Battle Emperor - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Lightning Spirit Holy Sword

Despite the two not seeing each other often during the previous year due to thei training, the impact of child-slayingly-adorable Xiao Bai on Bing Wu was pretty significant.

Having not seen Bing Wu these days, Xie Ao Yu discovered Bing Wu became even more beautiful. Her originally long beautiful hair was cut into a neat bob. The space of her forehead appeared bold and brave appearing even more heroic. Her clothes were well adorned, and weren’t women’s clothing. Making her already developed steamed buns appear even more delicate.
[TL:Sorry about the somewhat trolling translation… it’s both what was put and this is the last line I translated]

A faint delicate scent blew swept across Xie Ao Yu fascinating him.

“We ate a cow together.” said Xie Ao Yu.

Laughing Bing Wu replied, “Ha, you only know how to brag. Do you think your stomachs can contain a whole cow?”

“I obviously can’t but he can.” Xie Ao Yu said while pointing to Xiao Bai who was just a dozen centimeters tall.

*Yiya!*

Xiao Bai proudly patted its stomach.

This action made Bing Wu laugh out loud. Grabbing Xiao Bai and pulling him into a hug, she said, “Are you able to fit a whole cow in this little tummy? I think even if it were even just the cow’s ear, you wouldn’t be able to finish it.”

Xie Ao Yu was depressed by this. He wanted to say they ate it, to pledge that Xiao Bei’s ability to eat is even more amazing that of a dragon. The brute-force demon bull was over 2 meters tall and yet most of it was eaten by Xiao Bai while he only ate a small portion. Furthermore, Xiao Bai’s tummy never grew large which left Xie Ao Yu perplexed.

*Yiya Yiya* Seeing Bing Wu not believing him, Xiao Bai immediately changed tact. He now acted like he was hungry because Xie Ao Yu wouldn’t even give him food.

Xie Ao Yu controlled his anger which almost went crazy.
[TL: No clue about the line above… 把个谢傲宇气的差点抓狂。]

“Alright, it just happens that there is a good restaurant in the eastern area of the city. Let’s go eat there.” Said Bing Wu smiling.

Flashing a quick glare at the gluttonous Xiao Bai, Xie Ao Yu said, “Bing Wu, How come you have time today? As far as I remember, in the past year, you’ve only had a chance to visit less than 10 times, and for no more than a quarter-hour before having to go.”

“It’s because I want to celebrate. Hehe.” Bing Wu said laughing. “Ao Yu. Did you know that in this last year, I managed to advance to upper Intermediate from lower Beginner. That’s 3 grades different. This is an even better record than that originally set by Uncle.
[TL:I think the author screwed up and meant upper beginner]

“Incredible!” Xie Ao Yu thought that the Butterfly Queen really was incredible.

Bing Wu spent 5-6 years to advance from lower Beginner to the upper Beginner rank, yet now she only took a year to get from upper Beginner to upper Intermediate. One should know that as the ranks get higher, the speed to advance slows down.

This speaks clearly about how amazing the Butterfly Queen You Lan Ruo is.

“Hehe. Master said my natural talents aren’t any less than hers and that winning the championship isn’t an impossibility.” Said Bing Wu excitedly. “Let me also tell you. Just yesterday, I even fought with a lower Advanced brute force demon bull! You wouldn’t know but we fought for over 3 hours before I lost! Pretty Awesome Huh? Even master said I’m gifted.”

Brute force demon bull?

Xie Ao Yu and Xiao Bai shared a glance. They had just eaten one.

And it was one that Xie Ao Yu easily killed.

“Gifted! Gifted!” Xie Ao Yu definitely could not say that he easily killed a brute force demon bull. It would definitely have an impact on Bing Wu. Let alone the topic of him being able to cultivate qi, which he has never told another person.

“Master also said that if I started receiving her instruction at the age of 7, I would have already reached the Ascension stage by now. She also has decided to dedicate herself wholly in my progression. I bet it’s to foster me into a second Butterfly Queen.” Said Bing Wu as she excitedly waved about her fists.
[TL: Beginner = 1st || Ascension = 5th]

Xie Ao Yu trollingly said, “So, can I be called the Butterfly Emperor?”

“Butterfly Emperor? There’s a Butterfly Emperor…Oh! Stinky Ao Yu! You’re making fun of me! Just see how I’ll set you straight.” Bing Wu then suddenly realized that the Emperor(King?) and Queen(Empress?) are a couple. Her heart started rapidly beating, and her face quickly turned red. Fearing Xie Ao Yu would see her she started moving about and made threatening gestures.

“Young Lady, you should sit tight and do nothing. Just let me kill him, ok?” An ice-cold voice was heard from ahead.

The two looked up and discovered that they had entered a secluded alley. The alley didn’t have a single pedestrian except for the 17-18 year old youth in front of them. In the youth’s hand was a shiny purple long sword. His bloodlust-filled eyes started at Xie Ao Yu.

This man had a familiar look. Xie Ao Yu cautiously asked, “Who are you?”

“Te Luo Si!” Replied the young man.

Xie Ao Yu and Bing Wu gasped at the same time.

“You’re one of the remnants from the Ao Te Si clans” Said Xie Ao Yu in an imposing manner.
[TL: I used remnant for 余孽… it has a negative connotation]

“Remnant?” Said Te Luo Si as his muscles on his face twitched. He gave Xie Ao Yu a dark glare and savagely said. “My clan Ao Te Si used to be one the 3 big clans in Langye city. It was your damned scoundrel of a father. He unexpectedly annihilated my clan. If it weren’t for the fact that I ran quickly, I would have long been dead. But now… Humph… your death deserving bastard of a father had been in a coma for the last 3 years. I will just kill you instead for the revenge of my clan.”

Xie Ao Yu sneered, “Really Funny. At that time your Ao Te Si family had thought my father had left and wouldn’t return. They had decided to take advantage of the situation and exterminate the Xie clan in one fell swoop. How could my father not exterminate your clan. Your family invited destruction. Don’t blame other people.”

“Don’t blame other people… Well said. Well said.” In Te Luo Si’s hand appeared a sword. [*] “Now if you Xie Ao Yu, this trash who can’t cultivate qi were to die by my hand… well… that also can’t be blamed on other people.” Smiling grimly he then said, “I’ll also tell you before you die. I didn’t just come here to kill you. I will also kill all the other younger generation kids of the Xie clan. I will completely exterminate you all. I’ve already killed 3 others. You will be the 4th. I will make the Xie clan pay for their actions. Hahaha…”
[TL: the [*] was 闪过一抹冷光.. which was talking about the sword flashing coldly?]

“Quickly run Ao Yu. I will block him.” Bing Wu suddenly advanced.

Originally Xie Ao Yu was already planning to attack, but the change in the situation caught him in a daze. He just realized that with regards to his ability to now produce qi, Bing Wu still didn’t know.

Not getting a chance to tell her, he heard Te Luo Si laugh grimly and started swinging his sword in a chop.

While the blade was being swung.

Where the sword swept past, a cold wind whistled past and despite the sun burning overhead, people could only feel a bone-chilling cold as if one fell into the nether world.

Bing Wu huffed and gracefully took out a dagger to block the attack.

*Kacha!*

The dagger was immediately broken in two.

“Careful!” Xie Ao Yu saw it clearly. Taking a hold of Bing Wu, he was able to avoid her getting a savage chop to her chest. This caused her to stagger and hit Xie Ao Yu’s chest but she was able to avoid the deathblow.

However where the sword brush past one could see a half meter deep recess in the ground.

Xie Ao Yu started at the sword in Te Luo Si’s hand and said, “That is your Ao Te Si clan’s holy weapon. The Lightning… Spirit… Holy… Sword.”
