Red Tree

Zack sucked in a cold breath, with fear deeply imprinted in his eyes, he didn't care about the death of Alex, he got what he deserved, what shook him down to the bones was how ruthless Ethan was!

Ethan was burning with anger, the man had continued to push him to the wall, but he tried to always remain calm, unfortunately the man was unrepentant that sneak attack had dried away the last reserve of patience he possessed.

He hadn't expected his first kill to be like this, at least he had expected to be a bit unwilling and bitter, but now he felt nothing!

Doji heaved a sigh of relief, he was happy that Ethan was save and wasn't in the least concerned about Alex's death, such was the cultivation world if you didn't kill then be ready to be killed.

Ethan turned his gaze towards Zack, the man shivered and began to narrate immediately everything he knew.

"Everything is all because of a Red tree that is about to crystallize its branches"

"What's a Red tree" asked both Ethan and Doji in unison which caused both of them to stare at each other and chuckle lightly.

Zack didn't find it in the least adorable, the fear of the prowess of this two lads had creeped deep into his heart.

"A red tree is a tree that absorbs ring power from heaven and earth to grow branches and not fruit like normal trees, the denser and older the tree the more branches it produces"

"What's the use!" asked Ethan.

Zack swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if it wasn't for the turn of events, he would have killed Ethan for asking him that very secretive question.

"The branches of the Red tree when fully matured is a treasure which could increase the cultivation level of a series realm warrior, if you are in the early stage it could take you directly to the middle stage with no side effects same was for the late stage, it could skyrocket you directly to the Mystical Nurge realm!"

"What!" Ethan and Doji could not hide their shock at all, a treasure that could increase your cultivation base with no side effects, that was extremely priceless!

"You dare lie to me!" roared Ethan towards Zack, he could feel a hint of truth in what the man said but it wasn't bad to verify!

"No, I dare not!" Zack raised his hands up in fear, even though he wanted to do such a thing fear wouldn't allow him.

"Then why were the three of you trying to kill us?!" asked Doji.

"The Red tree is very close to this place, we wanted to get rid of the two you, so you wouldn't get in touch with the branches, and also reduce the competition as it is not only humans that are interested in this branch, it is also useful to Sedron beasts between the rank of one and three!"

"ohh" it now made sense why they hardly came in touch with any beast, they were all waiting to get the branches of the Red tree.

"Do you know the location of the Red tree?!" asked Ethan.

"Yes I do!" replied Zack without letting his anger and bitterness reflect in his tone.

He had waited patiently for the day the tree would crystallize it branches so he could make a breakthrough to the Mystical Nurge realm, he killed and sacrificed a lot of people just because of this tree.

The mystical Nurge warrior is a clan member of his which he was blackmailing, that was the only reason the mystical warrior escorted him as for Alex he was just a pawn which he had planned to kill before he got to the Red tree.

But now every of his dreams and aspiration had all been shattered by two kids!

He could only pray that the two were killed, but that was quite impossible with the strength that the both of them wielded.

It was just at this moment that the mystical warrior who had been lying on the ground suddenly rose up and began to retreat.

Ethan and Doji are not fast enough to meet with the speed of a frantic mystical warrior but someone else was!

Xiao..

A black streak of light suddenly chased after the mystical warrior and within a breath had caught up with him, the next thing that filled their ears were screams of terror followed by the mutilated body of the mystical warrior. Ravu in the next instance was back to where it was previously as though nothing had happened.

Ethan's jaw was wide open with shock all over his face.

The respect he had for Ravu which was no longer fear had doubled.

Doji chuckled " It feels good when I see you get shocked, it makes up for all the mind blowing things you have done"

"But it wasn't you who made me shocked, it was Ravu" Ethan wasn't going to deny it like Doji does, how could he say that he wasn't shocked that Ravu killed a mystical warrior in few seconds!

"It doesn't mean, Ravu is my companion beast, so the credits also goes to me"

"Ahh, I need to get myself a beast, so I can cheat like you just did!"

"Hahahahahaha" Doji laughed loudly, sending mocking grins towards Ethan.

Ethan just shook his head and turned his gaze towards Zack who didn't dare move an inch.

Ethan knew that with all Zack had seen, he wouldn't dare lie or try to deceive them, that was if he was wishing for death!

Zack's garment was soaked with sweat, and so was how every rebellious thoughts were soaked and washed away.
