Yang Li had gotten into it with the family of her now ex-boyfriend. Her classmates have shifted the blame to her for what happened to the spoiled brat. Not only was she beaten to near death and then kicked out of the hotel without her belongings but she couldn't even use the hotel phone.
Running afoul of Baldy Liu. Who attacked her pretty openly. The staff were aware of who it was and didn't do anything. With most of the security at the tournament and outside the hotel, it was hard to do much. Don't even mention the police in this type of matter.
Luckily, YanYan Hu and Airi were in the lobby resting and chatting. Having heard the commotion they arrived before the man dragged her off to a room. Unfortunately, the two were restricted by their "Household" and the safety of Yang Li took priority instead of dealing with him.
"I see." Rexford looked at the once pretty young woman clinging for her life oddly. The paramedics were occupied and the ambulance was taking forever to arrive still. Traffic was too busy to send her that way. Running her was an option as well for one who could take the pace. "This will hurt Lili, but you will be fine when you awaken."
She gave a little nod. Eyes closing slowly.
*Drip!* Rexford dropped a bit of spiritual blood onto her open wounds. It was composed of the blood in his powerful body and mixed in with concentrated Qi. Placing his hand on her chest and back, he slowly ran a simple cultivation through her. Well not so simple really.
After Aunt Tang's incident, Rexford had mixed a type of treatment method with the Taiji Exercises, Qindgdi Changsheng Method, and Medical understanding learned from his past friends. The Mini already getting on his case about taking courses to get a medical degree.
This was not a bad idea since it would allow more business chances and access to places without trouble.
*Drip!* Another drop of blood kept her heart pumping strongly. With parts already entering her brain to make sure no problem developed there.
With her passed out, it would take too much of his qi to make sure everything was flawless. Rexford was not about to do that. Something already nudging in his mind that this person was not gonna give him anything good afterward.
What happened to her occurred through an act of Violence, Rexford was banking on that to help him in a way to help heal her now. Unlike Aunty Tang who went down a cliff, which caused her marks and bodily damage.
*Schlick!* A cut matching the cut on her cheek appeared on Rexford before healing.
*Crackle!* Bones realigned internally for her but then broke for him then healed.
*Snap!* A twisted ankle went back in place. The snapback for Rexford caused a few to swallow their puke.
"This.. is barbaric." Yu Wenjing couldn't watch after seeing a bruise disappear on Yang Li's abdomen. She knew it would appear on Rexford but it was not visible to see with his clothes on.
"To take in the wounds themselves...I can't believe it." Rina said. She spoke too soon about another matter. "At least he doesn't take in the trauma as well."
"That's not the case at all. He is getting both." Sini Dova's eyes were glowing as she looked at Rexford's face changing. It went from anger to disgust in certain instances. Her Alliance with him was stronger than the other serving women. "These wounds are too minimal to hurt someone like him."
"Haa!" Yang Lin took a deep breath when the damage from her lungs went away. It was a good thing she hadn't taken an ambulance. Odds are she would have died from the perforated lung. "I am good, you can stop now."
"No." Rexford said sternly. While taking the wounds on to himself he did feel the pain she felt. The Violent & Fear qi soaked into him. He also received visions of sorts. As if looking through the eyes of Yang Li while it happened. "I am proud of you for fighting back. Do you want me to kill them for you?"
Yu Wenjing and Jiang Churan were shocked to hear him say it so simply. The others only flinch from hearing him say that. Yang Li was conflicted but she didn't want to create any trouble.
"No, it will be ok." Despite his usual self, Rexford didn't try to persuade or stroke her feelings on the matter. "I am just happy to be alive."
9 minutes later he was done. Yang Li was full of energy but the shadow of the attack was still there. Haunting her a little. She shared a look with Rexford that the others didn't quite understand.
"Biao, go and speak to the manager about what happened. Since Yang Li does not want to be involved, keep her name out of it. Yang Chao, take some of the others to go and get her stuff from the room."
Biao and the serving women left besides Yanyan Hu. She tended to Yang Li for the psychological aspect of what she went through. A'Xiu took Sini Dova and Yang Chao to security since she knew the manager.
Rexford entered the bathroom and soaked in the tub. He took in more than just the attack she went through. He was instilled with every violent act she experienced and fearful moment. Not small ones like throwing a rock upset or jumping from an animal that spooked you.
Fear that caused the soul to grow from almost experiencing death or dripping terror that caused the heart to seize. Violent acts such as fighting for one's life or receiving a violent blow that almost killed one.
'Head to the bath.' The Mini instructed. 'I think that will help. Also.. I think you saw bits of her past and her original future. At one point she looked to be much older and had kids with her. I think she was going to end up with that shit-heel boyfriend.'
Rexford didn't like the sound of that at all. IF diving deep into the Fear of an individual person or the Violence they experienced would trigger that, he would have to increase his Mental Cultivation a great deal to cope with that type of psychological impact.
'I should be able to transfer that information into the Black Gold Vortex. After all, it contains a lot of useless information. The future changes too much for a normal person. Especially one with no overall "Destiny" like her.'
"Haaa, these memories hit too close to home." Rexford dipped under the water the moment it filled up halfway. Not caring who heard him. 'If my teachers were here... I wonder what they would tell me?'
*Bloop!* A bubble went up as Rexford drifted into his own memories. Lost in the certainty of it all. The Black Gold Sun tattoo on his back glows in tune with the Black Gold Vortex in his soul. He remained under for hours as the Mini removed the information sending it up to make Mental Energy for use.
Not until the others returned and went into the bathroom did anything change. All the water was gone with Rexford's skin looking a little glossy as the hair grew back. Visible to the naked eye.
Chang Wen would have left him be but the event that he needed to take care of was starting. Plus she could see his dick and bad thoughts were entering her young mind.
Unlike the normal attire Rexford wore, he switched to one with a little change. The letters Ansatsuken were in dark red. His mood also matches it a little.
He was out for blood.
Yu Wenjing, Jiang Churan, Rina, Airi, Yang Li, and Ji Xingyu headed back home. Wei Ziqing agreed it was better they did not see what happens in the fights. Yang Li not returning to the college for now. Agreeing with Yanyan Hu and Sini Dova that she needed to talk about what happened before it was too late.
.
Final Fights-
.
Xing Zhong of Tianhe City with his group. Zhuo Tinhao of Chuzhou City with the Chuzhou masters and Biao. Xu Ao of Haidong with Baldy Liu and, Ms.Lu of Jiangzhou with a family guard, Wei Fu, Wei Changgeng, with the Wei 3rd generation.
Wei Ziqing had wanted Rexford to sit with them because of what was going on but let it be. She watched as he moved to an area for him and his people. With the Masters of Chuzhou and several others getting up to pay respects to him. This had the people excited at the newcomer. They were aware of those with them who fought over the past days and won.
"Some upstart and some little girl from Jiangzhou sitting up there! What is this crap!?" A rowdy person called out.
"Heh, guess the old man finally kicked the bucket. Sending you out here." Baldy Liu ridiculed.
*Woom!* A blast of qi left Rexford and smashed into the man's mouth. Blooding his jaw instantly as he collapsed.
"Apologize to her.. or lose your tongue." Rexford's violent qi oppressed the man to the ground. "If I have to say it twice, I will just rip it out."
Ms.Lu looked over at him in shock. Those with her immediately asked if she knew who it was. She had no idea of course really. She knew about as much as the rest concerning Rexford.
"Young man.." Xu Ao was trying to reign him in but that was a mistake as Rexford glared at him eyes glowing. He too was caught under the violent energy. "Guh!" If not for the master with him, he would have been in trouble.
"Bitches are not allowed to talk when I conduct business. Learn your place." Rexford scowled. His canines showing making him appear more menacing. 'He thought I was joking about his business! I will take it all or destroy it all!'
The crowd couldn't believe what was going on. Xu Ao had the most authority in Jiangbei and here he was getting owned by a young man. The same man someone just called an upstart.
That person wanted to just hide in the crowd now.
"Give me a favor young friend and don't bully the old fool." Wei Changfeng said. Xu Ao never honored the favor he owed him. So it was best to knock him down a few pegs even more. "Don't say I didn't try to help you."
After finally getting into martial arts and seeing actual results, Wei 3rd was a changed man. His father respects him a hell of a lot more for it.
"Just this once... for you my friend." Rexford reigned in his violent qi. Relaxing a little after making his point. The crowd was now fearful of him after just seeing a little of his abilities. "I want his life today. No matter what."
"I understand." Sini Dova said next to him. "Are you going to be ok?"
"Hmm, oh yes. Just thinking about something is all." Rexford gave her a normal smile. Which removed the tension most of them were feeling. "Just making sure that some matters are taken care of. Keep an eye on the waters. A martial artist should be coming from that direction."
"Kuff! Kuff!" Xu Ao coughed up some blood. His dignity having been crushed a good bit he needed to show his prestige. "Everyone from across the County who come here today, Jiangbei will divide our spheres of influence and end old grudges. All decisions will be based on the results of today."
The crowd murmured as the excitement hadn't died down yet.
Baldy Liu entered in the arena down below. Barking madly.
"You got me with a trick punk! Come down here and fight me like a man!" His embarrassment overshadowed by his anger.
"No need for Master Mingyun to waste his time." Biao entered the arena to oppose him. "I believe we have business to discuss already."
"Humph! Fine, I will take care of you first. Linfu County and the Transport Line from Chuzhou through Qinghui is all mine. Do you accept the wager?"
"I Biao, 1st of the Ansatsuken disciples accept." Biao gave a bow of respect and took his stance.
