Chapter 72

Ah! My Leg!

Chu Shen and Lucas appeared suddenly on a beautiful mountain with other mountains surrounding it. While the mountain was large and greenery abounded everywhere, they were at the very top where only desolate rock was around until you went further down the mountain.

Directly in front of them was a man in dire straits. He wore a robe that, though tattered, exuded the appearance of n.o.bility. It had holes and burn marks on it, revealing the tarnished metal armor underneath.

The man was facing away from them, looking down the mountain side. “I finally lost them. Thank G.o.d, I can finally rest now……” He suddenly stiffened as though he sensed something.

Turning around he saw Chu Shen and Lucas staring at him.

“He doesn’t seem that scary Chu Shen.” Lucas spoke up, breaking the awkward silence. Immediately like a cat that had its tail stepped on, the man jumped backwards, floating in the air.

“I don’t know how you got here without me finding out, but you will never get the Yin-Yang gloves.” Immediately a black glove appeared around his right hand and a white glove around his left hand.

He punched his two fists together and as they drew apart a Yin-Yang symbol in the shape of a ball appeared growing bigger and bigger.

Chu Shen immediately recognized the danger. “Lucas, get away, NOW!” Circulating his qi, a s.h.i.+eld appeared in the air between them. It was circular and had chinese script on it.

Lucas didn’t react very fast. At least, not until his HUD lit up with warnings of a ma.s.sive power surge. Immediately he activated his s.h.i.+elds and tried to run away.

“Hey hey! Why are you trying to kill us all of a sudden! We were just out going for a walk and suddenly you attack us! What gives!” Lucas yelled out.

“Hah! Like I would believe such gilded words! Take the first cycle of yin-yang you sc.u.m!” The man yelled.

Chu Shen manipulated the s.h.i.+eld to be in between Lucas and the man. He himself released a gray energy around him, coating himself in Qi like all those in the martial realm can do.

The man released the yin-yang ball which by now was twice the size of a man. The ball flew forward and hit the s.h.i.+eld Chu Shen constructed. It pa.s.sed through without even slowing down, though it did reduce in size slightly.

The ball quickly flew towards Lucas. As he saw it coming he tried to dodge by jumping into the air but unfortunately this ball was as fast as lightning! It hit Lucas, destroying his forcefield and incinerating his leg.

The man frowned at this. If they were truly trying to capture him then they would have brought someone more powerful. “Why would they seek me out with such weak strength.” He murmured. Then he saw something that stunned him.

Lucas fell to the ground and grabbed at his stump of a leg. “Ahhh! You b*stard! Do you know how long it’s going to take to make a new leg huh! Not to mention I don’t even know if I can make a new one in these conditions!”

Sparks came out of his leg and bits of metal dangled out of it. The man’s jaw dropped at the sigh. Pointing at Lucas’ leg he stuttered. “W-wh-what the h.e.l.l is that!”
