Against The Gods
Chapter 18 – Silver Needle For Cold Release

Xiao Che was very clear about whether Xia Qingyue's profound strength was really at the tenth level of the Basic Profound Realm, but of course, Xiao Yulong did not know. Xia Qingyue was completely enraged and used at least seventy percent of her profound strength now. Looking at Xiao Yulong lying on the ground, he pulled out his palm and then nonchalantly said: "It seems like Young Master Xiao is not that great at exchanging pointers, please come back. ”

Lying on the ground, Xiao Yulong was dumbfounded .. He originally believed that with his third level of Nascent Profound Realm profound strength, taking advantage of Xia Qingyue would be as easy as reaching out with his hands. No matter what, he did not think that after meeting, he would end up on the ground with his entire body bruised and battered without any chance to react. He stared with wide shocked eyes at the two bloody incisors that fell to the ground in front of him.

Xiao Yulong immediately raised himself, his face twitching. He knew how tired and exhausted he was right now. It could be said that with his status as the young master of the Xiao Clan, he had never been in his entire life in such a miserable state. However, Young Master Xiao is still Young Master Xiao. She forcibly swallowed the blood in her mouth, her face revealing what could be considered a warm and elegant smile: "The tenth level Lady Xia of the power of the Profound Elementary Realm deserves her reputation. At that time I casually tested and somewhat underestimated you. So this time, Lady Xia should pay close attention. ”

With his two front teeth missing, Xiao Yulong's words were punctuated by the sound of whistling wind. After speaking, he had already raised his hand and mobilized all of his profound strength .. He naively believed that the reason he ended up at a loss right now was solely because he acted recklessly, whereas Xia Qingyue reacted mercilessly with all her strength. With the third level of the strength of the Nascent Profound Realm, how could he not handle the tenth level of Xia Qingyue's Profound Realm ?!

Xiao Yulong walked forward. Three steps later, both hands were simultaneously shot, trying to immediately wrap Xia Qingyue's arms. His actions caused Xia Qingyue to hate him even more. With all his patience exhausted, his right arm suddenly swung out, his red arm fluttering about. A gust of profound strength carrying a hint of ice-cold swept across Xiao Yulong's face.

This bit of profound strength did not carry a trace of the Frozen Cloud Arts, but it was still not something Xiao Yulong could handle.

With a voice *peng*, Xiao Yulong's right cheek slumped down and her entire body flew backwards. He spun in the air at least seven or eight times like a top before landing heavily outside the courtyard. Three bloody teeth were also released, two of which pierced Xiao Yulong's face.

"The pointer exchange is over, I won't see you coming out. '' Xia Qingyue did not even glance at him, her voice was like a cold elf.

Xiao Yulong's entire right face was red, as if it was dyed with blood. Right now, even if he was an idiot, he would still understand that his third level of newborn Profound Realm power was, from the start, not quite in front of Xia Qingyue. He held the throbbing part of his right face and gave Xia Qingyue a gaze dyed with a hint of terror. Taking a rough breath, he staggered away without a word.

Xiao Yulong had reached the hospital and was about to enter when he saw Xiao Che had just left, his left hand was holding a medicine pot and to his right, a package. After seeing Xiao Yulong, Xiao Che immediately greeted him warmly: “Brother Yulong, why did you come here? Aiya! Brother Yulong, your face ... what, what, what .... what happened? "

Seeing Xiao Che, Xiao Yulong clenched his teeth, gave a cold snort, and immediately rushed to the hospital. Before long, the astonished voice of the Xiao Clan's chief physician, Xiao Gu, could be heard from within. "Young master .. Who, who, who, who, who ... would dare to do something evil like this to you ?!"

"There is no harm done .. When I was in the back mountain training, I was not careful and fell down ..." Xiao Yulong's voice was clearly filled with pain. Of course he could not admit that his current condition was because he was given a lesson while trying to take advantage of Xia Qingyue.

"How could this not hurt to do ?! Your cheekbones have been partially crushed, you lost five teeth, and the other three were broken in half. Nothing can be re-grown … "

Xiao Che did not walk too far. The sounds that floated into his ears made a cold chill pierce his spine.

This woman ... her actions are too cruel!

The talc of the Killing Heart that had killed him most likely came from Xiao Yulong. Originally, Xiao Che had wanted to borrow Xia Qingyue's strength to teach him a little lesson .. but how could this be considered a lesson? It just hit him half dead!

Thinking about how he used his grandfather as a shield to lead him by hand in the morning, Xiao Che could only break out in a cold sweat.

When she returned to her own courtyard, Xia Qingyue calmly stood in the middle of the courtyard. Seeing him return, he nonchalantly spoke. “Xiao Yulong coming. ”

“Ah, yes, I know. I just saw him in the hospital. '' Xiao Che carefully looked at Xia Qingyue's expression before responding sensibly.

Xia Qingyue no longer paid attention to him. He lightly closed his eyes and a layer of cold air enveloped his body.

"Qingyue my wife, can I ask you a question?" Xiao Che opened his mouth to ask as he took a step forward.

"?" Xia Qingyue did not react at all.

"What level of profound strength are you really at?" In order to be able to force Xiao Yulong into such a miserable state, he must be at least at the fifth level of the Nascent Profound Realm! To be at the fifth level of the nascent Profound Realm at the age of sixteen .. if this were to be revealed, Floating Cloud City would completely explode.

Xia Qingyue still did not react at all. He seemed to have no intention of answering.

The neglected Xiao Che ignored the face full of darkness. Seeing Xia Qingyue's appearance, he had to secretly practice the exclusive profound technique of Frozen Cloud Asgard, Frozen Cloud Arts. He no longer speaks. After putting the objects in her hands on the ground, she leaned her body back, crossed her arms on her chest, and casually watched the peaceful Xia Qingyue.

He watched until a quarter of an hour had passed.

Xia Qingyue had generally stayed in her room in the past. While training in Frozen Cloud Arts, other than his master occasionally giving tips to him from the side, the rest of the time he was alone, there was absolutely no one else to bother him … not to mention a man who was fixedly watching her with both eyes.

Even though he was calmly standing there with his eyes closed, concentrating fully on his training with the Frozen Cloud Arts circulating all over his body, he could still feel Xiao Che standing there watching him. Moreover it was a constant gaze .. His gaze almost never left him even for a moment. That sharp gaze repeatedly swept through every part of his body, making him unable to completely calm his heart. Her entire body was uncomfortable.After all, she was still a sixteen year old girl. Expecting his heart to be truly like calm water was simply asking for too much.

"Waiting for you to voluntarily speak to me," Xiao Che replied innocently.

"……" Xia Qingyue had the urge to kill someone.

"* Cough cough* Actually, I have something very important to talk to you about. But I'm afraid of interrupting your training right now, so I have no choice but to wait. “Xiao Che got up, his expression was sincere.

"… What is it?" Xia Qingyue asked, greatly suppressing her anger.

“Uhm, like this. "Xiao Che's expression became serious. He took a few steps forward until he stood in front of Xia Qingyue, then confidently said: "This morning, when I held your hand ... ah, ah! D, d, don't do anything! I'm talking about serious business, serious business! ”After seeing Xia Qingyue suddenly reveal her killing intent, Xiao Che immediately took a few steps back, a look of caution appeared on his face … Seeing that Xia Qingyue was not, in fact, doing anything, Xiao Che heaved a sigh of relief and continued: “When I held your hand, I felt your pulse pass by and found a big problem. A very big problem. ”

Her words did not cause Xia Qingyue's gaze to waver in the slightest .. she did not believe him from the start.

Although he actually felt it measure his pulse when he guided him this morning, how could the man from the Xiao family who everyone in Floating Cloud City knew to be weak know anything about pulses?

Yet the following words of Xiao Che still caused Xia Qingyue to tremble slightly.

“Is it true that you wake up every day at three in the morning? And not only that, but over the next half hour, your entire body will be ice cold, and all four of your limbs will be sore. ”

Xia Qingyue's gaze wavered, subconsciously asking, "How did you know?"

Xiao Che continued to speak. "Also, after training in Floating Cloud Secret Arts, whenever your profound strength makes a breakthrough, in the next two or three days, it's not true that your entire body will be ice-cold, icy, your four limbs are sick, and you can't eat or sleep in peace? "

Xia Qingyue's gaze once again shook violently .. because what Xiao Che said was not wrong at all!

"Also ..." Xiao Che's legs moved straight towards the courtyard door. Not until half of his body was outside the door did he say with a serious face: “Last....umm..Ah ..point, wasn't it about seven or eight days late? "

Xia Qingyue, “！ @ # ￥% ....”.

Only when he did not sense the killing intent from Xia Qingyue did Xiao Che carefully walk back from the courtyard door: "Do you believe me now?"

"How do you know all this?" Xia Qingyue's brows drooped as she asked.

"From your tone!"

"Can you measure the pulse?"

"Do you believe me if I say I'm a miracle doctor?" Xiao Che asked with a sincere face.

"If you want to joke, then find your little aunt. '' Xia Qingyue glanced at him expressionlessly.

Of course, Xiao Che did not expect Xia Qingyue to believe him. It would be even stranger if he really believed her: “This is all a very serious symptom. You don't want to know how to treat them? "

"Not needed . "Xia Qingyue let out a cold voice:" The Frozen Cloud Arts was the exclusive profound technique of Frozen Cloud Asgard, refined yet never depleted. Once you start practicing the Frozen Cloud Arts, your entire body will have difficulty adjusting to the cold and more or less will show some negative side effects. In Frozen Cloud Asgard, this was common sense that all disciples knew. Even the master ancestors and ancestors experienced this. Once Frozen Cloud Arts had trained to some extent, these negative side effects would disappear completely on their own. ”

"Yes, yes, what you said is not wrong. '' Xiao Che nodded with deep consideration then said with a laugh, But I also finally understand why Frozen Cloud Asgard teaches to ban emotions and suppress desires … because even if the Frozen Cloud Asgard woman had a lover, they would still not be able to have children. If this were to leak out, it would be extremely dangerous for the prestige of Frozen Cloud Asgard. It was better to forbid the disciples of Frozen Cloud Asgard to look at the man and at the same time, protect this extremely shameful secret. ”

Xia Qingyue's brows suddenly tilted and her gaze suddenly turned cold. For the first time, she was really angry at Xiao Che: “Silence! I can tolerate your bullshit .. but I won't let you insult my school! If you continue with another half sentence of such a talk, then I will not forgive you! "

Now, the previously cautious and trembling Xiao Che did not show the slightest expression of fear. Instead, he faintly smiled and said casually: “Whether I am wrong or not, I know very well. I can also tell you .. The stronger the deep strength, the longer the life expectancy. However, from your pulse, I am absolutely certain that the life expectancy of your Frozen Cloud Asgard member is a third less than that of others with the same level of profound strength, if not more! ”

"Am I right or wrong?"

Xiao Che's words were like claps of thunder next to Xia Qingyue's ears and caused her two beautiful disciples to contract for a moment.
