Realms In The Firmament

Wu Fa was alone, standing on one side, gritting his teeth, staring at the five people on the other side with viciousness in the eyes!

“The figures… How come they are all gone? What happened?” Yue Shuang stopped rushing forward and exclaimed when she saw what happened.

Ye Xiao was coughing out blood with a pale face. However, his eyes looked spirited up!

[I found it!]

[The practical method to deal with his separated figures.]

He had no idea how Wu Fa created the seven phantoms which were so real, but the truth was that he had figured out a way to defeat Wu Fa’s Soul Separated Technique!

Ye Xiao was gasping, absorbing the spiritual qi from around the air as much as he wanted. The purple qi in his Boundless Space was pouring into his Jing and Mai at the same time, fixing the damages on his body.

His right hand was still shaking, which was badly torn between the thumb and the index finger. The Stars Sword was still in his hand, and the fingers on the handle were ripped to the bone.

However, in Ye Xiao’s eyes, the flame of high spirit was rising.

When Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian was rushing out, there was a question and a bit of enlightenment in Ye Xiao’s heart… Why did Wu Fa have to hold swords in both hands when he started to perform the Soul Separated Technique?

Wu Fa was the most powerful cultivator in the world. Why did he need to use two swords at the same time?

Ye Xiao guessed that the two swords must be where the secret was hidden!

He didn’t have time to think deeper, but rushed out immediately and hit the swords in Wu Fa’s hands.

Before Wu Fa had time to make any moves, Ye Xiao’s spiritual mind locked on the swords in Wu Fa’s hands. With the sharp Stars Sword, he successfully destroyed Wu Fa’s swords!

He did it!

Even though he had done it, he still couldn’t understand why!

[What is the secret? How come the figures disappeared when the swords were broken?]

“Ye Xiao!” Wu Fa gritted the teeth, staring at Ye Xiao, shaking because of fury, shouting out loud, “How did you figure it out?”

Ye Xiao blandly smiled, took a long breath, stood still and spoke in a deep voice, “Those were two pretty eye-catching swords. They just looked like the key to the answer! Now, I have answered your question. It is your turn to answer mine. Now that the swords are broken, can you still…”

He sneered, “Can you still use your great Soul Separated Technique?”

“Ye Xiao! You and me, there is no way we can both be alive! I swear I will kill you!” Wu Fa fiercely said.

“Oh really? If I didn’t destroy your stupid swords, would you let me go and make it a peaceful world where we both can be alive? Come on. We were already sworn enemies before what I just did.” Ye Xiao sneered.

Wu Fa humphed and repeated the question, “Tell me how you figured it out! How?”

Ye Xiao honestly shook his head and blandly said, “I bet on it. Well, first, I have to risk something to play the game. There were a few questions in my head, which led my intention to your swords. As we both know now, the swords are the flaw of your Soul Separated Technique!”

Wu Fa’s eyes flashed. “Oh?”

Ye Xiao continued, “When you retreated, I felt it weird. You were taking the upper position of the fight. It means when Yue Shuang and Yue Han joined the battle, you shouldn’t need to give in. In fact, you could have killed me before you went back and stopped the eight figures trick. However, you did give me some time to rest. Isn’t it unreasonable?”

Wu Fa coldly said, “I wanted to play you around to death, didn’t I? Isn’t it the most favorite game for the stronger one to play the weaker like a cat playing a rat?”

“Maybe that’s true if it was an ordinary fight. However, my purple qi was a bane to you. I don’t think you dared to play the game of a stupid cat!” Ye Xiao’s eyes were cold.

He said, “I did think of the possibility, but I wasn’t convinced… After that, you operated the Soul Separated Technique for the second time. It looked much more powerful than the first time. I guessed you were pushed to perform the technique the first time, and that is why it didn’t look as powerful as the second time.

“When the two ladies and my disciple brothers joined the battle, you had to retreat, because your first performance could only deal with me alone. Is that correct? If you face the five of us with the seven phantoms you created in the first time, you would lose the fight.

“It is reasonable that you didn’t do it well because you were forced to do it anyway.

“Am I right?” Ye Xiao asked.

Wu Fa’s eyes were flickering, and he blandly said, “Ignorant animal! How do you know the marvelousness of my great technique!”

Ye Xiao sneered, “Stop the trash talk now. You casually operated the Soul Separated Technique because you had to do it, or you wouldn’t have a chance to put me down. When you have to face the five of us, you hurriedly retreated and took a rest before you performed the technique again. That was when I was sure that you were forced to operate it for the first time!

“The second time, it was the complete Soul Separated Technique!”

Ye Xiao sounded confident.

Wu Fa stayed silent, and then humphed, “What else?”

“There is one more question… Well, not a question. Just something weird! In either time, you always showed your swords in hands before you started to use the technique, in exactly the same posture. Aside from that, the swords didn’t seem to be your real weapons… They were too thin to fight with!

“The color… They are not made from some ordinary metal.

“You are in an incomparable position in the world, who barely use weapons. If you have to use a sword, you will choose a divine weapon. The black sword you were using didn’t have a beautiful shape, but it was definitely a great sword. Why did you use two gaudy yet useless swords in the end? The only explanation is that… the swords must be the key to your special technique.”

Wu Fa angrily said, “Are you telling me you hit my swords only because of this bullsh*t theory?”

“That’s right!” Ye Xiao nodded, “To be honest, I made a bet on it. Well, I never knew I was that lucky. I won the game against the world’s best cultivator!”

Wu Fa’s face suddenly turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He was pissed.
