Chapter 12: Tremor

"The Father!"

This name has been given to me not just because I have a daughter. Those who know the true meaning of my name are no longer in existence.

Down... Down... Down...

Dragon Slayer Xu kept going down continuously. He had no idea what was happening.

"The Father sure hasn't lost his touch. You know what, I give up." Dragon Slayer Xu raised his hands in defeat.

"You expect me to be..." The Father was just about to mock him for thinking he would fall for his lofty tricks of feigning defeat.

I mean, who is this? The one and only Dragon Slayer Xu. The legend. The man who shook nations in his prime. The first man to ever slay three primordial evil dragons. Even if he has gotten older, he is still one of the strongest in the village they reside in.

While he was still speaking a flame ball as big as a fist forcefully entered his mouth down to his stomach.

"What the heck?" The Father was flustered. What happened to him was strange and difficult to understand. Because despite him seeing the flame entering his body he didn't feel a single burn in the slightest.

Ignoring him, Dragon Slayer Xu went towards the edge of the island and jumped off.

"That sly old *******. I am going to freaking kill him." After taking a closer look at himself he realized what happened. The flame that he swallowed was burning his stamina and his cultivation. Though it was terrifying it seemed to be only temporal.

'I hope he sticks to his end of the deal, ' Dragon Slayer Xu thought, remembering the deal he had with Xie Qing.

***

"I know you are reaching your end faster than usual, and even though you have harnessed a lot of strength in your lifetime, you failed to ascend just like the rest of us. But what if I offer you a way out." Xie Qing said with a smile.

"What way?" Dragon Slayer Xu raised an eyebrow. One thing his age has taught him is not to trust others easily.

Xie Qing walked closer to him and whispered in his ear.

Dragon Slayer Xu's eyes glittered in excitement. "That can't be true? Really?" He was finding it hard to get the right word.

"Just improvise the best method to carry out and leave the rest to me." Xie Qing smiled.

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

Before anyone could understand what was going on the ground shook countless times with a thundering sound.

Something was coming and they weren't sure what. Everyone got into a combat position ready to defend themselves.

But nothing came. The sound was closer and closer but that was it. Eventually, it stopped, leaving everyone bewildered.

"What the heck was that? A giant? He couldn't be a quake, could it?"

"Who knows but I sure do not want to find out?"

"What if it was a guardian angel for the treasure or something?"

A discussion broke out among the people of The Divine Visionary Sect.

"You, go check it out." Luo Qing pointed at one of her soldiers.

"M-Me." The soldier said in shock.

Dang Long!

Before the soldier could curse his predicament he fell to the floor in pieces. He was cut into many pieces by Luo Qing.

"You, go check it out." Pointing to another soldier she commanded again.

This soldier, learning from his friend's mistake, didn't waste time and went to investigate.

After a while, he came back with no news. Nothing was out of order there.

"Let's just continue the fight. I mean, with us here, what could possibly go wrong." The soldier that went earlier said.

Unknown to them, The Father was currently weakened to the point that his strength of 4 ding has been reduced to 1.5 ding.

Second Round:

The Father & Daughter vs The Divine Visionary Sect.
