5 Power of blood First half (2/2)
”I see…” He murmurs before waving his hand again to cancel the dark spirit qi barrier before launching himself to the skies at the direction of The Great forest of nowhere.
”What is he trying to do?” Zhu Wushang mutter in confusion.
He's looking at the direction that black merchant disappears for a while before keeping this at the back of his mind and continue to wait in the small pavilion.
--------------------------
Afternoon, Zhu Wushang waiting for Xiao Lan more than 2 hours, He starts to feel more sleepy as the time passes by. He's waiting until nearly dusk before he saw the small figure of Xiao Lan is running to the little pavilion from afar.
”Haaah… She sure takes her times.”
Zhu Wushang gets up, He looks at the sun that's slowly setting, It seems like today playing need to be canceled
”I'm really sorry Wushang I'm late.” She apologizes.
”It's ok but looks like we need to postpone it to another time.
Xiao Lan nod with an apologetic look, She's late because she spends time with her mom and sends her to the spirits ship at the dock which takes a lot of time until she came back.
She wants to tell him the truth, but her mom told her not to tell him. Because she doesn't want him to know the fact that she's the Empress of Great Pheonix empire, and cause her relationship between him to change. But she still doesn't understand why just telling him that she spend time with her mom and send her to the ship will make Zhu Wushang know that her mom is an Empress of Great Pheonix Empire.
It's because of her ignorance that she didn't know the extent of Zhu Wushang intelligence. If she tells him the truth, he can easily trace the list of the spirits ship that sails out of the port today, and he'll know who's her mom really is.
Both of them walking hand in hand together until reaching the canal between the forest and the lake, but Zhu Wushang frown and stop.
”Hm? What's the matter Wushang?” Xiao Lan ask
He didn't answer but pick up the small stone at his feet and throw it to the air in front of him.
<Crackle!!>
The invisible spirit qi wall obstructs the throwing stone path, and this made his frown deeper, he slides his hand in the pocket inside his chest and brings out the dagger. He looks at the forest and brings Xiao Lan to move away from its border.
He
”Xiao Lan stay behind.”
He whispers to Xiao Lan and looks at the black substance at the edge of his dagger. It's the potent poison that's he concoct without the spirit qi by the pure alchemy skill of his. He is confident that his poison can kill even the Spirits Commander realm expert If... he manages to wound that experts with his dagger. But luckily his dagger is a King Grade dagger that his father gave him to protect himself.
He might not have spirits roots, but his battle power is no less than the peak of Spirits Disciple realm because he's managed to comprehend all of the fighting technics from his father without his father knowing by looking at his father practice at home for the last ten years.
<tap> <tap>
He heard the sound of many light footsteps from the forest border and many grey wolves appear from the forest followed by the Spirits dire wolf. It seems like the Spirits dire wolf is the leader of this pack.
He looks at all of the wolves that try to surround them; surely this is the human-made disaster. Fortunately, he already secures their back by turning their back to the lake. And if no one interferes with the lake, there should be no dangerous creature within.
<Arooooo!!>
The Spirits dire wolf howl in command then, three of the grey wolf launch at them. Zhu Wushang quickly intercepts these three wolves. He quickly slashes at the first one before he kicks at the second one and stabs at the third. Within five breath two of three wolf stop breathing and the last one has a minor injury at its neck.
He sheaths his dagger in the sheath and unsheaths it again to apply the poison that already used on the two wolves.
In this situation, he really wants to escape with the life-saving treasure like those experts in the story that his father usually told him. But unfortunately, those kinds of treasure need spirit ki to activate, and he didn't have that.
Unknown to him that if he had one and have spirit qi to use it right now, he can't use it because Xiao Lan tries to send the message to her bodyguard and Zhu Wushang father that is also working as her protector while he's here. She can't contact them at all. And all of the teleport and life-saving treasure didn't work at all. It's like her connection to these treasure has been interfered by stronger spirits qi.
