Chapter 1178 Reckless

A frightening aura immediately spread across the battlefield as the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples jumped out of the wall. Countless tyrannical sword intents poured down from above, bombarding the frenzied profound beasts below.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The profound beasts on the frontline were torn apart directly under the bombards, and the disciples were not done at that. As soon as they landed on the ground, they shot forward like a loose arrow, turning into shadows, and began slaughtering the enemies.

With every thrust and slash, the lifeless remains of the profound beast would appear on the ground. It could be seen how powerful their attack was.

"Kill!" Suddenly, a bulky man in coarse leather attire jumped into the air from the backline of the profound beast. This person was a peak of the Saint Profound Beast that had taken a human form.

"Leave it to me!" When this person appeared, Yun Chenyu, who was among the group of the Misty Cloud Sect's disciples, shot into the air, rushing toward the bulky man fearlessly.

A dagger in her hand abruptly shone in a terrifying light as she slashed vertically toward the enemy.

"Hmph!" The bulky man snorted coldly. He could see that Yun Chenyu was only at the first level of the Heaven Profound Realm. How could she dare to fight him?

Suddenly, his right arm transformed into a huge octopus tentacle as he swung it forward. The tentacle immediately repelled Yun Chenyu's attack and went around her, wrapping her waist tightly before pulling her toward him.

Yun Chenyu's expression changed drastically. She struggled to get rid of the tentacle, but it was futile.

"Hehehe! Your flesh must be very delicious." The bulky man's mouth suddenly enlarged, transforming into a horrifying beast's mouth. Once Yun Chenyu went in, she would undoubtedly die.

On the wall, Yun Ruanyu looked at the scene with a frown between her brows. She brought Yun Chenyu here to gain experience, but the latter seemed too impatient. Obviously, she had overestimated herself, which should never happen.

On the side, Fu Tiangang's face was full of worries. He naturally knew Yun Chenyu's status. That was Yun Lintian's first disciple. If something happened to her, he didn't have the face to see Yun Lintian.

"Elder Yun…" Fu Tiangang turned to Yun Ruanyu.

"Wait for a moment." Yun Ruanyu didn't intend to help Yun Chenyu directly. She was going to see how Yun Chenyu solved this predicament.

As Yun Chenyu drew closer to the horrifying mouth, she managed to calm down, and a thunder bead silently appeared in her hand. She flickered her finger slightly, sending the thunder bead into the mouth.

RUMBLE—

The thunder bead exploded, releasing a terrifying thunder blast to sweep away everything in that area. The powerful impact immediately sent Yun Chenyu flying, as well as the other disciples nearby.

Seeing this scene, Yun Ruanyu shook her head in disappointment. Her figure disappeared from the place and reappeared behind Yun Chenyu.

She raised her hand gently, and the shocking impact instantly vanished.

As she grabbed Yun Chenyu, she looked at the latter and said. "You are too impatient."

Yun Chenyu lowered her head slightly upon hearing this.

"Look around you." Yun Ruanyu said calmly.

Yun Chenyu subconsciously glanced at the battlefield and saw her comrades get up from the ground after being swept by the sudden impact earlier. Obviously, she had unintentionally harmed them.

Yun Ruanyu knew that Yun Chenyu must know her wrong already, but she didn't let it go easily. "What did your master tell you before? He told you to be cautious and never overestimate yourself, right?"

"I…" Yun Chenyu wanted to say something, but no word came out in the end. Her heart was filled with guilt and shame.

After returning from the conference, she had always been restless, wanting to avenge her family as soon as possible. And because of that, she was eager to increase her strength and fighting experience. This led her to this point.

"No need to say anything further. You should go back and wait for your master." Yun Ruanyu said plainly.

Yun Chenyu's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. She hurriedly pleaded. "No, Aunty Ruanyu. I want to stay here. I promise that there won't be a second time."

Unfortunately, Yun Ruanyu shook her head and said mercilessly. "Your existence endangers everyone here. I don't want to see anyone die because of your reckless action."

Yun Chenyu opened her mouth and said nothing in the end. Her eyes were full of regret and shame. No matter how unwilling she was, what Yun Ruanyu said was correct.

Yun Ruanyu said nothing further and brought Yun Chenyu back to the wall.

Before she could let someone send Yun Chenyu away, she suddenly noticed something and looked toward the sky.

At this moment, the Heavenly Cloud Profound Skyship emerged from the group of clouds and slowly descended toward the city.

Yun Ruanyu's eyes flickered slightly. She glanced at Yun Chenyu and sighed inwardly. Without a doubt, Yun Lintian must have arrived here a while now, which meant he saw everything.

Yun Chenyu's face turned pale when she saw the skyship. Her head drooped down as she clutched the hem of her robe nervously. She knew that Yun Lintian must definitely punish her.

At this moment, Yun Lintian and the others jumped down from the skyship and landed on the wall.

"I'm back. You've worked hard." Yun Lintian said with a smile.

Yun Ruanyu responded gently. "Welcome back."

Yun Lintian turned to Yun Chenyu and said. "Raise your head and look at me."

Yun Chenyu shuddered and slowly raised her head to look at Yun Lintian. "Master…"

Yun Lintian said. "It's good that you are eager to raise your strength and also courageous enough to fight a stronger opponent… However, as I have told you before, it's not just about knowing the opponent's strength when you want to fight someone. You have to know what you have, too."

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with believing that a single thunder bead can save your life. But take a look at it. Is it something a thunder bead can kill?" Yun Lintian paused briefly and pointed at the giant octopus in the distance.

Yun Chenyu glanced at the injured octopus and found it was recovering at a visible rate. The injury from the thunder bead obviously couldn't finish it.

"Now, you don't have a thunder bead anymore. If this is a life-and-death situation. How are you going to fight it afterward?" Yun Lintian asked.
