I Am Supreme

Chapter 628: Long Time No See!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If it were not for the fact that the assassins were shocked at Yun Yang's muddy state and were dumbfounded in unison, Yun Yang would have suffered a multitude of injuries if he were not dead yet.

Yun Yang thought quickly, 'Hasn't it been said that a person only has nine chakras within them?'

'Then, what are these two chakras that have just been awakened?'

'Furthermore, how many chakras can one actually have in them?'

The question was temporarily without an answer, but there was another issue Yun Yang had to face right now. It was not external, it was internal - a strange energy was surging within him.

The force was strange and inexplicable, but extremely strong to the point that it was unstoppable!

Yun Yang felt that he might explode and combust from this outrageously powerful force before he could break through and advance. The power was indeed invincible and unmanipulatable!

Fortunately, Yun Yang felt a vigorous quake from within his deific consciousness.

The powerful force was violently colliding with the space of his divine senses! Under the extreme pressure, his deific consciousness that had been silent for so long - a voice he had not heard for a long time - rang in Yun Yang's mind.

"Ayaya…"

…

The leader dressed in black picked himself up before bolting towards Yun Yang like a strike of lightning, with the determination of a moth flying towards the flame. He was resolute to kill him and end things right there and then!

The leader had the highest cultivation base among those present and he felt something distinctly odd.

In this lifetime, they were, perhaps, the only people among all the cultivators in Tianxuan Continent that had the chance to kill Yun Yang now. Once they missed this opportunity, he could never be eradicated again! No one could do it anymore!

Thinking about this, he took action. He tried his best, going all out in this single strike, praying that it would end Yun Yang in one kill - right when everyone was still frozen in shock and stupor.

…

Shangguan Lingxiu had been watching Yun Yang closely, observing each detail and minor feature of his expression.

No one knew that since they had been ambushed till now, Shangguan Lingxiu had never been fearful or afraid. Such negative emotions had nothing to do with her. Since the ambush began, there was only one feeling brimming her heart - an emotion as sweet as honey!

Sweet - when they had been ambushed, Yun Yang had hopped out of the window holding on to her.

She could feel Yun Yang's breath, heartbeat, and warmth, thus the sweetness she felt escalated to the point that she was even thankful for these assassins.

To Shangguan Lingxiu, she truly did not care about being together eternally; it was enough that she had possessed it for an instant!

'I thought to have a plain experience that I can keep deep in my heart. Then, even when I don't get anything in the end, this simple pleasure can comfort me in the endless years after…'

Each time she was to reminisce about it during the long nights, during her silent life, she could still remember that she had possessed the budding emotion when she was a youth. However, she did not expect to have such a memorable encounter at this point in time - a love that was born of life and death!

After they sprung off the wall, Shangguan Lingxiu had come to a dead end and made a decision.

'I am content. I won't burden him.'

'If someone were to capture me as a hostage, I will commit suicide instantly lest I become Yun Yang's burden.'

'Similarly, if someone were to use me to divert his attention, I'll commit suicide at once as well to prevent any possibility of things becoming a disadvantage to Yun Yang!'

'What's left is to watch the battle here… My cultivation base is of no help to him, joining the fight will only trouble him. I can only watch…'

'Watch the man I love fight, risking his life… If he wins, we leave safely; if the relief comes, we leave together; if he loses, I have the strength to fight for his survival.'

'If we're still unlucky… we'll just die together. There's all there is to it.'

Therefore, she watched Yun Yang wholeheartedly, watched him move like a nail that was being hammered in front of her, like a secure mountain that blocked the tidal attacks of the killers without missing a beat. She was never afraid; there was no fear, only happiness.

'In this life of mine, my biggest wish is none other than being the woman behind a man like him today!'

'Perhaps I can create the glory and legend that belong to us women if I fight myself. I'm confident I can do it. However, when you like someone, you'll realize that all the glory and pride pales when compared to him. Even when it's too much of a fixation, I won't regret it.'

Looking at Yun Yang panting and duking it out in the battle, Shangguan Lingxiu's heart ached for him, but she remained calm and composed.

'I shall accompany you! Be it life or death, I shall never abandon you!'

When she saw the black-robed leader rising, Shangguan Lingxiu did not even pause to think as she moved right as he launched his ambush. Her tall and lean form soared with the wind.

The reason behind Shangguan Lingxiu's reaction was simple. To her, Yun Yang had yet to notice the leader's ambush. Perhaps, something was going on with him that his most basic movements seemed stoic. Therefore, she had to push forth and fight for the least bit of time for Yun Yang - just a bit, she was fighting for the shortest duration of time using her life, her all.

The leader's speed was as swift as a bolt of lightning, inexplicably fast, while Shangguan Lingxiu had unleashed the peak speed of her life as well.

She soared in a straight line, darting forward fearlessly while gripping her sword that was gleaming with threatening light. Her arms were stretched straight while the tip of her sword erupted with a menacing spark. With Shangguan Lingxiu's cultivation base that had yet to reach the heaven realm, it was an amazing feat to be able to ignite the spark; it was not even an exaggeration to say that her performance had exceeded the limitation of her cultivation base.

In spite of this, her execution of the move was insignificant compared to that of the masked leader.

He could see through it right away, that the maximum effect of Shangguan Lingxiu's technique that exceeded her cultivation base boundary would, at most, slow him down for half a breath. Despite her determination and momentum, despite her willing sacrifice, it would not impede him in the slightest.

Perhaps it would not even last half a breath.

The overestimation of her strength was not even akin to a mantis trying to block a chariot, it was more like an ant trying to shake a tree.

However, he did not know that what Shangguan Lingxiu asked for was never to take too much of his time. What she wished for was merely for the time it took to blink an eye, an instant - that would be sufficient. It would be sufficient for Yun Yang to react and defend himself, counter, or even escape.

As long as she could strive after that bit of time to let Yun Yang react, Shangguan Lingxiu would die without regrets no matter what Yun Yang's choice was.

Both sides were like two beams of light that were approaching each other rapidly high in the sky. The leader who saw Shangguan Lingxiu's calm, almost expressionless face and utterly resolute gaze sighed inwardly.

Such a beauty was to perish by his blade! Her death had to be a tragic one. It was truly a regrettable act!

By then, the swords in their hands were at a distance where they would almost collide!
