Realms In The Firmament

The black shadow on the left stared at the empty hooks. He was stunned.

Eighteen pairs of fruits were gone. All were taken by one person…

That was unbelievable.

”Holy shxt! I should be right about it! What just happened? I was so cautious! How is it possible? How did he keep taking away the fruits? All the fruits were taken away without any traces left! It just doesn’t make sense!”

He was rubbing his head. Lots of dark fog was bursting out of his eye frames.

Apparently, he was a bit freaking out…

How could he not be anxious!

In the first two days, the two of them had lost eleven pairs of the fruits in total. However, within a half day, he had lost eighteen pairs all by himself!

Things ended up so bad only because he wanted to prove his theory was right.

The two of them had ninety-nine pairs of the fruits at the beginning. They shared the fruits in equal amounts to use them as fishing baits. Four pairs were taken away during the first ten thousand years. They should have ninety-five pairs left. That was quite a high profit considering how small the cost was.

In the eleven pairs of fruits they lost together, this guy had lost six. It was an unexpected expense, but it was an acceptable loss after all.

However, he just had lost eighteen pairs within half a day. That meant he had lost twenty-four in total. Yet he only had forty-nine as a start. He had lost half of his fruits already!

That was terrible!

What a miserable day!

The guy on the left stared at his pole and took the hooks back. ”Well… Do you want to take it? You have a try, and maybe that person will reveal himself…”

”Forget it… You have lost a great deal just now. Do not drag me down to it. Do I look like a fool to you? I am not doing it again.” The one on the right was gloating, cracked a burst of laughter, ”Didn’t you tease that person just now? Didn’t you say you want to play the game against him? What did you do? Come on, go on! Maybe you will reveal his identity by another strike…”

The guy on the left humphed. The dark fog suddenly spread out and rolled away. - Puff! - He disappeared.

He actually left the other guy because he was angry.

[I am done!]

”Well, I have to go too. Whoever it is on the other side, he must be incredibly powerful. He can easily play us both around with his fingers. It must be some mighty figure descending to that little realm from somewhere else. I was right about it. I guess we can’t continue fishing in this place in the short coming future…” The guy on the right sighed and murmured to himself. However, he looked at the space fissure in the void again. He honestly didn’t want to just leave this place. In the end, he couldn’t help throwing the baits out again…

[Let me have a last try. Maybe that person has gone away after taking away over twenty pairs of our fruits…]

[Last strike!]

[This has to be the last strike!]

[Definitely…]

[I swear…]

After a long time…

This guy turned in a moving mass of dark fog and took leave, with sorrow in his face.

During the time of the ’last strike’, he had gained over a hundred black balls but had lost thirteen pairs of fruits at the same time.

That felt like a billion times loss to him!

[Why was I so sure that the person would leave after taking the fruits! I thought it was my last strike… but I kept having the same thought again and again… I couldn’t help… Now I know how it feels to fool myself around…] He slowly disappeared as he was complaining about himself.

…

On the other side. Qing-Yun Realm.

People in Heaven’s Terrace had all gone crazy!

They were all lost in madness…

In the first two days, only eleven pairs of fruits were taken. However, it was already an incredible number considering how hard it was to get the fruits!

However, comparing to the number of how many fruits were taken, eleven was just a little, because thirty-one pairs of the fruits were gone!

That was almost three times as many as the total amount for the first two days!

What did that mean?

That meant… not long after this, forty-two cultivators of invincibility would show up in Qing-Yun Realm!

Forty-two Wu Fa or Xuan Bing, or at least Xue Danru!

What kind of a force was that?

That was insane!

”Who is it? WHO IS IT? How could you be so shameless! That can’t be more disgraceful!”

Somebody shouted angrily.

Everybody’s eyes were red.

Whoever took the fruits had a horrible potential to build a dominant force. Only one invincible cultivator of the forty-two was enough to kill these people at once. However, they were so angry that none of them still cared about it anymore!

Among the crowd, Han Bingxue was acting the most drastically, ”Nobody fxcking moves! Do not leave! Who dares to leave now, I will kill him instantly!”

These people usually hated Han Bingxue’s behavior, but what he just said gained their supports.

”Master Han is right! Nobody leaves!”

”That’s right! Who dares to leave now, we will kill him!”

”To hold the fruits in hand doesn’t mean anything. Before you eat the fruits, you are not invincible!”

”That’s right…”

”But… What next?”

”You!” Han Bingxue flew out and grabbed a man in white clothes on his neck. The man in white clothes appeared to wear the clothes of Saint Sunlight Sect. Han Bingxue didn’t say a word before he smacked on that man’s head. The brain exploded and burst out of the skull. ”Didn’t you hear me? Well. If you dared to run, you must dare to accept your death!”

Then he took over the man’s space ring and poured out everything inside the ring. Things piled up on the floor.

Not everybody could have a private space ring. In another word, the disciple of a great sect who had a space ring must be someone important. That man’s belongings should be valuable!

However, no matter how precious that man’s belongings were, the people in this place wouldn’t want any of them!

”Hmm? Why did you run like that? You don’t have the fruits! I heard that the great sects forbid their disciples to come to this place. He obviously violated his sect’s rule. What a disobedient bastard! Take it as a favor I did for your sect. These objects in his ring are naturally too cheap for me. Well, I will still take them as a payoff to my work.” Han Bingxue looked solemn. He actually occupied all that came from that man’s ring without feeling ashamed.

Well, it was not the fruits he was laying his hand to after all, so the others all just let him do it.

[You are a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator after all! You are the most powerful man among us all!]

”You! Don’t you move… I shall kill you!”

- Bang! - Another one.

”You… Come here!” He flew out again.

All the men he was targeting were from the three factions.

Hmm. They were precisely all from Saint Sunlight Sect and Saint Starlight Sect. One after another, Han Bingxue killed with one single strike.

He killed those men for several simple reasons. First, they moved; Second, they violate their sects’ rules, so he killed them as a favor to the three factions. He would take over all the valuable stuff from those men he killed. He told everybody that the valuable objects were only the payoffs he deserved, and he didn’t really like them…
