Chapter 695: The Wedding III

Chapter 695: The Wedding III

?

Kyle let out the breath he was holding. It was unbelievable how such simple words had intertwined his and Yue's lives together eternally under the eyes of so many.

The old elf smiled and withdrew.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you both husband and wife."

Instantly, the surrounding crowd erupted into joyous applause, cheering loudly and showering the newlyweds with heartfelt congratulations and well-wishes.

The crowd grew even louder as Kyle grabbed Yue's waist and pulled her in for a kiss. The flowers falling from the Tree of Fate seemed to pause in their descent.

The moonlight shone brightly above the enchanting and joyous scene.

In that moment, Kyle's hold on Yue tightened as his eyes shifted to the man who had arrived on the scene a while ago.

Kyle had brushed off the man's presence earlier as he wanted to finish the wedding. Nonetheless, his gaze subtly gleamed with a mocking glint as he locked eyes with the man floating in the distance, whose golden eyes sparkled with amusement.

'I was wondering why everything was proceeding so smoothly when peace never lasts long in my life. I guess I will just enjoy the moment until that man is quiet...'

Yue wanted to step back when she noticed Kyle's sudden distraction, but he drew her closer and gazed into her eyes.

"Focus on me."

Yue's face flushed at his bold words. They were in front of a crowd, after all! However, when she caught the intensity in his gaze, her eyes widened as she instantly grasped his unspoken message these could be their final moments together.

She grabbed his collar and pulled him in for another kiss, causing their friends who had just climbed the platform to halt awkwardly in their tracks and avert their gaze.

The awkwardness on the platform shattered when suddenly wild laughter echoed in the distance, followed by the sounds of clapping hands. Everyone in the area was alerted because the laughter didn't blend with the surrounding noise; instead, it grew louder and louder.

The supreme rank individuals, including the elven Queen and her shadow, eyes widened as they saw the familiar man with golden eyes and long peach-colored hair, tied up in a high ponytail, floating in the distance.

Ceano stopped clapping when he noticed Kyle completely ignoring him.

"What a stunning sight. I originally came here to steal a piece of the Tree of Fate's core, but who could have imagined I would witness such a lovely wedding."

Instantly, Ronan and the supreme rank individual who had just guided Kyle and Yue through the wedding vows surrounded the second shadow general. The duo knew they couldn't defeat the man, especially when he was stronger, but considering that Kyle had injured him before, they could at least try to prevent him from harming their people.

Wesley's booming voice echoed across the area, grabbing the attention of all the elves.

"This is an order; all of you, evacuate this location immediately!"

He hovered next to the Queen and her guards with a solemn expression.

The elves in the vicinity were puzzled and startled by the sudden turn of events, but they followed Wesley's command without question and began to leave the area.

Amidst the fading crowd, a divine-rank elven man with green hair and brown eyes paused momentarily and glanced at Yue's figure one last time before letting out a sigh. Sebastian wiped his moist eyes.

"I guess I will give up on you now."

His elderly father, who had been with him, smacked his head and dragged him away. It was already a miracle that Sebastian lost in the Gladiator Arena and returned alive, and that the old man survived Kyle's beating!

Therefore, the two of them should remain as quiet as possible in Kyle's presence!

As the elves began to depart, the elven Queen and Wesley joined Ronan and the other supreme ranks to surround Ceano.

Ariana seized her weapon and fixed her gaze on the second shadow general.

"I know you are stronger, but you made a grave mistake by coming here alone. If you don't leave immediately, don't blame us for the consequences."

The elven Queen had heard what Ceano said earlier, and it only fueled her anger.

This bastard was here to steal a piece of the Tree of Fate's spritual core!

The core of the Tree of Fate held all its power and even its consciousness, and if anything happened to it, the tree would fall into a deep slumber until it recovered!

However, Ceano completely ignored the people around him. His eyes were fixed on Kyle, who wasn't even looking at him.

"That's a bit irritating. I thought he would at least greet me, considering our history. But he's busy talking with his bride."

He paused for a second.

"Should I kill her?"

His words had barely left his lips when every individual around Kyle shot furious glares at him, as if they would rip him to shreds if he ever dared to come near.

Ceano let out a chuckle. His eyes gleamed as he attempted to use one of his skills to send everyone around him flying.

However, his skill was consumed by the spiritual energy that erupted from the tree. The branches of the tree began to move to bind him, but he easily evaded them.

Ronan snickered at him.

"This is our territory. Do you really think you could have the upper hand here?"

Ceano simply tilted his head at his words and an artifact appeared in his hand.

"I thought so..."

The moment the supreme ranks laid their eyes on the artifact enveloped in pure dark energy, their eyes widened in shock.

Some of them had seen it before in the war, while others had only heard about it. It was an artifact capable of destroying everything on a large scale the moment it exploded!

Ronan lunged at Ceano with a curse.

"You bastard! How dare you?!"

However, he and everyone around him immediately froze when Ceano raised the artifact as if preparing to detonate it. Their hearts sank at the thought, knowing that if the artifact exploded, half of the planet would vanish in an instant!

Ceano wanted to mock them. It's true he wouldn't be able to destroy this planet with his strength in the presence of the Tree of Fate, but that doesn't mean he couldn't do it with a powerful artifact. He had many such artifacts with him; if one didn't work, he could always

use another!

He suddenly sensed a threatening gaze on him and turned around with a smirk, having finally captured Kyle's attention.

Kyle grabbed Yue's shoulder and let out a smile for a brief moment.

"I guess it's time to part. I'm sorry that I have to leave right after we got married." Yue smiled and sighed. She wasn't sure why he was leaving or where he was going when they needed to face Ceano, but she knew he surely had something on his mind, and it wasn't like Kyle could share it with her in their current situation.

"I've decided that I will join the war. Don't you dare forget that you have a wife now."

She grabbed her weapon, just like Alec and everyone else standing around her, ready to face Ceano alongside the elves, since they had all heard that Kyle would be leaving.

However, everyone's eyes widened as everything around them suddenly slowed down, causing their movements to freeze. Kyle vanished from his spot.

The elven Queen and the supreme-rank elves looked at Kyle, who appeared beside them momentarily and then disappeared toward Ceano, leaving behind a few words.

"Leave him to me."

Everyone was taken aback. The elven Queen glanced at Kyle's fading figure. She had the power

to control a natural law as well, so she wasn't affected much by Kyle, just like Ceano and her

shadow.

Nonetheless, even though she knew Kyle could manipulate the natural law of time, she never imagined his proficiency had reached such an extraordinary level!

Kyle's eyes flickered with coldness as he noticed the disbelief in Ceano's gaze.

It was no surprise, though; he was equally astonished that he could manipulate time around him for such an extended period.

He caught the golden-eyed man off guard by suddenly slowing down time and tried to grab Ceano's face. However, as anticipated, even though the man was taken by surprise, he leaped

back and easily evaded him.

Kyle sneered, having already foreseen Ceano's movement. He paused for a split second and watched as Ceano's figure was engulfed by the portal that had illuminated at the exact spot he

had jumped toward.

"That was easy."

With a chuckle, he also jumped into the portal that disintegrated into particles, leaving behind the stunned onlookers who could barely react, as everything happened too quickly for

them to stop anything.

There was complete silence for a few moments before Bia, who was floating beside Nox and cursing Kyle for seemingly forgetting her again, was also swallowed by a small portal that lit

up beneath her body.

Alec glanced at the small portal that disappeared with Bia and stabbed his weapon into the platform with a curse.

"That annoying jerk! We should have seen his intentions when he mentioned he was going to

leave!"
