Against The Gods
Chapter 100 – Fall

When Yun Che and Lan Xueruo suddenly jumped down like that, Xiao Zaihe was unfathomable. By the time he stopped the Fierce Storm Hawk, he was already unable to see their silhouettes.

“Hmph, they must be crazy! Even if it was me, I would be crushed into a pulp if I jumped down from this height. But the boy was struck by the Poison Fire Rod, so he was already doomed to die. ”

The land below looked like a vast wilderness area. In a calm atmosphere permeated the premonition of danger. He was certain that the two people who jumped down would definitely die, however, Yun Che took everything from the sect treasury so he might have an item with enough spatial capacity to hold all those stolen items. Yun Che's life or death didn't matter; what was more important was finding the treasures of his sect.

In the fastest possible speed, Xiao Zaihe instantly fell. As soon as he fell, he received a violent attack from a wild True Beast. He punched his palm to quickly eliminate it, but he did not expect that his attack would accidentally stab the beehive. A large group of True Deep Beasts began to roar from the surroundings, forcing him to have no other choice but to quickly flee in fear.

The wilderness stretches for hundreds of miles. For more than four hours, Xiao Zaihe searched like a fly without his head; yet he did not discover the slightest bit of their existence even after continuing to search until the sky turned extremely dark. The population of the profound ferocious beasts here was suddenly dense, and most of them had ferocious temperaments. Despite only searching for four hours, he had already suffered dozens of attacks. Included among them were even the profound lower level beasts of the Earth Profound. Although he managed to escape by relying on his Fierce Storm Hawk, his entire body was still covered in a layer of cold sweat.

The aggressive ferocious beasts in this area were abnormally dense. Enough time had passed for this aggressive ferocious beast to devour Yun Che's corpse until there was not a single speck left, which would make it impossible to find him. As he thought here, despite having a gloomy stomach, Xiao Zaihe had no choice but to give up his quest as he steered the Fierce Storm Hawk towards New Moon City.

————————————————

For Yun Che to let Lan Xueruo hug him and jump down together was definitely not an option out of desperation. Rather, it was because otherwise, they would definitely die at the hands of Xiao Zaihe. But if they jump, they will definitely survive.

Because there's Jasmine.

"Are you angry ?!" Yun Che's actions gave Jasmine a huge shock.

As his body quickly fell down, another soft and warm body firmly embraced him. However, he did not have the time to enjoy this kind of wonderful sensation. He raised his left hand and seven types of medicinal plants quickly appeared within the soft grasp of his palm. Under his light grip, the seven medicinal herbs turned into a single pill after being refined by the Sky Poison Pearl. He then slapped the medicinal pill into his mouth with great difficulty and swallowed it forcefully. After which, he finally spoke to Jasmine in a hurry: "Jasmine, you shouldn't try to save me! Or you'll die! For now, try lending me a portion of your strength; enough for me to use the Profound Floating Technique.

After killing the Fire Dragon, the powerful poison in Jasmine's body made her unable to use her strength for three months. However, if a small portion of his strength was lent to Yun Che without him personally releasing it, the rebound effect would definitely diminish quite a lot. Yet…

“Deep Floating Techniques? Do you not know that in order to use the Profound Floating Technique, your strength must be at least at the Sky Profound Realm! With your current body, how could it be possible for you to withstand this Profound Sky ability! If it is wrong, within a few moments of activation, your veins will immediately rupture! "

“Don't forget, my deepest veins are the Profound Veins of Evil Gods! I believe that they will not be destroyed so easily! Also, I don't need to use it for too long; just a few seconds right before we touch the ground is enough !! ”

Next to his ears, the sound of the wind became more and more acute. The scenery below them also rapidly enlarged at a faster speed. Lan Xueruo's eyes were tightly shut as her arms unconsciously tightened while holding Yun Che. This is not just for its protection, but more of a subconscious fear.

His consciousness loosened but Yun Che firmly left his eyes wide open as he focused on the scene below. The pressure of the attacking wind under his feet changed characteristically, meaning that he was already very close to the surface of the earth. In a few breaths, they would hit the ground hard.

"Darken!!!"

After shouting, he shouted in his mind, an incomparable great power began to charge into his deep veins …. It was an enormous power that made him feel like he could control space, and even a power strong enough to instantly explode his deep tone.

Yun Che opened his eyes wide and his eyes instantly sharpened. He began to release this great power unconditionally; some were sent against the airflow below, and other parts were made to protect the area around his body. Suddenly, as if they were caught by something, the speed of the fall and Lan Xueruo greatly decreased. It becomes slower, slower and slower …. But for this short time, even for the strength of the Sky Profound Realm, it was basically impossible for him to completely negate the excessive falling power. A moment before hitting the ground, their falling speed was still quite fast …. Yun Che clasped Lan Xueruo's arm without hesitation and forcefully pushed her soft body upwards.

Lan Xueruo immediately opened her eyes and saw the thin smile left on the corner of Yun Che's lips. However, the smile gradually faded into the distance before his eyes …. At that moment, he felt his heart was greatly affected by something warm yet bitter. He opened his lips, but it was too late to make a sound.

Bang !!!

"Junior Brother Yun !!"

Only after the entire four breaths of Yun Che's fall did Lan Xueruo finally reach the ground. When he pushed Lan Xueruo, her strength was extremely gentle but unexpectedly long. It was like a gentle yet irresistible wave of wind that gradually slowed down its descent; gentle to such an extent that about ten meters from the ground, he was completely floating in the air. When he fell, it was like falling from a height of ten meters.

At that height, it was basically impossible for him to suffer any damage. Lan Xueruo landed very smoothly on her feet and then rushed towards Yun Che as if she was going crazy. Upon seeing the terrifying giant crater below him and the crack in the ground that extended over ten meters, his tears frantically spilled out.

"Junior Brother Yun! Junior Brother Yun …. Junior Brother Yun !! ”

Lan Xueruo knelt next to Yun Che's body and exclaimed to him. She, who had not shed a single tear for more than ten years, was now completely in tears. Her tears flowed like a flood and quickly covered her entire face. Even though she forcibly covered her lips, she was still unable to endure the sound of her crying no matter what.

He had told Qin Wuyou before, that Yun Che would be someone who viewed honor and friendship with great importance. If he was helped during difficult times, he would definitely return the favor. At the very least, he would not refuse his request when that time came. In front of the Outer Sect of Xiao Sect, he had indeed saved her using her contracted spirit beast to escape the pursuit of Xiao Zaihe. However, he never expected that he would return the favor in such a spirited and resolute manner; that he would desperately protect her using his body and life twice in a row.

In this world, there were many people who were kind to him, and also many more who desperately tried to please him. But from her teenage years to adulthood, she had seen quite a lot of feelings, seen quite a lot of insincerity and callousness, seen quite a lot of swords in sweet words and creepy ambitions…. Among them even included his closest family members. He was discouraged from time to time; several times, almost to the point of despair. Otherwise, he would not have left home to move through the seven Profound Palaces in two years, all to find the slightest trace of hope.

His warm and gentle treatment of others was due to his nature. But he, who had suffered from too much apathy and trauma, never opened his heart to anyone. Whenever he talked and laughed with people, the inside of his heart was actually thousands of miles away.

He would never have expected that in this world, there would be someone who, at the most dangerous times, was willing to give up his life to guard his front. At the very least, his family would not do so, and neither would they be flattered and try to please him …

But Yun Che, this little junior that he was trying to find, made the depths of his heart flutter, making his tears fall like rain. He also made her understand for the first time in her life, that in this world, there really was someone willing to protect her using her life …. And on top of that, twice.

However, he probably understood it a bit too late; because at the right moment he understood that, this person very likely would never wake up again. Such a terrifying fall was absolutely impossible for someone who only had the profound strength of the nascent Profound Realm to endure. The only result is death.

Lan Xueruo's heart was shattered with terrible pain and her tears completely blurred her vision. In her distress, she did not realize that even though the impact of Yun Che destroying the huge crater and so many cracks in the ground, there were actually no signs of any accumulation of blood under her body.

Amidst her cries, she suddenly felt a warm touch in her palm. At that moment, as if she was struck by electricity, her entire body trembled as she suddenly widened her beautiful eyes. Through his still blurred vision, he saw Yun Che slowly opening his eyes. Because she was crying too sadly, her face was spent completely crying but she looked at him and gently smiled. His hand was right in his palm, which told him that he was not dead.

"Junior Brother Yun …. '' Lan Xueruo suddenly felt as if she had suddenly left hell and entered heaven. Under such a great shock, even his voice became indistinctly erratic: "You ... Are you okay?"

"Early …. I am indeed dead. '' Yun Che slightly moved his lips and spoke in a hoarse and weak voice. But that thin smile on the corner of his lips was not lacking in talent as usual: it was: “But tell me that there was a beautiful and kind girl who cried so sad because of my death that even she could not watch anymore. , so she ... sent me back …. ”

On the cross of sadness and surprise, Lan Xueruo did not know whether she should cry or smile. Rather embarrassed, he wiped away the tears on his face and tried very hard to make a reproachful expression. However, this reproachful expression was like a pear flower after rain and was very touching and moving: “You are already in this state, however … yet you still do not forget to be shameless without being timid. In the future, who knows how many girls this will harm your mouth. ”

"Hehe… . "Yun Che laughed. As he laughed, his wound was affected and his pain caused his eyebrows to spasm, “Then, could it be …. ”

From the day they first met until now, Lan Xueruo and Yun Che had not held many conversations between them. In addition, most of their conversations consisted of slightly seductive jokes. He was already used to hearing such words from his mouth and he would think that it was funny or interesting. But this time, he suddenly felt an inexplicable and inexplicable throbbing coming from somewhere in the depths of his heart. He moved his lips and was just about to speak, but discovered that Yun Che had already closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
