Battle Emperor - Chapter 72

Ziyan went into seclusion.

She took the scroll, along with all the goods that she needs inside the cave. The cave has a characteristic. No one would be able to see the existence of the cave from the outside. As for those deadly poisonous remedies that the heretic expert Batulu has been developed, Xie Aoyu also left for Ziyan . After all, those things are useless to him. Ziyan takes the compounded remedies, even if it is poisonous, to her it would also be very helpful, as it would benefit her enormously in terms of improving her ability in the field of alchemy.

The idle Xie Aoyu also began to practice.

All days self tortures, as he looked forward to the early break into another level of spirit realm.

While Xiao Bai also busy with its own affairs.

After Xie Aoyu and Ziyan isolate themselves to practice, Xiao Bai then had reached the top of the mountain Tian Jie. It stares at the boundless forest mountain, and sighed with emotion: “Ten thousand years have gone by , I never thought that I’d arrived here again , unexpectedly after more than 10,000 years, old friends , are you okay ? “

Its body turns into white light and flew speedily into the deepest part of the Hengduan mountains range.

Time passed. 

Four days later, Xie Aoyu comes out from his seclusion.

He easily broke through, reaches the intermediate realm of the spirit level. For him, this is naturally bound to happen, and he could not care less. After all his goal is the Emperor class, he never thought about the possibility of him would ever having difficulties on this early stage.

“It has been only four days; sister should be in seclusion more or less than 50 days, so I should going out to gain experience and also to inquire more information.” Xie Aoyu then looked towards the place where Ziyan has isolated herself, tidied up slightly, and after a while, he came down from the top of the Jie Tian Mountain.

As for Xiao Bai, it has returned to its lovable, cute appearance, and stays in Xie Aoyu’s side.

A man and a beast, come down from the mountaintop of Jie Tian Mountain, looking for the evil spirit beast, to have a fiercely battle with. Xie Aoyu understands that in order to progress more quickly, he must fight constantly.

His goal are these evil spirit beasts.

Jie Tian Mountain was located in an area that is not too deep within the Hengduan mountains range. This place was located in the middle of the Hengduan mountains range. Evil spirit beasts within the Ascension-level realm seem to be very common, while occasionally they will also have the opportunity to encounter Cloud- level beasts.

However, most of the evil spirit beasts here are Spirit-level realm.

Therefore, this is the most appropriate training for Spirit-level realm expert like Xie Aoyu to gain experience.

For ten or more days, Xie Aoyu felt that his progress has been very good.

“Xiao Bai , next time you come across with the Cloud – level evil spirit beast , you should notify me in advance , since you know that I am just a Spirit – level realm , and still not be able to cope with a Cloud – level realm evil spirit beast . If somehow they manage to get near to me within ten meters, I would be done for. ” Xie Aoyu has just escaped from the Cloud – level beast , still have the lingering fear .

 “Yiya!”Xiao Bai indicated that it understands.

Xie Aoyu said with a smile: “But I must say , that this Cloud – level evil spirit beast , even if we met it by accident , the feeling was really stimulating , unfortunately the gap between us and the beast was too big , so we’re still not able to fight with them for much longer time even if we use all of our might.”

Previously he has several times encountered with Ascension – level evil spirit beast, and fought with them. Although failed to gained the upper hand , but also with the assistance of Earth Escaping Technique and couple with several powerful fighting skills , managed to make those evil spirit beast suffered severe injuries .All the Ascension- lower level evil spirit beast were freaking out before they escaped.

As for the Ascension- intermediate level and above evil spirit beast, Xie Aoyu would be more careful, as he does not have the courage to approach.

He still does not want to squander his life.

As for the Spirit – level realm evil spirit beast, even if it is in the Spirit – superior level, Xie Aoyu still confident of being able to beat it, and turn it into a dish. 

“Yiya, yiya ……” Xiao Bai felt its belly and shout.

Xie Aoyu looks away, “Xiao Bai, your appetite is really something! ” He found that although the size of the Xiao Bai was small, but it has a very big appetite. In fact, it is no less than some large scale evil spirit beast. He even suspected that Xiao Bai actually has been cursed by someone and was forced to transformed into a small little beast, ” Let’s keep going, this time we will look for an evil spirit bear, definitely enough for you to eat.”

Xiao Bai jumped in excitement.

As an evil spirit beast, it has unexceptional instinct in detecting the presence of another evil spirit beast. They kept walking and walking; Xiao Bai then suddenly stopped, raised his nose and sniffed it several times, then ran towards the southwest direction.

Xie Aoyu responded by pulled out the Holy Spirit sword, and trailed closely from behind.

In a strange place where the risk of danger is everywhere, he grasped his Holy Spirit Sword closely, and stays on guard in case if something bad happens.

“Roar!”

A beastly roar transmits from the front.

Followed up is a human voice screaming, and then the sound of a fierce battle are taking place.

Xie Aoyu immediately went towards the sound, and then he climbed and stood on a tree. He looked into a direction, and only to see a violence Spirit-level Earth Storm Bear surrounded by a group of people.

That Earth Storm Bear was definitely not weak, it has the strength of lower level Spirit-realm. But, the experts of the siege group are also lower-level Spirit realm, coupled with the advantages in terms of their number of 13-14 people, they teamed up to attack the Earth Storm Bear who already beginning to weaken and simply unable to put out a fight.

“Bing Wu?!” Xie Aoyu saw a familiar face among the people in the group, armed with a short knife , and occasionally , barges in and strikes to kill.

It has been several months since he parted ways with Bing Wu.

With fatal stabs from the lower level Spirit-realm expert’s sword , the Earth Storm Bear finally killed. Each person in the group was very excited , as that man proudly stepped on the bear ‘s corpse and show off his mightiness.

Xie Aoyu ignore the others, only concentrate on the girl named Wu Bing . He who was once unable to cultivate any qi , always received help from this beautiful girl

His memory returned to the Langya City.

After being apart for several months and was finally able to reunite with Bing Wu, somewhat it managed to make him feel very excited.

“Bing Wu!”Xie Aoyu immediately calmed down, and then shouted.

That group of people including Bing Wu was busy discussing how to deal with the Earth Storm Beast’s corpse, but when she heard the voice; she turned to look, and suddenly her eyes turn moist, “Aoyu!”

Both of their eyes met, and for a while, they become speechless.

After some time, Xie Aoyu walked over and put his hand out gently, correcting Bing Wu‘s dishevelled hair as been blown by the wind and flipped it behind her ears , then softly said:”Missed me?”

“Um.”Bing Wu blushing red, but still biting her lip, gently nodded.

Xie Aoyu said: “Me too.”

The words maybe not much but enough to show how deep their feelings are.

Their hearts once again feel so close.

It was different when he with Ziyan. With her, Xie Aoyu felt a gap. Perhaps he felt a slightly inferior, as he merely a budding teenager, but Ziyan? She already is the peerless beauty known throughout the continent. As a sage expert level, she is the most promising prospect to reach the Emperor realm. She is also a master in refining medicines.

But Bing Wu is different.

The two have been childhood sweethearts, the innocence from the childhood, and somehow there is no gap between them. What is most important is, if in the past, Bing Wu was the one who protected him , but this time, it is his turn to protect her, like a man.

Nevertheless, this is the duty of a gentleman.

“Cough!”

While those two were in the middle of exchanging their deep affection for each other, however there are others who deliberately coughed loudly.

Xie Aoyu furrowed his eyebrows; apparently someone did not have eyes.

“Aoyu , let me introduce you . ” Bing Wu’s face were flushing red, but still, she was not someone who would care about what others will think, she reached out Xie Aoyu ‘s right hand and hold it, ” My fellow schoolmates, he is my… “

“Her future husband…Xie Aoyu!”Xie Aoyu cut her words.

“What?”

“Future husband? What’s all this about?”

“Yeah, since when Bing Wu has a man, what is this boy up to?”

The schoolmates of Bing Wu exploded immediately.

Many who have unrequited love towards Bing Wu, especially the lower-level Spirit expert who had killed the Earth Storm Bear, his face became twisted immediately. His eyes glanced at Bing Wu, only to discover that the latter did not refute at all. Anger began to surges from the bottom of his heart.

Bing Wu also did not think that Xie Aoyu would say something like that.

While their hearts are mutual, they never pierce that layer of windows paper. With his current confession, apart from being shy, and excluding the nervousness, the truth is she feels very happy. 

(T/N: never pierce that layer of windows paper means they never admit their feelings before)

“Bing Wu’s schoolmate, Li Chaofeng.” That lower Spirit- level expert, who first came forward, introduced himself.

Xie Aoyu smiled, said: “You have successfully killed the Earth Storm Bear with that sword; your future development should be good.”

Xie Aoyu just simply said with no meaning behind it, but when it reached Li Chaofeng’s ear, it sounded so wrong.

He was not some old generation to teach him, who does he think he is? Li Chaofeng’s face darkens.

“Sire, for you to said so, your strength must be extraordinary, how about we change pointers?”Li Chaofeng throws a challenge. Everyone has long known that he pursue Bing Wu, so when he issued the challenge, everyone thoughts it was normal.

Spirit-realm lower level, this is no fun at all.

Xie Aoyu is someone who has been able to compete even with the lower level Ascension-realm, so it is natural for him to not have a shred of interest in this challenge. He shrugged, and said with a smile: “Not interested.”
