After Lil Bei missed his target, he leaned on a giant tree, but barely, because one of his legs was broken .
He looked at this man in disbelief . He thought he had the perfect timing, when his foe believed that he could choke him to death . That was the moment when Tulay was less vigilant .
Lil Bei had not expected that this perfect timing, the one he had been waiting for so long, failed him . Was it because of the difference in their strength?
Tulay’s facial expression was the same the whole time . He stared at Lil Bei and said, “You must be wondering how I knew that you would strike me that moment . ”
Lil Bei grinned, “I’m really curious . So can you tell me?”
“You’re still smiling . I’m surprised . Since you want to know the reason, I will tell you,” Tulay said in a low voice, “I’ve killed too many people since my childhood and I’ve seen the ugliness in humans . I know what a person will do when he knows that he will die soon . You’re a tough guy . Men like you would never wait to be killed . Then there was only one possibility–that was you would try to kill me when I slacked off . ”
Lil Bei sighed, “You are a discerning man . ”
“Of course . A drowning man would try any means to grab at a single straw, even though he knows it’s impossible for him to survive . It’s a human’s basic instinct of survival…”
Before Tulay finished speaking, he suddenly gasped, because Lil Bei moved . Though his footing was unsteady, he rushed towards Tulay . Tulay thought Lil Bei would be running from him, not keep fighting him . And Tulay had decided to give his opponent a quick death . But he had not expected Lil Bei to lunge at him again .
Could it be his scheme?
Tulay took two steps back and dodged Lil Bei’s first two strikes . But Lil Bei kept attacking as if he didn’t care about his life anymore . This was what Tulay never expected .
Finally, Tulay moved . No matter how hard Lil Bei tried, he was still one level away from his foe . Plus he was seriously wounded . Tulay nullified Lil Bei strike instantly, then he sent Lil Bei hurtling backwards .
Tulay moved again, vanishing from where he just stood . Then he appeared behind Lil Bei, his palm aiming for the back of Lil Bei’s head .
He calculated that Lil Bei would fall to the ground, roll sideways and parry his attack . But in the meantime, Lil Bei would have no chance to fight back . Tulay believed that he could kill Lil Bei within three moves .
However, what happened next astonished Tulay again . Lil Bei did not choose to parry . Instead, he turned around and let Tulay’s palm hit on his chest, which almost sank because of the impact . But Lil Bei grabbed Tulay and held him like a python with his hands and legs . Neither his hands nor legs could deliver a strike . But he opened his mouth and bit his foe’s neck, with all his strength . His teeth ripped flesh apart from Tulay’s neck . Blood began gushing out from his throat .
Tulay flailed his hands with his eyes wide open, trying to pull Lil Bei away from him . But no matter how hard he tried, he could not .
“H… How?”
Tulay still looked emotionless as blood gushed out from his throat . There was no fear in his eyes, not even panic .
Knowing that Tulay would die soon, Lil Bei loosened his grasp, then Tulay’s body slumped on the ground .
Tulay covered his neck with his hands while looking at Lil Bei, expecting an answer .
Lil Bei’s voice was faint . He had taken numerous crazy blows before and Tulay’s last palm attack nearly shattered his heart and veins . Though he survived, he was seriously injured .
Smiling, Lil Bei said faintly, “I surmised that you wouldn’t think I would turn around and fight back . Because if I turned around, I would most likely be killed . You have seen many kinds of people, most of which will try any means to survive . They all fear death . It’s reasonable because it’s human nature . ”
“That’s why I suddenly turned around to fight . You would never have guessed that because I will most probably die . ”
“You must be wondering why I chose to put my life at risk . Am I not afraid of death? Of course I am . But there are things more important than life, like my promise to my captain . White Hair hurt him, so I swore to him that I’ll vent my anger for White Hair on the opponent I’m about to fight . I will make him die a painful death . ”
“To achieve that promise, I will do anything, even if it costs me my life!”
Tulay struggled to shake his head . Finally he spoke, “I’ve never met anyone like you . ” Then, he could not hold back the blood in the throat . It erupted from his throat . Finally he fell on the ground, his body shaking, his eyes becoming lackluster . But the calmness on his face remained even in death .
He was indeed not an ordinary man . If Lil Bei had not killed him, he was destined to become someone more formidable .
Lil Bei suddenly wondered why this man never knew fear even till the very end .
Maybe because he had killed too many people . The cruelty he learned in Africa made him realize that sooner or later he will die . So why not spill more blood before that time came?
But it was merely his assumption . He did not know what Tulay thought on that matter .
Meanwhile Gao Fei was standing in front of White Hair .
White Hair asked, “Who will win, in your opinion?”
Gao Fei replied calmly, “A small difference can invert the situation . So I can’t guess . ”
“Right, that’s not our concern . The real battle here lies between you and me . If I died, you can easily kill my two companions, given your superior strength . But if you died, no doubt your friends will be killed by me . Hence, it seems that their fate is in our hands . ”
“Oh, right,” White Hair grinned, “Lord Envoy, I have always wondered how strong you are because Mr . Buddha always spoke highly of you . I never expected to have the chance to test your strength so soon . ”
“But he still underestimated me, otherwise he would not have sent only you . ”
White Hair was taken aback for a moment, then he guffawed, “You mean I’m not your match? Do you know who I am? I’m one of the Eight Buddhist Generals!”
“I know . ” Gao Fei said calmly .
White Hair laughed insanely, “Good . Then I must have a clearer understanding of the power of the demon’s envoy!”
“Understanding? That’s unnecessary,” Gao Fei said calmly, “Just go to hell . ”
Gao Fei moved, leaving his afterimages along the track . He suddenly appeared in front of White Hair, his fingers arched like a claw, aiming for White Hair’s chest . However, when his hand was a dozen centimeters away from his foe, it hit on a solid shield projected by White Hair’s Gang-strength .
White Hair gave a sinister smile, “I’m not that easy to kill . ” But soon the smile on his face curdled . Gao Fei’s palm penetrated the shield that surrounded his foe, like cutting a piece of tofu . Then his palm hit White Hair’s body .
The blow sent White Hair hurtling backward and tumbling to the ground in spite of mastering the Refinement of Steel Body . He spat a mouthful of blood . He looked up, his eyes wide as he propped himself up on his elbows .
Gao Fei looked at his palm dissatisfied . “No wonder you have been focusing on exterior martial arts . You have moderate success in the refinement of your physical body . Normal people can’t possibly do any harm to you, let alone kill you . ”
White Hair picked himself up, wiped the corner of his mouth as if the wounds were nothing to him . Yet his eyes were vigilant when he looked at Gao Fei now . “You are stronger than me?” He asked in disbelief .
“Yes . ” Gao Fei answered placidly, “You’re at the middle stage of Gang-strength . It’s not easy to achieve . ”
“What about you?” White Hair asked .
“The pinnacle of Gang-strength . ”
Gao Fei indeed had reached the pinnacle of Gang-strength, the same level as Lord Long .
White Hair looked at Gao Fei in great disbelief . Allegedly there were only two people on earth who were beyond the level of Gang-strength: one was Mr . Buddha, the other was Mr . Dragon, who were the two Masters of the Dark World . Gao Fei had reached the pinnacle of Gang-strength, which meant that he was the mightiest martial artist in this world, except for the two Masters .
This meant he had reached the Transforming Realm .
White Hair suddenly patted his chest and stared at Gao Fei with vicious eyes, “Make or break . One of us will die today . ”
Gao Fei grunted . There was a hint of sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth .
Right after White Hair finished speaking, Gao Fei suddenly disappeared again . When he reappeared, his hands were grabbing White Hair by his arms and slamming him to the ground again and again, with great force .
White Hair’s body was nearly as hard as steel . Gao Fei felt like he was hitting a giant piece of iron . The scene seemed terrifying, but actually White Hair was almost unharmed .
Being slammed on the ground, again and again, White Hair felt dizzy because of the pain all over his body . He was about to faint, though his body was hard as steel .
When Gao Fei lifted his foe again, he decided not to slam White Hair on the ground again . Instead, he loosened his grasp and kicked his foes in his left chest . White Hair opened his eyes wide as he howled out of the pain . Then he slumped on the ground .
