Chapter 1189: Fury! Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Han Bingxue was struggling on edge between life and death. When he confirmed that it was safe, he was totally wrecked.

He was terrified! He was really terrified!

A top-level Dao Origin Cultivator was also a human being. He might be brave to face a lethal situation one or two times, but to get through many times in a row was too terrifying! How could he not be frightened?

Most importantly, when the smoke sword was chasing after him, he found that his Dao Origin Stage power was blocked! He couldn’t do any of his own secret movements…

He was blocked!

Maybe he just couldn’t have time to do it!

During the fight, the only thing he did was to make the sword attack in the beginning. After that, he just kept defending himself and dodging away, stepping back again and again!

That smoke sword was terrific!

If the smoke didn’t disappear itself, it could have killed him by the last strike, because he was in the dead end at that moment!

He would be slaughtered! If he were killed in that way, it would be disgraced and humiliated.

Ye Xiao was surprised too!

That smoke sword attack showed the incredible prediction of that man!

The man in the dark smoke had designed everything including the energy flow, the moving routes of the sword, the reactions of Han Bingxue, and other details. He saw every move that Han Bingxue would make.

Nineteen! He predicted nineteen movements beforehand.

Most importantly, the smoke sword seemed fierce, but the man didn’t plan to kill anybody in the first place. Otherwise, he would have poured a little bit energy into that smoke to get Han Bingxue killed right there!

Ye Xiao would never be able to save him!

Ye Xiao stared at the dark smoke. He had an unprecedented feeling of terror and threats.

The man never admitted that he was Wu Fa. However, that smoke sword proved him a most potent cultivator in the realm!

He could actually set up every step and predict every move of the enemy.

He was also incredibly confident!

One step went wrong and what he did would be a total joke! Yet he was so confident about it!

Nothing went wrong at all.

Xuan Bing hadn’t done this ever, so it was hard to compare her to this man. However, Ye Xiao guessed Xuan Bing wouldn’t be able to make such an incredible manipulating art.

[This… This must be… the t.i.ttle Phase!]

t.i.ttle Phase!

Ye Xiao was suddenly enlightened. He had heard about the t.i.ttle Phase, which was one of the three distinctive phases on the top of Dao Origin Stage. The three grand elders in Cold Moon Palace told him. In t.i.ttle Phase, one could see through the infinitesimal detail to the significance. That was where the limitation of the three grand elders stayed!

Ye Xiao didn’t one hundred percent believe what the three old men told him in the past because the three elders made it sound too magical. They said that when a cultivator was in t.i.ttle Phase, he could see the essences of all weapons through the surfaces and destroy the weapons instantly. When a cultivator reached the top of the t.i.ttle Phase, he could see through all things in the world, including the energy flow of a palm hit, the air flow of wind! He could have a complete scan of the enemy!

As Ye Xiao finally watched how marvelous the t.i.ttle Phase could enhance a person, he was enlightened. That smoke sword was merely a strike of a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator. In fact, it was not anything lethal for Han Bingxue.

However, the smoke sword took moves that all were correctly pointing against Han Bingxue’s weakness from the beginning to the end. The first move of the smoke sword had restrained Han Bingxue’s reacting s.p.a.ce. The only thing he could do was to draw back his sword and step back. When he stepped back, he showed his weakness. No matter how fast he was, the smoke sword could take a second move right in time.

That moment was when Han Bingxue lost the fight already. Every move of the smoke sword was forcing Han Bingxue to take a specific reaction. Even though his unique footwork looked great, it was just a movement skill facing the automatically moving smoke sword. Step by step, he was forced to the dead end. What touched Ye Xiao most was the last attack of the smoke sword. It was a “half strike”. The half strike was a perfect move too, just like the previous moves. It was about to strike down on Han BIngxue when he just finished a dodging movement and didn’t have time to take the next step yet. Although Han Bingxue had prepared to thrust aside, the smoke sword might also kill him if that man poured a little bit more energy into the smoke sword. That man knew it, so did Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue. That was why Han Bingxue was so frightened. What frightened him and Ye Xiao both was that the smoke sword’s moving path was designed beforehand by that man in the dark smoke. It was so horrible that a man could control the development of a situation in such a precise way!

“Han Bingxue.” The man in the dark smoke was staring at Han Bingxue with his bland eyes. He said, “I didn’t want to kill you when I made that moving sword. If I did, you would have been dead. I guess you know it!”

He paused and said, “Well… I just used thirty percent power.”

Han Bingxue stood up with a pale face, but coldly said, “I don’t care if you were using five percent or thirty percent power, you attacked anyway. I, Han Bingxue, don’t need your favor!”

“I never want you to be grateful.” In the dark smoke, the man’s eyes were flickering like ghost fire. He coldly said, “I am giving you the last chance. Just give me the Divine Yin Yang Fruits!”

Ye Xiao had a quick thought and actually came up with an idea. He remembered something Erhuo told him and he believed there was a way to get through the despair. He said, “Why are you so sure that we have the fruits? It just doesn’t make sense! If we have the fruits, why didn’t we just eat them? Why would we come here for any stupid opportunity?”

The man in the dark smoke solemnly shouted, “Shut up!”

Certainly, Ye Xiao had no right to speak when two dominant figures were having a conversation, as he was merely a small figure who had just reached Dao Origin Stage!

Ye Xiao giggled and said, “Well, laozi[1] understand that laozi shouldn’t sound my voice in front of a superior cultivator like you. However, now that you popped out from nowhere. No matter laozi have the fruits or not, you will kill me. Laozi am going die anyway. Then why would I shut up? Even though this may be the last moment of my life, laozi guess it is a pleasure to say whatever the fxck laozi want in front of a fxcking so-called dominant figure like you! Isn’t it?”

Ye Xiao kept saying laozi when he referred to himself. The man in the dark smoke knew that Ye Xiao was trying to provoke him but just couldn’t stop the flame of anger rising in the heart.

n.o.body ever dared to call oneself laozi when talking to him in his life!

This level two Dao Origin Stage small figure was dead meat!

Here the author is going to make a joke about this word, so I use laozi instead of translating it into ‘I’.
