Chapter 1281 You Already Know My Name

1281 You Already Know My Name

"Bai Xutao, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. What the f.u.c.k have you done? Not only have you once again sneaked away, but you"ve also violated a heavenly decree. Why did you unseal your cultivation? Do you comprehend the gravity of your actions?" Bai Ning interrogated Bai Xutao the moment she arrived.

"I-I can explain this!" Bai Xutao replied hurriedly, his face fraught with fear.

"You better have a good explanation for your actions, or I will end you myself right now," Bai Ning"s gaze emitted a potent aura of bloodl.u.s.t, her patience with Bai Xutao"s antics thoroughly worn thin.

Bai Xutao immediately pointed at Yuan and cried out loud, "It"s all that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s fault! He came out of nowhere and provoked me while I was minding my own business and drinking tea with a new friend! Not only did he humiliate me, he even attacked me! I was only defending myself!"

He proceeded to direct his finger at the dozens of limbs on the ground and continued, "Look down there— at my limbs! I was forced to use almost all of my Supreme Rejuvenation Pills because of him!"

Bai Ning looked at the ground where Bai Xutao"s severed limbs were scattered about like trash and frowned.

Turning her attention to Yuan, she inquired, "Who are you?"

"It"s common courtesy to offer your own introduction before seeking to learn about others," Yuan replied calmly.

"..."

Following a momentary silence, Bai Ning abruptly vanished from her position, appearing in front of Yuan with a swiftness so remarkable that he could barely perceive the motion.

"I won"t ask again," she spoke in a frigid tone.

"She"s strong! Really strong!" Yuan cried inwardly.

Even without the need for a confrontation, Yuan could discern that she was immensely more powerful than Bai Xutao.

Despite that, he did not give in to her pressure and said, "I won"t repeat myself either—"

Before he could complete his sentence, Bai Ning suddenly extended her hand toward his throat with the intention of killing him.

Yuan antic.i.p.ated her actions and managed to respond promptly, deflecting her hand with his own. Bai Ning"s eyes widened slightly, clearly taken aback.

After blocking her attack, Yuan distanced himself from her.

Bai Ning did not follow him and remained still.

"Why did you target Bai Xutao?" Bai Ning inquired suddenly.

"It"s none of your business."

"Regrettably, it is. No matter how inept he may be, he is still my younger brother from the same family, and as the eldest in the family, I have a right to understand why someone is targeting my sibling," Bai Ning a.s.serted.

"So you"re his sister, huh." Yuan had heard about her from Xi Meili.

However, since she wasn"t involved in their incident, Yuan couldn"t justify attacking her, even if she was Bai Xutao"s sibling. If she had attacked Xi Meili or was responsible for Feng Yuxiang"s current situation, he would"ve had enough reason to act.

"I don"t know who he is, but he"s undoubtedly from the upper heavens. He"s also a beast, although I can"t discern his specific race by scent alone, as there"s something peculiar about it," Bai Xutao interjected.

"Whatever. I don"t care about your ident.i.ty or your reason for attacking Bai Xutao, but since you dared to lay hands on a member of the Heavenly White Tiger Clan, I will punish you accordingly and question you afterward." Bai Ning"s aura surged the following moment, and unlike Bai Xutao, she did not underestimate Yuan, entering the peak of Spirit Emperor without hesitation.

Yuan didn"t want to fight her, but seeing how she was determined to fight him, he no longer had a choice.

A moment later, the two would clash against each other, their formidable spiritual energies colliding in a fierce confrontation.

"This person... he"s formidable!" Bai Ning recognized Yuan"s strength and comprehended how he had managed to press Bai Xutao to his limits.

Neither of them would overpower the other even many minutes and thousands of exchanges later.

Over time, Bai Ning"s battle with Yuan ceased to be about punishment and transformed into a form of enjoyment. After all, she had very few peers who could match her strength, even in the upper heavens.

Bai Xutao was utterly astonished to see someone last this long against Bai Ning, who was widely feared and respected in the upper heavens.

"Not only does he have a lower cultivation than her, he"s even fighting her on equal footing!" he cried inwardly.

If he were to mention this fight to the people in the upper heavens, not even his own parents would believe him— such was the sheer absurdity of the spectacle unfolding before him.

Sometime later, as Bai Ning remained engrossed in her battle with Yuan, the sky above them abruptly grew dim and overcast, almost as though a thunderstorm was approaching.

When she realized that her enjoyment was coming to an end, Bai Ning clicked her tongue in disappointment.

"If only we had crossed paths under different circ.u.mstances, we might have made fine sparring partners," she remarked to him, then added, "Regrettably, it"s time to end this."

"Unfortunate, indeed." Yuan agreed with her.

Suddenly, Bai Ning"s aura surged to even greater heights, and her cultivation reached the peak of Spirit Sovereign.

"Are you certain you don"t wish to— at the very least— divulge your name with me before I end your life?" Bai Ning inquired about his ident.i.ty again.

Yuan smiled and said, "You already know my name."

"What?" Bai Ning was caught off guard by his response, yet she couldn"t quite fathom its significance.

"My liege, I am going to teleport you to safety now." Dong Ye"s voice resounded again.

Bai Ning suddenly furrowed her brow, detecting Yuan"s attempt to escape.

"Don"t even think about it!" Bai Ning roared as she prepared to stop him.

"HALT!" Yuan suddenly bellowed in a commanding tone.

Inexplicably, Bai Ning found herself abruptly losing control over her own body and froze in place.

Then, before her very eyes, Bai Ning watched helplessly as Yuan vanished from her sight like a ghost.

"?!?!"
