Chapter 720: More challengers? People sure like to dig their own graves . . .
The next day . . .
He put on his black coat and he strapped Heaven Gazer to his back . With the Elucidator behind his waist, he came out of the house looking ready to kick some asses . The breeze that made his coat flap turned this scene into a rather fantastic one .
"Well, then . . . "
Wu Yan turned around to beam at Asuna and Yui .
"I will be back . . . "
Asuna couldn't hold herself back .
"Are you sure you don't need me to go with you?"
Wu Yan shook his head without hesitation .
"If you come with me, who's going to take care of Yui? . . . "
Asuna clenched her teeth . She felt frustrated as she couldn't put up a retort . Her eyes turned misty but she resisted strong enough that the tears didn't come rolling down on her cheeks .
She's worried, she's worried sick!
For Asuna, sitting at home while the love of her life joins a deadly battlefield, knowing she can do nothing but wait for him to come back safely is a sort of emotional torture .
Whenever she thinks about how Wu Yan might not return, there's a sickening feeling in her chest that made it hard to breathe, it's like her heart will stop functioning any moment . It felt very anguishing .
Even if it meant certain death, she wanted to go with Wu Yan . At worst, they will die together . The days she spent blissfully with Wu Yan are an irreplaceable part of her daily life, she just can't imagine going a single day without Wu Yan .
Without Yui, Asuna would have followed Wu Yan despite his protest . However, she needs to stay with their daughter!
Asuna couldn't abandon Yui to her own device . . .
But . . .
Asuna's shoulder heaved, she had her eyes tightly shut lest her tears fall down . In the end, it did little to stop her tear ducts from doing their jobs .
A warm hug suddenly enveloped Asuna when she was on the verge of sobbing . A soft voice entered her ears .
"Don't worry . . . "
Wu Yan caressed Asuna's hair . He chortled .
"We just got married . I still want to spend more of my life with you, we still have a long way ahead of us . Plus, we have a daughter now . No way am I going to die when I still have two precious people like you two waiting for me . . . "
"Then . . . "
Wu Yan placed his forehead against Asuna's forehead .
"Before I obtain your permission, I, do solemnly swear not to die!"
Asuna linked her arms around Wu Yan's neck . She started sobbing as she tightened her hold on him, fearing that the moment she lets go would be the moment Wu Yan disappears .
"You better keep that promise . . . "
Wu Yan nodded and he opened his eyes .
"Yeah, I promise . . . "
Asuna said nothing . She remained in grave silence inside Wu Yan's embrace . After a while, she wiped her tears away as she backed away from him . She looked into Wu Yan's eyes .
"I will be right here, waiting for you . . . "
Wu Yan spotted a firm and warm smile .
As for whether or not he will survive, it wasn't even a question inside his mind . Death is a concept that's alien to him!
For one, he wasn't wearing the Nervegear when he came into this game . Even if he did use it, the Nervegear couldn't do shit against a True Ancestor who can regenerate even when disintegrated by absolute power .
This is just a compulsory mission for Wu Yan . The worst scenario would be that he fails this quest, not death . He also had absolute confidence in winning against the floor boss of the 75th floor, it's raid group-wiping potential be damned!

"Yui . . . "
Wu Yan patted Yui's head as he got down to eye-level with her .
"You need to listen to mama, may? . . . "
"Nn!"
Yui vigorously nodded her head . She gave Wu Yan a big hug .
"Papa, come home soon, okay? . . . "
Wu Yan laughed as he gave her a gentleman's nod . He gave the two girls another look before he took out a blue crystal of teleportation from his inventory .
"Set waypoint to Granzam!"
The crystal shattered into a million pieces . Shrouded by the fragments of the crystal, Wu Yan disappeared in a pillar of blue light .
Asuna held Yui's hand as they continued watching the spot where Wu Yan disappeared in front of their eyes .
55th Floor of Aincrad, Granzam . . .
Wu Yan's image is already deeply carved into the hearts of the players in this game . Rather than awe, Wu Yan struck deeper fear into the players with his sheer power .
If Asuna is known for her stunning appearance and her wondrous skills then Wu Yan would be known for his ridiculous strength . It's not hard to imagine that Asuna had more fans than Wu Yan .
It's kinda like how a pop diva would always have more fans than a brawny man that is renowned inside the world of free wrestling . The market for the latter is more limited compared to the former .
Indeed, Wu Yan is in such a state of fame .
When he arrived at the plaza, scores of players immediately spotted him as they pointed fingers and chatted among themselves .
Their eyes were filled with awe, admiration, and fear . Nobody dared to step closer to take a gander at Wu Yan . He continued on his merry way to the guild of the Knights of the Blood Oath .

The players were throwing around words like "marriage", "The flash", "Asuna", and etc . . . Their topics were evidently focused on another matter altogether .
Soon, the distinctive palace that was the KoB's HQ appeared . It's a serious-looking castle with waving flags decorating the surrounding walls . Anyone within a hundred meters needed to check their attitude, except for Wu Yan, he casually walked into the joint .
"Halt!"
Two players in KoB armors stopped Wu Yan .
"This is the HQ of the KoB, non-members are not allowed entry!"
Wu Yan stopped to look at them . One of the guards yelped .
"Y-you're the Fae Swordsman, Wu Yan? . . . "
"Fae swordsman Wu Yan!"
The blocking guard experienced a drastic change to his face .
The two guards exchanged a look . They whipped their heads back at Wu Yan who is currently frowning .
They weren't spotting the looks of intimidated or awe-struck mortals, they were emanating animosity!
Wait, did I break a foot up their asses or something?
Wu Yan stated his purpose .
"Heathcliff invited me over!"
"The captain did?"
The guard scoffed at him .
"I'm sorry, we didn't get any orders from the captain . "

Wu Yan knitted his brows once more .
"Go report it to him then . . . "
"Report? . . . "
The guy laughed out loud, he sneered at him .
"Our captain is too busy taking care of the 75th floor's raid efforts, he has no time for reports from lowly members like us!"
Wu Yan's red eyes flashed with a cold glint .
"What are you getting at?"
"Nothing!"
The guy puffed up his chest and he declared .
"We didn't receive any orders from the captain . Hence, we can't let you pass . I suggest you go home!"
Wu Yan grinned, his grin almost reached his earlobes .
There are always people who want to dig their own graves . Now that this guy asked for his face to get stepped on, it wouldn't be polite to turn him down, right? . . .
