Chapter 276 Han Huabin, the Best of the Bes (2/2)

Xiao Bing had never met his equal since he was on this path. After his power was sealed by Zhang Yizhi, Xiao Bing met many enemies who were more powerful than him. Xiao Bing could not even deliver a single blow when fighting with them.

But it was mostly because Xiao Bing was inferior to them in terms of physical strength. For instance, when he was fighting Lord Long, he was only at the Transforming-strength stage while Lord Long was at the pinnacle of Gang-strength, which already made him the most powerful being in the world. Hence, no matter how intriguing Xiao Bing’s movements were, he was like a five-year-old child fighting an adult. It was impossible for him to win.

It was still impossible for Xiao Bing to defeat Lord Long even now. The gap between the middle stage of Elixir-strength and the pinnacle of Gang-strength was like that between a child and an adult. The gap could not be narrowed by the subtlety of the movements.

Though Xiao Bing had met enemies whom he could not defeat, it was mainly because of the difference of their strength. But when it came to the comprehension of martial arts, Xiao Bing believed that no one could exceed him on that matter. Because if one was at the level of Elixir-strength, it was nearly impossible for his comprehension of martial arts to be the same as that of a Master of Gang-strength. The advancements of levels were not only about the increase in strength, but they were also the elevation of comprehension and outlook.

Likewise, the comprehension of the masters of the Gang-strength stage could not compare with that of Void-breaking-level masters.

Hence, though Xiao Bing’s power was sealed, his comprehension of martial arts remained, since he once was at the level of Void-breaking.

But now, what surprised Xiao Bing was that this old man was superior to him in both terms of strength and comprehension of martial arts.

Han Huabin seemed to be a top master who had been living a reclusive life. His movements were light and seemingly desultory. His cane kept blocking Xiao Bing’s way of retreating. If he had been more serious, Xiao Bing would have been knocked down a long time ago.

Even though Han Huabin’s blows seemed desultory, Xiao Bing had to spare no effort in trying to not be defeated. But he was already soaked in sweat. He had spent most of his mental energy when he was trapped in his illusions. And now his physical strength was being consumed. It seemed that Xiao Bing’s failure was certain.

He would definitely lose.

The men Xiao Bing had sent out had all accomplished their missions. They gathered in a mansion. Lord Long’s house was circled by the Black Crow Army.

Upon hearing that Xiao Bing went to confront Han Huabin himself, Zhang Jinku’s face turned eery. He asked tentatively, “If Xiao Bing died, who would be our next boss?”

Dumbass seemed about to scold him out of anger. But Gao Fei suddenly stopped Dumbass. He looked at Zhang Jinku and asked, “What do you mean by saying that? How powerful is that Han Huabin.”

“I don’t know.” Zhang Jinku shook his head and said, “But Lord Long once told me that that old man is the only man he is afraid of in this world. But lucky for him, that old man is under his control, but he is still very wary of him. You know Lord Long is an arrogant man who always believes that he’s the mightiest man on earth. Yet he’s afraid of that old man. So, can you tell me if this old man is dreadful or not?”

After hearing that, Dumbass and Zhan Hongyan said impulsively, “Brother Bing needs our help.”

“You all can just stay here. I’ll go.”

None of them, including Wuya, were stronger than Gao Fei. They all fell silent upon hearing that Gao Fei wished to go. Gao Fei trotted out of the mansion while hoping that Xiao Bing would be fine. He still remembered how Xiao Bing wished to make Jiang City a peaceful place in the north to protect them from Mr. Buddha.

Gao Fei, who had always been a placid man, found that there was another person he was worried about besides Maggie. During the time he was working in the noddle house, he became concerned about everyone in this noodle house. It was something never happened to him before.

He was the Demon’s Envoy, which meant that he was no ordinary man. Anyone who had heard his name all regarded him as a devil and a dreadful sword that had no human emotion.

But Gao Fei knew that it was not true. If he was as ruthless as they said, he would not have helped Maggie escape, stayed in Jiang City, or come to Xiao Bing’s aid now.

“Xiao Bing, you must hold on until I get there.”

Gao Fei was as fast as the wind. His eyes gleamed red like the crimson light in Xiao Bing’s eyes every time he lost consciousness. But Xiao Bing’s were as red as blood.

At that moment, Xiao Bing felt that he was in a very intriguing state of mind. He forgot about life and death, the difference of their strength, and this crucial fight he was caught in. He felt like he was playing chess, trying to avoid every blow his enemy was delivering. He enjoyed it a lot.
