Fan Wubing felt a sense of gratitude in his heart,

"Heaven above, disciple Fan Wubing begs the Seven Luminaries True Monarch for the grace of rain!"

[You feel grateful to the Seven Luminaries True Monarch, calling forth wind and rain. The cultivation progress of the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill +23%, current progress 65%]

Dark clouds appeared instantly, pressing low in the sky. The rain poured down like irrigation, crashing to the ground. The atmosphere suddenly became particularly heavy.

The heavy rain disrupted the aura within the environment.

Ye Wuyue frowned,

"It's raining?"

She didn't like rainy days.

Because, the rain is always so noisy, making it hard to find peace of mind.

She looked ahead again, and discovered that... Fan Wubing had disappeared.

Hmm?

Escaped?

She immediately released her spiritual sense to search for Fan Wubing,

"Over here!"

Her spiritual strength was also extremely high, immediately sensing Fan Wubing's presence.

But then, she was stunned?

Because, this aura, was indeed stronger than the previous Fan Wubing by a degree!

Why?

Could he be hiding more power?

"Hmph, no matter how much you hide, you're just a Third-Layer Golden Core!"

Ye Wuyue was unfazed. The gap of three levels was like a chasm, not easily crossed. Moreover, she was a princess of the Great Li Dynasty, with excellent talent and access to abundant resources from an early age, never lacking combat practice. Even when facing opponents one or two levels higher than her, she had the power to fight back.

A mere Third-Layer Golden Core is nothing!

Seeing Fan Wubing flicker continuously in the heavy rain, Ye Wuyue said coldly,

"Jumping clown!"

She never liked rainy days, and seeing the rain increasingly heavy, she lost patience to keep sparring with Fan Wubing. A gigantic palm imprint suddenly appeared, so large it could be seen clearly even from several streets away. The color of the palm imprint was also no longer red-gold but a pure brilliant gold.

Under such a palm imprint, let alone a Third-Layer Golden Core, even a Fifth-Layer Golden Core would be immobilized.

Fan Wubing's figure emerged suddenly from the turbulent downpour.

He was expressionless, eyes cold, staring dead at Ye Wuyue.

Seeing such a gaze, Ye Wuyue's breath caught suddenly.

What's with that gaze! So cold, it doesn't seem human.

She quickly calmed herself... What's wrong with me, scared by a Third-Layer Golden Core?

Fan Wubing inhaled the "fragrant" breath of the rain with enjoyment,

"Really not considering taking cover from the rain?"

"To deal with you, what does it have to do with the rain!"

Fan Wubing pointed to his head,

"See this?"

"What?"

Fan Wubing grinned,

"Oh, I forgot, you can't see it."

There were passive stacks of "Heart-Burn" on his head. At this moment, the stacks were at: 16 layers.

With the dual effects of the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill and the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill. He circled in the rain, stacking 16 layers of "Heart-Burn".

The enhancement to all attributes was 1.6 times.

And by continuously performing the Blood Burning Skill, his cultivation was pushed to the Fourth-Layer Golden Core.

"Playing tricks!" Ye Wuyue snorted coldly, suddenly striking down the brilliant golden giant palm imprint.

The range was too large, couldn't dodge it.

So, Fan Wubing didn't even think about dodging, instead breaking through forcibly, fighting head-on!

The brilliant golden palm imprint pierced through the rain screen, falling down.

In an instant, the exploding rain fog covered the entire street, the ground erupting with dense fragments of stones, the dust was instantly swallowed by the rain fog, dyed in a layer of gray.

[HP -6972, Current HP 1107]

Survived!

Furthermore, the passive "Tongue Lust" triggered, instead absorbing and converting a portion of celestial energy.

["Tongue Lust" triggered greatly, you absorbed some celestial energy, HP max +348 points]

Unfortunately, the HP max conversion from "Tongue Lust" did not receive enhancement from the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill.

It seems that the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill can only enhance temporary positive effects.

But, having withstood it, then next, it's my turn!

Fan Wubing's eyes sparkled with intense light, already holding the black frying pan.

Ye Wuyue originally thought that after that palm, Fan Wubing, if not dead, would be severely injured, definitely unable to move, relaxing slightly. It was this slight relaxation that made her miss the best reaction time.

Only to see Fan Wubing suddenly rushing through the gray rain fog, like an unbridled wild horse, dashing to her front.

Then, her head was hit by something heavy.

Immense power, made her instantly dizzy.

What's going on?

What happened?

Fan Wubing, why does he act like nothing happened! I clearly felt that palm imprint hit him! He should've been on the brink of death, unable to move!

Indeed, with only 1107 HP left, less than 5%, for an ordinary person, it would mean severe injury and near-death.

But, for Fan Wubing, as long as the blood bar wasn't empty, it wasn't a problem!

Ye Wuyue, not lacking as a Sixth-Layer Golden Core genius, immediately stabilized her spirit, launching another attack.

However, having already been engaged in close combat, would Fan Wubing give her the chance to unleash a second brilliant golden palm imprint?

He's not that stupid.

"Stop for me!"

Once again rushing through the gray rain fog, Fan Wubing struck her head again with the frying pan.

This time, it broke her defense.

Her left face instantly deformed, a splash of blood shot out from her mouth.

Ye Wuyue hurriedly steadied herself, using her body technique divine technique to distance herself from Fan Wubing. She touched her left face, screeching,

"You dare slap my face! No one has ever slapped my face! How dare you! Damn it!"

When she saw that Fan Wubing's weapon was a frying pan, she became even more enraged.

She, the proud daughter of heaven, seemed never to have suffered such a defeat; her arrogant pride shattered by a frying pan!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Blow after blow. She lost her battle rhythm, determined to kill Fan Wubing at all costs.

Fan Wubing snorted coldly,

"At this moment, you're full of openings!"

With the augmentation of "Heart-Burning," Fan Wubing was abnormally calm and grew stronger with every fight, with all attributes continuously improving.

Meanwhile, Ye Wuyue was being constantly expended.

"Heart-Burning" layers kept stacking.

20 layers,

25 layers,

30 layers!

Finally, at the 40th layer, Fan Wubing sensed the optimal speed for a breakthrough.

40 layers, quadrupling combat attributes. Five times my strength can surely end this battle!

Then, the crucial question arose again.

Can five Third-Layer Golden Cores defeat a Sixth-Layer Golden Core?

To any serious cultivator, the answer would be no. Under normal circumstances, not even ten would be a match.

But, Fan Wubing was neither a serious cultivator, nor was this a normal situation.

The Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill accurately judged the combat energy flows!

If this move could end the battle, then it would end it!

He was like lightning in the rain, exuding a powerful presence, breaking through Ye Wuyue's already chaotic palm strikes, and raised the frying pan high in front of her...

But at the last moment, he withdrew the pan.

He directly used his hand, fiercely slapping Ye Wuyue across the face.

Slap!

The sound was crisp and bright, even the sound of falling rain couldn't drown it out.

With this slap, Ye Wuyue's rage vanished instantly, her eyes became a bit clearer.

She stared blankly at Fan Wubing,

"You hit me."

She seemed to have completely forgotten she was a Sixth-Layer Golden Core cultivator, but rather just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young girl.

Using a weapon to hit the face and using slap to hit the face, are two different concepts.

The latter, though less powerful, is extremely humiliating!

Fan Wubing said coldly,

"This slap is to wake you up."

He could have killed her but did not.

Because he knew very well, this battle had an audience. Defeating a princess of the Great Li Dynasty and killing a princess of the Great Li are completely different concepts.

Moreover, he knew that a noble princess like her had countless ways to preserve her life, perhaps even awakening some ancestor's consciousness.

He couldn't yet silently and thoroughly erase someone, so there was no need to take such a risk.

If it were someone from another regime, killing them would be no matter, as he had the Eternal Immortal Sect supporting him.

But the dynasty behind Ye Wuyue... the Eternal Immortal Sect couldn't compete with it.

He used the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to repair Ye Wuyue's distorted half-face and used the "Great Oblivion Heart-Burning Technique" to dispel her negative emotions and calm her down,

"If you have any spirit left, come fight me again in the future!"

After this series of actions, even with Ye Wuyue's noble pride, she couldn't react, and instead was stunned by Fan Wubing actively restoring her appearance.

"Wh-... why?"

Fan Wubing coldly said,

"I spared your life, hoping you would come to your senses."

After speaking, he swiftly left, heading towards the artificial lake in the east of the city.

The moment he left, the rain immediately stopped.

It was only then did Ye Wuyue react, instantly gritting her teeth,

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Pretending to be some gentleman! If he's a gentleman, why didn't he fight me head-on and used despicable ambushing tactics instead!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her,

"So, do you still want to trouble him?"

Ye Wuyue turned around, and after seeing who it was, was stunned,

"Qing... Qingyao?"

Luo Qingyao looked at her expressionlessly,

"Ye Shijiu. I didn't expect to see you here. Even more unexpected that you would set your sights on my senior brother."

"Senior brother?"

Luo Qingyao's voice was clear and cold, like a deer in the snow,

"Ye Shijiu. My senior brother kindly spared you, so you should return that favor. If you commit an ungrateful act... next time I will drag you to King Li to explain."

"Clearly he ambushed me!"

"Ambushed? It's good enough he didn't pulverize you." In Luo Qingyao's eyes, a faint trace of affection appeared, "Senior brother is a good senior brother, but not a good person. He even went out of his way to fix your face, you should thank him."

"Thank him?"

"Understand?" Luo Qingyao scolded loudly.

Ye Wuyue flinched in fright,

"Un-understood."

"Good that you understand."

Luo Qingyao snorted coldly and headed towards the east of the city.

Ye Wuyue stood dazed on the spot, at this moment she was a bit bewildered... she didn't understand why, despite being hit, she owed the other a favor, and had to thank him?

Something seemed off.

She touched the half of her face that had been hit.

A warm sensation flowed through... it seemed she could smell Fan Wubing's scent.

This scent made her angry, made her restless, made her feel unbearable shame.
