Chapter 273 Xiao Bing Got Into Trouble (1/2)
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.
