Chapter 273 Xiao Bing Got Into Trouble
It is said that breaking through the stage of Virtuality is the highest state that any human can ever reach, according to the legend. As rumor goes, two great childes in the Dark World had reached that state, and they were the ones at the peak of martial arts cultivation.
Legends were just legends, because so far, no one had ever reached the state of being immortal. Therefore, the existence of that state was still a mystery. Besides, seen from its literal meaning, being immortal would mean going beyond the limitations of human kind, and becoming God, which did not quite convince others.
But how could Gao Fei break through the stage of Virtality that only the two great childes in the legend, had reached.
Gao Fei looked at Lord Long and said calmly, “People always say that Mr. Long is the best master across the north three provinces; today I came to see whether it is really true.”
“It must be wrong, I know, I know.” Suddenly Lord Long realized something. He stared at Gao Fei, then shouted as he pointed at him, “You are the devil envoy that Mr. Buddha has always been looking for……”
Then Gao Fei strolled toward Lord Long, step by step, and continued, “Recently I have tested and confirmed constantly with Xiao Bing. Unexpectedly his varied experiences in martial arts helped me break to through the stage of Virtuality these last few days. Now you are giving me a chance to test how powerful this stage will be.”
While Gao Fei jumped to the ground, Lord Long had expanded his realm of mind. But as Gao Fei was approaching, his realm of mind was broken up bit by bit, and then he was found within another realm, which was controlled by Gao Fei.
As the stage of Virtuality was far beyond the stage of Gang Jin, Gao Fei was so powerful that Lord Long, though aggressive, found it impossible to win the fight. He began to retreat, which showed the collapse of his confidence. This was the first time that he had stepped back, in the past several years, but this step made him fall into a bottomless chasm.
“You failed, from time you began to step back, you totally failed and lost any possibility to win. No, I should say that you failed, the moment you rushed at me. You are not sure if you can beat me once and for all, so you did not stop your sworn brother, in the hope of sacrificing his life, to test my strength. For the sake of your prestige, you allow your nephew to be killed; for the sake of your interests, you allow your sworn brother to be killed. Do you know why you can’t break through the stage of Virtuality? Because you have too many desires. Even though you are highly talented, you have no obsession and ambition toward martial arts, which is why you will never reach that stage.”
Lord Long stepped back again, with sweat dripping down from his forehead. Never had he been as magisterial, and never was he that aggressive too, like he was now, in the face of Xiao Bing. No matter how powerful the master was, he would be like a stray cur in the face of death.
Lord Long began to beg for mercy: “Mr. Gao, if you let me go, I will make sure I pay the debt of gratitude. I have lots of money in my bank card……”
Looking at Lord Long, Gao Fei remained unmoved. He said, with a little bit disappointment: “If you have the guts to fight to the death instead of begging for mercy, I would not kill you. If you still remain as courageous and have the integrity, which would maybe help you break through the stage of Virtality one day, in that way I will have one more rival to fight with.”
His next words sentenced Lord Long to death, “However, you are begging, with no signs of courage and integrity. How could someone who cherishes life so much like you, break through that supreme state? What shall I keep you alive for?”
Lord Long said in disbelief, “You……you will really let me go if I could break through the stage of Virtality? Shouldn’t you kill me, in case?”
Gao Fei said quite calmly, “How is it possible for people like you to understand what I’m thinking about?”
Finally Lord Long stopped retreating. Gao Fei found that a cause to kill flashed across his eyes. There is a Chinese saying that a cornered beast will do something desperate, what more for Lord Long, hero of a time.
With his feet firmly on the ground, Lord Long began to manipulate all his strength so mightily that the earth began to tremble. The frightened servants from the villa rushed out, shouting. Houses started to collapse. Facing a rival who was more powerful than himself, he had only one chance. Only by focusing with all of his might to give a strike, would he have a chance to win.
This must be a strike that could break the rocks and shock the sky.
This must be a strike that could move the earth and shake the mountains.
The earth began to crack, and the villa collapsed completely. As Lord Long took one step forward, a powerful blast came at Gao Fei, making the earth beneath his feet crack about 1 meter wide and several meters deep. Gao Fei was right about the crack in the air. Facing the horrible blast and cannonball-like Gang Jin, he could easily give out a punch.
This punch looked understated, but it held the power that could almost move heaven and earth.
With this punch, the horrible blast dispersed immediately.
Also, Lord Long found his fists being reduced to ashes, then his arms, his shoulders, until every part of his body was reduced to ashes. At last he could see nothing, because even his head, his eyes, all of his body had been reduced to ashes.
Gao Fei jumped onto the ground. Looking at the air where Lord Long’s body had totally disappeared from the world, he murmured with a sharp flash in the eyes, “Is it the punch that broke the virtuality?”
After Lord Long vanished, Gao Fei raised his heads, looking over to the distance in the sky. It seemed as if a man was standing there, looking like a Buddha or devil, with a powerful and invincible air of prestige. The man was Mr. Buddha.
Then he moved to the house of Lord Long. As for Xiao Bing and Dumbass, they had already found the rivals they needed. The former would fight with Han Huabin, one of the best masters under Lord Long.
Not knowing the exact strength of Han Huabin, Xiao Bing only had the information that he was above the middle stage of Dan Jin at least, which meant he was more powerful than Xiao Bing.
If Xiao Bing reached the early middle stage of Dan Jin, he would had a 30% chance to win. But now he had reached the later middle stage that would mean that he had a 40% of chance of winning.
If Han Huabin had just reached the top stage of Dan Jin, Xiao Bing was sure to remain invincible depending on his sophisticated fighting experience, which would keep him alive at least, even if he could not win.
Han Huabin, over 60 years now, was living in a thatched cottage, near the river. His favorite hobby was fishing. Xiao Bing walked to the front of his cottage, and was about to move forward, when the door of the cottage opened suddenly. An old man, hunched, thin, and white-haired, came to the door, with the help of a stick.
Xiao Bing intended to retreat the moment the old man appeared, but found that he himself had somehow stepped into the realm of mind, manipulated by his rival. It was impossible for him to retreat, only to fight to live, or for death.
He narrowed his eyes, and said with a bitter smile, “I did not expect that you have reached beyond the stage of Dan Jin.”
Han Huabin staggered closer to him, and Xiao Bing could feel a horrible sense of oppression approaching him.
Looking at him, Han Huabin smiled secretly and in a weird way, said “You must be curious why this old man has reached a higher stage than you……actually Lord Long will never have such great achievements, until he has a teacher who has reached the stage of Gang Jin.”
“Lord Long’s teacher?”
With a bitter smile, Xiao Bing touched his own nose and said, “What a surprise that Lord Long has a teacher.”
Han Huabin chuckled, “Didn’t you have a teacher?” “So how did you reach such a high stage without any teachers? You are so talented at martial arts that you are able to reach the stage of Dan Jin at such a young age.”
Helplessly, Xiao Bing tried to make a request, “Now that I know you are Lord Long’s teacher, I am sure you will be the victor, so can I go back first?”
He turned around and was about to escape, but Han Huabin answered with a smile: “Do you think that you have a chance to leave here?”
Xiao Bing stopped immediately, turned around again, and shook his head carefully, “I think there is zero chance.”
Han Huabin asked, “So do you want to go now?”
“Negative.”
He smiled again, “Since you don’t want to go away, what are you going to do then?”
Xiao Bing stared at the old man, with dazed eyes, while the old man also stared at him carefully. All of a sudden, he pointed to the sky above Han’s head and shouted, “Look, UFO!”
Han Huabin immediately raised his head to look at the sky.
Unexpectedly, he was taken in?
Xiao Bing prepared to take the chance to do a sneak attack on him. As he took a step forward, a weird smile appeared on Han Huabin’s face. He shot a little stone, but at the ground beside Xiao Bing, instead of at him. The stone hit another stone, and then another stone was hit by a stone nearby.
It was like a chain reaction and, in Xiao Bing’s eyes, it was as if numerous chess pieces exchanged their original places by hitting each other, with these changes, Xiao Bing found the scene around him had completely changed.
Originally he was standing on the ground near the cottage, but now he was in a forest with numerous towering trees around him.
Xiao Bing was stupefied. What the hell was that? Magic of changing positions?
At this moment, the enigmatic voice of Han Huabin, came to him, “This is a new matrix I have figured out in these past two years. It is called ‘The Sigh of Nature’. As you know, I am too old, so too with all parts of my body. So a simple way is always better than a brute force, to solve the problem. “The only way to get out of my matrix is to break it through using a powerful force by people who have reached the top stage of Gang Jin, or you will be trapped in it forever. Certainly you won’t be trapped for all your life, because if you can’t get out of it within three days and nights, your mind will be trapped in the illusion, and will never be free. After that even if you are saved by someone, you will become an idiot.”
“You have only three days, after that you will definitely be dead.”
“Alas.” Unexpectedly Xiao Bing sat down with his legs crossed, and sighed bitterly, “This time I have learned something new, and suffering a terrible setback.”
