Chapter 369 - 369 | Wang Yao's Revelation
Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but have cold sweat behind his back when he thought of how powerless he was in front of Wang Yao, even though the difference between their cultivation wasn't much.
'He's clearly using something, or else there was no way he could have suppressed my Sword Intent with just a snap of his finger.'
His Sword Intent had decimated a Peak Core Formation Realm cultivator, yet it took Wang Yao one snapping of his finger to suppress the Sword Domain.
There was no way Wang Yao had accomplished this just with his cultivation realm alone.
There had to be something that Wang Yao was hiding or something that Ye Tian Yun had missed.
...
While Ye Tian Yun was analyzing the situation, Wang Yao was distracted by Duan Ming and Yuan Shuchun.
Surprisingly in a few exchange of words, Wang Yao had gone from 'I will spare you out of respect for Xiao Ming' to -
"Yuan Shuchun, you are one stupid girl. You claim yourself to be one of the most talented and intelligent cultivators of your generation, yet you couldn't see through a simple scheme played in front of your own eyes."
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shuchun asked.
"The Xiao Ming that you love so much… well, spoiler alert, he's not into you, but rather after something that you possess." Wang Yao replied with a smug face.
"What is it?" Yuan Shuchun asked.
Surprisingly her expression was calm!
Even Wang Yao didn't expect this. He thought Yuan Shuchun would shout, 'I don't believe your bullshit.'
"Well," Wang Yao glanced at unconscious Xiao Ming and said, "He wants the black book. The book that contains the Arcane Path Cultivation Methods."
"Hmm," Yuan Shuchun gave a slight nod.
Her expression was still calm, as if she wasn't affected by the truth behind Xiao Ming's false love for her.
This confused Wang Yao, "You already know all this?"
Yuan Shuchun took a deep breath and replied, "I knew it since the day I first saw him at the banquet. I did an intensive background check on him and knew it would be impossible for him to fall for someone he just saw for a single time. Taking into account the fact that I was awarding the Arcane Path Cultivation manual in the banquet, I had my doubts regarding him."
"Oh," Wang Yao had a bored expression on his face, "I guess I won't get to see any drama here… so what's your use?"
*snap!*
"Young Miss!" Peak Master Duan, who was already on guard, immediately took Yuan Shuchun's hand and pulled her behind him.
"It doesn't matter," Wang Yao shook his head.
As soon as Wang Yao finished his words, Peak Master Duan suddenly began to feel churning in his heart, and his chest suddenly began to expand!
Before he could understand what was happening -
*boom!*
Peak Master Duan exploded!
…
A few seconds ago.
Ye Tian Yun was quite surprised at Yuan Shuchun's work on Xiao Ming.
'I guess this is the reason why she survived in my previous life.'
Glancing at the unconscious Xiao Ming, Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but clench his fists.
He was so close to his goal, and the person who stopped him was simply an untouchable existence for him.
How was he going to defeat Wang Yao and get the Token Of Fate from him?
For the first time since his rebirth, he simply couldn't see a way out.
'What to do? What to do? What to do?'
He even tried to think about escaping this place. After all, as long as he was alive, he would be able to have his revenge.
But then, seeing how nonchalant Wang Yao was and how much Wang Yao knew about him, it was clear that Wang Yao wouldn't need to put any effort to catch him.
Suddenly he thought of the one thing that could be of help in this situation -
'System! Do you have anything?'
No reply came.
'System?' Ye Tian Yun was confused. The System usually liked to prompt the message of denial. Why was it suddenly silent?
'System you there? At least give me a hint to get out of this situation? Should I use my father's token? Should I release array bombs? What about the Nine Heavens Painting? Is there any way to get out of this?'
No matter how many times Ye Tian Yun called the system, there was no reply from it.
Just then -
"Young Miss!!" He heard Peak Master Duan's shout.
Before he could understand what was going on -
Peak Master Duan exploded!
But the main problem was, Peak Master Duan wasn't a normal person.
He was a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
A huge amount of Qi was stored in him, injected in all his cells, and as his body exploded, a Qi-explosion took place, and like a nuclear bomb, it suddenly created a huge ball of fire!
The impact suddenly destroyed anything in its vicinity - be it a cultivator, mortal, or just a simple building.
One-fourth of the city was suddenly destroyed, killing thousands of people who had been either hiding or were simply unaware of such a huge incident taking place in the city.
The explosion shook the whole city and brought everyone's attention towards it.
A few people ran away, but many wanted to witness its cause.
They began to head towards its source.
Just as they were about to reach -
*BOOM!*
Another explosion shook the place, and half of the people who came to look got charred or crushed under the debris!
This scene made everyone else remaining scared of their lives and ran away.
Witnessing the scene, Wang Yao smiled, "I like to double-check."
Looking around, Wang Yao found himself in the debris, with no signs of life around him.
There was no Yuan Shuchun, no Peak Master, or no Ye Tian Yun.
The two huge explosions that had shocked the city had also changed the lives of these three.
Just then -
Wang Yao raised his head to stare at the horizon; he could feel two very powerful incoming auras.
"Well, those are some familiar auras. But I can't reveal myself in this state. I am still not done with my work here."
A circular portal appeared and swiftly moved towards Wang Yao.
As soon as it crossed him, Wang Yao disappeared from the scene.
