6: Chapter 6 needs to be done again...

Ye Yun no longer held back, completely unleashing his cultivation of the Peak First-Level Martial Master Realm and his Flowing Cloud Palm at the Perfection stage.

Simultaneously, leveraging the speed advantage of his Hehuan Daoist Body, he charged toward the nearest Second-Level Martial Master like a phantom!

That Martial Artist's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, he hurriedly raised his hand to block, but his wrist was shattered by Ye Yun's palm.

Immediately after, another palm struck his forehead, and the Mystic Power directly shattered his Sea of Consciousness!

"Pfft!"

The Martial Artist died on the spot, his body slumping to the ground.

The remaining Second-Level Martial Master's legs went weak with fear, and he turned to flee.

But he was instantly overtaken by Ye Yun, who landed a palm on the center of his back; the sound of shattering bones and a miserable scream rang out simultaneously.

Having dealt with the two Second-Level Martial Masters, Ye Yun's gaze locked onto Sun Kui, and with intense killing intent, he walked toward him step by step.

Sun Kui's smile froze on his face; seeing that Ye Yun was still so terrifying despite being heavily injured, the wild joy in his heart was gradually replaced by fear.

He instinctively took two steps back and roared with feigned bravado.

"Kid, don't come any closer! I'm a Third-Level Martial Master! If you kill me, the Three Great Families won't let you off!"

"Three Great Families?" Ye Yun sneered, his voice hoarse but filled with endless mockery.

"Today, I'll start with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun's figure flashed, charging toward Sun Kui once more.

Though heavily injured, his speed remained extremely fast. His palm wind was fierce, and the agility and ferocity of the Flowing Cloud Palm were perfectly combined; every move was lethal!

Sun Kui was terrified to the extreme and could only steel himself to resist.

Although his cultivation was one level higher than Ye Yun's, Ye Yun's Martial Skill was at Perfection and his Physique was special.

Plus that life-risking ruthlessness, he actually gradually gained the upper hand!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Palms met, the shockwaves from the collision of Mystic Power swept the surroundings, and dust flew everywhere.

Sun Kui gradually ran out of strength, and the fear in his heart deepened.

He couldn't understand how a youth who had just broken through to the Martial Master Realm could have such terrifying combat power?

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Sun Kui roared madly, his eyes full of despair and resentment.

Ye Yun caught a flaw, avoided Sun Kui's palm force, and struck his shoulder.

With a crack, the shoulder blade shattered!

"Ah!" Sun Kui screamed, his body losing balance.

Ye Yun took advantage of the momentum, concentrating all the Mystic Power in his hands and slamming them onto Sun Kui's chest!

"Pfft—"

Sun Kui spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground, unable to get up again.

He watched Ye Yun approach step by step, his eyes filled with extreme fear and disbelief.

"You... what kind of monster are you?"

Ye Yun didn't answer; he stepped forward and crushed his skull with a palm strike.

Having dealt with Sun Kui, the remaining Martial Artist Realm pursuers' Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering; they didn't dare to stay and turned to flee in all directions like stray dogs.

Ye Yun wanted to pursue, but the sharp pain in his back made his vision go dark. His internal Mystic Power was heavily depleted, so he had to give up.

He looked at the three or four fleeing figures, his gaze cold, and thought to himself.

The monk can run, but the temple can't; I'll spare your lives for today, but in the future, I will slaughter the Three Great Families!

"Yun'er!" Liu Ruyan finally ran to Ye Yun's side, supporting his swaying body, tears falling uncontrollably.

"How are you? Is the injury serious?"

Ye Yun leaned into her embrace, feeling her warmth and concern; the killing intent in his heart gradually subsided.

In its place was a trace of warmth.

He shook his head gently, his voice hoarse: "I'm fine, Aunt Liu, don't worry."

Liu Ruyan looked at the blood on the corner of his mouth and the blood seeping through his back, her heart aching beyond measure, and sobbed.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't come out and distracted you, you wouldn't have been injured..."

"It's not your fault."

Ye Yun interrupted her, reaching out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, his gaze tender and firm.

"It's my fault for not protecting you well and making you worry. Now that the pursuers are dealt with, let's leave this place quickly."

Liu Ruyan nodded and supported Ye Yun as they quickly left.

...

Deep within Black Wind Ridge, in an even more secluded Karst Cave, stalactites hung like curtains, and the sound of dripping water was exceptionally clear in the silence.

Ye Yun sat leaning against the cold stone wall; the wound on his back was still seeping blood, staining most of his clothes red.

Every breath brought sharp pain to his internal organs, and his face was as pale as paper.

But his eyes were unusually calm, even carrying a hint of certainty.

Looking at the flustered Liu Ruyan, whose eyes were red, his voice was hoarse yet steady.

"Aunt Liu, I'm fine."

"You're like this and you still say you're fine!"

Liu Ruyan's voice carried a sob, tears welled in her eyes, and her delicate face flushed with anxiety.

"The wound on your back is so heavy; how could you easily withstand the palm force of a Third-Level Martial Master? We don't even have medicinal herbs for healing now, what should we do..."

She wanted to touch Ye Yun's wound but was afraid of hurting him. Her outstretched hand hesitated in mid-air, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Those misty almond eyes looked at Ye Yun, appearing so pitiful and lovely.

After the life-and-death battle just now and their previous intimacy, the way she looked at Ye Yun...

...had lost some of Aunt Liu's authority and gained some indescribable dependence and shyness.

Seeing her red eyes and panicked state, Ye Yun felt a warmth in his heart. He forced himself to raise his hand and gently grasped her wrist.

"Aunt Liu, there is a way to treat my injury."

"What way?"

Hope instantly ignited in Liu Ruyan's eyes, and she asked urgently, her long eyelashes still carrying unshed tears like pear blossoms with dew.

Ye Yun's gaze fell on her exquisite face, passing over her chest which rose and fell slightly due to her rapid breathing.

His voice lowered a bit, carrying an imperceptible heat.

"We... do what we did before, one more time."

"W-what?"

Liu Ruyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was instantly stunned, her cheeks turning bright red, even her earlobes tinged with crimson. She averted her eyes, not daring to look directly at Ye Yun.

"N-now of all times? Your injury is so heavy, and you're still thinking about such things..."

Her voice grew smaller and smaller, filled with deep shyness and a hint of reproach. She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Ye Yun held it firmly.

Liu Ruyan lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes hiding the panic in her eyes, but her lips couldn't help but purse slightly.

Revealing a complex expression of both resistance and shyness.

That struggle of knowing it was inappropriate yet being unable to completely refuse because it was Ye Yun was vividly displayed on her face.

"It's not that I want to, it's that this is the only way to heal."

Ye Yun's thumb gently rubbed the delicate skin of her wrist, his tone carrying an unquestionable seriousness.

"My Physique is special. As long as I Dual Cultivate with Aunt Liu one more time, not only will my injuries heal instantly, but my cultivation might even take a step further. And..."

He paused, looking at Liu Ruyan's increasingly red cheeks, and added.

"That one time before might not have resulted in a pregnancy. The Ye Family's lineage cannot be cut off; we have to try again, don't we?"

"You..."

Liu Ruyan looked up, her eyes carrying a hint of embarrassment and reproach, her cheeks so red they almost seemed to drip blood.

"How can you say such things so bluntly. Besides, doing that kind of thing once was already..."
