All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 218: Impossible to Explain

One person flew on a sword, the other on wings. One fled, one pursued. They flew for an unknown distance.

“You crazy woman, what do you want? Ungrateful!” Zhanyue angrily shouted. He had just saved her, yet she was trying to kill him.

“Give me back the Thousand Fate Feather!” Yunyao’s face remained cold, her sword occasionally releasing sword energy.

While dodging the sword energy, Zhanyue explained, “I really didn’t take that Thousand Fate Feather. I just touched it, and it fell off by itself, then disappeared.” Zhanyue was telling the truth. He had just curiously touched the red feather, not knowing this girl would molt. The feather fell off, he naturally picked it up, but then it mysteriously vanished.

Yunyao refused to believe his words. The Thousand Fate Feather was extremely important to her. Even if all the feathers on her wings fell off, it wouldn’t detach. And it was impossible for it to disappear without reason.

“Kill you, and the truth will be revealed!” Yunyao still showed no mercy.

“You crazy woman, are you sick? This is the Heavenly Book world. Even if you kill me, I’ll just reset the task. It’s meaningless. Besides, do you really want to kill me?” Zhanyue laughed angrily, wanting to slap himself for meddling with that feather.

Yunyao’s eyes turned cold as she stopped. She made a hand seal and chanted. Then she pointed, and a white light shot from her finger towards Zhanyue, or more precisely, towards the flying sword under his feet.

“Magic Sealing Divine Light!”

Hit by the Magic Sealing Divine Light, Zhanyue instantly felt his connection with the Heaven-Punishing Demon Sword disappear! His sword-flying technique instantly failed, and Zhanyue fell straight from the sky. They were thousands of meters high. While it wouldn’t kill him, he would certainly be severely injured. Even with state reversal, he’d still have to endure that pain. With no time to lament this woman’s viciousness, Zhanyue recalled the Heaven-Punishing Demon Sword to his divine ability space and adjusted his posture, preparing for a hard landing.

But Yunyao didn’t even give him the chance for a hard landing.

“Thousand Peak Sword Rise!” Yunyao used another ultimate move. From the ground, sword energy rose, converging into peaks. If he hit them, he’d be skinned alive if not killed. Seeing Yunyao about to catch up, Zhanyue couldn’t help but marvel at this woman’s strange techniques. If only he had a pair of wings like her.

As this thought arose, Zhanyue felt a tingling on his back, and a pair of fire-red wings suddenly grew out. These wings were different from Yunyao’s, being phantom wings, not real. But they could still give Zhanyue the ability to fly.

Barely controlling the wings to avoid the sword peaks, Zhanyue soon mastered their use. “Damn, how did I suddenly grow wings? It can’t be because of that feather, right? This is hopeless, now I really can’t explain.”

“You thief, still saying it wasn’t you! While I was unconscious, you used some method to steal my Thousand Fate Feather and have already refined it, yet you say it disappeared on its own. How shameless!” Yunyao was furious. She didn’t really want to kill Zhanyue, given his special identity, but wanted to force him to tell the truth. She didn’t expect Zhanyue had already refined the Thousand Fate Feather and was still trying to deceive her. How could she not be angry?

“Let me explain!” Zhanyue urged his wings to flee, wanting to explain something.

“The evidence is conclusive. What more do you want to explain?” Yunyao’s sword again sent out waves of sword energy. Fortunately, Zhanyue was agile enough to avoid them all.

Yunyao knew the speed of the phantom wings formed from the Thousand Fate Feather wasn’t inferior to her own wings. This pursuit was getting nowhere. She decided to use her real skills. Her eyes turned golden, and even her jet-black hair turned golden.

“Look at me…” Yunyao’s voice seemed to have a magical power. Zhanyue’s head involuntarily turned, his eyes meeting Yunyao’s.

“Eyes of Suppression!” Yunyao activated her eye technique.

Zhanyue felt Yunyao in his eyes become immensely huge, her body covering the entire sky. He was like an ant before her, while she was like a deity who could easily control his life and death. At the same time, the power in his body couldn’t flow smoothly, and his speed plummeted!

Zhanyue shook his head, his eyes also turning golden, using eye technique to counter eye technique. He activated the Lustful Eyes! Although he couldn’t possibly seduce someone like Yunyao with this technique, it did negate the suppression of her Eyes of Suppression, just like when facing the fear from that terrifying giant creature’s eyes earlier. The Lustful Eyes now served a defensive purpose, while its ability to stimulate desire in the target couldn’t be used effectively. Neither that giant creature nor Yunyao before him would easily fall for it, and even Feng Xueqing earlier had a way to stay clearheaded. This Lustful Eye technique, only cultivated to the first level, was indeed not impressive enough, but fortunately, this eye technique had seven levels in total!

“You!” Yunyao realized she had underestimated this bastard. He actually possessed a strange eye technique too. Eye techniques were actually quite rare, but Zhanyue’s eye technique quality was not inferior to her Imperial Eye. Yes, Yunyao’s eye technique was called ‘Imperial’, which she hadn’t fully mastered yet, only grasping its suppressive power, but it was enough for her to defeat many enemies.

“Enough! Can’t you listen to someone explain properly?” Zhanyue got angry. This woman kept using different techniques, seemingly really wanting to teach him a lesson.

“Hmph!” The response to Zhanyue was a cold snort. A giant sword came cleaving down, its power able to split mountains and seas.

Zhanyue instantly donned the Silver Moon Armor, then embedded the Great Sun Sea Burning Pearl into it. Flame-like patterns covered the armor. He swung his sky-piercing halberd, directly shattering the giant sword!

Yunyao’s eyes widened. Zhanyue’s strength had surged again.

“Very well, no wonder you have the guts to seize the Thousand Fate Feather!” Yunyao was truly angered now. She just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he kept resisting. Suddenly, her body burst forth with boundless golden light. Her snow-white wings turned golden, and a golden armor covered her entire body, leaving only her pretty face exposed. She looked like a golden saint warrior.

“Damn!” Zhanyue cursed. This woman’s trump cards seemed endless.

A red figure and a golden figure fought together, exchanging hundreds of moves in an instant. Zhanyue’s eyes turned cold. This Yunyao was too strange. Even wearing the Silver Moon Armor, he wasn’t her match! What was her background, and what opportunities had she encountered? He dared say that if he met that Long Fan Yu now, he could beat him to a pulp, yet he was no match for this Yunyao in her holy golden armor.

“Run, this woman is too strong.” Zhanyue continued to flee. If he couldn’t win even with the Silver Moon Armor, he was truly out of options. He finally understood why Feng Bulang surrendered without a fight; he must have known some inside information.

“Running again!” Yunyao saw Zhanyue flee and continued to chase.

They moved at extreme speed, soon entering a canyon, weaving between the cliff walls.

As they were chasing at top speed, a transparent large net suddenly appeared in front of them, previously invisible. They fell into the net one after another, sticking to it as neighbors. This huge spider web was hidden here, originally to catch some flying birds, but unexpectedly caught two humans.

At first, they weren’t concerned, but as they struggled with all their might and couldn’t break free from the web, they realized the problem was serious. This wasn’t an ordinary trap set by magical beasts. They were both using their full strength yet couldn’t move at all!
