Against the Gods Chapter 240 – Battle Between Husband and Wife (2)

Chapter 240 Battle Between Husband and Wife (2)

Yun Che straightened his upper body. Bending his right leg forward, he closed his eyes, and both his hands assumed the sword-grasping form. After maintaining this motion for a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes and growled before chopping forward with both arms...

But these series of movements were mere movements without any grandeur.

What are you doing? Jasmine finally could not restrain her curiosity as she asked out loud.

Yun Che retrieved both hands, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: Jasmine, what do you think the probability of me winning the fight tomorrow is?

If any other person was substituted, with the exact same profound strength and profound techniques as you, the probability of defeating Xia Qingyue would be completely zero! Even if this person had used all his strength, he shouldnt even think about exchanging more than ten moves. But for you... theres probably a tiny chance. Jasmine responded lightly: Because, when you are about to lose, youll become a madman who cant afford to lose!

Hehe, thanks for the praise. Yun Che smiled, quite pleased with himself.

Praise? I was being sarcastic! Jasmine corrected herself very earnestly: I can feel that you arent that confident about defeating Xia Qingyue yourself, yet you also absolutely wont permit yourself to lose. So, at that time, even I wont be able to anticipate what kind of life-threatening actions youll make. However, I must warn you, it is best that you dont try to forcefully activate the third realm of the Evil God. At the Dragon God Trial grounds, you forcefully activated the second realm of the Evil God. If it wasnt for your Great Way of the Buddha suddenly making a breakthrough, you would have died there. You wont have such heavenly luck every time!

Im not really a person who cant afford to lose; if tomorrows opponent was Ling Yun, or even Xiao Jie, I wouldnt think much about it if I lost, but only Xia Qingyue... I definitely cannot lose! This isnt an issue of victory or defeat, but an issue of a mans dignity!

A mans dignity?

... This is a matter between adults, little kids wont understand it. Yun Che answered with a grin.

Little kid? Hmph! Everything I know, surpasses your knowledge ten million times! Jasmine snorted in disdain: You still havent answered my question. What are you gesticulating?

Its not much. Ive just been trying to get a feel for the Sirius Second Sword Style based off the fundamental stage of the Prison God Sirius Tome, but evidently, Ive been a bit too quixotic. Yun Che said grudgingly. He had tried to do this numerous times, but each time, his efforts proved to be fruitless.

Jasmine, do you really not have any impression at all of the Sirius Second Sword Style? Yun Che suddenly asked. Currently, out of all of his attacking profound techniques, Sky Wolf Slash had the greatest power. And Sky Wolf Slash was only the first sword style of the Prison God Sirius Tome, yet it already had such formidable power; the godly might of the following sword styles must be even more frightening.

During that time, I had only casually flipped through the Prison God Sirius Tome while Big Brother was training, so I only remember the fundamental stage and the first sword style... Speaking to this point, Jasmine seemed to have thought of something, and after a slight pause, a string of scenes suddenly appeared in Yun Ches mind... In the scenes, a young man with a handsome figure and unclear facial features was currently brandishing an enormous heavy sword even larger than his body. Every wave of the heavy sword caused the winds and clouds to rumble, and the earth to quake...

This... is...

This is a scene of Big Brother training. His heavy sword sword styles are mostly from the Prison God Sirius Tome, but there are only movements, and no profound arts. Furthermore, I cant guarantee that these scenes wont have mistakes and omissions. Whether or not you can get anything out of this, its all up to you. Jasmine said irresponsibly.

Yun Che didnt say anymore. After calming his heart down, he began to silently observe the form of the figure wielding the heavy sword in his mind, over and over again...

The next day, Heavenly Sword Villas Sword Discourse Arena.

The sun had yet to rise, but the Sword Discourse Arena was already completely packed. This day was the concluding day of the Ranking Tournament, and the two parties in the final battle was an unprecedented pair of a young man and woman who were merely seventeen years of age.

One was Yun Che, who had the lowest profound strength out of all the participating disciples, yet consecutively defeated opponents with profound strengths far surpassing his, and ultimately, miraculously charged into the final battle. In every one of his fights, he had brought about more or less legendary flair. He was the first ever disciple in the True Profound Realm to have participated in the Ranking Tournament, and furthermore, the first ever True Profound Realm participant to have charged into the finals!

And the other one was Xia Qingyue, who had revealed her true strength yesterday, defeated Ling Yun, and astonished everyone present. After yesterdays battle, she had become the Blue Wind Empires number one genius. Furthermore, she had replaced Ling Yun, and became the number one of the younger generation. In the future, she would definitely become a king class expert whose name would shake all of Blue Wind.

And Heavenly Sword Villa, which had always taken the leading role of this decisive battle in the past, had been reduced to mere spectators this time. Ling Yuefeng had arrived very early, but he just sat silently the entire time, and didnt say a word. Ling Yun, who had lost the fight yesterday, also appeared next to Ling Yuefeng. He was similarly silent, but his expression was very tranquil; at least on the surface, it seemed like he hadnt taken much of a blow from yesterdays loss.

Of course, it wasnt that he was too weak, but that his opponent was so powerful she completely exceeded everyones expectations.

Today, there were originally two battles scheduled in the Sword Discourse Arena. The first battle was the fight for the third and fourth places, but this fight had directly concluded when Ling Jie conceded the match in advance. Ling Yun, who had originally been expected to take first place, thus ranked third. Before the Ranking Tournament, everyone had made a great deal of predictions as to which competitors would become the top three, and the only unanimous prediction was that Ling Yun would take first place. If he hadnt gone through the fight with Xia Qingyue yesterday, no would ever think about or even believe this kind of conclusion.

... The final battle of the ranking tournament: Blue Wind Imperial Familys Yun Che, versus Frozen Cloud Asgards Xia Qingyue. May both contestants ascend the Sword Discourse Arena!

Ling Wugou declared loudly at the center of the Sword Discourse Arena.

Junior Brother Yun, good luck!

Brother-in-law, good luck!

Yun Che stood up, and suddenly asked to his side: Yuanba, do you hope that Ill win, or hope that your sister will win?

Eh... Xia Yuanba was stumped. He scratched his head, and said: If Brother-in-law wins, Ill certainly be happy, and if Big Sis wins, Ill definitely be happy as well. Having spoken to this point, Xia Yuanbas eyes suddenly began to sparkle: Waaah! Before, the Ranking Tournament could only appear in my dreams, but now Big Sis and Brother-in-law are competing for first place; its as if Im still inside a dream. However, if I had to compare the two of you... I still hope Brother-in-law will win.

Oh? Why? Yun Che asked with a faint smile.

This, this... because Big Sis is still a girl yknow, and is also Brother-in-laws wife. Being defeated by Brother-in-law seems a bit more reasonable. Xia Yuanba answered in a somewhat confused manner.

Hahahaha. Yun Che began to laugh. He reached out and patted Xia Yuanbas shoulder: Yuanba, well spoken. As a man, its not much if I lose to other people, but I definitely cant lose to my own wife!! So what if shes a tigress or a phoenix, I must firmly... Mn, ride her!!

Xia Yuanba stared wide and nodded blankly. Even though he hadnt completely digested Yun Ches words, he felt that they made a lot of sense.

This crooked reasoning by Yun Che made Cang Yue smile wryly, but she did not rebuke him. These words that were filled with arrogance and machismo ought to have sounded repulsive from a girls perspective; but coming from Yun Ches mouth, it didnt make her feel odd and repulsed. Instead, she had a fitting feeling that this belonged to a part of his disposition.

Under the gazes of several thousands of people, Yun Che walked to the center of the Sword Discourse Arena, and stood opposing Xia Qingyue.

The current Xia Qingyue had an ice veil covering her face, making him unable to see her features even though he was very close. However, that single fleeting glance yesterday, was already enough for him to carve it deep into his heart. The two silently faced each other... Other than the limited few, no one present would have thought that these two people who seemed to be completely unrelated, were actually a genuine husband and wife pair.

Recalling the bridal greeting, wedding, and sleeping together back then... At that time, she was the publically acknowledged beloved daughter of the heavens, and whats more, she had been accepted as a disciple of the Frozen Cloud Asgard even earlier. Yet, he was only a wastrel with crippled profound veins and no future who was looked down in contempt by everyone; the twos difference could be said to be as far as heaven and earth. But just with a short few days of interacting, Yun Che had already cracked a tiny little fissure in Xia Qingyues cold and indifferent heart. However, the unforeseen event that came right after, made them go on their separate ways earlier than expectations... When they met again, the trajectory and height of the twos lives, both had already turned upside down.

The her before was a beloved daughter of the heavens, and the dotings of thousands upon thousands of people concentrated on that one body. The her right now, was even more blessed countless times by the heavens, and stood on an unreachable plane that made peers of the same age exclaim in shock.

And in Xia Qingyues eyes, as if a miracle, that youth who was frail and weak yet had a resolute and profound gaze, and was even somewhat bold and audacious in front of her, actually grew into a enormous tree that reached the heavens in less than two short years. The him that time could only be oppressed by others and was driven out of his family in the end; yet the him now, could stand on this profound strength stage of the highest level in the Blue Wind Empire with pride, and declare his name at all of Blue Wind Empires peak experts.

It was like an inexplicable setup by fate; this pair of husband and wife that should by no means have crossed each other again, had nevertheless, simultaneously stood on this stage that represented the pinnacle. The other party, was their last opponent.

Qingyue, do you know why I participated in the Ranking Tournament this time? Yun Che opened his mouth first while looking into Xia Qingyues eyes, and asked while smiling faintly.

Without waiting for Xia Qingyue to inquire, Yun Che followed up: The first reason is to complete Senior Sister Xueruos dream. I have already accomplished this. As for the second reason...

Yun Che extended his right hand forward as a gray light flashed, and grasped onto the hilt of Dragon Fault. The tip of the sword, in which a fierce dragon was embedded, naturally drooped down, piercing the ground beneath him with a loud explosion. A gust of thick and domineering imposing force also surged and spread like waves in all directions.

Ill tell you after I defeat you!

The instant Dragon Fault was taken out, not in the least unexpected, the might of the Sky Profound sword awed the entire arena. In the Blue Wind Empire, it was well known that only seven Sky Profound weapons existed; this heavy sword, was actually a Sky Profound Weapon that had never before been seen!

This imposing force... is a Sky Profound Weapon! And a high-grade Sky Profound Weapon at that!

Such a Sky Profound Weapon actually exists in Blue Wind Empire, why havent I ever heard of it? Could it be that the Blue Wind Imperial Family has been concealing it this entire time?

It looks as if its still a heavy sword... A Sky Profound heavy sword, Im afraid even an expert at the Sky Profound Realm would find it difficult to control. Can he control it?

Sky... Sky Profound heavy sword? Ling Jie cried out in surprise, then clenched his teeth silently: No wonder he didnt want me to pay him for breaking that Earth Profound heavy sword. It turns out he actually has a Sky Profound heavy sword... In other words, he was still holding back in our fight yesterday, and didnt use all his strength... Mn? Father, what happened? Ah? Big Bro, your expression has also become really strange.

Father, doesnt it look like that sword? Ling Yun suddenly asked.

Ling Yuefeng didnt respond, and rapidly withdrew an ancient book of historical records from his spatial ring. He flipped through the first several pages of the historical records, and after his gaze halted for a moment, he raised his hand, looked at the enormous sword in Yun Ches hands, and said in a low voice: Based on the information weve received about Yun Che in the last few days, for some time before this, did he go to the Wasteland of Death, and spend an entire five months of time there before coming out?

That did indeed happen. Ling Yun nodded.

Looks like it cant be wrong. Ling Yuefeng closed the historical records and withdrew it into his spatial ring: Without a doubt, that sword is indeed Dragon Fault.
