Chapter 333 Don't Ask The Heavens

"About us?" Xu Han was stunned for a moment before he regained his senses from the man's domineering and contemptuous saber strike.

But he really didn't understand how he could interact with this man in front of him.

The man didn't care. He smiled and pointed at the girl lying not far away. He said, "I'll help you solve your current troubles. How about you agree to my previous conditions?"

Xu Han naturally remembered that condition.

However, it didn't seem like that was a condition. After all, to survive, there was no need for a man to say that if he could even have a sliver of hope, Xu Han would still choose to do so.

After experiencing the vicissitudes of life and the schemes of the Headmaster, Xu Han was willing to believe that a man's gift was free.

He probably understood one thing. The amount of money you get from others will only be given to others more, not less.

However, looking at the man's expression, Xu Han did not think that he would be able to get the answer he wanted if he asked further. Therefore, he asked another question.

"Who are you?"

This question seemed to be within the man's expectations. He smiled and said, "It's better to ask who I am than not to ask who you are."

After saying that, the man didn't forget to blink at Xu Han craftily.

Xu Han was stunned. He suddenly remembered the terrifying power that surged out of his body at that time. Not only was that power incomparably powerful, even he himself was almost devoured by it.

It wasn't dragon qi or demonic power or the power from the Heavenly Punishment Sword.

That thing resided in Xu Han's body, and Xu Han had never known about it.

It was like a wolf lurking in the dense forest. It was quiet, cold, but extremely dangerous.

It carefully used its blood-red eyes to look at the prey it liked. It would never make a move before it was 100% certain. Once it made a move, it would be doomed to be extremely thunderous and safe.

In fact, it did. If it hadn't been for this man's arrival, Xu Han would have been devoured by him.

"You mean?" Xu Han, who had awakened, had a peculiar expression on his face.

"Yes." Before he could finish his question, the man nodded his head confidently.

"What is that? Why is it in my body?" It wouldn't be a good thing for anyone to have such a demon in their body. Yu Xu Han was the same, so he couldn't help but ask again.

After the man heard this, he was surprisingly silent. His eyes flashed like a blazing sun, and it took him a long time to say, "Darkness."

"Whether it's for this world or the Myriad Domains of the Universe, it's the darkest place."

"Is that why you let me live? Is it because once I am devoured by it, it will be quite troublesome for you?" Xu Han keenly grasped the crux of the matter. As he said this, a strange expression flashed in his eyes.

Xu Han was very grateful for the help of the man, but at the same time, after experiencing all the previous events, the youth's thoughts had changed slightly. He was unwilling to be the chess piece that anyone could pinch anymore. Since the man wanted him, or wanted him to do something, Xu Han naturally had to take advantage of the situation to rob him.

Although this was a bit shameless, an existence like a man, even if it was only a small benefit, was enough to save Xu Han countless troubles.

As for his thoughts, he naturally couldn't hide them from the man.

The man smiled bitterly and said, "You're smarter than most people."

"Then tell me what you want?" To Xu Han's surprise, the man did not feel the slightest bit angry because of Xu Han's thoughts. Instead, he asked in a very cooperative manner.

This surprised Xu Han, but for a moment, he was unable to say why.

What did he want?

He seemed to have been pursuing this question, his own destiny? Tong Tian's cultivation? A supreme power?

Is this really meaningful? Xu Han thought about the conversation between the man and the black-robed man as well as the credit-saber man. It seemed to him that this world that was already boundless was just a corner of the universe. Then, could everything that he possessed in this world really control his own destiny?

"You don't have to worry." Just as Xu Han was thinking about this, the man interrupted him. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't give you anything."

"As you can see, I've already broken the so-called rules. The reason I can temporarily suppress the opposition of those people is because I can grasp the limits of this. If I really do too much, those fellows will come and fight me to the death, and I won't feel better."

"Besides, if I really give you what you're thinking, it might not be a good thing for you." The man's eyes suddenly narrowed. The light in his eyes flashed, as if he could see through Xu Han's thoughts.

"Power? As you think, even if you control this world, you are still an ant in the eyes of others."

"Fate? The only one who can control fate is himself. I can't give it to you."

"As for cultivation…"

The man paused.

"In the Myriad Domains of the Starry Sky, which one of the trillion creatures doesn't want to possess such a thing, but most likely the cart before the horse."

"The Dao of Cultivation is not about strength, but the Dao."

"Every step is a scenery, every step is comprehension."

"Only by witnessing it with my own eyes can I understand its mysteries."

"Heavenly treasures, inheritance opportunities, or even a moment of glory, but the higher you go, the harder it will be for you to walk."

When the man said this, his tone was leisurely and his eyes were clear.

Xu Han was inexplicably close to him. He knew that the man was not lying to him.

These words were clearly his insights, not excuses.

Hence, Xu Han cupped his hands and bowed towards the other party, just as he was about to say thank you. However, the man did not reveal any signs of avoiding them at that time, and was unwilling to accept such a bow.

Seeing this, Xu Han was stunned. He was a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask further.

"But who am I?" Xu Han asked again.

"Good question." The man smiled. He seemed to enjoy Xu Han's question. "But I still can't give you the answer."

"Each of us is looking for who we are, where we come from, where we go, where we live, where we fight, and where we die."

"No one can tell anyone who you are. You have to find them yourself, and I sincerely hope that you can find them."

After the man finished speaking, the starlight in the sky suddenly darkened and lit up, as if something was urging him to leave this world.

The man shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Xu Han. He said, "I don't have much time left. Come, I'll help you solve the problem in front of you. Remember your promise and live well."

At this point, the man's hand suddenly stretched out, and the dragon qi that was linked between Xu Han and Qin Keqing suddenly began to surge.

"Do you want this?" The man blinked his eyes and asked.

Xu Han knew that he was talking about dragon qi. After thinking for a moment, the youth shook his head decisively.

"Very good." The man seemed to admire Xu Han's decision. He nodded. Xu Han's body trembled at that moment. He could clearly feel that the dragon qi in his body had been stripped from his body at that time, but it was only dragon qi. It would not cause any harm to his body.

In less than ten breaths, all the dragon qi in his body dissipated and poured into Qin Keqing's body.

After doing this, the man heaved a long sigh of relief, and the starlight in the sky became dimmer and dimmer. Even the light that condensed into his figure became dim and bright at that time.

At that time, the man snapped his fingers. Xu Han, who had just regained his senses, felt that the scene in front of him was dazzling and he appeared in the alley at the corner of Chang'an Street.

"It's also troublesome for you to stay there. Let them leave Chang'an." The man's voice sounded again.

Xu Han was stunned. Only then did he realize that there were actually two figures standing beside him. It was Su Mu'an and Ning Zhumang, who had already heard of his death. The two of them were obviously imprisoned in the same spot, and their expressions were filled with astonishment.

"Then are we leaving?" Xu Han looked up at the man and asked.

"Yes." The man nodded his head, his body flickering and brightening becoming more and more serious.

For some reason, Xu Han inexplicably felt a little reluctance from the man's gaze.

"You're using your sword?" Before Xu Han could speak, the man asked again.

"Huh?" This question clearly exceeded Xu Han's expectations. He was slightly stunned before replying, "Yes."

The man immediately smiled. A bright light flashed in his eyes. The sword shadow lotus flower beneath his feet suddenly retracted. The three thousand sword shadows disappeared into the pitch-black divine sword. He held the sword in his hand and smiled as he handed it over to Xu Han. "This is for you."

"This" Xu Han was stunned again. Although this sword had once again transformed into an ordinary appearance, Xu Han had witnessed the sharpness of this sword from the man's previous actions. Such a divine sword was probably not comparable to the Heavenly Punishment Sword chased by the people of the world. The man gave it to him so easily, but Xu Han did not know how to respond.

However, the man didn't care so much and directly stuffed the sword into Xu Han's hand.

His body grew dimmer and dimmer at that time. He looked at Xu Han with a smile like the spring breeze on his face.

"If one day you can go to Kunlun and take a look at what is hidden there, perhaps you will know who you are."

"On that day, I'll wait for you to fight alongside me in the Myriad Domains of the Starry Sky!"

"But you have to remember one thing. Who you are is never someone else's decision."

"Don't ask the heavens, ask the heart!"

After saying this, the man's figure finally disappeared completely in front of Xu Han, and the starlight in the sky suddenly extinguished at that time.

As the man left, time began to flow in this world once again.

A moment ago, Su Mu'an, who was still shocked by the sudden escape of his family's divine sword, discovered that Xu Han's figure had appeared in front of him at some unknown time, and the divine sword in his hand was suddenly that divine sword.

"Lord Manor Master! Why are you here? Are you alright?" The youth asked in surprise. There was no lack of worry on his face.

At that time, Xu Han's concern for the youth was unheard of. He raised his head and muttered to himself as he looked at the extinguished starlight in the sky.

"Tonight's starlight…"

"So beautiful…"
