I Am Supreme

Chapter 858: He’s Out

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Lingxi was waiting quietly at the lakeside. Yun Yang had yet to resurface, even after the sky was starting to turn lighter.

It’s been one whole night and he still hasn’t surfaced?

Throughout the entire time, the surface of the lake remained calm, without the slightest hint of ripples. It seemed unusually quiet, but there was a whole living human being in it!

Where had Yun Yang gone to?

Even after waiting until daybreak, Yun Yang still had yet to appear. She could not help but feel alarmed.

Maybe he had encountered some sort of danger? Perhaps he had been ambushed… maybe he had been eaten by a large fish?

Reaching this thought, Ji Lingxi jumped into the water without wasting another moment.

Even after swimming a few rounds in the Seven Star Lake, she still could not detect any signs of Yun Yang. She was unable to stop herself from panicking!

He had clearly gone down there, but why was there no sign of him?

She surfaced for a moment to take another breath before submerging once more to continue the search.

Ji Lingxi stayed and searched in the lake for a whole day, but not the slightest glimpse of Yun Yang could be found.

Eventually, the ten or so people who had become recluses in this area came over to inquire after him.

“Young lady, did Lord Supreme Cloud go down under to look for the secret?”

“Tsk tsk… we’ve tried many times to scour the bottom of this lake in the past. Although we couldn’t find anything, there was no real danger down below.”

“Why has he vanished? This is such a strange thing indeed.”

“Aah… perhaps… Lord Supreme Cloud has suffered the wrath of the heavens?”

“This is rather hard to tell…”

“Say, what should be done?”

“Aah… this rather unpleasant to say…”

Ji Lingxi was extremely anxious, her mental state overwhelmed by wild panic. Judging by the time that had elapsed since Yun Yang had entered the lake, these people assumed that he must have been struck by some form of misfortune, and began to gloat as they rode on her distress.

They decided to stay, watching by the lakeside as Ji Lingxi combed through the lake, again and again, shedding crocodile tears as they offered doses of condolences when she surfaced in between each dive. There was not really a problem, generally speaking — they did not give Ji Lingxi a reason to get mad.

However, their gloating was very apparent, vividly displayed in plain sight.

Anger sparked within Ji Lingxi’s heart bit by bit, and gradually reached a boiling point — suddenly, she erupted.

Do you think you’re safe because you’ve survived the bigger picture? If I want to kill all of you, do I need a reason to do so?

Is there a need?

Is there no need?

There isn’t really a need!

“Even if Supreme Cloud is dead, there’s still no reason for trash like you to gloat yet! Die, all of you—”

Ji Lingxi went berserk in absolute rage, and charged into a killing spree!

Her initial strike immediately eliminated four of them at once, and noting that she might as well finish what she started, she promptly went after the heads of the remaining seven, hunting them down at full force!

She was already full of gloominess and feeling frustrated without the room to release her pent-up negativity. With the men here fanning the flames by gloating incessantly, how could she still uphold her ladylike demeanor?

Who gave you the nerve to make fun of Supreme Cloud in front of me?

Do I look like some nice, good-natured lady to you?

Her eyebrows dipped down in anger as she commenced her killing spree. In just a few moments, all eleven of them had been massacred.

Frankly speaking, these eleven men had signed up for death on their own accord. These people were most likely too obsessed with the cultivation atmosphere here to the point where the level of their experiences and mental state were far from the level of their actual cultivation bases. They neither had the courageous heart of a warrior nor the experience of a learned man, doing all it takes shamelessly for their personal gains. They forgot their place and provoked unrivaled experts in the process — did they not deserve it? How could they still be left alive?

Ji Lingxi’s bloodlust had been surging violently since that encounter with the man who claimed to watch his family die before his eyes. She wanted to just kill them all then and there, but as Yun Yang had not said anything, she forcefully suppressed that urge to kill.

She never imagined that these men would be so boldly insensitive — gloating shamelessly even after cheating death once. Like a cat licking a tiger’s nose, they had effectively signed themselves up for death.

With a final crash, the final fellow also lost his life to Ji Lingxi.

A fair little palm fanned outwards with tremendous force, instantly throwing that man into the air and spinning him rapidly for a good few hundred rounds.

His head and neck spun for a few extra rounds, and with another slap, the head was detached from the torso. The body fell into the Seven Star Lake, while the head arced into the other side of the mountain with a loud whistle…

Ji Lingxi’s entire being was still surging with a murderous aura. The whites of her eyes had turned red, clearly indicating that her anger had not dissipated as she surveyed the scene to see if anyone had escaped…

Fortunately, the water surface was disturbed with a splash.

Ji Lingxi turned her head promptly towards the direction of that sound. She found Yun Yang floating on the water surface, looking extremely exhausted as he swam towards the shore with great difficulty. It was as if he had just gone through a massive battle, for he was completely void of energy — every step and movement seemed to take a huge toll on him.

“Aaa—”

Ji Lingxi could not refrain herself from letting out a cry of surprise — or delight — when she was presented with such a sight. She dashed over quickly to fish Yun Yang out of the water and found that he was completely out of energy. His complexion was sallow and he looked as if he had wilted, every ounce of his strength sapped out of him.

“Y-You… you… what happened…”

“Stop talking… get me up there quickly…” Yun Yang might be completely without strength, but his tone was still as haughty as ever.

Without another word, Ji Lingxi grabbed Yun Yang and dashed up the shore like she was dragging a gigantic piece of salted fish. Her mood did not shift from sorrow to delight in a gradual manner; she was literally dancing with euphoria, completely pumped with ecstatic joy.

Anything is possible as long as he lives — even if he’s completely out, a few days of rest will do the job!

“When did you surface?”

“The moment you started that killing spree of yours… just when you’ve eliminated the first four…”

“Then why didn’t you say something? If you did, I wouldn’t have gotten my hands dirty!”

“I was afraid that you wouldn’t kill them when you happily see me safe and sound…”

Ji Lingxi blushed. “Who cares about you, you shameless fool?”

…

Moments later.

“What happened to you? What did you do to make yourself so exhausted? Why aren’t you able to recover even after such a long time?”

“It’s a long story.”

Yun Yang sighed and started to describe his experience. After all, he had completely and impulsively exhausted his entire cultivation reserve twice in such a short period of time. Surely anybody who had done that would be horribly dispirited and burnt out to this extent.

“You stored it away?” Ji Lingxi’s eyes grew round with interest. “Can I see it?”

“Cough… Later I’ll put you into the space, you can go in and have a look yourself… I can’t produce it right now.” Yun Yang’s lips moved again.

He had truly exerted all his strength this time to retrieve this piece of Stellar Steel, almost throwing his life away underwater in the process.

Recalling the prior events, he could still feel the terror of that moment creeping up to him, making him shudder with fear.

“There’s no way I’m going in there to see it.” Ji Lingxi snorted, her face turning crimson.

“Why not?” Yun Yang was puzzled.

Emmie aside, the few Whiteys in that space were still radiating with life — proving that putting an entire person in there would not be a problem at all.

As he stared at Ji Lingxi’s dark expression, he truly did not understand what this little girl was red-faced about. You’re interested in it after all, so why are you refusing to enter?
