Chapter 368 - Feng XIII the Shrewd (2/2)

Feng XIII, who was hiding in a secret place, murmured to himself, “What a monster he is. How could he seem so at ease, while being attacked by so many men in the Kokyo?”

More men were came pouring in from all directions. Xiao Bing dared not stay any longer. While he planned to leave, he suddenly heard someone growling. Then the second patriarch descended from above, slashing at Xiao Bing’s head with his hands. The other patriarchs followed him.

“Damn, they are really hard to deal with!”

Then Xiao Bing was being attacked from all sides by the nine patriarchs.

Xiao Bing felt troubled, since he was merely at the middle stage of Void-breaking, especially when he was carrying someone on his back. Feeling humiliated, the second patriarch came back at him with a vengeance, much like a savage dog. He did not care about the man on Xiao Bing’s back anymore, while Xiao Bing had to ensure this man’s safety. But it seemed that neither of them could get the upper hand.

Then 10 men in black rushed out from the Koyko. Xiao Bing found that most of them were at the level of Transforming-stage, and some of them were even at the Elixir-strength stage.

Xiao Bing fretted. If he stayed here any longer, he might not be able to leave this place with the man on his back. Even if he could escape here alone, he would be seriously injured.

The nine patriarchs had mounting endurance. Though none of them were as powerful as Xiao Bing, they were all seasoned fighters, and Xiao Bing found it hard to beat them.

The nine patriarchs exchanged a glance and nodded their heads in unison. Then they stood in a row, and delivered a strike with their right palms. Nine wisps of Gang spirit converged into an extremely formidable power that was aimed at Xiao Bing. With a stern expression, Xiao Bing cast aside the sack. Then the power inside him seemed to grow rapidly as his eyes glittered wildly. Then he pushed all the power to his palms.

Xiao Bing slashed out, facing the formidable Gang spirit from the nine patriarchs, like a dragon. The two parties crashed into each other. Then Xiao Bing felt the blood rising from his throat. But he forced himself to swallow it down. The nine patriarchs flew backward and fell to the ground.

This was the difference between Gang-strength and Void-breaking.

Together, they could not defeat Xiao Bing, even if they were all of Gang-strength.

But Xiao Bing dared not stay any longer, since he was badly injured. His enemies here were not only the nine patriarchs. The elder group in Kokyo was the symbol of the supreme force. But the emperor must have other hidden forces like those men in black. The moment Xiao Bing decided to leave with the man who had God’s Blood, he whirled around and found the sack had been grabbed by someone. Then that man carried it on his shoulder and retreated. Xiao Bing watched this man running further and further away.

He found this man to be quite familiar, then realized that it was Feng XIII, the student of Iza Kawatani.

Xiao Bing had not expected Feng XIII to make an appearance. The nine patriarchs were so powerful together, that he had to make every effort to fight. So, Feng XIII took advantage of it.

Xiao Bing growled and rushed into the crowd, while knocking people down. Xiao Bing was too angry to show any mercy. “Who dares to stop me!” Xiao Bing shouted as he left corpses behind.

Afterwards, the men who rushed in from the Koyko caught up with Xiao Bing and began to strike him. Xiao Bing knocked them down. He had some new injuries, and his old injuries were getting worse. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The second patriarch, the strongest among them, managed to get onto his feet. His level was extremely close to Void-breaking. Though the other patriarchs were still unable to stand up, he could still fight.

The moment the second patriarch lurched to his feet, his men aimed at Xiao Bing with their guns. The situation was extremely unfavorable to Xiao Bing.

There was a killing intent in the eyes of the second patriarch. “This man is really powerful. We must not let him leave alive.”

Xiao Bing looked around and found himself surrounded by so many warriors. It seemed impossible for him to escape today. But then he saw a familiar figure rushing out from the crowd. “Aoki Ichiro, how can you do this to me? How could you lie to me?” He heard the cry of a girl.

Xiao Bing’s mind went blank for a moment, because he found that it was Princess Nami.

While Xiao Bing was considering what he should do, should the princess come near him, the princess had already appeared before him and pummeled his chest with her fists. “Take me as your hostage, so that you can go.” She whispered in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
