82 Chop Chop Chop (1/2)

The bun-haired girl was shocked and angry at Arnin's ridiculous demand. She had to go and fight an Essence Manifest - Sky cultivator? She was barely able to fight against someone who was at Orb Birth - Heaven, let alone someone at Essence Manifest.

'This little demon is really pushing it. It seems that I may really die earlier than I want to.' She knew that she was no match for someone in Essence Manifest, even if that person was injured and tired. Of course, if all of her sisters were present and they were able to coordinate together against a single Essence Manifest cultivator, then it should be possible to fight one, but making a kill was still difficult.

Arnin looked at the bun-haired girl, and then back towards Jia. ”Come on, go and attack this person. I want to see how long he could hold.” Arninn didn't keep his voice down, allowing Jia and White to hear what he was saying.

”Don't act all high and mighty, little kid. Even if the both of you came at me together, I would win with ease.” Jia was a prideful person, so hearing Arnin's words made him extremely annoyed.

Arnin ignored Jia and continued to stare at the bun-haired girl, waiting for her to make a move. Seeing that she was still hesitating, Arnin tightened his grip. ”Uggh”

The painful moan of her sister reached the bun-haired girl's ears. Gritting her teeth, she walked towards Jia, her aura being released to the fullest.

Seeing this, Jia also stood straight, and looked at the bun-haired girl with cold, piercing eyes. He was angry with the fact that he would need to fight such a young girl. It was an insult to him that someone made such a weak person face him.

”You better watch out, little girl. I won't hold back.” He wasn't reminding her out of goodwill. He was doing it in order to show Arnin that the latter was being overconfident in his own skills.

”Hurry and attack him, girl.” Arnin ignored the taunts of Jia. It didn't really affect him since he could fight Jia and kill him if he needed, but he didn't want to waste too much energy. He would rather conduct a sneak attack, and kill him in an instant so that little energy would be wasted.

The bun haired girl walked forward. She didn't have a weapon on her since Arnin used her spear to create 'art' a little while ago. Right now, all she could depend on were her fists and legs.

As she slowly approached Jia, Arnin also made his way towards the woman laying on the ground. Jia of course noticed this, but he didn't do anything to stop him. He was confident that Arnin would not be able to help White, and even if the kid tried to help her, he would be able to stop him.

Just as Arnin reached White, the battle between Jia and the bun-haired girl began. Right from the beginning, the girl was at a disadvantage. It didn't matter how weak Jia was, he was still significantly stronger than the bun haired girl.

Arnin reached White and stood above her, looking directly at her face. The latter also looked at Arnin, not knowing what he truly wanted to do. ”Little boy, if you can help me, I will owe you. I can make sure that this old man won't do anything to you.”

Although she knew that helping her situation was near impossible, she still felt that if Arnin tried, then she could help him figure out a way to fix her up. But, that was only if Arnin agreed to help.

Arnin sat down right next to White with the unconscious girl laying beside him. ”White, that's your name right? Well, here's the thing, you are useless to me. You are weak, injured, and also stupid. Tell me, should I help someone like that?” Arnin's words caused White to become furious, but she calmed herself down. Right now, the only person who could help her was Arnin.

”Little kid, trust me. I am the only person who can bring you of this mess.” She continued to try to persuade him, but Arnin only smiled towards her.

”Oh little woman, do you really not understand anything? Let me repeat my words in a way you might understand. I don't need help.” Arnin continued to smile and watch the battle in front of him.

Bun haired girl was losing, however she wasn't in any danger of dying since the old Jia was also extremely tired. Arnin knew that his moment to attack would come quite soon, however he had to make sure that the bun haired girl wouldn't die since he still had some plans for her.

”Little White, let me ask you a question.” White looked at Arnin with her eyes brown furrowed. She felt displeased with the way Arnin referred to her, plus she didn't have any goodwill towards him since he would not help her. ”Have you heard of anything new lately?”

”What do you mean?” She further scrunched up her eyebrows, not completely understanding what Arnin meant.

Arnin lifted his hand, and picked up the sword beside White. He brought it up in front of him, and began to inspect it. ”Like, have you heard of anyone new making an appearance? Someone evil, someone good? Anyone?” Arnin continued to question her while gazing at the sword.

White saw Arnin pick up her sword, making her heart vigilant. 'What is this kid trying to do?'

”I have heard of a few things. I have been traveling alone, and have not encountered too many people, but I have heard a couple things. There seems to be a woman with the title 'Death Lore' roaming the battlefield. Another person named, 'Peasant Fu'...” She continued to list out the titles of many famous killers and people throughout the battlefield. Arnin firmly kept the names in his mind, however he continued to wait.

White spoke more and more and then suddenly, she remembered something. ”Also, there was another person who recently rose to prominence, but of course, he is still considered a little weak. His title I think was… 'Demonic Joker'. Yeah, this person is supposedly the most evil out of the many famous people, and he also seems to be very young.”

Arnin nodded his head, his crimson hair swaying. ”Good. Now, can you tell me what you know about this so called most evil 'Demonic Joker'?”

”Well, he is extremely young, and kills people who are only in Orb Birth. His methods, however, are quite savage and ruthless. Every victim is brutally tortured before death, or is even occasion is left to suffer after being tortured. He supposedly has purple eyes and...red hai--” As she continued to speak, her eyes slowly widened.

Arnin's demonic purple eyes looked at her calmly, however this calm gaze caused the hairs on White's neck to rise. The infamous 'Demonic Joker' was extremely well known. Although everyone knew that he was still very weak, most tried to avoid him since he was so ruthless. Even the strongest had heard of his name.

”You really are a slow person.” Arnin shook his head before lifting the blade and pointing it towards White's pale neck. ”Now then, should I kill you or not?”

”N-no, please don't kill me. Don't kill me. I am strong. I can help you kill this Jia person. Please!” White begged, but she couldn't move so she simply stared at Arnin's neck. She couldn't see his menacing smile.

”Ahh!” Suddenly, a scream came from the surroundings. Arnin looked over and found that the bun haired girl was just hit on her arm extremely hard. A bruise instantly appeared, plus if one looked closely, they would notice that all of her fingers were in weird positions. She was heavily injured.
