Misunderstanding between strong women is a disaster
🕑 Added 2023-09-09 07:15:02 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 168 ---
At the border near the Black-Corner Region and Tager Desert, a grassland covered with tall acacia trees. Two women hovered in the sky, silently staring at each other.
The first woman is a black-haired beauty with seven-colored hairpins. Her bright ruby-like red eyes release a majesty, queen-like confidence, and invisible pressure that makes her red robe flutter. The ground(earth) beneath her seemingly warmed up and shook to her breath.
Meanwhile, the other woman seems the polar opposite.
Although the second woman has long black hair, each strand has a white luster. Her face is healthy yet cold, causing a slight rosy from her lips and cheeks. On top of that, one could see a pair of cold blue eyes. And a phoenix's flame mark on her forehead that complimented her beauty.
She wore a bluish-green robe that fluttered gently due to wind and lightning around her. The clouds released soft cries, waiting for the woman to open her mouth and order them.
Baek Ain was unaware that his Harem's Queen made contact with Yun Yun, the Vice-Leader of Wind Lightning Pavilion's Southern Branch and Ex-Elder of Misty Cloud Sect.
"You... Know Ain?" Yun Yun parted her mouth slightly. Her cold voice penetrated the air and struck Cai Lin's ears mercilessly.
There is a hint of killing intent in the atmosphere when Cai Lin said she knew Ain's location.
Yun Yun didn't like this kind of person. Yes, the person who used other's loved ones to lure out benefits.
Cai Lin could read Yun Yun's emotions with her innate ability and chuckled helplessly. It seems Yun Yun had misunderstood her intentions.
She sighed and said, "Don't be on guard too much."
"I mean no harm."
"I only want-!"
Clank!
Cai Lin stepped back and pulled one of her hairpins, raising it to fend against a sword attack. It was such a fast attack, but Cai Lin is a 1-Star Dou Saint, so this attack speed means nothing to her.
Blue lightning sparks flew everywhere, and the wind blew them away.
"Hmm?" Cai Lin stared at her finger and noticed a weak numbing effect from Yun Yun's attack. She was surprised because her body had gotten enhanced by Behemoth's Bloodline thoroughly, and her cultivation base even reached 1-Star Dou Saint.
Yet this woman could affect her, despite weakly.
Cai Lin really underestimated Ain's position in Yun Yun's heart. After so many days, months, and even years, Yun Yun hasn't forgotten the young man who saved her from the claw of death.
After Baek Ain saves her, she feels the strings of fate already intertwined between them. It was such an overwhelming feeling that she couldn't describe it with words.
Her heart throbs when she saw Baek Ain fight against a Half-Saint Expert half a year ago. She wanted to protect him, but her pitifully weak strength could not compare to a Half-Saint.
She trained and trained every day, honing her skills.
People at the Wind Lightning Pavilion and Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe called her a genius, but she only wanted to protect the fated man she liked.
And an unknown woman appeared out of nowhere and wanted to use that fated man as a bargaining chip?
Yun Yun doesn't like it.
She hates this hopeless feeling.
Since this woman knew where Ain was, Yun Yun only had to beat her to death and force her mouth open.
Ding!
Yun Yun pulled her sword. It was a long, slender sword with a clean blue body and white edge. A decorative silver wing is attached to the handguard, making it look elegant.
"Three Thousand Lightning Movements." Yun Yun disappeared and flickered to Cai Lin's side.
"3,000 Sword Punishments."
Cai Lin blinked and felt countless sword tips in the air, aiming at the non-vital area of her body. She released a thin film of energy and covered her body with blacklights.
BAM!
The swords couldn't pierce through Cai Lin's defense, but she still got blown away by them.
Cai Lin surfed through the sky and used Spatial Strength to increase her speed. "This is getting out of hand." She said indifferently.
BOOM!
CLANK!
SWOOOOSH!
Several vortexes appeared in the sky as they clashed fiercely.
Yun Yun's swordsmanship alongside the Dou Techniques from the Wind Lightning Pavilion is such a good combo. Her attacks were as fast as lightning and very flexible like winds.
Still, Cai Lin is no pushover. She's the Queen Medusa and Baek Ain's Wife!
Cai Lin has used three of her hairpins, controlling Earth Dou Qi and increasing the gravity by tenfold.
Although she is passive in every exchange of blows with Yun Yun, each counterattack from her is "extremely." heavy, as if a literal mountain clashed against Yun Yun's sword.
The landscape changed throughout the battle. The grassland with acacia trees is no more, leaving a barren land full of tornado and space cracks.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Someone crashed to the ground, and it was Yun Yun.
She wiped blood from the corner of her mouth and stared at the sky, observing Cai Lin solemnly.
'She's strong.' Yun Yun thought to herself.
After the baptism of Heaven Demon Phoenix's Blood, Yun Yun's cultivation base has reached the peak of the Half-Saint Realm.
She's strong compared to others in the same realm, but her current opponent is too much.
Cai Lin has two Divine Beasts' Bloodlines inside her body. Topped by her rich combat experiences and artifacts, she was undefeated, even if her opponent was three sub-realms higher than her.
On the other hand, Yun Yun only got a small portion of True Heaven Demon Phoenix's Bloodline.
This match was unfair from the very beginning.
Cai Lin descended from the sky with her arms crossed and questioned, "Do you want to talk civilly now?"
Yun Yun stood up and patted the dust from her robe. "Take this attack, and we'll talk..." She said while gripping her sword.
"..." Cai Lin.
What a persistent woman!
"Fine." Cai Lin pulled the hairpin refined by Baek Ain personally and waited for Yun Yun's final attack.
Yun Yun sheathed her sword and gazed at the sky longingly. The ornamental silver wing's handguard suddenly blazed with bright red flame, enveloping the blade.
The image of Heaven Demon Phoenix manifested, releasing a proud and majestic cry.
"Heaven Demon's Whirlwind." Yun Yun drew her sword.
Cai Lin's expression froze as a twisted smile appeared on her beautiful face. She watched a gigantic fire tornado with a phoenix image rush toward her, bringing a disaster-level attack.
She laughed and slapped her hand, causing the hairpin between her slender fingers to shine brightly. "Nine-Colored Reflection."
A rainbow exploded from Cai Lin's hand and swallowed Yun Yun's attack, deflecting it somewhere else.
A place with no lives.
SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!
The light traveled throughout space, burning miles upon miles of ground to ashes before landing on the sea.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Electromagnetic waves surged out.
The space cracked for a few seconds but soon returned to normal.
Wind and lightning danced in the sea, raising several pillars of water as the explosion washed the shore and returned to Yun Yun and Cai Lin's sides.
Dust swept them over.
Their silky black hair got blown away, yet they rooted on the spot.
Yun Yun bit her lips as blood flowed from her palm. That last attack cut through her hand and bones as she didn't have control over it.
Ultimately, it was "casually." deflected by Cai Lin.
The disparity between a peak Half-Saint and a genuine 1-Star Dou Saint is actually this big.
"That hairpin..." Yun Yun gazed at the hairpin in Cai Lin's hand.
Cai Lin smirked and answered, "Ain made it for me."
"Sorry, I should have introduced myself first earlier."
"You should know me. It seems my evolution changed my appearance quite a bit."
"My name is Baek Cai Lin. I used to be the Queen Medusa of the Tager Desert. Right now, I'm Baek Ain's wife and the Queen of Behemoth Paradise."
"Nice to meet you~!"
"..." Yun Yun.
"Why didn't you say that earlier?"
"..." Cai Lin's mouth twitched.
"Because you attacked me!"
"You literally picked a fight first!"
Yun Yun's poker expression didn't change when Cai Lin berated her action earlier. She unexpectedly bowed and said, "Sorry."
"..." Cai Lin.
This woman is unreadable!
One second she was acting like a cold demon.
And one second later she was acting innocent.
The woman in question still bowed as she meant it and added, "I'm very sorry for my rude action. Please tell me about Ain..."
