I Am Supreme

Chapter 565: A Life and Death Situation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everything had come full force, but the intensity of it was beyond Yun Yang\'s expectations.

Upon seeing the mass of black encroach so swiftly and aggressively, Yun Yang had imagined that the clouds would crush him into minced meat, killing him thoroughly. After all, this would be the most direct and irreversible method to get rid of him.

With Yun Yang\'s cultivation base capability and his judgment regarding the inky mass, he could do nothing but await his death if the other party had really taken that path. He simply had no way to even resist the attack. Looking at the massive mountain of clouds, he was doubtful that he was able to defend himself at all.

The reality, however, was the disappearance of the dark clouds that filled the sky once they came near enough to his head.

That was it. The dark clouds that had spread wide and far and had almost covered more than half of Tiantang City had vanished within the blink of an eye!

The clear sky and bright sun greeted everyone again, while white, fluffy clouds hovered in the air. It was like a whole new world.

At the moment of change, it was like heaven and earth had suddenly lost their order, going from extreme darkness to extreme brilliance. It was quick, like the exhalation of a single breath, but heaven and earth had changed colors.

Countless pairs of eyes were blinded by the sudden sunlight, but Yun Yang was unaffected. His pupils contracted instead, as his vision zeroed in on the sky.

While the dark clouds had dissipated, there was still a strange black flag fluttering in the sky in a ghastly manner. Under the flag was a silhouette that was descending like a fallen meteor. It had a lean body with a sculpted face, a man dressed entirely in black and exuded an indescribable sense of eeriness.

What caught Yun Yang\'s attention was the dark, onyx, luster that covered the person\'s right arm and the cruel grin on his face as the person dashed towards Yun Yang, fast as a lightning strike. The right arm was lashing out at a fatal point on Yun Yang\'s chest!

Once the other party emerged, Yun Yang had already sensed it. He was also prepared to counter any strike that might be unleashed, as the attacker bolted down, but when the man in black arrived in front of Yun Yang, he felt that he could not even move. He couldn\'t even move his body or blink, let alone avoid or defend against an attack.

The attacker\'s aura had secured Yun Yang entirely, exacting a restrictive force that was several dozen times stronger than him, which restrained Yun Yang from even fidgeting; every strand of his hair was constrained by the attacker. He could only watch as a violent palm reached towards his chest. He even saw the black flag make a turn without anyone manipulating it in the sky, the tip of the flag coming right at his chest.

This seemingly unnecessary action was only to ensure that he was thoroughly killed and prevent any chances of a mistake taking place.

Yun Yang sighed softly in his heart. He, who was at the juncture of life and death, smiled.

Finally, this moment had come!

Finally, this day had arrived!

He still had to die after all.

The recent period of uneasiness and today\'s premonition had proven true today!

The other party had the ghoulish flag to depend on and had found him easily with its assistance. He also had an exceptional cultivation base that Yun Yang could hardly contend with. The attacker did not even leave him room for pleasantries. The murderous intent was blatant.

There was simply no side of the attacker that Yun Yang could attack. No matter how many tricks or strategies he had, he could only sigh in futility as he could not avoid the attacker\'s amazing tactics.

"Such is life; this is the end today!"

As his smile faded away, Yun Yang\'s expression turned to one of nonchalance. He watched the man in black approach from the sky quietly and waited for his death to come.

Yun Yang had never been one to give up easily and willingly, but this person who was coming for his life was unpredictably skilled. Just the ability to descend from the sky and ride the mass of dark clouds for hundreds of thousands of miles, as well as the superior ability to restrain him, indicated that the other party was no less skilled compared to Ling Xiaozui and others. Even if a difference were to exist, it had to be rather insignificant. It was simply not a fight he could win.

"My reputation as Supreme Cloud would not suffer from being killed by such an expert… How does that saying go again? The end of a legend, the final chapter today?" Yun Yang was self-depreciating, painfully aware that he was unable to resist the attack.

At the final moment, he heard an odd sound - an extremely shrill cry.

Yun Yang shook himself from his morbid reverie.

Ji Lingxi!

Right as the name came to his mind, he felt a soft body charging into his embrace faster than the lightning could reach him. Before grief could even wash over Yun Yang, he was filled with endless confusion.

The attack from the person in the sky was ass quick as lightning and abrupt like the thunderbolt; the intention to kill was absolute. Even if Ji Lingxi had been substituted by Ling Xiaozui, it was impossible for either of them to save him, given the blinding speed of the attack…

Then, how had Ji Lingxi done it?

As the next thought arose, Yun Yang felt grief wash over him like a tidal wave.

"Lingxi!"

Yun Yang shouted; his hidden potential charged through his personal barrier from the extreme anguish, breaking through the restraining power of the attacker\'s aura. This was how the agonized moan came about.

In his embrace, the soft body that was still hugging him tightly convulsed; her back was arched as much as it could to take the fatal blow!

…

Ji Lingxi was happy that her crush was finally enlightened and was bustling in the kitchen. Suddenly, she remembered that when they would have their meal later, they would surely be drinking wine. Should she heat up the wine, since the weather was so cold?

This was a minor issue, but her sister-in-law had told her that men would usually omit the details, but pay attention to the care poured into it. Should she perfect this part, her crush would like her even more.

Having made her decision, she hurried back to her room to retrieve a rose-gold gourd. The item was nothing special, but it was a utensil his older brother had often kept wine in when he was at home. She remembered that her brother had mentioned that the taste was the best when heating up wine using this rose gold gourd.

Ji Lingxi had planned for it to be a long journey, leaving home to search for her elder brother, so she had naturally brought the wine ware her brother had praised so highly.

She had thought things out nicely, but just as she exited the door, she was met with the sight of Yun Yang entrapped in a lethal threat. Her mind was blank, she did not know what she was thinking nor how she did it.

She only had one thought - I must block it for him! Even if I were to perish, he… must not die!

Therefore, she had bolted over with all her might. Like a horse galloping across the prairie, she was instantly within Yun Yang\'s embrace! It was also at the same moment that she arched her back painfully. She truly had no other thoughts but one - \'he will be injured even if I die but with me as a barrier, his injury will be less severe!\'

…

At that moment, amidst Yun Yang\'s heart-wrenching roar, mixed with the man in black\'s delirious and brutal laughter in the sky, the man clad in black did not hesitate despite the uninvited addition; instead, he exerted more force.

"What intense feelings! Do you intend to sacrifice yourself to save him? Let me give the both of you my blessing to die together!"

He guffawed deliriously.

With a loud bang, his palm landed firmly on Ji Lingxi\'s back.

The power contained within that strike could have flattened a small hill! Yun Yang\'s heart thumped insanely. He would rather die than to have Ji Lingxi suffer from any injury!

This was his eighth brother\'s younger sister!

He had expended so much effort to persuade the lady to step out so that she could escape this battle. As long as he died, the attacker might not kill anybody else or annihilate the rest in the Residence of Yun. Never had he thought that the stubborn girl would be in time to witness the scene and even force an intervention?

How could Ji Lingxi\'s fragile physique withstand the earth-shattering palm strike?

Yun Yang desired nothing else but to condemn the man dressed in black, "If you are so skilled in your cultivation base, why couldn\'t you attack faster? How could you let a girl force herself into the path of attack? Why the f*ck did you draw back the clouds and make an appearance? For show? Kill me, and we wouldn\'t have this drama now!"

Amidst the chaos, Yun Yang, the man clad in black, and Ji Lingxi all heard a rebuke that came from out of thin air.

"F*ck! Gou Dai!"
