Chapter 201 - Xiao Bing Is Dead?

Chapter 201 Xiao Bing Is Dead?

Masters of Elixir-strength were at least seven or eight times stronger than masters at the middle stage of Transforming-strength. So it seemed that Xiao Bing would lose in every aspect.

Xiao Bing put both his hands in front of his chest, and it seemed that he wanted to attack with his fists. As a deep pit suddenly appeared beneath his feet, Xiao Bing appeared in front of Sima Hongchuan instantly with one of his legs stamping on Sima Hongchuan’s chest.

Though it seemed that he would attack with his fists, he had used one of his legs. Making a feint to the east but attacking in the west is a strategy that was often used by the weak to defeat the strong.

And Xiao Bing’s utilization of it had already been taken into the Transforming-strength.

“Boom!” The earth beneath Sima Hongchuan’s feet cracked because the strength on that leg was mixed with Clear-strength and Concealing-strength. The Clear-strength could cause exterior injury whereas the Concealing-strength could cause internal injury. However, the Clear-strength was dissolved by Sima Hongchuan and he led the power of Concealing-strength into the ground, which was why the earth beneath his feet cracked.

“Boom!” Sima Hongchuan delivered a strike with his fist at an incredibly fast speed. Xiao Bing held this man’s fierce fist with both of his hands, yet the fist still hit him. Xiao Bing was sent hurtling by the force, like a kite with a broken string.

There was a huge difference between Transforming-strength and Elixir-strength.

Xiao Bing spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he had dissolved more than half of the power of that fist. However, Xiao Bing still felt like his organs were all wriggling like a serpent.

There was a sharp light gleaming in Sima Hongchuan’s eyes. He approached Xiao Bing one step after another while grinning. “My power has already surpassed your mortals’ comprehension. Why do you still have to struggle? I’ve reached the pinnacle of Elixir-strength and I’m only one step away from Star-strength. And if I take that step successfully, there’s no one that can stop me from doing anything in this world. Xiao Bing, now you are still as weak as an ant to me!

“If I were you, I would just accept death calmly. Why would I let myself linger in such pain?”

“So that’s the difference between you and me.” Xiao Bing struggled to stand on his feet and cast Sima Hongchuan a glance of disdain. “And that’s why you will solely be of Elixir-strength for the rest of your life. Even if you are lucky enough to reach Star-strength, the progress you can make is little.”

Anger began burning in Sima Hongchuan’s eyes. “What did you say?” asked the man icily.

And at the same time, Maggie was urging the driver to speed up in a taxi while Gao Fei was sitting beside her with an emotionless face.

Xiao Bing and Sima Hongchuan’s voice drifted from Maggie’s phone. Xiao Bing secretly called Maggie when he knew he was in trouble. He just didn’t hang up the phone and left it in his pocket. Upon hearing the two talking, Maggie and Gao Fei knew that Xiao Bing had run into trouble.

Gao Fei hung up the phone and said calmly, “He was blocked halfway to the villa. We only need to know where they are. The other words they say won’t be of any help.”

Maggie asked worriedly, “Will anything bad happen to Brother Bing?”

Gao Fei sighed. “He’s only at Transforming-strength whereas his enemy is at the pinnacle of Elixir-strength. I assume the result is obvious to you.”

“You… Do you mean that…”

“I’m afraid that we can only find his corpse when we arrive there.”

“No!” Maggie could have jumped high if she wasn’t sitting in a car. She suddenly stretched her body and opened the door on Gao Fei’s side.

The taxi driver screamed, “Are you insane? Close the door! You want die?”

Maggie pointed at the outside and bellowed, “Run to him! I want you to rush to his aid immediately. We can’t let Brother Bing die. We must save him.”

The driver braked and shouted at the two angrily, “Get out of my car. Do you know that you almost got yourself killed?”

Maggie took out a handful of money and threw it to the driver. The driver blazed, “Why didn’t you open all four of the doors? It’s okay. I’m all for this kind of fun!”

Gao Fei looked at Maggie and said, “I’ll carry you on my back and take you there.”

“Don’t waste time. Just go. I’ll arrive there later by car.”

“Protect yourself.”

Then Gao Fei got out, and afterward, Maggie closed the door and looked at the driver. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” The driver looked around and found no trace of Gao Fei. He was startled. He put his foot down on the accelerator in a flurry and drove in the direction Maggie told him.

Gao Fei sprinted as fast as lightning and wind. He was way faster than the car.

Though Xiao Bing prophetically called Maggie, he didn’t pin his hopes solely on others.

Xiao Bing bent down slightly and fixed his eyes on Sima Hongchuan. He suddenly moved when Sima Hongchuan was just two steps away from him. He lashed out at Sima Hongchuan with his left hand. Since his strength was not enough to break this man’s defense, Xiao Bing decided to hit the most fragile part of his enemy.

Sima Hongchuan grinned, and the light shimmering in his eyes was seemingly terrifying. He leisurely reached out his hands for Xiao Bing’s face. He kept an appropriate distance from Xiao Bing. He was sure that even if he laid his hands on Xiao Bing’s head, Xiao Bing’s hands could never have a touch of his head.

While Sima Hongchuan’s hands were only a few inches away from Xiao Bing’s face, Xiao Bing’s hand suddenly seemed to be prolonged by several centimeters and the fingers on it all thrust into Sima Hongchuan’s right eye.

Sima Hongchuan growled painfully. He instantly delivered a strike toward Xiao Bing with his leg and sent his foe hurtling like a kite with a broken string. Xiao Bing spat out a mouthful of blood in midair and then he tumbled on a patch of grass nearby. The pain was so extreme that he felt like his body was about to fall to pieces. He lay on the grass, adjusting his breath while enduring the mounting pain.

Sima Hongchuan covered his bleeding eye and bellowed insanely, “Impossible! This is impossible! How did you do it? How did you do it?”

A master of Elixir-strength carelessly being hurt by a master of Transforming-strength was like an adult be knocked over by a kid in primary school. It was such a shame for Sima Hongchuan!

Sima Hongchuan just couldn’t understand how Xiao Bing’s arm oddly extended out a few centimeters, which then caused his right eye to be blinded. No matter how powerful a man was, his eyes could never be invulnerable.

Covering his right eye with his right hand, Sima Hongchuan began walking over to Xiao Bing step by step. There was a seemingly insane beam of light glittering in his other eye. It was even a little blinding in the dark.

Xiao Bing struggled to his feet with the help of a tree behind him. Yet managing to stand was already so hard for him, let alone delivering an attack.

The difference between a master of Transforming-strength and a master of Elixir-strength was huge. It was already an astonishing deed—destroying one of Sima Hongchuan’s eyes. There was nothing more he could do.

Panting, Xiao Bing put both his hands in front of his chest, seemingly ready to deliver a strike. However, the strength inside him was nearly gone.

Xiao Bing managed a wry smile. “Damn. Now I wonder if letting Zhang Yizhi seal my power was a wise choice or not. If I had half of the sealed power, I wouldn’t have been stuck in such a situation. So I, the leader of the Dragon Gate, am going to die by the hand of a master of Elixir-strength?”

Xiao Bing laughed at himself self-mockingly.

Upon hearing Xiao Bing’s laughter, Sima Hongchuan thought that his foe was laughing at his newly blinded eye. The anger inside him grew stronger instantly. He grinned cruelly. “Good. I assure you that your death won’t be so quick. I will break every bone of yours and torture you until you’re dead. I’ll make you rue the day that you were born.”

“Boom!” Sima Hongchuan crashed into Xiao Bing, who then was sent hurtling backward. Xiao Bing could feel the biting wind on his cheeks and he even could hear his bones cracking. And his head ached like there was a bomb that had just exploded inside it.

The moment Xiao Bing fell on the ground, Sima Hongchuan appeared in front of him. Sima Hongchuan lifted his foe up and threw him in midair. Then Sima Hongchuan jumped high and began hitting Xiao Bing with his fists. His fists fiercely and relentlessly landed on Xiao Bing’s face, chest, belly, shoulders, and other parts of his body like raindrops.

Each time Xiao Bing took a blow, there would be more blood gushing out of his mouth. When both of the two fell on the ground, Sima Hongchuan did not know how many blows he had delivered. Every bone inside Xiao Bing’s body was broken by his foe and he could not even tell the original color of his clothes, because they are all soaked with his blood, in a horrifying but oddly beautiful fashion.

Lying on the ground, Xiao Bing could not even move his fingers. But he could tell that he was still alive by his rapidly heaving chest.

Sima Hongchuan was standing there, looming before him. “Xiao Bing, I thought that I could kill you like stamping on an ant when Long Yan asked me to kill you. I never expected that I would lose an eye because of you. So how should I return this favor you gave me?”

Sima Hongchuan reached out his hands and tried to seize Xiao Bing by the throat. Xiao Bing managed to raise his head and then he bit Sima Hongchuan finger hard. Sima Hongchuan withdrew his hands from the pain, angrily. Then he swatted his foe’s chest four times with his fists. The strength he exerted was so fierce that the earth beneath Xiao Bing’s body turned into a pit. Xiao Bing sank.

Sima Hongchuan stood up straight. Xiao Bing’s face turned pale and he could not even open his eyes. His breathing became weak and his vitality seemed to be fading.

Watching the blood gushing out of Xiao Bing’s sunken chest and flowing down to the pit, Sima Hongchuan’s eyes brightened. He believed that Xiao Bing would soon be dead because he first broke all of the joints of Xiao Bing’s bones and then he smashed his chest. And he surmised that Xiao Bing’s inner organs might be fatally injured.

In other words, even the most skilled healer was unable to pull him back from the edge of death.

“Let the blood keep flowing out. I want to see you drowning in your own blood. I’m sure you can feel that your life is fading. Let me remind you of my name before you die. I’m Sima Hongchuan, a god-like master of the Innate level. Be grateful. Few men can be granted such a great honor of being killed by me!”

Xiao Bing’s eyes suddenly snapped open. There was a beam of scarlet light glittering in his eyes. But it did not seem to be something that belonged to Xiao Bing.
