Martialism
Chapter 69's
When the others had arrived at the cave, Yixian stood gracefully beside Yi Ping and they shared the beans together.
When Yixian saw them approaching, she smiled gently at them, “You guys are all here. Do you want to eat nuts too?”
Lele sighed softly when she saw Yi Ping, “I have no appetite.”
None of them have an appetite.
Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong had serious expressions on their faces.
Yi Ping was looking at the gathered dark clouds and strong winds sweeping into the dimly lit cave.
But they waited patiently until Yixian finished her last meal.
Han Shaodong asked, “Xian’Er, you eat very simply ..”
Yixian smiled comfortingly, “Brother Han, did you forget that I am a vegetarian? This is a delicious food for me.”
Han Shaodong sighed, “That's right. Time passed and I had forgotten ..”
Yixian smiled gently as she looked at everyone calmly, “If only there were some good wine to share between us. That would be fun too.”
Xiao Shuai sighed, “Sadly nothing now ..”
Martial Sage sighed, “That's right.”
Yi Ping immediately said, “Xian’Er, wait for me. I went to pick up wine ..”
Xian’Er immediately caught him with a calm smile, “Konyo! By the time you return, more than a day will have passed. It was just a regular comment. Don't go, okay?”
Yi Ping hesitated for a moment before he was interrupted by Yixian. His melancholic eyes stared at the gathered dark clouds, “Have come. Remember to stay behind and do not get out of the cave.”
Yi Ping said bitterly, “Xian’Er! You can't get out. This is too dangerous.certainly we can think of another way?”
Xiao Shuai said seriously, “Xian’Er, is there another way?”
Yixian smiled gently, “Brother Shuai, it's too late. Wherever I go, Divine Disaster will follow me. This is also the reason why this cave was chosen for you to witness the wrath of the Divine Disaster. Remember to do it better, stay away from crime and avoid unnecessary killing.”
He paused for a moment before adding sadly, “It is precisely because I have killed so many people that my Divine Disaster will be difficult to overcome. Let my fate be a lesson to everyone.”
Xiao Shuai stuttered, “You called me Brother Shuai..I am still your Brother Shuai? After everything I did?”
Yixian nodded gently, “That's right.”
Xiao Shuai muttered, “Xian’Er ..”
Han Shaodong said slowly, “Xian’Er, be strong. I know you can overcome Divine Disaster.”
Yixian said gently to him, “Thank you Brother Han. Let the past be the past. You have to put the past aside and look ahead. With your intelligence, in the end you can easily rise to become a Heavenly.”
Han Shaodong smiled bitterly, “I also have a lot of blood on my hands. Can I still hope for that?”
The Martial Sage quickly said, “Xian’Er, I know that you can definitely overcome the Divine Disaster. You don't have to worry about my safety. Later when you are in trouble, I will definitely ..”
Suddenly, Yixian had raised her finger and had struck the Martial Sage three times in her chest!
The wind force from his fingers was so resounding and the punch received by the Martial Sage was so loud that the entire cave could feel the wind force generated by his fingers!
Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong were surprised that Yixian's finger skills would be so amazing that she could even break through the Iron Sheath Martial Ancestor skill and make him numb!
Element Sage praised Yixian, “Xian’Er, your skills have improved! Even with my skills, I do not believe myself to attack through the Shroud Skill and hit its pressure point.”
The Martial Sage suddenly gasped for breath and he fell to his knees, “Kakiku! Quickly help me to clean my channel!”
Element Sage smiled bitterly, “I just said I don't believe myself to pass your Iron Shroud Skill. If I fail to hit your channel properly, I can even worsen your numbness. You should wait for your channel to remove it yourself. Unless of course, you want to tell me the weaknesses of Your Shroud Skills ... “
Martial Sage cut him off, “Do you think I'm stupid and senile?”
But she quickly turned to Yixian to say, “Xian’Er, why did you do that to ..”
Yixian said softly, “Brother Ironfist, I know that you will definitely come to help me. That's what I fear the most. I've temporarily disabled your internal power. With your internal power, it won't be long before you clear it. Your channel and regain your strength. But it will be enough to stop you from acting recklessly.”
Martial Sage smacked his fist into the ground as he lamented, “Xian’Er, I. If you leave, I really have no idea what my existence is for!”
Sword Sage sighed and helped him stand up, “Maybe Xian’Er will live. Don't think too much.”
Yu’Er was desperate as she tried very hard to hold back her tears, “Monya Protege will definitely survive the Divine Disaster.”
What he said did not match his emotions.
As everyone looked at Yu’Er and her gentle eyes, they could feel her sincere emotions.
Yi Ping sighed sadly. But at this moment, he refused to say anything as he did not want to distract Yixian!
He could only give her silent support!
After Yu’Er rose as Celestial, the complexity of his Dual Inertness had increased to the level of ‘Reflective’ Emotion. His emotions were like a mirror that affected everyone and his feelings could be felt together by everyone!
Immediately, those who were already saddened by his voice found themselves shedding tears silently!
Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng managed to suppress their emotions with the achievement of their current Transparency Void but only barely…
Lingfeng was not affected but she sighed sadly…
Yixian sighed softly. This was really something he did not want to see.
Even with his cultivation in the Emotionless Poop, he was already teary-eyed as he hugged Yu’Er.
Yixian said gently, “Yu’Er, you are always more mature than Mei’Er. Take good care of Mei’Er for me. She needs your attention and support.”.
Even as Yu’Er nodded, Mei’Er had already flown into her arms as she started sobbing uncontrollably, “I don't want the protege's mistress to leave us! You are more than our protege mistress for me .. I .. mistress, I don't want you to leave us..”.
Yunzi and Youxue had already wasted face with tears silently as they could not bear to look anymore.
Yixian stroked Meijian's face gently, smiling fondly at her. “Mei’Er, don't be greedy anymore. Be a good wife for Ping’Er and take good care of her for my sake.”
Mei’Er crying, “I will. I will..”.
Yixian held Yujian and Meijian lovingly as she said, “I'm so happy that you two are Heavenly Beings now. It is the lifelong desire of our clan ancestors to overcome the Divine Disaster and see the world outside. Finally, we have you both. I'm so proud of you..”.
Yu’Er pursed her lips as she shouted loudly, “This is absolutely not the wish of Yu’Er! Without a protege mistress to guide us, we really do not have the confidence to endure even the next celestial crisis! I just want the mistress to be with us forever!”
Mei’Er crying, “Ya. Without the mistress of the protege to guide us, what hope do we have? We are very young and there are so many things we do not know. We'll never be as good as the lady protege. Why so? Is heaven so unfair to us? The one who should be the Heavenly Beings is Madam Protege and not us!”
Yixian smiled gently and looked at Lele and Lie Qing with *****soft, “Sister, help me to take care of them as your sisters too. And Ping’Er ..”
Lele glanced at Yi Ping dejectedly, “Ping’Er, you don't have the last words to say ?!”
Yi Ping sighed softly, “I've said everything I want to say when we're alone.”
Thas right. There was nothing he could do now at this moment.
He certainly had his own decisions, but he was determined to keep them to himself. In order not to make the others worry for her, she refused to say anything!
Yunzi sighed softly as she stared intently at Yi Ping as she thought, “I can't believe you won't do anything.”
He had witnessed his fearless courage and how he stood in front of adversity so many times. The first time was when he met her in Honor Manor. The second time was when he dared to fight Yuan Shao alone so that he could escape and the third was when he fought the Three Evils from the West, refusing to defeat Lie Qing.
If his analysis was correct, he would definitely rush to the Divine Calamity to draw a conclusion!
Therefore he decided to watch her vigilantly …
Meanwhile, Lie Qing pulled up Lele's sleeve, “Saudari, surely you know that it is an inevitable and irrational thing to ask Yi Ping to do something right now. Let Heaven decide on the upcoming results and let us pray for Sister Xian’ Eh.”
Even Suxin, Sufeng and Suyue who did not know Yixian also hugged her and they were also inconsolable!
Shangguan Qingyun recited aloud, “Dearly farewell, miserable farewell. Destiny meets, destiny parted. When will God be kind to an empty soul?”
As he read, he started to unsheatheat his long sword with his left hand and carve the words he had just spoken into the wall!
Yan Nanfei immediately said, “You, you ..!”
Shangguan Qingyun laughed bitterly, “What's up, Brother Yan? You didn't expect that my calligraphy and swordsmanship skills were this good?”
Yan Nanfei said bitterly, “Indeed! I was really surprised!”
Shangguan Qingyun sighed, “If only all these compliments would turn my solemn mood into a joyful mood ..”
Yan Nanfei interrupted angrily, “You really think I praise you? I want to hit you!”
Everyone is surprised.
It was because Yan Nanfei had suddenly become hostile and he looked very serious.
Sword Sage surprised, “What's wrong with you, brothers?”
Shangguan Qingyun quickly asked, “Ya, what's wrong? Suddenly you seem annoyed at me?”
Yan Nanfei smiled bitterly, “I only realized that you are a left-handed swordsman today. You've cut your thumb off on your right hand and I'm doing the same. You didn't lose your sword skill, but I have it. Now tell me, why can't I be mad at you?”
Shangguan Qingyun stuttered as she tried to calm him down, “Don't get angry, Brother Yan .. I can explain it ..”
In his melancholic atmosphere, he had completely forgotten to hide the fact that he was also an ambidextrous swordsman and had accidentally let his secret unravel…
Element Sage said, “You two voluntarily cut off your thumb. Now is not the time to fight. You will only disturb Xian’Er.”
Shangguan Qingyun said quickly, “That's right. We will only disturb Xian’Er ..”
Yan Nanfei was immediately silent but he sighed heavily …
He wasn't really angry and just venting. He glanced at Yixian who was smiling at him and soon he was not moody anymore.
He said loudly, “Forget it. It's just a little trifle. I don't really like fighting ..”
Yan Nanfei stuttered, “You! You are the Old Master of the Divine Sword Clan. Who would dare mock you and avoid it? And your swordplay is not even disturbed ..”
Yi Ping was amused as these two Old Seniors made fun of each other. But he knew that the two of them were old friends and had also helped him in the past. Moreover, Shangguan Qingyun had given him a precious Divine Dragon pill…
He muttered to himself, “They are good people ..”
Even Yixian was amused as she giggled softly, “Stop. I really have to go now.”
Shangguan Qingyun and Yan Nanfei sighed as they called out at the same time, “Xian’Er ..”
Yixian was now standing at the entrance and a strong gale swept into the cave. The entire sky had turned dark even though it was still daytime.
The wind was blowing so fast now that everyone could barely stand up straight!
Yi Ping had exerted his martial power immediately to calm himself down while his attention was still fixed on Yixian.
Yixian was about to get out of the cave when Shen Xinyue called out to her, “Saudari Xian’Er. Can I call you brother?”
Yixian nodded gently and held her hand.
Shen Xinyue smiled and took out a pouch, “In that pouch are three Heavenly Dream Pill. Take it when you are in need. These pills can give temporary pride to your internal strength and can even treat internal injuries. But beware , these pills are also deadly and toxic.”
Yixian nodded with a thin smile, “Thank you, my good sister ..”
Xiao Shuai immediately interrupted, “If this is poisonous then where is the antidote? You did not give it to us ..”
Shen Xinyue blinked at him, “There is no antidote. I haven't managed to make one. The only way to prevent the poison from reacting was to suppress it with other Heavenly Dream Divine Pills periodically.”
Han Shaodong stuttered, “What happens when the poison reacts?”
Shen Xinyue sighed softly, “Then you will feel like a thousand scorpions are stinging all of you at the same time.”
Element Sage was experienced in herbs and he quickly asked, “What is the main ingredient of this Heavenly Dream heavenly pill that caused it to be so poisonous and deadly?”
Shen Xinyue said coldly, “I'm afraid I can't tell you or you won't be able to sleep or eat for days.”
Han Shaodong, Xiao Shuai, Element Sage, Sword Sage and Martial Sage all smiled bitterly at him …
While they were talking, Yixian silently walked out of the cave as she struggled to walk in the strong winds to the platform outside the cave.
Yi Ping clenched his fists as he watched him walk towards the rough platform.
The entire sky above the platform had turned so dark and the wind roared so fierce that it seemed almost supernatural. And in the middle of the sky, a dark spinning vortex had appeared!
It was a lucky thing that they were in a cave shelter or they would be swept away by the wailing wind!
Yi Ping had never seen such a powerful storm before.
He immediately increased his martial power again and executed the Thousand Weighted Skill to calm himself down, just like the others as well!
Even though they were in the cave shelter, they could already feel the powerful might of the roaring wind force. They could only imagine how strong the wind force and difficulty Yixian had to face outside!
As the intensity of the wind power grew in anger, Yujian and Meijian were forced to use the Divine Emerald Skill continuously to remain standing.
Yujian said to his sister as he stood in front of her, “Mei’Er, if we continue this way we will definitely exhaust our martial power. Let's take turns using the Divine Emerald Skill.”
Meijian nodded silently as he pulled out his Emerald Complicated Energy and simply steadied himself with his internal strength!
Lie Qing was beside the Martial Sage at a shocking speed as he quickly hit him several times on his body, freeing him from his immobilization.
Martial Sage sighed, “Thank you ..”
Lie Qing combed her long hair while laughing softly, “Quick clean your channel. Things will soon become more dangerous.”
Martial Sage nodded while taking a deep breath…
Chi Zhengqi, Qiu Wufeng, Gongsun Jing and Nangong Le were already sweating coldly. They had already exerted all their strength, yet this wind force seemed to be trying to suck them out of the cave!
Lele quickly thrust his long scythe into the hard rocky ground with a huge explosion as he said anxiously, “Everything, stand behind Yu’Er quickly! This was no ordinary Divine Disaster. For years, I've never seen anything like this before! Hold my stick all!”
Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong were shocked by his internal strength.
Sword Sage muttered, “He can pierce through this rocky ground with his staff. It was an amazing achievement.”.
Chi Zhengqi was confused. He quickly pulled out his long sword and tried to thrust his long sword into the rock; his long sword could only pierce through a bit of rock before it was deflected! There was no way his long sword could get into the hard rocky ground…
When he had diverted some of his martial power, he lost his balance and at that moment he was swept away; a powerful vortex threatened to suck him out of the cave when the Element Sage caught his foot, “Be careful nephew!”
Reverend Liu Qingcheng, Reverend Bai Chongzhen and Reverend Ling Kongquan were all sweating as they used all of their martial power to keep themselves on the ground!
Even Xiao Shuai who had a deep internal strength panicked as he asked, “Does anyone know how long this wind vortex will last? We cannot maintain our martial power like this!”
Xiao Shuai was right. Martial power is a sudden burst of a practitioner's internal strength and using the martial power itself is physically demanding.
Ji Wuzheng had just let out a martial cry as he raised his palm continuously to fight the whirlwind that sucked in with his Holy Amalgamate Power by absorbing and neutralizing the wind power. He too, sweats a lot and worries his wife and daughter, “If this continues, we will all be forced out of this cave and sweep into the sky!”
Shen Xinyue was completely pale, “Be careful. This force of wind is not just trying to knock us to the ground. It's trying to pull us towards the dark vortex above the sky.”
He too, had never seen anything like this before!
Yujian was already standing at the entrance of the cave where it was the strongest as he raised his finger to fend off that ferocious vortex!
If he had not been there, many of them would have already been swept out of the cave by now!
A tree that was outside the cave had just been toppled by the strong wind and swept away in a circular motion into the sky above. When it touched the vortex, it was torn apart!
Only Yi Ping, Shen Xinyue, Lele, Youxue, and Element Sage could still maintain their balance through the Thousand Heavens internal skills but from their expressions, it also required a lot of effort to do so!
Xiao Shuai cursed loudly as he grabbed the Element Sage to calm himself down, “If I knew this would happen and a Divine Disaster would be like this, then, I will focus on internal strength training rather than martial strength training!”
Element Sage managed to smile weakly, “Don't envy me. Maybe because Xian’Er is an internal force practitioner so that's why this Divine Disaster is a test on the foundation of internal strength.”
Yujian was almost crying. Like Yi Ping, he wanted to help his protege mistress but he could barely move at all!
Previously, Shen Xinyue had emphasized to Lie Qing, Lele, Mei’Er and him that under no circumstances should she lend a hand to the Heavenly Elf. It was because once they decided to help him, the Divine Disaster would change shape and it would cause Yixian to rise as the Dark Heavenly.
But when Yu’Er saw how terrifying this Divine Disaster was and the worst was yet to come, she did not care anymore about the warning and only wanted her protege mistress to live!
Yi Ping had steadied himself with his martial power as sweat droplets dripped down his forehead. He saw Yixian now standing in the midst of the strong wind.
Without giving the previous warning to the others, he began to take slow steps as he walked out of the cave towards her!
Yi Ping could only move very slowly, raising his legs slowly. As he stepped onto the ground, he left a deep trail to the rocky ground. Each of his steps was equated to a ton of strength as he concentrated all of his martial power into his center of gravity.
He could see that Yixian was now sitting meditating in the middle of the platform. He was amazed by his internal strength. As he moved closer to the platform, he could feel the violent gusts of wind continuously trying to cause him to lose his balance and blast him into the sky.
He could only move very slowly because every step was so boring and difficult now.
Shen Xinyue and Ji Lingfeng called out to him in panic but their voices quickly sank as Yi Ping had already stepped out of the cave!
Shen Xinyue was stunned and she was not sure if Yi Ping could hear her even though she had passed her words through the Thousand Miles Skill.
Lingfeng sighed softly, “It's no use. Even if you had used the Thousand Miles Skill and even if Yi Ping had heard of you, he might not have returned. He's this stubborn.”.
Dugu Yunzi panted as he raised the martial power of his Invincible Divine Power once again to keep his balance, “That's right. Right now, we can only pray.”
Youxue was struggling against the vortex of fury with his Divine Emerald Skill beside Yu’Er and Mei’Er, pursing his lips silently as he saw helplessness as Yi Ping walked past him…
Yu’Er and Mei’Er called Yi Ping but their worried voices were drowned out by the roaring wind. They had tried to move forward but were unable to withstand the wind attack so they were forced to remain in the cave of protection.
Dugu Zhen said loudly, “Everything, save your strength. We can only pray for this moment. I have a bad feeling about this and we better save as much strength as possible.”
Shen Xinyue sighed softly and said, “That's right. We are also in the same precautionary position. I thought we were out of reach of Divine Disaster but it seems this is the most unusual Divine Disaster. I've never seen anything like this before..”.
His voice was soft but everyone could hear him clearly despite the roaring wind. It speaks volumes about his internal strength.
Lingfeng said slowly, “This is Divine Wrath.”
Lele, Lie Qing and Shen Xinyue had astonished expressions in their expressions.
Lele asked, “You haven't even seen a Divine Disaster before. How do you know what it is?”
Lingfeng who was Heavenly and had recovered her memories remained silent and did not reply to Lele. Instead, he looked closely at what was happening outside.
Shen Xinyue's suspicion immediately surfaced. Only now did he realize that Lingfeng was able to keep her balance in perfect harmony and seemingly with ease!
He immediately thought, “What martial skills did he use? And he didn't even use the Thousand Weight Skill's stance because his posture was too ordinary. It was not a skill of the Sacred Hex Sect even Ji Wuzheng, Dugu Zhen, and Dugu Yunzi all fought against this powerful vortex.”
Lie Qing and Lele also exchanged curious gazes…
Lie Qing had already thought, “If this is the legendary Divine Wrath, how can humans like us overcome this?”
Suddenly, he felt mortal and even fearful. Even though he was a Celestial but he felt no different from the others …
Not only did he tremble in fear, Shen Xinyue also trembled and petrified fear also began to creep out to everyone!
Suxin was already panting as she struggled against her fatigue, “I can't hold back any longer. I'm too tired ..”
Lingfeng said gently, “Everything, sit on the ground and hold hands. This divine storm is not something we can handle on our own.”
Nangong Le said frantically, “That's right. Let's hold hands. I've exhausted all my strength.” He tried to move towards Lingfeng and Shen Xinyue when he saw the angry gazes coming from Suyue. He smiled bitterly and walked towards her instead.
As soon as everyone sat down and held hands with each other, there was a loud rumble of an earthquake as the ground started shaking violently and at the same time, it felt like the ground was shaking, a few flashes of purple lightning began to rumble all over the sky!
Catfish jerked, “This is an electric lightning storm!”
There was a light and sudden drizzle, a fireball emerged from the sky and pointed right at the center of the platform where Yixian interceded!
Everyone was shocked by the sudden appearance of a huge fireball that exploded suddenly from the dark sky!
Lingfeng said slowly, “This is just the beginning of Divine Wrath and much more to come.”
