Halak ordered two more glasses of rum before crossing his leg on his chair. He behaved so casual as if he had known Ezra for a long period of time.He didn't even think about the surprise attack which Ezra had launched some moments ago. The attack which was supposed to be malicious.Perhaps Halak was very stupid. Or he was very confident in his abilities. And neither of the reasons for his casualness was good in this world.Being foolish and overconfident easily got one killed in the martial world. A true cultivator was very much aware of this.Ezra observed the man for some time before reaching out his right hand to grab the glass. Then he downed it in a swoop."That's the spirit," Halak chuckled as he also downed his glass of rum. "Never thought I'd meet someone like you.""Someone like me?" Ezra asked."You know, someone who can finish a glass of rum in one swoop.""Aren't there several drunkards around?" Ezra asked. "They should be able to finish bottles of rum without batting an

Ezra walked into the dark night, leaving the noisy tavern behind. Outside the tavern was a quiet and undisturbed world. It was cold and dull unlike the bustling place where several cultivators had gathered to drink and enjoy themselves.He could see the moon high up in the sky, shining in its grandeur. It was a truly beautiful night—one which was filled with serenity and peace.Staring at the moon for a long period of time made him regret something. He regretted not bringing Mira along when he was heading to the tavern. She would have enjoyed the picturesque night view that was being displayed right now.And we would have walked under the moon, he thought within himself. He didn't even know when a silly smile played out on his lips.The wind whistled in his ears, causing his hair to dance to its beat. A cool sensation hit him, making him close his eyes. It was really soothing.Although he was already an intermediate cultivator with high resistance to cold and heat, it didn't mean that

It came as a shock to Ezra. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard what Halak had just said. Not only did he hear what Halak had said, he also saw the bounty notice. Both he and Mira were wanted all over the world.It wouldn't have been a problem if he were just the one being wanted. After all, that was one of the reasons he had left home. He had ended up making several enemies who were after his life. Even though he hadn't seen a bounty notice back then, he was sure a bounty had already been put on his head.He just didn't expect that there would be a bounty notice for him and Mira in Bravehearts Town. This town was countless miles away from his hometown.Perhaps the Serpent Fang gangs are the ones who secretly put up the bounty notices, he thought within himself. Obviously, they have been in this town for a long period of time.But how did they know I would come here? He was confused. How did they set up the bounty notice in advance, waiting for me?No one answered the questions

Ezra had never felt this helpless before in the face of any battle. He had not also felt this clueless about his enemies. Facing off these four Serpent Fang members felt more dangerous than fighting other intermediate level monsters.The Serpent Fang members were all intermediate level cultivators like him. They were at the same level as he was. But the thing was the mysterious energy they were using to fight him.The last place he had seen this kind of energy being used was in Camelot. And this was in another world. He hadn't been able to defend against the energy attack back then. And right now it was still the same.Perhaps if he had any idea about the kind of energy they were using, he would have been able to hold his ground. He would have been able to fight these cultivators despite them outnumbering him. After all, they were only four in number. They didn't outnumber him that much.Qi was the energy which every cultivator cultivated. It was the life force that ran through every

Mira could be seen running. She was trying to get to the battle scene on time in order to save Ezra. She knew that he wouldn't be able to survive in a battle against those four Serpent Fang members.If it had been only one intermediate level cultivator he would have been able to hold his own. But right now there were four of them. He couldn't fight against all of them.So she had to do something. Anything.She knew she was not even as half as powerful as they were. There was no way she would be able to defeat them even though she tried all her best.All she wanted to do now was create a small diversion so that she would escape with Ezra. She had already seen how much Qi he had used up. He wouldn't be able to hold out any longer against them. It was only a matter of time before he died.In a couple of minutes she finally arrived at the battle scene. And that was when she saw it. The black mist.It had already shrouded the four Serpent Fang members and was already consuming Ezra. The yo
