At the instant the power of time reversal erupted forth, the near one hundred sword shadows behind Su Ming froze at the same time and fell back swiftly. Beiling's pupils shrank. Almost the instant the sword shadows fell back and he was forced back against his will, he bit the tip of his tongue and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Once that blood appeared, it turned into a blood-red chain that circled around him, turning into a vortex formed by the chains.
The vortex crashed into the invisible power that reversed time, and a violent bang rang in the air. The Chain shattered, the hundreds of sword shadows all disappeared, and Beiling took two steps back, but he still managed to force his way out from the reversal of time!
At the instant he did so, Su Ming lifted his left hand from the center of Hu Zi's brows and turned around. For the first time, he looked straight at Beiling. Behind him, Hu Zi closed his eyes and fell asleep. His chest rose and fell, but his life force was still around. A mark that looked like the word Life appeared at the center of his brows.
That mark shone, and it seemed to be at the same frequency as Hu Zi's breathing.
Su Ming looked at Beiling, and a complicated look was hidden in his eyes. In truth, when he woke up just now, he saw this person who had once existed in his memories.
He looked exactly the same … If there was any difference, then the Beiling in Su Ming's memories was young. Right then, there was an air of age about him. He might not have been ancient, but there was an extreme arrogance and coldness about him.
If Su Ming had been in his place many years ago, he would have definitely been incredibly excited when he saw Beiling, but now, after experiencing the similarities between Bai Su and Bai Ling, after experiencing Si Ma and the corpse on the altar in the galaxy, and after learning about many secrets, Su Ming was no longer excited. There was only a complicated feeling in his heart.
Beiling did not know him.
Su Ming had expected this a long time ago. He looked at Beiling, and the other looked at him. At the instant their gazes met, Beiling's heart trembled. He suddenly had a feeling that while the person before him was unfamiliar, his gaze gave him an incredibly familiar feeling. This sense of familiarity stunned him for a moment.
"Beiling, long time no see," Su Ming said calmly.
A glint appeared in Beiling's eyes and he stared at Su Ming.
"You've seen me before?"
"The Bei in your name is the Bei in the north, and the Ling in your name is the Ling in the ice, right?" Su Ming could not be irresponsible, and he asked languidly.
"Ling as in Shan Ling!" Beiling said coldly. At that moment, the ship in the distance was closing in slowly. The woman standing at the bow of the ship was staring into Su Ming's eyes with a dumbfounded expression. Gradually, disbelief appeared on her face, and her breathing quickened.
"You too, Chen Xin. It's been a long time." Su Ming looked past Beiling and at the woman before he spoke softly.
"You … You are …" Chenxin widened her eyes and looked at Su Ming. Beiling saw the disbelief in her eyes, causing him to look into Su Ming's eyes swiftly.
"Who I am is not important. Bei Ling, let's fight!" A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes, hiding the complicated look in his eyes. When he looked towards Beiling, he lifted his right hand and swung it to the side.
"This battle is not for myself, but for you … who injured my Senior Brother!"
Beiling fell silent. A freezing glare shone in his eyes, and with a solemn expression on his face, he lifted his right hand and seized the air behind his head. He looked as if he was seizing the air, but in truth, he seemed to have seized something that no one else could see.
It was as if he was slowly pulling out a sword from his back. As a freezing glare shone in his eyes, he lifted his right foot and took a step towards Su Ming.
At the instant he took that step, anxiety appeared on Chenxin's face. She immediately flew out, and her voice echoed in the air.
"Beiling, he's …"
"Shut up!" Beiling did not turn his head back. He let out a low growl and cut off Chenxin's words. He traveled so quickly that he was less than a hundred feet away from Su Ming. A red glare suddenly appeared in his right hand, and when Beiling let go of his hand, a long red sword turned into a long arc that looked like a burning shooting star and charged towards Su Ming.
At the same time, Beiling formed a seal with his hands and pointed towards the sky. Immediately, the clouds in the sky tumbled about, and the Aquatic Dragons trapping the old man in white roared simultaneously. They left the old man's side and charged towards Beiling, and a python robe appeared above his head!
That python robe danced in the air, as if there was an invisible person wearing it, and with a swing of his arm, it charged towards Su Ming.
If that was all, then it would not be enough to show just how powerful Beiling was. He pressed his left hand against the ground, and immediately, the seawater beneath him tumbled about and turned into a gigantic face. That face was the exact same as Beiling's. That face was completely formed by seawater, and at that moment, it opened its mouth wide and shot up from the bottom of the sea to charge towards Su Ming.
Su Ming looked at the incoming sword slash. Behind him was Hu Zi, and behind the divine ability was Dark Mountain's companion in his memories. He would never forget Dark Mountain's memories, and neither would he forget Hu Zi's loyalty.
"I don't owe you anything …" Su Ming mumbled. In the face of the incoming sword, he closed his eyes.
The instant he did so, the red sword glare closed in on him and stabbed into his chest, right where his heart was. That sword was filled with killing intent, and it was a sword that wanted to kill Su Ming!
A loud bang spread through the area, and Su Ming took a step back. The long rainbow sword had only managed to pierce a small part of his chest before it could no longer pierce through. It was as if Su Ming's body had become incredibly strong at that moment, and just that sword alone could not pierce through it!
'This sword … will repay the kindness of passing down the arrow to me in the past …' Su Ming opened his eyes and lifted his right hand to press against the sword in his chest. Once he held it, he squeezed it forcefully, and golden light shone from his entire body. That golden light spread out from every inch of his flesh and every single bone, causing a cracking sound to ring out, and the red sword shattered inch by inch in Su Ming's hand, turning into shards that scattered into the sea.
Almost at the same time Su Ming destroyed the sword, the invisible person who seemed to be dressed in a python's robe closed in on him. As he swung his arm, the shadows of nine Aquatic Dragons manifested. They opened their mouths wide in Su Ming's direction, and at the instant they swallowed him, they wrapped themselves around his body. With a swift squeeze, a great force that wanted to tear Su Ming apart spread out from them!
Su Ming did not move, but no matter how the nine Aquatic Dragons roared, they only made Su Ming's face turn slightly pale. His body remained standing straight on the spot, and he was not torn apart.
"This strike … severed our childhood friendship …" Su Ming lowered his head and said softly. At the instant he said those words, the golden light that had disappeared from his body erupted forth. Wherever the golden light went, Su Ming would lift his hand, and shrill roars would tumble out of the nine Aquatic Dragons' mouths. Banging sounds reverberated in the air, and the nine Aquatic Dragons shattered. As they tumbled backwards, they turned into pieces of cloth that resembled a python's robe.
Su Ming's words fell into Beiling's ears, but not a single hint of change could be detected on his face. Instead, it became even more aloof. He executed his third divine ability, the gigantic face formed by the seawater, and closed in on Su Ming. With a bang, it completely enveloped Su Ming and the ninth summit.
If anyone looked from the distance, they would not be able to see the ninth summit. The only thing they could see was a gigantic head that was several tens of thousands of feet tall. It stood tall on the surface of the sea, and within it was the ninth summit!
"The seawater has buried our memories of Dark Mountain. Bei Ling, from now on, you are Beiling … I, Su Ming, do not owe you anything. I did not owe you anything in the past, and I still do not owe you anything now … You injured my senior brother, and now, we will settle our scores!" At the instant Su Ming's voice traveled out from the pillar of seawater, a loud bang that shook the sky and earth rose up. Violent ripples spread out from within the pillar of seawater. As they spread out, the pearl crumbled, and the seawater formed a ring that shot out in all directions as if it was a wave of impact.
At the same time, as the seawater shot out and the ninth summit revealed itself, an afterimage charged out and closed in on Beiling in an instant. At the instant he pointed towards Beiling, the presence of Life Cultivation swiftly surrounded the tip of that finger.
The presence of Life Cultivation was a power that could shake souls and shatter Life Matrices. Life Cultivation was powerful precisely because it could shake other people's Life Matrices, change one's own fate, overturn the universe, and overturn all the lives in this world!
Su Ming had previously possessed a hint of Life Cultivation's presence, but that presence had become dull due to his bewilderment, chaotic due to his hesitation. Even so, it was still incredibly shocking.
Yet now, once Su Ming woke up and was in a state of epiphany, he might not have obtained the complete answer, but he had gained an epiphany in his heart. He might not be able to put that epiphany into words, but he could sense its existence.
That was the understanding of the word 'Life'!
It was precisely because of this that the presence of Life Cultivation spreading out from Su Ming's body at that moment caused Beiling's expression to change. It caused a rare look of shock to appear on his icy cold face. He could clearly feel his soul trembling under that one finger!
"This one finger is your punishment for stepping into the ninth summit!"
In his haste, Beiling did not have the time to hesitate. He swiftly retreated, and when he lifted his right hand, all the pores on his body opened up. Waves of sword aura erupted from his pores and swiftly fought back against Su Ming's incoming finger.
A loud bang that surged into the sky reverberated in the air. Beiling coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered several hundreds of feet backwards. Intense pain shot through his entire body, and the large amount of sword aura he had spread out shattered one after another under Su Ming's one finger.
A fine cut appeared on the pad of Su Ming's finger, and blood flowed out from it, but he did not stop moving. He took huge strides towards Beiling.
When he closed in, Su Ming swung his arm, clenched his right hand into a fist, and hurled a punch towards Beiling through the air. The golden light on Su Ming's entire body seemed to have gathered on his fist, and from the distance, Su Ming's right fist looked as if it had turned into a golden sun. When it illuminated the entire area, Su Ming threw a punch towards Beiling.
Beiling did not even have time to wipe off the blood. His pride caused him to be unable to accept this sort of defeat, especially … by Su Ming's hands. This caused him to lift his right hand and press his palm against the top of his skull. With it, his entire body started trembling, and right before his eyes, a sword appeared within his body. That sword was only the size of a palm in his body, and as Beiling struck the top of his skull, that sword flew out swiftly.
