Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 61: Sparring With Zhen Yunqi

"Why the hell did the vision disappear without doing anything?!"

The cultivators of the southern province grumbled in annoyance. Many of them were standing for six hours and looking at the red lightning nonstop.

However, it was all useless since the lightings and clouds disappeared suddenly.

"Well, at least now we know that there is a fire crystal in the southern province."

"Yeah, maybe someone tried to fuse with it and died."

"The fire crystal must be something special; after all, the Mu family’s vision only lasted for half an hour."

The cultivators concluded, many hoping to find the fire crystal for themselves. Although it was a life-threatening treasure, as long as it could make them talented, they would do it.

Of course these were only empty dreams, as the fire crystal needed a great affinity to fuse; if not, death was guaranteed.

The disciples and elders from the strong power knew this, so no one tried to search for it. If it came into their hands, they would keep it, but if not, they wouldn’t fight it; after all, it was a treasure that was known for killing geniuses.

…

"The Mu family had succeeded, but it’s a pity Mu Ning is from the branch family. That old man would definitely suppress her," Su Qiming muttered with a sigh as he read through the contents of the jade slip.

In which it was already explained that Mu Ning had fused with the fire crystal and her family had been controlled by the Mu family.

There was also one more thing written, and that was that the head of the Mu family was jealous and disliked the appearance of another fire crystal. Because of this, he had instructed Mu Ning into fusing with the fire crystal.

However, who could believe such news? Everyone had already guessed the old man Mu was hiding something, and it was related to the fire crystal.

But no one cared about this too much and decided to sit back and watch. After all, the second fire crystal was in the hands of the unknown.

Although many concluded that person must be dead, no one was sure as that person blocked the vision from descending. What if he was still alive and had successfully fused with the fore crystal?

Many old cultivators thought of this and decided to let the Mu family make a move first. If that unknown person was strong, the Mu family would be the one to take the hit, and if that person is not strong, then it wouldn’t be too late to get involved in this.

"Looks like the southern province won’t be quiet for a while," Su Qiming muttered with a sigh.

After this, he glanced back at the silent courtyard where his daughter Su Ying stayed.

"I hope he can cure her," he muttered with a helpless look.

He had already seen that Ye Chen wanted to use the Su family as his protective umbrella. However, so what? His own flesh and blood had been suffering from the birth, and now there was a chance to cure her. He won’t give up, even if it means taking out everything he has earned.

Moreover, if Ye Chen can really cure her, it would prove his extraordinary ability in medicine. Wasn’t it great to have a close relationship with someone like him? Especially if his medicine skills can save people, many would owe a favor to him.

Although the Su family had to protect him, it was just a small thing for them in the southern province. In the end, they would benefit if Ye Chen soars in the sky.

…

"Are you sure you want to spar with me?" Zhen Yunqi inquired as she stood opposite Ye Chen inside the fighting square.

This fighting square was located in the basement of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, and mostly the disciples and guards would spar here in their free time.

However, since it was already night, no one was here, which also saved the trouble of shooing them away.

"What’s there to be afraid of? Let’s spar!" Ye Chen replied with a hint of excitement.

He had long wanted to fight with someone; however, he had no time for it. Also, he just can’t go and beat the poor disciples in the sect. They almost had no fighting experience, which was quite boring.

Hearing his reply, Zhen Yunqi shook her head with a helpless look. She didn’t expect he would want to spar with her. But since he wanted to, she agreed without much hesitation.

"Sister Mei Mei, who do you think will win?" Lan Ming inquired with curiosity, her eyes also displaying excitement.

She was looking forward to seeing her handsome brother Chen defeating and pressing the sect master down.

Li Mei, who didn’t know her thoughts, shook her head with a complicated look.

Although she disliked her smelly senior brother, he was quite caring. As for Zhen Yunqi, she was her master; after all, how could she want to see her getting defeated even if it was just a normal spar without any conflict?

"I don’t know," she replied after a moment.

Hearing her answer, Lan Ming was disappointed, but soon her eyes flashed with strange light.

"Sister MeiMei, are you thinking about brother Chen’s body?" She inquired in a low voice, her face tinged with redness.

"L-Lan Ming, what are you talking about? I am not thinking of anything like this!" Li Mei hurriedly and anxiously answered as her face became hot.

However, she couldn’t help but recall Ye Chen’s perfect body before turning her head away in panic.

Watching her like this, Lan Ming felt an urge to tease her; however, before she could do so, the sounds of drawing swords rang out.

"I have only suppressed my cultivation to the ninth stage of Qi refining, so be careful." Zhen Yunqi warned, and without waiting for his response, she attacked directly.

The distance between Ye Chen and her was ten meters apart, but it only took her a second to close while slashing her sword at his vital area.

If Ye Chen failed to defend against this, he would be injured gravely and would lose any ability to fight further.

Her attack was deceptive and ruthless, deciding the outcome of the battle in just one move.

But Ye Chen was not some vegetarian; he had fought countless battles in a previous life, so he reacted immediately and parried her attack with his sword.

After that, without a word, he used his movement technique and arrived behind her.

Zhen Yunqi’s gaze was sharp, and she immediately locked on him while feeling surprised in her heart.

She had thought Ye Chen was arrogant after getting some strength, hence why she was ruthless with her attack. She wanted him to underhand the gap between the realms, but now seeing him defend against it easily, she understood his strength was not something judged by some common sense.

Swoosh!

At this moment, Ye Chen’s body became covered with ice flame, and a terrifying momentum erupted from him.

If one looked closely, they would discover the strange glyphs inside the ice flame.

Ye Chen wanted to understand his strength, so he didn’t waste time and used every bit of strength.

"Yunqi, be careful," he warned with a smile as he attacked with his sword.

Zhen Yunqi was surprised at his strength, but nevertheless she remained calm.

"You can’t defeat me," she stated with a hint of a smile in her eyes, and rather than defending, she backed out with her movement technique.

But how could Ye Chen see her escape? He didn’t hesitate and used his earth-grade movement technique, directly closing the distance between them.

This made Zhen Yunqi surprised once again, but she remained calm and avoided his attacks without any effort.

Ye Chen, meanwhile, didn’t lose his temper at her actions and kept attacking while remaining alert.

Don’t look at how Zhen Yunqi was trying not to fight him; she was just looking for a chance to strike. Once she saw an opportunity, she would ruthlessly attack him, ending the spar in just one attack.

This would not only make Ye Chen less arrogant, but it can also train his mind.

At least this was what she was thinking.

’I called you here to spar, not to teach me a lesson,’ Ye Chen thought with dissatisfaction as he guessed her intentions.

He had done the same thing to Li Mei, although the purpose was to tease her.

’I can only go all out,’ he decided.

Just now he was using his full strength, but this was not his limit, as he can increase his fighting power further, but if he did that, his spiritual qi would deplete rapidly.

Unless the fight was crucial and one wants to decide the outcome in a short time, not many cultivators would do this, as it makes them defenseless after the spiritual qi in their body is exhausted.

But Ye Chen couldn’t care about this, as Zhen Yunqi’s speed was higher than his; if he really wanted to defeat her, he had to use everything he got.

He hesitated no further and directly shot towards her with lightning speed.
