Chapter 201 - Challenges

Chapter 201 ChallengesZhang Yunyan had made up her mind. She no longer hesitated and told Shikong her own plan so that he was ready for what she was about to do.

Hearing that, Shikong was surprised. He did not want to put Zhang Yunyan at risk, but could not stop her. Seeing her determination, Shikong sighed.

He was worried about her going alone. In any case he could not let his benefactor to take risks. What was more, she was a woman.

Moreover, his cultivation and kung fu were far better than Yun Feiyan. He was able to defend the evil magic, so he should go there. If he was attacked by the evil stone and suffered misfortune, he was willing to bear it, and he must bear it himself.

But Zhang Yunyan firmly disagreed. As the target of the evil stone, if Shikong came, he would be courting death, and she would never put her benefactor at risk.

No longer arguing with him, she ignored Shikong. Holding the Magical Dragon Sword, she was moving to the evil stone step by step…

Yunyan looked at the terrifying evil stone vigilantly, ready to fight against it. It was her gut reaction, although it was useless.

Shikong shook his head and sighed silently. He looked at the evil stone and was more alert, in case of a sudden attack that would cause trouble to his benefactor and herself.

With the passing of time, Zhang Yunyan was closer to the bulging rock. The evil stone stood still, and no one knew if it sensed that someone was approaching.

The pace of time was silent. It was very quiet in the cave, and there was no sound at all, except a slowly moving figure. It seemed that everything had stopped.

As Zhang Yunyan gradually approached the bulging rock, the evil stone was still motionless as if it had lost its life.

She had learned from the lesson that she should not get confused by the illusion. Moving her legs nervously, she kept staring at the evil stone vigilantly. Her hand that was holding the Magical Dragon Sword was also shaking.

Guided by the footsteps of time, Zhang Yunyan finally came to the bulging rock, but the evil stone standing on it still did not make any response.

This piece of jade was calm to ignore the one it hated in front of it. No one knew if it had lost its soul or was asleep. It seemed to have no consciousness.

Zhang Yunyan dared not distract herself, and she also did not believe that the evil stone was unconscious. She knew that it was watching her, and was secretly planning to look for the right time to launch an attack.

She did not worry about her own safety, but Shikong’s safety. She hoped that she was the target of the stone and it wouldn’t attack her benefactor.

Yunyan looked around nervously, and she saw that on the green evil stone, countless colorful “stars” were flashing constantly just as before.

It was stalemate. Zhang Yunyan did not want such a result, and her mood was getting more anxious.

Soon she was so impatient that she couldn’t wait anymore, and she could not stand being tortured indefinitely. Something had to be done to break the ice and achieve a good result.

When she was looking, Yunyan clenched her teeth and touched the evil stone with the Magical Dragon Sword carefully, hoping to provoke the stone and find out the answer.

However, the evil stone remained silent and did not respond.

She was surprised and confused, and did not want to stop. She calmed herself down and touched the stone with more strength, which made a slight sound.

But the stone was still motionless as before.

Why did this stone feel nothing at all? Had it really become a lifeless ordinary jade?

Zhang Yunyan did not believe it, nor would she be deceived by the illusion of the stone, and she did not relax vigilance.

Clenching her teeth secretly, she was determined to launch her attack so that the evil stone would show who it really was, and put an end to the unbearable stalemate.

In the cave, it was dark and quiet, which was frightening. These two alien lives were also suffering…

Sooner or later she would die, so Zhang Yunyan was desperate. In order to break the stalemate, Zhang Yunyan was afraid of nothing and began to attack the evil stone with the back of a knife blade violently.

“Bang!” With a loud and clear sound of crashing, sparkling fires flew everywhere and faded away.

The evil stone did not respond and it stood still as if it had grown on the bulging rock.

It was so strange. This stone was so fierce and terrifying. How could it ignore such serious provocation? How could it stand still when it had been struck so violently?

In front of the offender, a monster would not be so gentle. Instead, it would fight back and kill its opponent.

It was acting weird. How did it happen? What happened?

At this moment, Shikong was looking at Yun Feiyan nervously. Seeing her provocative attitude towards the evil stone, he was very anxious, fearing that such extreme action would provoke the monster, and then bring more terrible disasters.

What he worried most was not himself, but Yun Feiyan. If his benefactor made enemies with the evil stone, she would be attacked ruthlessly like him.

Shikong knew that the benefactor had not practiced her internal strength, and could not stand the blow of magic. Her result would be even worse than him. Nervous and frightened, he whispered to her to stop.

Ignoring her benefactor’s dissuasion, Zhang Yunyan was still glaring at the evil stone. She was upset and angry, ready to fight against the hateful stone till the death.

Yunyan had already put life and death out of her concern like an angry tiger and a strong goddess.

With nothing to lose, she was determined to fight back. Even though she would die on the battlefield, she would face the consequence bravely like a strong heroine…

At this moment, in Zhang Yunyan’s heart, there were no unfinished vows, no missions to shoulder, and no lofty aspirations. All she wanted was to end the confrontation quickly.

Frowning, she looked at the jade which remained motionless with countless “colorful stars” flickering. The surface had no change, and no sign of irritation.

Zhang Yunyan was a little confused. As the jade had been hit so hard by the one that it wanted to destroy, why didn’t it respond? Was the monster asleep or had it isolated itself so it knew nothing about the outside world?

Anyway, it couldn’t be delayed any longer. The stone seemed to have lost his soul, and it was a good chance to destroy it.

In despair, Zhang Yunyan had confidence, and she would rather die to miss a rare opportunity. Glaring at the monster, she wished to cut it into halves so that it could no longer harm others. Even if they would die together, she could help Shikong to survive.

She had made up her mind to fight against the jade to the death. As for the consequence, she did not even think about it. This should be done quickly.

Ignoring Shikong’s dissuasion, Zhang Yunyan stared at the hateful monster and shouted, “Go to hell!”

She swung the Magical Dragon Sword and dealt a blow to the monster with great force…

Shikong was extremely nervous, and he hurried to stop her rash behavior. When he saw his benefactor start her attack, he was so scared that he shouted to her to stop it, but it was too late. The Magical Dragon Sword had already slashed the jade.

“Bang!” With a loud sound, sparks were splashing, which was deafening.

The startling noise died away, and the cave turned silent again, which was shocking.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were so surprised that they froze, looking at the monster without movement.

The evil stone was attacked so fiercely but it was still not provoked and had no response. It endured the provocation of the intruder.

What was more surprising was that despite her slashes, the evil stone was motionless except some sparks. It seemed to have united with the rock.

Both of them were very surprised, wondering why this stone would allow Zhang Yunyan to attack it and ignore her. They also didn’t know why it could stand still and was so unmovable.

When they were in suspicion, Zhang Yunyan and Shikong flinched and were shocked.

The jade was intact and the part it had been slashed was undamaged and left no trace at all. This stone was harder than the steel, and had a remarkable ability, which made people shocked.

Yunyan thought of something, and she went to check the Magical Dragon Sword. When she found that the sword was still sharp and undamaged, she just breathed a sigh of relief.

In the Cave of Fate, it was deathly silent with even more terrifying atmosphere, which was suffocating and frightening.

Outside the cave, they could hear a voice which was happy, “Yun Feiyan, Shikong, you are still alive. That’s great! Well, are you hurt? Who were you fighting against? You must be careful!”

It turned out that Turtle Elf did not leave. Instead, it sat on the ground sadly outside the cave, immersed in pain. Then there was a loud sound from the cave, which came from Yun Feiyan. It sprang to its feet and went directly to the entrance of the cave. It was now asking them in surprise.

After it calmed itself down from the excitement, Turtle Elf felt worried about the safety of Zhang Yunyan and Shikong. It didn’t know what kind of opponent they had met and why the confrontation took so long.

It seemed that their opponent was violent, and the lives of his two best friends were at stake. They would die at any moment.

Turtle Elf was very anxious, but it had no ability to help them, and it dared to distract its two friends, so it stopped asking. It could only focus itself on the changes in the cave, listening to every sound it could hear.

Unable to help its two human friends, it could only pray for Yun Feiyan and Shikong, hoping that they could defeat the enemy, escape from the disasters and be safe and sound.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were nervous and vigilant. With no time to answer Turtle Elf, they were busy staring at the terrifying evil tone in case of its sudden attack.

In the atmosphere of tension, time was passing quietly, regardless of what happened to the world.

In the Cave of Fate, both sides were close to each other at arm’s length. Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were very nervous.

The evil stone did not cast any magic, but kept waiting quietly. It was a monster with a soul, so it must have felt the strong blow. The reason why there was no response perhaps was that it was waiting for the time. During the waiting, it was preparing to save its energy secretly.

The power of its evil magic was frightening. Once it performed the magic, it would soon destroy two young lives in an instant. Everything including the Cave of Fate might perish with it.

Zhang Yunyan and Shikong were very nervous. In the “quiet” torture, it turned out that what they waited for was not hope, but disaster and destruction…
