219 Hei Gous Doub (2/2)
”So your brother can kill me, but I cannot kill him?” Xue Wei mocked back with a smile on his face, causing the angry brother to get so furious that he started trembling.
”Why are you causing trouble with my friend?” Everyone turned to look at the speaker, everyone apart from Xue Wei that is.
Xue Wei had recognized the voice as belonging to Li Chen and thus he did not shift his attention away from the faces of the two vengeful brothers.
While the angry and aggressive one turned pale with fright and retreated slightly, the eyes of the calm and collected one turned serious and solemn.
”We did not know that this youngster was your friend,” the calm one finally spoke up. ”To think that the miss is worried about someone this much. In that case, we would, of course, have to step back,” he continued with a shallow smile on his face, a smile that was impossible to see through.
The two brothers quickly took their leave and vanished deeper into the cave, evidently seeking to spectate the battles in another cage.
Xue Wei's eyes did not leave them before they had vanished completely from his sight into the sea of people. He suddenly had a very bad premonition.
”You can sense it too, right?” Bai Tianyi suddenly asked. Xue Wei looked at him before nodding his head. ”The angry one is easy to deal with, but the other one will prove to be a thorny issue.”
”He is cunning,” Bai Tianyi agreed. ”Hopefully he does not value his lost brother too much.”
”We can always hope he doesn't,” Xue Wei said, frowning. ”He was told off by Li Chen, and she has quite the background. He might not feel that we are worth it.” Bai Tianyi could not help but sigh.
”It seems that no matter where we go, we end up being chased as public enemies number one, two, and three.” Bai Tianyi grinned when he said this, to which Xue Wei replied with a snort before he looked into the cage in front of them.
Although his attention had been drawn to the two remaining brothers of the Tiger Triplets, who had now left, he had not forgotten about Hei Gou's battle.
Hei Gou had not let him down. The cultivation level of his physical strength exceeded the level of his Qi strength. Although he outwardly seemed weak, he was indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Without even using any of his innate abilities and only relying on his physical strength and his claws, he managed to reduce his opponent into a sorry mess that was bleeding from various wounds all over his body.
From the look in Hei Gou's eyes, Xue Wei could see that he too was enjoying the thrill of the hunt. This feeling was better than being drunk; it was so intoxicating that it was impossible to resist, and now the smile on Hei Gou's lips and his red eyes showed that he was enjoying the slaughter.
”He is a beast,” Bai Tianyi commented when he saw the situation in the cage. Xue Wei just shrugged his shoulders. Being a beast was not such a bad thing.
The battle did not last long after this. Hei Gou's foe had his stomach gutted by the former's claws, leading to a very painful and disastrous death.
The audience was silent for a moment before they erupted into cheer. ”That is amazing!” someone exclaimed. ”He dominated the entire fight! Is he really a beginner?”
”Those three came together, but none of them are easy targets. I bet they are from some secret organization and are just here passing time.”
Lots of assumptions were thrown around after that. Hei Gou left the cage and went back to Xue Wei and Bai Tianyi.
”That was so thrilling!” Hei Gou was filled with excitement. ”I have never felt a hunt like this before. I felt so alive, so invigorated! Killing is one thing, but battling like this is another!”
While Bai Tianyi did not seem to fully understand what Hei Gou was saying, Xue Wei chuckled and nodded his head. ”I understand,” he said seriously. ”We can come here once a week and let go of our inhibitions; we can immerse ourselves in the hunt and whatnot, but we should never let the feeling consume us. Don't go out and kill people randomly just because you feel like it, understood?”
”Well, I would never cause problems for you,” Hei Gou said while acting rather embarrassed. ”Especially not while the Diviners are at large. I'm satisfied with a match a week!”
”Sounds good,” Xue Wei was satisfied with this reply. ”So now that the dog and I have both fought,” Bai Tianyi suddenly said, ”why don't you go and fight now?”
”I guess I should,” Xue Wei snickered. He had not fought yet, and he truly felt a need to let go of his pent-up frustrations, alongside once more tasting that feeling of killing someone, of hunting them, of having their lives in the palm of his hand and then ending it all.
”I would like to sign up,” Xue Wei went straight for the counter and went through the motions. He waited for a few moments for the opponent to appear. When he saw him, Xue Wei raised an eyebrow in surprise.
This opponent was not unknown to him. It was the man who had tried to fight him the first day he had signed up; the man who was so fat that he would be better off rolling along the ground rather than walking on it. But although he seemed like someone that was easy to handle, Xue Wei felt a distinct sense of danger coming from this man.
