Chapter 90: The Battle Between Husband and Wife, Third Update

Night Kun and Ye Li turned to look at Virtue, Child, and the others.

“Uh... we can move the fight somewhere else.”

At this point, Ye Yushu was already terrified stiff. This silver-haired man was far too powerful, and now another woman had arrived on top of that!

One stronger than the next, and the moment they spoke it sounded as though they meant to kill each other. Their grudge must be immense!

Tong Ge regretted everything now. If he had known this would happen, he would have rather died than come to seize the bride. Was life in the imperial capital so bad? Were the girls there so ugly? Why had he been so damned stupid?

Even Virtue, Child, felt a little regret. If these two truly fought, the blast would certainly spread to him. He might be fine, but the rest of them could not withstand it...

“State your name!” Night Kun barked coldly.

Ye Li froze. In the past, no one had ever cared about shouting their names before a fight.

She had not even thought of a proper impressive title for herself yet—something distinctive, something that would make others tremble at the sound.

The crowd was baffled. Did these two need so long just to announce their names...?

“Could it be that you are the Golden Woman?” Tong Ge cried out in shock.

When Night Kun heard that, he was surprised that the other’s title was so similar to his own. He said in a deep voice, “So you are the Golden Woman. I am the Silver Man!”

Ye Li had not even come up with one herself, and someone had already named her.

Golden Woman? That was simply vulgar. It did not suit her bearing at all!

And this man actually called himself the Silver Man. That was vulgar beyond belief!

“Golden Woman! Come!” Night Kun no longer wanted to waste words. Better to see the truth in battle.

Ye Li was furious. She had not even said anything, and he had already given her such a nickname!

“I will kill you!!!” Ye Li raged. The crimson glow on Ghost Cry in her hand blazed brilliantly, and countless wronged spirits let out shrill, miserable cries.

The wedding celebration had barely ended half an hour ago, and already they were killing each other. This was no life to live.

Over the years, Night Kun had become intimately familiar with the sword arts of the lower ranks. He had studied them mainly to instruct Younger Brother. As for actual swordsmanship, for him theory outweighed practice.

He did not particularly like using a sword either. Or rather, it was not that he disliked it; it was more that if he practiced the sword, how was the enemy supposed to fight back?

Giving himself a little difficulty in the right measure was also a form of cultivation.

There was no helping it. Brother Kun could only cultivate in this way.

Ye Li’s graceful figure suddenly vanished from where she stood. Night Kun’s expression tightened. The other’s speed was astonishingly fast!

But his own speed was not slow either!

In an instant, Night Kun also disappeared from where he stood.

Boom!

A deafening crash erupted in the void. A terrifying wave of force spread outward in a circle. There was nothing left nearby to destroy anyway, save for this small company of people.

Virtue, Child immediately conjured a teleportation array. Where they were sent did not matter; the important thing was to leave this cursed place at once.

Tong Ge was loyal enough to help Eastward Fling run into the teleportation array, and Ye Yushu ran even faster than his father.

The moment they teleported away, the terrifying shockwave swept past where they had stood. It was truly a narrow escape.

Night Kun and Ye Li no longer had time to care about the others, for both were stunned by the strength of their opponent!

Ever since Night Kun had gained the power of the Heavenly Sovereign, he had felt himself invincible under heaven. Yet he had never imagined that there was always a heaven beyond heaven: this Golden Woman could actually stand on equal footing with him!

Ye Li was also deeply shocked. Though her strength was not as monstrous as her father’s, among her generation she was first without question. Even against her father’s subordinates, the outcome was often fifty-fifty!

And yet this Silver Man had blocked her blade with a single fist!

Though it was only the hilt of the sword that had been struck, her hand had still gone numb from the impact!

Both were clearly shaken by the other’s strength, and they immediately put distance between themselves, fixing one another in a hard stare.

“It has been a long time since I met an opponent like you, Silver Man!” Ye Li began to grow excited. Nothing was more interesting than a rival evenly matched with oneself!

Night Kun clenched his fist and said in a low voice, “Same here, Golden Woman.”

Ye Li: “......”

“Die!” Ye Li, now furious beyond measure, raised Ghost Cry in her hand. The wronged spirits on the blade instantly broke free. Once released, they swelled to normal size, so the scene became one of tens of thousands of vengeful souls floating in the air, baring their teeth at Night Kun. So long as Ye Li gave the order, they would devour the long-haired man whole!

“Silver Man! You may not know this, but these wronged spirits are no ordinary spirits! They still carry the power they had in life!” Ye Li said coolly, then her voice turned even colder. “Also! I am not the Golden Woman!”

Looking at the mass of black-pressing spirits, the murderous aura they emitted seemed ready to pierce the heavens. Just what sort of blade was that?

No matter what, it seemed somewhat weaker than Father’s divine sword.

“Golden Woman, do you think more of them is enough to win? How childish!”

“Heh, you’re dead today!” Ye Li now wished she could pluck the Silver Man’s hair out and stick it onto her husband’s head.

Ye Li brought Ghost Cry down from high above, and the countless wronged spirits emitted tearing screams as they lunged at Night Kun with claws bared.

Yet Night Kun’s gaze remained profound. His right fist slowly lowered to his abdomen as he said in a deep voice, “Who dies is still uncertain.”

An astonishing force gathered in Night Kun’s right hand. This power came from two Heavenly Sovereigns!

Thus, when Night Kun threw his punch, the whole world seemed to fall silent. The wronged spirits seemed frozen in place, still locked in their ferocious postures.

Boom!

Night Kun’s fist erupted with terrifying might. His cloak whipped wildly behind him, and every wronged spirit before him was sent into transcendence by a single blow.

That savage fist wind swallowed Ye Li in an instant, and even Ye Li could not help but stare in amazement. This Silver Man...

How could this be!!!

At that moment, it seemed as though the sky itself had been split in two by the punch. The dark storm clouds were blasted apart by the fist wind, and sunlight poured down upon the earth from the gap.

Night Kun lowered his head to look at his fist. That was this powerful?

As expected of the power of the two Heavenly Sovereigns. Even an ordinary punch could achieve such an effect! Too terrifying...

When the fist wind dispersed, Night Kun froze.

That Golden Woman was not dead! She was still hovering in the air! Her bearing was only somewhat disheveled, and her golden armor had dimmed considerably, even showing cracks!

At this moment, Ye Li’s mentality had utterly shattered. Since childhood, she had never once been this bedraggled!

But today...

Ye Li took a deep breath. Calm... she needed to calm herself!!!

After several deep breaths, she finally managed to settle down a little.

“You have made me very unhappy. Truly,” Ye Li said lightly, standing in the void. Night Kun sensed a subtle change in her. Just moments ago she had seemed like a fiery little girl, but now she felt more like a sovereign.

Still, Night Kun could not help but marvel that after taking his punch, she was only somewhat damaged in her armor. If he had been wearing armor like that...

“Being unhappy is natural. Since your unhappiness makes me happy, then after I beat you to death, I’ll be even happier!” The Evil Path power within Night Kun was already affecting him, and his strength continued to rise without pause.
