92 I Saved One of You (1/2)
Back in the spectating area for the Gold arena, there was a group of people sitting around a single young man. His face was covered in a frown as he looked at the shredded body of Yinsa. His eyes contained a bit of sorrow and a great amount of hatred.
”Go and find that kid and bring him to me. I have to destroy his body and torture his soul for laying a hand on my woman.” This young man was Fxi, ranked thirty-one out of the top one hundred. Although Yinsa wasn't his woman, she was someone he saw as his. Plus, they grew up in the same town, so he knew her quite well.
The people around him nodded their heads and chased after Arnin and his group. Not only did this group of people run after Arnin, but there was also Relshe and his friend Srida who followed the latter as well.
They were still set on having Arnin join their group, especially since his strength was no lower than theirs, and possibly even higher.
---------------------------------------------------
Arnin walked slowly as Sinfallel and Canae followed closely. Both of the girls had different expressions on their faces. Sinfallel looked at Arnin in disgust and hatred, while Canae was thinking back to the two times Arnin used the double-bladed staff. Although she felt a seething hatred for Arnin, there was little point in thinking about it since she was already his slave.
She wanted to use this opportunity to get stronger, and she actually felt that Arnin was actually trying to do just that.
”Master, you gave me this weapon and also told me to watch you use it twice. I was wondering if you could explain why this is.” She was feeling extremely irritated because she didn't know why she was being helped by the person she wanted to kill the most. If he was trying to win her over, then why did he kill her sister and mentally torture her? There were multiple ways to win her over, and those were not it.
Arnin turned his head and looked at Canae. His eyes turned sharp before he stopped walking. Both of the girls also stopped walking and looked at Arnin nervously.
”Seems like we are being followed. Slave, now it is time for me to see if you have had any improvements. We are being followed by multiple Essence Manifest cultivators, with some Orb Birth cultivators in the group as well. I want you to kill those Orb Birth cultivators on your own. Even if you are losing I won't help you. Consider this an opportunity or death sentence.”
Arnin walked towards the girls and then stood in front of them. Lifting his hand, he knocked out Sinfallel and threw her on the ground. ”Your goal is to protect her from dying. Let's see how well you do. Hehe.” This time Canae didn't show any expression on her face when she saw Arnin knock her sister out.
She was glad that Arnin didn't do anything else and only knocked her out. With a nod of her head and stood behind Arnin, waiting for the people. As a slave, she could not deny Arnin anything.
'Let's see how well you fare.” Although it had barely been a dozen minutes since they left the Cave Temple zone, he needed to see how much Canae comprehended in that time. If she met his expectations he would think about saving her if she was about to fall, but if she didn't meet up to his standards, then he could only sigh at his own misjudgment.
A few minutes went by and Arnin saw about ten people coming. Eight of those were Essence Manifest Cultivators, while two were at Orb Birth - Heaven.
Even though he would be facing lots of people, Arnin didn't really feel much pressure. All of them were at Essence Manifest - Sky with one being at Earth, but he could handle them.
”Let's begin.” With a push, he leaped towards the group of people. He pulled out a small dagger from his clothes which he got by killing a person before entering the Cave Temple zone.
The group also saw Arnin coming and all them were shocked. ”How the hell did he notice us?” One of them yelled this out, but they had no time to spare.
They pulled their weapons out and rushed towards Arnin. Canae also joined the battle and started to attack the two Orb Birth cultivators.
--------
The group fought with great fervor. Arnin had already killed the Essence Manifest - Earth cultivator by stabbing him in the head. He also slew a couple of the Sky realm ones as well, but the few that were left did not back off.
He glanced at Canae who was covered in lacerations and bruises, however, he noticed that she was barely holding her own against the two cultivators.
Deciding to ignore her for now, Arnin continued to rampage in the group fight. A dagger in one hand, while a sword he robbed from the Earth realm cultivator in the other, he was like a demon.
In the distance, Relshe and Srida watched everything with their mouths agape. They felt a shiver run down their spines as they watched the fight. ”This kid, he really deserves his title as the Demonic Joker. He is clearly much stronger than both of us.” Relshe felt the scene was a little surreal.
He knew that Arnin was extremely strong, but not this much. They began to contemplate on whether they should let him join them or not. He was much stronger than them, which risked them being subjected under his rule.
”Bro Relshe, let's just go and help him. Even though he doesn't need it, it could make us look good.” When Relshe heard these words, he fell under deep thought. After a few breaths, he nodded his head.
'Let's go then.” He then sprinted towards the fight scene with Srida.
Arnin saw the two coming and he couldn't help but snort. He already knew that they were watching from afar, but there was no reason for him to say anything. Instead, he already had a plan being created in his head.
”Srida, Relshe, good thing you guys came. Kill these people with me.” Arnin spoke out in a rushed manner.
The two abruptly stopped when they heard Arnin's roar for help. Relshe even hesitated to move forward. ”What are you guys waiting for. Didn't you also help me plan out the death of that girl, Yinsi?”
When those words came out of his mouth, the group that was sent by Fxi looked at the two friends with red eyes. ”So, you two are also a part of this?” Although he put on a strong front, he still felt deep apprehension towards the two.
They were already struggling to face Arnin, now that two others came, not any weaker than them, how could they survive.
Arnin saw this scene and knew that his speculations were correct. He had seen this group in the spectating area for the Gold arena, and the reason be would enemies was either because of his comment before fighting or because he killed Yinsi.
The first reason was unlikely to cause so many to follow him, especially after killing Yinsi, meaning that the death of that girl was the only other reason.
The battlefield came to a sudden halt. Arnin stood in his spot as if the previous battle was just a game. While the two friends and the group that came to kill him were still very nervous.
