Against the Gods - Volume 10 - Snow Song Flame God

But his luck seemed to be holding up. Lei Kuangfeng went south and Lei Qingfeng went west. They both gradually strayed away from where they were.
Yun Che let out a secret sigh of relief before casting a glance at the round-eyed, pitiful looking Little Jasmine. He said in a soft voice, “Those two people are hunting after me. If they find us we’re both dead, do you understand!? So don’t talk or even breath loudly. If you understand then blink your eyes once.”
“...” Little Jasmine blinked strongly a couple of times in a row.
It was only then Yun Che slowly moved his hands away while maintaining Hidden Flowing Lightning. He was ready to take Little Jasmine quietly away from this place.
As expected, Little Jasmine didn’t say anything. She simply cast a aggrieved look at him, rubbed her little nose that looked like it was hurt because of Yun Che’s rough handling and...
“Hachoo!!”
An extremely loud sneeze caused every hair on Yun Che’s body to stand on their end.
“I ~！@#￥%...” Without a second thought, Yun Che grabbed Little Jasmine, detonated his profound energy and flew towards the distance.
At the same time, two powerful auras locked firmly onto his figure like Soul Binding Thunder Ropes.
Chapter 1092: Head Explosion x2
Yun Che increased his speed to the limit as he dashed like a storm arrow. But the two auras behind that had locked onto him were on his tail and one of them was even gradually drawing nearer.
“Waah!” While Yun Che was gnashing his teeth, Little Jasmine, on the other hand, shouted loudly, full of excitement. “Brother-in-law, who’re those two? Why’re they chasing us?”
“Shut up!” Yun Che roared in a low voice.
Little Jasmine turned her head around as she called out to the people in the back, “You big bad guys, try to catch up to us if you can! My brother-in-law is Ling Yun, the most famous and powerful person in the Darkya Realm right now. I don’t fear you guys in the slightest.”
“…” Yun Che felt an incomparably strong urge to throw her far, far away.
Hearing the two words “Ling Yun” from Little Jasmine, Lei Kuangfeng and Lei Qinglie’s profound auras and speed once again gained an explosive increase.
Lei Kuangfeng’s profound strength was higher than Lei Qinglie’s. The speed of the latter was roughly the same as Yun Che's, while the former was slowly getting closer and closer to his target.
Seeing that his enemy was less than one and a half kilometers away, Yun Che furrowed his brows. He flung out his arm, generating a gale that carried Little Jasmine far away into the distance, screaming. Then, he stopped in his tracks all of a sudden, turned around and made his profound power surge fiercely from his entire body.
BOOM——
Following the explosive sound of air resounding throughout the place like surging billows, Lei Kuangfeng arrived before Yun Che in the blink of an eye. Lei Qinglie also caught up to him soon after that. The gazes and auras of the two were firmly locked onto Yun Che.
“So you’re… Ling Yun?” While looking fixedly at Yun Che, they felt at least sixty percent doubtful about his identity in their hearts.
To their surprise, the aura of Yun Che’s profound strength was only at the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm! Was it really this young man, who was only in the early stages of the Divine Soul Realm, that forced our distinguished sect into such a difficult situation by causing the loss of so many lives?
Furthermore, the speed he had displayed was also something that a person at the Divine Soul Realm should not be able to achieve.
“Heh,” Yun Che sneered, “You could have just returned and reported to your sect master. Why’re you so insistent on jumping out and seeking death!?”
Yun Che possessed an extremely strong fleeing ability. If he used his Profound Handle with Hidden Flowing Lightning, there would be a very high possibility of interfering with the locking and pursuit functions of the auras of his enemies. With the aura separation ability of Moon Splitting Cascade, the success rate would at once go up by several times. Once he got himself free from the auras locked onto him, he could hide himself perfectly, which would make it extremely difficult to find him.
It could be said that if he wanted to shake Lei Kuangfeng and Lei Qinglie off, it would be quite a simple and easy task for him.
But that was only possible if he was by himself. It was absolutely impossible to achieve the same result if he was carrying Little Jasmine along… unless he truly threw her away.
Yun Che would definitely not hesitate in the least to protect those he considered important to him, even at the risk of his life. But, he was certainly not a chivalrous person, either… To put it in other words, he wasn’t someone who would foolishly face an enormous risk that could very likely endanger his life to save a person he had nothing at all to do with.
He should have abandoned Little Jasmine straightaway and then, escaped at his top speed. But for some reason, such an idea didn’t come to this mind… and he himself didn’t know exactly why he not thought about it this whole time.
Perhaps, her forcibly calling herself “Little Jasmine” had imperceptibly affected some part of his mind.
Him saying such words was no different from personally acknowledging his identity as “Ling Yun.” A look of anger surfaced on Lei Kuangfeng and Lei Qinglie’s faces and their profound energy began to instantly seethe on their bodies, “So you really are Ling Yun! Very good… You have truly made us work hard to look for you. Let’s see how you can escape from us this time!”
“This guy is incomparably crafty. Instead of saying anything, we should catch him at once!”
Lei Kuangfeng let out an angry roar, as streams of air wildly flowed around him. Lei Qinglie also made his move right after him. The two people had launched a direct attack from both left and right sides.
Yun Che frowned while several thoughts crossed his mind… He was currently facing two mighty vice hall masters of the Black Soul Divine Sect. Lei Qinglie was at the fourth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm and Lei Kuangfeng the fifth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm. It would be barely possible to deal with one of them, so he would have no odds of winning if he were to face them head-on at the same time.
He must carry out a surprise attack and dispose of one of them as quickly as possible!
CLNK——
Having come to a conclusion, he took out the Heaven Smiting Sword without delay. The abrupt leap in the force emitting from their opponent shocked Lei Kuangfeng and Lei Qinglie… Although the force hadn’t grown to a threatening extent, it should absolutely not be emitting from a profound practitioner in the early stage of the Divine Soul Realm.
Despite feeling alarmed in their hearts, there was no stagnation in their movements. On the contrary, they became even fiercer. Like ferocious snakes, two black streaks of lightning pounced towards Yun Che… However, the attacks were not meant to kill him, as Lei Tiangang and Lei Qianfeng had repeatedly told them to capture him alive.
HISS!!
The two lightning snakes missed the target at the same time. When they collided with each other, the enormous energy of lightning blew open like cobweb in the air and instantly blotted out the sky.
Yun Che had already arrived behind them in a flash. Before Lei Kuangfeng and Lei Qinglie could turn around, a blue light immediately sparked in his eyes, as he directly unleashed the Dragon Soul Domain.
The image of a dragon appeared suddenly and its roar shook the sky. Lei Kuangfeng and Lei Qinglie felt their bodies tremble simultaneously, after which they fell into an abyss of fear. Their power and profound energy frantically discharged from their bodies in an instant.
BOOM!!
As he activated “Rumbling Heaven,” profound energy erupted from Yun Che and he charged ahead, as though he was a wild beast that had awakened all of a sudden. Within a moment, he didn’t ponder over choosing a better target and simply smashed his sword at Lei Kuangfeng, who was a bit closer to him.
BOOM——
As if a volcano had erupted in his head, a sky-shaking boom resounded throughout the place as Lei Kuangfeng was blown away. In an instant, his body got smashed into the ground dozens of kilometers from his previous location. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
“Kuangfeng!!”
Lei Qinglie was greatly shocked by the unforeseen turn of events. But right after he shouted, he discovered that Yun Che had already rushed over to him, carrying a berserk sword aura.
Even though Lei Qinglie’s mind was in disorder due to the fright he had just received, he retreated backward like lightning and quickly took out his black soul spear. Having witnessed the fearsome scene from just now, he didn’t dare to take his enemy lightly in the slightest. The black lightning on the black soul spear reached to its utmost strength in no tim and he directly aimed for Yun Che’s chest amidst the deafening metallic sound.
Following a swishing sound, the tip of the black soul spear rapidly increased by over a hundred meters as it pierced through Yun Che’s body… But the only thing left after was a shattered afterimage. Lei Qinglie’s reaction to it was incomparably fast and there was no pause in his movements, even for a second. The lightning entwined around his black soul spear swept across behind him like a python using its tail.
The superiority of a spear-type weapon was completely displayed at this moment. As the lightning swept across the place, the surrounding several hundred kilometer area was shrouded by the image of a spear and the light of lightning.
CLANG!!
When spear and sword collided, the energy contained within the two broke out at the same time.
BOOM BOOM!!
A huge sound was produced, quaking the earth and shaking the mountain. Yun Che was immediately blown away by the terrifying energy storm while Lei Qinglie’s body shook intensely as it was forced straight into the ground. He somehow stabilized his posture, as a mouthful of blood almost gushed out.
Why… does he have such fearsome power!?
Lei Qinglie was frightened in his heart, but before he could take a breather, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura pressing down on him. High above in the sky, Yun Che’s entire body was burning with fire. He plunged downward, producing a long air-tearing sound on the way, the image of the Phoenix crimson and dazzling.
Lei Qinglie opened his eyes wide, completely unable to believe that Yun Che could counterattack so quickly while still in the air and especially in a situation where he was blown away. As the image of the flame rapidly enlarged within his pupils, the feeling of his soul being suppressed grew even more terrifying. While lifting the black soul spear in his hands, the fear in his heart became even greater at a very fast rate. He actually avoided directly facing Yun Che’s attack and instead smashed the black soul spear fiercely onto the ground to utilize the impact to at once retreat as far away as possible.
BOOM!!
Over ten short mountains in the vicinity were razed to the ground. Firelight soared into the sky, reaching such heights that it wasn’t possible to see its end.
The instant the flame exploded, Yun Che’s figure shot out like a shooting star. He had no intention to give him the time to even breathe properly. The Heaven Smiting Sword launched forth an attack once again, as the image of Heavenly Wolf covered in Phoenix flames rushed straight at Lei Qinglie.
Lei Qinglie had yet to balance his body because he had evaded the previous attack in a flurry but the image of the Heavenly Wolf had already arrived before him with a whistling sound. His eyes enlarged as he made his entire profound energy surge from his body and firmly resisted the image of the Heavenly Wolf with the black soul spear. Then, he let out a loud roar and somehow canceled the power of the Heavenly Wolf Slash… But when the image of the Heavenly Wolf dispersed, Yun Che came smashing down with his sword, like a shadow chasing after the soul.
At the time he was drawing near to Lei Qinglie, his eyes were shockingly scarlet in color.
This guy…
Let alone being able to gasp for a breath, Lei Qinglie didn’t even have the time to ponder over anything. He let out a loud shout as if giving vent to his frustration and swiftly withstood the incoming attacks with his black soul spear.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM…
It was obvious that a heavy sword was the most difficult weapon to handle but he was frantically launching attacks like a hurricane. Lei Qinglie kept on retreating while resisting the attacks in a flustered manner. Every time he blocked the sword, it felt as if he was being struck by a mountain, causing all his internal organs to almost rupture due to being continuously shaken. Yun Che’s eyes were crimson and his arms were covered in blood but the berserk force emitting from him and the power of his sword didn’t show any signs of weakening, which made Lei Qinglie feel more and more danger with every attack he warded off.
His initial joy from finding “Ling Yun” had now turned to an increasingly deepening fear. But facing Yun Che’s crazy attacks, it was impossible for Lei Qinglie to even get away from the place at this time, much less initiating a counterattack.
Yun Che was giving his all in every attack. His body was also getting hurt due to the shock with every swing of his word but he couldn’t take a break as it wasn’t possible for him to maintain the “Rumbling Heaven” state for too long. More importantly, Lei Kuangfeng was a powerful profound practitioner at the fifth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm, after all. Although Yun Che did succeed in smashing his sword firmly into his head, it would at most injure him very severely and wouldn’t cause him to lose his life.
It would be for the best if he passed out. In case he didn’t, even if he could only use half of his strength, the situation would get several times worse if he joined hands with Lei Qinglie against him.
Therefore, he had to finish Lei Qinglie as fast as possible… Even if it meant putting his life on the line!
The longer he maintained the Rumbling Heaven state, the more burden it put on Yun Che’s body. Lei Qinglie was only defending and had no power to counterattack but he still got covered with injuries due to his own energy.
Li Qinglie’s face became more and more pale, as the fear within him grew stronger and stronger. Blood was flowing down from his arms that were holding the black soul spear and they had begun to go numb.
It was at this time that an agitated and angry roar came from the distance, “Ling Yun… I’m so going to kill you!!”
A human figure jumped high into the sky and like a deranged wild beast, pounced over carrying along a soaring murderous aura.
Lei Kuangfeng!
His mouth and face were completely covered in blood and he seemed to be in an extremely sorry and miserable condition. However, on his body was his seething, quite chaotic, but still shocking profound energy.
A slight changed appeared on Yun Che’s face and his movements also slowed down a bit.
Lei Qinglie, who was on the verge of collapse, didn’t miss the opportunity and launched his counterattack at this moment. All his fear transformed into the catalyst to increase his ferocity by several times as his black soul spear suddenly shot out six black streaks of lightning. The incomparably terrifying auras shot straight towards Yun Che’s chest.
Almost at the same instant, Yun Che’s Heaven Smiting Sword smashed down fiercely… He actually didn’t attempt to dodge the six fatal streaks of lightning and instead faced them head-on… It was obvious that forcibly doing so was very risky and dangerous!!
Lei Qinglie’s pupils shrank at his action but they immediatey turned ferocious, “Die!!!”
Riiip!!
As he got directly struck by the six black streaks of lightning, Yun Che bent the upper part of his body backward. Six blo
ody holes tore open on his chest but none of the streaks of lightning succeeded in piercing through his body. Seeing such a scene unfold before him, Lei Qinglie’s shrunken pupils enlarged once again, as he found himself unable to believe his own eyes… It was at this time that Yun Che’s full powered swing firmly hit his body.
BOOM—————
“Wuaaahh!!”
Lei Qinglie let out a miserable shriek as his chest area ripped apart. He was blown away like a damaged blood bag and spattered blood on the way. It was as if heavy rain was suddenly pouring down.
Lei Kuangfeng had arrived behind Yun Che by this time. The black soul spear in his hand had all his energy gathered on it.
Yun Che suddenly turned around. Without bothering about the injuries all over his body or giving a glance to the blood flowing out of his body, he confronted Lei Kuangfeng head-on. When they were around thirty meters apart, the blue light that forced the latter into the abyss of fear earlier flashed in Yun Che’s eyes once again.
Dragon Soul Domain!!
It was his second time using the Dragon Soul Domain in such a short period of time and hence, the frightening power of the second time was far inferior to the first. But Lei Kuangfeng’s condition was also far worse than when he had experienced its effect the first time. When the sky-shaking roar resounded once more, Lei Kuangfeng’s pupils discolored instantly and his profound energy speedily dispersed like an unrestrained, powerful current of water.
Yun Che increased his speed abruptly and his sword came smashing down… Lei Kuangfeng raised his head with difficulty as a frightened roar escaped his mouth. He brought his black soul spear up in front of him, while trembling in fear.
But Yun Che’s figure suddenly disappeared at this time. He appeared behind Lei Kuangfeng as though he had teleported and mercilessly struck the latter’s head when he turned around.
