Realms In The Firmament

It was pointless to emphasize how powerful the woman was because everybody could see it with their own eyes. That fact that who the woman was made her truly overwhelming and incredible!

The Shadow knew he couldn’t hide the truth, so he just said it to avoid being more embarrassed!

“Pah…”

As expected, somebody spat.

[Concubine…]

Xiao Monarch’s concubine was still just a concubine.

A super cultivator, the Shadow, actually got beaten by somebody’s concubine.

He was almost dead…

That was unbelievably embarrassing.

Nobody questioned what the Shadow said. They just wondered how powerful that woman was to hurt the Shadow so severely.

How come a powerful woman like that would be somebody’s concubine?

Some of the others, who were in low positions, looked skeptical thought. They thought, [He is not bragging, is he?]

However, most of them knew how powerful the Shadow was, and they were sure he wouldn’t joke on such things. The wounds were real. How could he fake that?

“The sword wounds…” The master sounded gloomy, “Xiao Monarch did this. He left these wounds on you, didn’t he?”

“Yes.” The Shadow was shaking because of the pain.

Apparently, the sword wounds were getting more and more traumatic as time went by. At the moment, they were going to the level which the Shadow couldn’t endure no more.

“The wounds… look normal. However, the weapon that cut these wounds… must be marvelous.”

He then pried one wound with a finger and checked on it. As he looked at the wound, his eyes shined waves of dark lights. After a while, he said, “That sword… the blade of that sword is the sharpest in the world. It is peerless! It is unique!”

“Was it such a great sword?” The other men in black clothes all lit up their eyes when they heard so.

The master used three words to describe the greatness of the sword, and they made the sword more and more attractive!

“Not yet. I was just talking about the sharpness of its blade. I haven’t said anything about its overall power. If I am right, the sword has the energy from stars… The wounds that are cut by the sword all have slightly little starlights, which made the wounds difficult to heal. As time passes, the starlight would explode and cause bigger injuries on the wounds… That is the sword’s power.

“The sword seems to have some sort of special power. Xiao Monarch didn’t use the power. It was the sword itself that activated the power… The sword had cut off the wounds and froze the muscle. The skin and muscle on the wound were dead immediately.

“I have spent so many years in Qing-Yun Realm, but I have never heard of any weapons that could be as powerful as this one. The universe is so big that nothing is too strange.

“Shadow has deep and tough cultivation, which defended himself to a certain extent. Besides, Xiao Monarch wasn’t powerful enough, or maybe he attacked too recklessly, so he didn’t cause the biggest damage as he could with the sword… Otherwise, you might have been killed both physically and mentally…”

The master sounded serious.

Then he looked the light purple qi around the wounds and said with a deep sigh, “The rolling purple qi… To be honest, I can’t recognize it… Is it from Xiao Monarch too?”

“Yes.” The Shadow seemed to be more painful. He was sweating because of the pain but still forced himself to answer.

The master had finished the observation. The Shadow hurriedly activated the energy in his body to cure the wounds. Suddenly, the master drew out his sword. The sword shined blinding lights fast, and it cut off the muscles of the wounds on the Shadow’s body.

A lot of blood ran out.

Two dan beads were fed into his mouth. After a while, the dense dark demonic qi filled the Red in the Sky’s body.

“Whoever will fight against Ye Xiao, if you get cut by his sword, get infected by the strange purple qi, remember to cut off the muscles on the wound entirely. If not, when it stayed on the wound long enough, it wouldn’t be able to recover.

“As the Shadow said, Xiao Monarch’s special martial art is a bane to our martial art. We can not be careless about it…”

The master looked at the Red in the Sky, which was covered by the dense dark qi. His eyes looked as solemn as he had never been before.

“Maybe I was underestimating him… This Ye Xiao, Xiao Monarch, has a lot of powerful supports, and a lot of secret forces… This man will be the only and final opponent of me in this world…”

The master murmured, talking to himself.

Suddenly, he was utterly spirited up by the will of battle.

The Red in the Sky, who was in the dark fog had recovered a lot. He secretly talked to the master through mind connection, “Master… The sword, and the martial art… Are they related to Master Bai?”

The master suddenly trembled, but fiercely answered, “Absolutely not!”

He seemed so sure, but it seemed he was not only telling the Shadow but also to convince himself.

[This Ye Xiao has nothing to do with Master Bai!]

[He is not! Impossible!]

“Master, I do not exaggerate something to scare people. Everything about Xiao Monarch is weird. That sword is definitely not from Qing-Yun Realm. The special martial art actually restrains our martial art. I don’t think it is from Qing-Yun Realm either. Most importantly, as I was told… When Master Bai did his last collapse in Land of Han-Yang, a young man, Ye Xiao, was his rival. Ye Xiao is Xiao Monarch. They seem to be the same man…” The Red in the Sky continued talking through mind connection.

The master’s face turned dark, but it was hidden behind the dense dark fog, so nobody saw his expression!

He seemed to feel scared.

However, after a while, the fear was gone. His face looked calm again, and he said, “The world is in chaos. Heavens are in a mess. The tunnel between the upper realm and the lower has been shut…”
