Free Web NovelChapter 1321: Chapter 13 Fear Breeds Anger
When Liu Xiao pressed his palm down, he was simultaneously destroying Tian Anping’s flesh body and the "Four Seas".
Ending both his life and his path.
But the disappearance of the Inner Mansion was so terrifying that he almost missed it, how could Tian Anping’s head still exist after his palm pressed down?
Not until Tian Anping’s voice seeped through the gaps between his fingers.
He could even feel, during Tian Anping’s speech, that chilling breath skim over the pads of his fingers.
Only then did he snap to the realization that this person in front of him was not Tian Anping!
This was a cold body, not Tian Anping himself.
Or rather, it was even doubtful whether this was a body at all!
Inside the scope covered by Spiritual Sense, a God Descending Realm expert is like a deity arriving in the world. Yet today, he found himself questioning his own Spiritual Sense power!
Can I truly control this place?
Is what I perceive real or fake?
Where is the real Tian Anping?
And... freēwebnovel.com
What does "right in my mansion" mean?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed by.
Suddenly, a hand reached out, grabbing his wrist!
Regardless of whether this body was the real Tian Anping, now this body had stretched out its hand, grasping his wrist.
Just like a hoop of iron!
Describing a feeling that was cold and firm.
Vast strength surged, pulling his hand down and away from his face.
Liu Xiao could feel it, this was a pure, terrifyingly great physical strength.
So he met Tian Anping’s eyes.
Those were eyes filled with a touch of confusion.
Seeming to be puzzled about this world, about everything in front of him.
Tian Anping spoke, "Your madness today, is it to protect the Liu Family, or to cut away the fears within your heart?"
He looked at Liu Xiao, his voice not loud, but each word seemed to announce the truths of this world.
It was an exceedingly indifferent, exceedingly harsh... "reality".
"So many years have passed, and you haven’t made any progress,"
Tian Anping said so.
"Liu Xiao, you break the old agreement, intruding into a private home..."
His hair suddenly fluttered, and in his eyes, after the confusion was brushed away, was a mix of indifference and madness!
"I should kill you!"
"What a joke! Go to hell!"
Liu Xiao burst into rage.
Tongtian Palace, Inner Mansion, Outer Building, as well as the Enshrine Spirit Hall within the Star Sea! They all erupted simultaneously!
Path Origin, Divine Power Light, Star Power, the strength of the path, Divine Soul Strength...
The grand power belonging to a Godly cultivator, exploded without any reservation!
The hand that was pulled away snatched back with ease, and repressed against that face, the terrifying power exploded at this moment—
Boom!
The air let out a terrifying blast.
And the body he was pressing down, Tian Anping’s body, disappeared.
Vanished without a trace, leaving nothing behind.
Liu Xiao knew, he hadn’t killed anything.
Looking around, this two-story odd tower was completely empty.
This was a monotonous room without any adornment, void of other colors or decorations, revealing only the walls in a monotonous and dreary manner that could drive one insane. An average person probably couldn’t stay one day. What kind of a deranged person could sit in such a place for nearly a decade?
There was no time to ponder more, Liu Xiao had only one thought in his heart at this moment— freēwēbηovel.c૦m
He must not let Tian Anping escape!
He was willing to take a considerable risk, tearing up the agreement made back in Chang Ming County, boldly attacking Tian Anping in Ji City. If he succeeded, all would be well; if he failed, he couldn’t imagine how Tian Anping would deal with the Liu Family of Fufeng!
No matter how the Tian family retaliated, it would still be within the rules of the aristocratic families’ games, but Tian Anping as a person, would not be bound by any rules!
Even if he died, he would have no face to see that man who had picked him up from the roadside and was like a father and teacher to him.
Liu Xiao leapt out from that "wellhead".
What lies before my eyes——
are monotonous and tedious scenes.
Empty walls all around, skylights clear at a glance.
Devoid of any other color, not a sight of extra decoration.
Still, it is a Fubi Tower!
What is happening?
Liu Xiao is engulfed in immense bewilderment.
He refuses to admit that Tian Anping has seen through his innermost thoughts.
Back when Tian Anping was still in the Divine Arrival Realm, he was already stronger than Tian Anping. After Tian Anping’s Golden Frame and Jade Marrow were shattered and the four Saint Towers destroyed, he was even more formidable than Tian Anping by an unknown extent.
Yet deep in his heart, all these years, he has been living in fear of this very person!
The most talented individual he ever encountered was Liu Shentong.
He acknowledges that if both were in the Outer Building Environment, he would not be a match for Liu Shentong even combined with two others.
And yet, it was this same Liu Shentong, at the same realm, who was killed by Tian Anping.
With the strength of the God Descending Realm, he personally sought to kill him with force, yet in his presence, Tian Anping achieved God Arrives!
That feeling...
It’s like trying to step on an ant, which should be squashed with just one stomp. But no matter how you step on it, it won’t die, and that ant, right before your eyes, suddenly grows as tall as you.
It’s an indescribable despair.
The gap in talent between people is even greater than the distance between humans and ants.
And unfortunately, in terms of "talent," he is the ant looking up to humans!
He is indeed afraid!
Not being able to kill Tian Anping personally in Chang Ming County has become his nightmare.
Day and night, every moment, he is obsessed with the thought of killing Tian Anping!
So, what Tian Anping said was not wrong.
His visit to Ji City was for the Liu Family, but also for himself.
It was to repay the debt to the Liu Family and to rid himself of the fear within his heart.
If he cannot slay this nightmare, he, Liu Xiao, is but a cripple!
In nearly ten years, he indeed made no progress in cultivation!
With the pride of a Godly cultivator, he maintained his power in front of Tian Anping. Even though those eyes, filled with inquiry and bewilderment, seemed to see right through his heart.
But outside the Fubi Tower, why is it still a Fubi Tower?
Enveloping it with Spiritual Sense, yet not detecting the slightest anomaly!
Where exactly is this place?
Liu Xiao, with a casual pull, blending the Star Power and Divine Soul Strength of Path Origin, forged a curved-blade treasure knife. With a backhand slash, he cut through the illusion and reality, slitting open the tower wall, and lept out of it!
His gaze swept around.
Yet sees only walls, with a lone skylight.
Still, a Fubi Tower!
Forever monotonous, forever tedious, the never-changing Fubi Tower!
...
...
In Linzi City.
The grand ceremony finally draws to a close.
Jiang Wang wins the first prize, reported to The Imperial Ancestral Temple.
In some sense, this grand ceremony is Emperor Qi boasting to his ancestors about his achievements. Of course, it’s solemn and dignified.
The decree has been announced, the rewards accepted, the sacrificial texts burnt. As the Ritual Officer is about to declare the end of the ceremony, suddenly, atop the high platform where the nobles and officials stand, a commotion arises.
Marquis of Gaochang, Tian Xili, like a raging lion, roars furiously: "Liu Yingqi! Are you seeking the ruin of your surname?!"
He pushed through the surrounding nobles, approaching Baron Liu Yingqi with overwhelming fury.
"The Marquis must not!" "We can discuss whatever it is later."
The officials and nobles around tried to persuade him, but Tian Xili ignored them all.
"Don’t stop him!"
Liu Yingqi spread his arms wide, pushing people aside and stepped forward decisively: "Let’s see how he intends to destroy the Liu surname!"
A hereditary Marquis and a hereditary Baron, seemingly ready to engage in a full-blown brawl right at this grand ceremony!
