Chapter 105 - Su Linger (1/2)
Green grass, the sound of a running river in the distance, and trees of various height and width were unevenly distributed everywhere. This was the scene that Mesa saw after he opened his eyes. This scene that couldn't be any more ordinary, was extremely precious right now. He breathed out a long sigh of relief, and then carefully lowered a sleeping Xia Qingyue from his arms.
'This must be the Azure Cloud Continent. It was about time I came here.' Thought Mesa to himself as he immediately went to work marking nearby trees with the Flying Raijin mark.
”Someone! Please help me! Help!”
Whilst Mesa was busy burying a Flying Raijin kunai, he heard the voice of a girl in distress, followed by the sounds chaotic footsteps coming closer. Looking towards the source of the sound, Mesa saw a little girl in a yellow dress fleeing his way. Behind her, three man in black chased after her unhurriedly as they laughed at her menacingly: ”Run little piggy! Run! Let's see how far you can go once you have run out of strength!”
”Plop!”
The exhausted little girl fell on the ground. She struggled for a bit, but she couldn't get up. Her tears already filled her eyes and clenched her teeth and still tried desperately to get up.
Behind her, three men in black calmly and unhurriedly walked over. The man in the middle extended his hand, grabbed towards her and laughed recklessly: ”Su Ling'er, run again, keep running…. hahahaha…”
'So, that's Su Ling'er as a child. This means I really am on the Azure Cloud Continent. Good, very good indeed.' Thought Mesa as he looked at the child Su Ling'er. She had chestnut brown hair, tied in a braid, that extended down to past her shoulder and large green eyes.
One of men chasing her grabbed onto the Su Ling'er clothes, easily picking her up, and said with a sinister smile: ”This sure is a stubborn little brat, to actually be able to run so far. Hehe, now that his daughter has landed in our hands, I really want to see if old man Su Huangshan will still be as obstinate!”
”You… You bad people! Papa will definitely save me, and then beat all of you down!” Even though Su Ling'er eyes were filled with fear, she did not cry. Stubbornly holding back her tears, she struggled and shouted in the black-clothed man's hands.
”Hahahaha!” The black-clothed man laughed out wildly. ”Then that will really be the best outcome, I really hope to have him here! I really want to see if that Su Huangshan…”
But before he could finish his sentence, Su Ling'er was suddenly pulled out of his hands by some unknown force and flew screaming through the air, right into the awaiting arms of Mesa.
”There, there little girl. No need to be afraid. I will take care of these bad men and make sure you get back to your papa.” Said Mesa with a consoling smile, putting Su Ling'er a little at ease. Putting her down on the ground, he hid her behind his leg and looked at the three men chasing her.
”Where did this random brat come from? To actually dare to step into our Blackwood Stronghold's business, I think you're tired of living!!” Said one the men as he looked at Su Ling'er hiding behind Mesa.
”Sorry about that gentlemen, but I can't let you take this girl with you. So I suggest you leave, while you still have the chance…NOW!” Said Mesa coldly.
Instead of taking his words seriously, the three men start laughing out loud after hearing Mesa's threat.
”He's telling us to scram! He's actually telling us to scram!? Ahahahaha!”
”Yo! This kid is actually at level 1 Spirit Profound Realm at such a young age, it's no wonder he's so arrogant…”
”His talent is pretty good, but as for his brain, he's basically not even comparable to an idiot. Death is at his footsteps, yet he's actually telling us to scram, hahahaha…!
The black-clothed man on the left cracked the knuckles on his hands and stepped towards Mesa. His eyes were filled with scorn: ”Come! Let this granddaddy teach you a lesson you'll never forget!”
As the man was coming towards him, Su Ling'er was clamping on to his leg more tightly. Just a few feet away from Mesa, the man looked behind him and saw Xia Qingyue sleeping there on the ground behind him. Seeing the beautiful Xia Qingyue lying on the ground defenselessly, made the man smile with a predatory grin on his face.
”Yo, kid! This granddaddy will forgive you just this once for daring to speak to us like that. But only if you go away and leave the brat and that hot piece of ass behind you here.” Said the man with a smile of disdain and arrogance on his face.
”Very well then. It would seem like you have made your choice.” Mumbled Mesa as he unleashed his full power, making the three men go pale with fear. The man that was coming to him was stumbling backwards and fell down on ass as he felt Mesa's level 7 Emperor Profound Realm strength.
”Run! That brat was hiding his real strength!” Yelled on of the three men and they desperately tried to run away in different directions, in the hopes that one of them could get away. Less than 10 seconds after they started to run, they suddenly lost control of their bodies. To their horror, their bodies started moving on their own and back towards Mesa. No matter how hard they tried to resist, their bodies just didn't listen to them anymore and eventually they were in front of Mesa.
”Where do you three dipshits think you're going.” Said Mesa to three men that were back in front of him.
Knowing that they have messed up, big time, the three desperately tried to plead with Mesa to let them go.
”Please, don't kill me! I was only being paid to chase that brat! I will never do this again!”
