Chapter 515 (2/2)
The Wanshi shaman dug until his hands bled, his voice cracking as he screamed with all his might. His eyes suddenly darted at Shao Xuan, filled with mania and hatred but also a tinge of fear. In the end, as if he had made a decision, he pulled out a metal dagger, leapt and stabbed it towards Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan stared at him calmly, then pinched the dagger by its blade with two fingers.
A simple motion enough to hit the shaman back to reality.
His strength was gone. If he still had his strength, he wouldn't be as weak as this even if he wasn’t one of the best warriors. His opponent stopped his blade with two fingers!
“Aaaaah!”
The shaman did not let go on his dagger, instead using all his might to drive the dagger forward. The dagger did not move, as if it was up against a hard wall. He looked up into Shao Xuan’s eyes only to see a peculiar glow.
Although the Wanshi’s fire seed was gone, he still had residual psychic senses. HE felt a sense of power from Shao Xuan’s being that wasn’t from Wanshi or Flaming Horn. In fact, this source of power wasn’t from any tribe. Was this really the power from a fire seed?
The scene of Shao Xuan’s palm smothering the flames and crushing their hopes kept replaying in the shaman’s mind. This person was not an ordinary tribesman!
“Who… are you?” muttered the shaman.
Shao Xuan did not answer.
“Who the hell are you?! Who?!”
Ignoring the shaman’s hysterical screaming, Shao Xuan flicked a finger and the shaman was pushed away along with his dagger. “You’re asking me? How would I know?”
Shao Xuan knew what the shaman meant but in truth, Shao Xuan didn’t have the answer either.
The shaman once said that to destroy a tribe’s fire seed, one had to follow the protocol or use totemic or inheritance power. However, that power within him hadn’t come from the Flaming Horn’s fire seed at all.
Ever since he came into this world, Shao Xuan had never been able to find out what that power was. Why was he brought here? However, many things told him that his power came from the fire seed. Not just Flaming horn’s fire seed but other tribes too.
While he looked like any child from the tribe, he was different from other people after his powers were awakened.
Shao Xuan once brought back the stone given to him by their crocodiles after returning from the Drumming tribe, yet could turn it into a water moonstone. This was something people say only their tribe could do.
He once went to the Rain tribe, then their prayer ceremony that had been ineffective for a thousand years suddenly succeeded in summoning rain.
…
Everything was related to the force that brought him here.
What force was it? Even Shao Xuan didn’t know.
Turning around, he walked towards his troops.
There was no need to continue fighting.
The Wanshi tribesmen slowly snapped back to reality. They had lost all willpower to fight.
When the Flaming Horns took one step forward, they all treated far away.
Someone screamed in terror, running far away. This became a cue so in the battlefield where two armies collided, suddenly one side was running far away.
The slave masters were shocked that Wanshi fell so quickly but this was still a very good outcome for them.
They now wanted to take in the warriors who had lost their fire seed. Because they once had power, they would thirst for it now. It was the best time for the slave masters to step in now.
Time for recruitment!
The slave masters, initially cowering in fear, were now beasts who smelled blood, extending their claws.
The Flaming Horns suddenly realised things were going in the wrong direction. If the slave masters weren’t here, they wouldn’t be interested in slaughtering the weak. However, the slave masters’ presence meant the Wanshi people would likely regain their power. Then they would return for revenge.
How could they let this happen?!
“Kill them all! Don’t let them slip away with the slave masters! Kill the slaves and their masters, just kill everyone!” shouted Zhang Luo. Although the slave masters here were not too strong, he was still cautious of them.
The three hunt leaders and their warriors continued killing while the two chiefs and the remaining people cleaned up the battlefield, treated the injured and counted the dead.
When Shao Xuan returned, he saw Caesar crouched on the ground, licking its wounds. During the invasion, Caesar and the other animals were in charge of blocking the Wanshi beasts so it wasn’t with Shao Xuan.
There were lots of teeth marks and Caesar was bleeding all over. There was a bloody hole on its back like it was stabbed by a spear.
When it heard Shao Xuan’s footsteps, Caesar’s ear swivelled around. It stopped licking its wounds and turned to look at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan’s footsteps stopped.
