The Price Of Peace.
With so many conflicts brewing, there is always bound to be chaos. *Kyaaaa*aggggh* Run away! *BOOM!* the sounds of fighting ring throughout the market district. "Looks like the disciples of the Blue Wolf Sect are harassing the girls from the Perpetual Snow Sect again"… "We've told you time and time again we don't want anything to do with you!"-"Don't be so cold now~ all we want is our young master to wed your senior sister there." - "Like i said, we don't accept! Don't you think we know about how you're suppressing us? You're the ones robbing our caravans and our food supplies. Isn't that enough for you already?" "Hoho lookie here, we've done nothing of the sort you're just slandering us! Does the Perpetual Snow Sect have no shame!?"
Ji Kuai, "the Blue Wolf sect is running rampant nowadays, they've been trying to pressure the Perpetual Snow sect into giving them their best disciple under the guise of 'Unification of strength' but everyone knows that the young master of the sect is just a horny bastard. They cause a lot of trouble for the civilians too. They break shit and don't even bother to fix it, leaving the civilians to just deal with the aftermath themselves". Tian Yi, "I'm picking up the same scent of those Blood Cult assholes.". "Wait is that true?" Ji Kuai asks reluctantly. "I think i'll give them a hand. Wait here i'll be right back", "wai- ah shit" TianYi casts a barrier over his group and jumps into the fray. "Who the hell are you to come here?" The Blue Wolf Sect asks, As the dust settles, Tian Yi emerges right in between the Blue Wolf Sect and the Perpetual Snow sect.
"Please excuse me ladies, i have a few things i'd like to ask these bastards.". "KNEEL" with one command, the Blue Wolf Sect members fall to the ground. "Wh-Who the hell is this bastard?!"-"I don't know ATTACK HIM!" members of the Blue Wolf Sect that were in hiding jump at Tian Yi. "Blaze" Tian Yi draws his blade and ignites it. "Scattering Stars" Tian Yi blocks each attack with ease and as their swords clash, needles of fire pierce each person. "You better call your leader here or else these disciples are going to burn to death".
"WHO DARES MESS WITH THE BLUE WOLF SECT" a sound attack reverberates through the market. "Hoh? A nameless warrior dares to butt in on Blue Wolf territory? Messing with our buisness?".-"Oh you must be the leader. I'm just here to confirm a few things."- *blink* *Splurt* Tian Yi blinks in front of the leader and shoots fire needles into the leaders legs "How did yo-""Ignite" as Tian Yi ignites his needles and the Blue Wolf leaders legs vaporize instantly. "AAGHHHHHHH MY LEGS" the Blue Wolf leader screams in agony. Tian Yi walking behind him says "You have the thickest scent of the Blood Sect." "Wha- hu- how do yo-". "I've come across you freaks before. That's how i know." Tian Yi Beheads the Blue Wolf leader.
"Now it's your turn." Tian Yi turns to the rest of the Blue Wolf sect members. "Come to think of it you guys actually smell rather familiar….. have you been to the 'northern villages?'".-"Sp- sp- spare spare us!". "Nah" "Dance of the weeping moon" "Ignite" Tian Yi cuts the rest of them down and ignites them leaving nothing but the dust left by the burnt corpses. "Sigh…that was brutal, you didn't even leave anyone behind." Ji Kuai interjects. "Why did you do that?" Ji Kuai asks, "The closer i got to them the stench of their Qi got stronger. It had the same stench as the lingering odor left in the northern villages." "Can Qi have an odor?" Ji Kuai asks but is interrupted by one of the disciples from the Perpetual Snow sect. "Uhm i'm sorry Sir Warrior but it seems that you have gotten into something very troublesome helping us.".
"It's alright, i was looking for their them anyway." Tian Yi replies. "Excuse me but, why were you looking for them? Maybe we could help?"- "Thanks but it's alright, this is my personal business. But if you could, would you be willing to point to which way their sect is? I'll pay them a visit later."-"It's over that way sir.." the girls from the Perpetual snow sect point to the direction that the Blue Wolf sect is. "Then if you'd excuse us." Tian Yi enters the barrier he cast over his party. "Alright you guys can head in first." "Where are you going?" Zhen Ai asks. "I'll be going to give the bandits that held you captive Hell." - "Please come back safely alright?". "I'll keep that in mind Zhen Ai, thankyou." Tian Yi smiles and sends his party into the painting.
"Did you send them back?" Ji Kuai asks. "Yeah it's going to be safer there because of what i'm about to do."- "At this point i'm already afraid to ask but, what are you going to do?" - "I'm wiping out the bastards that slaughtered the villagers." - "i don't think thats going to be a good idea." - "Why?" - "If you wipe them out don't you think the people behind them would come investigate? That would probably cause more harm than good…"- "Then what do you suggest?" - "Since there are only burn marks left here, i'll get some beggars to investigate around the Blue Wolf sect for the time being. There should be enough time considering the Blue Wolf Sect would be scratching their heads looking for their 'lost' members."
"Uhmm, Sirs, if you'd like, we could help give you some information about them.." - "huh" - "huh" Tian Yi and Ji Kuai look to the girl. "Sure, please lead the way" the girls lead Tian Yi and Ji Kuai back to the Perpetual Snow sect. Along the way, Ji Kuai stops by a branch of the beggar sect and issues the command to investigate the Blue Wolf sect. They then start walking towards the Perpetual Snow sect, they pass by a few districts and notice that the citizens around the sect were considerably thinner than the rest of the city. Like the name suggests, it's always snowing around the sect. As they get closer to the entrance, they are stopped by another group of the Blue Wolf sect.
"Halt! You're not allowed to pass through here. Leave immediately!" - "What are you doing here, this is territory of the Perpetual Snow sect. Tian Yi mumbles to Ji Kuai "These bastards smell the same." - "Wouldn't that mean that they had contact with the previous group?" Ji Kuai asks. "That does make sense" Tian Yi replies. "Should i kill them? Or do you need someone to interrogate?" - "You! Leave immediately! This is strictly the business of the Blue Wolf sect and Perpetual Snow sect!" - "Please leave this to us!" The girls from the Perpetual Snow sect say to Tian Yi and Ji Kuai. "Alright, watch out for the ones in hiding too there's around four behind us."
The girls are startled at what TianYi just said. "Huh there are four more?" - "You're senses are pretty sharp for a vagabond warrior." The four in hiding reveal themselves. "Leave these guys to me." Ji Kuai steps up. "But i could jus-" - "Shaddup! we need someone to interrogate!" - "Do i look like i'll just kill them for no reason….?". "Enough chitchat it's time to die!" The Perpetual Snow Sect girls engage and Ji Kuai follows. A battle ensues and they fight.
TianYi dodges and weaves around the enemies incoming slashes with ease, trying to avoid fighting or getting in the way of the disciples from the Perpetual Snow sect and Ji Kuai while they fight fierce battles. As Tian Yi dodges and weaves, on the Perpetual Snow sect side, he notices the fight getting fiercer and one of the assailants releases a technique very closely resembling the 'Blood Sword' from his previous fight with the blood cult executive. As he sees this Tian Yi doesn't stop himself from stepping in with his brush, he casts a shield which blocks the splatter of the attack and transmits his voice through the 'Sound Transmission Technique' to the Disciples of the Perpetual snow sect and Ji Kuai.
"Watch out for when their swords turn to liquid, that move will likely burn a hole through anything it touches." The Disciples of the Perpetual Snow sect answer "Alright!" and Ji Kuai acknowledges. They continue fighting. The fight progresses and the disciples manage to land critical hits on their opponents thinning down their numbers until theres only 3 left. Ji Kuai is holding on for dear life…. As for Tian Yi he moves around and notices the start of 'Blood Arrow' from both sides of the fight. As it gets released the arrows shoot towards them and they suddenly explode but Tian Yi shields them in time.
Tian Yi releases his Aura to suppress all of the assailants and Tian Yi chants "Dance of the weeping moon" he pounces on the assailants and burns their legsfrom each of them. They now just look horrified and laying on the ground in screaming in agony. "I'm sorry but at this point i have to intervene." He talks over voice transmission "They used 'Blood arrow' but looks like they tweaked it to explode. It was the same move that i faced when i fought one of their higher-ups". *huff huff huff huff* "Took you long enough! Any later it would have been really bad!" With everyone exhausted Tian Yi takes the chance to interrogate the leftover assailants.
They grit their teeth refusing to talk, A second later they all die. "Damn i thought only the blood cult uses poison pills." Ji Kuai cuts in. "So this basically confirms it they are indeed involved with the blood cult, the cult even teaches them the same moves.." as Tian Yi finishes talking, one of the corpses re-animate and uses 'Blood Demon Rush' Tian Yi notices and he blocks the attack with both his blades drawn. Ji Kuai and the others couldn't react on time and were hit by the aftershock of the move.
Luckily, Tian Yi was expecting it and was quick enough to shield most of the power. "Double confirmed." Said Tian Yi. "I was wondering when that move was going to come out.", with everyone disoriented, Tian Yi shows himself the way to the sect. At the door he sees a figure looking to be dragging something with it. One of the disciples notices the figure being dragged and shouts "SECT LEADER!". Tian Yi takes notice and jumps in to try and save the sect leader. He gets blocked by the other figure, so he blinks in behind them and tries to stab the figure, the figure notices and blocks the attack and counterattacking in the process.
It drops the Sect Leader and Tian Yi takes the chance to grab her. He says "Please excuse my discourteous behavior sect leader." and blinks away. Tian Yi regroups with the rest of the disciples and Ji Kuai. He lays her down and casts a healing barrier. "She's lost a lot of blood. Judging by her wounds she'll need a hell of a lot of good medicine to stabilize her but for right now i can heal her wounds so she stops bleeding.". Tian Yi says to them "keep your mouths shut alright?" Tian Yi uses his brush and brushes over her wounds and heals her the best he can. Tian Yi realizes something as he's healing her, he takes out a piece of Snowfall jade and puts it into her mouth.
Everyone is stunned, but they notice the sect leaders breathing starting to stabilize and her complexion starts to recover. Now, Tian Yi moves to confront the figure which reveals itself as the Vice Sect Leader of the Blood Cult. "You better pay me for this." He mumbles. "THAT BITCH WAS GOING TO BE MY MEAL!" the thing screams. Tian Yi draws both his swords and ignites them. Now, one burns with a white and the other with dark blue. The fight starts and Tian Yi gets charged at with 'Blood Demon Rush'. He blocks the blow and and starts his 'Dance of the weeping moon'. He charges and manages to land a hit, he ignites it immediately but it gets extinguished.
He continues with 'Scattering Stars' trading blow after blow, igniting it to no avail. The Blood Cult vice leader starts his counterattack. 'Blood Arrows!' He shouts, Tian Yi blocking most of it and dodges a few. "I'M NOT DONE" the vice cult leader shouts as he casts "Thousand Blood sword" he unleashes a wide barrage of 'Blood Swords' that splatters acidic blood everywhere. Tian Yi cant stop it but casts his shield just in time. His shield gets melted through as he casts one after another after, a few seconds later the attacks stop. He looks around and the Vice Blood Cult leader closing in on the people in the barrier. Tian Yi blinks in front and without missing a beat chants 'Midnight Barrage'.
Tian Yi attacks with his dual blades and manages to land a hit shooting the Vice Cult Leader off and away from the barrier. The Vice Cult Leader now flung in the opposite direction and the people safe, Tian Yi starts his new 'Midnight Barrage'. The Vice Cult Leader sensing danger he casts 'Blood Rain' and blocks Tian Yi's vision. Using his senses Tian Yi unleashes his 9 consecutive strikes landing only the last 3. And destroying half of the Perpetual Snow sect in the process. The Vice Sect Leader of the Blood Cult now heavily injured casts 'Demonic Consumption' he sucks up all of the vitality in the land around him and starts to heal and regenerate.
Tian Yi can't go close because he knows it's going to affect him. So he chants "Moon chasing steps" and he pairs it with 'Midnight barrage' once again. The Vice Sect Leader senses imminent danger he overloads himself using 'Demonic consumption' wanting to blow himself up along with the rest of the area. It's now a race against time. "AHHHHHHHHHH" the Vice Sect Leader hypes himself up and charges at Tian Yi, Tian Yi blocks and counters using 'Midnight Barrage' he launches the Vice Cult Leader into the air and with 'Moon chasing steps' he shoots himself upward at the Vice Cult Leader, landing one blow at a time. He slashes and dodges the Vice Cult Leader forming a 7 pointed star. With the Vice Cult leader still refusing to die Tian Yi depletes his last remaining Qi into his last 2 strikes of 'Midnight barrage'. his flaming swords combined with 'Midnight Barrage' he ignites his opponents soul and with the sheer power of the last two slashes he OBLITERATES his opponent along with 9 kilometers of mountains causing a crescent moon to be carved into the landscape.
With the final blow Tian Yi manages not only to kill the Vice Cult Leader, but he also mortally wounded the actual Cult leader who was residing in one of the mountains overlooking the Perpetual Snow Sect. Vowing to take revenge for the damage he was caused, the cult leader retreated to recuperate. With the damages the Blood Cult leader received the cult leader would have to recuperate for at least 10 years after losing an arm. The cult leader needs to do investigate and find out who caused the damage, but would he know with no traces left behind? (Except for that massive fucking crater…?)
After the battle Tian Yi falls from the sky and he's caught Ji Kuai. All of them rush heading back to the Beggar Sects main branch of Harbin City. Ji Kuai is incredibly nervous due to the aftermath of that earth-shaking blast Tian Yi unleashed. He was even more nervous trying to think of an excuse of how to explain to the Perpetual Snow Sects, Sect Leader of how half her sect got blown into oblivion…. At the same time while everyone was rushing to the beggar sects branch, Tian Yi was pulled into the dream realm by Moon.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" "HEY KID DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO PULL YOUR PUNCHES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" "KUAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA" Moon is laughing so hard that he cramps up. Tian Yi wakes up in the dream realm dazed and confused "KUAHAHAHAHAHA" wiping his tears away and trying to stretch out his cramps.Moon says to Tian Yi, "Kid, I really didn't expect you to do that." - "Huh? do what?" Go take a look after you wake up to the absolute CARNAGE you left behind in that Perpetual Snow Sect."
"Huuooooooo- alright. Since we're meeting again i'll give you some gifts. These arts are called 'Endings Eclipse' and 'Tears of the crying Moon'. 'Endings Eclipse' is several times more powerful than Midnight Barrage so use it ONLY when there is imminent danger or possibly fatal danger! The moment you start casting 'Ending Eclipse' you will hear 9 tolls each toll being considerably stronger than the last. And for 'Tears of the Crying Moon' instead of having to ignite needles its going to explode on impact and it makes it so that your blade will be able to cut through almost everything too. I'll repeat, USE THESE ONLY AS A LAST RESORT" "Oh shit- SCRAM KID" Moon pushes Tian Yi out of his dream realm. Waking up with scars all over his body Tian Yi is greeted by Ji Kuai sipping his liquor and the Perpetual Snow sects' Sect Leader changing his bandages. "You've been out for a week kid" and this pretty lady here is the Sect Leader of the Perpetual Snow Sect.
Ji Kuai says to Tian Yi, "You better explain everything about what happened to her sect. When she woke up she was screaming and sc- *urb burb*" The Sect Leader shuts Ji Kuai up and talks, "first things first i'd like to thank you for saving my disciples and me. I would like to also thank you for giving me such a precious piece of jade, it saved my life."- "My name is Li Xiu" Tian Yi's arms feel sore but he manages to push out a smile and a thumbs up. He calls for his brush and it floats over. Both Li Xiu and Ji Kuai are stunned, Tian Yi grabs it and casts a healing spell onto himself "Pwah hua alright that feels a bit better."- "man, at this point i'll believe you even if you said you weren't a sage." - "Huh?…."
Ji Kuai is already accepting reality…. "So is there anything you want to aske me?" - "yes uhm.. what happened to my sect?"- "PFFFFFT KAKKAKKAK *cough cough* " this is on you. i'm out." - with a big wide smile Tian Yi grabs Ji Kuai by the collar. "We're in this together." - "huuuuu….so, what can you remember about that night?" - "I remember that i was tending to my work and all of a sudden the Blood Cult shows up. We fight, i lose and thats all i can remember." - "Thats about right. But to start over it all started when your disciples got into an altercation at the market square. They were being harassed by the Blue Wolf Sects' young masters goons."-
"I got to know them because i stepped in….....and thats about it" - "I see, i cant thank you enough but, what do you mean my sect was 'obliterated' in the fight between you and the vice blood cult leader?" - "haven't you gone to look at the aftermath?"- "No sir warrior, i haven't" -"alright then let's go and take a look shall we?" The trio walk over to the 'Crater' and - "Yeah….i did that….." The Perpetual Snow sect Sect Leader stands there in awe of the level of carnage that happened there. Ji Kuai cuts in "at least there's a long flat spot for you to rebuild right?". "I- I guess so….", "Guard up i feel something ominous." Tian Yi says. "I'll check it out." Tian Yi heads into the direction of the ominous feeling." He comes across a cave full of dead bodies and blood. The feeling gets stronger and stronger to him. He finds a lavish name plaque and a bunch of rings.
He takes them back to Ji Kuai and Li Xiu, Ji Kuai is looking around and Li Xiu contemplates on what to do afterwards. Tian Yi gets back and shows them the plaque and seeing it Ji Kuai instantly realizes that it belongs to the Blood Cult leader. He's shocked. "i found this in a cave a few kilometers from here. You want to go check it out? Ji Kuai shakes his head and says to Tian Yi, "this is big i need to go report this to the alliance immediately. If he dropped the plaque that may mean he's hurt bad. I'll see you later." - "alright take care" - "and you ? What will you be doing miss?" - "i don't know build a new sect maybe?" - "well if it helps you could have these rings, i just happened to pick it up." - "oh no please i can pa-" *sloshhhh* gold and jewels start falling out of the rings as Tian Yi injects his Qi.
"If you got these from the Blood sect i'd recommend you clean it first. Who knows ? There maybe something bad hiding within." - both of them head to one of the few remaining houses that were a part of the sect. They head in and Tian Yi and Li Xiu comb through the pile of gold and jewels. Nothing peculiar stands out except for a few pieces of jade which Tian Yi keeps. He takes a few more pieces of gold and gives the rest to Li Xiu. "I'm sorry i can't take all this.."- "hm? Why?" - "you found it." - "did you forget i blew up your sect…?" - "Okay i'll take it then." - "Oh where are your disciples?" - "No need to worry about them, i just sent them out for some errands around the market area." - "Isn't that Blue Wolf territory?" - "Wha- oh no! We need to hurry!" "Oh? I was just planning to give them a visit" *cracks knuckles.*
As they arrived at the market, they see Li Xiu's disciples surrounded by a group from the Blue Wolf sect. Tattered up and with cuts along their bodies, it's not looking too good. "Should i step in?" Tian Yi asks. "Not just yet i'd like to see how the girls take care of each other in this predicament." - "come on girls, just hand over that pretty senior there and we can all go our own ways. We don't need to fight to the death do we?" "OVER OUR DEAD BODIES!" - "Ah its a fight to the death now" - "or you could live as our play things~" *grind* Li Xiu- "Tian Yi please don't interfere, they'll have to face many more enemies like this in the future. If they cant overcome this then it means i'm lacking as a master. " -"Sigh….fine. But if those bastards use blood cult techniques i'm jumping in." - "alright we have an agreement then."
Tian Yi pulls up his hood and *blinks* to the top of a building. The girls start fighting and Tian Yi tries to stay still. He pulls out his brush as he thinks to himself "just in case." As they fight Tian Yi notices that the girls are focusing too much on defense leaving themselves to open being on the receiving end of the attacks. *grumble* grumble* "They're just leaving themselves to get beat up!" Ji Kuai cuts in. "I know, it's pretty hard to watch like this." - "Hey look! One of them has a liquid sword!" - "Ah, that's my queue" 'healing barrier' the girls notice the barrier go up and they slump to the ground.
"Haaaa we need to go more offensive, we're just getting beaten up one sidedly." *voice transmission* "you're mostly healed, want to try again?" The girls look at each other, "En! Lets do this!" The barrier lifts and the girls are ready to fight again. The Blue Wolf sect disciples are confused to why they look all better. The girls start doing as they planned and start pushing through. *voice transmission* "You need to trust each other with your backs, remember this is a group fight." - "En! Alright!" - "Alright! Now the girls are winning!" Tian Yi realizes that Ji Kuai is standing next to him "when did you get here?" - "i was here for a while already. You just didn't bother to notice me." Tian Yi *smirks* "Look! it's the liquid sword again!"
Tian Yi casts a barrier to repel the liquid. *voice transmission* "Don't worry about the liquid swords, i'll keep them away. Focus on your group synergy." Tian Yi shoots a fire needle into the liquid sword wielders head and fries them. "Wha- what was that! Who's there!? Show yourself!" Another one uses a liquid sword but is then fried by Tian Yi. The girls finally break through and they win by cutting each one of the Blue wolf sect "Whew! Thankyou sir warrior!" - "mhm do you know what to improve?" - "teamwork!" -alright it's good that you know." *ahem* "looks like i've been too lenient with your training." a cold shiver goes down the girls spines. They try to look cute to their master with puppy eyes. "I'm your master that doesn't work with me.". "Looks like everything here is cleared up, i'll head over to the Blue Wolf sect then" - "I'll go with you!"
The Alliance just issued an order to search for remnants of the Blood Cult and exterminate them!" "Let's head over then, Li Xiu want to come? "Nah i'm good i'll stay back and train these girls for a bit" Li Xiu looks at the girls with devilish eyes. "Eeeek!". As Tian Yi and Ji Kuai leave Tian Yi asks "So, how do you want to do this?" - "We need to keep some alive for interrogation so don't just level the place." - "Got it." As they walk, the stench of the Blood Cult pierces Tian Yi's nose and he guards up. "Heads up, up ahead i smell a really strong scent of those Blood Cult bastards.
"The closer they get the stronger the scent. To the point where Tian Yi almost throws up. "Hey hey hey, you alright there?" - "The smell of blood is getting stronger. We need to be careful. Use your qi and cover yourself with it." - "alright lets get moving." Arriving at the gate of the Blue Wolf sect, both Tian Yi and Ji Kuai smell the suffocating scent of blood. "It's a newly fought battlefield" Tian Yi says. As they knock on the door a few times, no answer. They try to push their way in. The door feels like it's being stopped by something. An uneasiness washes over the both of them as they push through. Inside, they are greeted by piles and piles of bodies and blood washed floors.
They both hide their presences and start investigating. They continue to walk and they get to a door that leads to the inner courtyard. Ji Kuai cracks the door open and is face to face with the body of a naked girl with her eyes gouged out still having the look of horror on her face as her limbs were torn to shreds. Ji Kuai jumps back and pukes.
Tian Yi casts a sound proof barrier and tries to calm Ji Kuai down. With a very shaky voice "Tian Yi please, please just burn this place to the ground. That girl that girl….she was still so young. To be mutilated like that this is the work of a FUCKING DEMON" very very shaken up and horrified Ji Kuai looks like his mind is breaking down. "loud and proud it is." Tian Yi draws both his blades igniting them and breaks the barrier. And slashes the wall. *BOOOOOOM!!!* "COME OUT HERE AND FIGHT YOU BASTARDS!!!"
A red mist slowly creeps up. Tian Yi cuts the red mist with his blades he ignites the whole area with fire. In the distance a one armed man approaches. IT'S THE LEADER OF THE BLOOD CULT. The sky turns red and the wind stills.
'TRUE FLAME' 'SCATTERING STARS' Tian Yi's blades turn a bright white and he starts his attack. The Blood Cult leader uses 'Blood Fortress' to fortify his own body and absorbs each attack. Hit after hit, he's getting pierced with the true flame needles. 'IGNITE' *BOOOOOM* The Cult leader is engulfed in white flames searing his fortified body. "JI KUAI!!! ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ME OR NOT!?!" Tian Yi calls out. Ji Kuai gathers himself, he takes the girl down from hanging and channels all his strength. his eyes glow white and his polearm is incased in a white aura. They fight together.
The Blood Cult leader seeing this he chants his trump card, 'Blood Demon Form' he turns into the Blood Demon, sucking up the blood in the area, his limb re-grows and his flesh turns harder than diamonds. He unleashes 'Blood Torrent' and 'Thousand Blood Sword' using 'Blood Torrent' to direct the 'Thousand Blood sword' the torrent of blood swirls around at his will. The Blood Demon shoots it at both Tian Yi and Ji Kuai and they both try to block it but some damage goes through. Tian Yi gets splashed on his arms and Ji Kuai gets splattered on his legs and gets knocked out of the fight.
Tian Yi takes the initiative and charges forward at the Blood Demon using 'Dance of the weeping moon', 'Tian Yi pairs it with 'Tears of the crying moon'. Seeing this the Blood Demon coats himself with Blood Qi using the blood torrent he has he clashes with Tian Yi.
Blow after blow they cause damage and destruction. At the end of the exchange, Both of them take considerable amounts of damage but still, none of them falter. The Blood demon combines his 'Blood Demons Rush' and the 'Blood Torrent' and charges at Tian Yi unleashing a wild flurry of blows while Tian Yi tries to block and dodge. Tian Yi uses 'Tears of the crying moon' and 'Midnight Barrage', he slashes the Blood Demon relentlessly. Each slash creates a shockwave that thunders through the region. Each attack they throw at each other causes catastrophic damage to the surroundings. The Blood Demon taking on heavy damage, He uses his last trump card.
'Blood Demons Artillery' he flies up into the air, Tian Yi realizing this follows up using his own trump card, he uses Endings Eclipse. Both of them prepare their final move and FIRES. Tian Yi releases his DUAL SLASH and the Blood Demon releases his BLAST. As the moments before their attacks meet Tian Yi's 'Endings Eclipse' Tolls 4 times hoping its enough Tian Yi directs the Blood Demons blast and his dual slash into the sky not wanting to obliterate the surrounding again. In a pillar of White and Red the light was so bright, it illuminated the night sky turning it day for a few moments. The light was followed by a sound that was loud enough to had been seen and heard by the people 5 provinces over. That sound signaled the Death of the Blood Cult Leader.
Tian Yi drops down exhausted. He walks over to Ji Kuai sitting alone and sits next to him. "That fight was so intense i couldn't even keep up, i couldn't even join back in." Ji Kuai mumbled. "Don't worry about it. I still managed, and you look like you're going to have a lot of work ahead of you." A few seconds later, a few people came and saw the carnage. Tian Yi about to draw his blade and Ji Kuai notices this and puts his hand the hilt of Tian Yi's blade. "They're good guys." -Both of them are sitting there as the people walk over.
A few Martial Alliance officials get there and they look at them but stay silent. Not going anywhere Tian Yi and Ji Kuai just sit there exhausted. A moment later the leader of the Martial Alliances Harbin branch walks over to them. The Martial alliances branch leader asks who they were and Ji Kuai pulls out his Beggars Sect token, seeing Ji Kuai's token the Martial Alliance branch leader lets out a long *Sighhhh* "so what happened here?With the level of destruction i'd guess a small war broke out." Ji Kuai smirks and replies, "Yeah a war did happen" - "With who exactly?" - Tian Yi pulls up The severed head of the Blood Cult leader. As the Martial Alliance branch leader sees the head he immediately casts a blocking barrier blocking any sound and anyone seeing he asks "Is that who i think it is?" - "Yup" Ji Kuai answers.
Knowing the level of security this needs he tells the both of them to go with him to the Martial Alliances Branch. They get there and see a grand building. Walking inside they head directly to the Branch leaders office. They get there and sit down. The branch leader casts another barrier and tells them to explain. *Using Voice Transmission* "Don't talk i'll explain it myself." Tian Yi keeps quiet and Ji Kuai starts to explain everything with every detail..... a few moments later he finishes. "Alright, and who is this gentleman here?" - "i'm-" - "A Wandering Sage." - "a Wandering Sage? Hmm, alright." the branch manager turns to Tian Yi "Could you stay in the city for a few days? We're going to need you here when the higher ups arrive." Tian Yi asks Ji Kuai for his input. Ji Kuai says "It's just some formalities."
"Alright" at this point both Tian Yi and Ji Kuai excuse themselves and return to the beggar sect branch. They continue to Ji Kuai's quarters, Ji Kuai pulls out some of his favorite wine and asks Tian Yi does he want to have a drink? Tian Yi replies "I would rather have a bath right about now." - "Where? We don't have a bath here." Tian Yi opens his painting "Follow me." He tells Ji Kuai, they both enter the painting. They walk up to the house where the girls are and they each go and get a nice bath. After the bath, Tian Yi comes out and finds that someone had left him his clothes. He changes into them and has a look at his own reflection in the water. He decides to clean himself up. Tying up his hair and shaving his stubble. Tying up his hair reveals his eyes, one of Burgundy and the other Navy Blue. Now in his new outfit and his face and hair tidied up he walks out. He looks for Ji Kuai but finds Zhen Ai sitting by the balcony.
He walks over and asks her why isn't she sleeping, Zhen Ai hears his voice and spins her head around to greet him. She's shocked speechless, soon Yue Hua, Xiao Hua and Mei Lan walk over. "Oh my!" *gasp* Mei Lan exclaims, they're all equally shocked speechless. "Do you guys not like my outfit?" Tian Yi asks, "Damn" Yue Hua exclaims "YOU'RE SO HANDSOME!" Xiao Hua Shouts at the top of her little lungs! With a soft smile his curly hair flutters in the wind, "really?" His eyes glimmer lightly, with the stars in his outfit as white as snow. Zhen Ai's heart starts beating wildly.
"We've never noticed your face with you never tying up your hair, we just thought that you were just a messy person!" exclaimed Zhen Ai's, she's flushed red, everyone else quickly nods their head and Zhen Ai quickly runs off. Tian Yi is confused and continues to look for Ji Kuai. Yue Hua tells Tian Yi "Ji Kuai *blush* is at the gazebo at the top of that hill." pointing to a direction. Tian Yi notices Yue Hua blush when she says Ji Kuai's name and thanks her and goes to find Ji Kuai. He's looking towards the moon. Tian Yi walks up and asks if the wine is still up for offer. Ji Kuai answers "Yeah, lets drink." Ji Kuai pours their drinks.
"HOLY SHIT WHO ARE YOU" Ji Kuai notices Tian Yi's cleaned up appearance. "Huh? There's something wrong with my face right? The girls also acted like you." - "Dude, do you seriously not know? Just your face is probably enough to make girls fall in love." - "What do you mean?" - "Ah forget it, you'll understand it soon enough. Here, this is my spirit wine. It's hard as hell to buy but it's perfect for this occasion." - "You look melancholy, whats wrong?" - "*sigh* Everything is about to get more chaotic, and by killing the Blood Cult leader you just made a power vacuum for bandits and other things to happen. It's just political stuff don't worry about it." - "When you're melancholy, the wine will taste melancholy." - "We'll just need to get stronger to fight the bandits and bad guys."
"Can you help me get stronger?" Ji Kuai asks "Sure, i can try teaching you but you'll need to travel with me to learn experience." - "I'll do that then. I was getting worn out by trying to be the leader of this beggar sect branch anyway." - "What do you mean?" -
"When you reach a certain point in politics, people around you start to feel uneasy. I'm only 22 but i got the leaders position for this branch shoved on me. And now that the threat from this region is gone then i'll have to go back to being just someone's lackey, i've never wanted to be a beggar but i was orphaned and was forced to beg. After some time i joined the actual beggar sect and for a while things were great i was good at fighting but i never had any talent for a polearm. I always feel drawn to swords but this is the only weapon the beggar sect uses. If i can become good enough to fight and protect me and those i hold dear i'll be happy. Maybe one day i can start my own family and marry someone. Maybe one day. Ah sorry i rambled"
"Nah don't worry about it i'm sure you'll meet someone in the future. She may be closer than you think too. (Tian Yi notices Yue Hua's presence near by) By the way you also clean up pretty well too to be honest. *smirk*" (Tian Yi only said that because he felt Yue Hua listening to their conversation. He added the last part because he knew that Yue Hua was thinking the same thing) - "Yue Hua smiled at me when i asked her for somewhere to have wine. She's so pretty do you think i would have a chance?" (Tian Yi now feels Yue Hua's heart rate skyrocket and Ji Kuai drunkenly rambles on.) *voice transmission to Yue Hua* "could you bring us some snacks please? He looks pretty good right now too." Yue Hua gasps and runs off to bring snacks.
As they drink on, they talk about random things as if they were old friends. Yue Hua soon returns with some snacks to see Ji Kuai passed out. She looks at him so tenderly. "A drunken mans heart is the most honest." Tian Yi says as he smiles at Yue Hua as she blushes. Tian Yi grabs Ji Kuai's arm and carries him to a guest room.
