Against The Gods
Chapter 40 –Jasmine Soaked Chapter 2

Although the Cyan Forest Town shops were few in number, they still had all the necessities. Knitting his brows tightly, Yun Che sped up his pace, and immediately turned into the apothecary on the right.

"Storekeeper, are there Purple Lantern Flowers and Iron Sand Vines?" Yun Che said immediately after entering the apothecary, and at the same time quickly scanned the apothecary with his eyes.

At first glance, the pharmacy shopkeeper looked like a lethargic and bored middle-aged man. The medicinal herbs Yun Che requested were also the most common medicinal herbs. Purple Lantern Flowers could eliminate colds and the Iron Sand Vines could be refined into the lowest level Profound Recovery Pellets; both of them could be found anywhere and were extremely cheap. The shopkeeper weakly replied: "There, how much do you want?"

"A quarter kilo each!" Yun Che said in a hurry.

The shopkeeper was ready to wrap the medicine, and threw it at him: "Twenty Yellow Profound Coins at all. ”

【Note Author: The Profound Currency of the Sky Continent is divided into three types: Yellow Profound Coins, Cyan Profound Coins, and Purple Profound Coins. 1 Purple Profound Coin \= 100 Cyan Profound Coin \= 10000 Yellow Profound Coins. Profound Coin Value Reference: The average annual income of a Sky Profound Continent household is around 30000 Yellow Profound Coins, or 3 Purple】 Profound Coins

Placing the Profound Coins on the table, Yun Che rushed away; without stopping, he headed towards the South Exit of the city.

Xiao Ba, who had now discovered his silhouette, did not rush to attack but instead trailed behind him with no expression on his face.

The exit of Cyan Forest Town quickly appeared in front of them. To the south of Cyan Forest Town was a vast mountain vein, the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range. These mountains were inhabited by various deep beasts, making them extremely dangerous. Even the Cyan City military units and practitioners who practiced in the depths, known for their strength, only dared to move in the outermost part of the mountains. When one went deeper into the mountains, high-level beasts would be encountered and this often ended in narrow escapes. The reason why the mountain was named after the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, was because in the middle of the mountain vein lived an enormous flame that exhaled the Great Fire Dragon, thus giving it that name.

However it was only in the legends and no one had actually seen it before. Dragons were at the peak of deep ferocious beasts, so even the lowest leveled dragons were extremely powerful. And if they really existed, there was no chance of survival after seeing them.

Stepping into the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Yun Che slowly inhaled, hugging the two bags of medicine he bought from the apothecary to his chest with his right hand, and covered the medicine with his left hand as the Sky Poison Pearl radiated. As Yun Che took off his left hand, what was left in his palm was just a small pile of purple-black powder.

The Purple Lantern Flower did not have any toxic properties, and so did the Iron Sand Vine, so there would be no toxic response even if the two were consumed together. Even if it was poisonous, the effects of normal poison would only be very small against powerful people who had reached the Spirit Profound Realm; or might even have no effect at all.

However, the powder made by combining certain components of the Purple Lantern Flower and the Iron Sand Wine together, had properties that greatly irritated the eyes. If touched by the eyes, no matter how strong one's strength was, they would still lose sight temporarily.

Grasping a handful of this powder, Yun Che slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Ba, who was not even ten steps away from him, who appeared like a ghost without a presence.

Xiao Ba became a little surprised when Yun Che could notice him. He looked at Yun Che with scorn, and coldly said, "You're called Xiao Che, right? Good thing for whatever was expelled from the Xiao Clan! ”

"No, I'm named Yun Che!" Yun Che casually looked back at her. There was not the slightest bit of fear on this face.

"Hmmm!" Xiao Ba was not really interested in his name, nor did he react to Yun Che's casual movements, as dealing with the damaged super trash with deep veins was not something he even needed to think about: "I've got an order from my young master to escort you to meet your maker! In your next life, remember not to provoke people you cannot afford to offend! "(TL: original said meet Yama, the king of Chinese hell)

As his voice faded, a short blade had already appeared in Xiao Ba's hand. He then swung his right hand, and his blade flew towards him with Yun Che with the sound of space being torn apart…. Xiao Kuangyun wanted him to vilify Yun Che's face and cut his tongue, but he clearly did not have the patience to waste so much time and energy on a complete trash like him. He was too lazy to touch Yun Che at all, so he simply threw out a knife and aimed it straight at the throat.

When Xiao Ba suddenly took out a short knife, Yun Che's brows trembled violently, and when Xiao Ba swung his right arm, his heart finally dropped …. He had prepared Xiao Ba to rush forward and slap him, but he did not expect that someone who had reached the Profound Spirit Realm of the Xiao Sect would actually use a weapon against a worthless person like him! And even kill him using a throwing knife!

With the extremely insignificant profound strength in his body, how could he avoid the throwing knives thrown by powerful beings who had reached the Spirit Profound Realm?

Is this Xiao Ba personality crooked? He was actually acting offbeat from the logic of a normal person! Even using a weapon to kill someone who has absolutely no great power like me; wouldn't he be embarrassed if others found out about this? … Yun Che mercilessly cursed in his heart. As the sword reflected in his pupils drew closer, his consciousness immediately tried to dodge it by reflex, but his slow body had no chance to dodge it at all….

Just as the blade was about to cut Yun Che's throat, a red shadow shot out from Yun Che's body like a bolt of lightning, and shot towards Xiao Ba ….

Hisssss ~~~

The short blade did not pierce Yun Che's throat and simply disappeared from his sight! But now behind Xiao Ba's body, there was the addition of a petite silhouette. He turned his back to Yun Che; wearing a white piece, he revealed a shins and bare feet that were as beautiful as jade. As her red hair spread to her waist, this dazzling allure was unparalleled.

And in his right hand, it was clearly the short sword that Xiao Ba shot at him!

Xiao Ba still maintained the same posture as when he threw the short sword, his entire body frozen as before. In a terrible silence, he did not turn around, his expression and movements also did not change at all, as if he was suspended in time. The only change was that his students contracted with the size of the needle eyes, as if at that moment, he was looking at the most terrifying scene in the world ….

As a refreshing gust of wind swept by, Xiao Ba's upright body was suddenly shattered apart by a gentle breeze! It collapsed, like the collapse of a pile of toy building blocks that fell one block at a time, to become a pool of blood and countless small pieces that were dismembered.

As the wind blew into Yun Che's face, it brought back the pungent scent of blood. His whole body was petrified in place. When he looked at the back of the girl, his students contracted violently, and could not breathe at all. Even his heartbeat almost completely stopped.

His red clothes and hair revealed to him that this was clearly the girl he had met that night in the back mountains, who had also entered into the Sky Poison Pearl. However, after going to the Sky Poison Pearl, he had always slept unknowingly .. But now, he woke up, leaving the Sky Poison Pearl alone, alone, and showed him the most terrifying scene he had ever witnessed in the Profound Sky Continent.

In just that instant, there was no doubt that this girl was able to take the knife that almost pierced her throat, rushed towards Xiao Ba, and killed him … The entire process could only be seen as a flash of red light that lasted for an unreasonable amount of time.a short ticking of time .. Xiao Ba's body was entirely chopped up, and to be dismantled into such a state, and to be disassembled into such a state, will at least take over hundreds of attacks ….

In other words, this girl had not only intercepted the blade that had almost taken her life just a moment ago, but had also used the same blade and slashed Xiao Ba at least several hundred times !!

Is ... Is this even an ability that a little girl has?

Nah! Is this even a realm that “human” can reach? !!

Dong!

"Opuuu …. ”

During Yun Che's extreme shock state, the girl's short blade suddenly fell to the ground, and she let out a painful groan that could usually be heard from the small beast. Right after, his entire body slowly took a squatting position to the ground, and his tiny body shivered slightly, as if bathing in an icy cold gust….

"This hateful Absolute God Killer Poison .. How could I, the princess ... experience ... Rebound ... when only using this level of power .. Uuuu …. "Yun Che carefully walked two steps closer, and every time his gaze fell into a pool of blood, his heart would feel cold! Xiao Ba was from the Xiao Sect, so his true strength was at least at a lower level of the Spirit Profound Realm! Most likely there was almost no one in Floating Cloud City who could match her; yet this girl had instantly killed her in an instant! (TL: I, the princess – How to talk arrogantly where someone calls themselves someone important. She may or may not be a real princess. Similar to Japanese "seed. If in English, it will only be "I" .. can translate this phrase into this princess or I * next time)

This girl seems to be twelve or thirteen years old! At this age, even reaching the Basic Profound Realm would be rare. Xia Qingyue who reached the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm at the age of sixteen was already considered the number one genius in the entire city, but this girl ……

This was the first time, since arriving at this Profound Sky Continent, Yun Che was completely shocked for the first time. Because when he saw the scene before his eyes, it completely exceeded his fear!

Yun Che took a heavy deep breath, tried to calm down with difficulty, clenched his teeth, and finally spoke: "Little girl, you?"

Hearing Yun Che's voice, the girl's body stopped shivering. He slowly stood up, turned around, and showed his face that was as smooth as a puppet. Although this immature and gentle face and was extremely beautiful, it now had a clear expression of pain. He looked at Yun Che, and spoke in a cold but ice-cold tone: "How unbelievable, the Sky Poison Pearl will actually choose a useless commoner like you as its master! Don't tell me that the spirituality of this Profound Heavenly Treasure has become distorted?

In fact, this was the first time Yun Che had seen face to face. Even though he had visited her many times each day in the Sky Poison Pearl, the moment he looked at her again now, Yun Che was still unable to avert his gaze. This was because of the extreme beauty of the girl, she was pretty enough to be able to steal souls. Every feature on his snow-like face was extremely smooth and perfect; moreover, he reached an indescribable peak of perfection.

His eyes were sparkling and translucent like precious black gemstones, but also as deep as the night sky. From his eyes, Yun Che saw a kind of arrogance …. Yet this grandeur was not at all like the absurd and arrogant arrogance of Xiao Kuangyun who was abusing authority, but the indifference emanating from the soul; as if before his eyes, it was, every spirit in this world is all, without exception, just a big ant, while every living thing in this world is comparable to dust that is not as important as dust.

………………………………

Cyan Forest Town, inside the inn.

All appetizers and side dishes had been served, yet Xiao Ba still had not returned.

Xiao Kuangyun started to feel uneasy, and cold snorted: “Against a piece of trash, he actually wasted this much time. Hmph, maybe he got lost in this strange place? Xiao Jiu, look. ”

"Yes, Young Master!" Xiao Jiu received the order and immediately stood up to walk out of the inn, to then walk towards the direction that Xiao Ba had gone before.
