825 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 7 (1/2)
It was this vigilance rising from the bottom of his heart countless times a day that urged him to seize each opportunity to enhance his cultivation base and move forward with all he could muster! It also told him to scavenge for resources however he could, to cultivate and practice his martial skills to the brink of exhaustion and to refine his saber truth…
Perhaps, it should be put in this manner; it was this constant guardedness that caused him to conceal his presence using every trick he had up his sleeves. As far as he had made it, he had tried to use his wits in fighting the enemies he met. It allowed him to almost never have a direct altercation with his enemies during this long period of vengeance.
Keeping his abilities concealed and faking a weak front for so long, he would finally triumph over the world now that he could unleash his true potential!
This was not him rambling in incoherence after scoring once, this was him basking in his value and absolute confidence!
”His intelligence quakes the mountains; he immerses himself in refining his skills. For three years the world misses his absence, the heaven and earth shake when the treasured saber is unsheathed!”
Many years later, the story of Supreme Cloud would be passed down throughout the world. His experience of years of suffering and training before he made his comeback was spread across Tianxuan in the form of novels. The Board of War's President, who had later become the Grand Commandant, Wu Ying, broke his long-standing habit of having few words to say and composed a poem as he got tipsy. The two characters stood dependent on each other as their names were written down in history, to be sung praises for all eternity.
…
Accompanying Yun Yang was Ji Lingxi, who looked even more relaxed than the youth himself.
The Four Seasons Tower that had initially weighed them down and was regarded as an immense threat had now become an insignificant character unworthy of their worry.
As the previous confrontation came to its end, it gave an amazing boost to the couple's confidence.
”Tianxuan Cliff!” Yun Yang sighed softly. ”My brothers are all here. Watching the Four Seasons Tower's men meet their ends at my hands, one after another, I can totally feel how gratified and comforted they're now.”
”Didn't you say that a few among them aren't dead yet? If they're all here, delightedly watching us, it won't be good. At least, I don't want big brother's spirit here – I don't want to miss the day I meet him again!” Ji Lingxi replied with a chuckle.
Yun Yang exhaled a faint sigh and said, ”You've misunderstood me. We may be at different places now, separated in the realms, but our hearts have never been apart. What I exclaim now is just because I have yet to see them before me alive.”
A voice suddenly cut them off.
”I didn't expect Lord Supreme Cloud to be such a sentimental person. What a pity that the battleground is fraught with danger and life and death are but the blink of an eye. However, if Supreme Cloud really wishes to see them again, it's not exactly difficult. I shall send Lord Supreme Cloud on your way and you'll be able to arrive before them immediately. You don't have to reminisce with such longing…”
Yun Yang turned swiftly and with an upraised hand, a ray of saber light lashed out like a bolt of lightning.
A loud clang was heard. With the resonation of the collision, the man who spoke just now withdrew promptly with a drawn-out laugh.
A shower of cold sparks could then be seen flying over from another direction.
