Fire + Thunder = Mass Destruction

As two dark cloaked figures sat inside the Mitre Auction House once again, Ya Fei and Clonney awaited for the promised pill. There was a table, in which the two figures sat and laid a small green pill.

"Mister truly is someone who kept his word, we will gladly accept this 'Qi-Accumulating Pill'." Ya Fei smiled. The first dark cloaked figure suddenly smirked.

"I can also give you an additional five more 'Qi-Accumulating Pills' for free!" The Receptarier increased the amount, causing the Mitre members to be in great shock at the sudden increase.

'Five?! That should be already be worth at least 800,000!' Clonney thought in shock and dumbfoundness of the extra 5 Pills for free.

"But, I need to promise you something..." The mysterious figure demanded mischeiviously.

...

Inside the Jia Lie areas, in the gardens of expensive wealth and design, an arrogant Receptarier played with his 'girls' while the Jia Lie Clan Leader stood patiently.

"Master Liu Xi, this is the 'Blood-Coagulating Powder' from the Xiao Clan." Jia Lie Bi gave the bottle to the Receptarier, who glanced at the bottle with disinterest, then to finally noticing the bottle.

"It is really better than my 'Rejuvenating Powder, but looking at the colour... Whoever made this seems to be a newbie, and probably accidently created it. It is nothing of concern!" The receptarier dismissed the bottle as if it was a small fly.

"These few days, the Xiao Clan has already taken away 50% of our medicine business, today, I would like to discuss whether we could lower the price so as to get our business back..." Jia Lie Bi suggested with intelligence and logic.

However, the receptarier thought otherwise. "Lower the price?!"

"Sir, our situation has changed! Please understand..." Jia Lie Bi begged.

"Fine! But for my portion... I want three times the amount I was previously having!" The receptarier held up three fingers and demanded. Jia Lie Bi silently grit his teeth and held a mask of politeness.

"Definitely! We will not shortchange you. In the meantime, we will have to trouble you to continue making those recovery medicines!" He replied. The receptarier wasn't paying any attention to him. He was too busy playing with his 'girl'.

"Relax! Please leave if you have nothing else, I'm busy here! Right, my pretty lady?" The receptarier responded.

'This bastard... If we didn't have to depend on you, we would have killed off trash like you!' Jia Lie Bi grit his teeth.

"DAD! HUGE TROUBLE!" Jia Lie Ao, the Clan Leader's son went to Jia Lie Bi's side. He whispered something in his father's ear, causing him to be in total shock.

"WHAT?! THE DAMNED MITRE AUCTION HOUSE REFUSED TO SELL US INGREDIENTS?!" Jia Lie Bi cried out in disbelief.

"Master Liu Xi, the situation is dire! Please look at the big picture and think of a way to solve this!" The receptarier scoffed arrogantly and lifted himself up.

"So troublesome! Since I was getting bored sitting around, let's go visit the Xiao Clan's Market Square and have a look what they're made of!" The arrogant receptarier proclaimed.

...

In the Xiao Family Sect, a very important meeting was conversing inside. Ya Fei, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, and the Head Elder.

"Miss Ya Fei! Welcome, it's an honor to have you here!" Xiao Zhan greeted the Mitre member. She smiled in response.

"We've heard that the Mitre Auction House has stopped selling ingredients to the Jia Lie Clan..." Xiao Zhan said.

"How can we repay you for your help?" Xiao Zhan replied. Ya Fei simply smiled and held the tea cup in front of her and sipped the contents.

"Ah, that is not neccessary. In fact, in this feud, the Mitres will support the Xiao Clan till the end!" She announced the fact. The Xiao Clan were shocked beyond the least. Except for one certain MC...

"Because everything has been paid full by the black-cloaked mister." Ya Fei explained, causing Yan to silently 'heh' in response. She left from her seat after she was done.

"Then I shall not bother the Clan Leader anymore, Ya Fei bids farewell." She nodded in the statement.

"Brat! Quickly go send off Miss Ya Fei!" Xiao Zhan said, in order to respectfully treat the Mitre with their kindness. Yan smiled as he showed the way to Ya Fei.

"Miss Ya Fei, this way please." He lent out his hand to the exit. That was when the Mitre noticed.

It was the same youthful hand that she noticed before when she first met the cloaked figure.

Yan, realising her sudden reason for surprise, quickly hid his hand. 'Shit! Did she see through me?!' He thought in panic.

Ya Fei, now knowing that Xiao Yan was the mysterious receptarier, smiled in mischieviousness. "Young Master Xiao Yan, would you mind sending me further out?" She 'suggested', in her words it meant to follow me.

Yan sweated bullets had his cover was blown. 'Oh no...' This... was bad.

...

Out in the forests away from the Xiao Sect, Ya Fei grinned in wonder and amusement as Yan smirked as he leaned on a tree.

"So, should I be addressing you as little brother Xiao Yan or Old Mister?" Ya Fei smirked. Yan, in response, crossed his arms behind his back of his head in a comfortable manner.

"You already know. Whichever suits you... But this won't affect our cooperation, right?" Yan half-check and half-asked. He wasn't exactly sure if the Mitre was still cooperating with a boy.

"Of course not! To be able to obtain five 'Qi-Acumulating Pills' just by not selling ingredients to Jia Lie, and to obtain the favour of the receptarier who is helping you to concoct those medicine, it is worth it!" She stated, choosing the right and most successful option, for business.

"Really now... I can't seem to hide anything from you..." He replied, respected at the cunning intellect of the Mitre.

"Yan! Something happened that the messagers are fucking annoying me! Deal with taht shit! Tell them to fuck off!" Mark's voice called out, as if very annoyed at the many people asking for help.

Ya Fei raised an eyebrow at the vulgarness of the voice. Was that...

"I'm going!" Yan ran to the supposed area of the action.

Ya Fei wondered if the 'Small Dragon' and the Young Master were related. It seemed the 'Small Dragon' was the second cloaked figure...

How interesting.

...

"Jia Lie Ao, you dare bring your people here to the Xiao Clan's territory to cause trouble?!" Xiao Yu proclaimed, readying her whip to lash out like a tiger.

"Hee~ had I known the Xiao Clan had such beauties, I would have come over earlier! Jia Lie Ao, why aren't you introducing them yet?" The receptarier grinned as he would add another collection to his 'harem'.

"The one with the terrible temper, is Xiao Yu, and the gentle one beside her is Xiao Xun-Er." He explained. The receptarier's grin widened at the fact.

"Xiao Xun-Er... Xun-Er... What a nice name! A beauty's name is also beautiful!" The receptarier leaned closer. He greeted the two ladies with his best 'nice guy' act.

"I am Liu Xi, a first-grade Receptarier! I would like to invite both ladies to go shopping with me!" He 'respectfully' greeted.

Xiao Yu scoffed and roughly turned her back away from the digusting pig. "Get lost! Xun-Er, let's go!" She grasped her hand to get away from the pig.

If it wasn't for the Jia Lie Clan's guards to block their path, the receptarier's face darkened with lust and intent. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Xiao Yu grit her teeth and lashed out the whip. "You're asking for it!" She whipped at the nearest guard, who suddenly grasped the whip with great accuracy, pulling away the whip away from Xiao Yu's hands.

The blades were near her neck and face, daring to slid her throat in seconds. Xiao Yu looked as if surprised at the guards' skills, at the fact she was disarmed in the matter of seconds.

"Tsk tsk, beautiful lady, why are you choosing the harder way out? On the other hand, Miss Xun-Er knows what she's doing, make me like her more..." The receptarier glanced at the maiden. Her eyes were cold as ice.

"Come here, Miss Xun-Er, let 'Ge-Ge' here bring you out shopping!" As the receptarier's hand leaned closer to her shoulders, what she said shocked the Receptarier.

"Trash will always be trash, even beneath that skin of the first-grade receptarier you're wearing..." Cold couldn't describe the 'savageness' of her comments.

[AN: Damn, that's a good burn. Wait, trash will always be trash... Doesn't mean that Yan, who is also trash, stays trash?...]

*Well, not exactly. Yan was 'called' trash, remember? Doesn't mean that he is one.*

[AN: Oh.....]

"You fail to appreciate my good intentions... I am..." He couldn't finish those words because there was a megatonned filled punch to his face to shut his mouth.

The punch broke the poor receptarier's nose to shatter, snorting out blood everywhere in painful moments, causing the receptarier to roll from the ground from the force.

"Who?!" Jia Lie Ao called out.

"Me." Yan cracked his knuckles. Xun-Er beamed in welcome to see Yan was there to protect her. In that moment, the guards rushed around the two agressively.

"Xun-Er, I'm sorry for coming late." Yan apologied, as Xun-Er smiled in response.

"WHO ARE YOU?! HOW DARE YOU TO ATTACK ME DIRECTLY! I am a First-Grade Receptarier! Are you even worthy angering me?!" The receptarier demanded furiously.

"Oh.. So you're the one who made the 'Rejuvenating Powder'?" Yan smirked.

"He is the genius of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan. A few months ago, he suddenly progressed from Disciple Rank Third Stage to Eighth Stage!" Jia Lie Ao helped the fallen receptarier up.

[AN: I'd like to mention Jia Lie Ao misheard the rumur, so he'd known that Yan was Eight Ranked instead of Ninth...]

"Ptooey! For someone who isn't even a Practitioner, no matter how much of a 'genius' he is, he is still worthless! Let's see how your grandfather, me, deals with you!" The receptarier smirked in confidence.

"Is that so..." Yan's face darkened as he sent a signal by raising his hand.

Suddenly, the guards of the Xiao Clan appeared out of nowhere and struck the guards of the Jia Lie Clan in surprise. The receptarier 'eh?'-ed in surprise.

"Wah!" "It's the Xiao Clan's bodyguards!" The crowd murmured.

"Young master, miss! Bain awaits your commands!" Bain respectfully greet the two, the army of guards marching from the Xiao Sect.

"Leave not a single one of Jia Lie Clan's people alive!" Yan ordered the army.

"K-kiddo! Are you for real?! I AM a first-grade receptarier, you know!" The receptarier spoke in panic. Jia Lie Ao smirked.

"Xiao Yan! Are you trying to bully us with numbers? If you have guts, come challenge me!" The duel was on.

"No problem. Jia Lie Ao!" Yan smirked in confidence. Meanwhile, the young master had not thought of any worry to this.

'You're seeking your own death, don't blame me for it!' He recalled his father's words to use every chance to kill the Xiao Clan Young Master with no hesitation.

As Jia Lie Ao flared his own Dou-Qi into his palms, he rushed/charged towards Yan with murderous intent.

"XIAO YAN!!" He screamed and slashed towards Yan, who avoided the attacks with great accuracy. Taken by- no. Actually, he wasn't taken by surprise because he faced more deadly and faster foes...

...

"ACTCHOO!" I sneezed for no reason as I felt one of those anime cliches when someone was talking about me.

...

"You useless trash who's only a Eigth-Grade Disciple! DIE! HAHA!" As Jia Lie Ao went on to charge a slash, time became slow to Yan as he saw the incoming slash.

'Parry the oncoming attack, then fracture.' Yan mentally thought the plan. He charged up a Octadic Smash to his elbow and swiftly struck the arm of the Jia Lie Ao. As the strike was parried away from Yan, it also fractured the arm of Jia Lie Ao completely.

The power house from the force blew the two Young Masters from a shockwave, with Yan being thrown and crashing into a building, and Jia Lie Ao thrown across the floor.

"Xiao Yan!.." Xiao Yu and Xun-Er spoke in concern. However, a deathly-painful cry came out from the Jia Lie Clan's Young Master.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!! MY ARM!" Jia Lie Ao cried in pain, as his arm was fractured and bent in the wrong way.

[AN: Ouch. That's not supposed to bend that way.]

*Yep. Imma gonna add that to my lists of NPC villains whom suffered a worse fate...*

"So he has already promoted to a Practitioner, and he was still acting weak, he really makes us worry for him!" Xiao Yu crossed her arms with a flat tone, as she saw the rising body of Yan coming from the debris of the building.

Unconsciously, Yan held a metal pole as a resting staff and escaped from the heavy debris without a scratch. He walked towards to the fallen body of Jia Lie Ao and rested the metal pole in his shoulders and smirked.

As Jia Lie Ao turned to look at Yan, fear got up to him as Yan menacingly grinned (possibly because Mark showed his rape grin too much he started to develop it) as blood came dripping down on his forehead.

"YOUNG MASTER XIAO YAN, I'VE LOST! I WAS WRONG! LET ME OFF PLEASE!" Screams of mercy and begging were sounds of music to his ears. Is this what Mark felt like when he constantly beat the shit out of him? Whatever it was, it was an odd sensation to him...

"..." Nope, it just wasn't the same. Jia Lie Ao screamed for mercy for his own skin. He screamed because he wanted to fucking survive for his own family. There was a difference.

"Xiao Clan's little dog, to think you'll be ruthless in a simple sparring match!" Yan quickly infused his Dou-Qi to his metal pole to reinforce the oncoming strike, FAST.

Quickly stancing himself a decent Soresu stance, he barely blocked the strike that came to him, slightly loosening his grip on the handle, and to be slid away from the force with the ground's friction.

"To be ruthless at such a young age, I must teach you a good lesson in place of your father, Xiao Zhan!" Jia Lie Bi floated in front of Yan, protective of his own son's safety.

"Father, help me!" Jia Lie Ao cried out. But, Yan only smirked in challenge as he stanced himself of Soresu in front of the Dou Grandmaster.

[AN: He's doing the Obi-Wan pose...]

*He's actually doing it... He is a true Jedi, indeed... May the force be-*

"Come, Jia Lie Bi! You have no place to dishonor my family, nor have the right to teach my place!" Yan taunted, excited to see his skills could face on a Dou Grandmaster.

[AN: He's getting a bit too cocky...]

*Yeah, he's going to get himself killed... And that's not the old guy!*

"Son! How are you doing?!" "It hurts! It hurts so much!" "Kill him! Kill him, father!" Jia Lie Bi glared deathly at Yan in hatred, as Yan flared his Dou-Qi in response to take on a Grandmaster.

Xun-Er, sensing the danger in Yan, flared up her own Dou-Qi in protectiveness, ready to kill Jia Lie Bi in a second.

[AN: At this point, a cocky Star Wars fan MC, a non-family related Yandere who's fit for legal marriage, and an old guy who's pissed at the 'small' injuries of his son flares dangerously.]

*You got that right. I doubt Mark won't pull the trigger...*

"XIAO YAN! YOU DARE HURT MY SON?! I'LL BE TAKING YOUR LIFE TODAY!" Jia Lie Bi's Dou-Qi swirled around like a hurricane, forcing Yan to take a defensive position as he realised he was too cocky.

Suddenly, a raging flame shaped like a lion charged in front of the tornado and blocked the attack to Yan. Xiao Zhan had blocked the attack. Like always, a shockwave created between them and blew each other away.

"Father!" Yan exclaimed.

"Jia Lie Bi! My son does not need you to teach him anything!" Xiao Zhan declared, behind him, armies of guards as well as Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu, and Xun-Er stood defensively.

"Peh! Xiao Yan severely injured my son, I must have you answer for it today!" Jia Lie Bi pointed the Patriarch.

'The only thing he's injured is a broken arm. He's got another one!' Yan unconsciously chanelled his inner-'Mark'ness and smirked.

"Don't forget, it was your people who first came to our territory to cause trouble! If you know what's good for you, scram! Or else don't blame me for being ruthless!" Xiao Zhan flared up his fiery Dou-Qi around him dangerously.

Jia Lie Bi grit his teeth. "Xiao Zhan! I will settle with this grudge with you one day! Let's go!" He ordered his guards to retreat away from the Xiao Sect. As the guards went to leave, the receptarier stared at the beauty Xun-Er with lust.

"Miss Xun-Er~ Do you want to have some fun with me~" He said, completely in love in Xun-Er. That was when he noticed Yan in front of him, cracking his knuckles protectively and the guards a bit pissed off.

"Mister Liu Xi, did you have fun watching?..." The receptarier fucked up.

"Stinking brat! Eh? Where did all the Jia Lie Clan's people go?" He shook his head furiously to search for guards. It was time for a beating.

"Wah! You little trash!" "You dare to hit me again?!" "I am a First Grad-"

...

In the Jia Lie Residences, the cries of pain and begging were screaming out in the night, where the full moon illuminated the area.

"Arg!" "Gentler!" The receptarier felt humiliated as the female doctor patched his wounds as he laid in the bed. The only scene was that the woman's back was shown, not her face.

"Master Liu Xi, how are your injuries?" Jia Lie Bi asked the injured receptarier. As the camera turned, the woman's face was ugly. Big nose, thin eyes, feckles and rough skin.

[AN: I'm not being sexist for all you female viewers out there. That's just stupid, being sexist. If someone calls me a simp because of this, I will not be amused.]

*If used in a joking manner, then okay.*

"Horrible, horrible! What's worst is you getting this ugly woman to treat me, you might as well be torturing me!" "Bleh! Tasteless!" "Stop rubbing! Stupid ugly woman! Get lost!"

"That was because she was the one with the best medical skills nearby... We wanted you to recover faster, if not..." Jia Lie Bi explained. The receptarier wore his clothes and smirked arrogantly.

"Hmph, money again?! Actually, I can help concoct another medicine called the 'Strength Reserves Pill', it is able to double a person's power temporarily, and should sell very well... But..." The receptarier's eyes giggled in a disturbing manner.

"I have a condition. I want you to get that lass Xun-Er for me!" He demanded, causing the Clan Leader to gulp and sweat in disbelief.

"Every woman I've desired, none has managed to get away yet!" The receptarier giggled in lust. Still shocked at the receptarier's demands, Jia Lie Ao stuttered.

"This... Let me think it over tonight, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow... I'll be going now!" Jia Lie Ao needed to think. He left the room instantly.

'This fellow is really crazy...' He slammed the doors shut.

'One day, he's going to get himself killed...' Left with a task that he cannot complete, he did not notice two dark cloaked figures silently sitting in the rooftops of the residences.

...

"Xiao Yan Zi, are you sure you want Master to get rid of him?" Lao asked the posing Yan, who leaned on the rooftops.

"Yes! This is for the cl-" WHACK!

"Bull. Going all protective on your 'Xun-Er'?..." I deadpanned, using the excuse of neccessary of the Clan cliche in order to kill the dude who wants to get inside the yandere's pants.

"'Ahh! What a despicable bastard! How dare he hit on my Xun-Er! I must kill him!'" Lao successfully copied Yan's acting perfectly. I gave him a high five for that.

Yan blushed and touched both his index fingers, like an embarrassed school boy. "M-master, what are you talking about?..." He denied. Lao chuckled.

"Alright, everything is for the Clan, it has nothing to do with that lass~" Lao smugly replied, causing Yan to blush red.

"Though I don't know why you decided to pull me in this mess... All I can think of is a certain non-family related member..." I sarcastically commented, causing Yan to flinch.

"Bring me for a more important matter. If not, I will make your life hell." I doomingly leaned closer to Yan's face, who was sweating bullets.

As I was going to think about my hellish punishment to Yan for bringing me to a worthless situation, I was cut off from that... AWFUL singing voice.

"Miss Xun-Er, my goddess! Oh, how your beauty astounds~ On this lonely night, who else can make my tranquil heart flutter? Only you, only your voice next to my ear, only you." He made up a not-even-a-poem while drawing a crude drawing of... Xun-Er. Yeah, that's Xun-Er.

The three of us facepalmed in disturbment.

"To think that he even knows how to write poems..." Lao replied in shame.

"Such an ugly drawing! I really want him to kill him now..." Yan replied as he sweatdropped.

"Jesus, I can't imagine being him..." I replied, and shook my head pitifully. F at least knew that he acted cringe, but to act cringy unconsciously? Might as well that I want to stay out of the world...

Then I sensed an oncoming threat. Lao might've noticed it too, because he just widened his eyes.

"Wait, this is unexpected. Hide yourselves first!" Yan and I hid away the rooftops and concealed our Dou-Qi. We watched in secret as the receptarier kept SINGING THE DAMN SONG.

"If only I had you, I would do anything for you~ Ah~ Miss Xun-Er!..." The receptarier, completely unaware of the oncoming threat on his ass. Heavy winds of energy blew inside the room, ripping away the crude drawing away from the receptarier.

"Eh?" The receptarier glanced to the Full Moon. And- Holy shit... It's Xun-Er.

Her eyes glowed in golden light, her hair lengthened to a unnatural length that waved around the winds and reached over her feet, and she floated around- no, it looked like she was flying in mid-air.

Honestly, the lighting from the Full Moon made Xun-Er intimidating, like a starving vengeful wolf out to kill a rat for dinner.

Yandere, CONFIRMED! She 'bout to murder his ass because he insulted her 'senpai'!

"You would do anything for me? Then, you just can go die for my sake!" Both Yan and the poor receptarier were equally surprised to see that Xun-Er was a deadly fearsome opponent...

Terror took over to the receptarier's heart. "Waahh! SERVANTS! SOMEBODY WANTS TO KILL ME!" The receptarier ran for his life, sweating heavily to survive.

"Hum..!" Xun-Er focused her golden Dou-Qi to her palms and condensed it. The energy charge discharged into a thin golden laser beam of energy that pierced through the receptarier's chest.

"The entire area has already been enveloped within my aura, no one will hear you! You must die for insulting Xiao Yan Ge-Ge!" The receptarier coughed blood from his mouth, as the wounds reopened and blood spilled out everywhere.

"He may not have bothered about trash like you, but I cannot overlook it!" The receptarier's lifeless body fell to the floor with a crash, blood spilling from his body.

Satsitfied of her work, she left the area and flew to the Full Moon and left the scene... I might be convinced that she might be... A vampire? A werewolf? Both?

"A one-hit kill! Her Dou-Qi's strength is comparable to a Grand Master! To think she concealed such powerful strength!" Lao complimented in respect and awe.

"She should've gone for the head..." I muttered in distain, convinced that people keep aiming for the heart. Seriously, decapitate the head! Without the head, they're dead.

"Heh, she should've used a secret ability to temporarily increase her power tremendously! With her background, having this ability is not exactly unexpected..." Lao muttered in wonder.

"Seems like we made a wasted trip tonight, let's go!" Yan moved to leave the scene, but I stopped him from going further.

"Wait." I said. Lao smirked as he noticed I knew one important thing.

"That may not be so, although that lass did deal a ruthless blow, but she still lacks experience... Of not going for the head." The receptarier's eyes suddenly snapped open to life, twitching his fingers like a zombie.

"Damned woman! Luckily I stole a 'Tortoise Aura Pill' from Master previously, else I would've died today! I must get Master here tomorrow..." The receptarier clutched his chest to close the wound from spilling more blood.

"That's our que." I signaled, and we both entered inside the room.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think you'll have the chance to go back..." Yan told the dying receptarier. The receptarier became terrified again to see another killer.

"That careless girl, seems like I will have to be the one to finish it." Yan stepped inside the room, the winds blowing the cloak around.

"This day next year shall be your death anniversity!" Yan revealed himself to the receptarier. The receptarier was deeply shocked at the reveal.

All of those points seriously pissed me off.

"You IDIOT!" I whacked the back of his head. "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO REVEAL YOUR FUCKING IDENTITY, DIPSHIT! YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE OF YOUR 'ONE-LINERS' AND YOU FUCKED IT UP! 'This day next yeat shall be-' FUCKING SERIOUSLY?! THAT WAS TRASH!" I loudly exclaimed, causing both of the members to be deeply confused and shocked.

"I MAY NOT LIKE ONE-LINERS, BUT THAT WAS... FUCKING NASTY!" My hands vibrated in digust, very offended from the awful one-liner.

"OKAY, OKAY! Let's just forget that, and get on what we came for!" Yan refocused and pointed at the receptarier.

"Hahahah... Xiao Yan, do you really think that you can kill me?!" The receptarier taunted, although he was beaten the shit out of guards and Yan himself earlier.

"Oh, don't misunderstand. I'm not here to kill you." Yan denied, making the receptarier to be confused. In that cue, Lao appeared behind Yan and smirked.

"It's me!" Lao answered, and flared his Essence Flame to his palms. The receptarier widened his eyes when he realised the flame was.

"E-Essence FLAME?!" He spoke out, disbelief in his features at the icy-blue flames. Lao smirked.

"Congratulations! Here's a prize for getting it correct!" Lao flared his Essence Flame to the receptarier. Before he could get incinerated, I stopped him.

"Waitaminute, what's that smell?" I suddenly smelt the strange smell on my nose, coming from under the bed. I leaned to the bed and...

Okay, what the fuck?

"What's the matter, weren't we going to-" He noticed the shocking sight under the bed and grimaced painfully. This is... Just some top-tier cursed stuff.

"WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS THAT?!" Yan shouted in distress, disgust at THAT.

*I-is that what I think it is?...*

[AN: Black female undies smeared with white, liquidly, smelly, that's called semen? Unfortunately, yes.]

"Okay, that's some NASTY, SHIT. BURN THAT MOTHAFOCKA!" Red Hot Cosmic Lightning met Bone-Chilling Flame, and instantly incinerated the bastard.

BOOM!

"AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!"

We crashed to the rooftops of the nearby houses, breaking some bricks and whatever rooftops were made of in contact as we were sent flying.

"Fuck... HOW DOES LIGHTNING + FIRE = EXPLOSIONS?! THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, AND ITS BULLSHIT!" I screamed/groaned at the aftermath of the explosion. The whole building we were in was in flames and totally destroyed, like as if it got bombed.

"Owowowowo.... Seriously, HOW DID IT CAUSE AN EXPLOSION?!" Yan got up from the debris and helped me up. He later glanced at the building with some disbelief, as we caused that much of a explosion...

"Bullshittery if I know. Let's get out of here!" I ran to the rooftops in blinding speeds as Yan took up the pace and left the scene.

As we moved through the rooftops, both equally confused at the unexpected explosion.

"It didn't happen like this before. Remember when we first met Lao?" I reminded him, and Yan nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. An epic showdown with lightning and fire happened... But there wasn't an explosion anywhere!" Yan remembered the clash between the flames and the lightning, and with that logic, we would've been dead at the start.

"Let's NOT combine lightning and fire. As bullshit as that sounds, we-" "Who in the world are you?" We both stopped as we heard a familiar voice. Xun-Er was behind us. I gulped and coughed my voice.

"𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠." I did my best impression of my 'Batman' voice. Yan looked at me weirdly at the deep, rough voice.

*He's doing the Batman voice...*

Xun-Er narrowed her eyes. "Who are you? What were you doing at the Jia Lie Clan's residence?" She demanded.

'Xiao Yan Zi, pass control of your body to me...' I heard Lao speak to Yan.

"Someone asked a favour of me." Lao's voice spoke in Yan's mouth. Xun-Er's eyes softened into blue eyes.

"A favour?" She asked.

"𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚... 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐈𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐭." I answered, sounding a bit weird to hear the Batman saying 'From a... Big Idiot.', which sounds childish and out of character for him. Xun-Er frowned as she flared her Golden Dou-Qi and her eyes gleamed in gold.

"If you don't want to answer... Let's try doing this a different way!" She flared her Dou-Qi to her palms menacingly.

Lao sighed. "Young people nowadays... What happened was that some deplorable trash tried to hit on a girl who was very important to this idiot! And because he knew me, he dragged me here to help him!" I imagined Yan dragging away Lao's ghost body while deadpanning.

Xun-Er's eyes softed into a smile as her Dou-Qi subsided quickly. "Ah?! That must mean Old Mister knows Xiao Yan Ge-Ge!" She realised that both of us weren't enemies of Yan.

"In the past, I could only guess. Even then, I wasn't too sure. But Xiao Yan Ge-Ge having recovered his powers, is because of you two, right?" She realised the real reason of Yan's sudden advancement.

"Lass, you're pretty sharp. Though, this is my-" "𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞." I answered for him, lying that I was actually training Yan too. Xun-Er raised an eyebrow.

"For this matter, Xun-Er would like to thank Old Mister, but... If Old Mister ever thinks of doing anything to Xiao Yan Ge-Ge, Xun-Er will definitely not let you off!" She warned, gleaming her golden eyes in seriousness.

"Oh?" Lao spoke.

"Please trust that Xun-Er has the ability to back up those words! It's getting late, farewell!" She moved to leave the scene, but however, Lao stopped her.

"Hold on, take this!" Lao threw a bottle to Xun-Er, who catched it in confusion.

"You will feel fatigued after using a secret ability, this bottle of 'Qi-Recuperating Powder' will help you get well faster, else that idiot will worry." Lao, being the wingman for his student. He's obviously having fun paring these two.

I saw Xun-Er slightly blush in thanks, and accepted the bottle and left the scene via flying. I cupped my mouth to make my voice louder.

"𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐠𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚��! 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭!" I advised loudly. It still sounds weird using the batman voice...

After Xun-Er left, Lao appeared into existence and smugly grinned. "Such a head-strong lass! Say the truth! How did you manage to capture her heart?" Lao pointed at Yan, who turned beet red in embarrassment.

"Its... a secret!" Aah, the perks of being a Chick Magnet is one of the perks of being an MC. Harem, harem, harem...

Nowadays, Self-Inserts or OC-Inserts are out to find women to 'add to their harem collection' with unknown and bullshit means, and you viewers already know as:

Bad character development, unknown (horny authors writing smut) increase of hormones to female leads, shitty grammar, and fucking bullshittery to urge to have a harem for no goddamn reason.

I may have no interests for love, but I know that breaking and manipulating hearts from another's desires is fucking bullshit.

I would rather spend my time killing 'Bad Inserts' that do this shit, and let the unfortunate female lead live her life, but I'm too buzy completing a cultivation novel plot.

Fortunately, Yan has no interests of having a harem. Yes, you got that right, you fucking viewers of the internet. While it did say there would be SIGNS of harem, but it didn't say it's going to happen here.

GET PRANKED, IDIOT!

Jokes aside, don't hate the Author because he's too busy writing paragraphs of my texts. He doesn't mind harems, just wants a good story, no matter the tags they put in.

Here's my message. OR, more exactly, the Author's message:

𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚. 𝑺𝒖𝒓𝒆, 90% 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 ����𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒔, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅?

𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒍. Let's get this over with...

As I quote the Author himself: 'If it has good story development and logical reasons that a girl can love the MC, then fine.'

Honestly, I don't know I'm saying.

Just... I think what is the Author's saying, is... Suggesting to not write a harem fic where everyone is a whore?... And good stories are judged from their texts, not their tags and cover?...

I know you write all this nonsense because you want to fill your word count, Author.

[AN: Guilty as charged.]

I thought so.

Fuckin' fanfic writer.

...

In the next day, Yan decide to meet his father for an important talk...

"Yan-Er, have you met with the Old Mister recently?" Xiao Zhan asked his son, who scratched his head awkwardly.

"Yeah, he plans me to make me his disciple." Yan replied, not technically lying to his father. Xiao Zhan's eyes gleamed in hope.

"Good! A tiger will truly never have a dog off-spring!" He slammed powerfully to his son's shoulders.

"Ouch... Softer, father!" Yan winced in pain.

"Actually, your Father has something to ask of you, could you let me know the recipe to the recovery medicine from the old mister?" Xiao Zhan suddenly asked.

'Recipe? That's every receptarier's most closely guarded secret... Could Father thinking of...' Yan thought in disbelief and surprise.

Noticing his son's expression, Xiao Zhan explained throughly to prevent misunderstandings. "It's not that Father wants the recipe! But the Xiao Clan having received his kindness... The only thing we can do, is to obtain the ingredients for his kindness!"

'Aaah.... So that's why...' Yan said, adverting the crisis.

'That's fine, you're father is truly an honourable man!' Lao replied, accepting the offer.

Suddenly, Yan and Xiao Zhan felt a oncoming projectile to the Patriarch's way. An arrow had struck directly to Xiao Zhan's bottoms.

"FATHER!" Yan shouted, surprised and shocked that an arrow had hit his father.

With the calmest expression that the Patriarch can muster up, he plucked off the arrow off his body with a flat expression.

Yan dropped his jaw in shock and 'puh'-ed.

The Patriarch held the arrow and broke it in half. Rage took over him later.

"SUCH AUDACITY!!! WHO WAS IT?!" He shouted in outrage, shaking the arrow in rage as comical fire blew from his mouth. Yan sweatdropped.

Yan pointed at the paper tied to the arrow. "Father, look! A strip of paper! Could it be... A letter sent by an arrow?!" Xiao Zhan quickly calmed down the read the contents of the message.

"..... Yan-Er, quickly go get the Clan Elders to meet at the meeting hall." Xiao Zhan ordered.

"Oh! Okay!" Yan immediately responded, taking the face of the seriousness.

"AND!" Xiao Zhan suddenly called out.

"Some medicine..." Xiao Zhan rubbed his back in pain, causing Yan to sweatdrop once more.

...

In the meeting hall, the Head Elders and the Patriarch, as well as Yan grouped in for a serious meeting of a problem that might be dangerous.

"The Mitre Auction House has just sent some news. The Jia Lie Clan has found another supply source for their ingredients, they are currently on their way to Wu Dan City!" The messenger explained the conflicting news.

"Good! If we don't ambush them now, then when else can we?!" The Head Elder exclaimed. Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes.

"Calm down, this whole thing feels wrong to me..." Xiao Zhan, suspicious of the sudden news of the Jia Lie Clan moving their sources for unknown reasons... Like as if a trap.

"Why hesitate?! Even if it's a trap, if we move the entire Xiao Clan, what's there to be afraid of?!" The Second Head Elder exclaimed, the Patriarch was about to speak but was interrupted.

"Stop being Wishy-washy! Pass down the order! We will lay an ambush Twenty Li outside Wu Dan City, our target is the Jia Lie Clan's carriage!" The Head Elder ordered, completely ignoring the Patriarch's objections.

"By the way, Clan Leader, why do you keep standing?" The Second Head Elder called out in curiousness.

"Ah... That's because-"

"Yan-Er! Shut up!"

...

Thirty Li outside of Wu Dan City, in the mountain road, we were waiting/hiding for the carriages of the Jia Lie Clan in the nearby trees.

"Xiao Yan Zi, in the end you still came by yourself... If it wasn't for Mark noticing your motives..." Lao glanced at me. I was currently wearing my dark cloak, with some additional features. A black facemask, bandaged gloves, my custom belt for holding my Arc Battery, holster, and proto-saber, and some toys, such as explosives...

"I kinda forgot. Though, I appreciate the help. If there were news about a sudden supply movement, Ya Fei would've contacted me directly. Not father... What I'm afraid of..." He trailled off, suspicious of the sudden unknown movement of the Jia Lie Clan...

"Quiet. It's here." I motioned, as we both held our breaths as we saw the Jia Lie Clan's carriages marching through the road.

Using the Force Senses, my thoughts were answered as I felt something strange. Yan felt it too, when he asked Lao about this mentally.

'Yes... A 2-Star Grand Master, twenty Masters, many more Practitioners.... There's even a Spirit rank person in the carriage!' Lao exclaimed, revealing the fact that the Jia Lie Clan was ready for war.

"... Let's try 'that' out." I replied, quietly cracking my neck in preparation. Yan widened his eyes in shock.

"You mean... 'that'?" I nodded, and Lao appeared into existence and prepared himself also.

"Let us see if your theory works out!" Lao flared his Essence Flame, igniting a icy-blue fire of coldness and destruction.

#Flashback Starts#

"Okay, so... how did THAT happen?" Yan asked incredulously, recalling the events of the bullshittery explosion. We were in the Forests where we usually trained, and happened to be VERY confused of the cause of the explosion.

"I have no clue. Bullshittery is what I'll call it." I comically widened my eyes in explanation. Yan, in frustration, threw his arms up in the air.

"How. Does. Lightning and Essence Flame equal a huge EXPLOSION?! SERIOUSLY! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!" Yan screamed in frustration, and glanced at me for answers.

"Since we don't know... Let's make another one." I casually suggested, crackling my fingers with Red Hot Cosmic Lightning, while Lao appeared and rubbed his palms in a villainous way.

"Yes, EXPLOSIONS! Curious it might be, I want to more about this..." Lao flared his Essence Flame, causing me to raise my eyebrow. Lao acted somewhat out of character for him. Did F possess him?

"WAIT WAIT WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!" Yan exclaimed in terror, frantically waving his hands everywhere in desperation.

"Making a small enough explosion that hopefully won't kill us. What, you honestly thought we would be stupid enough to kill ourselves?..." I deadpanned, while sending a small spark of lightning to Lao's flames.

POOF!

"Hmm... That's interesting..." I mused myself, taking in the new breakthrough to this. Yan heavily sighed in relief.

"Why were so... frustrated? Explosions." I suddenly asked out of the blue, curious of Yan's sudden worry for explosions. Yan sighed.

"I dont know... I just hate not knowing the answers to... bullshittery. It's so frustrating, not knowing for the exact reason why it happened for no reason...." Yan confessed, bullshittery doing its thing to cause everyone to be... frustrated.

"Happens to everyone, Yan. I'm the most experienced person so far, and I've gone to the point that it's just bullshit in general. Try not to think about it..." I advised, dealing with my fair share of bullshittery in the past.

The only reason that I'm not sharing this with y'all is that this fanfiction is classified... MA-15?

Something, something. Not fitting for younger boys and girls like you. My fair share of bullshittery tops from the little stuff of the Dark Web...

[AN: Note that I do not go in the Dark Web. It's just an exaggeration on how BAD Mark's bullshittery moments were...]

"Got it. Synchronization Dou-Qi." I explained, causing the two to gain their focus to me.

"What happened.... was that the Red Hot Cosmic Lightning and the Bone-Chilling Flame actually... Merged together into a fucking explosion." I began my explanation of the theory of what the fuck happened.

"Your Essence Flame was cold and hot. Basically impossible in the laws of physics. How can a fire be cold and warm at the same time? No idea. But, the flame itself is filled with Dou-Qi. The lightning that I used were only filled with destructive Dou-Qi, and might've fused with the flame and caused a huge enough explosion that might've almost killed us." I explained. Both Yan and Lao were confused.

"So... think of this. The flames was the fuel, and the lightning was the ignitor. The flames were filled with Dou-Qi... The lightning were filled with destructive-intended Dou-Qi. They both added together, then... BOOM." I waved my hands in describing an explosion. Yan tilted his head in still-unanswered confusion.

"If that was so, why didn't it-" "Because synchronization Dou-Qi. Lao and I... were 'synchronised' to the point where we unconsciously merged our Dou-Qi." I explained the synchronization theory. Lao raised an eyebrow.

"What is... this synchronization?" Lao asked, interested at this new theory of mine.

"Synchronization. Two things doing the same thing, each doing a same thing. When we discovered that receptarier had THAT, we had the same goal. Burn the bastard. We had the same goal, and sooo.... lightning + fire = mass explosion." I explained, the reason there wasn't a good explosion that would've killed us at the start.

"Sooo.... You're saying that Master's Essence Flame merged with your sith lightning and caused an explosion?" Yan summerised/asked to me. I nodded.

"Basically." I replied with a shrug. Lao shrugged too.

"I'm not surprised... There were some examples of this 'synchronization' in the Dou Continent, and only higher beings can use this to make a powerful techinque." Lao added, revealing the fact of some being using combination techniques.

"Um... So what do we do now?" Yan asked, glancing at me carefully. I deadpanned and grab ahold of his shoulders to prevent escape.

"We. Are going to. Make a combo technique that will kick ass. Let's train." I summerised, causing Yan to sweat.

"I can't escape from the hellish suffering of training, can't I?" Yan sighed a heavy breath and accepted his fate. I deadpanned.

"Walk it off. There's everything worse than this. We just gotta prepare this." I advised, causing Yan to roll his eyes.

#Flashback Ends#

"You're saying that we blow out flamethrowers from our mouths and Master's Essence Flames will intensify it?" Yan asked again. I nodded as I positioned myself a certain Madara's stance.

"Whatever the results may be, it will be very destructive!" Lao commented.

...

"Sir, please calm down.." The Jia Lie Clan Second Elder, Jia Lie Nu reassured the master receptarier who was crying.

"You said that my disciple died from the vile actions of the Xiao Clan?... Sob..." Liu Xi's Master Receptarier, Xuan Wu cried out.

"Handsome disciple, master misses you!" The master receptarier waved around a crude and inaccurate drawing of Liu Xi.

"This is a drawing of my disciple. I've always carried it with me. To think I'll be sending him off today..." The Second Elder sweatdropped as the master receptarier continued to cry.

"Hng, I must get revenge for them killing my disciple! Xiao Clan, I will make sure to destroy every single one of you!" The master receptarier crushed the drawing in anger as he seethed in hatred.

"Master Xuan Wu, calm down, we previously impersonated as the Mitre Auction House to send a letter to the Xiao Clan, they will surely fall for the trap and prepare an ambush in front of us! They have no way of retaliating and will definitely be wiped out!" Jia Lie Nu stated.

"Report! Sirs!" The messenger ran to the carriage.

"There are black cloaked men in front of our carriage blocking out route!" The messenger told them, causing Jia Lie Nu to peek out of the carriage in confusion.

...

'Fire Style... Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu!' I chanted, focusing my Fire Element inside me to burn. While this technique was comparing a pebble to a diamond, as the real Fire Release of the Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu was more destructive and more powerful... Mine was slightly close to the famous Army-Killer jutsu.

I blew out flamethrowers from my mouth (from the training I've done) and engulfed the carriages in a sea of flame. The carriages burned in orange blazing light, as the unfortunate people screamed in terror from the fire hell.

Yan ignited Lao's flames and mixed in the Essence Flame into the carriages and engulfed the area with icy-blue flames. Soon, nothing was left as the remains of the carriages were smoking ashes.

"Jesus..." I spoke out. There were nothing but smoking remains of the people we just incinerated because of an experiment.

"Well... That went well." I commented with a sweatdrop, looking to Yan's side. Yan looked at me also. This was out of my expectations....

Well, Fire + Lightning + Same Goals = Big Ass Explosion...
