Chapter 63 - New visitor (1/2)
Hao Xuan was silently prowling along the tree branches when he suddenly heard a loud wooshing sound from above. He looked up and saw several dots getting bigger and bigger.
”Hmm? The hell is that?” he thought inwardly and stopped moving completely. The noise got louder and louder until bam!
*Crash*
Four loud crashing sounds came from all around him and everything went silent.
”Come out,” said a loud voice authoritatively. Hao Xuan stayed still and didn't make a move or the slightest of sounds.
”You triggered a trap when you entered the jungle. Every move you made was seen by us. There is no use hiding, we came especially for you. Our boss wants to talk to you. Come out quietly otherwise we WILL have to break a few bones for the extra work you'll make us put in,” said another voice but this one sounded much younger.
”Trap my ass, they're bluffing,” Hao Xuan still didn't make a move.
*Sigh*
”Go get him,” said the first once again and Hao Xuan went on full alert.
”Yes,” a third voice from Hao Xuan's left said and he suddenly heard a cracking sound. He looked to the left and saw a giant hand just a few feet away from him.
”WHAT!?!” without hesitating he took out a sword and channeled some Qi into and slashed at the hand with full force.
*BOOM*
As soon as his slash connected with the hand, it exploded but the hand continued towards him uninterrupted.
”The hell is it made off,” Hao Xuan's heartbeat quickened and he completely gave up trying to hide and jumped out of the cluster of tree's and into an opening nearby.
As soon as he landed on the ground four figures also silently appeared on each side, surrounding him completely.
”Who are you? What do you want? I don't have any money,” Hao Xuan furrowed his brow looking at the hooded figures and kept the sword right in front of him in a defensive position. ”So these are the people that bandit was talking about? Damn, he wasn't kidding about them being big,” he thought inwardly, now actually getting worried.
”What do you mean? We are the local bandits,” one of the figures sniggered.
”So are you coming with us or will you continue to waste time?” asked the biggest of the four.
”I will, as soon as you prove you can back up your bullshit,” Hao Xuan turned and looked at the one who had just spoken.
”Fine, let's get this over with quick. Monk, break his legs,” the figure said and the one to the left of Hao Xuan started walking towards him.
”Monk? You? Alright,” without wasting any more words he stored the sword and took out the glaive.
”Oho, that's not something you see often. You a soldier as well?” Monk took off his hood and showed his face.
”Hm? Jia?” Hao Xuan frowned.
