Chapter 566: Unbelievable!

No one knew where the voice had come from. It could have emanated from above the sky, maybe from under the ground and perhaps from the bottom of the heart; it also seemed to be in one’s subconscious mind, perhaps deep down in one’s very soul…

All in all, the three of them heard it very clearly!

Besides the mysterious resonance, they could distinctly feel the anger, frustration, helplessness, and even hysterical reluctance laced within the voice. It contained no shortage of complex emotions, but the three of them could plainly tell them apart within that short flash of time.

Then…

“Bang!”

It was the sound of the man in black’s palm strike landing harshly on Ji Lingxi.

Ji Lingxi let out a low grunt while Yun Yang felt the aftermath of the powerful blow simultaneously. Both of them closed their eyes at the same time, knowing that they would definitely die; there was simply no chance of escape.

Just as Yun Yang shut his eyes, he caught a glimpse of something right before his eyelids met each other, so he forcefully opened them in a hurry. It was forceful was because the speed of Yun Yang peeling his eyes open was extremely rushed, caused predominantly by his astonishment.

What happened next was another boom, the sound of an incredibly loud collision.

Yun Yang was dumbfounded; his jaw dropped down like a dummy. Oddly enough, grief still seemed to elude.

He had clearly seen a beam of red light surge from Ji Lingxi the moment she was fatally attacked. It was the same beam of red light that had flung him away the other day!

The red light had only flared into existence when the man in black’s palm landed right on it. Then, there was that deafening bang. Was Ji Lingxi all right? Perhaps she had not perished from the blow?

Yun Yang had witnessed it with his own eyes and he hoped for the thought to come true; the reality was right before his eyes as well. Yet he dared not believe it – he could not, as it was practically unbelievable!

What sort of a situation was this?

Splat!

The man dressed in black suddenly convulsed and spat out blood, exclaiming, “You – you, you…”

Then, the man in black, who appeared to be invincible, standing above the rest of the world as he descended from the sky, had bounced back up oddly; his spine arched backward while his limbs hung out in front of him. It was in this position that he flew towards a higher altitude, like a cannonball.

Yun Yang could tell that there was visible shock splayed across the man’s face. It was an extreme fear of the unknown!

The shocked expression drew farther, becoming a small, black, dot in the sky within the time it took to snap one’s fingers. A trail of blue flame sparked where the tiny black dot passed, evidence that the high speed of the moving black dot had caused the air to combust from the friction.

That was fast indeed.

Yun Yang was now shocked as well, confusion thrown into the mixture.

What was going on?

‘Weren’t you here to kill me? Did You think that I didn’t see that brimming, killing, intent just now?’

‘Why are you leaving in such a hurry, at this incredible speed? You… what are you trying to do?’

Quicker than words could describe, the tiny, black, dot in the sky accelerated and disappeared, leaving behind absolutely no trace as Yun Yang continued to ponder.

Yun Yang was empty of thought as he hugged Ji Lingxi. Countless amplified question marks invaded his head. No matter how intelligent he was, he was still utterly bewildered by series of bizarre events that had just taken place!

‘This man in black has a formidable aura and his cultivation base is something I can hardly compare to. There was also the brimming animosity as he descended that gave away his ill intentions. I believe that the entire assembly of Tiantang City’s experts could not have survived that annihilating blow of his earlier!’

‘You have to give it to him. It was no mean feat to spring back into the sky in such a difficult and awkward position yet he could unleash such an incredible speed; his cultivation base is certainly intimidating. Based on his ascent into high altitude and the perceptible speed of his disappearance, I’m afraid that he is even more skilled than Ling Xiaozui!’

‘Could this person be the rightful Unrivaled Expert instead?’

Yun Yang thought quietly to himself.

‘Then why did he leave? The murderous intent was real; it was neither a trick nor a pretense. What was this entire episode for? It just doesn’t add up, it’s unbelievable!’

‘Still, what is most fortunate is that Lingxi is unhurt… Odd… Was it because of the flash of red light? I could sense that he didn’t hold back any of his strength, but I didn’t feel any harmful energy towards me… Did he restrain himself at the very last moment?’

Yun Yang’s cultivation base was improving day by day. The connection of aura with the man in black just now told him enough of the man’s prowess, and while Ji Lingxi, who was in Yun Yang’s embrace, was not hurt, she was incredibly stiff.

After all, nothing that had happened had made sense. Everything went against what he assumed would happen. In addition, he was high strung with anxiety and worry that even though he was not hurt, he was still muddled enough to be unable to determine the current situation.

The only thought Yun Yang had now was that he had just experienced the oddest day of his life ever since he had been born!

While Yun Yang sat in a mental puddle of disorganized thoughts, he looked at the sky with a frown. He was surprised to find the little black dot reappearing, albeit at a much slower speed. It was a stark difference compared to earlier.

Regardless, the man in black had returned!

Was this… another nightmare waiting to happen?

Alongside the approaching silhouette, Yun Yang could already see the fluttering black robe and hair, especially the pair of eyes that was still filled with shock but also inexplicably savage bloodlust.

Did he not intend to give up?

Yun Yang felt his heart lurch.

Seeing that the man was coming closer and closer, it was obvious that they were about to meet once more in another two hundred feet. Yun Yang instinctively reeled in all his cultivation base; he knew full well that this was an enemy above his level, but he had to die fighting!

He had been restrained by the other’s aura earlier, and could not move; now, he had regained his mobility. He had to fight, no matter what. He would rather die by taking a blow than to die being frightened; it was not in Yun Yang’s blood to quietly wait for his death.

Then, there came another shocking twist the moment his hand reached his saber’s grip.

Boom!

Without any warning, the man in black was suddenly and violently dismembered in mid-air.

It was an extreme act of dismemberment. His whole being exploded like fireworks before the pieces of flesh erupted again. like snowflakes in the air and again…

Yun Yang rubbed his eyes.

‘I must have seen it wrongly.’

When his gaze refocused itself after rubbing his eyes, he realized that…

The sky was brilliantly blue. The breeze blew softly and there was no cloud for long stretches of sky. It was a bright, sunny, day.

There was nothing else!

Yun Yang’s jaw dropped in shock.

‘Disappeared? Gone?’

‘Did my eyes just lie to me? The man had left earlier. Was his return just a figment of my imagination?’

‘Or…’

With a soft brushing sound, the black flag hovering in the sky seemed to have lost all support as it fell swiftly. It contracted along the way and eventually became a small, black flag the size of a palm. With a soft thud, it stabbed into the ground before Yun Yang.

The flag drooped; it no longer looked as sinister as it did before.

Yun Yang lowered his head in a stupor and stared at the small flag mutely. He only felt that it was like a rooster that had lost its fight… a dog that had its tail between its legs.. a quail that was frozen in the snow… He exuded a terribly debilititating sense of lifelessness.

Yun Yang’s mind was empty once again.

‘This is more unbelievable than unbelievable! Could this be considered the second and more amazing version of unbelievable?

‘Someone please tell me, what the f*ck has happened?’

As he wracked his head, Yun Yang vaguely recalled the absolutely random shout earlier, “F*ck! Gou Dai!”

He could not help murmuring to himself, “What does this mean?”

It sounded like a case of loud swearing, but… he had read so much and contained so much of the past to the present in his mind, he had truly had never heard of such a refreshing set of curses before!
