Chapter 404: Somebody tell me what the fuck is going on!

Bang!

The stomp was so powerful that Xiao Ming's head went inside the ground!

Ye Tian Yun then gripped Xiao Ming's collar. Taking him out of the ground, he raised him in mid-air.

"Powerless and Pathetic. That is what you are, Xiao Ming." Ye Tian Yun smirked at him.

Xiao Ming, now with no sense of what was happening and a sharp head injury, groggily opened his eyes, and with all his strength, he somehow managed to utter the only thought in his mind.

"Why… why did… Why did you kill.. her?"

Ye Tian Yun simply shrugged in his reply, "She was a nuisance."

Xiao Ming was angered.

However, his reaction only amused Ye Tian Yun.

With a smirk, he threw Xiao Ming on the nearby wall.

Xiao Ming slowly pushed himself and sat while leaning on the wall.

"What… what do you.. want?" He asked.

Ye Tian Yun didn't reply.

Xiao Ming looked at him with pure hate, "You already got the Token Of Fate… why did you kill her? Why aren't you killing me too?"

Ye Tian Yun didn't reply.

He simply walked closer and moved his leg.

BAM!

Ye Tian Yun kicked Xiao Ming right on the face.

The impact was so powerful that the wall behind Xiao Ming had cracked like a spider web.

Ye Tian Yun then gripped Xiao Ming's hair and sent him flying.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Xiao Ming fell and rolled to the other side of the ground.

"Just… just kill me already…"

Xiao Ming was confused.

Why was Ye Tian Yun not killing him? 

Just like how he killed Yuan Shuchun, Ye Tian Yun only needed a flick of his sword to end Xiao Ming's life.

Ye Tian Yun, however, was surprisingly enjoying beating down Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming couldn't tell what else did Ye Tian Yun want.

Heck, he didn't even know what the enmity was between him and Ye Tian Yun!

Slightly opening his eyes, he saw Ye Tian Yun step closer to him.

This time, however, there was a sword in his hand.

Staring at the sword, Xiao Ming somehow felt relieved.

He wanted to die.

He had lost Yuan Shuchun.

And he couldn't even take revenge for her.

'It's better to die than live like this…'

'But… why should I die like a coward…'

Clenching his teeth, Xiao Ming slowly changed his mind and began to stand up.

Seeing him, Ye Tian Yun only smirked and didn't slow down.

Xiao Ming closed his eyes for a moment and even after feeling excruciating pain from every muscle and bone of his body, he still took a fighting stance.

As Ye Tian Yun stepped closer, Xiao Ming suddenly began to feel a weird feeling.

It was a relaxed and calming experience.

As if all his injuries had suddenly vanished and he was back to his peak.

He had never felt so relaxed.

And in the next moment, his thoughts became clearer and his mind turned calm.

'Is this… is this an epiphany?'

Xiao Ming didn't know whether to laugh in joy or cry in bad luck.

He was getting enlightenment right before his death.

But what was the use?

There was no way a small improvement could change anything here.

'Maybe I can run away?'

A thought popped in his head.

To run away… even though it was cowardly, this seemed to be the only option in his eyes.

'Gentleman's revenge… not too late even after ten years…'

With this thought he suddenly felt energised.

Now, there was a clear objective in front of him.

Xiao Ming took a deep breath, and corrected his sword stance.

In the next moment, intense Sword Intent was released through his sword.

Sword Manifestation Realm!

Xiao Ming had received an epiphany and successfully reached the first milestone of Sword Intent!

He was confident that something like this could definitely create an opportunity for him to escape from Foundation Realm experts like Ye Tian Yun.

Alas, he was rejoicing too soon.

Seeing his Sword Intent, Ye Tian Yun only smirked, and said, "Let me show you the true Sword Intent!"

And in the next moment, Xiao Ming saw Ye Tian Yun get covered with yellow-black lightning, and the sky also began to darked.

Horror dawned upon Xiao Ming's face as he witnessed Ye Tian Yun's power.

'This… Sword Domain! This is the Sword Domain!'

Ye Tian Yun was just too powerful.

Xiao Ming gulped.

Now he couldn't even escape.

'But I won't die just like that!'

And with this thought, he moved.

Within an instant, he appeared close to Ye Tian Yun and slashed his sword.

The sword seemingly went right through Ye Tian Yun, but in the next instant, Xiao Ming knew Ye Tian Yun had long left this spot.

Just then - he felt a bad premonition and turned around.

Only to see Ye Tian Yun stab right through his sword.

Blood spurted from his mouth as he fell on his knees in front of Ye Tian Yun.

Staring at Ye Tian Yun… the only person he could think of was Yuan Shuchun.

Yuan Shuchun…

Right now, Ye Tian Yun's face seemed like Yuan Shuchun's.

'Were they siblings?'

The more dying Xiao Ming noticed, the more Yuan Shuchun and Ye Tian Yun seemed to resemble each other.

'What…'

Suddenly, Xiao Ming noticed Ye Tian Yun's face turn into that of panic and flustered.

'What…'

And then Ye Tian Yun began to cry.

'What…'

And then Ye Tian Yun began to call him out.

'What…'

And then… wait… that's not Ye Tian Yun… 

That's Yuan Shuchun!

Xiao Ming's eyes opened wide.

He moved, and in the next moment, he found himself wide awake.

In front of him was Yuan Shuchun, not Ye Tian Yun. And she had tears in her eyes and panic written all over her expression.

Beside her was Ye Tian Yun, staring at him with an annoyed face.

Xiao Ming was confused.

'What the hell is going on!?'

He asked Yuan Shuchun, "Didn't he kill you… what happened… Am I dead too? But what is he doing here?"

Yuan Shuchun frowned and punched his face!

"You bastard! Do you know how worried I was! What got into your mind! You started to attack out of nowhere! If not for Ye Tian Yun, you would have killed yourself!"

"And now you dare to say I was killed! You bastard! Don't you show me your face! Hmph! This annoying guy!"

Fuming with rage, Yuan Shuchun left, not forgetting to kick Xioa Ming once.

Xiao Ming groaned and turned towards Ye Tian Yun with a questioning gaze.

Ye Tian Yun simply shrugged and he too left.

Xiao Ming stared at their backs in shock.

"Somebody tell me what the fuck is going on!"
