Chapter 202 - The "Devil" Xiao Bing
Chapter 202: The “Devil” Xiao Bing
The white and black parts in Xiao Bing’s eyes were all gone. There was just red. Soon after, his skin also turned red like raw steel that had a crimson sheen on its surface.
Xiao Bing’s body began trembling and the tremble grew more and more intense. Sima Hongchuan was aghast upon seeing it because he had thought that Xiao Bing was about to die. He murmured, “What’s happening to him? The last radiance of the setting sun? But his eyes… Damn, go to hell then.”
Those terrifying crimson eyes of Xiao Bing’s somehow disturbed Sima Hongchuan very much. He jumped from the edge of the pit and seemingly intended to stamp on Xiao Bing. If he truly trod upon Xiao Bing with his full strength, Xiao Bing would be crushed to pieces even if he were made of granite.
While his feet were only a few centimeters away from Xiao Bing’s body, a formidable momentum suddenly diffused from Xiao Bing. It was so fierce that he was unable to resist it. He was sent hurtling backward by the imposing momentum.
Sima Hongchuan fell hard somewhere not very near Xiao Bing and tumbled on the ground. He managed to get back to his feet, shocked.
“What is this? Did that momentum come from Xiao Bing’s body? It doesn’t seem to be something that belongs to a human. Damn. Could it be the fierce qi? But is he at the Star-strength stage?”
Sima Hongchuan once saw Lord Long and knew this man was of the legendary Star-strength. When a martial artist had reached that level, his body would be surrounded and protected by qi. Though Sima Hongchuan had never fought a veritable master of Star-strength, he knew that only a martial artist of Star-strength could repel him merely by using qi.
Xiao Bing seemed to be dying and all his bones were broken. He could not even move a finger. He was lying there, waiting for death with his eyes closed. Yet Sima Hongchuan had never expected that his body would exude such a formidable power.
When Sima Hongchuan fixed his eyes on Xiao Bing again, the pupil in his intact left eye contracted instantly. One could even see the blood streak in his eye clearly as he opened it wide.
“How… how is this possible?”
That was because he saw Xiao Bing getting back on his feet in a wobbly manner. “He stood up!”
Even if he was a master of Elixir-strength, there was no way that he could move a finger when his bones were broken, let alone stand up.
“No. He could not possibly have done it even if he was a master of Star-strength… Is he a monster?”
“How did you do it?” asked Sima Hongchuan with his eyes wide open.
No one answered him because the man in his eyes was no longer Xiao Bing. There were audible cracks on Xiao Bing’s body and the blood stopped running out from the wounds, which then were healed visibly and quickly. And his sunken chest was gradually rising and presumably, his broken bones were rejoining, which were completely unnatural things.
Xiao Bing strode out of the pit, wobbly, with crimson eyes and skin. His skin was even steaming. His gait was wobbly and his breath steamed up as saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Staring at Sima Hongchuan, Xiao Bing opened his arms, raised his head high, and growled. At this moment, Xiao Bing was the world. And all the power in this area answered to him.
“The little realm of the Star-strength!!!” Sima Hongchuan shouted, his eyes filled with horror.
Indeed, only a master of Star-strength was able to create such a little realm. Xiao Bing was a god in this realm and everything in it was his subject.
“How could Xiao Bing be this powerful?”
“What did you just say? Torture me until I’m dead? Hahaha…” Xiao Bing laughed crazily.
Sima Hongchuan took a step back as a fierce wind was blowing. Then quite to his surprise, he sensed that everything around him had changed. He suddenly found himself surrounded by a sea of fire and horrifyingly white skeletons.
They were all illusions created by this little realm. However, Lord Long’s little realm was not capable of that, even though he was at the pinnacle of Star-strength. Sima Hongchuan looked down and found himself standing on a road of skulls and skeletons, and beneath them was a scalding volcano.
He had nowhere to go!
“Why did you stop running? Do you want to be killed?” Xiao Bing lowered his head and stared at his foe. He growled ferociously and soon after, Sima Hongchuan drowned in the fierce flames.
“Illusions. They are all damn illusions!” Sima Hongchuan growled. His skin and clothes were burned as he was surrounded by flames.
A grim smile touched Xiao Bing’s lips. He began walking over to Sima Hongchuan step by step, which made his foe open the last intact eye of his as wide as possible. “This is just a damn illusion! I shall kill you!”
Sima Hongchuan activated all his power, and the Elixir-strength inside him suddenly burned. If a master of Elixir-strength burned his inner elixir, the power he could exert would be two to three times greater. However, it came with a price, which was that he could no longer fight for the rest of his life.
Finally, under this force’s help, Sima Hongchuan got rid of the illusions. He pounced at Xiao Bing with his boiling feet as the flames disappeared. For a martial artist, his martial arts were all he would ever have. The moment he decided to burn his inner elixir, the best ending for him was to die along with Xiao Bing. Life meant nothing if he could no longer perform martial arts.
The earth trembled as Sima Hongchuan sprinted at Xiao Bing. His formidable power even twisted the air surrounding him. Obviously, this strike he was delivering had reached the early stage of Star-strength!
Xiao Bing just kept laughing as he was staring at his enemy. The scarlet light inside his eyes grew stronger and crazier.
He roared and instantly there was a seemingly irresistible storm raging in front of Sima Hongchuan. The storm slowed him down. Then he saw Xiao Bing’s devilish face appear amidst the fierce winds instantly. He felt his body get lighter and legs get weaker. Then he kneeled on the ground.
Xiao Bing withdrew his hand from the inside of Sima Hongchuan’s muscled body, with a beating heart in his hand. Sima Hongchuan gasped upon seeing this heart. There was a complicated look on his face. “I never expected that I could take a look at my own heart. At least I won’t rue this day. Xiao Bing, I want to know who you are. What is the true identity of this devil standing in front of me?”
Xiao Bing grinned. He reached out his other two fingers on his other hand and approached Sima Hongchuan. Then he gently took out Sima Hongchuan’s last eye. “I’m the devil.”
Sima Hongchuan fell on the ground with an audible tumble, then drowned in his own blood.
Sima Hongchuan’s eye and heart suddenly fell as Xiao Bing squatted. He clenched fists tightly and punched the earth insanely and as he growled painfully and horrifyingly.
The power inside his body was just too horrific for his body to withstand. He needed to vent it out, and the best way to do that was to kill.
Xiao Bing was once taken over by this evil power when he was fighting against Zhu Mingyu and the Peony Fairy. However, that time it was much less serious than this time. Now, he had lost all of his consciousness. He was not even himself now.
The earth was cracking and trembling, which frightened the birds and made them fly away. The branches on the trees were also trembling. There was even a fierce twister sweeping around. His car had long been blown away and the two giant rocks that had been blocking his way were smashed into pieces.
And at this moment, Gao Fei stopped somewhere 10 meters away from Xiao Bing. Looking at the blood-soaked and crack-studded ground, the red-eyed and crazy Xiao Bing and the mind-blowing might he was displaying, even the usually calm Gao Fei seemed to be shocked. And then his eyes brightened.
Finally, Xiao Bing raised up his head and looked at Gao Fei. But his eyes were so strange to Gao Fei. The crimson in his eyes seemed about to tear Gao Fei apart and devour everything.
“You don’t know me?” Gao Fei asked.
Xiao Bing stood up, still panting.
“It seems that you truly don’t,” said Gao Fei indifferently. “That master of Elixir-strength seems to be dead. This evil power has taken over you. And this demonic spirit even suppressed your own spirit. Who are you now?”
No one answered that question. Xiao Bing roared again, which made the sky seemed to fall. A fierce wave of surged toward Gao Fei. The earth cracked into millions of rocks, which then drifted through the wind and hurtled toward Gao Fei. The fierce wind made Gao Fei’s clothes billow and the rocks were all turned into powder when they were half a meter away from this man.
“What a mighty strength. It is way beyond Elixir-strength and even above Star-strength…” Gao Fei retreated slowly and kept a distance from Xiao Bing. “Maggie is coming. I need to knock you out before she arrives, in case you might hurt her,” Gao Fei murmured to himself as he stared at Xiao Bing.
When the storm ended, the toothpick in Gao Fei’s hand suddenly was sent hurtling. It flew toward Xiao Bing’s heart as fast as lightning and there were even audible cracks when pierced the wind. However, when it was few centimeters away from Xiao Bing’s body, it burned brightly and soon turned into ashes.
Gao Fei nodded silently and then straightened his body. “Your power is truly very mighty!” he said with faint excitement in his voice.
