Invincible Powers - Chapter 63: Internecine
Yu Yuan was speechless from all the pain.
He could feel a wild and powerful force ravaging throughout his organ.
Even in his soul, an indescribable pain invaded him, tearing apart everything inside.
Gasp, gasp, gasp!
As he breathed heavily, his body was shaking on the thin stone steps, seemingly about to fall any time.
There was still a long way before reaching the bottom from where he was standing, and if he fell, his death would be certain.
Even if he didn’t fall from his current height, his current condition would probably kill him with all the excessive spiritual energy in his body.
He could either die instantly by jumping off or endure this unbearable pain and die slowly.
Below, Fan Li smiled victoriously.
“One, two, three, four…”
He counted silently in his mind.
He believed that Yu Yuan would soon choose to end his pain indefinitely by jumping off the cliff.
He knew very well that the pain was much worse than one’s fear of death.
Honestly, he thought to himself, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care how he dies, just as long as it happens.
He closed his eyes.
“Thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two…”
With every number that he counted, his joy gradually faded. Finally, he reopened his eyes.
Looking up at the stone stairs along the edge of the crater, he saw that Yu Yuan was still swinging back and forth and suffering from the pain.
Unexpectedly, Yu Yuan still hadn’t chosen to jump.
Rather, with astonishing willpower, he was still standing up there.
He was still hoping to live… even if it was just a little longer.
“Not bad.”
Fan Li muttered and slightly changed his mind on Yu Yuan. He thought that as long as Yu Yuan had the time and opportunity, Yu Yuan would definitely be a nuisance in the long run.
Unfortunately, he wouldn’t allow that to happen.
He had to kill Yu Yuan once and for all.
…
“Fan Li started,” said the old general at the entrance of the Forbidden Land.
“What a dirty move, sneaking in some of his spiritual power while Yu Yuan was absorbing the natural energy around him.”
Li Yuchan frowned. “Do you want to stop them before it’s too late?”
“You pay attention to the situation. When Yu Yuan is about to jump, let him fall, just not all the way to the ground.” The old general watched every move over there carefully with his mind sighting abilities. “As long as he doesn’t jump off, he won’t die easily. Fan Li’s energy will only slow torture Yu Yuan to death.”
“I should have expected this from Fan Li.” Li Yuchan said.
“To be honest, I admire that bad boy very much.” The old general squinted. “Even though I don’t like how he acts, after all, he is still one of the future cornerstones of the empire. His wits will be crucial to the empire’s future.”
“He can achieve his goals through any means possible, and he never hesitates to kill.”
“Anyone he hates will eventually get eliminated. That is, even Li Yu and Yan Lu are both far incomparable to his mind in regards to scheming. No matter if he chooses to be a general or the head of the Fan Clan, his future will be great.”
The old general evaluated.
Li Yuchan nodded in agreement, “If Fan Li and I were at the same level, he would definitely give me a hard time.”
…
Gasp, gasp, gasp!
On the stone steps, Yu Yuan was still shaking back and forth, and his organs were being torn apart
Around his chest, the spiritual energy was continuing its rampage.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
“You will die regardless, just jump down and end it all faster.”
“Why bother?”
“You know that you won’t be able to hold much longer.”
“Jump…“
Some thoughts that didn’t belong to him rushed into his mind.
“No! I cannot die here. I still have to take my revenge!”
Repeatedly being tortured by the energy trapped in his body, Yu Yuan suppressed the thought of death over and over again.
“I have to get power from somewhere!”
He remembered the sword light that he obtained shortly before.
Thinking about the sword light, Yu Yuan suddenly noticed that Fan Li’s mad spiritual energy wasn’t able to attack his arms or shoulders where the sword light was stored.
As soon as the energy approached the parts of his body with sword light, it immediately changed its path toward elsewhere.
It seemed to be trying to avoid something.
I can’t comprehend your true power, but since you landed on my body, that means you chose me!
And now, I need your help!
Yu Yuan used his Soul of Heaven, his most powerful soul, to attempt to seek help from the sword light in his body.
Suddenly, he shook abruptly again.
After talking to the sword light, his two arms suddenly shone brightly!
He could feel that there seemed to have small fishes swimming under his skin.
They were in fact the sword light.
Everywhere that the sword light went through, it ruthlessly obliterated Fan Li’s spiritual power.
The powerful and ancient strength instantly filled Yu Yuan’s body.
Puff, puff!
Just like a purifier, it washed Yu Yuan’s inner body clean from the destructive energy.
The pain that he was feeling earlier from his organs quickly disappeared.
Finally, he was able to keep his balance again from falling down the cliff. With the help of his sword qi, Fan Li’s energy was easily defeated.
Without knowing, his body was emitting a bright milky halo.
He looked down toward Fan Li with his cold, deadly eyes.
It was Fan Li’s turn to be terrified.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he nodded at Yu Yuan with a calm smile on his face.
Yu Yuan saw and smiled back in response.
Silent, he started walking up again, as if nothing had just happened.
Fan Li did not try to attack again.
However, his sight never left Yu Yuan until his body disappeared behind the cave.
Even then, he still stared blankly at the sky, not willing to look in another direction.
“Fan Li? Why have you not attacked?” Someone asked in a low voice.
“Protect me while I cultivate.” Without answering the question, he took out a fragrant pill, swallowed it, and began recovering.
Only Yu Yuan and he knew that the sword light had crushed the spiritual energy that he sent into Yu Yuan’s body, making himself injured as well.
Yu Yuan was hurt, and he was badly wounded.
The two of them agreed to a cease-fire with a simple glance, because both were smart enough to tell that continuing would only let them be open to threats from others.
Yu Yuan!
Fan Li thought as he remembered Lin Zhuyun’s words.
If Yu Yuan was in the same realm as he was, could he have stood a chance?
Not only did he fail his first match, but both were hurt as a result.
How could the method that Yu Yuan used to attack him seem quite familiar?
