Chapter 503: I, Li Bai, Am Back Again!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
People just couldn’t believe that Hero Li Bai sacrificed himself to save them…
They were humbled by the terrible situation he prevented. If Hero Li Bai had not blocked the explosion wave, most of the city would have been destroyed and the people watching the battle would have died.
The power of the self-explosion of a man at the Infant Transformation Stage was truly terrifying.
Madam Ya had been missing Hero Li Bai every day and night since he had left. She was filled with happiness and excitement at the prospect of seeing Hero Li Bai. She had been waiting outside the entrance of the palace to meet him. However, no one was coming. When she heard the sound of fighting, she immediately left the palace to see what was going on.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Hero Li Bai being vaporized by the explosion…
Her sadness was so intense that it was as if someone had stabbed her in the heart.
The whole world seemed to be swirling around her. Her mind went blank. She felt like she was about to faint.
This was the man who used to stay with me during the nights that were full of moonlight and the fragrance of flowers was in the air and he would write poems: Abed, I see a silver light, I wonder if it’s frost around. The man who used to live in my house and win many hearts with his poems is now dead!
“No! No! No! Hero Li Bai! You can’t leave me!” Madam Ya yelled as she collapsed to the ground, crying like a child.
Xu Que was a bit surprised. He knew that human affection meant a great deal to Madam Ya, but he never thought she could be this emotional.
It wasn’t just Madam Ya who thought that Hero Li Bai was dead. Everyone, including Su Ling’er, had no idea that Hero Li Bai was just Xu Que’s Thunder Illusion Body and could be summoned again and again as long as Xu Que was still alive.
They thought Hero Li Bai was a real person, an additional member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, a man who sacrificed his life to protect them.
The members of the Mysterious Clan were buried in deep sorrow when they saw Hero Li Bai die.
Su Ling’er gently touched Xu Que’s cheek.
“I am terribly sorry,” she said.
Xu Que nodded and looked to the sky.
The other member of the Sea Tribe was still trapped by the sea of lightning. He was laughing like mad.
“See?! This is what happens to anyone who offends us! Now, no one can save you! Your luck has run out!”
As he laughed, the people stared at him with anger in their eyes.
“Shut up!” Xu Que yelled in fury. He spoke as if he had just lost someone that was truly beloved to him.
“Sh*t!” Buttface said. He was surprised by Xu Que’s tone of voice.
Buttface was the only one that knew that Hero Li Bai was just Xu Que’s Thunder Illusion Body. Buttface knew what was coming next. He had seen this look in Xu Que’s eyes before. He was going to act tough again.
“Ladies and gentlemen!” Xu Que began. “Did you see what just happened?! Our Hero Li Bai sacrificed himself to save our lives. He is indeed a selfless and great man! Let us close our eyes for three minutes and gave our condolences to him, shall we?”
Hearing this, everyone closed their teary eyes.
No one had ever thought that there could be someone like Hero Li Bai who would sacrifice his own life to save others, especially since this Cultivation World was so full of indifferent and cold individuals.
If Hero Li Bai were still alive, with his talent and power and his membership within the Exploding Heavens Faction, his future would be a very promising one. But now, to save us, he has died. He is a real Hero!
“He was always a man who was knowledgeable and honest!”
“He used to say, a responsible man should always be determined, since responsibility weighs heavily on a shoulder and the weight must be borne for an entire lifetime. What a benevolent man, upholding his doctrines until the end of his life.”
Responsibility weighs heavily on a shoulder and the weight must be borne for an entire lifetime…
My God! I never thought Hero Li Bai could be such a decent man and care about the world so much.
“He also said he was not afraid of the death. He wanted to save the world. He wanted to do his part to make this world a better place!”
A crying old man raised up his head and looked at the sky.
“God! Why do you take him away from us! He is such a good man!” said the old man.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The System rang, notifying Xu Que that, once again, he had managed to act tough.
“Sh*t! Sh*t!” Buttface was completely stunned by Xu Que’s words.
How shameless he is! He is too shameless for words!
Madam Ya suddenly raised her head and stared at the trapped Sea Tribe member, seething with anger.
“You b*stard!” She yelled. “Wait for me! Hero Li Bai, I shall kill myself and meet you in the underworld as soon as I kill this b*stard!”
She jumped high up into the sky and was about to kill the remaining mantis shrimp.
“Wait!” Xu Que shouted. “I am not finished. Hero Li Bai left a message before he died.”
“What?!” Madam Ya said, stopping her attack. “What did he say?”
Madam Ya looked at Xu Que. So did everyone else.
“When Hero Li Bai was still alive,” Xu Que began, “he would always look up at the sky and sigh. He would always complain to the open air, asking why he was so powerful and immortal. He would ask why he was the only one in the world that was this extraordinary.”
“What?!”
Everyone became silent. People were stunned. What did this mean?
Hero Li Bai said that? Really?! That doesn’t sound like something he would say. In fact, it sounds more like something Xu Que would say!
“What are you saying? Please, stop this nonsense! Remember, Hero Li Bai just died.”
“I don’t think the great Hero Li Bai would say things like that!”
“How dare you tarnish his reputation like this!” Madam Ya yelled. “Hero Li Bai is a decent and kind man! I won’t allow you to speak of him like this!”
“I am just telling the truth!” Xu Que said.
“Truth?”
People were surprised.
He must be kidding! This is impossible! If everything he said is true, then Hero Li Bai is immortal. But, he died! So the monkey must be lying!
Suddenly, a huge amount of lightning appeared in the sky. The lightning bolts became intertwined and began to form a shining human figure.
In a flash, Hero Li Bai walked out from the light, dressed all in white. He gently waved his feather fan. His clothes were blowing in the wind. He looked extremely gentle and handsome.
“Thousands of tribulations and centuries of hardship all end in the blink of an eye; as someone with an immortal body and soul, I outweigh everyone in this world. I, Li Bai, am back again.”
