107 Faded steps (2/2)
Bai Wu easily broke the guy's nose as he was forced backwards from the collision.
”Hmph! You dare to try attack Lei! Bai Wu will show you what real might of my foot is compared to your might of a thousand.” Bai Wu mocked whilst standing on one leg with the other ready to attack. Bai Wu used this form as she mostly used her legs for combat.
Rei only chuckled when he heard how Bai Wu compared an attack from a rank 67 spirit emperor with her foot. While Bai Wu may not be able to harm them normally, she was able to use the spirit emperors momentum to effectively have him hurt himself.
”Bai Wu, you shouldn't talk too much when fighting.” Rei said as he fended off the combined attacks from three of the 5 people.
”Un.” She nodded as she started to struggle a little since the rank 67 spirit emperor was more on guard against her now. She could only dodge as weave as the spirit emperor mostly used physical enhancements. Teleporting around the spirit emperor, Bai Wu gave the occasional attack in the spirit emperor's weak point.
”Titan guard!” The spirit emperor shouted as the force of the guard threw Bai Wu off balance.
”Might of a thousand!” The fist charged towards Bai Wu as she didn't have the time to guard. She flinched and closed her eyes.
*BANG!!!!
A large collision occurred as Bai Wu opened her eyes. Rei stood in front of her with one leg forcing the fist downwards as the spirit emperor cried out in pain. Rei had Tengoku positioned behind him as he blocked 4 attacks.
”You shouldn't be too aggressive in a fight and prepare for the unexpected.” Rei commented as Bai Wu nodded.
Pushing strength into his sword, Rei forced the four of them back before giving the spirit emperor a harsh kick that twisted his neck in a unnatural way. The four spirit watched in slight fear as they saw how Rei killed a 67 spirit emperor with a simple kick to the head.
Looking back, Rei looked the the four people.
”Since you people attacked, don't even think about leaving.” Rei said as the four was about to retreat. Rei dissappeared from where he stood as he used Faded steps to invade the four spirit emperor's area of control. Appearing behind the support type spirit emperor, Rei easily decapitated his head as he faded from his location once more. The remaining three stood back to back as they didn't think that someone they felt ranking around rank 30 spirit grand master could be this monstrous and kill spirit emperors like cutting grass.
”ARRRGGGG!!” A scream rang out as Rei could be seen cutting the rank 68 spirit emperor into three pieces with his dual swords. The remaining two spirit emperors jumped away quickly in fear. Bai Wu teleported behind the rank 64 spirit emperor and concentrated her power into a single attack. Kicking at the spine of the spirit emperor, Bai Wu broke his spine in two as the rank 64 neglected his physical training and only focused on his abilities allowing even someone like Bai Wu to kill him with a concentrated attack on his weak point. The rank 64 spirit emperor could only scream in agony while he tried to crawl away. Fear crept into his eyes as he couldn't feel the rest of his body and realised that he was paralysed. He was about to turn around when Bai Wu directly teleported above his body and gave a crushing step which burst his heart and killed him.
The final spirit emperor could only lament the fact that his brother in arms were killed so easily. Accepting the fact that he couldn't escape, he burned the entirety of his spirit power as he was ready to self detonate. Rei frowned as the self destruction of a rank 65 spirit emperor would be devastating. Sending out his 1,000,000 year spirit ring, Rei used the supression of the ring to cause a slight lapse in concentration from the rank 65 spirit emperor. Taking advantage of the lapse in concentration, Rei killed the spirit emperor before he could continue the self destruct.
”That could have gone south.” Rei commented with a frown.
”Seems like the prince has more up his sleeve if he can send out spirit emperors against a rank 30.” Rei said as Bai Wu walked next to him.
Rei looked at Bai Wu and saw that the lower section of her dress was covered with some blood. Rei frowned as he took out another dress for Bai Wu from the spacial belt.
”Here Bai Wu. Get changed first, we'll see about what we should do with the prince at a later date.” Rei said handing her a dress.
”Help Bai Wu dress.” Bai Wu said as she looked at Rei.
”Help yourself.” Rei said as he gently bopped her forehead.
”Party pooper.” Bai Wu said as she found an hidden area where no one can look and got changed, half way through changing, Bai Wu held a mischievous grin as she looked at Rei who was looking away from her.
”Lei look I'm finished.” She called out as she was still half nude.
”No you're not. I can sense everything as well as I can see.” Rei said causing Bai Wu to frown.
”Che, Lei still on guard now.....wait.” Bai Wu said as she caught onto something.
”Lei can sense as well as he can see...Lei you've been peaking on Bai Wu changing.” Bai Wu said with a grin.
”ARCK!!!!!” Rei choked as he lost his composure slightly as he heard what Bai Wu said.
”HAHAHAHA Lei peaked on Bai Wu! Lei peaked on Bai Wu!” Bai Wu laughed out loudly as Rei could feel a twitch creeping around his eyes.
'Why the fuck is she so sharp at the worse moments.' Rei thought as he initially sent out his senses to check for more enemies but as Bai Wu called out for him he sent his senses over and ”saw” the full scene with detail. What was originally meant for keeping on guard was turned into a pervert's peep ability thanks to one sentence from Bai Wu.
”Hehehehe did Lei enjoy what he saw?” Bai Wu grinned as she had finished changing for real.
”Where did you even learn about these.” Rei said with a sigh.
”Bai Wu learned from a old uncle when we were in the stadium. He was muttering something like 'oh~ it's a man's dream to see some many ladies concentrating. They don't even know I'm peaking on their bodies.' He had a grin like this one.” Bai Wu said imitating a lecherous grin.
Rei frowned as his face became slightly cold.
'Who the fuck corrupted Bai Wu with this grin. I'll kill him!' Rei thought with murderous intent as he vowed to kill who ever caused Bai Wu to learn about this. The said person suddenly felt the touch of death creep around his body as he looked around in fear before slowly dismissing the idea while still being on guard.
”Never mind that, the prince seems like an obstacle we need to take care of.” Rei said while shaking his head. The fact that they seemed to be looking for a chance to take Bai Wu away during the fight had angered Rei to the point that he will actively seek out the master mind and kill him.
”Hmm, how about Bai Wu teleport you next to him?” Bai Wu suggested.
”No, there could be the possibility that he has a spirit douluo(rank 81-90) or even a titled douluo(Rank 90+) under his faction and they would be able to sense the energy fluctuations when you teleport. The battle could break out suddenly and right now fighting a titled douluo isn't something I would like to do if I can help it. The best way would be for me to sneak in there beneath their detection. Faded steps is a set of footwork rather than a heavy energy based skill so I should be able to suppress the small fluctuations so that even titled douluo's can't detect me.” Rei said as he thought about the plan.
”Wait does that mean Lei will go alone?” Bai Wu said in worry.
”Yes but don't worry I can fight off titled douluo's if it comes to it.” Rei said with a gentle smiled as he heard Bai Wu's concern for him.
”But..” Bai Wu was about to continue when Rei patted her head.
”It's fine, I'd rather be hurt myself than to see someone I care about get hurt.” Rei said while Bai Wu blushed. She held the part where Rei had patted.
'I'd rather be hurt myself than to see someone I care about get hurt....Lei would rather hurt himself than hurt me....Does this mean Lei love for Bai Wu turn to wife love?!?!'
(///∇///✿)Bai Wu thought as her face Blushed furiously.
Rei's expression softened as he saw her slowly drift into her own world again.
”Come on Bai Wu, we have plenty of time to day dream later.” Rei said as Bai Wu was brought back from her fantasies.
”Oh errr, sure!” Bai Wu panicked slightly trying to ease her blush away. Rei only raised an eye brow as he walked back the inn with Bai Wu.
