My Crazy Upgrade System-Chapter 66 - 65: Sudden Change
Feeling Shi Xueyun’s familiar aura, the two fought side by side, looking like a couple blessed by the heavens. They remained unfazed, even when surrounded by countless enemies.
Yi Tianyun’s heart stirred. No matter the circumstances, Shi Xueyun would always choose to stand by his side, never leaving, never forsaking him. Even Lian’s feelings for him paled in comparison to Shi Xueyun’s. This affection surpassed all else.
This was the pinnacle of devotion—together through life and death, never to be parted.
"Aunt..." Yi Tianyun was deeply moved.
She had never compromised when facing the accusations of so many factions, yet when it came to a choice between that and Yi Tianyun’s life, she was willing to abandon everything.
"So you finally decided to grace us with your presence? You’re not going to keep hiding outside?"
Shi Xueyun’s tone was not its usual gentle self. Instead, it was filled with authority and brimming with killing intent.
Yi Tianyun was instantly embarrassed. He knew Shi Xueyun was angry with him for hiding outside for so long and not returning, leaving her to worry constantly about whether he was alive or dead.
"Well... I was just thinking of Merak Palace. If I caused the palace to fall into peril, wouldn’t that make me its greatest sinner?"
Yi Tianyun shook his head. ’It would be a different story if Merak Palace were strong,’ he thought. ’But it’s so weak right now. Provoking so many factions would surely lead to its utter destruction.’
But now it seemed they had been after a Treasure in Merak Palace from the very beginning. Although he didn’t know what it was, it was clearly nothing simple.
"Sinner? Then for failing to protect you, I am the greatest sinner! We agreed we would face everything together. What was that supposed to mean?"
Shi Xueyun’s eyes immediately reddened. She had imagined all sorts of things, worrying that Yi Tianyun had been killed, or captured and brutally tortured. She had been on edge for days.
If not for her responsibilities to Merak Palace, she would have run off to search for him long ago.
"Aunt..."
Yi Tianyun felt a lump in his throat. A long time ago, they had made a promise to always be together, to never be parted.
"You shameless pair! How dare you flirt in front of us at a time like this!"
Having been knocked back, Qingyun Cheng roared in fury, "Kill them! Slaughter everyone here until not one soul remains! I refuse to believe the two of you alone can prop up the entire Merak Palace!"
They had brought more men than this. Xiang Tianya’s death didn’t matter; the Sect Master of the Celestial Spirit Sect was still here. At this point, they were ready to risk it all.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them all! Kill anyone you see! We’ll hold these two back!"
The Sect Master of the Celestial Spirit Sect, Jia Zhiyun, was equally enraged. Yi Tianyun had just slain many of his sect’s elders; how could he not be furious? They all instantly unleashed their full power, summoning their strongest Treasures. In an instant, their Combat Power skyrocketed. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The other deacons and elders charged past them. Following their Sect Master’s orders, they were about to go on a rampage and bathe Merak Palace in blood!
The Cultivators of Merak Palace generally had lower cultivation levels, so they were completely unable to withstand the slaughter.
"You dare!"
Shi Xueyun roared and flew up to intercept them, but Qingyun Cheng was already there to block her. A brilliant flash of a blade streaked through the air, and their attacks collided in an instant.
CLANG!
Shi Xueyun was thrown back by Qingyun Cheng. After unleashing his power, Qingyun Cheng was actually able to match Shi Xueyun. As expected of the Sect Master of the Divine Forging Sect, it was not surprising he possessed such skill.
Jia Zhiyun also stood guard nearby. He didn’t attack, but focused on trapping the two of them so that his subordinates could launch a full-scale assault on Merak Palace!
"If you want to get past, you’ll have to go through me first!"
Qingyun Cheng sneered, "I will make you watch as we bathe the entire Merak Palace in blood!"
Shi Xueyun’s expression changed, the killing intent in her eyes intensifying until it seemed to reach its absolute peak!
BOOM!
Suddenly, a blast of frigid air erupted from the crowd. All the Cultivators charging toward Merak Palace stiffened, frozen in place and unable to move. Even Qingyun Cheng and his allies were affected, fixed to the spot and completely immobilized!
The effect of Frost Fist had activated again!
"I’d like to see who dares to touch Merak Palace!"
Yi Tianyun snorted and shot over. A flash of his sword swept through, and the men charging toward Merak Palace were sliced in half at the waist, splattering blood in every direction.
"Ding! Successfully killed..."
A long string of notifications for experience points appeared, rapidly converting into the EXP he needed.
After Yi Tianyun made a single pass, countless Cultivators had fallen to the ground, never to rise again.
Many had no idea what happened. One moment they were inexplicably unable to move, and the next they were being cut down by Yi Tianyun. The change was too fast, too sudden for anyone to react.
It wasn’t just Qingyun Cheng and his men; even the people of Merak Palace were unable to move. Everyone within the effective range was Frozen, regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
"What is this?" Shi Xueyun was stunned. She realized something was wrong. ’It’s like we’ve been frozen solid.’
She knew Yi Tianyun was responsible, but wasn’t this ability a bit too monstrous? ’With so many people Frozen in place, aren’t they just fish in a barrel?’
"Aunt, as long as I’m here, no one can touch Merak Palace, and no one can touch you!" Yi Tianyun’s eyes flared with killing intent as he said coldly, "Let’s finish those two off!"
Qingyun Cheng and Jia Zhiyun were still unable to move, fixed to the spot. They could only watch helplessly as the two charged toward them, completely unable to struggle.
The effect of Frost Fist was simply heaven-defying. Even if it only froze them for a short time, being immobilized for even half a minute was a death sentence for experts like them.
Shi Xueyun’s beautiful eyes lit up. As she looked at Yi Tianyun, a wave of emotion washed over her. Without her even realizing it, Yi Tianyun had become the pillar supporting all of Merak Palace!
"Celestial Spirit Sect... die!"
Yi Tianyun spun the Wind-Chasing Blade in his hand and shot forward like a bolt of lightning, aiming straight for Jia Zhiyun. With a single slash, he cut Jia Zhiyun in half at the waist.
"You..."
In that instant, Jia Zhiyun recovered from the Frozen state, but it was too late. He had already been sliced in half by Yi Tianyun; there was no chance of survival.
"Ding! Successfully killed Jia Zhiyun, Sect Master of the Celestial Spirit Sect. Obtained 400,000 experience, one Concentration Pill, and 3,000 Madness Value!"
’The loot from the kill was rather sparse, with nothing particularly noteworthy. He was pretty poor,’ Yi Tianyun thought. But he didn’t care about that in the slightest. All that mattered was killing these invaders!
Meanwhile, Shi Xueyun thrust her Spirit Sword toward Qingyun Cheng. Just as she was about to kill him, a thunderous roar came from behind them.
"Insolence!"
A terrifying aura surged from the distance as a giant golden palm slammed down toward them. Shi Xueyun’s expression changed, and she quickly swung her sword to block.
BOOM!
Shi Xueyun was blasted backward, sliding a great distance before she could barely stop herself. The moment she came to a halt, her face flushed red, and a trickle of blood ran from the corner of her mouth. She was clearly seriously injured.
Who would have thought that at this crucial moment, an unexpected powerhouse would suddenly appear! And a terrifyingly strong one at that.
