"Arrghh," the girl with black hairs screeched, while pulling her last bit of strength to stand up,
the poison on her body almost drained her qi, and essence, even though she is a peak 4th cultivator, without her qi and essence, she couldn't perform a technique,
"you moth*r fu*ker.. dare to fight me fairly? you, son of a who*e, go suck your mother's nipples."
"hahah... well, first let me have a taste of you.. your mother can wait, hahaha."
the man with blue hairs laughed like a crazy bastard, while the girl was struggling to stand up, the bystanders were running away from the scene, the girl looked at the mob and shouted.
"all you people.. are as*holes, using dirty methods.." her physical strength is also fading away...
the man slowly approached her with his disgusting smile, the woman started to move backwards.
Ethan was holding Ma Yaling from interfering.
"Ethan, we can't just ignore it, we have to help her, this bas-" she was pissed off by the blue head, she wanted to beat the shit out of him, but...
"Let me.. handle this."
right, he can't possibly let this chance to show off his strength a little, acting hero to get beauty, is very usual in this cultivation worlds.
"Ethan!, stop it you are only at 1st stage you can't possibly do anything." she was serious, how can a 1 stage cultivator can challenge a 4th stage expert?
"you are in 3rd stage, you can't help her either, look you might end up like her."
"..uh, stil-"
"let me handle this."
he said while taking out his Katana from his storage pouch,
looking at the sword, a dazzling glow appeared on her face.
"wow.. beautiful, *ahem* but still."
"hehe.. don't worry if I can't beat him i will escape with this talisman, so don't worry, and keep a safe distance."
he reassured her, while showing a yellow glowing talisman.
she really didn't have to worry, if things goes wrong she have to use her protection talisman, or calling her beast for help.
even if they use their family medallion, they can still avoid fight though.
but that might disclose about their expedition or journey, the rival clans and supreme families in the kingdom might make a move on him, trying to capture or kill him.
(A/N - the kingdom's situation is currently messy i will explain in next chapter.)
With full of confidence, Ethan jumped on the battle grounds, between them, looking at the girl with a dazzling smile, which made her blush.
"wattcha dooin kiddo, gethe fukaoout here.."
hearing his accent Ethan chuckled.
"what? keep the dick out of your mouth, before speaking."
the man looked at his with disgust, making a face, like when you see a cock-roach,
"a 1st stage brat dare to Speak back? if you Don't want your pretty face to be ruined, get out of here at once."
"well.. thanks for the compliment, and if your mother likes to fuk ugly bastards, then what can i do?" he said while shrugging his shoulders.
it's not that funny? well, he was already pissed off by the bastard, so he was just cursing, him out of his frustration.
"y-you.. hahaha.. good good, then prepare to die,"
he rushed at Ethan while swinging his blade randomly (not a technique),
Ethan grabbed the handle of the katana, and pulled out, blocking his attack,
he got pushed back a few steps, but managed to block, without receiving any damage, but that's not all, he quickly pulled out 10 fireball talismans and used them to attack him.
the guy was shocked by the sudden fireballs, and couldn't dodge them, he sent flying a few meters away before standing back on his feet.
but the talismans were basic skills with little damage, even with the 10 talismans he couldn't cause any severe injury.
"y-you.. how did you? you are a 1st stage trash, how can you use fire balls?"he asked with a surprised tone, but it's not like he can't win, he got caught off guard.
Ethan was not stupid enough to argue with him, "Lily, now it's time for our show."
"hehee.. "
the guy looked around, who is he talking to?
"fine, let's end this quick."
the girl passed out because of the poison.
the man looked at the sleeping beauty, while licking his lips.
"Rigid breaker, 2nd stance, blade of annihilation."
the man foucused his, yin-yang qi to his blade, but unlike the previous one, the sword started to glow orange, while the knight's shadow appeared again.
there wasn't even a slightest bit of fear in Ethan's eyes, but a confident smirk.
"death march sword formation, 1rd style, fury slash"
Ethan's body stayed there while, his remaining little amount of yang qi, started to flow to his left leg, and waist.
the sword started to glow bloody red,
but there wasn't any shadow Avatar behind him.
"w-what are you? you are hiding your cultivation base."
the man startled by the sudden chilly atmosphere, the faint blood mist covered the whore area, as the man was in his vicinity, he started to feel despair.
'no, no that must be a illusion, he is just a 1st stage trash, he doesn't even have yin qi.' the man thought, comforting himself.
"come on."
"haa-" the both charged at each other, it's not a battle of sword mastery but a battle of strength and speed, there wasn't any complicated move, it's just the way of the sword formation, the destructive power...
*clank* their swords met, they both pushed each other back.
"wha-at? how is this possible, this is my strongest attack how can a mare 1st stage-"
*clank* Ethan didn't want to loose this opportunity so he attacked him again, trying to caught off guard.
"aarghhh.." the man screamed as the blade managed to cut his skin through the armour, inside his clothes,
but suddenly Ethan puked a mouthful of blood, while panting heavily.
"y-you how dare you.. Rigid breaker, 3rd stance, absolute destruction."
he immediately moved his qi to block the blood flow from his chest and rushed for a counter attack.
but Ethan has still something up for his sleeves, he was waiting for his chance to show off, it's a pity that the lady had already passed out, but it's not like there wasn't any one to experience his glory.
Mo Yaling was looking at Ethan with admiration, her eyes were shining.
"what? he can fight with a 4th stage cultivator, even managed to deal damage? wow.." she thought to herself as she always thought of him as a trashy prince, but he managed to give her a lot of surprise,
first his temperament, his cold yet warm expressions, and last but not the least, his terrifying strength, she started to wonder is she could be a match for him...
back at the battle.
"aarghh.. h-how is this possible? who are you?" the man was kneeling before him they both were exhausted, and catching their breath,
but there's more.. that man's right hand is gone.
"now... it's a lesson for you get the fuck out of here, or your head would be next."
Ethan said in a poker face trying to hide his injuries and exhaustion, he was barely standing there..
"... i will remember this.." the man said while running away.
but Mo Yaling suddenly appeared in front of him.
"you are not going any where..." she said while kicking his guts.
"aarghhh." the man flew back towards Ethan.
Ethan gathered his strength and flung his sword, cutting him in two.
"Ethan!.." Mo Yaling rushed to him, as he dropped on the floor as darkness swallowed his vision.
____
as Ethan opened his eyes he found himself in his inn.
"ah.. Yaling, where am i?" he said while rubbing his temples, looking at the tanned Beauty beside him, leaning over her body to the wall, and her legs were over him.
"..umhh, Ethan?" she said while rubbing her eyes, showing that she was sleeping. it took her some to recall all that happened.
"ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" she said while panicking.
"yeah, i am all right, what about the girl?"
"she is alright, i gave the antidote, and she is resting."
"that's good, by the way, can you move your legs?" he said while a little mischievous smile on his face.
"Y-Yes , i-i cam explain.."
Ethan got up grabbing her waist,
"W-waht are you doing?" he closed his face to her, and slowly whispered on her ears, "it hurts you know.."
"w-what?" he lifted her from the bed and put her next to him.
(let me explain- the bed was on the corner of the room, and Ethan was lying on the bed straight while Yaling was sleeping in a cross, her legs were on his thighs, and was leaning over to the wall.)
