Chapter 939: Cao Tian: Too Spineless

~8 min read 1,557 words

"Daoist Friend Cao!"

At the same time, Xuan Che's anxious voice came again.

Cao Tian snapped back to his senses, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and accelerated as he flew toward the battlefield.

Ye Lingyun's identity was special; killing him would be a great merit.

Even without considering war merit.

The fact that this bastard Ye Lingyun had plotted against him outside Wenxian City could never be let go just like that.

This grudge must be avenged.

What's more.

While gaining war merit and revenge, he could also gain a favor from Xuan Che.

It could be called killing three birds with one stone.

Why not do it?

As Cao Tian approached rapidly.

Ye Lingyun seemed somewhat guilty; he frowned and struck, forcing Cao Tian back.

Holding Kong Yu in his arms, he retreated rapidly.

It seemed as if he was about to flee.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Seeing this, Xuan Che hurriedly chased after him, entangling him tightly.

While the two were entangled, Cao Tian had already arrived.

"Ye Lingyun, I didn't expect you to have survived in that Flame World!"

Before Cao Tian had even arrived, his cold voice had already carried over.

Ye Lingyun's gaze flickered.

It seemed he had thought of something.

A look of hatred suddenly surged into his eyes as he looked at Cao Tian, "It's you!"

"You hunted me down and forced me into a desperate situation; I will definitely avenge this grudge one day!"

"Want revenge?"

Cao Tian sneered, "That's only if you have the chance to escape with your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed a finger.

A Fire Python condensed and roared as it charged toward Ye Lingyun.

This person is Ye Lingyun?

Xuan Che's expression tightened.

Regarding Ye Lingyun, this Array Path Monster of the Immortal Abandoned Land, he had only heard of him in rumors before; this was his first time seeing him.

For an Array Master, his combat ability was actually this formidable.

Truly extraordinary!

He quickly regained his focus.

Seeing an opportunity, he attacked Ye Lingyun together with Cao Tian.

Boom!

The two attacks landed simultaneously.

Ye Lingyun flew backward in a sorry state, his face turning pale.

Seeing this, Xuan Che and Cao Tian did not give Ye Lingyun the slightest chance to catch his breath.

Taking advantage of Ye Lingyun being unable to control his body, they chased after him.

They were about to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Lingyun.

However, just as the two reached the halfway point, a ray of Spirit Light suddenly shot into the sky, blocking their path like a wall.

Their expressions tightened, and dazzling Spirit Light simultaneously erupted from their bodies.

Bang! Bang!

The next moment.

Both were rebounded back at the same time.

After stabilizing their figures, the two looked around.

A light screen had already enveloped them, and the "wall" in front of them was precisely one boundary of the light screen.

"This is~"

"An Array!"

The two frowned.

"While you were fighting me, you actually secretly set up an Array here!"

After coming to his senses, Xuan Che looked at Ye Lingyun, his expression turning gloomy.

Ye Lingyun smiled, "Better safe than sorry; how could I not be careful and cautious when fighting you Out-of-Boundary Cultivators?"

Xuan Che's expression tightened, his face becoming even uglier.

He had almost never suffered a loss when fighting his peers.

Except for the fallen Wang Daniu, the Demoness, and Wan Guiyuan, this Ye Lingyun was the fourth peer Cultivator to make him suffer!

"You two take your time breaking the Array."

"I have a beauty in my arms and urgent matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you further."

Ye Lingyun looked at the two figures inside the Array light screen, chuckled, and turned to flee.

When Xuan Che came back to his senses, he discovered that Ye Lingyun had already taken Kong Yu and moved rapidly away.

Thinking of Ye Lingyun's meaningful smile, his complexion turned from green to purple.

His fists clenched tightly.

"Bastard!"

The next moment, he immediately regained his composure and looked at Cao Tian, "Daoist Friend Cao, let us join forces and break this Formation quickly!"

Cao Tian nodded.

Afterwards, the two began to attack the Array light screen together.

After a series of attacks, the Array light screen shattered.

The two escaped from the Array and pursued in the direction Ye Lingyun had fled for a while, but they did not find the slightest trace of Ye Lingyun.

"Daoist Friend Xuan, it seems that Ye Lingyun has already escaped."

Cao Tian sighed.

Xuan Che's expression was ugly, and he remained silent.

Cao Tian looked at Xuan Che and, after hesitating for a moment, said, "Daoist Friend Xuan, what is your relationship with the woman who was abducted by Ye Lingyun?"

Xuan Che looked at Cao Tian.

He gritted his teeth and did not respond.

Seeing this, Cao Tian pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "You two... you aren't a couple, are you?"

Xuan Che's expression stalled, and his complexion became even uglier.

Seeing this, Cao Tian knew he had guessed correctly.

He sighed and revealed a look of consolation, "Daoist Friend Xuan, a great man need not worry about having no wife; at worst, you can just find another."

Xuan Che's complexion turned completely black, "Daoist Friend Cao, can you shut up?"

Cao Tian sighed, "I didn't expect Daoist Friend Xuan to be so sentimental and righteous. As for shoes, they can actually still be worn even if they are a bit broken~~ cough cough, what I mean is, as long as the affection is deep, it doesn't matter if they are a bit broken~~ cough cough, Daoist Friend Xuan, I just wanted to comfort you, there's no need to harbor murderous intent, right?"

Xuan Che took a deep breath, unable to endure any longer.

"Enough!"

……

In the time that followed, Xuan Che did not return directly to the main force's stronghold.

Instead, he cautiously searched the surrounding area for traces of Ye Lingyun.

This place was a long distance from Wenxian City; Ye Lingyun had just experienced a great battle and could not have returned directly, so he must be looking for a place to rest nearby.

This was his only chance to take back Yu'er.

While Xuan Che was searching anxiously.

Ye Lingyun had already taken Kong Yu and descended into a large mountain.

Until five days later.

With a face carrying three parts exhaustion, three parts humiliation, and four parts confusion, Kong Yu flew toward the place where the Outside the Realm team was stationed.

Ye Lingyun had actually not killed her!

Although she was not clear on what Ye Lingyun was thinking, she knew well the principle that as long as the green hills remain, one need not worry about firewood.

After gaining her freedom, she did not immediately seek to fight Ye Lingyun to the death, but instead decisively moved far away.

As long as she kept her life, there would always be a chance for revenge.

Not long after she left the mountain range, she encountered Xuan Che, who had been continuously searching for her.

"Yu'er!"

Seeing Kong Yu from afar, Xuan Che's face revealed joy.

His figure flashed, and he appeared beside Kong Yu, "Yu'er, you actually escaped; that is wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Kong Yu nodded silently.

Noticing Kong Yu's expression, Xuan Che frowned.

Immediately, as if realizing something, his figure swayed, "Yu'er, you~~"

Kong Yu looked at Xuan Che and said indifferently, "If Brother Xuan Che finds it distasteful, we can just go our separate ways from now on."

Xuan Che's expression stalled, "Yu'er, you misunderstood; I was just worried about you."

"You know me; Wang Daniu and Wan Guiyuan have both come over, and it was just an extra Ye Lingyun, so how could I possibly give you up because of that?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Yu's gaze, which had been fixed on Xuan Che, dropped and lost its focus.

She did not know what she was thinking.

Xuan Che looked at Kong Yu and said cautiously, "Yu'er, do you know where Ye Lingyun is? I will go take revenge for you."

Kong Yu's eyes flashed, and she shook her head, "After Ye Lingyun let me go for no apparent reason, he left, and I don't know where he went either."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Che did not doubt it.

A flash of unwillingness crossed his face, but after a moment, he took a deep breath, and his expression gradually returned to calm, "Yu'er, let us go meet up with the main force first."

Kong Yu nodded.

Afterwards, the two flew toward the distance and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

After the two left.

Cao Tian flashed into view.

He looked at the direction in which Kong Yu and Xuan Che had disappeared and let out a mocking laugh.

This Xuan Che was truly weak and incompetent.

If Kong Yu were replaced by Yuwei.

Even if he had to risk his life, he would definitely pursue and kill until Wenxian City to chop off that Ye Lingyun's dog head.

And he would not suffer in silence like Xuan Che.

It was too spineless.

He sneered once more, his figure flashed, and he vanished from sight.
