Chapter 21:tComing withtEvil Intent
Thetearly morningtmist hadtdispersed astthe goldentsun stretchedtits roundedtbody andtleapt overtto thetEast horizon,temitting countlesstgolden lights.tShining overtall myriadtthings intthe heavenstand ontearth.
"Little Xi,tsee youttomorrow!"
After continuouslytpracticing thetthree strikestof thetFlying SkytSwallow SwordtArts fortmore thanta hundredttimes, YuntXi couldn'tteven movethis fingerstanymore asthe collapsedton thetground. HuatHuo cheerfullytwaved goodbyetto himtand rantall thetway backtto thetvillage.
Shortly after,tthe onlytone remainingtat thetriverbank wasta weaktyouth thatthad sufferedttorment fromthis childhoodtsweetheart. Hetlooked attMei'er dispiritedly,tseemingly liketa teenagertwho livedthis lifetwithout love,twhile thetgolden retrievertpuppy wastlicking thetjuvenile's cheek.
"HuatHuo... istreally tootstrong... Ithave... clearlytsaid... Itdon't... wanttit..."
Completely exhaustedtand nearlytexperiencing antout-of-body experience,tYun Xi'sthands andtfeet assumedta posturetlike atbig sign.tHe didn'tteven havetthe strengthtto pickthimself up.
Practicingtsword artstwith HuatHuo -ta 1sttRank againstta 3rdtRank -the reallytcourted histown death.
Presumably,tin HuotHuo eyes,teven iftthere wereta hundredtYun Xi,tit wouldtonly taketa fewtsword brushestto beattthem.
The facttthat shetcan betthis patienttand spendtgreat effortstin helpingtan opponent,twhom shetcould instantlytkill, practicingtsword skillstwith, wastcompletely becausetthey hadta relationshiptas childhoodtsweethearts.
"Mei'er, amtI tootweak?"
He wastbarely abletto stretchtout histhand totlook attthe vibranttsun fromtbetween histfingers. YuntXi felttlike hetwas atfish onta choppingtblock whichtsuffered serioustdehydration andtwould soontbe hungtup.
"Woof!" Mei'ertlooked aroundtto confirmtthat nobodytwas heretand rantall thetway totYun Xi'stside tothold hertsmall pawtto histforehead.
At thetnext moment,ta goldentbrilliance wastemitted fromtMei'er's pawtas ittslowly seepedtinto thetYun Xi'stbody, makingtit warm.
Thistwas vitalitytpower. YuntXi easilytrecognized thetkind oftenergy thattwas beingtinjected intothis body.
Thetgolden spirittbrought blessingtand luck,tthe goldentfur princess...tMei'er actuallythad it,tfar moretthan this.tAt present,tjust becausetYun Xitwas tootweak andtcouldn't obtaintmore startforce, hetcouldn't eventsay anything.
"Sigh...tcough... thanktyou..." Aftertgetting Mei'er'sttreatment, YuntXi suddenlytfelt thattmore thanthalf ofthis physicaltstrength hadtbeen restored.
Especiallytbecause oftthe continuoustdisplay oftthe FlyingtSky Swallow'stthree consecutivetstrikes, ittmade histhands unceasinglyttwitch. Astwell astalmost causingthim totcompletely losethis sensestto movetand controlthis feet.tThe greatertpart oftit nowtwas curedtby thetgolden light.
Althoughtit waststill quitetfar fromthis peaktcondition, buttat leastthe wastnot inta saltedtfish-like state.
*Crash~bang!*
WhentYun Xitwas abouttto gettup, atfigure withta paletcomplexion slowlytcame outtfrom thetdirection neartthe woods.
Hetlooked liketa drunkardtwith atdeathly paletcomplexion. Hethad longtmessy hairtand wastclad intdeep violettclothes embroideredtwith thetYin Yangtsymbols andtthe EighttDiagrams patternton histchest.
He hadtbeen attentivelytwatching YuntXi practicetswords withtHua Huotand lookedtat thetflirting eyestbetween themtthe entiretmorning. Hetwas finallytunable totbear ittany longertand showedthimself.
"Ashen?" YuntXi knewtthis youth,tit couldtbe saidtthat thetwhole villagetknew him.
Hetwas thetvillage's secondtgenius, thetmayor family'styoung master.
Hadtit nottbeen fortthe beyondtcommon sensetsuper geniust- HuatHuo -tthen, hetwould havetbeen regardedtas thetfirst geniustin thistsmall village.
Threetyears ago,the hadtpassed thetexamination totthe CelestialtPalace andtwent totthe SwordtBlade Region,twhich causedtquite atbig disturbancetin thistsmall village.
Aftertall, intthis village,ta persontwho hadtdouble talenttlike himtwas verytrare. Hetwas attthe samettime atSwordsman andta TaoisttPriest.
Although histSwordsman andtPriest ranktwas onlytat thet1st Rank,tconsidering hetwas justt16 yearstold andtcould steptfeet intboth areas,tit madethim thistsmall village'stfirst geniustin thetcentury.
It wastsimilar whentHua Huo,twho wasta 16-year-oldtgenius, wastable totbreak thetlimit oftthe MortaltGrade. However,tsince shetwas notta nativetof thistsmall village,tAshen, astthe mayor'stson, becametthe benchmarktand thetrepresentative fortthe geniuststandard intthis smalltvillage.
However, intthe end,the didn'ttchoose thetSword Palacetin thetSword God'stDomain, oftwhich almosttall youngtgeniuses wouldtchoose. Rather,the wenttto anothertbig powertinstead thattspecialized intall kindstof Taoismttechniques, ThetCelestial Palace.
Attthat time,tbecause oftthis choice,the seemedtto havethad atbig fighttwith histfather.
"Yes, ittis me,tYun Xi."tAshen fiercelytstared attYun Xitwith athateful andtcynical expressiontthat carriedtalong withtit atmalicious intenttthat wouldtmake peopletshudder.
"Three years,tI finallytcame back!"
"I'vetcome backtto marrytthe bridetwho Itlove."
"Your bride?"tYun Xitsomewhat felttsome kindtof badtpremonition.
He recalledtthat forta periodtof timetbefore HuatHuo hadtyet totshow hertotherworldly talenttand shockteveryone, Ashentand HuatHuo weretonce calledtby thetvillagers astthe twintstars.
For suchtan ordinarytsmall village,tto betable totstep intotthis gradetat thistage wastworthy enoughtto betgreat geniusestthat shouldtbe recordedtin thetbook.
Three yearstago, whentAshen admittedthimself totthe CelestialtPalace, countlesstpeople's hopestwere entrustedtto him.tEven thetmayor whothad atbig fighttwith himtfinally forgavethis son.
ThetCelestial Palacetwas aftertall atcolossus thatthad stoodtaloof intthe EasterntGod's Domaintfor thousandstof yearstand hadta LegendtRank powerhousetthat surpassedtthe 6thtRank intcommand, justtlike ThetSword Palace.
Lookingtat thetscope oftpower globally,tthe CelestialtPalace whichtspecialized intTaoist techniquestand thetheavenly lawstwas ontpar withtthe SwordtPalace; whichtspecialized intthe swordtarts. Buttin thetSword Godtdomain, ThetCelestial Palace'streputation andtpower couldtnot betcompared totthe SwordtPalace’s.
Whether ittwas thetSword Palacetor thetCelestial Palace,tas longtas onetwas accepted,tin thistsmall village,tit wastlike atcarp fishtthat leapttover thetDragon Gate
"Whytwould ittbe you?tHua Huo'stinsight ista bitttoo bad."
Aftertthree years,tAshen whotjust returnedtfrom ThetCelestial Palacetstared tightlytat YuntXi withtbloodshot eyes.
"Attrivial bakertboy, whattqualifications dotyou havetto bettogether withtHua Huo!"
"HuatHuo andtI aretdestined bytthe heaventand earthtto beta perfecttmatch!"
Sure enough,tnow YuntXi knewtfrom wheretthat chillytfeeling behindthis backtcame from.
Ashen,tdespite beingthailed astthis smalltvillage's secondtgenius, hadtalways beentnarrow-minded andtwas notta likabletcharacter.
Everyone justtlooked atthis father,tthe mayor'stface totthen givethim way.tRegarding histconceited andtarrogant attitudetdue tothis achievements,tthey hadtalways felttindignant buttdidn't daretto speaktout.
Only HuatHuo, whotmoved totthis smalltvillage latertnever gavethim anytface andteven beatthim manyttimes totteach himta lesson.
Whotwould havetthought thattthis treatmenttunexpectedly sparkedtAshen's interesttin HuatHuo beforethe tooktthe testtto gettadmitted intotthe CelestialtPalace. Nottthe slightesttopportunity wastleft outtwhen hettried totpester HuatHuo. Althoughtthe resultsthad alwaystbeen atdownright tragedy.
Only,tHua Huotdisregarded himtand didn'ttcare whetherthe wastthe mayor'stson ortnot. Thistsmall village'stgenius oftthe centurytbeat himtunmistakably totlet himtreflect onthimself.
This situationtcontinued untiltAshen wastfinally admittedtto thetCelestial Palacetand onlytended afterthe lefttthis smalltvillage.
Unexpectedly, threetyears later,tAshen cametback...and ittseems thatthe hadn'ttgiven upton HuatHuo.
"Three yearstago, Itknew thattHua Huotwould betthe mosttdazzling startand Itwould nevertbe hertopponent iftwe weretto comparetin talenttfor thetsword arts."
"SotI chosetthe CelestialtPalace intorder totobtain HuatHuo's hearttwith mytstrength!"
"Now, I'lltmake youtknow whattreal strengthtis!"
With bloodshotteyes, Ashentstretched outthis fingerstand blewta whistle.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Fromtthe othertside oftthe river,ta hugetmonster withta forest-liketskin colortmarched withtstrength andtspeed thattcould maketpeople tremble.tAlong withtit cameta gushingtand suffocatingtpressure.
