Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Brute
Above Black Cloud Academy, Xiao Yi looked up in surprise at the black clouds above.
The blue stream of light darted through wildly, causing the black clouds to churn.
Within the vast heavy black clouds, the blue stream of light appeared extremely abrupt, like a bolt of tumultuous lightning.
Around the blue stream of light, there was an aura of fierce Annihilation Wind.
The fierce wind blew, and the rapid collision of the stream of light caused the current scene of constant turmoil within the rolling black clouds.
Xiao Yi showed a look of surprise on his face.
Just at that moment, an angry shout erupted from within Black Cloud Academy.
"You brat, what madness are you stirring again?"
"The elder’s place of peace is also somewhere you dare to recklessly disturb?"
Xiao Yi recognized this voice; it was the voice of the Vice Dean.
Sure enough, swoosh, a figure shot out from within the academy, it was the Vice Dean.
Within the black clouds, a crisp shout rang out, "Hmph, his heart is guilty, uneasy, and still talking about peace?"
"Nonsense." The Vice Dean snorted coldly, just about to fly into the black clouds, but suddenly saw Xiao Yi hovering not far in the sky.
"Hmm? Xiao Yi?" The Vice Dean’s eyes glared wide.
In a flash... With a swift movement, he suddenly appeared beside Xiao Yi.
"Vice Dean." Xiao Yi nodded and gave a slight bow.
"Xiao... Xiao Yi?" The Vice Dean’s eyes widened, looking as if he’d seen a ghost.
"You’re... you’re not dead?"
The Vice Dean said, seriously scrutinizing Xiao Yi, patting Xiao Yi’s shoulder.
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow, shook his head, "No, I’m not dead."
"What’s going on?" Xiao Yi looked up at the black clouds and asked.
He naturally recognized the voice from earlier, and the chaotic blue stream of light was Qing Lin.
"Sigh." The Vice Dean sighed, "This kid Qing Lin has been causing trouble for an entire month."
"Every time Elder Yun Yuan is about to meditate, this kid suddenly appears and disrupts everything."
"Elder Yun Yuan hasn’t closed himself off for cultivation for an entire month now."
"Elder Yun Yuan?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.
"Anyway, it’s good you’re not dead." The Vice Dean smiled, full of joy, "Let me catch this kid Qing Lin first, then we can talk in detail."
Just as the Vice Dean’s words fell.
Above the black clouds, an old voice suddenly resounded.
"Qing Lin, this old man has endured you for more than a month."
"Even the elder’s place of peace isn’t spared from your constant disruptions?"
"Get down for me."
An old man emerged from the black clouds and struck a palm toward Qing Lin.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned, swoosh, vanished from where he stood.
Clang...
A crisp sword chime resonated within the black clouds.
A cold white sword light, as if piercing through the clouds.
As the sword descended, the old man’s palm was firmly blocked.
Xiao Yi stood in front of Qing Lin.
"Hmm? Who are you?" The old man stared coldly at Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi?" Qing Lin’s eyes widened behind Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn’t pay attention to Qing Lin but instead looked directly at the old man in front of him, smiling faintly.
"Although I’m not sure which elder you are from the academy."
"However, it seems that you have been a bit heavy-handed."
The old man in front was definitely a Martial Artist in the Saint Emperor Realm.
If Qing Lin were struck by that palm, even if not severely injured, he would still not be lightly wounded, needing at least ten days to half a month’s recovery to heal.
"Hmm? You are also an academic disciple?" The old man looked surprised, "To easily block an old man’s palm, you have some skills."
In the distance, the Vice Dean was also surprised, "Impressive, his sword intent arrived before his body, easily blocking Elder Hei Xuan’s palm."
Swoosh... The Vice Dean flashed and arrived.
"Elder Hei Xuan."
"Vice Dean." The old man looked at the Vice Dean and nodded.
Then, the old man looked at Xiao Yi, "Heavy-handed? I’d rather let this kid lie in bed for ten days and a half months, then at least have some peace."
"Elder Hei Xuan?" Xiao Yi murmured, sheathing his sword.
He didn’t recognize Elder Hei Xuan.
But he had seen this name on the Floating Trace Scroll of the academy before, ranked among the older elders.
"Xiao Yi." At this moment, Qing Lin said with surprise, "You’re not dead?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi felt a line of black lines appear over his head.
"Not dead, is it a surprise?" Xiao Yi said with a bit of annoyance.
"Not exactly a surprise, somewhat expected, somewhat delightful." Qing Lin laughed.
Swoosh... Just at this time, a figure appeared out of thin air.
The figure was a middle-aged man.
"It’s you?" Xiao Yi immediately recognized this middle-aged man.
Back in Tianling Forest, when he was gravely injured and near death, this person had even struck him once.
Xiao Yi remembered his appearance clearly.
"Evil Cultivator? No, Xiao Yi." The middle-aged man said slowly, his tone indifferent, but his expression was somewhat complicated.
"Elder Yun Yuan..." Qing Lin called out.
The Vice Dean gave Qing Lin a glare, "Let’s talk down there."
Then, the Vice Dean glanced at the two elders, nodded, and said, "We’ll leave you elders to your peace."
The middle-aged man nodded.
Elder Hei Xuan, however, said, "The Vice Dean’s words are too heavy."
...
The three flashed back into the academy.
"What is with you?" Xiao Yi looked at Qing Lin and asked in confusion.
The Vice Dean explained briefly.
"I see." Xiao Yi realized, glaring at Qing Lin, "You’ve been back for so long, and you didn’t even think to check Wind Shattering Hall’s branch for my news?"
If Qing Lin had checked, he would have known he wasn’t dead and wouldn’t have repeatedly caused trouble above the Black Cloud.
"How was I supposed to know?" Qing Lin said with some annoyance, "I originally planned to make a trip back to the Four-direction Domain."
"But that old coot Yun Yuan said you were definitely dead, and going back would be too late, so I didn’t go."
The Vice Dean nodded, "In fact, not only did Elder Yun Yuan make this judgment, but so did I."
"According to Elder Yun Yuan, you were gravely injured and near death; with his strength, he even struck you once more. You had no chance of survival."
"So, I gave up on the idea of going back to search for you."
"That you could return today, in an old man’s judgment, is simply a miracle."
"A miracle?" Xiao Yi smiled.
Indeed, the Vice Dean was one of the Ten Great Hall Masters of Medicine Venerate Hall, with unmatched refining skills.
As for Elder Yun Yuan, Xiao Yi, having wandered the Central Region for quite some time, naturally knew many things.
Elder Yun Yuan was one of the three Peak Sword Cultivators.
In Sword Dao, he was at the pinnacle of the era; in strength, he was among the best.
With these two’s skills, any judgment made would rarely be wrong.
And indeed, it shouldn’t be wrong.
If not for Xiao Yi cultivating the Heavenly Reversal Body Refining Technique, Asura Battle Body, with extremely amazing physique, he wouldn’t have lasted.
If not for having obtained the rare Golden Flame Sacred Fire to stabilize his injuries, he would have already been dead.
"I always said a monster like you wouldn’t die so easily." Qing Lin said with frustration.
"I shouldn’t have listened to Yun Yuan, that reckless person’s words."
"Reckless person?" The Vice Dean’s face twitched.
Xiao Yi just chuckled.
...
Second update.
