The crowds were already beyond shocked, they had witnessed too much in quite the short span of time, but what happened in front of them could be labeled as the weirdest actions, they had seen anyone do .
Tian Long suddenly shuttled among the crowds, to the normal people they saw him appear behind the ones attacking him, but for those who had keen eyesight, they would have been able to see that Tian Long, like a ghost kept shuttling through these guys in a skillful manner and that wasn't all .
Every time he seemed to be passing a person, he would suddenly extended his hand and pat that guy a few times, not punishing, not killing them, just rubbing his hand on their bodies and then he would look for the next target .
For an even more experienced eyes, Tian Long's actions and the spots where he was rubbing his hands on the bodies of those guys, one would be able to tell that even though he was doing it gently, his actions were very much ruthless .
He was blocking all the nodes and meridians inside their bodies, forcing them to be unable to use Blood Qi and even managing to keep their conscious was difficult .
One after another, all of them fall down and Gu Xing and the bystanders seeing this, they couldn't help but feel a sudden chilly aura engulfing all of them in it, some are more so than the others, Gu Xing's body quivered slightly and he tried to urge those guys to move again .
Squeezing that weird paper his hand, he was shocked to see that there was actually no reaction whatsoever, he kept asking loudly about what exactly was going on, but not a single person know what exactly was he yapping about, not many people had managed to see him do what he did before .
But Tian Long who was the reason behind him becoming hysterical like this, know that Gu Xing should have become aware that these dame cocoons he left feeding on these guys vitality and creating threads that had engulfed their organs and bones and would have eventually ended up either consuming them or maybe controlling them had now been rendered usless.
Gu Xing was completely unable to come in terms with that, but as for giving up, he was still far from doing that, he looked at the City Guards and instantly cursed them for not having already called for reinforcement, urging them to surround me was usless .
The only thing he wanted to do now is to bring his advantage in numbers back, as for the loss of lives, the huge disturbance that doing something like these might cause, he neither cared nor had any intention to do so .
That guy's was pampered and was hailed as the City alchemy genius from young age, he didn't even look to be older than a guy in his 20, but all this only made his character rotten to the core, he completely disregarded human lives and already gave himself the right to decide those who he deemed less important than him fate .
But today he happened to hit a steel plate that he had not been able to find a way to deal with him, even with all of his plots and evil methods, so his only resort now was to call for help from someone who should be even stronger .
The fireworks were directly fired into the bright sky, all of them had unleashed the summoning signals they have in hands, just as they did, Tian Long gave them one stare and associated that stare with what he had they see him do till now, they made their bodies shudder and some of them directly fled the place .
How about we end matters here, I don't believe that a genius like you want to be buried here, am I wrong ? .
You don't need to worry yourself much about that wretched guy, you had already traumatized him and clouded his heart with hatred, I don't believe that his Master will continue to invest in him any further .
As for him, well, he can forget about achieving much in either Martial Arts or alchemy, what do you say, shall we call it a day ? .
Heng Wu tried to mediate and ease the tension, seeing that Tian Long was directly heading towards Gu Xing without stopping, after all he was employed and came here to make sure that Gu Xing will stay alive, even though he himself had a quite strong bad opinion on that guy .
The sound of an arrow being fired was heard and another bod dropped on the floor, injured, but still breathing, Tian Long looked at the people in the whole area before focusing his attention on Heng Wu, he said :
" So you want me to give him my neck to cut or something, did you see the arrow just now, once it was fired, do you think that it could be returned to the bow again ? .
Tian Long tried to urge his Soul Power and raised one of the poisoned arrow that had fallen around him and let it hover in front of him, then he said :
" Well, if you know the right method to use and if you had enough strength, you might be actually able to do it, but will the consequences of drawing it from the start being completely forgotten or wiped out, I don't believe so .
Pointing at the injured guy laying down and barely breathing, all the people who were present, find themselves nodding, even though most of them don't have a clue about what Martial Arts even is .
Heng Wu looked at me and he simply frowned before looking at the Alchemy Sacred Hall pavilion at lest what was visible from all the way here and he said while shaking his head :
I don't think that I'm ready to indulge in a life-death fight with these crazy guys, no thank you .
I also believed that I had already paid for the favors that I owed you by stopping him from dying twice, I'm out of here .
Hey kid, I like your character, it's just that people who tend to win everytime, are more prone to get arrogant with the passing time, so do remember this as long as you don't want to end like that good-for-nothing brat .
Heng Wu wasn't talking to the air, a guy directly came out of the pavilion and it was a pale guy like a corpse and he had a flame mark between his eyebrows, even though his face looked elegant and youthful still, his eyes showed a deep sense of maturity that can't be associated with those that belonged to the younger generation .
We are greeting the Master .
I'm greeting the Hall Master .
Even the arrogant Gu Xing couldn't keep his air of superiority and directly bowed his head as well, but he didn't made an all the way arch like the other elders .
The bowing down and greeting also wasn't a thing exclusive for only those who worked at the Hall, all the people except for me and Li Bian bowed down and greeted .
An old rough and solemn voice sounded in the ears of everyone present, it was like the sound of rocks clashing with one another, but its impact was apparent, almost no other voice or sound could be heared across the area .
Just from those guys way of greeting and the respect they had shown to this newcomer, not to mention that they mostly had already introduced him, this guy was the Master overseeing this alchemy hall .
What is going on here, why is there much ruckus here, disperse .
The crowds heard this and like a flock of sheep, they directly get out of the place, even going as far as to push each other out of the way, then this guy turquoise eyes locked into mine, but just briefly, but even this simply stare made me feel as if there was a mountain on my back .
If not for the still rushing Blood Qi in my veins, I might have collapsed directly on the floor, what exactly did he do, my suspense didn't continue for long, since my answers were already answered a few seconds with Li Bian saying :
Shouldn't you feel ashamed for having pulled such a trick on a junior, not to mention that you have even failed, but what if had succeeded, could your hall able the responsibility for this, Hall Master Yang Mo .
Yang Mo :
And what kind of responsibility will that be, at most when you will come to hold me responsible, I will sent out a few pills of the same value as any other slave and you could just forgot about all of it .
Uncle Li :
Maybe that's how things work in your so-called Alchemy Holy Land, but we are in the Solid Rock Fist Dojo might not be better than others in anything other than perhaps that we would always keep grudges and sooner or later we would repay them all doubled or even hundredfold .
The man called Yang Mo furrowed his eyebrows and squinted his eyes at us, but after Heng Wu left, Uncle Li had already came and stood right beside me, I was able to feel how tense the situation was from the fact that Uncle Li seemed to be not willing to go ahead and attack .
This guy's suddenly intervene left a bad taste in my mouth, I very much began to suspect that Gu Xing might be able to escape dying today .
That guy called Yang Mo, he was actually a Spiritualist, before his attack was actually a Soul attack, he seem to be quite experienced in this depart as well, his face didn't show much emotion which made believe that his attack just now wasn't his full strength, but I still feel that I could injure him if I were to go all out, I still have a triumph card in the end .
But he seemed to sense that as well, otherwise he might have already tried to deal a finishing blow right then, but he retreated on his own, so he too was cautious about me .
So what exactly brought you here, did you come here looking for a fight, if you are, then we aren't interested in such things, this place is for those who want actual business with us .
Uncle Li took a deep breath and forced himself to swallow his anger, but his killing intent was flashing all over his body, any second now and he might truly attack the taunting man in front of us, but in the end he seemed to recall where we were and why did we come here and said :
Is that true, well it seem that your so-called Young Saint had preferred to make this place a fighting ring or something instead of doing business, not only that but he actually become a mad dog and even dared to bite at those who came her to do business .
Yang Mo :
Is that true Gu Xing ? .
Gu Xing eyes looked quite fierce as he pointed us and started to recount everything that happened from his own point of view, of course, mixing truths with lies and so and so and he didn't even show a slight change of expression .
After he finished explaining that we are basically came here asking for trouble, Yang Mo raised an eyebrow and again turned towards us and said :
Did you really came here looking for troubles, well then I guess you got what you deserved, you can leave now, I thought you were here to discuss something regarding the re-establish of the trading relationship between our two forces, since that's is already dealt with I believe that you had no other business here, I will be merciful enough to let you go back .
Uncle Li raised an eyebrow as I stepped in front of him and said :
" I don't care about who you are, but today I'm not going to leave this place untill this bastard behind you give me an explanation for what he said regarding being responsible for my Master getting injured .
Oh and what kind of explanation you would like to get, I'm aware of what you are talking about and we did sell the poison, but how our clients use it is of no business of ours, I believe this is a good enough explanation, I'm still merciful enough to indulge in this conversation with a little brat like you, but be wary of misunderstanding this as showing weakness .
If I wanted, even if you had a hundred lives over, you will need to leave them here today and I might even let the greaviances here today go and seeing how talented the young people in your dojo are, I might rethink of establishing a relationship between us again .
Hall Master Yang... .
" Oh, how generous of you and here I thought that you guys here are all good-for-nothing, useless people, someone with a brain actually appeared .
A tick mark appeared on Yang Mo forehead and his smile twitched a little and became a bit ugly as he looked deeply at me with a frown on his face, but soon he continued to say while motioning for Gu Xing to calm down :
That offer of course will need you to pay an equivalent heavy price, otherwise, there would be no reason for us to bear such a humiliation as what had happened before, don't you think ? .
" I truly wonder, what exactly elder Yang have in mind for me .
Your name is Tian Long, right ? .
Nodding at him with a suspicious look on my face, since his question caught me a bit off guard, he then continued to say :
Well, since neither of your Master was willing to show up and saw much sincerity and even his sworn brother was the same even though he showed up, I would like for you to kneel in front of the Alchemy Hall for 3 days and 3 night and you will also need to apologize for your insolence today, what do you say ? .
Do that and not only will the relationship between us be re-established once again, but I might even remove you from the forbidden list, you kneeling is a small price to pay, don't you think ? .
After hearing his proposal clearly, I fell into a deep thought but that only continued for no more than 3 to 4 seconds, before my pride get all fired up and I seem to have heard the roar of a dragon sounding in my ears and after that, the thought about kneeling down was completely replaced with a crazy and more dangerous thought .
I looked at the cold and calculative eyes of Yang Mo and after a while passed in silence, I finally gave my answer, without even needing to say anything else, I directly urged my Soul Weapon Projection and unleashed its power completely, targeting the stupid Gu Xing cowering behind Yang Mo .
The latter was quick to react and after yelling at me for daring to do such a thing as attacking when he was offering me an olive branch currently, but his expression was tense and he seemed to be very much worried and nervous after he sensed the fluctuations released from the current me .
He directly start making hand gestures and a shield made of spirit power and was supported by Soul Power manifested in a golden turning shield, but even though it looked quite strong, the second it came in contact with my Soul Weapon Projection, it was directly cracked down and it instantly collapsed .
Gu Xing didn't suffer much damage as due to our clashing, Yang Mo was the one to bear the burn and his face instantly become pale and he even had traces of blood on his lips, it seem that he was hit quite hard .
But I still felt my heart palpitations and bad premonition both still exist, this guy was hiding something up his sleeves, the trick he used to conjure that shield from before was already quite strong and made me curious about what other methods he still might have .
But now wasn't the time to dwell on this, even though my soul power was stronger than before, it wasn't enough to support me using that move any more than one time and after that I will fall in a weakend state for a while .
Now there shouldn't be a problem in getting out of here with Uncle Li's help of course, but it really seemed that I would need to forsake getting revenge on those guys for today at least, but even though we were already retreating, he didn't dare to do anything to stop us weirdly .
I had waken up the guys on the floor and told them about my plans to heal them, but they will need to cut ties with the Alchemy Sacred Hall and thanks to Gu Xing cursing them now and back then, they didn't even hesitate for a second, before they had bowed down in front of me and said :
We greet Young Master, if you saved us, then whether it's through fire or even a mountain of swords, if Young Master willed it we would do our best .
Seeing them like this, Yang Mo seemed to be aware of how dangerous their state was and he looked at me with ridicule as if not believing that there is anything that I can do, I looked at Gu Xing whose face was pale as sheet of paper and said pointing at him :
" Don't forget to wash that neck of yours and have it become ready for when I will come back to claim it .
Just worry about surviving until then, wise people in the past had this say about how tall trees are struck by lightening, you might be such a person .
