The most powerful ancient art!
Right now the Scorpion-Lion is furious and seems to be letting out hate that was accumulated over a long period of time, it seems to have been beaten up by a relative of Yàobān Heng which would explain it's great dissatisfaction towards her.
"I don't know what you speak of beast but I will not allow you to badmouth my family!! If you're aware of how strong the Flare panda sect is, you'll let us go and I'll ignore your fouls words" Yàobān Heng said with a very displeased tone and expression as she got off Ky's back and made an effort to stand up beside Ky, who ended up helping her stand even though he doesn't know what she's trying to do.
(Did this lass lose it?!... Well, we're going to get killed anyway, I like her style, acting tough till the end is it?.... If only I could talk! I would definitely make this thing vomit blood with all my bullsh*t) Ky had a thought that alone would make the Scorpion-Lion vomit blood from how crazy it is for a mortal to think that in front of a 5th rank beast.
"Do you really believe I would be afraid of them? I'm a much higher lifeform now than I was then, and even if I was afraid of them, how would they know it was me?" The Scorpion-Lion answered Yàobān Heng, it's actually bluffing and it's indeed afraid of facing a strong sect, but why would it worry when there's no way to put the blame on it? It will not only get revenge but only an acceptable meal.
Just like virgin women, cultivators are also used by beast to strengthen themselves but unlike mortals, cultivators are hard to deal with and the effect might be good or bad depending on what type of cultivation path said cultivator follows, so beasts always prefer to aim for mortal virgin females rather than cultivators unless they are lucky and find a cultivate that's weaker than them and has no strong backing.
"You are a fool if you believe they would let the da-.... son of the sect leader roam alone without any kind of special protection!" Yàobān Heng said with confidence and a straight face despite her current weak state, and the Scorpion-Lion's expression changed at that moment into an ugly one. "This bracelet in my hand summons instantly the experts of my sect automatically under life and death danger, at this distance from the five elements City, I'm sure you're aware of how fast a great treasure like this will work!" Yàobān Heng said with an unshakable confidence that made the Scorpion-Lion pale and concentrate on the bracelet.
When the Scorpion-Lion observed the bracelet for a little it could indeed feel the aura of a strong treasure that should be capable of doing what Yàobān Heng just said, making the Scorpion-Lion reconsider how to act. "Well, let's not act rashly. We can discuss this, I'll rethink my decision and you'll be sure to.... DIE!
It seems it planned to destroy the reputation of the Yàobān family, which wouldn't be hard considering that those who work under beasts are seen as garbage and the low levels with no honor, and that would mean the Scorpion-Lion would kill two bird with one stone by destroying the family's reputation, and killing the next heir which would be a great blow not even speaking of the effects it would have on the reputation of the sect.
Immediately the attack of the Scorpion-Lion which was three halo-like waves covered by a high voltage that emits a very high pressure on both Yàobān Heng and Ky.
Just as the attack was launched Ky's honed battle instincts activated, as he let go of Yàobān Heng and grabbed his katana with both hands and. "hhhhmmm!!(Shadow samurai's dance:Infinitely layered slash!!). With both hands, Ky made a movement that is comparable to a swordmaster and the sword made a circular motion that transmitted the illusion that Ky had countless arms repeating this same movement and just like that the attack collided with Ky's movement and a great explosion happened. All this happened very and nobody saw what happened exactly.
There was a smoke curtain from the explosion and the Scorpion-Lion started laughing.
"Hahaha! Finally a part of my revenge complete! I truly did not expect it to be so soon, I believed I would have to wait at least 1000 or 2000 years before I could do anything worth it! Who would have thought that guy's descent would be so stupid and enter the lion's den on its own, hahaha, this is truly a very satisfying ending even though I wanted more, I'll have to contend with what I got, luckily that boy was bluffing.... Otherwise, it would be a bother but I couldn't let such a chance slip by" The Scorpion-Lion was already celebrating its victory, of course, because there's no way a mortal and a Core creation cultivator could go against it, much less survive one of its attacks so there's no reason to worry at all.
In that exact moment, the smoke dispelled and a young man with white hair and Purple eyes could be seen with his body full of blood and trembling probably from the excessive amount of damage it suffered while there was a beautiful red-haired young woman behind him in complete awe for the scene she just witnessed and completely unaware that her disguise was destroyed.
*Cough* (I really need to learn how to control my battle reactions better..... My body reacted before I could even think... Also, I bleed? I didn't expect that... Just one attack and I'm already in this state.... Not even mentioning it didn't seem to use it's full power.) Ky coughed a mouth full of blood which he didn't expect to have since he's not human but an energy-based life form but it seems that in his current state he does have blood. But now he's worried about the fact one attack left him in a near-death state, the little tiny bit hope of survival he had of survival was now destroyed by the cruel reality.
Actually, Ky was extremely lucky to have survived, it was all due to the three factors he's not even aware of. The first thing is the green mask which increased his defensive power greatly, the second was his Katana together with the unique sword technique he used and the third one is Yàobān Heng's bracelet, which had its power devoured by Ky's Katana which is something he's totally unaware of. If it weren't for these three situations, both Yàobān Heng and Ky would be dead now!
"No.... NO WAY! Absolutely impossible!! A mortal dares to stop my attack!!" The Scorpion-Lion is furious and feels humiliated that a mere mortal dares to resist its mighty power!
"I Kin Yun the sage of the east dare you to attack me again and you'll face a fate worse than NINE DEATHS!!" Ky shouted with a power that should be impossible for someone in his state with his demon-like smile and the aura of his Katana that has gotten stronger without him noticing, and the pressure he emits as he takes his battle stance despite his terrible state is very intimidating!
(If nothing else works we have to rely on the most powerful ancient art! The art of BULLSH*T!!) Ky thought inside as he maintained the seriousness outside.
