Chapter 18 : “Angry Hong Xiaobao tricks Guan Juxiong”
These guards were all 5-star martial artists, which would normally be quite formidable, but unfortunately they were facing Guan Juxiong, a 7-star martial artist, so their strength was quite weak in comparison.
With a loud *Bang* all of the guards were sent flying by the heat wave, falling heavily on the ground. It would be impossible for them to get up any time soon.
You couldn’t really blame them for failing, as they, after all they were at the disadvantage of two big boundaries, and it would be very difficult for them to make up for that.
Seeing hot steam rushing towards Hong Xiaobao, Zuo Shixian fiercely bit his lips. He grasped his Blood Qi as he staggered forward to block the attack for Hong Xiaobao. He simultaneously recited “Creator has a varied heart, I’m aware, to which it’s nothing to let heroes decay!!!”
This verse was actually quite suitable for defense, as numerous swords combined to become an ice curtain which blocked the hot steam away. But right now all of Zuo Shixian’s strength was concentrated on defending, and it would be very difficult for him to attack.
“Ha Ha Ha Ha! Zuo Shixian, do you have anything left to say ?” Guan Juxiong moved slowly towards Zuo Shixian. His imposing manner was quite formidable, like an ice-cold blade taken out of its’ sheath
All of the onlookers retreated three steps back in fear.
Qingqing shook her head as she sighed lightly “It is a pity that this Zuo Shixian was injured, otherwise thanks to Ninth Prince’s poetry, he could probably match head on with that brute.”
“Unfortunately,” Woman said “If you would give him some time, so long as Ninth Prince would make, say, two more good poems, then he could turn the tide of this fight. It’s a shame that he doesn’t have any time for that now…”
Guan Juxiong walked towards Zuo Shixian slowly. But then Hong Xiaobao, just as slowly stood up from his seat
“Big Brother Xiaobao!” Yun Caixiao blocked him hurriedly “That is a 7-star martial artist, don’t go out there!”
“7-star martial artist? So what?” Hong Xiaobao’s smiling expression suddenly turned into disdain “He dared to come to father’s domain to act unruly, if I don’t teach him a lesson, then would he really think that his father is so easy to bully?!”
All people on the scene were completely shocked!
Everybody knew that Hong Xiaobao didn’t have any martial arts practice, but this Guan Juxiong was a 7-star martial artist! The gap between two was like the gap between a beggar and an emperor!
But this Ninth Prince said that he must teach Guan Juxiong a lesson
“Your Highness, this is my matter, Your Highness cannot get involved!” Zuo Shixian could naturally see that Hong Xiaobao didn’t have any martial arts so he was quite anxious. If he died then that would be his destiny, as he and Guan Juxiong had a grudge. Although it would be a pity to die but… oh well. Whereas Ninth Prince was innocent so it would a be no good if he let him die.
“I cannot remain uninvolved in this matter anymore,” Hong Xiaobao said with a smile, as he pa.s.sed Zuo Shixian by. He looked at Guan Juxiong and said “Hey, Big Black Bear, you said a moment ago that meeting Uncle Zuo here was a happy encounter right? So your real target today was me right?”
When he said that people on the scene immediately gawked.
Did Guan Juxiong really come for Ninth Prince? Could it be possible? However if you carefully thought about it, when Guan Juxiong saw Zuo Shixian he really did say that it was a happy encounter. Now when you listened to Ninth Prince it could be fairly possible for him to come for Hong Xiaobao.
“Ha Ha Ha Ha! You’re actually quite intelligent!” Guan Juxiong laughed so hard that the whole building shook slightly ”Right, This father is always frank with people, kid, today meeting this old man was truly an accident!”
“You see,” Hong Xiaobao looked at Yun Caixiao and helplessly shrugged his arms “Other people have looked for me, and Uncle Zuo was simply shot while lying down*” Yun Caixiao didn’t know* what that meant, but it clearly meant it was just his bad luck being there.
When she found out that Guan Juxiong was looking for Hong Xiaobao, she immediately became anxious.
If a 7-star martial artist wished to kill Hong Xiaobao, then it would be as simple as killing an ant. She could inform her father to come and save him, he could definitely drive this Guan Juxiong away without any difficulties, but would he make it in time?
“Boy,” At this time grandfathers inside the bracelet were also a little worried “This 7-star martial artist, is five boundaries higher than that Ye Jinning, it is not something that your small gadget could possibly handle!” said Meng Xianji
“Yes,” Xiao Sanshao rarely agreed with Meng Xianji “You do not need to show off your power for now, as long as the mountain is green, there will be firewood.**
Although Guan Juxiong’s strength was nothing to speak of for them, Hong Xiaobao didn’t have any martial arts and these guards were not sufficient to deal with Guan Juxiong either.
“This Big Stupid Bear is actually a piece of cake ha,” Hong Xiaobao considered himself a worldly person, so for him such simple-minded fellow was nothing. He went forward one step, and while staring Guan Juxiong in the eye, he asked “Do you want to kill me?” His smile was unusually gentle.
“Right. Meager Ninth Prince. I won’t hesitate to do that.” Guan Juxiong smiled evilly.
Hong Xiaobao said with a nod “En, you can kill me, but you must first explain to me, whose hands do I die by?”
Guang Juxiong “Nonsense, I already said that I would kill you!”
Hong Xiaobao “Aren’t I me?”
Guan Juxion “You are Ninth Prince! What is the meaning of this?”
Surrounding people were completely shocked. Hong Xiaobao’s question was quite strange. Wasn’t he Ninth Prince? Yes, he did have a name, Hong Xiaobao. But that was not the issue.
“What is this boy doing?” Middle-aged woman had her doubts “Does he want to stall for time?”
“No…” Qingqing shook her head, and suddenly smiled beautifully “I think that today this Guan Juxiong will lose.”
“Hmm?” Middle aged woman was greatly surprised as she watched the scene carefully
“Actually, we must start from the beginning, from the relations between a man, and the universe.” Hong Xiaobao said while staring into Guan Juxiong’s eyes “This matter has been puzzling me for a long time. Who is I, that must kill me ?”
“You are the Ninth Prince!” Guan Juxiong roared angrily “And it is I that must kill you!”
“You want to kill me?” Hong Xiaobao shook his head “Who are you? Guan Juxiong you say? No, this is only a name, a code name. You can be called Guan Juxiong and so can I. And so everybody here can be called Guan Juxiong. This name is not your characteristic. Again, who are you?”
Guan Juxiong was in stupor. He then started to pull his hairs out and shake his head “I do not know! I do not need to know!”
“En, then answer this question” Hong Xiaobao pointed at his own nose “Who am I ?”
“You already asked this question!” Guan Juxiong said while breathing heavily.
“No, a moment ago Ninth Prince asked, now I ask you” Hong Xiaobao said “The Genuine I.”
“There’s no difference!” Guan Juxiong tried to look away.
“Naturally there is a big difference” Hong Xiaobao spoke with confidence “ I am a code name which represents itself. When I speak to you I use this me, this code name. But from your perspective, your code name was also I. Does this mean that you are me, and me is you?”
All the people on scene were a little dumbstruck when they heard Hong Xiaobao. This issue really had some depth to it!
Guan Juxiong from childhood drank bear milk to grow up so he couldn’t cope with Hong Xiaobao. To put it bluntly he…. wasn’t the smartest one. Therefore his brain was a little lagging, with his speech stammering “Thi … this issue… does… does not have any significance, does not have any significance!!”
“En, then I’ll ask meaningful things” Hong Xiaobao smiled “Where do we come from? Is there a life after death? Why am I in this world ? What does my appearance mean to this world. Have I chosen the world, or has the world chosen me ?”
“Enough!!!” Guan Juxiong covered his ears.
But Hong Xiaobao didn’t stop as raised his voice and came closer to Guan Juxiong “What is the relation between me and the universe? Does the universe end? Does time have an end? Where did the past end? Where does the future begin? You heard my question just now, right? I asked a question and you wanted to kill me. But when you asked a question did I want to kill me?”
What Hong Xiaobao said was very strange, and for every step he took, Guan Juxiong took one step back
“I will kill you! I must kill you!” Finally Guan Juxiong couldn’t endure and he has collapsed on the floor
But Hong Xiaobao didn’t give up yet “Who has killed me, and whom have I killed?!!”
Guan Juxiong stared at him dumbfoundedly for a few seconds, and then he said “Do I kill me?”
“Correct,” Hong Xiaobao finally said with a nod “Begin” When he said that, he gave a wink to Zuo Shixian. At that moment Protector Zuo came closer.
“My …. I … Me ….” Guan Juxiong looked at his hand, and then at Hong Xiaobao. He hesitantly cried out “It’s not right, NOT RIGHT!!!” He almost attacked Hong Xiaobao again, but that moment of hesitation was all that Zuo Shixian needed. With a dull *Bang* sound he hit Guan Juxiong in the back, and have pushed him back towards the entrance
“Puff” Guan Juxiong spat a huge mouthful of blood while laughing foolishly “Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, have you killed me? Have I killed me myself? Ha Ha Ha!!”
He spoke these words as he swayed to the entrance absentmindedly.
The whole audience was so silent, that you could hear a needle dropping. Everybody was so shocked that their eyes were bulging out like this: (⊙_⊙)
