"Are you surprised to see me still alive now?"
"How can you still be alive? You should have died in that ravine!" Chen Hong asked as he stared at Ling Yun with narrowed eyes.
"Honestly, I feel grateful to you for ordering your men to dump me in that ravine back then, and I am here now because of that." Suddenly, Ling Yun took out the Chaos Dragon Broadsword and pointed it forward, and his gaze turned cold. "However, the current me now is not the old me, and I will get revenge on you today."
"Heh." Chen Hong snorted, took out his long sword, and pointed it at Ling Yun. "Unfortunately, you haven't been a cultivator for long, so you can never defeat me, let alone kill me. Since you didn't die that day, I'll kill you with my hands today, and I'll get Wen Qing back later."
Due to his arrogance, Chen Hong did not even ask about Ling Yun's true identity and kept looking down on him.
After that, Chen Hong disappeared from his sight, but Ling Yun only glanced around casually, and his eyes followed his movements.
After all, Ling Yun possessed Heavenly Eyes and Heavenly Senses, and his senses were enhanced even more after the three seals on his bloodline were unlocked.
On the other hand, Chen Hong continued to rapidly move around Ling Yun, but he was also confused to see him still acting so calmly. Moreover, he could feel his gaze never leaving him, which confused him. 'How can a novice cultivator like him be so calm? If another novice cultivator were in his position, they would have immediately fled using the returning jade.'
However, Chen Hong finally realized something about Ling Yun that shocked him greatly. 'How is this possible? Could it be that his cultivation is above mine? But that's impossible! A few months ago, he was still an ordinary human, so his cultivation couldn't be any higher than mine.'
While he was thinking that, Ling Yun was already behind Chen Hong, and he was constantly moving in sync with his movements.
Basically, Ling Yun's speed was already breakneck after he trained with the broadsword on his back, and his speed became even faster once he used one of the Four Symbols Secret Technique.
However, the other Ling Yun was still standing in place, and it was a clone produced by his Illusion Clone Technique, but Chen Hong was still unaware of it.
"Gah!" Chen Hong suddenly groaned in pain as Ling Yun kicked him in the back really hard, and his body flew toward the ground instantly.
Even so, Chen Hong immediately used his Qi, tried to stabilize himself, and landed on the ground with a few steps back. "Fuck!"
Unfortunately, Ling Yun did not give him a chance to speak, and he got behind Chen Hong again and kicked him in the back of the head.
*Bam*
"Gah!" Chen Hong was knocked down by Ling Yun's attack, and his face hit the ground hard, leaving half of his face bruised. 'Impossible! This is ridiculous! How could I lose to a novice cultivator like him.'
Ling Yun didn't directly attack Chen Hong again and asked him. "Have you noticed by now?"
"Ptui!" Chen Hong spat and stood up; he then faced him. "Who are you exactly? How did you become this strong in such a short time?"
Ling Yun chuckled at his question. "Did you think I would tell you about that? However, you may have heard of my name, for I am Ling Yun."
"What!?" Chen Hong exclaimed in shock, and his eyes stared at Ling Yun tremblingly.
Back then, Ling Yun was powerless to face his men, and they had even beaten him almost to death, so it was only natural that Chen Hong would be extremely shocked to hear his name.
After all, the current Ling Yun was much different from before, and he had already made a name for himself in the Cultivator Realm, especially after he destroyed the Shui Clan.
Although many people admired Ling Yun because of his actions, many feared and hated him, especially those from the various clans that were once under the auspices of the Shui Clan.
"Why is your body shaking like that? Where is your arrogance just now?" Ling Yun casually asked in a condescending tone.
Chen Hong became enraged by his ridicule, immediately moved toward Ling Yun, and slashed his sword repeatedly at him.
However, Ling Yun kept moving and dodging his attacks, for he didn't want to kill Chen Hong too quickly and wanted to crush his mind first before killing him.
"Bastard!" Chen Hong became even more furious at the sight, immediately released his Qi, and madly attacked Ling Yun. "Do you only know how to dodge? Fight me if you dare!"
*Clang... Clang...*
Ling Yun only smiled, ignored Chen Hong's words, and continued dodging his attacks. Yet, he also parried his attacks several times with his broadsword, which caused his blade to break slowly, especially since the level difference between their weapons was too high.
After quite a while, Ling Xi grew tired of watching Ling Yun keep toying with Chen Hong, and she asked him. "How much longer do you want to mess with him, Ling Yun? It would be best if you quickly kill this man, and we can continue building our residence."
Ling Yun smiled wryly at her question. 'Hey, Ling Xi, you can bring Wen Qing and Fang Lin here. I want to see Chen Hong's expression if he sees his ex-wife and current wife by my side.'
"You really are evil, huh!" Ling Xi said as she laughed, for she knew Ling Yun's thoughts very well. However, she immediately disappeared from the scene before returning with the two women moments later.
Suddenly, Ling Yun turned his left hand into a dragon claw and caught Chen Hong's sword, and he directly kicked his abdomen.
"Gah!" Chen Hong groaned in pain, and his body was sent flying backward quite a distance and hit the ground quite hard right after.
However, just as Chen Hong was about to stand up, Ling Yun had already moved in front of him and dropped the broadsword onto his body, causing him to spit blood from his mouth.
*Splurt*
"Cough… Cough…" Chen Hong coughed hard and tried to move the broadsword away from his body. However, he went into shock after feeling its weight. He then looked at Ling Yun fearfully as he muttered in his heart. 'Fuck! How could this broadsword be this heavy? He was deliberately toying with me from the start!'
"Before you die, I want you to see something." Ling Yun said as he looked up at the sky.
Without hesitation, Wen Qing landed directly beside Ling Yun, and she looked at her ex-husband with pity.
On the other hand, Fang Lin felt sorry for Chen Hong, and she didn't want to appear before him. However, Ling Xi suddenly pulled her to Ling Yun's side.
Chen Hong's eyes widened as soon as he saw his wife. "Why... why are you together with this bastard?"
"I-"
Before Fang Lin answered her husband's question, Ling Yun had already hugged her waist and kissed her lips, but she didn't kiss him back, for she felt guilty about Chen Hong.
"Bastard! Let go of my wife!" Chen Hong screamed in rage and tried to free himself from the broadsword's heavy pressure, but his efforts were in vain.
Hearing that, Ling Yun parted their lips and approached Chen Hong; he then squatted down by his side and touched his forehead. "I'll show you something."
Soon, the memories of Ling Yun when he dual cultivated with Fang Lin popped out in his mind, sending Chen Hong into an extreme shock.
Ling Yun smirked after seeing his expression. "How do you feel after knowing your ex-wife and your current wife fell into my hands?
*Splurt*
Suddenly, Chen Hong spat out quite a lot of blood from his mouth, for he could not accept the harsh reality that Fang Lin was so passionate when she was dual cultivating with Ling Yun, and she even kept begging him to satisfy her.
Seeing her husband look at her sorrowfully, Fang Lin sighed heavily in her heart, and she turned her head to the side, for she couldn't bear to see his expression like that.
Ling Yun immediately stood up and used the Element Control Technique, and a sword made of silver Qi appeared in his hand, which was created from his space Qi. "I've waited long enough for this day, and we will never meet again after this."
Afterward, Ling Yun thrust his silver sword Qi straight into Chen Hong's heart. Instantly, blood spurted from his chest and mouth, and the light in his eyes slowly faded.
"Even if I have to become a ghost, I will definitely hunt you until the end of your life." After he said that, his eyes lost their shine, and Chen Hong had already met his death.
Ling Yun then stored the broadsword and used his Fire Qi, and his jet-black flames quickly burned Cheng Hong's corpse. After that, he approached Fang Lin and asked her. "Do you regret his death?"
"I-" Fang Lin didn't continue her words and nodded to him, for she regretted Chen Hong's death, especially since he died after learning about her relationship with Ling Yun.
"So what do you want now?" Ling Yun asked her again.
