45 Everyone jumping into the fray (2/2)

Although currently preoccupied, he could still call for his underlings to surround them. Horde's of men coming from every corner. They held an assortment of weapons from daggers to swords to clubs. Soon he and Xiao Xing was surrounded with more than 20 men including Huo Ming. Xin Fan, the boy who couldn't even handle Huo Ming when he was still in the mid tier condensation realm is now faced with Huo Ming who broke through with the help of more than a dozen helpers. Jun Fan was busy stalling the boss and he still had to protect the girl. As all hope seemed to be lost, a white mist like substance started to fill up the stage. Most of the men except for Xin Fan and Huo Ming, fell to their knees. The men who didn't started to sweat a lot and felt a lot weaker. Xin Fan did not feel anything but he already felt that this was something familiar.

”Did you forget me Xin Fan?”

A voice sounded uncomfortably close behind him. Xin Fan recognized this battle crazed voice anywhere. He quickly jumped forwards to avoid a swing.

”Looks like you didn't get rusty.”

”Chilong...Why are you here?”

”Geez, haven't seen you in a week and this is your reply? You hurt me.”

Chilong grinned cheekily as he looked around at the gang members. They seemed to be quite unnerved at the appearances of multiple enemies.

”You just tried to hit me!”

”Come on. I had to, I finally managed to control this essence thing so he let me out just for this battle. I mean, If I wasn't here you would be in quite some trouble.”

”I'll be fine!”

Xin Fan haven't had this sort of heated conversation in quite some time. Of course, despite being quite grateful for Chilong's entrance, he would never admit to it. Doing so was just asking for another afternoon spent fighting. Although at this point, Xin Fan felt like he would still be doing that anyway.

”Brat...looks like you have a helper.”

”Chilong...let me fight this one...I have some unfinished business with him.”

With the appearance of Chilong, the tension really seemed to have dropped. He turned around and swung his scythe at Huo Ming forcing him off the stage and onto the now empty yard. Xin Fan hopped off the stage and once again turned around to Chilong.

”I can trust you to protect Xiao Xing right? If I see a single scratch, don't even think about asking for a fight ever again.”

”Don't worry. How hard can it be to protect one girl.”

Chilong took out his new axe and slammed it down making a large split on the floorboards. He then turned around to the remaining people who were still managed to stay standing. They were all mid tier however now they could barely muster 70% of their full power.

”Umm...Are you Brother Xin Fan's friend?”

”Hmm...Of course. My family name is Hei, given name Chilong. You can call me Brother Hei. Just put in a good word for Brother Xin Fan for me okay. Maybe a few words like, 'He was very strong' or 'Had a interesting fighting style'.”

”Un...Okay Brother Hei.”

”That's a good girl.”

Chilong gave off a bright smile before turning to to his opponents. He raised up his axe coating it in a thick pure white Qi. He sneered at his enemies as he did so.

”You Mongrels. This king has reached 4th stage at the age of 5. Come at me!”
