Realms In The Firmament

Han Bingxue was too emotional at the moment. He could barely cheat a three-year-old kid. That meant he was not plotting anything… or pretending anything…

Otherwise, she wouldn’t spare him after saying those words!

Xuan Bing looked at Han Bingxue and thought for a while. She blandly said, ”How’s the view on the snow mountain?”

Han Bingxue lowered his head weakly and said, ”Probably good. I didn’t really pay attention.”

”Was it cold?”

”Cold? How can I feel cold? I am indeed weaker than you, but I am still a superior cultivator myself…”

”Hmm. You must have killed a lot of people after you got down from the snow mountain, haven’t you? Why?”

”Humph!”

”You were trying to avenge Xiao Monarch, weren’t you?” Xuan Bing seemed to be hiding something behind her eyes.

”Sure.” Han Bingxue humphed, ”Everybody knows I was.”

”Does it mean you are the Shadowless Assassin that has been recently hunting the three factions’ disciples?” Xuan Bing said.

”What?”

Han Bingxue was shocked. He suddenly understood what Xuan Bing was doing.

Shadowless Assassin slaughtered people of the three factions to avenge Xiao Monarch. It was true, but it was a secret of him. Somebody suspected Han Bingxue was Shadowless Assassin, but nobody could make sure of it.

He was so emotional that he recklessly told Xuan Bing the truth.

However, since he was exposed, he wouldn’t deny it anymore. After all, after all the days he spent with Xuan Bing, he could feel that Xuan Bing was not an enemy. He proudly said, ”I am Shadowless Assassin, so what? Humph. In the world, only I can do that for him. I have killed a bunch of men to take revenge for Brother Ye, so what?”

Xuan Bing praised, ”Not bad. You are a good brother to Ye Xiao.”

Han Bingxue angrily said, ”Back to the days, Brother Ye was hunted and slaughtered by the three factions. Nobody in the entire Qing-Yun Realm ever gave him a hand. I will never let the three factions go!”

”It is true. Xiao Monarch’s death was… a tragedy.” Xuan Bing sighed and said, ”Xiao Monarch was a heroic figure. Yet he died in such misery. How mournful!”

Han Bingxue deeply breathed and said, ”My Brother Ye was more than just a heroic man. He spent his life doing the right thing, living in justice, fighting with love and hatred! He was a great hero!”

Xuan Bing didn’t deny it. She just went along Han Bingxue’s words, ”That’s true! Xiao Monarch was always righteous. He never did anything rascal. What a man. It’s a pity he is dead…”

”Who says he is dead! Nonsense… Urh!” Han Bingxue suddenly shut up and stared at Xuan Bing with his eyes widely opened, big as two brass bells.

Xuan Bing was still sitting there, not even moving a bit. Her eyes looked through the black silk on her face and stared at Han Bingxue with a hint of joy.

Coldness abruptly exploded out of Han Bingxue as he put one hand on his sword handle. He coldly said, ”Elder Xuan, I never know you are not only brilliant in cultivation but also incredible in baiting.”

Xuan Bing blandly said, ”Hmm. Just so-so! What now? Do you admit it?”

Han Bingxue coldly said, ”Admit? What do I admit? I just wanted to say Xiao Monarch was not only a hero but also a dominator of the world! Do you believe it, great elder?”

Xuan Bing just smiled and didn’t respond.

She actually just kept silent.

However, as Xuan Bing remained silence, Han Bingxue felt more unconfident. He angrily said, ”Why don’t you say something? Don’t you want to make me say something?”

Xuan Bing shook her head and stayed silent.

Han Bingxue felt that he was making a huge mistake. He raged up and shouted, ”Xuan Bing! I am going to kill you!”

- Clang! - His longsword went out of the scabbard. Suddenly, the clouds were rolling in the strong wind! His killing intent was rolling up in the sky!

Han Bingxue’s murderous aura rose up to the peak!

It didn’t matter whether Xuan Bing was the great elder of Misty Cloud Palace or not, whether she was the second most powerful cultivator in the realm or not, whether he could defeat her or not, he only thought about killing her! He would die with her if he needed to. He had to keep the secret for Ye Xiao!

The cold sword light suddenly shined up the sky like moonlights and then fiercely struck down on Xuan Bing.

That was a one-way attack that he would only make to do an instant kill!

He was a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator, but he was still one step away from the top range in Qing-Yun Realm. That one step meant a difference between heaven and hell. However, if simply speaking of the aura of him when he made this attack, with which he was willing to sacrifice himself, nobody in the realm was better than him or dared to fight against him!

”You must die!” Han Bingxue shouted. He merged with his sword and made the cold moonlight of the sword into a long splendidly glowing dragon, shooting toward Xuan Bing.

Xuan Bing was surprised when she saw it.

She never expected Han Bingxue would have such a drastic reaction. They had traveled together for a long time after all, yet he decided to ignore it when she was going to reveal the secret he kept. Most importantly, she knew Han Bingxue was going crazy.

He was exactly going crazy, not almost, not likely!

”You want to kill me? Are you capable enough?” Xuan Bing sneered and then flew up like a blast of a dark cloud. Her body turned into a mass of dark fog, rolling away in the dense sword lights. However, none of the fierce sword lights that Han Bingxue made to cover the sky ever touched her body.

Han Bingxue’s sudden attack could suppress most of the superior cultivators in the realm, but Xuan Bing was not included!

No matter how fierce his attack was, no matter how he was willing to give up his life, he could do no harm to her!

Han Bingxue realized that his forcible attack didn’t work, so he gritted his teeth and abruptly operated all of his spiritual power. He shouted, ”All In Destruction!”

Xuan Bing was terrified, so she hurriedly shouted, ”Wait!”

All In Destruction was Han Bingxue’s unique skill. Once he ran it, he would become ten times stronger immediately, but it would burn his life. It merged his soul, life energy, physical body, and spiritual mind into one whole, as the energy that the final attack would consume.

In other words, it was a move that would damage himself first before it injured the enemy. No matter whether it could kill the enemy or not, he was sure to be damaged!

In the Qing-Yun Realm, there were lots of people who were stronger than Han Bingxue. However, there were not many people who could defend the ten times power aggregation of Han Bingxue!

Unfortunately, Xuan Bing was exactly one of the ’not many people’. Even though Han Bingxue had made his All In Destruction, Xuan Bing was sure she could safely escape from the attack because of the absolute disparity between their powers. In fact, she could directly kill Han Bingxue by attacking back on him.

The problem was that even though Han Bingxue was hostile to Xuan Bing, Xuan Bing didn’t mean to hurt him at all. It was more annoying that once Han Bingxue made that last strike, no matter what he could get in return, he was definitely going to die!
