Seeing Que Yun approaching step by step, Yun Roumu was deeply alarmed.

To avoid dragging Ye Yu down, she prepared to turn and leave, intending to draw Que Yun’s attention away.

Only in this way could Ye Yu be temporarily safe.

However, just as Yun Roumu turned, a terrifying pressure struck her, rendering her unable to move through the air.

“I said, in front of me, you have no chance to…” Que Yun began, but suddenly changed his tone. “Hey, kid, what are you doing?”

At that moment, Ye Yu had arrived behind Yun Roumu, preparing to knock her unconscious.

But Que Yun’s interruption instantly raised Yun Roumu’s alertness. She turned her head and saw Ye Yu standing right behind her, his right hand tightly clenched into a fist.

The distance between them was less than half a meter.

Ye Yu felt immensely embarrassed, with a thousand curses raging in his mind.

The old bastard is so shameless. Why did he have to interrupt at such a critical moment? Some things are not convenient for girls to see.

However, the immediate priority was to figure out how to explain things.

While Ye Yu was struggling internally, Yun Roumu’s gaze softened. She took Ye Yu’s tightly clenched right hand in hers.

“Junior Brother, I know you want to protect me, but this approach won’t work. I heard that the Blood Demon Sect leader had already reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm a hundred years ago. We are no match for him.”

Clearly, Yun Roumu mistook Ye Yu’s actions as an attempt to protect her, and she was quite touched.

Ye Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator? He wondered if the Lichun Jade could withstand it.

Que Yun laughed heartily. “The Saintess is right. Don’t waste your efforts. Kid, don’t worry, my blade is swift; you won’t feel any pain.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Roumu drew a sword from her storage ring and held it to her neck. “Let my Junior Brother go, or I’ll end my life right here and give you nothing.”

Facing such a threat, Que Yun’s expression remained calm. “Haven’t you heard? In the face of absolute power, suicide is an extreme luxury.”

“As long as I don’t want it, you won’t die. But your Junior Brother must die today!”

Having said that, Que Yun cast a spell with one hand.

A golden chain-like phantom appeared around Yun Roumu, tightly binding her and rendering her incapable of even moving a finger, let alone committing suicide.

After doing this, Que Yun intended to kill Ye Yu and then take Yun Roumu away from this place. He had already delayed long enough.

Thus, Que Yun suddenly raised his great axe and swung it through the air.

A black blade of light shot forth.

At this critical moment, Ye Yu disregarded everything else and immediately activated the Ascension Realm experience card.

In an instant, countless sword hums filled the air.

Following that, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire scene. The blade of light shattered instantly.

Que Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked ahead.

He couldn’t understand why Ye Yu, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, had suddenly surged to such a terrifying level of power.

In the next moment, as Ye Yu raised his right hand and lightly pointed forward in the air, Que Yun’s huge great axe turned into powder and blew away with the wind.

Seeing this, Que Yun was filled with immense fear.

The great axe was a lower-grade spiritual weapon.

Originally, Que Yun had hoped to refine Yun Roumu into a spirit for this weapon to increase its power and use it to vie for the strongest position in the Central Continent.

This axe was the embodiment of all his hopes.

But now, it had been effortlessly shattered.

Ye Yu was definitely more than just a Tribulation Realm cultivator. He was likely a legendary Ascension Realm master.

At this thought, Que Yun’s mind was dominated by a single idea: escape!

The farther, the better.

But with Ye Yu now temporarily in the Ascension Realm, how could he let Que Yun leave so easily? He immediately deployed the Profound Heart Sword, and countless sword qi instantly shredded Que Yun.

Yun Roumu stared at Ye Yu, who seemed like an immortal, in a daze, unsure of what to say.

Ye Yu’s expression remained calm, but his mind was racing.

Originally, he hadn’t planned to reveal his strength in front of Yun Roumu.

But Que Yun acted too quickly, leaving Ye Yu no choice but to use the Ascension Realm experience card for self-preservation.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust the Lichun Jade.

It’s just that, although this high-grade spiritual artifact was reputed to withstand a full attack from a Tribulation Crossing realm cultivator, Ye Yu harbored doubts.

This jade didn’t stop Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei’s attacks in the dream, leading to his demise.

Given that this was reality, Ye Yu couldn’t afford to take chances and had to go all out.

However, while Que Yun had been dealt with, explaining the situation to Yun Roumu was a troublesome matter.

Ye Yu really didn’t want to harm this Saintess of the Azure Cloud Sect.

After all, they got to know each other, and Yun Roumu had just tried to exchange her life for his safety. Even though she had failed, Ye Yu recognized this gesture.

After some contemplation, Ye Yu said in a deep voice, “Senior Sister, the truth is, I am a reincarnated immortal. Do you believe it?”

Yun Roumu’s face showed utter surprise.

Ye Yu then launched into an elaborate explanation.

According to him, he was an immortal from the heavenly realm who had lost a battle against a rival and was thus reincarnated into the mortal world to continue his cultivation.

He was essentially recycling Zuo Yingchun’s story.

Moreover, Ye Yu emphasized that he had just used a secret technique to elevate his cultivation to the Ascension Realm, which could only be sustained for the duration of an incense stick’s burning time.

Once this period was over, his Ascension Realm power would dissipate.

This technique could only be used once in a lifetime, so Ye Yu needed Yun Roumu to keep this secret.

Until he possessed absolute strength, she must not reveal his true identity as a reincarnated immortal, or it would be very dangerous.

Yun Roumu’s expression was fascinating.

It sounded incredible, but considering that she herself was a half-demon, she found it less surprising.

A half-demon?

Suddenly feeling a deep sense of grievance, Yun Roumu started to cry.

The unexpected tears caught Ye Yu off guard.

“Senior Sister, why are you suddenly crying?”

Yun Roumu pointed at the butterfly wings on her back, sobbing uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Ye Yu quickly realized.

Yun Roumu was crying because of her half-demon status.

It was indeed quite miraculous, transforming from an ordinary person into a half-demon. It’s something that would be hard for anyone to accept.

Ye Yu glanced at the large wings behind Yun Roumu.

They were indeed quite beautiful, with intricate patterns that complemented Yun Roumu’s stunning appearance, giving her the aura of a fairy.

So, Ye Yu tried to comfort her, “Senior Sister, to be honest, these wings really do look quite beautiful. Flapping and sparkling with a starry effect, isn’t that something special?”

It would be better not to say this.

As soon as he said it.

Yun Roumu cried louder!
