Realms In The Firmament

The man in the dark smoke slowly turned his head over. The dark smoke was turning with him. That was a creepy scene indeed. In the dark smoke, the man’s eyes were like ghost fire. He stared at Ye Xiao and blandly said, ”How dare you? You… just called yourself laozi in front of me?”

Ye Xiao sneeringly smiled and said, ”Why do you think… that only your father can call himself laozi in front of you? I guess you should understand this. Otherwise, you may not deserve the fame of yours!”

Suddenly the phenomenon of the entire place changed as he said these words.

The clouds turned dark; the wind started to howl; sounds of moaning ghosts suddenly resounded in the air.

The world suddenly became full of sorrow.

The sun seemed to lose its light.

The killer intent had gathered the murderous qi.

Ye Xiao looked cold in the face, holding his arms, sneering at the dark smoke. He pitifully said, ”I guess you are just a demonic creature. No matter how potent you are in cultivation, every normal person in Qing-Yun Realm can call himself laozi when talking to you!

”Besides, shouldn’t you feel grateful for the man who is willing to be your laozi? After all, it takes quite a brave step forward to claim to be a demon’s laozi, doesn’t it?”

Demonic creature!

The man in the dark smoke was shaking when hearing Ye Xiao speaking.

Suddenly, he suddenly burst into creepy laughter behind the smoke. ”Hahaha… hahahaha… haha…” It seemed his laughter contained many spirits of the wronged that never took a rest.

”You are Ye Xiao, aren’t you?” The man stared at Ye Xiao. Suddenly, he didn’t laugh anymore. His voice was cold and calm.

Ye Xiao had successfully provoked that man.

This weird plainness and calmness made a sign before his fury erupt.

”What?” Ye Xiao proudly said, ”Do you have a problem with it?”

”Heh heh…” The man looked at Ye Xiao and blandly said, ”No, I don’t. One thing is certain though. No matter which Ye Xiao you are, you will be dead. You are done. I am telling you.”

”Even Xiao Monarch wouldn’t dare to talk to me like this when he was alive.” The man said.

”Pah! What do you think you are? It is an insult to Xiao Monarch to have his name come out from your filthy mouth!” Ye Xiao sneered, ”He wouldn’t dare? Well, he never met you!”

The man turned silent and calm again. Everything was so quiet like they were in a lake of death.

He looked at Ye Xiao from head to toe again and slowly nodded. It seemed he had taken a quick thought. He said, ”I see. It is you.”

The man in the dark smoke sounded quite certain as if nobody was allowed to doubt him. He actually confirmed this young man in front of him was Ye Xiao, Xiao Monarch!

Ye Xiao was still cold and solemn. He proudly said, ”Yes, it is. So what?”

”So the boy Ye Xiao is Xiao Monarch indeed.” The man in the dark smoke laughed and said, ”Only Xiao Monarch himself can be so certain that he has never met me before! It turns out you are still alive!”

The man blandly continued, ”You did have a great opportunity. As I know, it seems you don’t have good luck.”

Ye Xiao blandly said, ”Well, you don’t get to judge. However, you just admitted you are Wu Fa, didn’t you?”

”Hahahaha…” The man laughed out loud. Suddenly, the dark smoke exploded and disappeared. The man was revealed. He was wearing black clothes, with central parting long hair that laid on her shoulders, hands behind the back, two deepest eyes. He stared at Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue with the fierceness and viciousness in the eyes just like when he was in the dark smoke.

It felt like he was staring at two dead men.

Wu Fa finally showed his real face.

”In Qing-Yun Realm, there were a few people that I thought could have the honor to have a fight against me.” He held his hands behind the back, casually walked over. Every step he made, his dark robe flicked the air, as if the dark clouds in the sky were moved.

”Ye Xiao, you were one of them!

”When I heard that you were dead, I sighed, because I overestimated you. However, heaven’s will is unpredictable. Now that we are here, facing each other, it means we are bound to have this fight. Since you are doomed to die in my hands, I shall certainly show enough respect for your fate.” Wu Fa slowly stepped ahead and said, ”I shall send you to hell in my true appearance!”

Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue looked at Wu Fa walking closer. The world seemed to follow the beats of his paces.

It was… a rhythm that slowly sounded on inside one’s soul!

It was like the sound of the drum that was oppressing one’s soul!

That sound was resounding. They didn’t know whether it was sounding further or closer. All they felt was being suppressed by it as if the sky was falling on them…

When they tried to listen to it carefully, they couldn’t tell the distance of it. It just kept sounding inside their heart and spread out to the entire universe!

It was a sensation that no words could describe! It seemed real but fake at the same time!

At that moment, deep in their hearts, their souls, the drum was sounding. It kept beating them and made them stagger. They could barely stand firmly on the floor.

Wu Fa was walking closer to them step by step. The recognized best cultivator in the realm, the most influential figure in the world, was walking closer with heavy steps as if thousands of mountains and rivers were following his paces. His long dark hairs were like millions of moving snakes, twisting in the air.

His eyes looked calm, cold and indifferent.

Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue felt that the space they were in seemed to be divided into countless tiny pieces.

Ye Xiao tried to control himself to resist the negative situation that was affecting his mind. He sneered, ”Wu Fa… the world’s most powerful figure is actually pissed off. Really? Did I hurt you so badly?”

Wu Fa didn’t reply. He just kept slowly moving over.

However, Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue felt times more oppressed all of a sudden. They could still forcibly handle it, but it was reaching their limitation, especially Ye Xiao. He had a strong mind, but his cultivation power was weak!

Ye Xiao didn’t feel bad; Instead, he was happy about it. He laughed loudly and said, ”What? Are you pissed because I called you a demonic creature? Do you stop playing thoughtful and composed now? Hahahaha…”

Wu Fa’s eyes were no more calm and steady. At this moment, it seemed there were the flames of anger flickering inside them.

He finally spoke again, ”Ye Xiao, it seems I have to tell you some truth today. A man can play with his sharp tongue as he wishes indeed. However, he has to be really careful about whom he was talking to. When you speak with your sharp tongue to somebody you can’t afford to mess with, you are dead. Today, let me show you why I believe my theory is true.”

Ye Xiao sneered, ”Wu Fa, thanks for the advice. Well, let me tell you another truth. If a man did something shameful, he has to bear it for the rest of his life. He will never be free from the guilt in his heart! Even though he thinks he is invincible, that he can keep killing people who see through his true face, he still won’t be able to face himself, to show his true face to the world! If a man wants to live in honor and dignity in the daylight, there is only one way… Never do disgraceful things! Today, I, Xiao Monarch, will prove it with my life.”
