Realms In The Firmament

Apparently, Wu Fa was excellent in battle schemes. When Han Bingxue operated Seven-in-one Mergence, he became seven times stronger. Literally, at that moment, he was stronger than Wu Fa. However, it only lasted for a while. If Wu Fa chose to have the tough fight against Han Bingxue, he would at least get hurt, even if he wouldn’t be defeated. Instead, he decided to make a thirty-six-swords attack. As the swords were cracked, broken and hit off to the floor one by one, Han Bingxue eventually ran out of the energy that he had given up his life for. After that, he was no longer a threat to Wu Fa!

Wu Fa moved one hand and held the point of Han Bingxue’s sword with two fingers like squeezing a mosquito.

After that, he stared at Han Bingxue in the face with his sharp eyes and blandly said, ”What a pity. In front of my absolute predominant power, your Seven-in-one Mergence means nothing.”

Then he slightly waved his left hand and made a palm hit.

It seemed he was doing it casually and lightly, but that palm hit was murderous. Han Bingxue was already exhausted; In fact, even if he was well, he still couldn’t get away from that hit.

Ye Xiao shouted, ”Don’t you dare!”

When Han Bingxue abruptly burst into a life-consuming attack, Ye Xiao didn’t have time to react. Now he couldn’t just watch and see. When Wu Fa was about to make that palm hit, Ye Xiao had already rushed out. He knew that he was too weak to fight against Wu Fa, so he kept letting out everything he could use, including the flying knives and needles, the sword. He was shooting everything out toward Wu Fa’s wrist.

At the same time, a white shadow appeared and rushed out incredibly fast from behind Ye Xiao with a flow of light and elegant scent.

Wu Fa completely ignored Ye Xiao’s all kinds of attacks. However, that white shadow with the unique fragrance lit up his eyes. He shouted, ”Wait!” That palm hit which was going to lay on Han Bingxue suddenly changed a direction. He waved the hand reversely and then became a dark tornado rushing up to the sky, chasing after that fleeting white shadow.

He actually just left Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue behind.

He had recognized that white shadow. That was the white shadow that had taken away all those fruits!

He never expected that the white shadow would appear at such a critical moment.

Although the white shadow had attracted all Wu Fa’s attention, before Wu Fa left for that white shadow, he had made the last strike with his hand right before his feet left the ground.

He even added another stream of power into that attack, because he wanted to make sure that last strike would crash both Han Bingxue and Ye Xiao into muddy flesh and blood!

He didn’t want to spare either of them!

After the fight against Han Bingxue, Wu Fa was sure Han Bingxue was exhausted, even weaker than the falling arrow in the air and absolutely had no power to defend himself. In fact, he might even just die.

The only person who could make any move was Ye Xiao, a level two Dao Origin Stage cultivator.

How could a weak cultivator resist the palm hit of Wu Fa?

That was why Wu Fa was confident. He just made the palm hit, turned around and dashed up. He didn’t even look back. The priority for him was to catch that white shadow.

To get the forty-two pairs of Divine Yin Yang Fruits was what he wanted the most. Nothing else mattered!

At the same time when he turned around, he heard an exclamation.

He smiled wickedly and didn’t hesitate, rushing to the white shadow.

Behind him…

Han Bingxue looked at Ye Xiao, who just made a short but painful exclamation. He didn’t know what was happening at all.

What he felt was a flash of golden light which blinded his eyes for a few seconds. After the blank sight, he heard Ye Xiao’s piercing exclamation. It seemed his exclamation had exactly covered the sound of something else.

That sound…

- Puff! -

If he had to describe it, he would say that it was like the sound of a fart.

And it had to be the fart of a woman.

Even Han Bingxue himself didn’t understand why he had such a weird thought when he was about to die the next minute. A fart was a fart. Yet he actually even considered the difference between the fart of a man and the fart of a woman… Besides, what was the difference?

After that, Heaven’s Terrace was back to his sight. However, Wu Fa was gone. Ye Xiao was looking at him with a wicked smile. He seemed quite casual as if everything was under his control.

”What… is going on?” Han Bingxue still remembered the sword and the palm hit of Wu Fa which nearly shocked the entire world. He was currently suffering pain in almost every inch of his body. His inner organs were burning, and his Jing and Mai were cracking. His breath was short. He thought he might have been through a nightmare.

However, he clearly knew at least one thing. He was dying. He was slowly losing consciousness at the moment. His Jing and Mai were broken and blocked. His inner organs were wrecked. He couldn’t breathe freely. It was the portent of his cultivation decreasing, his body disappearing and his soul vanishing… However, since Ye Xiao was safe, he thought it was worth his sacrifice!

Brotherhood sometimes was the purest thing in the world. A man would always give up his life for his brother’s life and never regret it. What was between Han Bingxue and Ye Xiao was precisely the pure brotherhood. Han Bingxue thought that he didn’t disgrace the brotherhood after all!

”Nothing serious, brother. I just counteracted the palm attack from your savior Wu Fa. That’s all…” Ye Xiao got down and put a dan bead into Han Bingxue’s mouth. ”Just get some rests. Keep the last bit of breath of yours. What matters is that… we have to leave now.”

Then he held Han Bingxue up and carried him on the back. He ran pretty fast off Heaven’s Terrace immediately and stopped at a place that was covered by some big trees. He raised up his head and made a weird sound loudly.

A hawk’s howl suddenly resounded from the sky. With the flashing golden light, the golden hawk dived down from the sky.

Ye Xiao carried Han Bingxue and jumped up on the hawk’s back. He hurriedly urged the hawk, and the hawk waved its huge wings. The next moment, they rushed up to the clouds like a sharp shooting arrow.

Han Bingxue had a lot of questions in his head at the moment. However, he was too exhausted to ask any. If he were still energetic enough to keep talking, he would keep asking one after another question that was filling his head. [Boss, have you lost your mind? Since when did that Wu Fa guy become my savior?]

[He is the only reason I am fxcked up like this, isn’t he? Besides, what did you do? That must be too awesome, wasn’t it? I still remember the palm hit of Wu Fa at the last moment! He did it in his full power. Even when you and I were both in our primes, Xiao Monarch and Frost Sword together, we might not be able to survive that. How did you just casually defuse that attack?]

[Hmm… Why am I still alive? How is this possible? I started Seven-in-one Mergence. It was impossible that it was stopped. By now, it should be finished, and I should be completely gone… Well, I am almost broken in every inch of myself, but… how come I am still alive?]

He was totally lost.

”You must be wondering why you are still alive, aren’t you?” Ye Xiao giggled and said, ”Your Seven-in-one Mergence was forcibly stopped… idiot!”

Han Bingxue exhaled and murmured, ”Well… Then… Does it mean… we are not going to die…” He felt relieved and then passed out right away.

The two of them had been flying in the sky. They were safe now. Ye Xiao took a breath of relief too.

When he thought of the fight a while earlier, he started to shed cold sweats on the back.
