The Ethereal Domains

Chapter 1255: The Stateliness of the Monarch

The Stateliness of the Monarch . . .

Many people now started to think about Li Wuliang. The Fierce Blade Li Wuliang was known dead for years, who died even before Xiao Monarch. However, he showed up in front of everybody just like that. Didn't it make the reappearance of Xiao Monarch more acceptable?

However, all the people in black clothes didn't want to believe what was happening. If Cha Eun Xiao was still alive, the battle was going to end differently!

Therefore, everybody was staring at the sky.

What they saw was a sharp sword light flickering in the sky.

All the big trees in the area of a thousand meters got cut off and blown away to the same direction!

That sword light was apparently aiming at all the big trees on the ground which had blocked the view to the sky!

As the sword light came over, the trees were all gone. Not even a leaf was left behind.

On the ground, there were only tree trunks that were about the height of a man sticking in the floor silently.

The Dark Forest seemed to have been removed. Suddenly, the long-lost sunshine and the clouds appeared over everybody's head.

The incredible power of that sword strike made everybody on the ground take in a cold breath.

If the sword light had hit all the men in black clothes instead, at least thirty of them would have been chopped off immediately!

However, whoever made the sword strike didn't mean to attack those people, but to cut the trees!

What was it? Was it a threat? Or was it showing stateliness?

No matter what it was, that sword attack had been stamped deeply in their hearts, and none of them was going to forget it for the rest of their lives!

The sword attack contained bone-piercing cold wind and brisk coldness. It was like a strong whirlwind that came from the ancient ice land!

The next moment, a clear voice sounded in the sky, "Boss, I have made way for you."

All the men in black suits took in a cold breath out of fright. They couldn't believe what they had just heard. [Such a dominant cultivator was making such a world-shocking sword strike only to make way for his boss?]

[Then… How horribly powerful is his boss? Who is he? How could anybody have such privilege?]

[Isn't it too extravagant? Isn't it too high-sounding?]

A figure showed up in the sky after what was said.

The man was wearing an all-white attire that had a simple style.

His handsome face looked like an extremely exquisite piece of ice that had never melted for ten thousand years. He was standing in the air with such an imposing manner!

He just stood there and emitted a shining glow of the crystal cold ice which reflected the rays of the sun.

His clothes were white like snow; his sword was like frost; he was facing the wind, standing unswervingly!

He was the Frost Sword, the Unique in the World, Han Bingxue!

Han Bingxue didn't show himself with his real face though. He had just done some changes on the face. After all, Cha Nantian had seen him before in the Town of Cha.

He had made himself a most handsome and fashionable look.

He descended slowly to the floor with his sleeves fluttering in the air.

How handsome! How decent! How impressive! How incredible!

Those men in black clothes were watching him getting down slowly, while the three people—Li Wuliang, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han—were all full of anger at the moment!

[Han Bingxue, you bastard! Look at you!]

[We are dying here! Exhausted! Yet… You actually have such a good mood to make a narcissistic posture and put on such a stupid descending show…]

The three of them were trying so hard not to rush over, drag him down, and give him a beat-up.

They would probably focus on hitting him on the eyes, face, ears, nose, and mouth… It would be easier to make him look 'not so handsome' after all.

[Handsome, huh? Got addicted to being pretentious, didn't you?]

[Go on! Pretend you are the best, the most beautiful! When we punch you on the face, make you look like a pig head with raccoon eyes, broken nose, swollen ears, split lips, long jaw… I wonder whether you will still feel that you are handsome!]

As Han Bingxue slowly got down on the ground, another person quietly showed up in the sky, and then he got down on the ground, too, like a blow of breeze.

This man looked about thirty years old, had a slim body, square face, and cold eyes with deep eye frames shining with frosty lights.

He definitely wasn't any prettier than the Unique in the World, Han Bingxue, but his imposing manner was far beyond Han Bingxue's league.

When this man appeared from the sky, an oppressing power appeared with him!

The unrivaled king descended; the world should obey, or die!

He glanced over all the men in black suits and masks with an arrogant look in the eyes. With his hands behind his back, he casually walked over and blandly said, "One hundred and sixty-five men who don't have the balls to show themselves, none of you are leaving today!"

Everybody was shocked. Some of them suddenly exclaimed and screeched…

"Xiao Monarch! Cha Eun Xiao!"

"It is him! It is! This is true!"

"Why is he still alive?"

"No…"

All the people in black, no matter those from the two great sects or those who wanted to keep their identities hidden, felt that they had fallen into a nightmare.

[What the f*ck is this? What date is it today?]

When the people of the two sects set up the traps to get Yue Shuang and Yue Han, they were totally wrecked by the two sisters, and almost all died in the end. The latter group of people in black joined the battle and saved them and also pushed the two sisters to a deadly situation.

When they were about to win the battle, the Fierce Blade, Li Wuliang, who was known dead for a long time, reappeared to the world. He showed up with his domineering power, joined the battle, saved the two sisters from death, and took away the victory of the enemies. Other than that, Li Wuliang was actually much more horrible and powerful than what people had been told. His appearance caused a great loss for the men in black suits.

That wasn't the end.

Li Wuliang and the two ladies together still couldn't defeat the enemies. Besides, the three of them couldn't leave the battle as they wished because they had to protect the people behind them. The enemies would definitely win the fight as long as they kept on attacking!

However, when Li Wuliang and the two ladies were about to be exhausted, more powerful figures arrived. The Frost Sword, Han Bingxue, was the first, who had shown an incredibly dominant power through a sword attack. His appearance might be unexpected but understandable!

However, Xiao Monarch was back! People of the three factions had seen him die in a body-explosion, with his soul and body both getting destroyed! He should have been killed for sure!

[What the hell is going on?]

[That Monarch Token was shot over by Xiao Monarch himself for real!]

Li Wuliang was confirmed dead by people of the three factions too, but he died in the bottom of a cliff. Nobody had seen his body ever. It was reasonable that he survived down the cliff and got lucky to return with an even stronger power. There were some myths about somebody falling down the cliff who accidentally got some marvelous martial arts guidebooks. It only explained Li Wuliang's reappearance as his good luck! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

However, Xiao Monarch had been killed in some pretty miserable way back in the day. He had been hit by the joint attack of all the powerful cultivators of the three factions, and his body exploded into pieces. Even his soul was destroyed. That was totally an irreversible death! It was impossible to live again from that destruction!

The man who was known dead and impossible to return to life actually reappeared to the world! It was just like a ridiculous dream which actually happened in reality.

"Are you Cha Eun Xiao? Are you Xiao Monarch?" The leader of the Saint Sunlight Sect people, an elder, forgot to disguise himself and started to exclaim like he saw a ghost in the daytime, "Impossible! This is impossible! I saw you explode under the joint attack of our superior cultivators… I saw both your body and your soul die…"

Cha Eun Xiao blandly said, "Well, you were blind. I guess all of you were blind!"

That was an aggressive response.

All the others had nothing to say about it.

[If you were not blind, how come you couldn't even tell a living one from a dead one?]

"Brother!" Yue Shuang and Yue Han cheerfully shouted. They both had the same thought in the heart. [This is our brother's face. Look at him. I can recognize the little beggar from the old days from his face… Well, we have to admit that… brother's real face is far worse looking than the young lord Cha Eun Xiao!]

[It is like… one from the heavens, while the other from hell. There is no way to put the two together.]

The young man Cha Eun Xiao was genially a pretty young lord. However, Xiao Monarch was… too normal, although he was more like a tough man.

It was conservative and beautifying to use the word 'normal'. After all, Xiao Monarch's old yellow face honestly didn't look nice at all. He was tall and tough, but more like a big skeleton that was covered by a full set of human skin. He seemed big but also looked slim… It was unpleasant to watch.

The two ladies twisted their mouths…

[It is so lucky that brother became a handsome young man, Lord Cha … Otherwise, with this ugly face, he is never going to find himself a wife… I am curious what Jun Yinglian is thinking… Is her heart wrapped by pig oil? How could she love a man with that… admirable face…]

[Life is difficult for our dear sister-in-law… She must have really loved our brother…]

The mysterious people in black clothes looked at each other, and then their leader finally spoke, "Since Xiao Monarch showed up personally, we shall give this up now! Retreat!"

He waved a hand, and over a hundred men in black clothes and masks turned around together. They were obviously going to leave and prepare for some other plan.

The leader of these people had a pair of bright eyes.

To defeat Li Wuliang and the two ladies, they only needed to keep attacking and sacrifice less than thirty-five percent of their people because Li Wuliang and the two ladies couldn't leave the fight even just for a rest.

However, things were entirely different—Xiao Monarch appeared.

Xiao Monarch only came with one man, Frost Sword Han Bingxue. They were only two people, but the two of them together were even more powerful than Li Wuliang and the two ladies. Besides, Xiao Monarch and Han Bingxue both seemed to be more powerful than they used to be. Han Bingxue's first strike when he showed up was so incredible that none of the enemies, not even the leader, could duplicate it.

In other words, Han Bingxue, the Frost Sword, must also be at the super level which Li Wuliang had reached. If Xiao Monarch was even more powerful than Han Bingxue, it meant the men in black had lost their advantage in the battle. Although they had more people, they didn't have the power to guarantee the victory in the fight. The two great sects' people were useless at the moment.

What could be expected was that Xiao Monarch and the Fierce Blade would fight together and make domineering blasts… Yue Shuang and Yue Han made their unique attacks… Han Bingxue operated his unique martial art…

What a horrible force. The enemies had lots of people, but they would have to make some perfect cooperation to rival the five significant figures. In fact, they might not even win after sacrificing everyone.

If they got broken through from one or two weak points, all of them would be killed.

Things were not good for the men in black suits, so their leader decisively made the decision to retreat! It was indeed the best choice to make!

"Retreat?" Cha Eun Xiao looked at Cha Nantian, Li Wuliang, and the two ladies who were severely wounded. Fury soon ignited from the bottom of his heart!

[You hurt my sisters, hurt my parents, hurt my brother, and you came to take their lives. Are you telling me you are leaving now? Just like that? Who do you think I am?]

[Do you really think you can take advantage of everybody in the world?]

"Did I say you can go?" Cha Eun Xiao coldly smiled and spoke in a creepy voice.

"What… Xiao Monarch, do you want all my men to stay with you?"

The leader of those men sneered, "Xiao Monarch, Cha Eun Xiao. I know you are good at fighting. I know you have incredible power. We may lose the battle if we fight face to face. I know we will probably die if we insist on continuing the fight. However, I believe it is not a difficult thing for us to get away from this place. What do you think?"

"If you want us to stay, try it, Xiao Monarch." He continued in a wicked sound, "I don't know what exactly would happen… but I am sure about one thing. If my men fight regardless of their own lives, they will at least kill two of your people before we all die. I am pretty sure about it! Especially the four people you have been protecting—they are going to die with us! Definitely!"

"Well then, what should we do? I think you should better give it a conscientious second thought. Besides, when we show kindness to others, we will be shown kindness by others. Am I correct?" He went on. His voice was annoying, but he was telling the truth.

After Cha Eun Xiao and Han Bingxue appeared, things became different. However, Cha Eun Xiao's side wasn't in a sure-win situation.

In fact, if these men in black suits put up a desperate fight, although they would eventually die, they could still kill two or three people even while facing the joint force of Cha Eun Xiao, Li Wuliang, Han Bingxue, Yue Shuang, and Yue Han.

After all, they also made a potent force—everyone was a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator. Cha Eun Xiao could see that all those people in black were beyond Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian in cultivation. To fight against a group of over a hundred powerful people like that, the five of them were not strong enough stay free from harm!
