Realms In The Firmament

Wu Fa already knew that he was going to lose the fight; in fact, he knew he was going to get killed, so he decided to flee. It was never too late to take revenge as long as he was alive. However, he had never thought there were people watching the fight.

It was a different situation for him since people were watching. If what happened went to the public, he would have lost everything he had built up in those years. He had been sitting on the highest seat in the martial world for so many years that he wouldn’t accept the humiliation!

The only thought he had, and also the only choice he had, was to murder the witnesses!

Before the power of his palm attack arrived, the suppression from him had already covered the entire area!

Wu Fa couldn’t defeat Ye Xiao because Ye Xiao’s unique martial art was the bane to the demonic power. Besides, there was an unbelievably powerful treasure—Golden Soul Bell. It was Wu Fa’s fault to lose the fight.

However, except Ye Xiao and Xuan Bing, there was nobody who could survive from the palm hit of Wu Fa!

The palm hit was approaching, and the people hiding in the forest all held their breath.

They were not some ordinary people, so they all knew what the palm hit meant to them. Even if all of them fought together to block the palm hit, they would still be smashed to death!

What a horrible power! [We are going to die no matter what we do!]

However, at that critical moment.

“Wu Fa, I dare you not!” Ye Xiao shouted and threw out the golden bell. The golden bell shot over thousands of meters to hit Wu Fa’s back.

If Wu Fa insisted on killing those people, he would have to take the golden bell attack. As a matter of fact, he might not be able to deal with the golden bell. He might get himself killed under the blast!

He was furious about it, yet there was nothing he could do. He had to stop the palm strike and made a quick turn to face the golden bell!

– Boom! –

Another blasting sound.

“Ah!” Wu Fa spat out another mouthful of blood and then started to shake like he got an electric shock. The next moment, the dark shadow flashed, and he disappeared in the forest.

Although he had made a quick decision to resist the blast from the golden bell, he still got severely injured. If he didn’t seize the opportunity to flee, he might never have another one!

When he fell to the forest, the onlookers all clearly saw his face—a man with a sick pale face. His chest and mouth were stained by his own blood. Apparently, he had suffered a fatal injury, because he was staggering with a dispirited face…

Aside from that, they also saw the anger and the shame in his eyes.

However, he hadn’t done anything else, just disappeared in the forest.

They knew that Wu Fa was hurrying to escape from Ye Xiao. That was why he didn’t do anything to the onlookers…

Although these people were safe, the trees in the forest were destroyed…

All the trees in the effective area were turned into ashes…

The hundreds of people had been affected by half of the power of Wu Fa’s unfinished attack. Over a hundred of them spat out a mouthful of blood, had their faces turned pale. Apparently, these people were severely injured.

Luckily they were all superior cultivators, among which there were many level-nine cultivators, so none of them died!

It was still a horrible thing that one unfinished palm hit could cause such a great impact to a bunch of powerful cultivators…

When they looked at Xiao Monarch after surviving the palm hit, their eyes were filled with respect…

[As the story tells… Xiao Monarch is indeed laughing upon all heroes!]

[What a powerful man!]

The golden bell was spinning and flying back to Ye Xiao. When it stopped in his hand, it was only the size of a small bell. After a while, it appeared as a small tower in his hand and then disappeared.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath.

The fight finally came to an end…

[I… I actually won. I defeated the world’s most powerful cultivator, Wu Fa! Did I?]

He did win the battle against Wu Fa, but deep in his head, Wu Fa was still the invincible man everybody recognized. That was why he wasn’t sure about it yet. When Wu Fa was escaping, Ye Xiao was still preparing to continue the fight. Although he had been winning it during the fight, he still kept his nerve intense, in case Wu Fa suddenly operated something unexpected! The truth was that Wu Fa had nothing else to do anymore!

[It turns out… it isn’t that difficult to defeat the world’s best, the most powerful cultivator in Qing-Yun Realm… At least not as difficult as I imagined…]

He finally loosened the nerve, but he then started to cough and spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt like the entire body was being torn apart. He had been supported by his desperate will to fight, so he hadn’t felt anything even after he got severely hurt.

Now as the fight was finished, the wounds started to become painful. Luckily he didn’t get any destructive injury in this fight, and the energy from the Boundless Space and the inner core of the fish had been supporting him. Otherwise, he should have died.

He wanted to stop Wu Fa and kill him though, but he just couldn’t.

Ye Xiao seemed to have an easy victory in the fight against Wu Fa, but in fact, he won it only because of the support from all those incredible powers. Wu Fa should be one level more powerful than Ye Xiao in cultivation, as he was full demonized after Wu Tian died. Even though Ye Xiao’s East-rising Purple Qi had entered the third level, it was still weaker than Wu Fa’s current demonic power.

It was both advantageous and disadvantageous for Ye Xiao that Wu Fa’s demonic energy improved. It made Wu Fa much more powerful than Ye Xiao in cultivation in one hand but made the East-rising Purple Qi work even better in the fight on the other hand.
