was back to her usual personality but when she stepped on the aqua pathway, she turned her head towards him and spoke “Are you coming?” She turned her head again before started walking however what Yun Che didn’t noticed that her cheeks were red for some reason.

Jasmine who was floating next to him suddenly asked “What’s with her?”

“Who knows.”

Yun Che was about to continue but suddenly….

Click…click….click…..

Clicking sounds were heard from underneath his feet as suddenly a pedestal suddenly emerged from the floor on the center of the arena’s stage. It wasn’t built on the altar like before but the pedestal just rose suddenly from the ground just like that. It was a similar pedestal like the one in the hallway. When Yun Che and Jasmine saw that pedestal, it could only mean one thing.

[Ding….. A Soul Imprint is detected on the pedestal.]

Chu Yueli was curious when she heard something from the arena’s stage but when she saw the same pedestal from before came out from the stage. She too was kind of curious before she slowly went back to him. Same as before, she saw nothing on the pedestal just like the one on the altar.

She suddenly spoke “Why did they build this thing if they weren’t going to put anything on it?”

Yun Che kept quiet as he and Jasmine located the same Soul Imprint on top of the pedestal. He hovered his hand above it before it started glowing just like the previous pedestal and displayed the same person who left the imprint here. The Moon Empress. Both Yun Che and Jasmine could see her clearly but the same cannot be said for Chu Yueli. She didn’t see anything at all but she can see the pedestal was glowing.

What both of them can see next…shocks him the most…

Yun Che widen his eyes before he murmured “Never expected she would encounter this thing in this world.”
