“Shit!” Without thinking, Taeyang attacked. A large ball of ice shot forward, exploding upon contact with the bear. ‘Why did you do that? That’s a level-3 beast,’ Hiroshi said. The bear raised his gaze to Taeyang, who was far behind the man. “Rrrawwwr!” Though Taeyang’s attack didno harm, he had managed to anger it. ‘Your attack did nothing!’ Hiroshi yelled.The man took this opportunity, thrusting his sword deep into the bear’s chest.“Rraa,” it growled and sent him flying. It faced Taeyang and released a terrifying roar. Taeyang felt his blood boil. A tingling feeling crawled down his neck and into his spine. His blood pumped faster and his eyes turned scarlet.{How dare a lowly beast bare its fangs at me?}One kick to the ground and Taeyang’s body flew forward with a dangerous speed. He grabbed the bear’s face and smashed its head into the ground. ‘What the hell?’ Hiroshi voiced. Its head went halfway in, but Taeyang didn’t stop there. He dug his hand into its chest, ripping out

***A blue arc push Taeyang several steps. It came so fast he couldn’t dodge it. ‘Hiroshi, I thought you said it will protect me,’ Taeyang said and coughed blood.‘Do you think you’ll be alive if it didn’t?’ Hiroshi retorted.‘My inside feels like a mess.’‘Even if you have a grade4 artifact, your qi is far too weak to fully utilize it.’ Pills appeared in Taeyang’s hand and he swallowed them. ‘What now? I can’t move,’ he said while looking at Enji Lu. The runes were gone, and Enji Lu gave a death glare. He had recovered his sight.‘Don’t worry, it’s over. She’s here,’ Hiroshi replied.“Daddy!” Ming Lu’s voice sounded. Up in the sky, Yinyue held her by the neck. Rage in her eyes, she tightened her grip. “No,” Enji Lu cried out and dropped his sword. “Let her go!” Yinyue glared at him and squeezed a bit. “Everyone drop your weapons now!” His men obeyed, still Yinyue didn’t lessen her grip.“Yinyue, if you kill her we will all die,” Taeyang said. She gave Taeyang a worried look,

“And if I don’t?” Taeyang asked.“Then we will be more than happy to embrace death,” he replied. “Our pride will not allow us be treated like actual slaves. We will be your swords and shields, but not your dogs. We will protect you with our lives, but we will not lick your feet.”“I like this guy,” Taeyang said. “What is your name?”“Baek Yi, sir.”“I’m intrigued to know how you guys became slaves and ended up being sold together,” Yang Xiao said.“We willingly became slaves. They didn’t have a choice but to sell us together,” “Baek Yi, White and one?” Taeyang muttered. He looked at the lady to Baek Yi’s left. She had a scar across her left eye and two swords behind her back. “What is your name?”“Baek San, sir,” she replied.“Number 3?” Xue Yue said.“Yes ma.”“Your names are numbers?” Yang Xiao asked.“Yes sir,” Baek Yi replied. “Let me properly introduce everyone. I am Baek Yi, the leader. And this is Baek Er, the vice-leader.” The man to Baek Yi’s right bowed. He had almos

“That is the situation. What are your thoughts?” Yang Xiao asked. He, Taeyang, Xue Yue and Yinyue sat on a round table, while Baek Yi, Baek Er, Baek San, Baek Si, Enji Lu and Denju stood around them. “Do junior sister and I have to be here?” Xue Yue asked. “This is for the both of you to decide. I was in seclusion. You guys have reached the core formation realm, I’m still at the peak,” she cried. Yinyue laughed while Taeyang and Yang Xiao smiled.“What do you think brother?” Taeyang asked.“We stay quiet and gather more strength,” Yang Xiao said.“Since we agree on that, then it’s decided,” Taeyang said.“Sir, this is…”“Baek Yi,” Taeyang interrupted. “Is there a need to announce ourselves to the public? Why drag attention to ourselves when we don’t have the strength to stand at the peak yet?”“I’m sorry sir.”“A quiet life is for the best. We have enough qi stones to raise dozen of peak core formation masters. If words of that get out, the YangYue family will be crushed before it

A white light shot Bin Tong as he spoke. “How?” He stared at his arm in this belief. Half his left arm was gone. Blood poured down endless from his arm. At the last he evaded, however he was unsuccessful. “No!” he yelled as he sealed the wound with his qi.“You dare attack my family!” a voice roared. Bin looked down and found a shattered red dome, a shattered white dome beneath it and an unfazed blue dome beneath both.“Impossible,” “No way!” Du Rumeng and Ja Qu exclaimed at the sight before them. Bin Tong attack was blocked. The little girl glared at him, releasing a strong killing intent. Her hair completely white and her aura that of a strong peak core formation master. “How dare you?!” Her eyes had only one target in them, Bin Tong. The blue dome disappeared and in an instant she shot into the sky. “You will pay for my arm!” Bin Tong roared and greeted her strike. Shockwave flew in all directions. Yang Xiao fell from his sword. A smile appearing on his face and a sigh escap
