The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 975: Ready to Kill!

Ready to Kill! . . .

Xuan Bing narrowed her eyes as she scrutinized Han Bingxue and retorted, "Oh? What exactly have you accomplished? You haven\'t done much at all. How can you be so sure you can\'t handle them? Why don\'t you take the initiative and confront them first? If you fail or perish, I will intervene, potentially seeking retribution on your behalf. No gratitude is required; we are travel companions, and that\'s what I should do."

"I may not assist you in this situation, but I can certainly avenge you. There\'s no issue with that."

Han Bingxue was taken aback, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

[What... What is happening?]

[This is not my plan... This is the opposite of my intentions...]

[Did I... perhaps take the jokes too far...?]

Xuan Bing observed him, his body drenched in sweat.

[I\'m finished... This is the end...]

Xuan Bing was not Bing\'er, the innocent girl who had lost her memory. She was a seasoned cultivator with a long history in the martial world. Perhaps she acted a bit naively when dealing with Cha Eun Xiao, but aside from that, she was a typical experienced elder cultivator. She was fully aware of Han Bingxue\'s ploy, and it could never deceive her.

[He\'s been orchestrating this to draw the attention of those men towards me. What he wants is to stand by and watch me fight them. Doesn\'t he believe that I should fight for his entertainment?]

[Do you believe you can watch whatever you desire?]

[Well, you might have a chance, but it won\'t come cheap. Perhaps your wretched life is an adequate exchange!]

Han Bingxue was utterly baffled.

When those men witnessed the usually arrogant Han Bingxue seeking help from the woman, they were bewildered. [What\'s going on? Have we provoked the wrong woman?]

[However, she doesn\'t appear to be a powerful cultivator.]

Then they saw the lady respond to Han Bingxue. Afterward, Han Bingxue appeared frustrated, while they grew more spirited. [Oh, indeed? Is there such a formidable woman in the world?]

[Of course, there are some, but they are a rarity.]

[Jun Yinglian is one of the women who would stand with Han Bingxue. Yet she should be dressed in white, mourning for Cha Eun Xiao. This woman isn\'t Jun Yinglian. Jun Yinglian is formidable, but she should be roughly as powerful as Han Bingxue. She couldn\'t help him defeat us!]

[She isn\'t Jun Yinglian. She couldn\'t be one of the Prime Masters of the other two great palaces.]

[Well, she could be Xuan Bing, the Great Elder of Misty Cloud Palace, the most formidable woman in the world. She\'s an unstoppable force... but she should be in the south, confronting Xue Danru.]

[This woman can\'t be Xuan Bing...]

[Who else could she be? Well... she\'s someone we don\'t need to fear!]

"What\'s this about?" the middle-aged man couldn\'t help but sneer. He appeared handsome but had a vulgar and malicious tongue. "Han Bingxue, what\'s going on? You know you\'re doomed, right? Is that why you\'re trying to take a final sip from the woman\'s bosom? Did she reject you just now? Hahahahaha..."

All nineteen of them erupted into cheeky laughter.

In their eyes, Han Bingxue was like a bird in a cage, a fish in a pond, or a morsel of food on their plate. They could do whatever they pleased with him!

They felt entirely at ease, free to act without restraint.

At that moment, they were utterly shameless and unafraid.

However, when Han Bingxue heard those taunts, he longed to strangle the middle-aged man.

[Well done! That was the perfect timing, my friend!]

[While it irks me to hear it, I would rather have you voice it aloud...]

[You\'ve just gone and disgraced Xuan Bing\'s purity...]

[What\'s truly dreadful isn\'t a formidable foe, but having an idiotic ally. Their foolish ally has just done something to make me a significant figure!]

Han Bingxue pretended to be furious. "Shut up! Is Saint Sunlight Sect renowned for dishonoring innocent women? Is this your tradition? Do you..."

"Enough. Be silent!" Xuan Bing stepped forward.

Her frigid gaze penetrated the hat as she stared down the man who had recently insulted her.

At that moment, she was on the verge of exploding in anger.

Even though she was aware that Han Bingxue was using her, she was eager to take action this time.

Because... Cha Eun Xiao... her master...

He was present as well.

He needed her assistance.

[Although he doesn\'t know who I am, I know who he is to me.]

In truth, since laying eyes on Cha Eun Xiao, she felt that her once-isolated heart had finally found a place to settle.

Her heart had at last found its home.

That was why she had a change of heart, canceling her meeting with Xue Danru and crafting a flimsy excuse to remain by Cha Eun Xiao\'s side.

She wasn\'t sure of her intentions, but she found contentment just being with him.

Except for... the discussions regarding the consequences of her martial art\'s reverse impact and the unique interaction method made her feel embarrassed and irritated.

Her heart was filled with frustration and annoyance, yet she couldn\'t voice her sentiments. It was eating away at her.

Now, the men from Saint Sunlight Sect were practically inviting trouble, and it felt as if a pillow had fallen from the sky when she was weary.

They were perfect sparring partners for her! She wouldn\'t let them off the hook!

Furthermore, they had severely insulted her.

[It\'s one thing if they merely humiliated Han Bingxue. They actually insulted me. And what infuriates me the most is that they called Master a foolish son! They have sealed their own death warrants!]

[They deserve to die!]

Xuan Bing was ready to take action!

"You! Come here!" She stared at the middle-aged man and beckoned him over with a slow, cold wave of her hand. Her eyes were frigid, and her tone was detached, yet it held an irresistible force.

The middle-aged man was taken aback and then smirked maliciously. "Oh? Me? What\'s the matter, lascivious maid? Do you fancy me? Hahaha... Do you think we\'ll spare you if I agree?"

His words were extremely lewd.

Xuan Bing nodded and stated blandly, "Oh, certainly... I do... I like... your head!"

Suddenly, she extended her hand. A dark cloud abruptly appeared and expanded, rolling so swiftly that within seconds, the entire area was cloaked in darkness. The men couldn\'t even see their own hands in the obscurity. All at once, thunderclaps reverberated throughout the sky.
