Sword Emperor

All of a sudden, a familiar voice sounded in Sun Bing's ears. It was very clear even at the slightly panicky city gate. This caused his eyes to be filled with astonishment, although he had already expected this. This time around, he would meet an old friend in the Soaring Dragon City. However, he did not expect to meet him as soon as he entered the city gate.    

Immediately, he turned around slowly. Looking for the source of the voice, he could see that the person who called him earlier was the flood who had sent the invitation last time. After confirming that it was Sun Bing, he turned around and saw that the person was none other than the person who had sent the invitation last time. On the opposite side, it could be said that there was a trace of joy on the other side's face.    

After seeing this person, even Sun Bing's calm heart couldn't help but become excited. In the Shen State, there were very few people who could be called Sun Bing's friends. Since the flood had already arrived, Hong Kai shouldn't be far away.    

Indeed, it was within Sun Bing's expectation. After seeing him, hong Shui immediately cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Young hero Sun Bing, young master is waiting for you in the city. Why don't you follow me now?"    

Sun Bing wasn't too surprised by this. He nodded his head and walked into the city. At the same time, he thought to himself, "We haven't met for almost half a year. I wonder what Brother Hong Kai will do now? I think he has already fully accepted the inheritance of the family. His current strength should have undergone a tremendous change!"    

Walking in the Rising Dragon City... That desolate aura grew even stronger. Even the black stone slab beneath his feet was slightly mottled, and it faintly buried the killing intent of the past.    

This made Sun Bing suspect that even the charred land in the outer perimeter of Soaring Dragon City would not be as simple as he had imagined. There should be many secrets hidden within.    

However, before Sun Bing could finish his thoughts, he heard the sound of a flood. "Young hero Sun Bing, we have arrived. Young master is waiting for you inside."    

Immediately, Sun Bing threw away the unnecessary thoughts in his mind. After all, those things were too far away from him. On the contrary, the old friend that he hadn't seen for a long time had attracted his attention.    

It seemed like the flood had already informed him about it. As soon as Sun Bing stepped into the hall, he saw Hong Kai walking towards him with a smile on his face. Compared to half a year ago, there was no doubt that Hong Kai had changed a lot.    

First of all, his cultivation base had unknowingly reached the peak of late Reborn Stage, which was no less than Sun Bing's. Judging from the vague Qi that was emitted from his body, his strength must not be underestimated, and he was a threat even to Sun Bing.    

It was imaginable that after such a long period of time, his opponent's improvement was truly frightening. Such terrifying speed was comparable to Sun Bing's. However, when he thought of the fact that the other party had accepted the inheritance of his ancestor, a hint of understanding appeared in Sun Bing's eyes.    

After arriving in front of Sun Bing, Hong Kai was in a pretty good mood. He couldn't help but speak. "I never thought that Brother Sun Bing would finally arrive today. I have been waiting for a long time."    

These words made Sun Bing's face turn red. After all, he had gotten lost before. He could only smile awkwardly. "I'm not too familiar with this place, but I'm a little late. I never thought that Brother Hong Kai would change so much in such a short period of time."    

Upon hearing Sun Bing's praise, it was obvious that Hong Kai's face was filled with surprise. Immediately, he said humbly, "After all, it was my ancestor's dark plot. If I don't succeed, my old man will beat me to death. The Hong Family has been hiding their strength and biding their time for many years. This time, I will certainly amaze the world with a single feat."    

However, after seeing Sun Bing, the complacency in his heart was slowly withdrawn. His eyes were filled with astonishment, because he realized that he couldn't sense Sun Bing's Qi at all.    

One should know that nothing like this had ever happened ever since he reached this realm. Confused, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Sun Bing, what is your current cultivation base?"    

He didn't finish his sentence, but Sun Bing understood what he meant. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he said in a low voice, "It's just a tough-training trip. Due to some coincidences, I was lucky enough to break through to the Late Reborn Stage."    

Although Sun Bing's words were quite relaxed, a storm was still raging in Hong Kai's heart. Even the trace of complacency in his heart had disappeared without a trace.    

Hong Kai actually had a pretty good understanding of Sun Bing. Almost on the same day that Sun Bing arrived in Tianyun City, the two of them had already started to get in touch with each other. Not only did they have a gathering, but they had also started hunting together. In the end, they had become life-and-death friends.    

Therefore, Hong Kai could clearly understand Sun Bing's strength. However, because of this understanding, his heart was filled with deep shock. Sun Bing had just reached the intermediate Reborn Stage, and breaking through to the late Reborn Stage wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.    

If it wasn't for the inheritance this time, even Hong Kai himself wouldn't be able to guarantee that he would be able to reach such a realm in such a short period of time, let alone Sun Bing.    

One should know that Sun Bing was merely a rogue cultivators. He needed to work hard to obtain all the cultivation resources. At the same time, he needed to deepen his comprehension and break through. The difficulty of this process could be said to have increased exponentially. It was truly a miracle that he was able to reach the same level as him so quickly.    

Although Hong Kai was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't show much of an expression in his eyes. He just sighed with envy. "Brother Sun Bing is really blessed. I admire him. He would surely be able to easily enter the Prodigy Roll, but since that was the case... I won't show any mercy when I meet him on the Prodigy Roll. "    

After all, Hong Kai already had some understanding of Sun Bing's strength. Previously, he was able to defeat the strong with a weak cultivation base. He didn't think that as Sun Bing's cultivation base increased, his strength would gradually decline.    

Seeing that Hong Kai didn't show much hatred and jealousy from the beginning until the end, Sun Bing faintly nodded his head. After all, there was no lack of cultivators in Shen State who would betray anyone for their own benefits.    

It could even be said that Hong Kai had become a villain because of the benefits of others. However, from the looks of it now, Hong Kai's bearing was quite big. The relationship between the two of them didn't become shallow because of the long period of time.    

After talking for a while, Hong Kai saw the two of them still standing at the gate. There was a trace of embarrassment on Hong Kai's face. "I have neglected Brother Sun Bing. Why don't we go in and drink some tea together? Wait a moment. After a while, an old friend came."    

Sun Bing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard about his old friends. He could not help but speak softly. "Could it be Zhang Xiao? It must be. It was impossible for her to be absent from this event. He just did not know what would happen to her at this moment."    

Hong Kai didn't answer Sun Bing's question directly. Instead, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, as if he was smiling mysteriously. Sun Bing's guess wasn't so accurate. It really confused everyone.    

Although he was puzzled, Sun Bing didn't think too much about those painful questions. Immediately, the two of them walked into the hall, and at the same time, they couldn't help but discuss about their cultivation base.    

After all, it had been half a year since they last saw each other. Both of their cultivation base had undergone a tremendous change. Naturally, their understanding of the heaven and earth had changed slightly. Things that they couldn't understand in the past had become much clearer now.    

Furthermore, Hong Kai had made a breakthrough because of Sun Bing's guidance. Now, he was eager to try it out. After all, the opening time of the prodigy roll was right in front of him. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to make a breakthrough, he would have more confidence in the future.    

As for Sun Bing, he was also interested in Hong Kai's opinion. After all, Hong Kai had already accepted the inheritance of his family, which was close to the inheritance of a saint. There were also a lot of philosophy in the inheritance, which would definitely benefit him a lot. Even Sun Bing would be able to gain a lot from it.
