With the vast resources of the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God, Hua Qingying needed only a few days to recover from her injuries. However, she had only departed from the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God half a day ago. The reason was simple, after her battle with Yun Wuji, she sensed that her sword attainment was on the verge of a breakthrough.
When she emerged from her closed-door cultivation, countless sword lights shot into the sky, filling the entire kingdom before bursting like stars. The phenomenon surprised and astonished every inhabitant of the kingdom, bringing immense joy to the Sword Sovereigns and Hua Fuchen.
Hua Qingying, who personally felt the extent of her improvement, was immensely shocked by how much she had advanced. It was the greatest progress she had experienced in the past ten thousand years. This only made her even more determined to face that man once again.
Not only did she want to take revenge on him and defeat him, but she also wished to fight him again to further refine her sword skills. It was exceedingly rare to find an opponent like him, someone with such profound sword attainment, someone capable of surpassing her in swordsmanship so easily.
After leaving the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God, she went straight toward Yun Wuji. His location was no secret among the upper echelons of the Kingdoms of God. Everyone knew that he was residing near the Endless Fog.
Half a day later, a small house came into Hua Qingying's sight. Her cold expression grew even colder as she released her terrifying aura and shouted, "Sword Demon Yun Wuji, come out and fight me!"
"Hua Qingying!" Upon sensing her aura, Shenwu Youluan's expression changed, and she exclaimed in shock, "What is she doing here? Why does she want to fight you?!"
Hua Qingying was publicly known as the strongest person beneath the True God Realm. Even five of Shenwu Youluan could not stand against her. Shenwu Youluan had once fought her and was ruthlessly defeated under her sword. The experience left a deep shadow in her heart, and she was far from the only one. Every Divine Limit Realm expert, and even the current Divine Regents before inheriting their powers, had suffered the same fate, including Shenwu Yanye.
"What else? She's here for revenge," Yun Wuji said with a casual shrug. That woman had kept him waiting for quite some time. He had expected her to come looking for him much earlier.
"Revenge? For what?" Shenwu Youluan asked.
"Because I beat her pretty badly last time," Yun Wuji said as he walked toward the door, chuckling. With his back to her, he added, "You should stay here. There's a barrier that blocks life aura, so no one will be able to sense you as long as you remain inside. It would be troublesome if word got out that you were here, especially to that toxic Twitter feminist."
"Toxic Twitter feminist?" Shenwu Youluan repeated, puzzled by his words. But Yun Wuji had already stepped out of the house. A moment later, her expression changed to one of realization as she muttered, "He must be talking about Shenwu Yanye."
...
As soon as Yun Wuji stepped outside, a sharp and cold aura locked onto him. Looking up, he saw a woman in blue suspended in the air, her frosty eyes fixed on him. His figure rose swiftly, stopping less than a hundred meters away before he spoke. "I was wondering who was rude enough to disturb my rest. Turns out it's the tactless woman I beat up last time."
After not seeing her for a while, Yun Wuji had to admit that she was quite beautiful. From a close distance, she appeared even more stunning. Her blue dress could not conceal her curves, her slender hips, her graceful waist, and her perfectly shaped butt. Every part of her was alluring and enchanting, yet she carried an undeniable air of elegance and aloofness. This aura stemmed from her noble status as the Sword Immortal, the closest person to the True God Realm, something ordinary women could never possess.
"You!" Hua Qingying's cold expression twitched at his casual, mocking words. The mental state she had believed made her completely indifferent to everything, except for Hua Caili, was suddenly shaken by just a few simple words from the man before her.
But that was not the only thing that agitated her. Another factor, though slight, stirred her emotions. Seeing him a second time, this man looked even more devilishly handsome, exuding an even more otherworldly charm.
'How could someone like him exist in this world?!' If it were not for her cultivation of the Heartless Sword, she might have already developed some feelings for him by now.
"Hmm, looking at your sword intent, it seems you have actually improved quite a bit," Yun Wuji said, holding his chin with his thumb and index finger as he observed her. "Last time I was just playing with you, and you could barely stop my attack."
"..." Hua Qingying narrowed her eyes at his words. She felt deeply uncomfortable being looked down upon, yet she could not find a single thing to say in reply because what he said was true.
He shook his head as if observing an ignorant junior. "If this is where your confidence comes from, I must say that you, little girl, are far too naive!"
"Enough! We'll see whether my sword is stronger than yours!" Hua Qingying's chest heaved. She could not tolerate his condescending tone any longer. She pointed her sword at him and said, "Today I will defeat you!"
"Good! I like your confidence! I hope you keep this attitude after your hopes get crushed," Yun Wuji said, clapping his hands and speaking with even more arrogance. Without drawing his sword, he curled a finger at her and added, "Come on, make your move. Show me how much you have improved."
"Let's take this fight somewhere else if you don't want your house destroyed and the people inside put at risk," Hua Qingying did not attack immediately. She spoke while glancing at the small building behind him.
The fight between Divine Limit Realm experts was apocalyptic, to say the least. The shockwaves alone could easily kill Half-Gods. That tiny house would be completely vaporized, along with the people inside, the moment the battle began.
"You do not have to worry. As long as I am standing here, nothing will happen to my house. Let's say I am giving you a handicap," Yun Wuji said, shaking his head lightly. He spoke with the same confident, condescending tone. "Now, hurry and attack. I am a busy man and I do not have all the time in the world."
He was not blindly arrogant. In their previous fight, he had already completely overwhelmed her, and that had happened when he was still at the 13th level of the Divine Sovereign Realm. Now, at the 1st level of the Divine Master Realm, the gap between them had widened into an insurmountable chasm, one she could never hope to bridge in her lifetime.
"Hmph!" Hua Qingying felt her pride being trampled. With a cold snort, she thrust her Immortal End Sword forward.
Shred!
A piercing sword light shot forth from the purple sword, tearing through the space before it. It then split into hundreds of thousands of sword lights, shooting from every direction toward its target, each intent on shredding him into tiny pieces.
Each of these sword lights was enough to kill a 7th level Divine Extinction Realm practitioner and severely injure those at the 9th level. One could only imagine how furious Hua Qingying was to unleash such a powerful attack right from the start.
'She actually became much stronger... Sigh! My genius is truly frightening. Just the aura of my genius alone is enough to make anyone exposed to it talented,' Yun Wuji said, staring at the densely packed sword lights filling the space around him and sighing pretentiously.
'...' Li Suo and Hei Xiaolian both facepalmed silently at his shamelessness.
As the swords were about to touch him, Yun Wuji's hand suddenly moved. It moved at an incomprehensibly and unreasonably fast speed. His five fingers pointed at each sword light, firing silver sword beams at every one of them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The scene made Hua Qingying's eyes widen in disbelief. A fraction of a second ago, the sky had been filled with her sword lights. In the next instant, every single one of them was destroyed, one by one. How could anyone move with such absurd speed?
Isn't he a heavy sword user? Shouldn't he specialize in strength and pure destructive attacks rather than speed? She knew he was faster than her, but why the fuck was he so ridiculously faster than her?!
'Yes, that is the expression you should be making, instead of that look you always wear as if the entire world owes you one billion dollars. Wait, there is no such thing as dollars here. I mean one billion Abyssal Crystals,' Yun Wuji said with a light smile at her expression. It reminded him of the time when he first met Huan Caiyi.
"Not bad, your strength has indeed improved greatly, but it is still far from enough." Yun Wuji shook his finger at her, then curled it provocatively. "Come, come, little girl, show me what you've got. I'll give you another chance."
"She will be 'cumming' soon, indeed, hehehehe." Hei Xiaolian suddenly erupted into laughter.
'These two master and servant duo are the same,' Li Suo shook her head helplessly, watching the two enjoying toying with the famous Sword Immortal. For a moment, she pitied this woman; perhaps her greatest tribulation is meeting Yun Wuji, who will shatter all her common sense and the values she had established in her life.
"How?!" Hua Qingying's battle intent was extinguished by more than half upon seeing that scene. For some reason, she felt that the aura she sensed from this man had grown many times over compared to the past.
Did this man not only have his charm improved but also his strength in such a short time? But how could that be possible?!!
The improvement in her strength could be attributed to her accumulation over thousands of years, reaching a qualitative point after her fight with him, but what about him? This guy was clearly incredibly strong. How could he have become even stronger? That is just impossible! The only possible explanation is that in their previous fight, he never used his real strength at all and was just toying with her and the Qilin God!
That must be the only plausible reason!
"Hmm? What's going on? Aren't you going to make your move? Could it be that I used so much strength I scared you?" Yun Wuji raised an eyebrow at her lack of movement, and he shook his head disappointedly, "Sigh! Although I don't know who you are, I really had high expectations for you, to think that you would already be this frightened by my genius."
"Shoo! Shoo! Since you are so scared, hurry and leave! Don't waste my time anymore before I slap you to death."
