Chapter 1203: The Heart of the Strong
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
After Ye Xiao’s effort, Han Bingxue was safe, although he was still suffering the pain of the injuries. Ye Xiao had just put some dan beads into his mouth. It should have put enough energy into his body. Even though Ye Xiao was grabbing his hair and held him under the hawk’s wing, it was safe!
However, they were flying extremely fast after all. Although it was safe, it was definitely not an enjoyable experience!
After just a few seconds, Han Bingxue was already wrecked. The strong airflow kept hitting his face. He couldn’t even say a word to beg Ye Xiao. The moment he opened his mouth, the wind blew into his mouth and hurt his stomach…
At the same time, he was praying in his mind that his hairs were not going to break…
If his hairs broke, he would start to fall… and he couldn’t move even a finger…
When Ye Xiao finally pulled him up, Han Bingxue nearly passed out again. He stared at Ye Xiao with his fierce eyes. If his gaze could actually cut Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao would have been cut into pieces.
“My good brother. Are you still hungry now?” Ye Xiao spoke gently and peacefully like he was genuinely caring for his beloved brother.
“No. Not at all.” Han Bingxue lowered his head.
“Are you thirsty then?” Ye Xiao was still smiling.
“No. No.” Han Bingxue looked sullen.
“How is your waist then?” Ye Xiao squinted at him, “Do you want me to do a full massage for you? It is going to make you feel so good!”
“No no no no… I am feeling great.” Han Bingxue was frightened. He was afraid Ye Xiao would give him a ‘bone-broken deadly massage’ if he dared to let Ye Xiao do it.
“Oh, right! Don’t you want to eat something sweet? Do you want me to get you some?”
“No no no…”
“Humph!” Ye Xiao suddenly humphed angrily. He shouted loudly, “Bastard! Don’t you dare think you were doing the right thing! What the hell were you doing back there? Do you think you were helping me? Do you think you can just activate Seven-in-one Mergence like that? I had my way to get us out! Why do you have to give up your stupid life on it? Do you think that makes you a great brother to me? Do you want me to feel heartbroken for the rest of my life? You fxcking idiot…”
Han Bingxue’s face turned green. It seemed he was recollecting the experience of the last fight. When the last bit of his soul was all he had, he felt like falling into the absolute darkness. Even though he clearly knew that he was still alive, he felt extremely terrified!
Ye Xiao remembered what happened in the fight. Han Bingxue activated Seven-in-one Mergence; Erhuo drew away Wu Fa; he used the Golden Soul Tower to defend themselves from Wu Fa’s full power attack. It hadn’t taken a long time, but he still felt frightened when thinking about it…
He hadn’t expected that Han Bingxue would actually burn his own soul to activate the Seven-in-one Mergence…
Han Bingxue was exactly sacrificing himself to create an opportunity for survival for Ye Xiao!
However, Ye Xiao didn’t run away. He was shocked and terrified!
If Wu Fa weren’t that pretentious and didn’t stop Han Bingxue’s sword in the end, Ye Xiao would never be able to bring Han Bingxue back from death with no matter how many dan beads he had.
Now that Han Bingxue was all right, Ye Xiao finally couldn’t help to burst his complaint and fear…
“Don’t you dare to do this again. Otherwise…” Ye Xiao said. But before he finished it, he stopped. [If he does this again, he will die. There is nothing I can do after he dies.]
Han Bingxue survived because of great luck. If Wu Fa didn’t try to be cool, Han Bingxue would have died. If Ye Xiao didn’t have supreme level Life Origin Dan, Han Bingxue would have passed away. If Ye Xiao didn’t have lots of supreme dan beads to keep him alive, Han Bingxue would have been wasted! That would make him like a dead man!
Neither Ye Xiao or Han Bingxue would accept that result!
When the golden hawk landed, the two guys stopped recollecting the memories. The hawk landed on the peak of an isolated mountain.
There were no higher mountains around them anymore.
Ye Xiao realized that the golden hawk would always choose to land on the highest mountain in an area. It always did.
The pride that was deep inside its bones made it do this. It automatically did it.
The higher, the colder. Only the strong could stand on the peak!
Ye Xiao looked around, and then he looked at the hawk. It was standing proudly on the peak of the mountain, with shiny golden lights glowing all around its body. He was touched, so he said, “Who knows how many mountains are there in the world. It is always unpredictable what difficulty we are going to encounter. Maybe different places have different views, but I know where I stand is the peak of the world. In my heart, I am always the peak!”
Han Bingxue was shocked.
What Ye Xiao just said seemed to sigh emotionally. It was quite plain and raw.
However, Han Bingxue understood the true meaning behind the words.
[Who can see the highest mountain in the world just by a glance?]
[Not even the god, it couldn’t!]
[What I know is, I am the highest mountain in this area.]
[I will look upon all the other mountains.]
It was quite rough. However, Han Bingxue got more meanings behind these.
[I don’t care about those I haven’t reached yet.]
[I know that I am the best among all that I know!]
[I am standing at the highest point!]
[In Land of Han-Yang, I am! In Qing-Yun Realm, I will!]
[The higher, the colder! There will be a day when I reach the peak!]
Han Bingxue took a deep breath of the cold air. He looked at Ye Xiao on his back and was suddenly enlightened. [It turns out I am so much worse than him now.]
[Xiao Monarch convinced me; the young man Ye Xiao also awes me.]
[Why?]
Han Bingxue murmured, “The heart of the strong!”
It was a heart of toughness and ambitions. Even though there will always be a higher mountain, he would always strive to the higher point.
Ye Xiao didn’t turn his head. In a low voice, he spoke solemnly, “That’s right. Bingxue. The heart of the strong! A strong man always looked at the highest point. A strong man allows nobody to climb upon his head! Nobody!
“It is fine that we are not there yet. Keep working. Keep fighting. It will be the day when we get there. Even though we will never reach it, we must die in the way to the highest point with the heart of the strong in our chests!
“That is the true heart of the strong!
“That is the obsession of all the real strong men!”
