1187 Duel 1 (2/2)

The white pleasure boat was straight towards the both of them swiftly. Two figures could be seen standing at the bow of the boat from afar.

One of them had his arms crossed around his chest. He was tall and muscular with a doctor's white coat draped over his suit that was being blown by the sea breeze, which made him neither fish nor fowl.

”That's very fast…” Yuria's expression panicked.

”What?”

Turning around, Yurijie saw the two people on the pleasure boat.

The other person was selectively ignored by the sibling duo as their focus was entirely upon the Root Doctor, Jiatai.

Faraway, Root Doctor greeted them with a wave of his hand, smiling.

”No, not here! There are too many people here! The innocent will be hurt!” Yuria looked around. The horrible sight of police's corpses lying everywhere came to mind and his heart fell. The unscrupulous behavior of Vulture's men definitely left an impression on him.

”Xiaojie, go find Brother Saber. Give Galouro a call too and tell him the situation over here, I'll handle the Root Doctor!” Yuria said firmly.

”No!” Yurijie was alarmed, ”I want to be with you…””Listen to me!” She was straight away cut off mid-sentence, and Yuria had never looked so serious before.

”Don't worry, I've been through so many miserable trainings just to be ready for this day!”

”Brother…!” Yurijie exclaimed with concern.

”Go quickly!”

Yuria pushed his sister and started marching towards the part of the beach in the distant where there were lesser people.

Yurijie gritted her teeth, this had already happened, all she could do was to find Garen and the others as soon as possible to save her brother on time.

Getting up, she swiftly ran in the direction of Nine-Tailed Fox's villa by the sea.

********************

”What! The Root Doctor is here?!” Garen stood up, blurting out in shock. He stared at Yurijie who was panting in front of him. Nine-Tailed Fox and the others were still in the room discussing details as he leaned against the doorframe outside to take a breather. Just when he was starting to feel bored, he saw Yurijie, who was invited along, running towards him. The moment she approached him, she blurted out the distressing news.

”Yuria went alone?” He pulled out two of his long sabers and asked solemnly.

”Yeah, Brother says he'll be fine himself, but I'm still worried…” Yurijie's face was full of concern.

”Lead the way.”

Garen was silent. It was still uncertain whether the Savior really did grow up. In the event they were unexpectedly messed by Vulture's men, all their previous hard work would be wasted. One of the reincarnation characteristics of the Four Great Cornerstones was that once one dies, one would have his or her memories wiped out and would not remember one's identity.

Therefore, the only way to maintain his relationship with the Savior was to ensure that Yuria did not die.

Both of them left the villa quickly. On the way, Garen used his mobile phone to contact Nine-Tailed Fox and the others. They, too, soon caught up.

Not long after, sounds of metal clashing from a distance could be heard.

Without hesitation, both of them darted straight in the direction of the sound's source. They were getting nearer to the place where the battle was going on.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, waves of sand blew up in front of Garen, nicely blocking his and Yurijie's path.

They instantly paused in their tracks and raised their hands to block the sand from getting into their eyes.

After the sand fell to the ground, a one-eyed man dressed in a blue, military uniform appeared before the two of them.

The man was expressionless and had silver, short hair, the white gloves he was wearing was illuminating under the midday sun.

”Vulture No.7, Yindu.”

He bowed his head slightly, it was a sort of etiquette, a courtesy to an opponent.

”Get out of the way or die!” Sword in hand, Garen's face darkened.

”Die?” The corners of Yindu's mouth raised slightly into a smirk. ”You can try.”

Hiss…

In a flash, Garen lunged forward, dragging a long print on the sand with his feet. In a blink of an eye, the saber appeared in his hands and lashed out.

Swoosh!!

The silver arc instantly struck Yindu's neck.

The breeze from the blade blew the short hair on Yindu's temples. He raised his arm suddenly and grabbed the saber's blade.
