Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 437 - 437 423 Running Out of Talent

Chapter 437: Chapter 423: Running Out of Talent Chapter 437: Chapter 423: Running Out of Talent “Indeed,” the Red Demonic Spirit said, “only someone like your father could accomplish such great works; who else would burn Wasteland City to the ground just to intimidate the Sky Domain Sect; who else would massacre everyone in Wasteland City, all for the sake of a purpose, of a strategic goal.”

“Yeah, I couldn’t do that.” Ye Chen said.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t achieve anything.”

“Don’t try to comfort me, my weaknesses are evident.”

“Knowing your weaknesses is good, some people are too afraid to admit them.”

“So, I’ve recognized it, but it doesn’t help. I wish I had been the one to do it, to take her life. It wouldn’t have mattered to me.”

“Haha, you’re really quite adorable.”

“No, I’m serious. If that were the case, I wouldn’t be so burdened now. I have no idea how many people have paid the price for my mistake. Even death can’t make up for it.”

“We’re getting nowhere with this conversation.”

“Alright, let’s drop it. Tell me if you have any good ideas.”

“You’re not suggesting I steal it, are you?” the Red Demonic Spirit asked.

“Is it possible?” Ye Chen asked.

“Do you really think I could even last a few moves against your father? Do you really think I’m like your mother, able to be by his pillow side, capable of stealing the Jade Ring in the same way?” The Red Demonic Spirit gave a cold laugh.

Ye Chen shook his head, saying: “How would I know?”

“Your father isn’t you. Why would he let you think about taking the Dragon Slayer Sword now?”

“True, he wouldn’t just hand over the Dragon Slayer Sword under pressure. Only a fool like me would.”

“As long as you know.”

Yun Yun looked around but couldn’t find Ye Chen. As a result, he bumped into Li Mo.

“Do you know where Ye Chen is?” Yun Yun asked.

“Probably in the woods. You should let him be alone.” Li Mo pointed towards the forest ahead, seeing indeed a figure on the hillside.

Li Mo added, “Don’t worry so much. Ye Chen just needs some time to recover. He’ll be fine, we’ll surely find a way. Don’t panic.”

Yu Yun waved his hand, and Li Mo retreated.

…

“Why are you considering things that are no longer relevant?” the Red Demonic Spirit asked.

“Right, I can’t think of a solution right now.” Ye Chen replied.

“Do you really think you’re a god? Do you think just by using your brain, you can solve everything? Give your brain a rest, or sooner or later, you’ll go mad!”

Ye Chen gave a small smile.

“You’ve never been hit hard, have you? You might need it, to realize not everything can be resolved by yourself.”

Ye Chen said, “If it were anything else, I wouldn’t be bothered. Even if I lose a beloved girl, I’d let go of her. But people will die over this.”

“Of course I know people will die. But that’s pointless if you break your brain thinking. You need to be grounded, take it one step at a time. Maybe, once we’re in Demon Palace City, we might actually find a solution.”

“Haha, doesn’t seem like they have a better plan either, from what I’ve heard.”

“You haven’t even tried yet. How can you know there isn’t a solution!” the Red Demonic Spirit continued, “Avoiding problems doesn’t solve them. You need to tackle them head-on.”

“Easier said than done.”

The Red Demonic Spirit gave a cold laugh, saying, “This is your weakness, and it’s the same for many. You carry too much of a burden. The weight you bear may leave you feeling lost, making you fearful. You shouldn’t be pondering the outcomes.”

“The outcome isn’t what I should be considering?”

“Of course. Who can guarantee they will always come out on top?”

“No one.”

“Three parts are due to personal efforts, seven parts are decided by fate. All you have to do is to do your part, the rest is up to fate.”

“The cost though.”

“Haha, I thought you already understood this.”

“Yes, in the past, I might have spoken nonchalantly. But now, the lives of so many people lie in our hands. The pressure is overwhelming.”

“That isn’t something your worries can solve.”

“You should focus on the preparations for war. That’s what you should be considering right now.”

“Thank you for the advice, I’ll keep it in mind.” Ye Chen said.

“Why are you being so formal with me? We’re practically an old married couple.” The Red Demonic Spirit said.

“You and Feng Niang are the old married couple, not you and I.”

“Aren’t you considering becoming a monk anyway!”

“Who said I was going to become a monk.”

“But I might consider it.”

“You becoming a monk, don’t kid yourself. I’d believe anyone else, but definitely not you.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Don’t worry, once we get through this, I’ll find you a woman more enchanting than Feng Niang.”

With a smack on his head, the spirit exclaimed: “Who do you think I am? Some sort of playboy like you?”

“That’s hard to say. Right now, you can say whatever you like. But it’s all about whether you can withstand the test. I don’t believe Feng Niang is the only beauty in the world.” Ye Chen said.

“Roll off, don’t impose your standards on me.”

“I’m increasingly losing faith in enduring love.”

“But you still can’t forget Ling’er,” the Red Demonic Spirit said.

“Hey, let’s not critique each other’s affections. Everyone is a fool when it comes to their feelings.”

“As long as you understand.”

When Ye Chen returned, he saw a girl sitting on a rock. Recognizing her as Yu Yun, he quickly understood and called out, “Why are you still awake?”

Yu Yun lifted her head and saw Ye Chen approaching.

Ye Chen added, “There are too many mosquitoes here. Go to sleep and don’t worry about me.”

Yu Yun stood up, her bright eyes looking at him skeptically.

“Really, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

“It’s all my fault.”

“Heh, the past is the past. Let’s not bring it up tomorrow morning, alright? Otherwise, I’ll get upset,” Ye Chen said urgently, guessing that she was blaming herself.

“Ah, I didn’t know things would get this serious.”

“It’s okay, there’s a way.”

“I know you’re just trying to comfort me.”

“Rest assured, don’t you trust my intelligence? Let me have a good night’s rest, and I’m sure I’ll think of a solution by morning. So don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen,” he had to sound optimistic; he couldn’t appear cowardly in front of a girl.

Of course, Yu Yun knew he was just trying to distract her.

“Trust me, I’ll find a way,” Ye Chen continued, “Let’s go rest. We must set off early tomorrow. If the Dragon Slaying Clan reaches Demon Palace City before us, then we’ll be at risk.”

When she heard this, Yu Yun nodded her head.

“Alright, try not to think about anything else. Remember, I’m here, and that’s all that matters,” said Ye Chen.

The Red Demonic Spirit, who had been listening, chimed in, “This guy sure knows how to comfort a girl. If I were one, I’d have fallen for him already.”

“Good thing you’re not,” Ye Chen replied to the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Don’t overthink. Everything will get better tomorrow,” he consoled.

Yu Yun was indeed tired, but the pressure was keeping her awake.

The two of them continued to walk forward.

“I don’t find it amusing here at all, especially with all the mosquitoes at night.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yun gave a faint smile.

“You too wish for all this to end quickly. I certainly wish for that too. I am honestly a bit exhausted,” said Ye Chen, sighing loudly.

“Of course, I want this to end soon.”

“Yes, I’ve had enough,” Ye Chen continued, “I prefer peaceful, simple things.”

“Who would enjoy being worried and scared?”

“Exactly, who would enjoy that?” asked Ye Chen, “Did your father scold you?”

“He didn’t. I wish he would scold me. I might feel better then.”

“Right, your father is a reasonable man. If he scolded you, I would have definitely overestimated him.”

Yu Yun smiled faintly.

Ye Chen said, “You escaped death today. Don’t dwell on anything and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Okay, I understand,” she replied.

“Early to bed,” Ye Chen said.

The night passed quietly, with no trace of a disturbance. Early the next morning they set off, fearing that the Dragon Slaying Clan might come at any moment. Any delay could lead to a forced battle halfway to Demon Palace City, which would put them at a severe disadvantage.

They were already at a significant disadvantage. If they were forced to fight midway, no one could counter the Dragon Slayer Sword, and the threat would be even greater.

Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu had already stationed people to monitor the Dragon Slaying Clan and track their movements to avoid any sudden attacks.

Ye Chen and Yu Yun sat in the same horse car.

This horse car was prepared by the disciples of Demon Palace City.

Ye Chen didn’t speak, but he was always alert to the news of the Dragon Slaying Clan.

Jiang Zhuge informed Ye Chen, “They won’t come so soon.”

Li Mo speculated, “They probably haven’t recovered yet. Even though their Dragon Slayer Sword has regained its power, they were defeated and both Zen Master and Shen Tian died, while Yuan Menhai and Ming Bei flee.”

Jiang Zhuge said, “What I worry about is that they might recruit people from the demon and evil realms again.”

Li Mo glanced at Jiang Zhuge and said, “You think? Considering the brutal defeats we’ve handed them, they won’t dare.”

“The situation is different now. The Dragon Slaying Clan is short of hands. They’ll recruit anyone willing. Mutant Winged Dragon will offer them attractive terms. They’ve decided to wage war in Demon Palace City and will recruit as many as possible. Why not?”

Li Mo nodded his head and said, “But the demon and evil realms have just been expelled by us, losing many members.”

“It’s different now. Mutant Winged Dragon has the Dragon Slayer Sword and has the upper hand. They can lure those on the sidelines to their side,” Jiang Zhuge explained.

Li Mo looked at Ye Chen who was sitting at the driver’s seat and asked him, “Ye Chen, do you think they will ”

Ye Chen shook his head and replied, “I am not sure. My primary concern now is how to deal with the Dragon Slayer Sword.”
