Chapter 400 - Mysteries of Mysterious Maze (part-4) (2/2)

That was his entire world and this was all he knew, his friend and him against the entire world, even against those mean people who would sometimes see him and try to heart him, and his friend would save him.

The thought of his friend warmed his heart as well as saddened him, his friend always saved his life helped him around for that he was grateful yet at the same time the thought that he was practically useless to help his friend in any way made him sad.

He climbed the tree as he plucked a good few apples which he shared with his friend when all of a sudden an obnoxious came to his ears, ”Oh look here, it is the cripple your brother.”

The child looked at the speaker, who was followed by five more other people, along with a haughty looking woman who sniffed in disdain as if she had stepped on a pile of dung as she spoke, ”Shen you maybe my fiancé but if you insinuate that dirty filth as my brother I would break off my engagement with you.”

”Ah sorry my Goddess for offending you, is there anything I could do to placate your anger?”

The woman who looked almost exactly like the child albeit in her late teenage years looked at the child with a cruel smile on her face, ”Well I do not understand why my foolish father did not allow us to kill him, and I, unfortunately, was made to promise not to kill him directly or indirectly but I never did promise not to harm him, so be a dear and break his legs and arms then make him crawl on the ground.”

The rabbit hissed and the child knew that it was time for him to run, as such he did he ran as fast as his tiny legs could carry, with his friend following soon after.

”Get him.”, the male shouted as rest of the companions went after him fast.

A searing pain erupted from his legs as he fell on the ground hard, an unholy scream erupted from his throat.

~thunk~ ~thunk~ ~thunk~

The sound of a sharp-edged object hitting the flesh was heard as the child wailed in pain as tears fell from his eyes, he did not know why he was being treated like this but he knew he wanted it to stop.

”My my look at him lying on the floor, the perfect place for a waste of good air cripple like him.”

The man spoke as others laughed at the prone form of the child as he looked up he felt them looking down at him as one of them stepped forward and callously tore of the arrows embedded in his flesh.

”Damn now I have to wash this perfectly good arrow, ugh the cripple's blood tainted it.”

Before the person could speak any longer a snow-white creature jumped and latched onto his throat stunning everyone but it did not last long a sabre strike later the child watched his friend fall into two.

”A mid-Houtian beast dared to raise its jaws against us peak Houtian cultivators, death is too good for him.”, Shen growled in anger.

The child looked in a daze at his friend that lay on the floor, its life liquid flowing on the ground as the archer quickly applied medicine to his injuries to stop bleeding before he glared balefully at the quite unmoving child.

”Brother Shen let me deal with this piece of shit.”

Shen simply shrugged as he went to standby his fiancée's side as he spoke, ”Well as long as you make it entertaining.”

The man went and picked up the child that was looking forward with his eyes glazed as he slapped him hard, ”Wake up, you brain dead idiot.”

The child looked up at the smirking face of the person who sneered at him as he spoke, ”What is this looking up towards your betters.”

He c.o.c.ked his hand back to hit the child, when all of a sudden an inhuman aura hit him hard, he looked fearfully at the child whose eyes seemed to have changed completely, ”Xian…”, was all he could stutter out as his hand was broken and punch tore his head from the shoulder as he collapsed dead.

The child fell on the floor as it let out an inhuman roar before his vision turned black.

It felt so nice, and warm as he opened his eyes he was greeted by the smiling face of the most beautiful creature that he had ever seen, and she was smiling down at him, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, amongst them were red strands of hair that looked like blood being mixed, the person looked at him with relief as she spoke, ”That was some wakening of your Divine Body, I have never seen something like that….”, as the woman rambled on and on the child tilted his head in confusion.

The blushed at that as she spoke, ”Ahh, where are my manners, my name is.....”

Ryuu opened his eyes with a gasp as he looked a curious face of Frost Flames looking down at him as she spoke, ”Are you alright Ryuu you seemed to be having some form of nightmare.”

For instance, a look of annoyance flickered in his eyes as he spoke with a small cough, ”Well I was simulating a battle in my head nothing more.”, while inwardly he groaned, 'Damn it I was so close to learning that woman's name and someone had to intervene, even if her hair was black and not the normal silver colour that I have seen, I can bet my life that it was her.'

Ryuu stretched himself as he stood up before he spoke with a small smile, ”Well since we are all done resting if I were to believe then I hope you do not mind if I took a look at the powder that caused us to sneeze so much.”

”Why?”, was the question that was thrown to him from one of the cultivators as Ryuu smirked towards him as he spoke, ”I simply had the urge to make every Preta realm cultivator acquainted to it.”

As many groaned upon hearing his words, Ryuu simply moved towards the source of his sneezing problem, with a large smile on his face.
