Chapter 2267 - 7 My Opponent Isnt a Studen (1/2)

Han Sen jumped onto the blood kirin’s back. Then, the blood kirin roared and flew towards Ice Blue Knight King and the others.

“Ignore those other guys and kill him first,” Han Sen instructed, thrusting his Thunder God Spike toward Ice Blue Knight King.

Instead of answering, the blood kirin simply kept roaring as it headed for Han Sen’s target.

“Charge!” Ice Blue Knight King called to the Ice Blue Knights as he swept his greatsword at the blood kirin.

The blood kirin paid no mind to the other Knights, though. The Knights had previously exploited the blood kirin’s stupidity to land a few blows, but now that the creature was following Han Sen’s commands, they found themselves having to give the creature an even wider berth.

“Han Sen, if you keep this up, you will never be allowed back into the Ice Blue Knights!” Ice Blue Knight King shouted, watching an Ice Blue Knight get torn to shreds by the blood kirin.

“I’ve already quit the Ice Blue Knights. Do you really think I plan to return after all this? When you guys decided to fight with me, you should have said your prayers and readied yourselves for death!” Han Sen shot back.

Ice Blue Knight King did not speak again. He had treated Han Sen as Yisha’s student. He thought of Han Sen as a junior, and he had never thought he would have to take the young man as an enemy.

Even though Han Sen had betrayed the Knights, Ice Blue Knight King only wanted to teach him a lesson as a senior Knight. He wanted to grab Han Sen, take the slate, then haul Han Sen back to his rightful place in the Knights.

It was only now that Ice Blue Knight King realized he had been wrong about Han Sen since the beginning. He never considered Han Sen as an equal, and it never crossed his mind that Han Sen would see him as an opponent. Or a competitor.

Han Sen wasn’t a junior who required protection or could be ordered around. Han Sen was a mighty elite who had exactly what it took to survive and thrive in that cruel world. He was holding his own despite the many powerful enemies that wanted him dead.

Ice Blue Knight King’s realization might have come too late. If he had considered Han Sen as a real threat in the beginning, he wouldn’t have given Han Sen any chance to escape the base. He would have taken Han Sen down as soon as possible, and he wouldn’t have chased after Han Sen alone when he first made his escape.

The blood kirin chased the group back to the hellish skeletal gate, killing everyone but Ice Blue Knight King, Crime, and one other Ice Blue Knight along the way.

Han Sen and the blood kirin didn’t dare draw too close to the gate, though. Han Sen allowed the three survivors to escape. Then, he went back to the lotus mountain where the blood kirin lived.

“I was foolish. I should have treated him like a genuine opponent.” Ice Blue Knight King stared at Han Sen, who was riding away atop the blood kirin. His face was expressionless, showing no hint of anger or sadness.

From that moment on, Ice Blue Knight King was going to treat Han Sen like a genuine opponent. To go against a strong opponent, though, he’d need more than the few students he had.

Crime looked grim. “Is that guy really Yisha’s student? He seems scarier than Yisha. I fear we may have underestimated him.”

“You cannot blame us for that. Who would have assumed that a Marquise could pose such a threat?” asked the other Ice Blue Knight, whose name was Harder.

Harder was feeling rather conflicted at that moment. He and Edward had been very close, so he knew just how terrifying the man had been.

Although Edward was just a hybrid Extreme King and his attack power wasn’t too strong when compared to the rest, his powers of observation and his movements were splendid.
