45 Everyone jumping into the fray (1/2)
As Xiao Xing went up to the stage, the audience seemed quite interested. She was like a small angel who entered the cruel world. She was confused unsure of where to run too. Before the boss could even say anything, someone already shouted.
”500MU!”
”600Mu.”
...
Without the boss even saying anything, the bidding war had already started. This was nothing new as occasionally he would get people just like her. He just let nature takes it's course and allowed the bid to continue. Suddenly a large blade of energy cut through from the side of the stage dividing the line between the girl and the audience.
”NONE SHALL TOUCH HER!”
”You should be focusing on me!”
From the back a sinister voice could be heard. The walls besides the stage broke and a boy was shot through like a cannonball from the side. That boy was of course Xin Fan. Climbing up from the stairs was a man in a striking black jacket wearing a plain mask.
”Brother Xin Fan!”
Xin Fan slowly climbed up to his feet with the help of his scythe and re positioned himself. There was great panic in the audience. Even they could tell that this should not be happening and scattered outwards hoping that they can come back later after the organizers dealt with it.
”Huo Ming what is this?”
Huo Ming thrusted his dagger straight at Xin Fan attempting to land a blow to his vitals.
”Sorry boss. I failed. He was never brainwashed in the first place.”
”What?...”
”He managed to fool us once so he can do so once again. As you say, cut weeds from the roots.”
”You are right.”
The boss slowly started to release qi from his body. A image of a bear slowly started to manifest around him. He shifted his feet ever so slightly and instantly moved to the center of the stage. He lifted his arms over Xin Fan preparing to smash down. At the same moment, from the crowd, a large hooded figure took off a spear from his back. He prepared a throw charging it full of qi and threw it straight at the stage. The boss's fist was blocked by a force from an unknown object. Suddenly, a hooded figure appeared in front of him. Catching the spear as it lost the built up energy, the figure spun around kicking the boss in the stomach, sending him flying. The boss coughed up a mouthful of blood.
”W...who are you?”
The hooded figure took of the hood to reveal his face. Xin Fan gasped as he turned around to look at his savior. No, this was not because he recognized him. It was because of the killing intent his person was leaking. That is, the killing intent leaked by Jun Fan.
”You've got some nerve to touch my student.”
”I'm not even your stud...”
”Shhh....don't mind the small details.”
Although during the short interaction Jun Fan acted as he usually would, Xin Fan could feel something sinister hiding right underneath. Jun Fan dashed forwards flashing 10 meters at a time preventing the boss from moving anywhere. A single move from the boss could spell 'game over' for Xin Fan. Jun Fan wielded the spear with finesse. Each strike was aimed at either the throat, heart or stomach. His hands were overlayed with the image of reptilian claws as he occasionally closed in and tried to grab the throat.
”Men! Don't let them escape!”
