CHAPTER 377: 376: THE TWO COMMANDERS

The woman’s facial features were exquisitely breathtaking, with bright red kissable lips, slightly thick enough to make one crave sucking them, skin as white as snow, and shiny black hair.

{In Wuxiaworld, the translator was uncertain about the color of her hair, so I checked the raws myself and even consulted multiple experts, aka (ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Deepseek, Qwen...). The true color is black.}

Opening her eyes, they were as beautiful as a limpid dark pond, yet the indifference and coldness within them were enough to repel anyone from daring to take a second glance.

This woman was the second strongest person in the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God, and the sister of the Heart Painter Divine Regent.

Her name was Hua Qingying, known across the world as the "Sword Immortal."

In the eyes of the world, she was like a lofty lotus that grew alone in the tallest mountains, or an exiled immortal who lived alone in ancient paintings. Despite being born to a world of abyssal dust, she was untouched by mortal coil and prouder than frost.

She was the living embodiment of the word "Immortal".

Whenever the people thought of the word, they would always think of the immortal of swords who stood tall and proud among the loftiest clouds.

Hua Qingying’s legs touched the floor as she held her sword, the "Immortal End Sword." After this short half year of closed-door cultivation, she felt her progress was still stuck at the peak of the Divine Limit Realm.

It was as if a thick, immovable wall stood before her, and no amount of effort was enough to push it even a single millimeter.

She was known as the strongest person below the True God Realm in the world of Abyss, the most talented figure of her generation. Back when she was young, none of the Divine Sons or Divine Daughters could defeat her.

Her talent was so astonishing that the High Priest once commented, "If there is one person in this world who can cultivate into a True God without a divine inheritance... it can only be Hua Qingying."

Many men courted her back then, and the most outstanding among them were the Boundless Divine Son, the Dreamweaver Divine Son, and the Owl Butterfly Divine Son.

At that time, the tale of the three Divine Sons vying for Hua Qingying’s favor was easily the greatest gossip of that era.

However, no amount of courting or simping could ever sway her. She firmly believed that the heart of a sword must remain untainted and that to achieve ultimate perfection in the sword arts, one had to cast aside all desires and unnecessary emotions.

Still, there was one single exception to this, and that was her niece Hua Caili. She loved and adored her niece to the point of valuing her more than her own life. Everyone in the world knew that the Sword Immortal’s reverse scale was Hua Caili. You might survive if you offended the Sword Immortal, but only death awaited you if you so much as touched Hua Caili.

Normally, she would never leave Hua Caili’s side, but Hua Caili was still in the cradle and would not be emerging for another 230 years. In search of a breakthrough, Hua Qingying was planning to venture into the Endless Fog to temper herself, to find worthy opponents to sharpen her sword against, and perhaps even to seek out that Abyssal Qilin God once more.

...

In an unnamed Land of Living next to the Endless Fog, a small house surrounded by a transparent barrier that blocked most of the Abyssal Dust stood out conspicuously in the area.

"Wuji, how did you learn to cook so well! You didn’t give that impression at all!" Helian Lingzhu exclaimed, devouring the food as she spoke. Like anyone tasting his cooking for the first time, she had fallen in love with it instantly.

Yun Wuji leaned over and wiped the oil from her lips, saying, "Don’t talk while eating, and eat slowly. No one is going to take your food."

"Wrong! I would!" Hei Xiaolian shouted from inside the Sky Poison Pearl, stuffing her face with food.

You’er was blinking her multicolored eyes, taking tiny bites with her small mouth. Her other sister was mounted on a thick, heavy sword, leaving large tooth marks on it. The only one not eating was the Creation Goddess Li Suo. She had not fully recovered her body yet and could only watch them with curiosity, ’Could his food really be that delicious?’

"Hmm! But it’s so delicious! Compared to this, the palace chefs’ food tastes like mud!" Helian Lingzhu exclaimed, swallowing the food. She held her cheeks with both hands, savoring every bite.

"Really? Then, which is more delicious, this food or the kiss you stole earlier?" Yun Wuji tapped her nose lightly, teasing her.

A crimson flush immediately spread across Helian Lingzhu’s face. She lowered her head and whispered in a soft voice, "...I...I don’t know!"

"Really? Want to try again before you decide?" Yun Wuji leaned closer, his voice brushing against her ear.

"Hnn~!" Helian Lingzhu hummed, closing her eyes, her heart pounding with anticipation and excitement. Last time, she had been the one to take the initiative to kiss Yun Wuji, but this time it was him, which made her even happier. It meant that he liked her too!

However, even after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Confused and disappointed, Helian Lingzhu opened her eyes and saw that Yun Wuji was already standing upright, staring in a certain direction with a displeased expression.

"Wuji, is something wrong?"

Yun Wuji glanced back at her and said, "I’m afraid our kiss will have to wait. We have some uninvited guests."

"Enemies?" The romantic mood vanished instantly. She stood up, worry flashing across her face, "Is it the Pure Land?!"

She knew that Yun Wuji was very strong, but like everyone in the Abyss, the might and prestige of the Pure Land were deeply ingrained in her mind. No one, not even her, would think or dare to imagine that anyone could survive the wrath of the Pure Land.

Not even a True God.

"Yeah, you don’t have to worry. Stay here. I’m going to meet them," Yun Wuji said, reaching out to pat her head.

"No! I will go with you! If something happens, I will die with you!" Helian Lingzhu shouted, clutching the hand that patted her head with both of hers and shaking it frantically.

"Haha!" Yun Wuji chuckled at her dramatic words. She was acting as if he were going into a life-and-death battle. Shaking his head, he leaned over and kissed her forehead lightly. "Don’t be silly. I will be completely fine."

"If you’re a good girl until I come back, the next kiss will be somewhere else, alright?" His finger tapped the spot he had kissed before sliding down to her lips, caressing them softly.

"O...ok," she whispered, blinking with unfocused eyes and nodding blankly.

...

The two Abyssal Knight Commanders, Luo Ping and Yang Chen, flew side by side. A small house flashed in their vision. Yang Chen chuckled, "This guy really has no awareness at all that he’s being hunted by the Pure Land."

Less than a month ago, the High Priest Wan Dao had ordered the two Knight Commanders to teach Yun Wuji a lesson. With their speed, they easily reached the Abyssal Qilin Realm, but they could not find him. It seemed he had left after his fight with the three Abyssal Knights, likely to avoid affecting the others.

The two spent some time searching for him but could not find a single clue. It was only when they heard that someone in the Endless Fog was massacring Abyssal Beasts, accompanied by a young woman, that they followed the trail and discovered it was him.

It was funny that, despite him making no effort to hide himself, they had spent so much time looking for him.

As they got closer, they suddenly saw the door of the small house open. The figure of an impossibly handsome man stepped out. Tilting his head to the side, he stared in their direction before taking off, flying straight toward them.

"Hello," Yun Wuji waved, greeting them. "Let me guess. You are both from the Pure Land, right? An 8th level Divine Limit Realm and a 7th level Divine Limit Realm. So you are both Knight Commanders?"

He was not surprised by this. After all, last time he had easily dominated a 7th level Divine Extinction Realm Knight. Sending anyone below the commander level would have been nothing more than sending them to take another beating.

"Yun Wuji, under the command of the High Priest, we have come to punish you for your offense," Luo Ping said. Unlike Yang Chen, who had an easygoing and careless look and attitude, Luo Ping appeared cold and strict. "You can choose to surrender voluntarily or resist."

Yun Wuji did not answer them. He glanced back at the house and saw Helian Lingzhu peeking from the window. Shaking his head, he turned back to the commanders. "Punishing me?"

"Just the two of you aren’t enough. To even make me use ten percent of my strength, you would have to send all thirty-six commanders."

BOOM!

With a deafening sonic boom, he shot straight toward them. Before the two could react, he grabbed their faces, clenching them tightly in his hands, and shot far away.

Bang! Bang!

"Agh!" The two commanders reacted a moment later, detonating their profound energy and struggling to break free, but even so, they could not move his hands even an inch.

Flying tens of thousands of kilometers away, Yun Wuji finally stopped. He spun around a few times before hurling them even farther into the distance.

A fight between Divine Limit Realm profound practitioners is devastating, to say the least. The shockwaves alone could kill any God Emperor level powerhouse. He did not want some stupid side characters destroying his house or injuring his cute little lover.

"Bastard!" Luo Ping steadied himself and detonated his 8th level Divine Limit Realm aura once again, this time more fiercely. The space around him twisted like fragile paper as he shot toward Yun Wuji like a comet filled with righteous fury.

BOOOM!

"Ughhh! Ahhh!" Luo Ping had barely moved when his eyes widened to their limit. Blood shot out from his mouth like a water jet as he was sent flying back faster than he had come, crashing into the distant ground.

Yun Wuji had moved faster than Luo Ping could even perceive, burying his fist deep into his stomach and severely injuring him.
