Chapter 11: Reconciliation?
"Finally! This treasure belongs to me." freewebnσvel.cѳm
An excited smile appeared on Yuna’s face as she stared at a skeleton lying on a metal bed.
She lowered her gaze to those corpses and closed their eyes, sighing.
"This is how the world works. You think you can trust others, but the only one you can trust is yourself."
"In this world, everyone wants to become an immortal. Without talent, how can one reach a higher realm?"
"Sonya, I envied your opportunity. Watching you become True Lord and Supreme Ancestor, my only regret was not finding an opportunity that could change my life."
"But it seems like life had something else stored for me."
She walked towards the corpse and took off the ring from its skeleton. When she held the ring, her hands trembled.
A crazy smile appeared on her face.
"I got it. My ticket to the top of this world. From this moment, talent will never be a problem. I will reach the peak of this world, with the Supreme Immemorial Thunder Body."
"Hahaha! Sonya, you never thought I would be reborn and take away your opportunity."
"Hahaha! Just be content with life as a Young Miss of a small town, while I will soon conquer this world."
"I’m sorry, Sonya. But don’t worry, this time, I will not let anyone destroy your family. This will be my compensation to you."
Just as she was laughing and crying hysterically, she held onto that ring.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Suddenly, her eyes snapped open with fury as she heard clapping from afar.
She raised her head and saw a young man standing near the wall, watching her performance and clapping.
"Wow! I never thought I would stumble upon such a big secret. You know what, you deserve a title card."
"After My Rebirth, I took my rival’s opportunity. Seeing you, I kinda understand the cultivators a bit better."
"They are very selfish. Even if they love someone, respect someone, they still have to prioritize themselves."
As he stopped talking, Yuki stared at him with a deadly gaze and said.
"Are you finished? I never thought you would be tailing us. When I sensed your presence disappear four days ago, I thought you ran away."
"So, you used a concealment method. But you will soon regret your choice. I will not let anyone leave this place alive."
"Not after you heard such a big secret!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Marx raised both of his hands and said.
"Let’s calm down. I know you haven’t used more than ninety percent of your Qi. I know you are not exhausted either."
"And considering that you were reborn after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, your soul must be strong."
"But do we really need to fight?"
When Marx said that, the lightning exploded out of his body.
At this moment, Yuki’s reaction became even more intense, releasing an enormous amount of her Qi.
Suddenly, that Qi transformed into a bolt of lightning that she shaped into a large sword and dashed towards Marx.
[Lightning Sword]
’I guess I made a wrong move.’
Marx was speechless at his own stupidity. But he released more Qi, transforming it into lightning as he coated himself in that lightning.
[Lightning Body Armor]
Zap!
In an instant, his body vanished in front of her eyes as he appeared above her and chopped down with his right leg.
Bang!
Yuki raised her right hand and blocked the lightning kick using her sword. The sword was quite sharp, but it didn’t pierce through his skin.
The Lightning Body Armor wasn’t just a fragile piece of armor. It could even block an attack from a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
An attack! That was the keyword.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After the first collision, they immediately began exchanging blows.
Unlike him, Yuki didn’t have a lightning defense, so whenever his fist reached her face, the lightning would strike her body.
Unfortunately, Yuki’s combat awareness was so high that every time he thought his fist or foot struck her, she would dodge and strike back.
Marx’s fist suddenly approached her, and Yuki dodged it as usual, but this time, Marx used his other forearm to block her sword attack.
Then, he used the hand that he missed, opening its fist as he grabbed her by the back of her head.
Bang!
Their forehead collided. Marx was wearing armor, so it didn’t harm him, but she wasn’t.
She got a serious injury in her head, almost breaking her bones with that one strike.
Of course, she wasn’t just going to let that go.
When he caught the back of her head, she realized that she was going to be attacked. So, she channeled a new Qi into her lightning blade, making it sharper.
Splash!
Although the sword didn’t cleave his arm, it sliced through his lightning armor and made a large cut on his arm.
He managed to strike her wrist using his knee in time to push her hand off balance. Using this as an opportunity, he pulled back his arm and jumped away.
Suddenly, he raised both of his hands, and his lightning armor disappeared.
"Hey, hey, hey, let’s not fight to the death! I know you don’t want to risk your secrets leaking out, but don’t worry, I’ve got a pretty tough mouth."
"Besides, look at this! See?"
His words stopped her, but she didn’t let down her guard. So, he quickly waved his hand, and surprisingly, the blood didn’t come out of his arm.
It almost looked too smooth, as if he just didn’t get cut by her lightning sword.
"You have a special constitution?"
Yuki narrowed her eyes. She understood why he was so confident in stopping her from killing him.
"Yeah, but whatever that you will obtain through that treasure, I can assure you mine is better."
"It’s hard to believe that. How old are you? Eighteen, seventeen? If you had a better physique than me, how can your cultivation be so slow?"
Although he was showing quite a formidable combat strength, she didn’t think much of his physique because his cultivation was lower than hers.
’Damn! I forgot to disguise. Then again, I didn’t think I would need that technique so soon.’
Marx cursed himself in his head before putting on a large smile.
"You are wrong. You are not the only one who can find inheritance."
"You are lying. If you had more powerful inheritance, you wouldn’t have risked your life to come here."
Yuki coldly replied.
At this moment, Marx paused, then he slowly smiled before his smile turned into a full-blown laugh.
"Hahaha! It turns out we’re so similar in that aspect."
His laughter slowly calmed down as he asked.
"You and I both understand one thing. No matter how small a mouse meat is, it is still a meat."
"Besides, my situation is a bit different. I am not lying when I say my physique is better than your Supreme Immemorial Thunder Body."
"And my inheritance is also better. The problem is that it is too good. So, I don’t need that treasure of yours."
"I also don’t need those spirit stones or even some weapons."
"But I need all of the techniques, martial arts, spells, and any other diary or anything he has that can give me more information about cultivation."
"You can also add a few pills on top of that if you want to."
Hearing his words, Yuki finally dispelled her sword and sneered.
"So, you are not a reborn person, nor did you possess this body. That’s why you don’t want to fight me."
"You realize I might have a trump card that can kill you. So, you don’t want to take that risk."
"The next time you want someone to believe you, try not to have any kind of fighting intent towards your opponent."
"It’s good that you only have fighting intent but not killing intent; otherwise, I would’ve never lowered my sword."
Her words surprised him.
He was genuinely worried that she would use some kind of trump card to kill him. Since she was a reborn person, he didn’t want to make enemies with her.
That’s why he didn’t lower his guard. He didn’t expect himself to possess the fighting intent.
Then, he remembered the battles he went through to achieve the third stage of the Qi Sea Realm and found it made sense.
Fighting Intent was a special state where the body could automatically prepare itself for battle.
If used during a battle, it could also increase the chances of winning the battle.
’Tch! Truly expected of a Nascent Soul monster! She isn’t some kind of person who will change her opinion because of a few words.’
’I guess she doesn’t have the trump card to kill me without sacrificing her life. That must be why she isn’t making any move.’
’This is troublesome. She has seen my actual face. So, unless I alter my face permanently, she can always recognize me.’
’I can’t be enemies with this kind of person. At least, there must be no hatred between us.’
